Hehe, magic

Barnes

For the first time since she had entered the maze, Barnes shivered. She touched the plaster wall, which looked out of place in the foliage, and traced the faint remainder of poster paper stuck to it.

“I know this wall,” she murmured to herself.

After a few minutes of aimless pacing, coming up to the…[Read more]

Barnes

When Gabriel turned away, Barnes took it as a sign that he wasn’t totally enthusiastic about guard duty. She crossed one of her arms over her chest. “Alright, then.”

She took a couple steps down the next passage, and ignored the rattling sounds from the hedges. Little blue plants on the maze floor reached up to…[Read more]

”Correct about… what?’ Barnes looked around.

Ignoring her words, Cassius already lay on the ground as he had before. Soon he was quiet and resting peacefully. It was like nothing had happened.

As Leander settled down as well, Barnes stared off into the maze again and tried to tune out. Her fingers twinged at th…[Read more]

“Pardon me for asking – hm.” Barnes hesitated. She absently shook the cigarette box in her pocket. “I’m having trouble understanding the suddenness of this. Wouldn’t you already know this? Have you never thought about your childhood or your father before?”

Barnes

Suddenly Cassius burst again. His weight shifted on the ground beside Barnes as he slumped over. His voice trembled.

How was Barnes supposed to react? The kid had made so many random declarations that this one could be just as short-lived.

“If you really are nineteen,” She said slowly, “I’m sorry for you. But you…[Read more]

Okay, sure. Anyone is welcome to help with the feedback portion even if they don’t want to participate in the writing.

@grcr

Great!

@hybridlore

Okay!

@highscribeofaetherium

Of course you will. You didn’t have a choice!

@rae

Sounds good!

An outline would be purely optional, and for anyone who does make one, i…[Read more]

Ah, it’s adorable! I love the leaves and the way his hair is and the clean lines of the mouth. The details and proportions fit together perfectly. I’m very glad you posted it. 😁

“You’re too young, and you seem against it anyway.” Barnes noted how Gabriel flinched when the cigarette burned. She put it down and crushed it on the stone. So much for a silent night watch. “How old are each of you?”

@rae

Have you ever given a charrie of yours a weird mannerism that you have yourself?

Generally speaking, I’m sure I have. I’m just not aware that they are weird mannerisms yet.

A few of my charries like to sleep in a fetal position, or curled up around a pushie or blanket. And Gabriel stretches similar to a cat. Mannerisms I sometimes hav…

“…I’m not smoking,” Barnes said. She still held it at arm’s length. “I only lit it for the scent.”

She glanced back at Cassius, then turned back to stare at the labyrinth passageways she guarded. The exposition about pleasure irked her, but she held her tongue. He meant well.

@rae @the_lost-journal

Barnes

“I don’t care. Whatever you like to do.” Barnes pulled out a box of cigarettes and lit one of them. Instead of taking a draw on it, she held it at a distance from them and let the smell waft through the air. “ Ah. If this bothers you, at least speak then.”

@rae

Great! The tube down my nose felt a little like an alien trying to take over my mind, and they fed me a tone of questionable green food. Next month, they want me to drink radioactive fluid. I low-key love hospital visits though because the smell of hospitals is so nostalgic.  I guess that’s not normal, but whatever. XD

@the_lost-journal @rae

Selfish because she keeps everything to herself XD

Barnes

Cassius and Leander, one after the other, lay down on the moss. Night had not fully fallen yet, and the other adventures in the labyrinth surely still walked around – but both boys seemed tired from the walk. Their emotional outbursts had not helped their energy…[Read more]

@rae

You should make a photo copy of the sketch and try out the colors you have in your mind on that, and if you like it, then go for it, but if not, you have the backup. That’s what I always do. I never color the original, I like to keep a backup. Plus, colored pencils tend to smear when mixed with graphite.

@whalekeeper

YES!!! DO!!!

@rae

Well, good luck!! And if it turns out badly, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad artist. <3

@rae

Yes, he’s flying around in the sky over the same yard Chase and Fel are approaching.

@rae

WOW!!!!!! So good! The expression!!!!!! That is SO Baron!! Yes, this is perfect!

@rae

Looks good! I say go for it if you’re deciding on a pose for coloring or something.

@rae that’s cool! That’s an impressive side profile. I’ve been struggling with those lately. I like the wind going through his hair.
