So the queen is an immortal jellyfish? Like the actual species?

Her design is more based off the pacific sea nettle, but I decided that the ability to reverse their ages for Cnidfolk is more like a gift than limited to a certain bloodline

Gabriel: *Pushing her hand back an inch* I bet you will.

I wrote half a paragraph.

Better than nothin

:45

Looks very important, perhaps aristocratic,

Interesting. They’re often considered nobility actually. The one in the drawing herself is a queen who has reversed her age so many times she has extended her lifespan beyond what should be possible even for her kind. Yes, I have worldbuilding already XD.

That would make sense. I’m very familiar with my house and it also has a lot of furniture and items, not to mention tile floors that probably make it easier for me to get my bearings. I should try wearing an eyepatch in public then I think. The experiment would be worth the risk explaining to people why on earth I’d be wearing an…[Read more]

Long time no see.

Whaley’s 100% right LOL. I would say in some respects art is harder than writing because at least in writing you have to actually read it to cringe at all the problems, for art you just glance and want to burn it XD.

But hey, I love it when people still give it a shot because it’s a challenge.

I can’t…[Read more]

Calmest reaction XD

Gabriel: *Shrugs* What do you think?

 Although it may sound like it when I talk about some characters.

This not only happens to me with characters but also with real guys as well 💀. I have a friend who has reached “playful banter” status and I was talking about a gag gift I was going to give him (he loved it btw) and someone asked if I liked him. I told them we…[Read more]

Still figuring that out fully, but I think the main problem is he’s been in my spotlight too long.

@whalekeeper

Yes it is. It’s a concept idea currently.

Gabriel: Maybe you’re superhuman.

@whalekeeper

if I do do this, guess who’s gonna be in it hehe.

@grcr

Very nice! They all look squished or bewildered lol.

Not much has been going on my end. This is my first season of rowing where I can fully push myself, and one of my coaches wants me to go to Nationals. I don’t think I’ll make it, but it’s nice he thinks I can honestly. I made captain though on the crew, and honestly I was already doing a lot of the captain duties so…[Read more]

I did compile it on Spotify but you’re right, I have yet to listen to the full thing. Though I can already tell you, being familiar with the song, that Ezio’s Family has a nice tone for Gabriel.

Gabriel: *chuckles, putting his arm down* Okay. *Proceeding to let her win.*

Funnily enough, I used to do this with my Dad. I’d flop…[Read more]

Anyways, this happened

Ellis

Ellis went first. He cocked an arrow and raised his bow, desperately thinking back to the few lessons he had years before. He drew the bow and released it. The arrow managed to hit the target, but just barely. At least he hadn’t accidentally shot Ari.

Lucian

Lucian seemed to consider this. He continued brushing his horse, not looking over at her.

“No,” he decided after a moment’s pause. “I’m nice.” He finished brushing, gave Onyx’s snout an affectionate pat, and then tossed the brush back.

Ellis

He shook his head. “I haven’t done archery in a long while. You may need to teach me as well.”

Lucian

“You’ve never worked for nobility before, have you?” Lucian said. He did what she wanted anyway, feeling mildly amused. Onyx didn’t seem to understand what he was doing at first and pulled her head away, but after some gentle coaxing under his breath, he was able to get her to stay still.

Lucian

Lucian caught the brush reflexively letting his apple fall and roll across the floor. He looked at it and then over at George, raising one eyebrow.

Lucian

Lucian smiled at the informality. At home it would have bothered him, but here it was a sort of relief, not being recognized.

“Lucian.” It felt odd leaving out the full title. “What’s yours?”

Lucian

“I’m not interesting.” Lucian pulled another apple out of his pocket and began polishing it with his sleeve. Onyx eyed it jealously. “But animals usually seem to like me anyways.” He watched the cat as it found a sunny spot to sit down. “What sort of cat is it? I haven’t seen one that big before.”

