Andrew

New character design

The character’s name is Gabriel Mai.

@linus-smallprint you’re welcome!

@loopylin @the_lost-journal eyyyyy fellow Portal people

I still haven’t played it cause my computer is as potato as GLaDOS in the last half of the game but we’ve been watching a ton of playthroughs lol

I built him a Wheatley model out of Legos.

also help guys I accidentally got my brother really into the Portal games and now he’s writing “the cake is a lie” on his schoolwork

@highscribeofaetherium I totally understand.

yes he’s super cute lol, my parents just found him at a store while they were running errands and bought him for me and my brother cause they know we love fidgets

@keilah-h

yeah, it’s just a first draft, those are never, ever perfect. Some can get close to how the end story is, but there’s inevitably gonna have to be at least one scene you cut, one set of dialogue you rework, one characters whose role changes, etc.

Thanks, Keilah!

Chapter 27 out!

This chapter took an unexpected direction. I never thought I would be writing that sort of thing. *shivers* But then again, Andrew Perterson had something like it in his first Wingfeather book.

@linus-smallprint

Ah yes, now I get it.

People can’t just cheery pick verses.

@ellette-giselle

Now I’m just confused.

Good.

Philippians 4:13 is a verse people like to take out of context when they set their eyes on a goal, like win a sports game.

The point is that context is key, and by removing it, it can be easy to twist verses into excuses to do what we want. Like what Satan did when he tempted Jesus.

@whalekeeper

CEW == Crazy Editing Week?

I don’t have anything to edit right now, so don’t think I will join. But thank you for the invite!

@linus-smallprint

*blink*

Now I’m just confused.

@ellette-giselle

Well, as Philippians 4:13 says:

“I can do all things…” with a Bible verse taken out of context.

@linus-smallprint

I’ve encountered Karl’s in my day. Guys who can quote scripture up and down, but live in complete lies, yet they try to make it look like you’re the enemy.

@ellette-giselle

Though I do recall some villains in book 2 at least who tried to tempt Joseph by telling him that suffering wasn’t worth it. I just think Karl is more interesting because he has some understanding of Christianity, and has the potential to make a stronger argument.

@linus-smallprint

Yes, that was the Stiens

Hmm, interesting that you should say that………….  I agree that the villain on the inside is a fun twist. I like this too.

@ellette-giselle

“I was one of them,” Andreas said. “That one night when we were threatening you, you looked straight at me, and you said it wasn’t too late. I never forgot those words.”

Ah… Okay, I remember him.

Remind me… are the Steins the family Julian, Aelic, and Roland were staying with when Leon and Rolf caught up to them?

Ba…[Read more]

@theducktator

This is Squooshy.

His name is quite accurate.

We do not know what he is made of. He may or may not be radioactive. [not in reality lol]

He is friends with a small blue-tinted slinky. No one has the heart to tell him it’s a slinky and thus doesn’t have feelings.

@the_lost-journal

Yes, I would die for them.

@the_lost-journal

now, living for them, I would do. The not-courage thing only extends to dying. All those other things, maybe, but I wouldn’t exactly know if I were doing it for my family, for myself, for someone else, if you know what I mean…?
