I would like to formally apologize for not keeping you accountable for three months. But I was recently reminded of this because I want to be held accountable too. I have a word count to reach every week. Can we do this again, but like, both of us at the same time?

Remington

“That sounds like a good idea. How about you take him, and I’ll fetch him some water?”

Callum’s head hung low, and Remington took the opportunity to shake him gently so it looked like he was nodding.

More labyrinth memes to pass your time

I love O Brother Where Art Thou

Lucille

“That’s okay. Those are natural bodily secretions,” Lucy murmured. She looked down at her admittedly already dirty shirt, and wiped it off with her own handkerchief.

@loopylin

Thank you for the useful ideas. I like 1, 2, 8, and 9 especially. We can also use the need for food as a motive to get stuck in these situations.

It’s funny that Rallascant is his own separate option

I have generated more ideas to add to your list:

Those are fun!! I like the melancholy look you’re going for with Baron. And funny poses like the last one are the best to draw.

@keilah-h

Do any of your characters still have guns? Just curious to know how many guns they carry on their person at all times

Gabriel will figure this out eventually, he’s just not used to being a dad

@rae

He’s trying so hard, but he’d feel more comfortable in the middle of a knitting group than here lol.

I’m thinking about adding a character who loves to knit, so this amuses me all the more. He might factually have the option to join a knitting group instead

Lucille

Lucy sometimes found herself making fists, pinching herself, breathing quickly, or screaming – without any control. Without knowing why. As if feelings blew through her body or pounded on her skull just because they could.

As she saw Mel trying not to cry, something clicked. Her parents sometimes took her aside…[Read more]

All the grown ups are so nice but also so confuzzled XD

Remington

Callum sighed as if still recovering. Poor thing. It must have been wrong to ask him so many questions. Remington, biting his own cheek in subdued guilt, patted him on the shoulder.

He turned back to Ellis. “Remington LaCreux, prince of… well, technically king of Surabond. If you look on the map, we’re that country that…[Read more]

Remington

“My current theory is that he has fainted from pure joy,” Remington explained. The stranger next to them came up and took Callum’s other arm.

Callum groaned. He seemed to regain focus, and rubbed his temples. “I… faint easily. You… overwhelmed me.”

“Ah. Maybe I overstepped just a little bit.” Remington brought his left…[Read more]

Marcel

“When I first got here, I made friends with a younger kid, the headmaster’s son. He was getting beat up by his own brothers.” Marcel’s mouth tightened at the memory. “We tried to report it but… nothing happened. I haven’t seen him in a while. Things happen in the open and the teachers do nothing about it. Punching matches in th…[Read more]

@koshka

However, he is influencing my sister.

Hehehehehhe

He is sixteen years old and already contemplating disowning his family.

We love a snarky, rebellious teenager. The energy Ari gives off is palpable, and you haven’t even written him yet.

It would be funny if all the characters were mostly clueless about other countries and had n…

@loopylin @elishavet-pidyon

Thx! I cackled more than normal. This is why they say writers fall in love with their side characters more than their main characters. 🤣

He’s like a golden retriever trying to befriend a terrified opossum hehe

Funnily enough, if Remi was an animal, I picture something like an opossum. Just in appearances. P…[Read more]

Speaking of being social

Remington

Seeing so many fresh, wide-eyed faces brought Remington more joy than he ever would have believed.

New kids were always interesting to meet. They all came from different places and cultures, and lived their lives in a way Remington couldn’t imagine. But they all had the same bright, chaotic wonder in their…[Read more]
