@rae Nice! Some good ol’ angst art. His proportions and hair look really good!

@koshka

That sounds fun! We could also share and recommend poets/poems with each other maybe.

That’s definitely something I think I need to work on in my writing.

Okay, I’ve been thinking about starting a challenge in January to read a poem every day. It’s something I’ve seen elsewhere as a way to help develop smoother, more lyrical prose.

I’m thinking that if you don’t have a good poet on hand for the day, a psalm will do. And there’s no penalty for missing a day, just a challenge to see if you can get in…[Read more]

“Hm.” Lucy was still thinking about Gabriel’s previous words. Maybe their homes were near each other; after all, Lucy couldn’t leave her city either. “I… No. Didn’t see anything.

“That’s nicer than being called Fifth at your christening.” Lucy glanced at him. “That’s my ma’s name too. Gabriella, I mean. It’s the prettiest name I know.”

@mineralizedwritings

idk, but I never read any of your story posts, I didn’t know you were posting on here. My Tauren is a sailor in a fantasy/fairytale I did.

@loopylin

I know right!?

ugh, lovely. The best of being an adult, I feel ya.

@ellette-giselle

NoOooo they’re making each other worse.

Lol. I’ll rp more later today. I have to write an email and do math for taxes and other lame adult stuff.

Rory

He rubbed the toe of his shoe against the ground and shrugged. “Yeah, you’re probably right. Brothers…. well, it just causes pain if you know them… because then someday… someday you might be on one side of the line, and they’re on the other, and you have the gun…” She shuddered.

After he was sure the floor was steady, the Protector gave Lucy one of his blades again. Lucy held it with the tip pointing down, but it glowed enough to illuminate their path. The walls swelled from years of shifting earth; dark solidified soil cracked through the plaster. Where the wall was unbroken, someone had decorated it with…[Read more]

Dante

Dante’s stomach twisted, and he shifted uncomfortably.

“That was just a lie to get you in the door. You don’t want me as a brother, trust me.”

He saw the hurt look on Rory’s face, and his stomach twisted even further. He looked away.

@loopylin

Rory 

“I’m not unfazed. I’m still trying to understand why he offered you a pain killer at all, and why he didn’t off you. Also, why can’t I call you brother if you just did a second ago?”

@ellette-giselle

This was the second time someone had claimed him with that familial title. He was beginning to like it.

Aww <3

Dante

They shook hands, finally formally introduced.  Rory cocked his head to the side. “Brother…?”

Dante looked at him sharply, a bit confused. “Don’t call me that.”

The doctor came in, and treated his wounds. He…[Read more]

There was another door ahead; gray, with wooden panels, it was the kind of door that hid along an equally gray wall in a sagging house.

“I want to know why it’s here.” Lucy got up and, after some thought, played a descending scale.

The floor creaked. As Lucy played, the room shifted like a ship at sea, and when she looked at the…[Read more]

‘Racist Hospital Workers Let Kid Die.’

😂 I’m dying

@loopylin

Rory

He held out his hand. “Rory. And I couldn’t leave you.” He cocked his head slightly. “Brother…?” This was the second time someone had claimed him with that familial title. He was beginning to like it.

@ellette-giselle

Dante

The hospital was close. Rory helped Dante walk to the bus stop, and then rode with him to the emergency room. Rory seemed tense and wary on the bus, but then, so was Dante. They picked a seat near the door, and kept an eye on the other passengers.

When they arrived, a nurse told them that a doctor was available to treat…[Read more]

Yep, those are the rules I remember

Lucille

Lucy had to choke down a snort. She took the piano lid and pulled. It was heavy but had no hinges. It fell off with a thunderous boom. She scampered back, lost her balance, and sat down suddenly. Dust rose and she let out two sharp sneezes.

@rae  @loopylin @mineralizedwritings  @grcr

Oh cool! I love all of these!!!

MIN!! you have a Tauren too!!!??
