Little tangent to the conversation. I’m not sure if you’ve seen this new character art, since you’re not on the royal rp. And this is the art topic. So I’ll share! :]

This is the Moth Prince. He’s my fav and I’ve enjoyed writing about him recently. By recent, I mean the past six months or so.

If any of my guy charries were to be mistaken for a girl, honestly it’d be Baron rn. He’s very slender, and when his hair is long, it’s absolutely gorgeous!

I can see that. It’s funny to sometimes realize that a character is androgynous from someone else’s perspective. I have a few who are rather androgynous, but that’s because I have a bad…[Read more]

Sounds like it was a pretty fun rabbit trail to go down though.

Speaking of rabbit trails, I was going to tell you – I started reading about changelings in folklore, and it’s been argued that changelings were an explanation for special-needs kids. I think that idea is so interesting and sad.

I grow sadder and more bitter just reading that lol.

He is searching the world for his people, but everyone died before he got there. I think anyone in that position would grow bitter after a while.

His story does have a lovely ending though, right? *squints through my ProtectionsquadTM Sunglasses*

I should hope so! I’ve tried t…[Read more]

In the early concepts of Gabriel’s story, the news reported that they thought the new Protector was a girl…Gabriel, upon hearing this, was positively both offended and amused.

Maybe the Protector role will be passed down to a girl someday, so I can see why people would speculate about that. But that probably made Gabriel question his app…[Read more]

After all, the life of a Protector can be a lonely one as you aren’t supposed to let many people close.

What is the reason for this?

Gabriel: “Yes. She loves me.” *He pauses, seeming to remember something and looks away slightly as if embarrased.*

Lucy: *Supportive, curious, and disgusted at the same time* *Doesn’t know what else to say* *G…[Read more]

I think it’s interesting that Thumbelina keeps getting into unfortunate situations where she might have to marry someone she does not like. I wonder if the fairy tale is inspired by a societal problem from the time it was made up.

By the way, is your flu feeling better now? And are you doing any writing these days, or more focused…[Read more]

Koshka is right, that sounds exactly like The Light Princess. *Nostalgia hits*

Cool little thing.

That’s… cool. Yeah, very cool. SO cool. 😐

Girl, I don’t think you know what the word cool means.

*Grabs Baron, ties an evacuation label around his neck, stuffs him into a train, and sends him a thousand miles away from your WIP*

so that’s kind of cheating if it’s for a survival project lol.

Yeah, cheating is fine sometimes, but it’s satisfying to find other solutions when you’re building something in survival. My brothers keep telling me to cheat when I’m trying to find materials for something, but can’t find it, and I think that’s so unfun.

I started dyi…

Your thoughts make sense, don’t worry.

Instead of just fighting them like a soldier would, a Protector is meant to learn every type of monster, every strategy, every venom, every poison, every antidote. They are meant to study behaviors and take notes on them.  All in hopes of not only saving lives, but finding a way to stop the monsters fo…

Firstly, you just made me squeak in joy and turn my normal perch into a gollum-esq crouch. XD

*Crouches and squawks* RELATaBLE

Unfortunately for him, she’s a little boy crazy and loves the whole situation a little too much. He would not mind if it weren’t that she gets on his last nerve on purpose. He has to be chivilarous, so s…

Awww no. I don’t like emotional turmoil. I shall send you virtual cookie. *sends cookie*

I think I’m having dramatic mood swings today because every time someone has messaged me or posted in the past hour, I start laughing hysterically. Very different from how I was a few hours ago. XD *Munches on cookie*

Yeaaah. I’ve been build…

Oh, I didn’t see Wilhelm’s chart!! *Facepalm* Stupid inconsistent notifs.

Observations:

– I want to know who Wilhelm is betrothed to. What exactly is the dynamic here? Who is this girl?

– I somehow did not know he had golden hair. I pictured him as dark-haired this whole time. How dare I assume his hair color.

– It’s reall…[Read more]

Yup yup yup, mixed feelings and confusion as he’s slowly found out he might have been lied to all his life…

I sense this lie might have something to do with the lore drop you posted on the rp topic.

Um, so, when you’re father was openly acknowledged as the most “lordly” and attractive of his brother’s and you happen to take after him e…

I’m doing good! In some emotional turmoil, but that seems to be normal for me these days.

Oh no, the flu… Uuggghhh. I’m glad video games are a decent distraction. What have you been working on in Minecraft?

Nice chart! I didn’t know Ari likes singing until choir singing showed up in his thoughts. It is good to hear that he also likes flatbread. A man of taste.

He sure has mixed feelings about his family, because he doesn’t accept any slights to his family – that’s a shred of loyalty – but he also doesn’t enjoy looking like his father. He…[Read more]

Moth

“There you have it, then.”

