I might one of these days! I think I shall set a goal to finish at least half of my WIP before joining any RPs though, because I will totally get distracted and abandon my story XD

I said hello and then was immediately distracted, sorry. XD Your Minecraft ship sounds splendid.

Oh no that’s alright lol!! Thanks! XD

Congrats!! That sounds so fun. I love editing, personally, although maybe you don’t feel that way. What’s this WIP about? Have I heard about it before or is it a recent thing?

Thanks! Honestly, I wasn’t sure how I was going to like it since this is the first time I’ve ever made it to draft #2. It is fun though! I feel like I’m bas…[Read more]

it’s been argued that changelings were an explanation for special-needs kids

That explains a lot

I should not be happy about this because if I lived in that time period someone probably would’ve murdered me by now, but I am happy about it.

now i just need cool stripes.

Wait, what scene is this? Is this a scene where he almost dies in the middle of the story, or is this the end of his story?

What?! I wanna know!

I was going to say if it was his ending and you decided to bring him back, maybe he loses his connection to the wind permanently and that’s his punishment rather than dying. But idk if that…[Read more]

Ellis

They reached the trees on the edge of the field and continued wandering, keeping the school in sight. The tension from the vision and finding the dead bird was eased by time and the peaceful nature surrounding them. Ellis picked up a broken branch off the ground. It could have been broken by the metal man, or just as easily…[Read more]

Princes were odd creatures. This, Sarabelle knew very well after working at the school as a cleaner for the past three years. She knew this well enough to tell the difference between a student being eccentric, and a student being suspicious. She paused her duties to watch one particular curly haired youth wander shiftily around the hall…[Read more]

And I have been writing a bit! I finally finished the first draft of my WIP in June. I’m working on chapter 8 of draft two currently.

Congrats!! That sounds so fun. I love editing, personally, although maybe you don’t feel that way. What’s this WIP about? Have I heard about it before or is it a recent thing?

Yes, me literally killing Baron isn’t very cool, but the realization about the Elementals that resulted from it is cool!

I can see what you’re saying. It’s fun to come up with specific details, and have them seamlessly click in your head like that.

I do believe you’re just mentioning the chest compressions to pacify me, though.

Oh. Actuall…[Read more]

So maybe we – the labyrinth people – helped you realize Gabriel should be an older brother? :-p

Thank you! You probably know what it’s like to have a character who keeps stealing your attention. This little guy is my attention thief right now.

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]

She has some wisdom. XD

I wouldn’t call it that

That’s valid. I just spent 20 minutes researching the Pre-Raphealite art movement because I was wondering if it would be a better term than “medieval” for costume design. Result: it would not.

XD that is very relatable. Sounds like it was a pretty fun rabbit trail to go down thoug…[Read more]

Would she like sky-diving?

Uhhhhhhhhh

I don’t think so. She doesn’t like feeling out of control of her circumstances. She likes being up high  in trees and things because it’s calming and the view is peaceful. It makes her feel safe. She’s not thrill seeking. (I very much overthought this question)

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 wonder if the fairy tale is inspired by a societal problem from the time it was made up.

Huh. I didn’t even think about that. That seems possible.

By the way, is your flu feeling better now? And are you doing any writing these days, or more focused on other things?

Yeah, thanks! I just got a cough now. I think I accidentally spread…[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.

This looks really fuuUuuUUuUuUUun.

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.

Oh yeah no. That is no fun.

:-p I was a little inspired by Thumbelina. And Pride and Prejudice, come to think of it. The troll family is a bit like the Bennets, except they live in a cave and proba…

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…

Kinda like the prince in The Light Princess?

I’m afraid I don’t have a character like this…yet.

Does anybody have any characters like this? 😎

What a beautiful and evocative metaphor!

also the adhd bit makes me think of how we decided that Scout canonically has adhd lolllll

wind charmer Jeremy would certainly be something but it actually really fits him tbh

Mellissa

“Can we go to the kitchen now? I’m hungry.” Mel pointed to the door that they had come in from, but it had now changed. It was wooden, and had sun bleached paint that was starting to peel. The bottom had an unused cat door and a few splashes of dried mud from the rain. Mel recognized it. It was the door into…[Read more]

I think the best part about writing this little story about him was the fact that he gave each troll princess a legit chance. XD

This is gold.

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

Ah, I see lol!

A sky ship is a cool idea. Oh oh oh, you can have a rope ladder by putting a normal ladder over a glass block. I’m not sur…

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…

I see he is typically not violent. That is good. Whenever Ari runs into people too much like himself things happen.

I am concerned and intrigued about his fingers.

Lumpy noses and cheese. Had he ever made a lumpy nose out of cheese?

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

You would be correct.

Hehehehehe… He’s an eligible bachelor. That has to be hilarious from his perspective. Is he aware of that, or oblivious? He’s obviously aware that he looks like his father.

Oh my gracious. I never even thought about this.…[Read more]

Yeaaah. I’ve been building a sky ship called the Zephyr. It’s a ship from a book I like to read. Right now it looks more like a floating building, but I plan to fix that later on lol. And I spawned a cat, and named after a typo my friend made. His…[Read more]

Yeah lol. Thank you!

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.

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?

Oof. The flu is no fun. I’m glad you’re feeling better.
