@whalekeeper oh I just saw a picture of a robot playing it lol

@elishavet-pidyon

Aw, what a fine little gray lady <3 The colors look very natural.

@keilah-h

I didn’t know about the robots. I’ll have to look that up.

ngl I used to be really scared of its noise, it’s so weird. But now I kinda like it.

The moment I heard the noise, I was obsessed. I knew I had to incorporate the music and technology into some kind of magic system. 🤣 So here I am, spending much of my writing time looking for a…[Read more]

Yeah, it is pretty cool!! Almost nobody I talk to knows what it is, so I’m always explaining. XD Thank you for the names, by the way, Ruth and Kefa!

So how did they accidentally invent it?

Leon was a Russian inventor who was actually trying to invent devices for wartime. The instrument was…[Read more]

Random facts about theremins that I yoinked off Wikipedia (I think one is playing in the music I’m listening to right now! LOL, what a coincidence.):

• It’s named after its inventor, Leon Theremin.
• They used to be called Aetherphones.
• They were actually the result of research to make proximity sensors.
• The sound was once described as “a…

@whalekeeper You have a theremin???? That’s so cool!!!

ngl I used to be really scared of its noise, it’s so weird. But now I kinda like it. It’s used a bunch in the Loki soundtrack, which I think adds to the temporal thrill kinda aspect of the show.

@ellette-giselle

Happy Fourth!!!

@whalekeeper

Wow, I just watched a video of someone playing one and that is so cool.

@elishavet-pidyon awwww! She’s cute!

The branch looks okay in my eyes.

Impressive that you did that with watercolors!! I might show off my watercolor paintings later. My brother and I are doing a weekly watercolor class.

@ellette-giselle those are great quotes!!

@whalekeeper

That’s cool!

I want to name him Harvey…which is weird because I usually hate the name Harvey. Maybe your statement about Harvard had influenced me *shrug*

@ellette-giselle

Yes, I sympathized with him. Poor guy.

Yeah, I emailed you. 😅

@ellette-giselle

So does everyone else at the base know… you know.

@ellette-giselle

I love Michael. His explanation was believable and so sweet. 😢

Chapter 24

Hallie walked into school, gripping onto the straps of her backpack. Because of all that had gone on recently, she hadn’t gone to school for the past few days. But by Thursday, Mom declared it time to get back into the normal rhythm of life.

How can anything go b…[Read more]

@theshadow

Okay, I’m all caught up (also was gone for a while), and this is a really engaging story. I did feel sad when Tyler was gone, so good job there, and I like how everything is going.

Thank you so much!!

A few things, I’ve noticed you used something along the lines of “(Character’s name) hated…” to describe what they were feeling, so…

@ellette-giselle

I have read them. 🙂 I’ve just been gone at a friend’s for the past couple days and haven’t given myself time to respond.

I want to rant about theremins. >:3

A theremin is an electric instrument invented accidentally in the 1920s. It is played without any physical contact by the performer. Two antennas create electromagnetic fields, and the performer waves their hand around the antennas to manipulate pitch and volume.

Finding a theremin is hard because there…[Read more]

I’m reawakening this topic because I’m putting together a list of magic system questions for myself. (Felt like updating my world bible.) They will be posted here when I’m done!

@theducktator

Praying!