They walked on, following where the trail might have gone.

There weren’t any other signs of disturbance. After a while longer, it seemed like a wild goose chase. No matter. A wild goose chase was something to do, anyway. Moth admired the landscape as they went.

LOL hearing the slang in Lucy’s world from her is cute.

😛 Many of the people living around Lucy are young men who work in the factories or the fields, and she sometimes talks with them when they’re in the soup kitchens. I still haven’t decided how different the Outer Fields teenage culture is from the more populated city areas…[Read more]

Moth could explain what a robot is, but he doesn’t know very well himself.

Moth

The faerie continued walking. “It came with Lois Thorne. A quiet metal man, it was. Perhaps he commanded it to go into these gardens. I do not know why.”

Moth

“Ghosts can walk, although they cannot leave footprints. It might be a Neighbor, taking hold of a physical vessel. But that is unlikely. It is most likely a machine.”

Moth stopped short. “Ah, I remember. I saw a machine yesterday night.”

Moth

Moth collected some of the cotton-like fluff from the reeds and made a palm-sized nest on the ground. He laid the bird there. Then he started walking, speeding up to a quick stride. “You coming, Stormwatcher?”

Not to mention he’s been abused by the people of his own home that he’s more willing to trust a complete stranger not from the island than a villager from it.

Yeah that makes sense.

Why can’t Gabriel leave the island? Are there crazy storms that make it impossible to sail away? Or is it the demon monsters that get in the way?

It’s a fun coi…[Read more]

I’m scared to ask because I don’t want you to be right

I won’t say anything, then.

Moth

Ellis voice had grown a touch uncomfortable. His eyes, which had glowed icy blue a minute ago, were scanning the reeds.
He could be right. This was just how nature worked. But the bird might have been killed unnaturally.
Moth went back to stu…[Read more]

Moth

“Why? Did you have a vision, just then? Was it…”

Moth stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the bird’s body. He picked it up and cradled it to his chest, brushing its head feathers with his fingers. The poor thing was still warm.

He was looking down at a new set of footprints in the snow. They were barefoot and small like a child’s.

I’m so invested. I have a theory

Can Moth sense other things like fairy vs human souls? I’m curious about his abilities now

Moth antennae are really cool in regular nature. They have a great sense of smell and they can track down…[Read more]

I get it. The ramblings must be understandable before you share them with someone. 😛

Oh my goodness, that reminds me, you sent the first chapter of Tap Fairies to me and I don’t think I reacted. *Sigh* I’m a bad friend. I read it and I liked it very much. Especially the librarian.

Do you want help brainstorming? Even if you don’t need help right now, I offer my aid anytime.

Which story are you working on?

I still like the ship name Winter Rose since you last showed me this. It’s so cute. Also, that drawing is Fel is pretty good imo.

@koshka

Oh no. 😟 *Pats your shoulder comfortingly* I know how that feels. I will stay here with you for moral support.

Moth

”I don’t know.” Moth shrugged. “I’m not very good at distinguishing between levels of being. This thing with feet might have a soul, but it has no organic body.”

Oh yeah, that’s the normalest thing for your characters. Not weird in the slightest.

They are chaos and quiet mornings and two kinds of bravery and a good cup of tea.

I love this way of summarizing them

Well… I assume the prints belong to the SIAS unit. @loopylin please correct me if I’m wrong, and I’ll change what Moth said

:]

@loopylin

Moth

“That is a great gift, nevertheless. You are fortunate to have your own family line to guide you. A forecaster…” The Shaffers had once shown Moth a weather forecast. It seemed such a hard thing to predict when storms were born. The weather of wild human spirits must be even harder to predict.

Moth held…[Read more]

Happy birthday!! Congrats on living this long!

(Perhaps that is a weird thing to congratulate someone for. No matter.)

This is why I call him oblivious.

Ah. That explains it.

(Lucy’s reaction to such an episode would be interesting, as she would completely break or try to keep him together. I can see it going either way personally.)

I’m n…[Read more]

A modern pell, used for practicing with swords:

Moth

“That’s wicked,” Moth breathed. “Can you see someone’s fate just by looking at him?”

Yep, he followed Ellis

Moth

“What does the name Stormwatcher mean?” Moth spoke up, right behind Ellis.

Also I don’t want to be controlling how all this works. So if anyone wants to change this or thinks something works better, I really don’t mind. I’m not the person who makes the final say. It’s entirely based on what your characters need.

Thoughts? Is this actually practical or does something else make a lot more sense? Is this scribble legible?

A few questions. Should this gymnasium take up pretty much all of the back of the academy? Should it be in the main feature back there or should we put it to the east or west side? Or is it completely separate from the main building?

the path from the main…
