But I’m happy with that

And that’s exactly why some of my characters are just chill and happy. There’s nothing less deep about having an average backstory. I can think of some characters who are super shallow because the writer thought trauma equals character depth.

@hybridlore

Honestly I don’t know XD I told someone I wasn’t going to post the words I wrote because they were too depressing, and it kind of escalated from there.

@ellette-giselle

I would prove that the Lovedream children have darker pasts, but it’s not worth spoiling the whole thing unfortunately. XD My apologies. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

@ellette-giselle

I like it! A little Ender’s Game, a little something else. It’s giving dystopian. 💁‍♀️ I’m usually not sure how to react when people explain backstories since it’s out of context, but it sounds like pretty solid trauma, especially for a whole group of protagonists.

@hybridlore

Immaculate vibes. 👌

That’s pretty much how I picture Baron too. Powerful, but not the best teammate, at least for now.

@ellette-giselle

Whichever is worst, lol.

@rae
Alpha need a lot of perspective reorientation. Actually I have a close friend who once reacted to a puppy in a very similar way, haha 😝 He even used the word scrawny.
@ellette-giselle

*Sticks out my tongue at you* What is your most traumatized backstory then?

@ellette-giselle @loopylin

Okay, now it’s a challenge. Post what you wrote, and I can almost certainly top it.

Honestly, even writing down the bare facts of the backstory might be too graphic for people. It’s necessary because the end of the story is a reversal of the beginning, kind of like that flash fiction I posted a couple pages back.

@loopylin :(((((((((((((((((

Okay maybe I’ll post trauma some time. Also you should definitely give us more Fel and Lois. More. More.

@elishavet-pidyon

Aw, I won’t throw snowballs at you then. Truce.

@elishavet-pidyon

You have a very pretty writing style <3

@loopylin

Well, those almonds sure do taste good. ;]

XD Metaphors are funny when you continue them.

:(((

I caaan’t. All my Lovedream characters are severely traumatized and I’m not just talking ‘his parents died to typhoid’ or whatever.

They manage to function – even Hugo can act very normal, and honestly, good for him. *Pats him too hard on…[Read more]

@rae

Oohh okay. Well Hugo has a puppy hidden in the boys’ dorm, so a therapy dog does indeed exist in the Fantast School universe.

@theshadow

Is the snake magical or poisonous?

(Totally not just saying this to remind people they can write next)

@highscribeofaetherium

I’m a Wisconsinite. I’m immune to snow.

*Sighs dramatically, breath white* I used to be a Wisconsinite. I haven’t seen snow in over two years.

@grcr

Understandable :]

Felicity, Ellis, Baron/Brutus, Ben and Flare and heading into the city to save one of Felicity’s friends from capture.

Everyone else are either injured or contemplating where to go next. Jonas’ rebel NPC is leading.

Y’all better watch out when tagging me, I’ve got sixteen snowballs

Wait, make that eighteen snowballs.

@the_lost-journal

I’m going to decline for now, thank you!

@jonas @ellette-giselle @hybridlore @grcr

Okay, so the rest of Group 1 has to reach the river, right?
