If you want an example of how to brainwash children and young adults, look no further than the Army. Not to speak negatively on the brave soldiers who volunteer to serve and protect, but hear me out. Your average middle class American Joe Schmoe is not that violent of a person, nor that mentally tough. Part of the reason casualties in disaster or…[Read more]

Avin
Kit’s eyes widened. “You married a princess? That sounds like something straight out of a fairy tale!” His whole face grinned. “Wait so does that make you a prince now?”
Avin smiled in spite of himself. “No: I’m only a duke, now. In Vegada the wife’s title is aligned with the husband’s, so now she’s only a duchess.”
…When she could h…[Read more]

@calidris you already alleviated my two objections: That it would be seen as a sin and that he wouldn’t act on his attraction in the castle. I think it would be great to meet another character that you love. I understand your love of Kit already, so bring him on.

Also, I had a bit of a revelation about Cal. I think she was coming across as rather too mean, just for the sake of it, and that isn’t really in character for her. So I think I’ll be doing something of an adjustment, so it might seem a little out of character.

Ophelia
Jade shot me something that appeared to be on the verge of a frown but caught herself.
“Have you done much with partners before?”
I shook my head, then changed my mind and nodded. I hadn’t done much but I had done something, and I supposed that’s what she was asking.
“I’ve been practicing a pas de deux recently,” I said, “But Malco…[Read more]

Nice drawings of Cal! The hair is really cool.
Thank you! 😀

Thank you! It really captured her attitude XD

“Outclassed?” My attention snaps back to Avin. “You’re never that. There’s no such thing as class, Kit. You’re a person, she’s a person. You just live a different life; speak a different language. You’ll learn. One day it will happen, and suddenly she’ll see you in a new light.”
Speak a different language. Yeah. That’s exactly how it fee…[Read more]

Ok so I have a rather unusual question for @everyone in here:
How would you guys feel if someone were to drop in an LGBT character?
I ask because I do have a bisexual character who I happen to be quite fond of, but the last thing I would want to do is make people uncomfortable! I ask because his sexuality is actually really, REALLY important…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown would you like to try an interaction between Lorcan and Valencia?
@emily-waldorf Avin has some of the same insecurities as Kit – although in his case…they’re far beyond justifiable (I mean an orphaned commoner/outcast/ alleged criminal marrying a princess – no wonder Avin feels insecure about it!)

So first I want to figure out how much a 16 or 17-year-old would be affected by murder and stuff. And I also want to figure out how brainwashing works. And I want to be brainwashing a six or seven-year-old. So how does murder affect…[Read more]

@scoutfinch190 There’s actually a fairly short answer here: no. Not really, no.
Our bodies really like to be around 98.6 degrees in Fahrenheit. Water freezes below 32F and melts at temperatures above that. If you were to be in an absolutely frozen wasteland and got a massive bloody gash, some of the blood outside your body could freeze. The blood…[Read more]

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on introducing sort of off-the-wall characters that haven’t been well-foreshadowed.
