    Epic, I’m working on it! I sent in the request, now I’m just waiting for them to get around to it!

    Oh yay! Can’t wait to see you there lol

    Oh YES! I mean, Liorah and Aydin are like my favorites and they’re both supremely messed up XD They actually both have PTSD too, though from two different events, and it shows up rather differently in both of them. Liorah develops it during the runtime of the books, but Aydin has had it for years. It’s both sad and darkly funny the contrast between how they deal with it. Liorah is panicking and going through the full spectrum of negative emotions once a day and Aydin is just “Same mess as always” and carries on 😭 Poor guys


    Aydin is my favorite XD Oh no!!! That is seriously sad, but I think it’s interesting the way you portray their two different reactions to it. I think I would probably be reacting like  Liorah – in terms of just plain panicking. *sigh* Poor girl!!  So if you had to choose, which one is the worse case? (please pardon my grammar. XD Grammarly thinks that sentence is okay so it must be right?) As in whose PTSD is the more traumatic? If you can choose! Also, I might pick your brain for ideas when I start writing Maddock – my poor traumatized PTSD boy!!!

    Poor Payton, he deserves all the hugs! So does Aydin, but he doesn’t like them XD Depending on the day he’d squirm in supreme discomfort or if he’s feeling bad enough just detach himself from the person and try to keep them at arm’s length. He only does touching on his terms XD Which.. I mean, completely justified, I get it.

    He does!! Okay, so he probably wouldn’t really like me hugging him, he’d be annoyed I think, but he’s put up with it. Unless he’s super scared – like now – and then, yeah, I can hug him all I want. Yeah, I get that. IRL that would be me sometimes too XD So when he gets like that, I go hug Verity or Trevyn – two charries who don’t mind my huggingabilitiess XD

    And nope, not telling XD Even if you can’t put together the major spoiler, there’s always someone watching on SE and I’m not telling such a big spoiler XD

    MAN!! *sigh* I suppose I should be thankful…. so. *thanks* 😉😒 (first time puppy eyes have failed me….I think I need a new weapon lol)

    Hmmm
 I don’t really remember XD For perspective, I didn’t actually *learn* English or Dutch through any conscious effort. I was really young and I had a bunch of English-speaking friends, so it was the only way to communicate XD Also my parents are fluent in English and read to us in it for as long as I can remember, so we just kind of picked it up! Lol, I remember when I was trying to talk to my friends and I didn’t know a word so it was a matter of pantomime, attempting something that might be the word, and finally giving up and finding a parent to translate XD Pretty much the same thing applied to Dutch!

    Ah that’s so fun!! XD Life tip: when in doubt, use sign language/pantimone. 😉😉😊😊

    This pattern of learning it via movies, parents, books, and friends from all different countries does still give me a somewhat whacky accent at times XD I’ve been told I sound ‘posh’ and ‘British’ or ‘like I belong in Downtown Abbey’ but occasionally a word slips in a VERY American, Australian, or Kiwi accent XD It’s extremely funny, whenever I meet someone for the first time they’re briefly confused and bewildered by it XD

    *swoons* DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO HAVE A BRITISH ACCENT?! Well, actually, I don’t know either, but I’d love to have one lol. Seriously, I bet you have a cool accent though! I’m pretty sure I don’t. Except that I say y’all. Maybe if I moved somewhere else, people would think I did? XD

    LOL same, when I can see where it’s going and I don’t like it I might just
 stop. XD OH WAIT I THOUGHT OF ONE. Allegiant. Enough said XD Again, didn’t finish it, but heard about the ending, and that was enough.

    I have a hard time stopping in the middle of books – so I just skip to the end XD Allegiant? Never read it, never even heard of it… guess I won’t put that one on my TBR list lol What did you hear about the ending?!

    Don’t worry, he’s an excellent king and universally liked XD

    *claps* good job!

    LOlll that’s so fun! Unfortunately, they would just instantly die XD The current king of that tribe is the main antagonist XD

    XD *rushes to collect my characters* Umm c’mon guys, time to go…

    Payton: But I was gonna have some fun!!

    *double take*

    “PAYTON why are YOU HERE!? It was just supposed to be the older guys!! The ones that actually can fight in duels.”

    Payton: You BLINDED me, okay? It’s not exactly fun. I had to come to a world where I wasn’t blind and stir stuff up, and this looked like my best bet.”

    Yeah right. A duel with a guy who is going to kill you. Wait, why are you not blind here? Never mind, just come with me. *drags Payton back to his own world*

    (this is what I have to deal with when I work with Payton XD)

    I am! My account name is @roseeverdeen123 ! I LOVE mood boards too, I have some for all my characters!

    Yay!! I see you!! Awww those boards are so cool!! He he, I can’t do regular moodboards b/c I don’t have the app/program thing so I just make a bunch of Pinterest boards. I’m just plain sydneywitbeck on there by the way 😉)
