I love him all the more. XD You just aren't giving any hints up, are you? Ive been trying to draw him lately, but I have such a specific mental image that is proving very difficult to get down on paper.
Hmmmmm..... no. I don’t think so *suggestive eyebrow wiggle*
I’m keen to begin working on Book 2 - “A Tiding of Magpies” - so I can shove Rook and Brennan together for maximum awkward flirting. Made even more awkward because Snakeeyes will awkwardly chaperoning at least one such interaction. How many times can I say awkward in one sentence? Say awkward somemore, it's funny. XD Snakeeyes is still may favorite character, gah ha ha. This is why!

Ship from here? *looks interested* Yes, from here! Also perhaps I could be pursuaded to sketch their humanised versions/the characters from Corvidae as well... //makes odd whebble whibble noises because that's the sound that's in my head. Mossfire and Raintail? Stoooooorm and Pike though?

Could've sworn I already posted here, sorry! I love the new chapter! Seeing everyone's reactions to Storm's return was so poignant - you create such a good atmosphere of "the same but not the same". As for Redstar, I'm so angry with him right now, you would not believe. No worries!
Ah, I’m glad you like the atmosphere! It took a long time to get right, so I’m glad I spent the extra time getting it perfect.
And Redstar has questionable parenting skills. I remember back on the old forums, Redstar was everyone’s least favourite character (unsurprisingly) so it’s interesting to see the reemergence of that dislike

Turns out I’ve got the whole weekend off, so much drawing will be done! Your ships have been noted! Now that I think about it, Mossfire and Raintail would make some pretty funky babies, genetically speaking. Moss carries the genes for both torture and pointing, while Rain carries the genes for dilute and complete white (I think. I’ll have to check my notes)

Nope, you didn’t! What you gave me was some super cool designs to play around with!
It will be a challenge, and I’m all about pushing myself artistically at the moment!

Very interesting indeed! For me, it's how he's not a villain with a clear motive for what he does, he just lets terrible things happen through his inaction and can't take responsibility for the consequences.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! YES!!!!!!!!!!! There’s a tumblr post that goes “mistletoe, but instead of kissing whoever is under it you fight” and I seriously considered that, but there’s so much angst already so it would probably be nice to let everyone just make out with their significant others in peace.

It’s difficukt to find the correct adjective, because as you said he’s not a villain. Just a dude who made a ton of bad choices and isn’t really prepared to do anything to rectify it.

Also, I finished the first season of Lucifer and a little under halfway through 2. Thanks for suggesting it to me!

Yeeeeeeessssss Consume it, Mint.
Halfway through season 2. So you've met Ella, then.

Post by mintedstar/fur🦇 on Dec 1, 2018 18:07:51 GMT -5
I basically am. XD I'm trying to binge watch it before the 5th.
Ella ... Ella ... She's the one in ... is it called Forensics? Likes listening to loud music and wears a cross?

Post by Dingoleap on Dec 1, 2018 18:16:46 GMT -5
You're almost there! And then you'll be finished and will have to wait in agony for the fourth season with the rest of us.
Yep, that's Ella! She's awesome. And yes, it's called forensics. I did a course on that once. It was fascinating.
*looks at status* Where are you off to on the fifth?

Post by mintedstar/fur🦇 on Dec 1, 2018 18:26:08 GMT -5
Here here! Let's cut to the chase and just start waiting now?
Pfft. I love her. XD I'm also liking May's development as well. Or really, everyone's development. And I'm glad after watching murder mysteries for over 7 years I still can identify forensics with a giant question mark at the end. cx
Me and my family are having a no electronics week. Small, personal sort of vacation. I'm going to us it to finish Poisoning the Sea.

People are estimating that it will hit Netflix early next year. I'm pretty sure they've finished filming, but I'm not sure. Because I've only every watched it on Netflix, rather than live tv, I had to wait a year for season 3. For the month after I finished binging the first two seasons, I'm pretty sure I suffered withdrawals.
The character arcs are all so good. Even the side characters have their own personal journeys to complete outside of the overarching plot line and its so satisfying to see each character develop and grow independent of all the others. It's so, so well-written. And unlike other fandoms, there is literally no discourse/hate/arguments. I haven't come across anything negative about the show - and I'm on Tumblr, arguably the most explosive social media platform in the world.
Ooh, that's really cool! I hope you get a lot done! Imagine how many books I could read in that time...

