“The fire is still smoking. Kallun, you want to get the fish?” Julian asked, “K’Nika and I can go find more onions.”

@allertingthbs

Yeah, I have a lot of alcoholism in my family, so I know how they act, but I don’t know how they feel or what they think.

I just have one quick scene that I need this information for. It can be aggravating how much research goes into a few words XD

@the-inkspiller

I actually knew some of that! I was in love with horses for a…[Read more]

@erynne

A random aside, horses love the taste of beer, as it essentially resembles pre-digested barley / wheat / hops, their preferred feedstock. Horses also have an extremely high alcohol tolerance, even accounting for their comparative size (3-8x the weight of an adult male human), as their gastrointestinal tract is specialized in digesting…[Read more]

@erynne You’re welcome, it’s certainly something that not everyone really knows what it’s like. Even for experienced drinkers it can be tough to divide up into understandable steps.

@the-inkspiller I agree, talking about difficulties in life can be as strong as the initial step taken to work past said difficulties. I do the same with mental…[Read more]

@Erynne, No worries! If anything, writing about the negative effects alcohol had on my life is a healthy reminder of why I stopped drinking and why I don’t want to drink alone again or ever walk back into that position of dependency. I’ll still drink with friends, who can watch me and keep me from having too much, but I will never keep alcohol in…[Read more]

@allertingthbs

That helps a lot!!! Thank you so much!

WELCOME TO THE CASTLE!!!! I disappeared a month and a half before Easter XD (Lent fast) but I’m glad to see more people have joined!!! Also your characters sound really cool and I greatly appreciate people who throw away the typical fantasy tropes (not that I can say the same for myself…XD) Excited to get to know your…[Read more]

@erynne Hey, in answer to the “is there a process” question here. I guess the answer, unfortunately, is “it depends.” Generally speaking, there are a couple levels to inebriation between sober and super drunk.

1. Warmed Up- After maybe one drink (assuming tolerance is decent) not a lot of difference will be felt, maybe a little more talkative.…[Read more]

“Yeah, fish.” K’Nika grinned at him.

“Much better,” Julian said stretching, “Do we have any breakfast?”

Those idiots were just standing around and not doing anything. Did they want to die? If they did, I wished they’d do it where it wouldn’t be such a mess.

WELCOME BACK! And YES, throw Niarok back in. The new characters are:

@emma-walker ‘s Isella who is a compassionate and brave princess and has a connection to time. She is sometimes able to control time itself, but it exhausts her. I believe she’s twenty-ish (emily-waldorf ?)

I pulled Khalon out and dropped Enydd in. She…[Read more]

Pia smirked and lightly kicked her betrothed in the ribs.
He groaned, “Ow.”

”wake up, lazy.”

I’M BACK!!! AND I BROUGHT AN ADORABLE HUMAN!!!!!! *squeezes Kim and kisses her on the cheek*

We’re from Fantasy Character Castle that was getting pretty slow so maybe we can just have “Lord Castle” do a thing and our characters fall into this castle, that’ll be the intro scene 😁

Also, ya’ll guys wanna use the Character Castle chat to declutter…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Hi! I’m Jared, currently writing a fantasy romance novel. However, my characters come from a YA fantasy series I’m working on (which the fantasy romance is a prequel to).

I don’t play by the normal fantasy magic/race tropes but come up with all original magic systems (called essence) and races (about 12 different original…[Read more]

I’M BAAACKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO INTRODUCE ME TO THE NEW PEOPLE!!!

And the new characters.

And what’s happened since I disappeared for a month and a half.

And is Niarok still welcome?

I’ll also be throwing my iconic villain Mori in because he’s been screaming at me. XD

Nithel scooches onward, sweat slides into his eyes and burns. His sword keeps scraping along the sidewall, and he tries to move it to his back, where it just slides along the bottom stones a bit. He tries to get to Alessio, whom he assumes has stopped, still looking ahead.

His heart feels like it’s split apart, his lungs refusing to take in air.…[Read more]

Julian laughed and sat up. “Finn here is just as… shocked as I was to find out you to are more than friends. Also, please just throw a rock at his head or something to wake him up. Don’t be all disgusting about it.”

@ragnarok @hannahrenner @this-is-not-an-alien

Hi Everybody!
I’ll be bringing in a fellow!

Name: Nithel

Age: 6,542 (He used to look it, wrinkled face, yards of white hair and beard. But he only looks 30, now, and will only admit to being ‘about forty’.)

Personality: *tempted to just let you find out*
He shies away from leadership, except with…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller

Woah, sorry, I didn’t mean to get super personal….

I, uh, yeah, either way that was incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much!

Is there like a series of events that happen during the process of getting drunk? (headaches, sweating, etc.)
