Moth

“I am just looking for something to do with someone. This is a fun little mystery, but I would rather be with someone than go on an adventure by myself.”

Moth picked up the stick Ellis had dropped, which was a fine stick worth stealing. He twisted it idly like a baton. “I’ll follow you until you tell me I’m annoying.”
He might…[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!

I love those kinds of characters and have several.

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.

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

Lucille

Lucy started, looking from Mel to the door. It had changed without the rest of them noticing. The stains of mud on the door made it look as if it belonged outside, pulled from a backyard or a porch.

Food sounded good. Lucy’s heart felt tired, in a good way, but that meant her body was tired too. She was a l…[Read more]

“I’ll call him Paul… Junior.”

Lucy inwardly cringed so hard when Mel said that

You can join whenever you want to. :]

Moth

“Perhaps we have.”

There was always a little more land ahead to search, and Moth would search longer if he was the only one there. He would wander out of the grounds. But he was always too tempted to follow a trail after it faded. It was such a strange idea to think that he was tied to a boarding school now, of all thi…[Read more]

I like this concerned mom character.

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?

I guess it’s my turn to be a tease. I can’t tell you yet, because if I tell you, I’m gonna bury myself into it more and neglect what I actually *should* be working on. I will say this however, it’s at a point…[Read more]

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]

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

No, no they actually do bring him back to life. He’s alive, just a little bit in shock because of the wind loosing connection and how his heart stopped.

There’s actually a “cool” explanation behind what or who stopped his heart.

Oh. Actually, I have…

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.

Cool! Love that for her. (Except maybe I’m not supposed to love that for her, because it’s a tough job.)

By the time she takes over, the position is much easier thankfully!

She was begging Gabriel for *years* to let her go out fighting with him, and he finally let her and that was the end of him being able to keep her at home XD.…[Read more]

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]

But that probably made Gabriel question his appearance more than once.

Oh yes. The hair, and the way he covers up so much made them think that, plus originally he had a more slender frame.

Now in his story as it is currently, he works with a stone mason, so he doesn’t have lithe muscle anymore.

If any of my guy charries were to be…[Read more]

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]

What is the reason for this?

It started because the Protector isn’t under the government, and when the First Protector appeared, the government were rightfully wary of civilians trying to mess with strange monsters.

Then it continued as partly tradition and partly that when the Protector becomes the people’s hero, it’s best to keep…[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]

That’s… cool. Yeah, very cool. SO cool. 😐

Girl, I don’t think you know what the word cool means.

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

Btw, chest compressions save lives! Even in fiction.

*Grabs Baron, ties an eva…

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.

By the way, is your flu feeling better now? And are you doing any writing these days, or more focused…[Read more]

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.

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

So last night I wrote a scene that has been in my head where Baron’s heart literally stops. You probably all know how it goes where you write something, then add something to it that you weren’t planning on but somehow makes so much sense?

That was this.

In the scene, just before Baron dies, his connection to the wind snaps.…[Read more]

So it really is about passing down the knowledge from previous Protectors, not just becoming another fighter after the last one dies.

Yes. After a few decades, a Protector either becomes to old or too wounded to fight (we shall hope it’s the former for Gabriel) anymore, and that’s when they find their successor. They stay with that…[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.

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…

They aren’t going to survive long without that mysterious Protector, I’m guessing.

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.
