From the fun snowball fight scene. Here, Beetie (one of Onion's daughters) lays out the rules

(Don't worry, there won't be any kissing. Shallot and Onion don't let that happen).

A sword swung at her, & she dodged with ease, snatched one from the scabbard of another distracted knight, blocking yet another blow coming from the
opposite side, only for the tip of a fourth to find her chest.

Name a Song you can Sing from Memory.

I wish I COULD sing Memory from Memory, just for this, but instead I'll say Fairytale by Alexander Rybak.

Josie is sad and he's going to cheer her up. Probably by running into the house, but it'll put a smile on her face.

A Mollusk Among Man by Stephen Coghlan Book Review ​A Mollusk Among ManΒ is a story of stripped identity and a world that refuses to acknowledge a person's right to being true to their own self.

New arc review for A Mollusk Among Man by Stephen Coghlan! A never ending battle to attain a sense of life, more survival than living. Roca’s emotional and painful admission of the past and life taken from them will devastate readers.

Hi! I'm Cheyn, a versatile student artist based on the Philippines.

I'm currently saving funds for the production of some short films, including LENTE, an upcoming short animated film while saving up for gadget upgrades.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Lacrima Mundi's review of Salt & Ashes Although it's a bit hard to categorise Thanh's writing, there is no doubt their poetry-essay-philisopical-poetic-writing poems and musing are splendid. I'm not sure who'll agree, but to some degree s...

New review for:

Thanh Dinh: Salt & Ashes - Poetry From the Abyss, 4[.5] ⭐

Hard to categorise poetry-essay-philisopical-poetic-writing musings.

Located somewhere between Fried, Cioran, and Nietzsche.

If [queer] philosophical is your thing: try it!

Echoes Chapter 46 is up. It's bloody. And loud. Can a chapter be loud? This chapter is definitely loud. Scarlett's gotten herself into trouble- and Clint is caught in the middle. Enjoy!
