I’m tagging a bunch of you. Firstly, I doubt you will be offended, and secondly, I have free will. (You may ignore, of course.)

A lot of you write or read about fantastical…[Read more]

I got some guinea pigs yesterday. :] Does anyone have any name suggestions? They’re both boys.

Great!

Your colors are great!! Your practicing has really payed off.

That is so cool. You did an amazing job.

Is anyone…[Read more]

Lol! Yeah, my friend interrupted my stuttering explanation of this character (an elven prince who risks his life to sneak a little girl to his dad so she can be fostered in safety… Then proceeds to spend the rest of his “immortal” life looking after her.) with the words, “So, he’s attractive?”

I stopped mid sentence, mouth open,…[Read more]

Sorry for the ridiculously delayed response

Lucille

Lucy picked up the first book that interested her. It had a sketch of a man in a black mask. Batman. The name was strange and kind of silly, but she could ignore that.

In the first panel, he was a strong, dark figure, hunched over in a panel drenched with inked rain.…[Read more]

I decided the men of Cnidfolk especially are even more rare than the women mainly to avoid this question a little better. I do have a drawing I did for a thing on Unvale that i don’t like so much now that depicts a guy that could be used as a concept.

ahhh makes sense.

Lucy: *Tries harder and manages to push their hands back into a tie*

Lucy: *Pushes as hard as she can, arm shaking, slowly losing inch by inch* *The more she loses, the more her eyes blaze with excitement*

Although, what do the guys look like of this species? Do they also look like they’ve got dresses? or are they more like some other related species?

So the queen is an immortal jellyfish? Like the actual species?

Lucy: “Yeah. But don’t be fast. You have to let me practice. I’m going to beat you when I’m grown up.”

It would be cool to have a jellyfish merfolk puppet on strings.

From what I understand, you do lose depth perception because that’s just how our eyes are wired. But your brain is really good at reconstructing some of that depth perception through any visual clues it can get. Obviously your brain can tell something is farther away from something else if it’s behind it. So to you, it looks the same as if…[Read more]

Still figuring that out fully, but I think the main problem is he’s been in my spotlight too long.

lol by this you mean he’s been in the spotlight for a while so you’re coming up with new ways to mess with him?

i do that too haha. I’ve managed to spare my original characters but my fandom ones, well….You can see an obvious difference i…[Read more]

The blue fellow in my pfp named Ari. He’s playful, extroverted, lighthearted, kind, funny, a wind elemental, and has white hair. Basically hit all my weak spots. I couldn’t survive.

I can’t help but picture Ari from the academy roleplay, but if he was a faerie like Moth, had the opposite personality, and was blue as Loops likes to cla…[Read more]

Calmest reaction XD

Hey, I’m just trying to lighten the mood. Merlin is already used to his disability so he can show Baron the ropes.

Lucy: *Grabs his hand and repositions them* “You’re a big fat liar. And you’re not even a good liar. At least make it hard for me.”

@freed_and_redeemed

Art isn’t easy, that’s for sure. For every good…[Read more]

Cool. Now he and my Merlin can be friends because they both have eye patches.

Lucy: “Either that, or you are a weakling, or you are a big liar.”

Isn’t that Baron?

Lucy: *Eyes narrow* “Are you a weakling?”

I’ve gotten to the point where I can give my dad a run for his money. But that’s because he’s more of the scholarly type. (No offense, Dad.)

I don’t know what counts as a fictional crush. I can judge a character by saying “that’s a good ‘un’ or ‘that one is meh.’ Who is yours?

@elishavet-pidyon

(As I learned when trying to describe one from a friend’s story to a different, uninitiated friend. The amount of gleefull whimpering had her laughing at me.)

Oh that’s relatable.

Glad to hear it went well! May thy educational pursuits be fabulous.

@rae

Lol! Congratulations. XD

I don’t think I actually have/had a fictional crush… Although it may sound like it when I talk about some characters. (As I learned when trying to describe one from a friend’s story to a different, uninitiated friend. The amount…[Read more]

except i’m the inverse and would die if he DID like me back. I would probably actually prefer it if he didn’t lol

idk who to tag @rae @whalekeeper @keilah-h

(Also, feel free to use this topic to post your own art challenges)

Gabriel: *Looks at her and smiles* I haven’t forgotten you. Would you like to go fishing?

Lu: *Glances at the girlfriend, then back at Gabriel* “It… It looks like you’ve already gone fishing.”

I can’t even… XDXD This made me laugh, especially when I went back for more context hehe.

@rae

Lu: *Leads him to a table and props up her right arm* “You’re not allowed to cheat. You have to use proper technique, okay?”

