Plus, one of my beta readers is a YouTuber

That’s something I’ve never heard before XD

It’s also going to be very interesting because she is a self-professed therian, but is already a fan of my art and Baron (she literally made fanart of him)

Nor have I heard that. You’ve found a diverse pool of beta readers.

I’ve been on KP for over two yea…

@rae

I’m gonna wait for Keilah to rp

👍

Yes. I have two confirmed beta readers at the moment, plus a friend who I’m going to ask, and someone who I have to double check with (because they are not Christian, and they said they would be okay reading it, but I want to make sure. I really don’t want them to feel forced into something.)

Nice. How long…[Read more]

@rae

Oh wow! Are these beta readers for Baron Chronicles? I didn’t know you were that far along in the editing process.

The foliage was so thick that they sat in relative comfort underneath it. It was like standing under the awning of a shop. The wood creaked up and down, like a oak and glass door, opening and shutting under…[Read more]

@keilah-h

K!

@rae

Should they put together a makeshift camp or something? Make a plan? Ik that’s not the most fantastical thing ever but they both seem like the type of character to do that. Got any ideas? XD

@rae

Lucille

None of that sounded like a definite answer, so Lucy shrugged. She was just as interested in becoming a secretary, anyway.

A clap of thunder rumbled in the distance. Bugs chirped louder as if getting their last voices in before something louder arrived. Gabriel and Lucy sped up, jogging over leaf piles and patches of heather.

@rae

Because she’s a diva? 🤣

Lucille

For a while, neither of them had anything to say. Lucy slipped the leather cover onto the hatchet, and they moved on, the tree’s fallen leaves trailing behind them. While they had spent time there, a darker mass of clouds had approached on the horizon and the wind howled somewhere above their heads.
“Do you…[Read more]

@rae

Broooo I just realized you and Rumi from K-Pop Demon Hunters would get along

Lucille

“You save their butts from dying and they hate you because of irregularly distributed pigmentation? These people sound stupid. Chihuahua brains. You should ditch them.”

@grcr

I don’t know who got shot!

@grcr

Good scene! I’m still not really sure what happened at the end… but yeah, I was expecting the dad to die too. 😅🥲

I like the siblings too (although their names are confusing, haha.)

@theducktator

Yay! Hope you feel better soon!

@ellette-giselle Haha, your signature! XD

@rae

Unvale looks fun

Lucille

“Why not tell everyone? They’d stop hating you then.”

@rae

I figured something like that lol

Lucille

“Huh. Okay.” She threw the hatchet again and succeeded. “Why don’t you tell your – uh – friends what you’re really doing?”

@rae

Lucille

Lucy pulled the hatchet out of the tree. Her cheeks glowed red from the effort and her arms felt good from the exercise. She cradled the head in one hand and the handle in the other, striding back to Gabriel.

She didn’t smile very much, not doing so on the best of days, but gave him all of her eyes’ attention. “Is Isabella your sweetheart?”

@rae

Lucille

“Bet they wanted you because you’d win.”

She stepped forward, gray eyes focused sharply on the tree, and the hatchet sunk into the bark.

@rae

Lucille

It soon became obvious that Lucy had less trouble using her own strength than quelling it. Every time she threw the hatchet, she overshot and sent it zinging back over the stoned ground.

But aiming seemed like a more important thing to get right, and after a couple tries, she remembered to pause and focus on the tree. She hit the…[Read more]

@rae

Throwing axes is pretty fun, I’ve done it a couple times

Lucille

The hatchet was smooth and solid in Lucy’s hand, curved to fit her grip. She tested its weight before nodding to Gabriel and pulling her arm back.

With surprising force, she whipped it at the tree. With a metallic clang, the hatchet ricocheted off the stone wall behind. The…[Read more]

Marcel

Marcel narrowly dodged. A boy, the wind-controller from the previous period, had already taken to the air. It made sense to place the flying students in opposition to each other. “Celarent! You don’t want me to follow you up there, do you?”

My brother: *Listening to a song with the lyrics ‘I just can’t run away’* “Actually you can, girl. I’d run away if I were you.”

Me: “No you couldn’t.”

Brother: “Why not?”

Me: *Looks pointedly at his disabled legs* 😁

Brother: *Bursts into laughter*

…

From the outside looking in, it is strange to be someone who only watches disabled sports…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Five months later I have to say, that’s a great quote

@rae

Lucille

Lucy handed him the hatchet. She also rolled up her sleeves so they wouldn’t get in the way. “Are we gonna chop wood?”
