My brother said the Castle was too slow. So, I’m going to speed things up.
🙂🙂🙂
😈😈😈😈

Amnesia sat on his throne. A sudden burst of power disrupted the Mirror of Fear, meaning he could assume she was coming back. He never expected to see her again. While she wasn’t whole, she would be if the two halves met. But that didn’t matter. That power w…[Read more]

So.

There is another person here. Some punk in armor that clinks stupid-loudly.

I wriggle my foot and listen.

“Ah, we were just making an alliance to kill whatever monstrosity transported us here,” what’s-his-name says in an easy  tone. The same kind that Grimme uses when she’s about to kick butt. “Would you be willing to join?”

“Who are you?…[Read more]

“He doesn’t need help, Alessio.”

Alessio was about to pop off with something “clever” but then he realized with panic…

“What Alessio? My name’s Margret.” He said hastily as if to cover up before Arsene notic –

“Alessio’s a nice name you know!” Arsene called out triumphantly. Devils! For an instant he felt completely cornered, even though i…[Read more]

Oh fun fact! Neurodiverse people are twice as likely to come out as queer as the rest of the population!

@calidris pft yeah, he’s ADHD 😁👌

(I’ll just say…researching ADHD for Ehud was literally like “That’s not normal…?” “I feel called out!!!” “DID SOMEBODY JUST WRITE THIS BLOG SERIES TO ATTACK ME!?!?!??!” *breaks down and takes 5-7 diagnosis tests and scores stupidly high in all of them* “Shoot. I better apologize to all those authors I was mad…[Read more]

“*cough* I mean ‘her’, I shall defend you, helpless damsel having lost manhood in one fell blow.” What the heck? “How dare you harm a frail, feminine flower such as Sarah, sir?”

“He is a rather charming female, now that I look at it.” 

“Shut up, Persephone.” 

F*ck, if he was hearing Persephone, then it was only a matter of time before the Bl…[Read more]

“Well if anyone knows what they are doing, let’s get going.” Said a new voice and Nathair looked up.

New characters just never stop coming…

“Hello, stranger!” King Miles called (though “king” hardly fit his casual air) “What is your name? And where did you come from?”

These people were just so stupidly friendly, he’d never met anything like it.…[Read more]

“Oh Lucy,” Arsene exclaimed in high falsetto “I didn’t know you identified as a woman.”

“Did you just assume my gender, Maria?” Alessio said without missing a beat.

And. This continued. For a while because each of them had an ever more sassy response and refused to be outplayed.

“Hey!” Sir Scary interrupted and Alessio jumped back just as the…[Read more]

(Hades Irving)

“Okay, Sarah.”

What the heck?

“Oh Lucy,” Arsene said in the fakest voice Hades had ever heard. “I didn’t know you identified as a woman.”

Oh no, this was going to go back and forth, wasn’t it? Okay, he could tolerate it. He had disciplined himself years so that he couldn’t be angered immediately (Key word). However, there was…[Read more]

“So…What’s your name?”

Alessio didn’t answer right away. For a second he almost considered telling him. Maybe not yet…? Too many people listening and Sir Scary was right above him and he wasn’t sure –

“I’ll call you by a girl’s name if you don’t tell me your actual name.” Arsene smirked. And now it was a dare. Alessio stared at him flatly.

“O…[Read more]

Arsene had just registered everything, when the boy said. “Can you magic these handcuffs out of existence?”

Ugh, he had already used his power so many times, might as well. Clasping the chain, Arsene activated nether. Attempting to eradicate the handcuffs, Arsene tried to lighten the mood.

“So…What’s your name?” Arsene asked the boy.

“Not…[Read more]

Before Alessio could recover, an explosion of pain blasted his jaw.

“Don’t ever get anywhere near my mask. Do you understand?” His enemy snapped, sharp enough Alessio flinched, more from that than the bruise forming around the side of his face.

“What happe…?” He was going to actually ask what would happen if he did touch the mask but faded off.…[Read more]

A little update guys –  Kit does indeed have ADHD, idek how I missed it the first time but it’s official now and I’m very interested to see how it plays out in the castle!

Not that it hasn’t already played out before…

@this-is-not-an-alien I’m particularly interested to hear your take on this because I know Ehud has ADHD too (and you’re…[Read more]

Hades was hardly able to process what happened, when Alessio kicked him in face. A kick to the mask. Annoyed with Alessio’s antics, almost more than the fact he was handcuffed to his target, Hades grabbed Alessio by the leg. Although he didn’t power up his gauntlets, Hades punched Alessio in the face.

“Don’t ever get anywhere near my mask. Do you…[Read more]

Instinct kicked in.

Literally.

Alessio kicked Hades in the face.

Reflexively, he spun himself over the handcuffs and landed in a crouch to dodge being thrown off balance with his confines. He was going to kill Alessio, Alessio had zero doubt. All he could do was disorient the man long enough to get the cuffs off! He tried to land a blow to his…[Read more]

Kit’s in the exact same boat here XD

Mara

Crash!

Mara jolted out of sleep. That was not the New Day bell. Could the Fishers be…? There were rumors, after all. She stepped forward in the dark, reaching out for where her brother should be, safe in bed — and found only empty space. Panic shot through her veins. Crashing noises continued to emanate from some room that shouldn’t exist…[Read more]

@calidris

XD Jade’s got her reasons, but she’s definitely not unbiased when it comes to Mara. I (and Mara) are glad Kit approves. Pretty much everyone else hates her hair.

@e-n-leonard Great!  It’s going to be interesting to see the “real” Mara, since Jade really seemed to have issues with her, and I don’t really trust her for an unbiased opinion XD

Also

Kit approves.

@calidris

Vulure vomit? Awesome idea! I can’t wait to see this… XD

@everyone

Jade and Isaias are now officially out of the Castle, and I’m going to throw Mara in now because this seems like her kind of situation. And maybe she’s been rather stubborn and reserved in her book, so the Castle is a time out 😂.

Mara Gobey-H…[Read more]
