XD thanks! I’m taking Japanese rn. I put it through translate too just to make sure I did it right lol.
You do! I forgot about that! Oh that’s super cool! I always like when expressions relevant to history are worked into worldbuilding.

Well because we seem to have already chatted abt this I’ll try to share something new lol. I really like facial expressions in manga and anime, their just so hilarious lol, and I strive to create the situations in my book that would make my characters make those expressions XD It’s really fun too me and definitely a reason I…[Read more]

Awww I love these scenes!!! 💖
But that second one 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
As for your question about Riker and Leon…
I honestly don’t know if I could choose one over the other. They’re both incredibly diverse characters and I love both of them so much!! 💕 I love how their journey through pain, guilt, grief and anger brings…[Read more]

Eeeek girlie I forgot how much I love your charries 🤩🥰
Um ideas for Mira’s powers…honestly y’all already said what I had in mind 🙂 But if I think of something else I’ll let you know!!
I’m sorry that wasn’t very helpful 😅

Love those scenes you posted!

MineralizedWritings replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Oh, interesting question…
Well my kneejerk reaction is Riker because I feel so bad for him but honestly it’s got to be Leon.
Here’s a couple reasons why:
Leon feels realistic. He’s lost his spouse, been in the concentration camp, and now has to start over. It makes sense he might become a alcoholic.
Leon’s character arc…[Read more]

I would love some plotting help from you guys if you have the time! I’m thinking about starting one of my stories as a webtoon and I’m wanting to work out the kinks first.
I’m tagging you guys because it’s a lot darker than my other story and I didn’t think you would mind lol.
Basically, there’s a point that could be a…[Read more]

Lol this looks like fun, yall have some really good ones.
You know when you’re a writer when you can no longer fully enjoy mainstream movies… because you see through every plot hole.

Dylan’s family situation reminds me of Rapunzel, not going to lie. Sounds like an interesting dynamic to play with.
Hahaha come to think of it, it is similar in some ways😂 Yes for sure!!
Poor Adrian🥺 But great scenes girl, I love them 😍

I’m so sorry I’m just now responding! 😭 I was on vacation all week and the wifi was pretty terrible 😅
Okay so if it’s not too late I’ll add my charrie Dylan in.
Here’s Dylan’s description:
Appearance: He’s around 18/19 years old, he has dark hair, deep blue eyes, and tan skin.

Hmm Idk if I can explain it 🤣 it’s all in their backstory though, none of that happens over the actual story. It’s pretty much just for realism.
Tauren and Lesli were kinda brought together by their parents, and they’ve been neighbors. They are super different types of people, so I think it only makes sense that as they grow into…[Read more]

Hmm I’m not sure if this helps at all…
but for coming up with fun and games segments, Avatar the last airbender has been a great inspiration to me. The characters in that show are trying to save the world yet have so much fun. I think it’s often the little things where the characters shine the most, for instance the group…[Read more]

It’s so funny that I (and Loops now?) have a reputation of being fine with darkness 😂 Am I darker than the average person?
Ooh, okay, so is this female scientist going to have a redemption arc? Either I would assume that by reading from her POV, or I would assume she is only going to be an initial POV character as an intro to the world and s…[Read more]
Ooo I love this story idea.
So you’re asking if the scientist lady should be forced into the experiment in the first episode or in a later episode, right?
I agree it’s a great hook, but I guess it depends on how much world building and stuff you want to fit in before that happens to her. Maybe you want some time to show what her normal life loo…[Read more]
@loopylin
Thanks 🙂
@whalekeeper @loopy
Thank you guys so much for your feedback! Showing a bit of her normal life before could be a good idea…. hmmm I’ll think about it.
Lol, I can just tell. I can’t remember what it was loopy said a long time ago but somehow I knew. Oh, and when Whaley told me abt her dragon prince pfp she warned me abt…[Read more]
I’m…uh…intrigued already
a little dark, yes, but it can also show something beautiful if handled correctly. If you feel led to do this, then I say don’t shy away from it <3
I am loving those themes. I feel you there, girl…it really does sometimes feel like Christians don’t understand. My BFF has dealt with a lot of mental health, so she does understand, but I know what you mean <3
I absolutely love the idea.

The string of commenting on comments is maxed 😂
*Is probably more bothered by the darkness comment than I need to be* Most of my writing is composed of jokes and exaggerated candy metaphors! 😭 That stupid human Pokémon story will never leave me. Never.

@whalekeeper
Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know it would bug you! I just tagged you and loopy because I knew it wouldn’t disturb you, everyone has different tolerance levels. I didn’t mean to say you are a dark person 😂
Thanks!
And thank you for the prayers! <3
Lol are you infj too?
Btw how are you doing?
It’s okay 🤪 I think there are specific types of dark, and I lean into a different type than others do on here. Like for some reason a lot of people here don’t write or read dark humor? But tragic/tortured/abusive backstories are common and detailed. It’s a weird combination of preferences, and I have to admit I don’t identify with those prefere…[Read more]
Also I’m sorry if I sounded pushy over the whole darkness topic! 😖
@whalekeeper
I get that, maybe it does seem odd to other people. Dark humor is pretty much fine to me, Ig just depending on context like anything else.
I think on kp where the *line* stands seems odd because it’s largely dependent on religious beliefs vs some standard. Like, most of us here are not comfortable with ‘creepy’ stuff. For example,…[Read more]
@whalekeeper
That’s interesting. I analyze other people, but I also analyze myself to a further extent. I want to understand all the things my subconscious is hiding from me so I know exactly how I work XD

Riiight, so it’s a distinction between objectively bad things/creepy/bordering on dark magic. I’ve understood the magic issue to some extent, it’s just a lot of the in-between stuff that bothers me.
Side note, I was into Veggie Tales and Pixar 🙃

Ah, yes, the elusive subconscious 🤣
I’m almost definitely taking a gap year. Whenever I tell a well-to-do mom I’m not going to college right away, they’ll pause, and their eyes go glassy… it’s funny but intimidating because I’m not living up to expectations.

@whalekeeper
Ah, I see where some of the confusion is. I think the best way I can explain it is that for the majority of the people here, creepy isn’t a shade of dark, it’s an entirely other animal that isn’t ok. I’m not trying to say your doing something wrong, just some people won’t be on board. It’s something that for me changes with exposure.…[Read more]
@whalekeeper
Lol, that’s interesting. Well you should be proud for picking what works best for you, instead of doing the popular thing. You’re living up to your expectations, not theirs. Isn’t that important? 🙂
