Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

@quicksilverwyvern

Sure, I’ll ask Paul some questions!

Hello, Paul. It’s nice to make your acquaintance.

Where are you from?

Do you have a family? Are there any people who have influenced your life positively, and who are they?

Would you tell me about this siege you’re preparing for?

@writingwren

Welcome to the Kingdom! I write middle-grade fantasy (currently involving way too much stained glass), poetry (occasionally penned, though rarely shared), and youth fiction (although my main project there is on the back burner so…). I’m a twin, a full-time university student, a history/culture nerd, and a hand-crafting enthusiast…[Read more]

That was a bit of a long response but this is the film thoughts and reviews topic, haha. @eliasg I would love to hear your thoughts!

@eliasg

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

I wrote out a detailed response to this, but my post didn’t go through. 😒 So I’ll try again.

I think it’s a flawed adaptation but a quality modern film. It is very stylistically “Christopher Nolan” which is exactly why it is flawed yet still quality.

As an adaptation, it gets several things wrong – the b…[Read more]

Going to sprint for an hour to try and finish this book-by-chapter outline for Project Faerie Glass. Starting at (6):02.

@elishavet-pidyon

In his world “elf” is a racial slur. *narrows eyes at Koshka*

Of course it is. XD I will never speak that word around Inglor again.

He has heightened senses generally, talks to trees, and is ridiculously agile.

So Inglor is a monkey. 😀

For instance, a stranger traveling through the Wode expects to see lots of animals, maybe a r…

Wouldn’t it be great to own an ice cream or candy shop, and spend your days making pretty treats?

@stellybean

…If cereal has a lot of milk, is it a soup?

Hmm. I don’t know. It’s not cooked, so I’m a little skeptical. Not to mention, soup is savory. But I am willing to be persuaded.

……Are burritos/tacos a sandwich?

Decidedly no. Sandwiches are made from two pieces of bread with another type of food in between them.

………Is ice cream beautiful?…

@stellybean

There’s a reason I don’t drink caffeine.

I have a lot of things to thank God for, and this is certainly one of them. I can practically feel your radioactive energy shooting out of my screen.

Soooooo… ye like whaaaaales?

Wouldn’t you believe it, I’ve never been asked this question. Huh.

I actually have neutral opinions when it comes…[Read more]

@stellybean

You’re crazy. I like you.

@quicksilverwyvern

Hello noob. You sound cool. :]

I must ask, how would you explain your summer novel, comic, D&D campaign, and metroidvania? Give me a little summary of each one, if you like. Or not. Whatever you would deign to tell a stranger.

It sounds like a challenge to combine steampunk, which is a genre built around retrofuturism and the…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

See, a perfect sphere is pretty, but something broken, something sharp – that could cut bonds.

Aaaahhh.

This is not just a straightforward evolution. You’re smelting off the dross.

Inglor is an elfling? Does he have any fantastical elvish abilities or talents?

…And this is the French Revolution? O.O

Ye. The whole story feels…[Read more]

@quarterstaffgirl

Goodness, that was a rant you did not ask for. XD My apologies. It’s your turn to rant about something.

Someone may have asked this question before. But I’ll ask it. Do you have a current writing project, and what is it about?

@quarterstaffgirl

hmm.. I like Kate ( though that seems predictable, but I sort of understand her).

Maybe it’s not that crazy to say this, but I think she’s a pretty unique kid and I’ve always loved her for that. She’s so unapologetically energetic but practical at the same time. And she carries the team several times.

There’s clevernes…

@elanor

Lovely.

*Eats poem*

@elishavet-pidyon

Inglor! No!

*Grabs baby elfling*

*Yeets off into forest*

I think Inglor is the epitome of that “what are you going to do with the sharp edges of your soul?” “Cut vegetables.” meme.

@whalekeeper

…..

Please say Remi survives the book. I will happily read about all sorts of wild weird French Alice in Revolution Land, but…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

It’s his rock bottom.

😧

Inglor, no… I’m so sorry. I did not mean to lead your author to this idea. Please forgive me.

The poor guy probably doesn’t deserve to lose his rock. I vote he and his rock live happily ever after together, the end.

Is the project disconcerted as well?

Yes it is intensely disconcerted. It wasn’t even s…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Really? *feels imense satisfaction*

Indeed. XD I hope Inglor finds constant hope under this vague doom you speak of.

I am both intrigued and concerned lol.

I am also concerned and I happen to be the writer of this… thing

@elishavet-pidyon

Somehow, even though whenever we actually write in his story he’s a bundle of adventureous dreams and joy, he has always had this doom hanging over him.

His name somehow communicates that to me. Not concretely, but you know what I mean. It sounds dreamy to me, but also a little foreboding because of the –lor ending.

I think his s…

@elishavet-pidyon

Thank you for contributing these lovely little memes today.

You need to tell me who Inglor is. I am a touch concerned for him. 😅 It sounds like he thinks he’s okay and he isn’t really okay.

Also, Remi meme! Heehee! I… may or may not be writing a novella for him. That may or may not be happening as we speak.
