FIREQUACKER

@jonas

It sounds like a super fun idea! I don’t know if I’ll participate this time, though, since I’m kind of in the middle of my WIP and already have some people critiquing it. Thanks for the invite! Oh, and like Ellette said, if you happen to need some outsiders to force help people get writing, I could probably do that! 😁

@jonas

I’d be willing to give it a shot. I need to start actually writing again so this could help.

@esther-c

Hiiii Esther! I just saw this!!!
I have a critique for Easton’s character arc.

You’ve been having him do all these things for Tyler, and having him trying to encourage Tyler.

Do you mean to have him come off as kind of distant and cold? like Shadow said, he feels really impersonal.

What I mean is, in your book are you trying to show…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I never color the original, I like to keep a backup.

That’s the true advice.

YES!!! DO!!!

I’ll see to finishing it when I get home, then. XD

@theducktator

(Going back to your character)

My father and I have had multiple pitched arguments about topics that I do not recall, but marriage is the only continuing one at the moment. I am however, a bit concerned about several of his affairs that are potentially traitorous and scandalous, but I fear what he would do if he learned that I knew…

I have a drawing of young Barnes and I might post it tomorrow or something.

@rae

Well, good luck!! And if it turns out badly, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad artist. <3

@mineralizedwritings
My mum says they’ll probably numb me, but that isn’t the same as anesthesia. I guess we’ll see. 😅

Why does it look like my post didn’t come through?

The Protector—Gabriel

“Yes, my birthmarks aren’t a mental illness, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t hate me, or judge me. If I was not the Protector, if I didn’t wear the mask, if I didn’t hide the birthmarks, I would have been killed by the people I protect everyday.” Gabriel clears his throat again, v…[Read more]

@rae

Yes, he’s flying around in the sky over the same yard Chase and Fel are approaching.

@whalekeeper

Is Marcel here? Because if he is, he might get pelted with apologies from Chase

I love how Barnes avoids the question, and then both Cassius and Gabriel give full paragraphs about why they wear their masks. It cracks me up so much. 🤣

@loopylin @ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Well, I guess it’s a go for finalizing the sketch and then coloring it. I have a few coloring choices I’m deciding on. I might add a starry backdrop, and make his hair silver, or just do like it’s daytime. That’s why the top part of the page is devoid of anything at the moment.

Tbh, after an experience…[Read more]

The Protector—Gabriel

“So it wasn’t a flippant reason after all. That’s surprising.” Gabriel’s voice sounds young again. His hand moves towards his own mask, hesitates, then slightly dislodges it. A small sliver of skin showing a small cluster of strange birthmarks on his jaw, could be seen. He shows them to C…[Read more]

Where were we… oh okay, I missed the last thing

To be clear, they are not much like me in any other way, and vice versa. Which I am very glad for. I try not to overidentify.

@loopylin

🤣 I love that. Ellie is relatable, especially with the over-sensitivity.

I’d say identifying with my characters happens with me as well, but lots of the time the traits are negative thought patterns I need to grow out of. The only cases where I can identify with actual mental conditions the characters have are Marcel, Lucille, and S…[Read more]

@theducktator

*stares back* So you’re ugly then.

[Barnes laughs]

*peers back at meme topic* Have you ever had a stranger ask you on a date?

“Yes. Multiple times. Maybe that counts as a response to your previous point.”
