Moth is right. They are both kind. Trivial things have insurmountable value.

Indeed. Such things can be very meaningful to someone else, even if no one else knows it.

@loopylin

You didn’t answer my question

I love you and will always be happy to support and pray with you as my friend.

That is very sweet of you to say, Elishavet. I also love you. I appreciate this and I am always willing to do the same for you. <3

Also totally willing to answer questions to the best of my ability.

I will keep that in mind. And thank you for your…[Read more]

Ari

Kind? Moth thought he was kind? The fairy king really hadn’t been around many people.

Still, his face softened, eyes bright, as he slid his last arrow into his quiver. No one had ever called him kind.

His full quiver bounced against his hip as he walked back. He glanced at Ellis, then picked up his own bow. So…[Read more]

Moth

“I cannot believe I have people to talk to. It is odd to say, but I am not accustomed to this — this spoiled lifestyle. Being with people — doing things, having small conversation — to everyone else this is normal, but for me… Perhaps it sounds silly, but these trivial things are rare to me. Thank you both for asking my…[Read more]

HA don’t expect anything too silly

@loopylin

O.O

Did they disappear?

Ari says yes. I don’t know what to RP for him saying that though.

Moth

Moth looked from Ellis to Ari, and set down his bow as well. “May I say something that is a little embarrassing for me?”

Hey! Quick question, since you’re talking about the Holy Spirit!

I’ve had friends and acquaintances who say that you have to experience Holy Spirit through a sign like speaking in tongues, and if you don’t, you aren’t saved. There’s also the alternate belief that you can be saved without the Spirit, but the ideal place in…[Read more]

My mother was, though

Is she dead?

@ellette-giselle

Ah, yes, me when writing last night

Ari

His eyebrow rose, but he made no other response. The statement didn’t seem to require one.

He hadn’t meant to give advice, only observe. Warn maybe. Why did you even open your mouth, Verenion?

No matter. He reached for his quiver.

It was empty. Perfect.

With a muttered, “don’t shoot me yet,” he set down his bow…[Read more]

*panicking because I haven’t actually decided what exactly Ellis is*

*Pained laughter because this is too relatable*

Ari

The boy’s mother? That was more human then, more than Ari’s blood.

No, the Elder are only cursed.

“Your brother?” He shook his head. “I’ve seen you around. Saw him when you first came in…[Read more]

Pardon me bringing this back, lol. It just struck me suddenly today without me thinking about it. Jim wasn’t a Christian when he died, I don’t think. Right?

Poor Ellis.

Ari

He spared the boy a glance, then reached up and tucked back the hair that covered his pointed ears.

“Not likely.”

The doctor here at the school had tried to sort him into some nice category or other when he’d first arrived. Ari shot off another arrow. It had been a year since he’d since he’d seen the…[Read more]

Moth

”I suppose it would not harm you to worry a little,” Moth told Ellis. “Not much.”

Flashbacks are useful literary devices. They can drop hints of mystery, clues to the story, or explain secrets.

Just have a good idea of how you’re using them in the book before you dive in. I don’t know how many times I’ve started writing something only to realize half-way through that it didn’t fit with the story. So, are…[Read more]

Me neither. =|

Ari

Fairy land? A strange turn of phrase, as if there was a definite destination, as if world’s didn’t simply overlap. Moons and wind and monstrous slimy creatures came to mind. His lips twitched.

In a placid voice he he addressed the arrow head in his hand.

“I don’t suppose fairies are so particular about who bakes the…[Read more]

If someone made him food, he’d invite them in and might try for a hug. ;] Emphasis on might. He doesn’t know if anyone would accept his hugs.

@ellette-giselle

You’re fine! I’ll see if Jasper wants to do something. I think he would stay quiet at this point and let someone else speak if they wish. But maybe I can come up with…[Read more]

Moth

It seemed best to take note of when Ari grew dark. Once again, he did not care to say much about himself, but some of his short, clipped exclamations did not seem to come from a place of peace. Passion — and something like anguish — shone out of him in short bursts, like sunlight half blocked by a hand.

Moth would und…[Read more]

Ellis is completely missing the point of Ari’s question. I apologize

No need. Ellis understood the assignment perfectly.

Ari

Ellis’s shot went wide. Ari waiting for him to start knock and draw again, then gently nudged his arm into a better position.

“Look down the shaft at the target. That will help.” He watched as E…[Read more]

*uninteligable screaming*

Careful, that’s bad for your throat. XD

I have a London Fog too! Probably going to wear it a ton this winter. Gotta ward off the anemia chills.

thanks for being the polite one and giving the RPs.

*Tips hat* No problem. It’s ma job.

@ellette-giselle

Well, based on those rps, Wolf can do something now if he wants to! Or Wilhelm and Jasper can continue interacting. Do you have a preference?

instead of try to scroll through a million RPs. 🤣

Luckily I have that google doc,…[Read more]

Ah, my poor little boy. Don’t worry child, you’ll be fine.

Ari

“No.” The word lept from him in a breath. His gaze went wide. Hands gripped, knuckles white.

“No. Never. It wouldn’t do any good. We will…go…just the same.”

Death. The void, as Father says. So unnatural. And if the Scroll is to be believed…

The silver…[Read more]

Moth

The young archer continued to prove his skill, and the other two boys watched. He showed no signs of straining, for he shot smoothly and without physical complaint.

It was easy to see why Ari loved this. It looked as easy for him as breathing.

“It is just a saying. A different way to say my shot was good fate,” Moth…[Read more]

Ari

His body tensed with confused alarm at Moth’s comment.

“Archery is more by instinct than anything else. You focus on a specific point you want to hit, and then line up the arrow with that point.” He absently knocked and drew as he spoke. It whipped home as he glanced back at Moth, then at Ellis. “What is…[Read more]

I’ve written some myself. What kind of poetry do you like to write?

Ah! Another poet, I see. I tend to write stuff with a strong pattern, even if that pattern isn’t always as clear as a rhyme scheme (although I do tend to use rhyme, meter, alliteration, all those good things). It mainly just depends on the texture of the poem I…[Read more]

I would love one day, when I have an actual job, to wear outfits with vintage elegance that slacks naturally have.

The dream, for sure.

I acquired them almost accidentally. I’m just as surprised as you are. XD

Any tips for thrifting?

This might be generic advice, but my best tip i…[Read more]

This is what my character Enid said

Heeyyy, we both have a character named Enid! That’s so cool!

What would you do if I said I was a stalker?

I would be flattered but also concerned. Hehe.

Panic! At The Disco

They have that album called Pretty Odd that I like! I’ve only listened to some of it though. They touched on baroque pop, which is sick. I love baroque pop.

Wolf can speak if he wishes! Or walk away and start training. Lol. Here are the most recent posts in our character group:

“Every weapon strikes my fancy.” Jasper chuckled, shaking his head at himself. “When I wish to distract myself from something, I experiment with new weapons. I have a preference for the one on my hip.…

Greetings and welcome! I write middle-grade fantasy, youth fiction, and a smattering of poetry. I’m also a historical clothing/culture nerd, hand-crafting enthusiast, and full-time university student (which makes it a little difficult to keep up with the other stuff, but alas. Tis my life.).

My current WIP is about a…[Read more]

It’s nice to meet you. :] Always good to see a new face.

I’m REALLY excited to be here. I totally wasn’t checking my inbox obsessively to see if I’d got my account details yet😅.

Are you a stalker? XD Just kidding. Hehe… I was the same. I’m sorry if there was a delay because we couldn’t set up new accounts for a while.

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?

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]

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]

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?

…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?…
