Trahia the Minstrel

@freed_and_redeemed oooh I loved his character in the book! I’ll be participating in this one!

@theshadow same.

@koshka

Once most girls start to fight, they don’t care what it takes to win.

Hah, you just described my charrie Huntress. Good thing too. I was worried I’d made her a little too masculine when fighting, but now I see I don’t have to completely trash those scenes, just edit them a bit.

@whalekeeper CHARRIE TEAMS YESSSSSSS

The Guardians of the Galaxy. The Bad Batch (technically they’re a ragtag group of misfits if you really think about it). Team Fortress (I won’t talk about them much here, but it doesn’t change the fact that they completely fit the description). The Dragonets of Destiny from Wings of Fire (again, won’t talk…[Read more]

yeah, I’m agreeing with @esther-c on this one.

it’s ok to mess around with the “societal norms” as long as you’re not messing with the Biblical roles. That second one’s kinda the whole problem with people these days who believe they can switch between the two (or that there’s a myriad of genders rather than simply two predesigned ones). That’s…[Read more]

I love how that soldier–Adrian, I think?–wants to learn more about Aaron’s beliefs after he saw how brave he was before dying.

The fact that you have a story where the main character dies and the POV switches is nice for me too, because I have a story idea where something like that happens and now I have an idea of what to do.

@theshadow Right now it’s going terribly lol, but at least it’s kinda going….

also, would you mind if I gave you a little challenge concerning my writing??

nobody I’ve asked has said yes to this, and I’m sure you won’t either, but you’re one of the like 5 people I have shared this story with so……

@smiley oh cool!! there are graphic novels?

@ellette-giselle UM YEAH I wanna keep reading!!! Especially after all that!!!

also love the cover.

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle wowww those are so cool!!

and you’re welcome! I’m almost finished with my tenth book. It’s a picture book, so not much in the way of like drafting and writing and stuff.

@ellette-giselle Not likely with me, usually. If I don’t like something, I’m quite vocal about it.

You should see me yelling at the screen while playing Minecraft or something and my creatures aren’t going where I want them.

also congratulations on the book you published!

@ellette-giselle lolllll

I mean, if I don’t have anything to say, that means it must be good, right????

@smiley ohhhh my friends used to read those a lot! I recognize it, though I never read it myself.

@ellette-giselle yeah it’s so much more reasonable when you have context and the proper meaning of the word is used (I’m sure you know all about the newspeak dilemma where people, especially important people, use one word when they really mean something else, in order to control or to convince others to do something they normally wouldn’t). I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle wowwwww! I don’t know what to say. Will he die? will he live?? I must know!!!

also, a good idea would probably be to separate the writing in his letters out with an indent or with centered text as opposed to the normal look:

After some time, Aaron took up the quill and began to write, unsteadily at first, but growing…

@smiley that was funny, who are the non-marvel characters again?

all that to say, I really don’t like the damsel in distress trope cause it implies that being “in distress” is all the character’s good for.

@ellette-giselle ok but HOW is a damsel in distress cool??

The whole “in distress” thing, from what I’ve seen, has kinda been turned into “I am a pansy and will faint or something at the very sight of blood or even a grasshopper.”

I really don’t think every female character should be the “rarrrr I’m a warrior and you can’t say no to that” kind…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle haha Rory’s in for a surprise if he thinks Hunter and the gang aren’t soldiers.

@calyhuge I think I said Hunter was 12 earlier, but apparently I made a mistake and he’s actually 13. Sorry everyone else! lol

@koshka @loopylin
