Wait, what scene is this? Is this a scene where he almost dies in the middle of the story, or is this the end of his story?

What?! I wanna know!

I was going to say if it was his ending and you decided to bring him back, maybe he loses his connection to the wind permanently and that’s his punishment rather than dying. But idk if that…[Read more]

And I have been writing a bit! I finally finished the first draft of my WIP in June. I’m working on chapter 8 of draft two currently.

Congrats!! That sounds so fun. I love editing, personally, although maybe you don’t feel that way. What’s this WIP about? Have I heard about it before or is it a recent thing?

@rae

Yes, me literally killing Baron isn’t very cool, but the realization about the Elementals that resulted from it is cool!

I can see what you’re saying. It’s fun to come up with specific details, and have them seamlessly click in your head like that.

I do believe you’re just mentioning the chest compressions to pacify me, though.

Oh. Actuall…[Read more]

@rae

So maybe we – the labyrinth people – helped you realize Gabriel should be an older brother? :-p

Thank you! You probably know what it’s like to have a character who keeps stealing your attention. This little guy is my attention thief right now.

@rae

Little tangent to the conversation. I’m not sure if you’ve seen this new character art, since you’re not on the royal rp. And this is the art topic. So I’ll share! :]

This is the Moth Prince. He’s my fav and I’ve enjoyed writing about him recently. By recent, I mean the past six months or so.

@rae

If any of my guy charries were to be mistaken for a girl, honestly it’d be Baron rn. He’s very slender, and when his hair is long, it’s absolutely gorgeous!

I can see that. It’s funny to sometimes realize that a character is androgynous from someone else’s perspective. I have a few who are rather androgynous, but that’s because I have a bad…[Read more]

Sounds like it was a pretty fun rabbit trail to go down though.

Speaking of rabbit trails, I was going to tell you – I started reading about changelings in folklore, and it’s been argued that changelings were an explanation for special-needs kids. I think that idea is so interesting and sad.

@elishavet-pidyon

I grow sadder and more bitter just reading that lol.

He is searching the world for his people, but everyone died before he got there. I think anyone in that position would grow bitter after a while.

His story does have a lovely ending though, right? *squints through my ProtectionsquadTM Sunglasses*

I should hope so! I’ve tried t…[Read more]

@rae

In the early concepts of Gabriel’s story, the news reported that they thought the new Protector was a girl…Gabriel, upon hearing this, was positively both offended and amused.

Maybe the Protector role will be passed down to a girl someday, so I can see why people would speculate about that. But that probably made Gabriel question his app…[Read more]

@rae

After all, the life of a Protector can be a lonely one as you aren’t supposed to let many people close.

What is the reason for this?

Gabriel: “Yes. She loves me.” *He pauses, seeming to remember something and looks away slightly as if embarrased.*

Lucy: *Supportive, curious, and disgusted at the same time* *Doesn’t know what else to say* *G…[Read more]

@beth-torres

I think it’s interesting that Thumbelina keeps getting into unfortunate situations where she might have to marry someone she does not like. I wonder if the fairy tale is inspired by a societal problem from the time it was made up.

By the way, is your flu feeling better now? And are you doing any writing these days, or more focused…[Read more]

@power

Koshka is right, that sounds exactly like The Light Princess. *Nostalgia hits*

@rae

Cool little thing.

That’s… cool. Yeah, very cool. SO cool. 😐

Girl, I don’t think you know what the word cool means.

*Grabs Baron, ties an evacuation label around his neck, stuffs him into a train, and sends him a thousand miles away from your WIP*

@beth-torres

so that’s kind of cheating if it’s for a survival project lol.

Yeah, cheating is fine sometimes, but it’s satisfying to find other solutions when you’re building something in survival. My brothers keep telling me to cheat when I’m trying to find materials for something, but can’t find it, and I think that’s so unfun.

I started dyi…

@rae

Your thoughts make sense, don’t worry.

Instead of just fighting them like a soldier would, a Protector is meant to learn every type of monster, every strategy, every venom, every poison, every antidote. They are meant to study behaviors and take notes on them.  All in hopes of not only saving lives, but finding a way to stop the monsters fo…

I already have another change to that character chart. Moth’s love interest is canonical now so I should put “single, until [insert info]”

@elishavet-pidyon

Firstly, you just made me squeak in joy and turn my normal perch into a gollum-esq crouch. XD

*Crouches and squawks* RELATaBLE

Unfortunately for him, she’s a little boy crazy and loves the whole situation a little too much. He would not mind if it weren’t that she gets on his last nerve on purpose. He has to be chivilarous, so s…

Awww no. I don’t like emotional turmoil. I shall send you virtual cookie. *sends cookie*

I think I’m having dramatic mood swings today because every time someone has messaged me or posted in the past hour, I start laughing hysterically. Very different from how I was a few hours ago. XD *Munches on cookie*

Yeaaah. I’ve been build…

I changed some stuff from when I showed this to Loops. I keep forgetting things. You can see arrows of indecision…

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh, I didn’t see Wilhelm’s chart!! *Facepalm* Stupid inconsistent notifs.

Observations:

– I want to know who Wilhelm is betrothed to. What exactly is the dynamic here? Who is this girl?

– I somehow did not know he had golden hair. I pictured him as dark-haired this whole time. How dare I assume his hair color.

– It’s reall…[Read more]