I can understand why. o.o *cough* And here I am just watching it all on sites that ripped them off the TV.
That is honestly impressive. That's so rare, not to see anything negative. And yes! The character arcs are stunning! They really make the show!
I'm already imagining. I just got some new ones from the library. ^^

TV shows are a little bit addictive.
I’m watching Teen Wolf at the moment and indulging my inner child. My younger self was sure that being a werewolf would have been the single greatest thing in the world.
It’s so relaxed. There are no shipping wars because everyone ships everyone with everyone else. It’s absolutely amazing dynamic and character growth. The Trixie/Maze friendship is possibilybthe best relationship in the show. I mean... this child is literally best friends with a demon. And this demon is best friends with a child. It’s amazing.
Ooh, what did you get?

Oh yes they are. When I finish one I seem to just start another.
Pfft. I relate to younger you.
My dad's meowing in the background to try and get Psych to answer. And then I hear faint, response meows. It's very cute.
Yeah, I can see. XD That's pretty good! Yeeeeess. The dynamics are great and I love Maze's (I apparently can't spell the first time. XD ) and Trixie's friendship! It's awesome!
Er. I'm rereading Loki's Wolves, several graphic novels (a cute Juvenile Fiction one called Phoebe and her Unicorn, I believe is the title?), a couple of manga, and if I wanted some work, I have some scholarship books.

I know. I don’t cope if I’m not watching a tv show. I’m juggling three at the moment - ‘Outlander’, ‘A Discovery of Witches’ and ‘Teen Wolf’.
Hmmm... I don’t know. I was pretty young when I asked my mother if she’d still love me if I were a werewolf.
I knew who you meant XD Considering I adore the ‘found family’ trope, it does my heart good.
Ooh, sounds interesting! My knowledge of Norse mythology is fairly limited, but I’m sure some of those wolves would be Fenrir, Hati and Sköll.

Aaay! Discovery of Witches! I read that back in the day. Well, I say read. Mostly read. Got halfway through, but I was a lot younger. So I set it aside until I was older. I ... wonder after I said all that if we're even talking about the same Discovery of Witches. My mother watches Outlanders, as does several other family members. But that is almost my total knowledge on it. XD Ha ha. Well, I should have stated more accurately. Younger me relates to younger you. That's what I meant.Yeeees. I love the found family trope! I have it in my Will C. Morgen Project book. I honestly love it so much. Actually, the book is about the decedents of the Norse gods. The gods are long dead and that left their offspring-a-zillion-times-over in 'modern' times (no dates are stated) who have to be their stand-ins. Loki's decedents can shape-shift into wolves and the chosen stand-ins want to rebel against the rules. The Loki stand-ins (there are two stand-ins for Loki, sort of. There are two possibles and they don't know which is which? I think that was how it went) doesn't want to end the world, much less fight anyone. So the plot is everyone working with the stand-ins for Loki against the stand-in for Odin, who does want to end the world. There are three POVs. The Thor stand-in and both Loki stand-ins get POVs. Book 2 took too long to come out, so I dropped the series. Now all three books are out and I need to finish it. XD So I'm starting from square one again.

It was based on a book - a trilogy, maybe? - and it’s absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend it. And Outlander is amazing. I started it because I crave historical fiction and somewhere along the way got so invested in this time-travel love story that there’s no way I can drop it now. I need them to be happy, Mint.
I wish there was more of a found family in Corvidae, but most of the main characters are biologically related, so... JUST YOU WAIT until I start writing ‘God’s of Requiem’, though. Found family for the win. I’ll probably tackle it for NaNo next year, although it’s one of those books that I have to be in a very specific mood to write.
Ooh, that sounds really really interesting! I’m going to have to look that up!
