Rory

Rory didn’t say anything. It was too confusing. It didn’t make sense to him… but perhaps Leo’s world was different? If that was possible.

Rory let out a slow breath. “Leo, do you have Agents where you’re from?”

Mateo

Fine! Mateo thought to himself, It should be more, ‘Yes, sorry, Senior Mateo’ not ‘Fine’! I should blow him to pieces. *sigh* But that will upset Little Fellow, and I do not want that. He is fearless of the dead, which may be his downfall at some point but for now it has my respect. And at least the mocoso is…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s terrifying. Hopefully it was just an overly dramatic kid.

*Leo nods in concern*

*Silvia appears and gives you a hug* “Welcome to the team! You’re… Salamander.”

*Leo rolls his eyes*

“Desecrated government property? My neighborhood wasn’t a… high class place. I don’t even know how we got sidewalks. Probably one of those ‘city improvement’ plans where they make nonsense jobs…[Read more]

Felicity

“I’m sure he would like that. I would too. I’ve never pet one. They would run off if I tried. You must have some really special talent to be able to get that close to them.”

@whalekeeper @raxforge

Celarent 

Celarent glowered at Mateo, stuffing his hands in his pockets to hide their shaking. “Fine.” He could usually keep his mouth shut and convince people to like him, but something about Mateo made him forget every one of his carefully rehearsed rules of human interaction. It was infuriating. Celarent straightened…[Read more]

Ryla

Ryla nodded uncertainly. Falling into something or someone seemed like a foreseeable consequence of walking backwards to her, but neither of them had been hurt so it didn’t matter. “Take two. They’re chocolate chip.” She handed Maverick her bag of cookies. “Do you typically walk backwards?”

@whalekeeper

Glad I can be useful.

How often does your stutter happen?

It happens every day, but seemingly at random. I talked to a stranger today without having any problems, but then got stuck on the word “profile” when asking my friend if she had a spotify profile/account. It feels as random as getting hiccups, except more often.

Does it still…

@ellette-giselle

I’m not sure. The police told me to call back if I hear anything else. My neighborhood is not a suspicious area – it’s old and very peaceful – but there’s a thick fence behind us, and a large apartment complex beyond. That’s where it probably came from.

@loopylin

I’m so glad you brought this back. And I’m glad you spoke up, because I’m writing a protagonist whose speech is very affected by stress, and it’s interesting to read about. How often does your stutter happen? Does it still affect you when you’re alone (if you talk to yourself)?

It’s also fascinating how stutters are similar to tics. I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

that’s disturbing.
do you think you’ll find out what happened?

@loopylin

I hope they’re okay, too. It sounded like a woman or a child, so I just hope it was an overdramatic kid? …I don’t know.

It was real because my sister heard some of it. I went out to my pitch-black yard and listened for a long time, and even heard faint sobbing in the wind. Very disturbing.

@whalekeeper Good im glad you’re ok. Kinda worried there for a bit.

I hope the person you heard was ok too

@theducktator @ellette-giselle @loopylin @keilah-h

Sorry for commenting so abruptly, so late – I’m okay! XD I heard bad screams coming from my skylight window. There was some sobbing and yelling for help, and it died away before I could figure out where it was coming from. So we called the police.

I tend to hear weird things in the middle of the…[Read more]

The first story I remember writing…

Well, a long time ago… I mostly just started a bunch of random stories with phrases like “There once was a little girl who was very, very, ugly” or “Charlotte was a cat who didn’t like mice” (I liked the name Charlotte for no explainable reason) and then left them at a few sentences long and forgot about…[Read more]

Crosshair: Join the Red Team and we’ll be back together!

Hunter: Wait, we’re not gonna join the Empire?

Crosshair: What? No! We’re gonna join another universe which all our squad will unite again, but without objectives, Droids, and dead bodies because of respawn.

Hunter: *thinks about it* Well,…[Read more]

Don’t know is this counts as a neurological issue, but did yall know that you can develop a stutter in adulthood? Well I didn’t until recently. And it is the most frustrating thing ever. I no longer see characters with stutters as cute or anything, I just feel bad for them because I know how it feels now. Apparently, not only can stress affect…[Read more]

@whalekeeper yikes.

at 11 at night too

@elishavet-pidyon

You have a good point. I always like it when books flip gender stereotypes without being weird about it. I read a book once where one of the MCs, a knight, enjoyed knitting. He was still a man, he just knit stuff.

@trailblazer

*shudders* Yeah, nothing short of a call from God could ever induce me to send my kids to public school. And my kids aren’t going to be allowed to date until they’re 16 either.
