Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll…. XD

There was this truce thing going on.

I still have 10 snowballs available. I am saving them for instant defense against an attack.

@freed_and_redeemed

Come on in! There’s hot cocoa and apple cider in the stove.

*Sips cider*

@ellette-giselle

Oh dear. I think I’m going to go hide in the log cabin.

@stephie

I’m fine with women going into battle, as long as they dress, act, and fight like women (and the author doesn’t try to make some weird point out of it). It’s when girls start saying things like “I’m just as good as a guy” or “I’m better than any guy.” Because, while I believe that all people are in fact equal, what the author sounds like…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Eeek!

*is flattened*

XD Let’s see what we can do with this….

@stephie

Oh! I like them. The first is very lonesome/dreamy, and the second does well painting its picture.

@esther-c

Glad you like it! 😀

*ducks into fort*

*is defending herself with her arsenal of ten snowballs*

*and a golden tin of cookies*

@whalekeeper

Ooooooo, looks sticky and sweet. Should be percent to feed to the little cousins come Christmas day.

*Grins*

@ellette-giselle

Hmmmmm.

Ok. I’m seeing a child soldier type. He’s got a past and he doesn’t care what he does because he doesn’t want to care. Yet he also feels he still has something to accomplish. He could be redeemable, or he could be an incredible thorn in the MC’s side. As for who he is… I don’t know. I think he was once connected to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Hmm. Well, he looks like an SC, maybe an anti-hero or antagonist, although I don’t know if he’s a villain.

Is he perchance the oldest of the street orphans?

@ellette-giselle

Oh yes please. I love guessing what type of character a charie is from their board.

@freed_and_redeemed

Thank you! It’s for my new WIP. (Which you probably already know. XD)

I like yours. His character is always interesting to see illustrated visually. The contrast of tender love for his children and the dark realities of his past right next to each other is incredible. ❤️ And the quites add hope. ☺️

@whalekeeper

That’s… Really bittersweet. It feels very much like it’s inside a person’s head. As the child who grew up going to nursing homes, I like it. The end makes it sweet.

@whalekeeper

I just had to go look up what a French silk pie is (and am now craving chocolate). I love those, but we typically make chocolate cream pies with merengue like coconut cream pies (which we also make, and pecan pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, cheesecake…*moan of hunger*)

I don’t remember hearing of this hopscotch, but I’d be…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s a much more coherent poem than my typical rambling-until-they-turn-to-poetry thoughts end up.

@whalekeeper

(Edit: The meat isn’t raw, just the masa)

So I assumed. That would be… interesting.

@whalekeeper

XD that’s great. I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

@whalekeeper

WhAt??????

It’s a great tradition. Also, homemade tamales are almost worth dying for.

@esther-c

Ah. That makes sense. We have turkey and ham for both, so we have dressing at both.

@esther-c

So, does your family have dressing or stuffing (or neither)?

We usually have cornbread dressing, although we have family up north who have stuffing, and I like both. The debates over which is better are fun to listen to.
