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?

Moth

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

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]

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]

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]

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 WANT A TRENCH COAT SO BAD WDYM YOU HAVE 3?!

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.

Oh yeeaah! I just looked her up. I…[Read more]

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

Jasper

“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.…

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?

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?…

There’s a reason I don’t drink caffeine.

I have a lot of things to thank God for, and this is certainly one of them. I can practically feel your radioactive energy shooting out of my screen.

Soooooo… ye like whaaaaales?

Wouldn’t you believe it, I’ve never been asked this question. Huh.

I actually have neutral opinions when it comes…[Read more]

You’re crazy. I like you.

Hello noob. You sound cool. :]

I must ask, how would you explain your summer novel, comic, D&D campaign, and metroidvania? Give me a little summary of each one, if you like. Or not. Whatever you would deign to tell a stranger.

It sounds like a challenge to combine steampunk, which is a genre built around retrofuturism and the…[Read more]

See, a perfect sphere is pretty, but something broken, something sharp – that could cut bonds.

Aaaahhh.

This is not just a straightforward evolution. You’re smelting off the dross.

Inglor is an elfling? Does he have any fantastical elvish abilities or talents?

…And this is the French Revolution? O.O

Ye. The whole story feels…[Read more]

Goodness, that was a rant you did not ask for. XD My apologies. It’s your turn to rant about something.

Someone may have asked this question before. But I’ll ask it. Do you have a current writing project, and what is it about?

hmm.. I like Kate ( though that seems predictable, but I sort of understand her).

Maybe it’s not that crazy to say this, but I think she’s a pretty unique kid and I’ve always loved her for that. She’s so unapologetically energetic but practical at the same time. And she carries the team several times.

There’s clevernes…

It’s his rock bottom.

😧

Inglor, no… I’m so sorry. I did not mean to lead your author to this idea. Please forgive me.

The poor guy probably doesn’t deserve to lose his rock. I vote he and his rock live happily ever after together, the end.

Is the project disconcerted as well?

Yes it is intensely disconcerted. It wasn’t even s…[Read more]

Really? *feels imense satisfaction*

Indeed. XD I hope Inglor finds constant hope under this vague doom you speak of.

I am both intrigued and concerned lol.

I am also concerned and I happen to be the writer of this… thing

Somehow, even though whenever we actually write in his story he’s a bundle of adventureous dreams and joy, he has always had this doom hanging over him.

His name somehow communicates that to me. Not concretely, but you know what I mean. It sounds dreamy to me, but also a little foreboding because of the –lor ending.

I think his s…

Thank you for contributing these lovely little memes today.

You need to tell me who Inglor is. I am a touch concerned for him. 😅 It sounds like he thinks he’s okay and he isn’t really okay.

Also, Remi meme! Heehee! I… may or may not be writing a novella for him. That may or may not be happening as we speak.

Heck yes, it’s overstimulating. Hopefully it will calm down and everyone will settle! Or we’ll get used to it, I suppose. Either way, I’m thankful because the site was beginning to look desolate.

*Comes in, closes the door behind me, and crashes on the nearest beanbag* Undeniably yes. It’s my comfort series. Who is your favorite character, what is your favorite book, why do you like the series, and do you have any other opinions you wish to report?

You are very welcome

@savannah_grace2009

Heeyyyyy, so uh… yeah, things are a little chaotic at the present. It hasn’t been happening for long! I believe we started getting new members on Monday? Not sure. We are all alive, some of us just barely. We were used to the quieter pace and now things are changing. This place is busy again. :]

I would kind of like to be siblings with the Wingfeathers (tho that would throw off the entire plot), or Kate from Mysterious Benedict Society. Those come to mind first.

*Peeks at this conversation through a crack in the door*

Are you… a big fan of Mysterious Benedict Society?

You’re welcome! Our brains need room to breathe and generate ideas without rules. Sometimes we cause our problems by putting too many walls around ourselves, hehe.

You literally just answered the question I’ve been asking myself: why have I never finished first drafts? It’s because the middle of my book always feels forced!!!

There you have it! When I talk with people, either about my own work or theirs, that section in between the inciting incident and the midpoint is almost always the pro…[Read more]

Rallascant, you fuzzy snitch. You’re the opposite of a lucky rabbit’s foot.

I do appreciate your sass, but this is remarkably unhelpful.

Moth

Well done. Moth’s chest rose a little.

He tilted his head in a sort of shrug, eying his attempt. It looked like he had some skill – even though that was not true. His initial wish for the shot had been much humbler. “I must make offerings to serendipity in my sleep. How do I know where the arrowhead will fly?”

Yeah, the middle part of a story is always the weirdest part. Koshka and Quicksilver made good points. I think a huge part of it is coming up with obstacles, and then connecting them to lead to the midpoint.

Follow-up question. Is it possible that the structure isn’t the issue, but that it’s incredibly difficult to think of actual…[Read more]

I’ll see if I can borrow this through my library! I was planning to get into my local library this week anyway. Interlibrary loans should give me access to this.

I haven’t read Adorning the Dark, but I’ve heard of it. I’ve heard good things about it. It has a lovely title.

In the space of a couple days, we’ve started making new accounts for people again, and this is the result. Lots of people. 😅

There is a topic for explaining the roleplays now. As most of you know. I only gave basic blurbs for the most recently active three.

They are concept blurbs, not plot summaries. I could probably make plot summaries too. That will take longer, but hey, it would be helpful.

I’m thinking of Labyrinth…[Read more]

*Hands you an apologetic bag of gummy peach rings* Watch everything from the darkness of your hideaway.

Thank you! It would be a pleasure to collect enough information to make blurbs for all the roleplays. I figured this is a decent intro.

That’s great news! I’ll give you a list of recent/important ones/off the top of my head. If you have the time, I’ll make a complete list later.

Well, I got on a video call with the cofounder and we talked about a few things. :]

A moderator is in charge of keeping the forum in order and following the guidelines. They have the ability to edit or delete anyone’s posts, that sort of thing. I might be able to move things, too.

I’m sorry to hear this has come upon your family. 🙁 I will pray. I hope your father heals and finds peace during the process.
