Melissa

Mel’s eyes got wider with each word Lucy said. She was honestly a bit jealous. “Wow. Only thing that tried eating me was the ground.” She glanced down as if it might try again, and pulled her feet up onto her mushroom, hugging her knees. “I doubt you taste very good. People I’ve bitten before were all salty and gross.”

@whalekeeper

Mel

“Thanks!” There was still dirt and food stuck in it, and large snarls from falling into the thorns. She grinned from ear to ear, delighted by the compliment.

She tried some tea from her cup, and realized it was lukewarm and not very tasty. She added a few scoops of sugar and stirred. “What kinda cool things have you found while…[Read more]

“Melissa Ann Thomson. I’m almost nine.”

Welp, according to Professor Google (🤓) fella, short for fellow, comes from words meaning “partner”, “comrade” or “one who shares in a joint adventure”. So, even though we tend to use it in a masculine sense, etymologically speaking it may be neutral. . . which is rather weird.

Maybe felless, like chapess? 🫤🤣

Mel

“Yeah. They’re good.” Mel pushed the tray towards her. She wrinkled her nose at the remaining cucumber sandwich and pushed that back towards her too. She pointed across the table. “Can you pass some of that orange jelly?”

“It’s marmalade.”

“Who?”

Lucy passed the jar over. Mel spread some of the stuff on a cracker and tried i…[Read more]

Mel grinned and waved her hand in a welcoming gesture. “Then come sit down!” She retrieved a mostly clean cup and saucer from the ground and poured some tea for herself and her friend. Then she loaded her plate up with lemon bars and different kinds of crackers and cheese. Lucy joined her. Between bites, Mel began to tal…[Read more]

Mel the Fearless

“Hehe, milk doesn’t have livers.”

Mel sat down in the middle of the wreckage and set to picking pastry out of her hair. There was a large bruise forming on her chin, but she was smiling. She eyed the bit of food that hadn’t already been smashed or thrown on the floor. “Are you hungry?”

@elishavet-pidyon @koshka

Bastille, thanks.

@ellette-giselle

I am sorry. It would appear that in my picking, I pulled a scab.

If we ever meet, feel free to have one of your brothers punch me.

@koshka

Oooo hot chocolate! *sips gratefully*

Lol, sorry. Didn’t mean to make it awkward.

@ellette-giselle

Nothing wrong with being uncomfortable with certain jokes or defending your brothers, but I don’t think it’s fair to accuse him of “taking dirty shots” when he was making a simple joke. It’s better to assume the best of intentions with people when interacting online.

@ellette-giselle Power was just teasing and making a joke from what I could tell lol

@elishavet-pidyon

I did end up finishing it.

I love the concept and layout. I changed his eyes, and now I can kinda see him. The coloring is amateur though, I have pieces where I did much better.

I wonder what the other characters will think when they find an even smaller little girl with Lucy

Melissa

“Yeah! Get ‘em Luce!” Mel cheered while brushing a bit of dirt off her chin. When the fawn ran off into the bushes, her jaw dropped. “Hey, they’re just a buncha critters!” She turned and shoved the nearest person off their mushroom seat. It was a thin boy with pointed features and a high pitched laugh. His laugh turned in…[Read more]
