Celarent

Celarent folded his arms and gave Mateo a disdainful look. He hadn’t actually called Bird Boy by that nickname out loud had he? He knew the rules. Only mock people behind their back. Saying it to their faces made you sound juvenile. He groaned inwardly. He’d already broken rule 6: Forge an allyship with those in…[Read more]

Mateo

Mateo looked at the kid, he said in a threatening voice, “Don’t make that mistake again.” He then turned to little fellow and said in his ‘light-hearted’ voice, “Where too, Pequeño?”

@whalekeeper

And also, nice drawing! I now understand. XD I thought she was a lot less humanoid.

Thank you! Kentor are the most human of all the non-human races. I have a reason for this in the lore, but may not explore it in this series. Hint: it has to do with Kunulfs, the other species native to the area, being more animal than normal.

With…

So I just got an idea. Recently I’ve been enjoying doing some art challenges to help me grow in some weak points in my art, and was wondering if we could do an art challenge together each week or two. Anyone interesting?

If people are, I’ll create a…[Read more]

Thank you for your feedback. The first thing you mentioned about Tyn not wanting to see Alan fail is a good point. In Book I, she did look up to him and seeing him resist magic for so long was hope she could overcome her instincts. But when he failed and returned to magic, she began to lose hope, which is why she refused to help…[Read more]

I’m very late to the party, but I’ll listen to some of those songs in a sec

Yay!! 😊

@whalekeeper

Oo. I’ll have to look at those.

Right now I’m listening to my happy music. XD Which today, is apparently Slava Lui (by Alin Si Emima) and Hineh Ma Tov (by James Wilson). lol.

If I made a playlist describing myself, it would be so convoluted.

@whalekeeper

Oh no. Praying.

@whalekeeper

That’s terrible. Praying!! 🙏

@whalekeeper

Some of these were more “research inspired by books” than research for books.

• Dead bodies can bleed at the mouth and nose if moved after the blood pools.
• Although black was a much sought after color of fabric in the middle ages, we don’t have many examples that survived to today, as the dyes used to make a solid black were…

Here is my explanation for Tyn’s behaviour. I don’t know how well you will be able to read this, so let me know if you need me to clarify anything:

What I forgot to mention here is that one of Tyn’s biggest fears is being controlled. Cyrus turns her against Alan, and she doesn’t want to admit it, so she is trying to justify it.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper oh I guess you already tried that email. There’s another one, Kingdompenpoetry. Should I try that?

Celarent

Celarent side-eyed Mateo. Dead for a long time, eh? He certainly looked it. Celarent turned back to Bird Boy. He seemed decent enough.

“This is my first day. Does everyone have wings where you’re from?” Living on the streets, Celarent didn’t know much about other countries, but he’d assumed that none of their…[Read more]

I’d have to look again, but while studying for an essay a year ago, I did find some documentation/studies on children displaced by the Blitz, if that would be helpful.

It’s the reason Viktor now spends part of his child nonverbal, and reenacts a lot of stuff in his play for about a year. (Throws his sister’s doll into the kitchen…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yes! The weather rock! My dad wants to put up one someday.

@whalekeeper

Oops I totally missed this lol!

I get a lot of references from Pinterest, but I’ve heard theres a growing amount of ai art on it so ughhhh. There’s still good stuff on there. I usually use references from shows I like. I recently watched a Donghua called Link Click (wait I haven’t ranted to you about this yet lol, it’s such a great…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Stuff mostly about the medieval ages, or about sword fighting. For instance, feudalism and the exchange between peasants and lords, or the training of knights from pages to knighthood. However, at one point I was researching Irish slang for a story idea, and discovered some interesting slang such as “not looking the full s…[Read more]