Lu: “I want to arm-wrestle.”

Thank youuu! 😊

if you poke him, he turns into liquid

lollllll

also yeah i get what you mean

If anything out of the three Soldier is actually the one that would think putting someone in a dress would be funny. Sniper would stab you if you got close with anything of the type lol, he’d honestly rather wear rags (if you r…[Read more]

Lu: *Glances at the girlfriend, then back at Gabriel* “It… It looks like you’ve already gone fishing.”

(Late reply, sorry. School.)

Lu: *Gives them the whale eye treatment* *Long silence* “Hey, um… There’s a child in the room.”

Huntress

Mel giggled as she offered up the comics for Lucy and the rest of us to borrow.  “Mom and Dad are gonna be so surprised when they come home and see you guys.”

I wondered if she knew that this was just an illusion, that her mom and dad probably weren’t here.

Or was it?

I fingered the pages of the comic book…[Read more]

Aww Gabriel! You know both girls would be so eager to teach you or read out loud to you if they knew <3

Mel

“You can borrow some of mine if you want!” Mel pushed a pile of comic books across the floor towards Lucy. She looked happily around at all her new friends. Then she giggled. “Mom and Dad are gonna be so surprised when they come home and see you guys.”

Lucille

Lucy stared at everything. Mel’s home didn’t look anything like hers, but most of the objects had some familiarity to them. They looked almost normal but made with weird shapes, colors, or with parts Lucy didn’t recognize. The television didn’t even look like a television – it was just a black square. State-of-the…[Read more]

Sniper

Mel handed three cheese sticks to Soldier, who ate ’em as ravenously as he did the first. She pointed out the various furnishings; I held back a chuckle as I realized she probably thought we weren’t familiar with all of it. (I don’t know…[Read more]

We can do some weird stuff in that rp, and I’m here for it!

Yeah I’m thinking about it! The other option is also fun because it would cause Gabriel severe emotional damage as well.

Honestly, that’d be a pairing I’d approve of!

Maybe they will meet in another roleplay some day.

Does she know about sirens?

She’s not much of a fantasy reade…[Read more]

Mel

Mel giggled. “You guys are all eating them wrong.”

She handed Lucy a cheese stick, and then Soldier three more. Then she held her own cheese stick up in the air like a baton.

“Tour time! Come on.”

She began wandering around the kitchen and living room, pointing out various things she considered importa…[Read more]

Huh. Interesting.

Guess away and win a prize. But only if you don’t know what it is already.

I’d imagine she would have come along in the RP as well by now if he had met her, in the form of his internal thoughts wondering if she was okay.

This is sometimes a limitation – choosing where they are in their own story when you por…[Read more]

*Lu runs away screaming bloody murder*

Why did I laugh so hard at that

@rae Sniper would be like “wait, you LET your girl do this to you???” bro would be halfway across the planet by now if someone tried to make him do that (Huntress probably wouldn’t have such an idea on her own, but if she and Scout were together and scheming…[Read more]

I have some time to decide, as in my head Gabriel refers to her as “Bwerdy” or “Birdie” right now.

Aww. That’s slightly similar to Lu’s pet nickname, which somehow hasn’t appeared in the rp yet. I’d give you a free drawing if you could guess it, but I doubt you could. XD

She isn’t going to be exactly like Lucy, by any means (especially appea…

I don’t hate mozzarella (I actually kinda like it) but that is a very accurate description of a cheese stick. I don’t like my cheese too slimy, luckily cheese sticks aren’t usually like that (at least not the brand my mom buys) but fresh mozzarella used on pizza typically is so I hold off on eating that until it’s shredded and the outer…[Read more]

Soldier

“Do you guys want a cheese stick?” Mel asked.

I stopped looking through a stack of paper on the table (it was a boring stack of paper anyway) and looked up. “Cheese stick?” I repeated. “Where?”

She gently pressed one into my palm. I bit it in half. Delicious. All too soon it was gone.

I shoved through the…[Read more]

Mel

The kitchen was small, with vinyl flooring and fake marble countertops. It was connected to the living room by a large doorway. In the living room was a couch, an armchair, a bookshelf, and a tv. Toys and comic books were scattered around on the carpet. Some were forced into the living room as the group crowded…[Read more]

KP no longer tags me, so I just have to think of checking.

I LOVE THAT IDEA!!! You could make that scene SO COOL!

in the end I decided not to bring it up lol

Did that leave you with more questions or answer some?

That answers enough questions. Although I guess I have one more. Is all this worldbuilding and character stuff new? I’m curious to know how the novella is coming along, what with this recent disclosing of information.

@loopylin @keilah-h

Yeah, it’s cool how many different ways the…[Read more]
