Wilhelm

It took an inordinate amount of control to keep his face neutral. Did you and to come all this way just to find someone on your level? But there are so many just like you in this world.

“You must have arrived late.” Jasper indicated an empty chair not a foot away. “Dessert’s still on the table, if you want it.”

Wilhelm loo…[Read more]

I haven’t written for this in so long… loops I feel like the crow in your pfp.

Flax toys with the buttered bread on his plate. Roughly half of the plate had been eaten, yet a dull ache still throbbed in the pit of his stomach. The tables noise had only gotten worse, and a by glance out the tall arched windows of the…[Read more]

Lois

“Yes. My mother and father and baby sister.” The way he had framed the question seemed a bit odd to Lois. “Don’t you have one?” he asked, slightly worried.

@whalekeeper

Hear, hear!

Wilhelm

Firstborn. That probably meant he had birthright privileges. Such trivial matters could not touch the gulf of rank between them, either widening or narrowing it. Wilhelm nodded politely but shrugged mentally.

At least “High Commander” sounded like an active role, unlike the lazybones titles some people used.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

REMINGTON. NOOOO. XD

Wilhelm

For a moment, he was too overcome with horror to do anything more than resist Remington’s barbaric friendliness. If Wilhelm had been a cat, his tail would have dwarfed all former levels of panic, and his claws would be making inroads into the marble floor.

“Nein, nein, nein.” He hissed under his…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

*helpless dolphin noises* I love this.

Wilhelm

Remington. Lacreux. Lacough. Lacoo. Just Remington, Remington, Remington. Wilhelm nodded vaguely.

“Don’t worry.” Remington went on, beaming benevolence. “Just because you don’t know what a soufflé is, doesn’t mean you won’t be accepted by high society.”

A pause. Wilhelm trapped an…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lolll. Very smooth, Marcel.

If Reúven hadn’t been already thinking in a serious line of thought, he’d probably have reacted much the same way. Just, not so unobtrusively. XD Marcel is awesome.

@whalekeeper

Thanks. 😁

Wilhelm

Was this boy a lunatic? Wilhelm tried to draw his dagger, deeply regretting that his more impressive weapons were in his room, but the stranger kept dragging him on too quickly for Wilhelm to coordinate his own movements. That might have been for the best, he remembered after a minute. Knifes usually escalated…[Read more]

Mel

Mel’s excited laughter turned into a startled shriek as something flew up beside them.

“Hello children!”

Momentarily distracted from the bread, Runt nipped at the bird man’s tail feathers, causing him to scream as well. In the chaos, Mel tried to grab the fishing pole bait from Lucy to steer them away from th…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Remington sounds fun. I am probably too tired to be doing this but here goes lol.

Wilhelm

“I…” He swallowed back whatever words were forming on his tongue. The stranger was an impressive figure, cheerful and domineering. His eyes almost glowed in their intense suavety. Wilhelm squared his shoulders. “Then what should I say?…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lois

“I suppose so.” Lois tilted his head slightly to the side. He hadn’t really thought about it before. “It’s… Well, I don’t have anywhere else to compare it to, do I? I’m content.” He adjusted his glasses and politely asked Moth where he was from in an attempt to keep himself from slipping into a thoughtful silence.

Soldier (haven’t written anything from his pov in a while so we’ll see how this goes)

We’d been wandering for a LONG time. Way too long!

After waking up and crossing the lake we’d found ourselves in a maze of hedges. Very boxed in. I didn’t like it! I was supposed to be FREE!

Something swooped far overhead. A crow!…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ah! Yes, poor thing.

I can bring him into the food area if I need to. I think he’s very lost at the moment.

@whalekeeper

Mel

Mel climbed up without asking Runt’s permission. She found a spot next to his shoulder and held gently onto his feathers. At first the crow was confused, and stumbled around in a circle, trying to spot the little girl. She leaned her head out into his field of vision and he made a playfully surprised squawk.

Lucy climbed up w…[Read more]

@koshka @whalekeeper @elishavet-pidyon HIII!!! Omg it feels like forever (I guess it has been lol!)

so good to hear about your works!!

Elishavet- yup! It’s the first destined book! And it’s just like the first draft I’ve ever truly “finished” like there are still scenes needing to be added and stuff, but it’s mostly cohesive.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Portals: When My Story Ate Me. The serial story I’ve semi-periodically shared on here. I should work on HoA(Viktor’s story), but I have zero motivation for that one. They’re just sitting in a friend’s shop at the moment waiting for their parents to find them. Portals is a more manageable size, so little bites first.

@whalekeeper

I love collecting ideas from novels published between from the 1910s-50s. Mostly 40s and 50s. I keep notes from them in a notebook and I’ve done this for months; it’s a lot of fun. I often collect dialogue because there’s something very identifiable about fictional dialogue from that time.

Oh, I like this idea. That is epic. I’ve n…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

This probably isn’t even a wolf-focused story, but I’ll guess The Wolf Wilder because I want you to look it up and read it. It’s so good.

This is precisely why I picked vague quotes. Need good book recommendations. XD

Hmm, looks like you got a few right. I shall refrain from sharing answers for a day in case someone finds this randomness.

@whalekeeper

Lol. Latin is fascinating.

Collecting slang sounds brilliant and fun. *Takes recommendation* I’ve played with coloquialisms a little, but in a useful way. I shall have to try that.

What’s your favorite word biome so far?

@grcr

*peers through the glitter*

Wow. Grammar is interesting, but I haven’t done work in it. Your conlags…[Read more]
