I’m so mad, I had a perfect, GIANT analysis for @rose-colored-fancy, I posted it, edited a misspelling aND STORY EMBERS ATE THE ENTIRE POST 🙁

The basic jist though:

Idk about any of you, but I’m more likely to pray about my writing when I’ve included a touchy subject.  However, it occurred to me that there’s a lot that can sneak in with that…[Read more]

THAT’S AWFUL!

We have to do it.  That’s going to be amazingly traumatic!

Ok so now I low key want to make them refuse…

I actually agree with Cathy here – idk why but Cal always seemed just straight up gay to me?

Either way, it’s certainly going to be interesting seeing her interactions with Malcolm.  I think it’s going to be awfully hard to write, but the potential here is so good!  And it’s a really grounded, realistic struggle/trial for Malcolm, at least e…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien huh.  I never knew that about Ehud!

I recently discovered that four of my characters are ace as well (five if you count Basil in the labs arc, but he doesn’t really count since the staff were deliberately messing with his hormones to get that effect…)

@inkhorn I like that drawing of Enydd!  She looks gentle, but r…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy Smh of course it was, he was practically begging to do the reveal all along!

Of course I’m supportive of keeping Cal in!  Judging by people’s response to Kit, I’m assuming a lot of others will be too, but it’s always good to ask anyways.

I’m really interested to see her backstory/biggest regret (and not just because it’s…[Read more]

Goodness that IS dreadful!

Those are some really interesting backstories for both Rosemary and Jade!

Oh don’t you love it when the castle does that?

I don’t think I’ve gotten to know Enydd well at all!  What’s the premise of her character?

Also, I have a proposal for the challenge!  I think that there should be a death penalty threatened f…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard yeah that does sound really nasty!  What’s Jade’s backstory?

I’m not sure you’ll have to worry about that in this castle XD

I actually really like kinda disturbing dystopian settings!  Spire used to be way more dystopian (especially before adding characters like Kit and Valencia), but one half of the story is still about super sol…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard I’m curious, what’s the premise of Jade and Rosemary’s world?  It sounds really creepy and SUPER dystopian XD

THIS IS SUCH A GRAPHIC AND UNNECESSARILY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION XD

I love it lol

I’m so looking forward to this performance!  It’s going to be terribly awkward, but it’s going to be interesting to see how the more experienced dancers cover for Abirami

Also, there’s kind of a running joke here about how all of the characters seem to have some…[Read more]

You have no idea how relieved I am right now XD

Tbh, when I first dropped him in, it wasn’t really a part of his character (just a vague idea), but once it became clear that it really was an important part of his character and backstory…

I was having to go to ridiculous lengths to try and shut him up XD  Like, deleting entire tracts of text…[Read more]

Alright so I’ve been terribly nervous about this, but I think it’s about time I go search for this new character, now that I think just about everyone’s okayed it…

Kit: “…”

Kit: “What do you mean search, I’ve been here this entire time 😌”

So yes, Kit was indeed the character I was talking about!  I decided to ummm protect his identity…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf

hehe you have no idea how relevant this is XD

I think that sounds good!  I have to say, I’m both looking forward to these new challenges and dreading them at the same time – It’s going to be a fantastic character development exercise…but my poor boy already has enough regrets and deep dark secrets related trauma already…[Read more]

@inkhorn goodness that is a fantastic challenge!  I can’t wait!

At first I thought you meant a literal barbershop convention – like, a convention of barbers XD

That sounds really cool though!

@inkhorn Of course!

I do believe that homosexuality is a sin, but I also believe that it has been given an unfair “focus” by conservative Christian circles.  I’ve heard Christian circles talk about how evil homosexuality is, and then from those same circles, I’ll hear a strange level of silence surrounding issues such as sexual abuse in the…[Read more]

Avin’s thinking now, real hard.  I fidget in the silence.  I guess I almost feel embarrassed for asking him to begin with.  He’s taking this so seriously, and he doesn’t even know me!  It’s been a long, long time since I’ve received advice like this – I mean, actually useful advice.

“When she nettles you, you have to act smooth, and don’t prick b…[Read more]

Oh that’s ok!  I’m glad to hear that XD  If it helps, his love interest has always been a female character – that’s the side of him that you guys would see in the castle 🙂

@emily-waldorf what a lovely story for Avin and Elsa!  No wonder she wanted to marry him XD Avin honestly sounds like such a sweet and patient guy.  And the idea of him taking care of her like that throughout the storm is so cute and also kind of painful, considering how she treated him :’)

@irishcelticredflowercrown

Sweet!  I’m not quite sure how to start this, since…well, Valencia has quite a bit of common sense and knows better than to approach intimidating masked men on a whim XD

Or would she?

We’ll need to figure out a way to force them both together!  I think it’s going to be really funny seeing them interact

Btw, is L…[Read more]