Lucian

“…Hello,” he said quietly to the cat. He hesitated a long moment, wrestling with his own self-consciousness, then crouched down to pet it. The cat was friendly, and leaned into the strokes. Eventually it got bored though, and slunk out of his reach, but still hovered in the same area. He stood again and attempted to bru…[Read more]

@beth-torres

Jack

“Two. A brother and a sister.” He snapped the book shut with one hand and put it back on the shelf. “You?”

I know. *hands you wrinkle cream*

HA

I also have not been to college because I am extremely academically burnt out, but I’m glad I seem like someone who possibly has. (Going to ignore the old person comment.)

Sorry I can’t be helpful. Wishing you luck on your academic endeavors 👍

I’m left out! *sulks*

Awww cutee!

Lucian now has brown hair because I can’t stop imagining him like that so I might as well change it.

@whalekeeper

Lucian

When he heard the voice, he immediately straightened his posture and wiped some apple juice off of his lip with his thumb. A girl stood there, with a broom and a bucket sitting next to her. He stepped out of…[Read more]

but also working on Leon and Riker’s 3rd book🤭🤫

*Screams*!!!!!

I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! This is going to be so cool! I have waited so long for this!!!!!!

I wrote one of those types a little while ago. The nicknames and insul…[Read more]

idk who to tag @rae @whalekeeper @keilah-h

(Also, feel free to use this topic to post your own art challenges)

Oh

the roleplay gods (aka Loops)

why am I multiple

@whalekeeper

taking this opportunity two days too late :] (I don’t remember what I have already shown you)

These songs might change as I develop the story more, but here:

Jack

“Folktales. Old stories. From someplace I’m not familiar with. I love reading these kinds of books to my younger siblings.” He flipped the book open, turning pages randomly, until he paused on a page with an illustration of a villainous wolf. It stared up at him hungrily from the page. “They’re full of monsters and magic and…[Read more]

As his frustration simmered down, Lucian realized he hadn’t been paying attention to where his feet were taking him. He paused, turning around to orient himself. He didn’t want to go back inside just yet. Learning and research could wait. If he remembered the map of the school correctly, he wasn’t too far from the stables. He began walking…[Read more]

I tried typing Moth and it autocorrected to Mother and I almost started laughing very loudly to myself in public

Ellis

Ellis gave Moth a warning glance, eyes slightly wider. He felt it would be better to forget that the past ten minutes had ever happened. He looked at Ari again. “You’re going to do archery now?”

Obviously this kid could see, but how could he be observant with his hair over his eyes?

Hey, you’re not supposed to question things. It’s because, uh… it’s just anime logic, okay? XD idk this character is old

Jack

“Alright, keep your secrets.” Jack wandered over to another shelf and pulled down a book. It was titled ‘German F…[Read more]

Hello! Good to see you back! That illustrating gig sounds like fun. I would love to hear about it when it’s published. Your art style is perfect book illustrations.

I have been busy myself working full time and trying to stay healthy and not burn out. I’ve been somewhat consistent with writing daily which I’m excited about.…[Read more]

Hey, it’s a perfectly reasonable question from Ellis. I’m sure there are plenty of princes in the school in the same position.

Ellis

“We were dueling.” Ellis jumped onto the change of subject quickly. “Moth won. He is very quick with a rapier.”

Ellis

“Family…” Ellis chewed on his lip for a moment as his mind worked. “Are you in competition for your kingdom’s throne?”

He wasn’t sure what a mood was or why it would be damapened,

Me, constantly switching between formal ways of speaking and a more causal, modern way of speaking: I don’t know what I’m doingggg

I also vote Reynen if you are looking for input, but they all seem cool :]

Jack

The academy library was located in one of the school building’s towers. It was huge, covering two entire floors. There were writing desks, window sill reading nooks, and, of course, books. Plenty of books.

Jack took his time admiring everything. He…[Read more]

“I don’t know. It was dark.” There was a twinge of pain behind his eyes. He closed them for a moment. Ari’s questions were a bit annoying. Ellis was used to everyone at home already knowing about his gift. Explaining was going to start getting repetitive. “I saw it in a vision. About five minutes ago. Sorry to dampen the mood.”
