Behold! The Shadow Bloom Shard!

Doom! DOOM!!!

BWAHAHAHA!!! 🦹‍♂️

Plant of pain, coal of chaos, the splinter sinister. . . Gaze upon its gloomy GLORY!!!!

Okay, now all I need is a hobbit and a volcano. 😸😼

@power

Black iris.

XD

Although, it’s more partially black, partially a velvety dark brown.

I dont think there are any naturally black flowers either.

Apparently you also can’t have a green star.

It’s also important for black to be in a rainbow.

@c-l-speck

A black flames/rock that shines darkness/shadow.

It’s impossible for fire to be black.

Ari

The professor blinked once or twice and nodded regaly. “That is a question more suited to the philosophy masters, but you may be on to something. Science was once called the philosophy of nature.”

After another pause, the lecture recovered and staggered on. Ari hunched over his desk, elbows propped on the tabletop.…[Read more]

It’s a pleasure to make our acquaintance, I’m sure. We are his Royal Lowness, the l3lack Mongoose! 👑 May his goblet be ever full of chocolate milk, and may his enemies rest in pieces (That mean you giraffes! 🦒😾)

We extend our heartfelt welcome to the Kingdom, and hope you will do yourself the honor or coming to visit us in our…[Read more]

@c-l-speck

Are you sure it’s mongooses, and not monGEESE??

Um. . . That be a good question indeed (and a disturbing one.) The Worlds Greatest Mongoose Dictionary, written by your’s unruly, only states that, “The Mongoose is the greatest animal on this planet (and every planet.) They particularly like chocolate milk, dead snakes, and having h…[Read more]

@quicksilverwyvern

Awesome! It’s a wonderful little book. Hope you enjoy!

@elishavet-pidyon

Sounds like a good plan. I know it’s hard to find time to read during the semester. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. 😉

Interlibrary loans are some of the coolest things. It’s basically like a low-profile network of…[Read more]

Mothy…..0_0

Ari

The silence stretched thin. A boy three seats ahead elbowed his neighbor and glanced back at Moth with an amused smirk. Moth shrank a little further into himself.

Ari’s eyes went black. He locked gaze with the back of the boy’s head. Slowly, the boy turned to look. The color drained from his face.

@ellette-giselle

is this chef good or bad?

Hmmm…

Every time I start to like him, he gives me creeper feelings.

Good, good. Trust your feelings.

@whalekeeper

Just a note: in my head the kitchens are built kinda like a star, with specialized kitchens branching off from the main room where LeQoi can survey everyone’s work at much the same time, or go from kitchen to kitchen as he likes. And he will absolutely be checking in on Callum and teaching…just perhaps not is a perfectly normal…[Read more]

@maiden_moonlight

Like the toes Kavi, but something. . .     smells. . .

It’s your tootsies or mine, and I washed mine 2 month and 3 days ago, so I’m pretty sure it’s yours that are so well. . . seasoned.

I will say though, having at least socks can come in quite handy. . . literally!

Stinky sock puppets! 🧦

GASPPESSS!!!! IT’S ANOTHER ONE!!!! 🙀

Um. . .  Hi @c-l-speck . 😶

😵‍💫😜🥸

Did it work? 🫣

. . .Guess I’ll just have to get used to the fact that new folks are coming. . . and I can’t scare them off . . . *Sigh* 😿

SOoooOOOooOO. . .

I SHALL RECRUIT THEM TO JOIN THE MONGOOSE FAN CLUB!!!!
C.L. Speck you have always LOVED mongooses,…[Read more]

LeQoi

Fresh, sweet, and undeniably irresistible. The bread would do. A gracious flick of his fingers to the trembling kitchenmaid saw the basket of steaming challah whisked away back into the whir of luncheon preparation.

Now for another sampling. The master chef’s chocolate drop gaze landed on a boy standing six feet away. Ah y…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

GUYS. IT’S REMINGTON’S TWIN.

*Screaming intensifies*

You’ll be happy to know, Kavi, that the kitchen is enormous and filled with all the best foods. And lots of it.

The kitchens are also presided over by a questionable master chef named LeQoi. Which reminds me he hasn’t said much is some time…

@rae @whalekeeper @loopylin lol we started this up again one day before i leave on vacation and won’t have internet 😭 y’all can keep yapping i guess, my three will just continue to read comics

i’ll be back in two weeks though.

@whalekeeper @quicksilverwyvern @elishavet-pidyon

First week of November! It’s time for our book discussion question, but first I want to check in with y’all.

How are things going? Any troubles finding the book or finding time to read? Any thoughts or rabbit trails?

*Thoughtful humming*

Here’s the question: What are two bits of this book that…
