Idk. I’ve already had all my questions about GE answered.

Maybe what his first story idea was? Or what were some of the most impacted books for him growing up?

@whalekeeper

Oh my. Ok. Um…

We know what his favorite cookie is. 🤔

Ack, that’s a good question but my brain is blanking. Something with writing or his time in Africa…

Maybe which one if his characters is his favorite?

*Wonders if I wasted my hypothetical question* XD

@whalekeeper

 but the beginning doesn’t include any huge brave decisions because it’s setting up the status quo.

He could make a minor brave decision like a phone call. If your world has phone calls.

@whalekeeper

haha!!!

Oh yes, absolutely.

@whalekeeper they really are the GOATs.

Having no emotional connection to Sniper, my eyes immediately go to the art technique. I’m heartless. XD

LOL!

it’d be weirder if you did have an emotional connection to him with no prior knowledge of what’s going on.

Chapter 23!

@whalekeeper

Oh really? I love them. It’s so fun to start tying them together in subtle ways.

In the first one, all three end up frequenting the same cafe at different times, and only a few readers pick that up because I never state the name, but I describe the surroundings the same. Things like that.

One of the MC’s works with another…[Read more]

@whalekeeper haha! I’m decently nice to my characters…..sometimes. There’s torture on the menu, but it’s not always.

I like the line work on that panel, verrry nice.

my brain: he just got SHOT and is BLEEDING OUT IN A FLOODING UNDERWATER FACILITY and you’re commenting on the LINEWORK????

jk I love the linework too and have tried to replicate…[Read more]

@whalekeeper LOLLLLLLLLLLL

mentally broken snipers are my boys

@whalekeeper

Ooo! Cool!

I did one with the first book in the series and I’ve decided to keep going with it thought the whole trilogy.

@whalekeeper ahhh whoops!

well since you’ve already been spoiled, I’ll explain: Crosshair saves another trooper’s life, but the Empire isn’t willing to help him and leaves them both to die in the freezing cold. so Crosshair’s just like “forget this” and decides to defect from the Empire (finally).

Not before he nearly freezes and the other guy…[Read more]

@whalekeeper lol

Although, in my defense, I’m not responsible for some of the stuff that happened to my stolen adopted characters.

For example, you can’t say I was behind this:

(u did watch season 2 of bad batch right?? I hope so cause if not, sorry for the spoilers)

@whalekeeper

Nope, he’s an MC. But it’s a three-way POV, so there are two other MCs.

He’s also an interesting character because of his job…. so he has that going for him.

@whalekeeper

Does the hunger games thingy count as fan fiction though?

Also don’t worry about role playing. Take all the time you need. I’m kinda busy rn too. (Finally got a job yayyyyyyy)

@whalekeeper

no, not really! I like her ideas. I have written quiet moody characters, but I don’t know if they’re quite like this.

I have a current moody character, but he’s not super likeable. (except that he happens to be all my reader’s favorite) he’s doing the right thing, but he kinda hates the world. (and has good reason to) But then he…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Sounds like you’re all set to me!

Words of wisdom are heavy upon the fingers.

Oh my word. XD That needs to be a tag line

@whalekeeper

I already have that! Perhaps I have made some better-than-bad choices!

Yay!

…What about the first few chapters of the book, though? I want to set him up as likable then, but the beginning doesn’t include any huge brave decisions because it’s setting up the status quo.

The status quo is him trying to be “comfortable” or whatever, right…[Read more]

@whalekeeper lollll so true……

as kp’s resident weird-fanfiction writer, can confirm.

@koshka    @whalekeeper

I like Koshka’s idea.

@whalekeeper

Hmm. Often anxious, slightly pessimistic, nervous.

Give him something (or someone) he cares so much about that he would risk anxious situations to protect/keep/help. It could be something simple like a pet kitten or his father’s pocket watch, or something more complex like a best friend. What drives his anxiety? What is a cause he’d…[Read more]
