whaley the great and terrible

@whalekeeper

XD that’s great. I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

@whalekeeper

WhAt??????

It’s a great tradition. Also, homemade tamales are almost worth dying for.

@raxforge

Yeah, on nearly everything I’ve found on Christmas the stuff is regurgitated that Christmas is all pagan and completely stolen, but then when you look to objections to that, the evidence against it is much more substantial.

@whalekeeper

That sounds like a great way to celebrate Christmas.

@esther-c

I honestly don’t understand why…

Depends on what you mean as rough, and the time period.

If you mean worn; mismatched/replaced buttons, fraying hems, taped glasses, scuffed but clean shoes, fraying laces.

If you mean hardworking: muddy shoes, rolled cuffs, denim, flannel, holes in pockets/knees, strapped gloves.

If you mean from the hood? Worn clothing, denim, T-…[Read more]

Ha lol I totally forgot about this and now I’ve been snowballed again, so it looks like I’m at 200 words… fortunately for me, I did just write more than 200 words, so it looks like I can start throwing my snowballs! I’d share what I wrote, but it’s part of a random scene in a story and probably would not make sense without more of the story,…[Read more]

Welp… I wrote a short story! XD

If you have the time, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it before I show it to friends and family. (It’s kinda long, I apologize, lol. It’s under 11k.)

Tagging some folks just in case you’re interested, but don’t feel obligated to read it. :))

Nahim scene (which will probably end up in my book)

275 words

“Life for me has been…dark since they died.” Nahim turned his face away.

Master Canin wrapped his arm around Nahim’s shoulders like a father, pulling him close. “I know, Nahim. The war has taken away my daughter. It’s been years since I’ve seen her.”

Ooh, fun question. I would write a suicide note and throw one of my coats in the river so it looks like I drowned myself.

@whalekeeper

They paint a clear connection between magic and animals, making them a power source to control,

You’re on to me. But did you notice there was one spell that included no animals?

@ellette-giselle

The spells. Why do we need to know the images?

I sincerely hope none of this offended you. If it came across as harsh or mean, that is not my intent. This is (as you can probably guess) something I feel strongly about.

@whalekeeper

I for one thought the spell images were well done…
And I think the images paint a good picture of w…

@whalekeeper I get that and to some extent agree. It’s just the inclusion of a detailed description of the spells kinda broke immersion for me a little. It didn’t seem THAT necessary.

I’ve done 200 of my 400 words. I’m gonna go ahead and throw half my snowballs.
