    AWW!!! That’s so cute!!! That was the most adorable and satisfying ending possible!!!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!

    Aw thanks!!! And I’ve been loving Sahar and Acyn!!

    Yep, you’re totally right there. I think that if I tried her personality type again I might get something else. I did that even before I dropped her into the castle, so I didn’t know her that well. XD

    Yeah, characters just love surprising! Aaaaand you can test as a lot of different personality types depending on how suppressive you are, I’ve come out as an ENFJ when I’m overcompensating and an INFJ when I’m super depressed. The Phantom of the Opera is usually claimed to be a INTJ but he’s more an INFP and–XD I love personality types!

    It’s the best when that happens! LOL, whenever I listen to a new song I try to fit it to a character XD

    LOL IKR!!

    Thanks, writing is like free therapy, ain’t it? XD Or at least, realizing that one’s messed-up-ness runs deeper than you initially thought! LOL, writing Gavril is the worst/best for that XD I’ll be like “Man, I relate to him so much– Oh, wait, I’m projecting, aren’t I? Wow. That’s… very disturbing.” XD

    Ow yeah! Huh…I never related to Gav at all in his posts and that was really weird coz half his issues I thought I’d really relate to…

    Also, I’ve really been wanting to drop a different character in. (Not right now, I’m having too much fun with these two!) but I’ve been kinda absently thinking about maybe dropping in that other character I can’t say too much about? He’s really interesting, and I want to see how he interacts with all the others, (especially Quin, since he has a paralyzed right hand) but fair warning, he’s… extremely secretive. (And extremely traumatized! Yay!)

    Wait…is that the…is it THAT character?!?!?!?!?! Am I gonna finally meet that character!!!!!!!!!

    You, Cathy, have one forward and imaginative tongue on you, though I believe I might have mentioned that already once or twice.  That was fun to read.

    Yes I believe you might’ve said something like that before 😇. It’s so refreshing to find someone just as snarky too I’m love this!!!

    Yeah, I was just messing with you. That explanation had crossed my mind, but apparently I’m not American enough, because I’ve never heard that phrase used.

    Ah, thanks for the clarification, I just needed to be sure *whacks you on the head repeatedly!*
    Shame shame and shame! Next you’ll be telling me you’re just a New Yorker or you’ve never heard how to find your way to the road if you get lost in the woods or you’ve never heard of StarWars!!!

    To satisfy everyone’s curiosity, I’m currently in the state of Kentucky touring these two awesome museums called the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. They’re like these awesome places talking about how science and stuff doesn’t have to be exclusive from the Bible and about how God created the world and stuff like that. So that’s my life right now…

    OoooOooooh!!!! Sounds so exciting, ya gotta tell me everything!!!!! XD

    *Barges into conversation* First of all, this entire exchange was HILARIOUS!! XD Y’all have the best senses of humor XD

    Lol thanks! And that’s why you get so many weird friends like us, darling, here to save you from soul-crushing boredom and normalcy 🤪

    Oooh, that’s odd! In fact, it isn’t particularly American. (Not arguing! Just adding my weird bits of knowledge ) I’ve heard it often and I’m definitely not American, and it’s actually an expression in Dutch and Afrikaans too!

    Ohhh, cool!
    Hear that Noah! You now have zero excuse for being ignoramus, even Netherlands-girl knows it!!! (It’s just coz girls are smarter than guys, right @rose-colored-fancy? ;D)

    I mean… “I love you” means something completely different to me in each language I can say it in, even if I pick the translations closest to each other in meaning. (There are multiple ways to express love in Afrikaans, ranging from platonic to romantic but let’s not get into that) My mother tongue always feels more emotional than any of the others.

    *(Waitwaitwait let’s do get into that!)*

    I wouldn’t ordinarily speak a different language to someone who doesn’t understand it because it’s awkward and they can’t understand it anyway. I guess what I’m trying to say is that slipping into a first language is just such a trusting thing to do. It conveys a certain thing that a second or third language just doesn’t. (Weirdly enough, this might also be the reason I cannot pray in English.) I think it’s pretty common to interpret a character using endearments/ making confessions in a first language as a kinda shy thing to do, like they don’t quite want the other person to know what they mean, and it could mean that! But to me it just hits different, practically pronouncing that this person is special to them, special enough that only that one particular language can express it. Wow, I didn’t mean to go on a rant there but I kinda did XD If you made it all the way through that, I’m impressed! XD

    Ahhh, that’s beautiful…*stealthily takes more notes*🤫🐱‍👤
