Those are awesome! I love what you’ve done with the horns…

@kathleenramm No prob! Kingdom pen is always a lot of help ❤

@keilah-h XD He’s more of a music and debate person, actually. And he can handle people – he just doesn’t like them. So, don’t expect him to be friendly.

Yeah, okay. Is he the nervous type, then?

@keilah-h

Not particularly – he just gets these bouts of intense emotion or introvert-ness. He’s kind of a ticking bomb. He doesn’t like books. Nor does he like people. Unless he decides to.

@keilah-h

Well, she (I) is pretty laid-back when it comes to dragon-like monsters. So it kinda depends on context. But they might meet up… who knows?

Time to overthink things. Time to blow up into smithereens. Time to panic.

Eyebrows doing acrobatics, Seb muttered under his breath. “Books… books… books… this is going to kill me.”

Books.

Shiloh

…Candle?

No. A whole chandelier. The whole kit and caboodle.

Shiloh got up, stumbling a little when she found that she had never been sitting on anything in the first place. It was as if her room had vanished into the clouds, leaving her in the imaginary world she had always seen in the corners of her eyes.

It was a library, no doubt…[Read more]

@MINERALIZEDWRITINGS

Thanks!! I luv how I get to scream at you

There, I broke the ice for you

Shiloh

The bedroom, littered with stuffed animals and scraps of doodled-on paper, gleamed in the light from the skylight.
Shiloh hid on a beanbag, under a pile of blankets, a pair of old headphones and a gold crown perched crookedly on her head. The country music kept her warm and fuzzy inside – as if she wasn’t warm and fuzzy enough. Her…[Read more]

Yep, all good!

Of course! Like the others said, it’s meant to compliment, but it’s totally fine if you don’t like it 😉

@artsy-dragon

I’m in suspense XD Maybe you need to load them a different way? The names are intriguing, but I can’t see the drawings

@esther-c
