Sorry for the long absences, life has gotten a bit hectic! 😅 Hope you're all well. Taking a hiatus for a while, but I'll be back once things calm down. Take good care of yourselves and each other! ♥️

Yesss, I somehow suspect you're really good at sculpting stuff.

Best of luck for your exams! I'm sure you'll crush em. 👍

👀👀👀 Super Secret Project eh? Can we guess? It's either gonna be a ✨BOOK COVER✨ or maybe like an official wedding portrait, or maybe something for an art gallery? Hrmmm...

Duck sculpture.

Hullo Nush! I've been good. Busy busy busy haha.

How art thou, Nushie Duck? I'll have to catch up on your art.

Carly, I ADORE shrimp (and prawns and crabs and lobsters, I could go on...)

Also you need to have a fried egg, you're missing out!

(I've been off and on bsky for a bit, sorry for being tardy!)

The Airborne Shrimp Debacle is right up my alley!

An alt universe action-comedy (because that's all I know how to write apparently) with a group of skydiving shrimps who are in free-fall when they suddenly enter an alternate reality where they're... food?! For humans? How will they escape?!

I remember this! The final product was so pretty with the fireflies and everything. ♥️

Stellar work as always!

comm wip for @kayleighdiaz.com !!

Hopefully they figure it out before it happens again! 👀😅

Aaaaand I'm listening to it right now. Love it!

These are probably the best friends one will ever have!

Love the messianic imagery, Kay! I can picture it so clearly in my mind too.

Those men are about to get microwaved, aren't they. 😅 It's always fun when the tables turn, and the Shrimp cooks *you* instead.

Before Shrimp Boy had a proper name (but is weird all the same 😅).

Mmm looks delish, Bunnypants!

#PretendPanel

I'm selfishly using this to mention that starting tomorrow, I'll be running a worldbuilding prompt game focused around a specific item's supply chain in your world called #Marchistics.

My pinned post has a better breakdown of what to expect. 😁

Happy building. ⚒️

Love the deconstruction and subsequent analysis of something we take for granted every day.

And, of course, the footnotes! 😁

It required some translation on the part of Manayka and Atosho to convey the issue: They couldn’t see how to make a gasoline engine be efficient at varying speeds. An engine that worked for walking speed would be horribly wasteful at highway velocity. How could ‘cars’ possibly be practical? I could tell they thought they’d found a genuine technical inconsistency. Atosho had gotten even more reserved. “And when you stop?” Nerugo glared. “Eh-na-gee-na must turn. All etomokeh. Or else fail.” She was nearly as good as the gynologists at dumbing down her vocabulary. I held up a hand. “Can me show-doh? Inside-doh of haikuhchee?” Saloro drew a crude picture of the guts of one of their vehicles. I finally grasped the problem–they had an electric motor for each wheel.[1] “I see. I see,” I blurted, somewhat desperately.[2] “‘Engine’ has…” Crap. I didn’t know the word. I grabbed a ‘pencil’ and sketched a couple of meshing gears. “…‘gears.’ Different size for different… fastness.” A burst of insight. “Also, ‘neutral.’” I mimed pulling my hands apart. “Not… touch. Engine just turn, not make ‘car’ go. ‘Idle.’” I moved one hand in a circle, kept the other one still. [1] In fact, the motors are built into the wheels. The ‘tire’ (which is of course not rubber, but I don’t understand what it is made of; best I can gather, it’s a flexible ceramic?) is like a half-shell around the motor, and can be replaced separately. [2] The actual word was “vabihgeewu,” ‘received.’ As in ‘I have picked up the signal.’

#WIPSnips 28: walk

Explaining internal combustion engines to a timeline where they never arose is... tough. On the face of it, they're ridiculously inefficient.

"And she passed out." 😂

I can picture it so vividly. So the key, it seems, is to swear up a storm and only THEN use the crystals. *Takes notes.*

#Febchantment 28

One of my favorite magic scenes from #Atlantis Book 1 is the moment Kena finally uses his crystal for the first time, after struggling for a long time to get it 🧡

Good stuff Zeggy!

Hits hard! 😓

Yeah they always get stuck halfway when I try, and one ends up drooping. 😅

Wow Nush this is absolutely STUNNING! The attention to detail with the armour is top notch too, I love how intricate it is.

She looks like a Valkyrie!

Awww baby Aiaxi? Someone really should draw that! 😁 Wonderful snip as always.

And that bit where he "asks in a small voice" just about broke my heart! 😭

Mireia & Kena are learning about the Truth Spell, & while interrogating Kena under its influence, she accidentally uncovers a bit of his trauma 😢

Keep up the good work man!

I'm enjoying your writing style very much! 👏

Good morning everyone and everyTHING! "Thing" is my most overused word in Frogbo—for today's #WIPSnips alone there's like four instances of it!!
Our humble narrator gives a hands-on example of how falling forever feels. 🌠⏱️

It's brilliant how you conduct the tension in the scene with Lennie's straps. How it ebbs and flows until Micah evens it out eventually. 👏
