I have alot of homework, but... storm it this is way more fun
Name: Nova
Age (12-18): 17
Gender: (rah do i have to) gal
Preferred District: district 11, I don't really have a preference though
Alliance (yes or no?): YEah (she's extremely loyal so she'd be totally susceptible to being dramatically betrayed in a tragic way as a cool plot point. just puttin it out there) ( @Justice_Magician if you end up making a character do you wanna form an alliance? we were roommates in the gravity falls rp before it died and you're awesome to rp with (and in general). if no that's all good
)
Skills: She's really strong and does some martial arts. She knows some stuff about edible plants and camouflage but nothing about hunting.
Personality: Nova gets angry easily and is not good with details and caution, but she also smiles a lot, laughs easily and adores her friends. She's very loyal and mostly logical, though she can freeze up at important times. She's pretty pissed at the government about the hunger games but she's glad that it's her who is there and not any of the other girls from her district. She thinks she can win and get home to her friends and family.
Preferred Weapon: Brass knuckles and a knife which she can throw in an emergency (though only with about 50% accuracy. her strong suit is beating people up, so she'd rather use the knife in close quarters.)
Other: Appearance wise, she's tall, 5'11, with short blond hair, slightly crooked nose with a small scar, and freckles from the sun. She's pretty muscular. Her favorite color is orange and her favorite flowers are marigolds.

@The Wandering Wizard, I wrote the beginning of her story! I'll hopefully write more tomorrow, depending on how life goes.
Liz takes a deep breath. “The only place to start is as a child, I suppose. I was always a little different than the other children. Or maybe I wasn’t, but I showed it more than they ever did, at least. I saw patterns in every life, and I always got so fixed on things…”
When I was about 8, my parents put me in charge of one of our piglets. I still had my other chores, of course, but the piglet was mine. If I didn’t take care of it, no one would. I focused so completely on that pig. I gave it love, attention, everything my 8 year old mind could conceive that a piglet needed. Eventually, my parents killed the pig. I cried. It’s foolish, of course; no farmer’s child cries at the death of a farm animal. But I did. My father said that all children cry the first time, that he was sorry he’d given me that pig to look after. But do you know, even through my tears, I remember being distinctly grateful?
That, more than anything, is what I felt was different about me. I felt the pain, I wept at having something I loved taken from me, but I was also glad that I’d had the chance to lose it. Isn’t that odd? I hated the pain, didn’t want it to ever come back, but I also saw how I changed after feeling it. I saw how I grew. And I wanted that growth. When I was nine, my mother died. I didn’t stop crying for days. My brothers and father all tried to cheer me up, but nothing they did changed it. When I was ready, I got up. I smiled. And I thanked my mother’s spirit for giving me strength, even as I longed to have her back.
Several months later, a trader came to our village. He had a strange item with him that I’d never seen before. It was a book, the first one I ever saw. With the help of the innkeeper’s wife, a sweet woman who was more educated than the rest of our town together, I learned to read it. The power I found in those words was incredible. Once again, I found that I had given myself to something that could not last forever. My father, concerned at how distant I had become, learned what I was doing. But this new love of mine didn’t end in disappointment. I was 9 years old, but he sat me down and spoke to me like an equal. He told me of a place I could learn to read more books, learn to have more than a farm. He told me he would never make me stay in a place I had outgrown.
And yet, my heart still broke, for I knew he was right. I had outgrown our little farm, our old wooden fence, our barn, our fields. He told me to work for what I wanted, and promised me that he would stand by me wherever I went. I was grateful; of course I was grateful. I was a child, and I had recently learned, through my book, that the parents of most heroes abandoned them, died, left them. I thought I was a hero then, of course I did. Is there any child that doesn’t fancy themself a hero? Oh, but I don’t mind. I found something better.
The innkeeper’s wife taught me all she knew and then some. I took the money I needed from traders for years as they passed through our village. When I turned 16, I left, went on to the Academy. And it was there that I met Ian…yes, boy, Iandenn Marsvall. Don’t look so shocked! I know you know his name. Everyone knows his name the same way they know mine. If it surprises you that we were friends, then I ought to stop talking now. No? As I thought. Give me a moment, then, to collect my thoughts.
Damn I don’t have any context but that was really cool to read… you’re seriously an amazing writer and storyteller, I can tell just from that. Gonna read more and get more context :D

Hey y’all… I know I said I wasn’t gonna really be on here anymore but I still don’t have an Instagram or anything for my art (and I have absolutely been lurking in creators corner to see people’s amazing creations) so uhhhhh haha yeah hi edema can I post my inktober here?
Nice art btw @edema rue! I love your nails also
keep it up!
day 1: dream
SpoilerI did a character from my second favorite book series, The Locked Tomb, who has to do with dreaming (no spoilers tho). The eyes made it weird so I scribbled them out lol
idk how to draw chains :D I inked this at 11:30 instead of doing my ap gov homework (I rushed through it and turned it in right at 11:59 tho, we’re good) and it was originally supposed to just be a sketch to practice for a bigger full page one, but it got to, yknow, 11:30 and this was all I had *shrug*
here’s it before inking and some editing:Spoiler
(you can see why I dislike the eyes lol)
ah crap I just realized I should have done someone from the dreamer trilogy. That would make way more sense for the prompt

If that is not the swag box I will take it upon myself to create those pictures. Actually even if that is the swag box. THERE WILL BE PICTURES MADE OF RENARIN AND RLAIN HOLDING HANDS THIS MONTH.

I just read the Screwtape Letters.
Awesome book--- if a bit preachy at times. The concept is actually hilarious, for Christians and non-christians alike.
That's a fun one

haven't been on here in ..... a while lol!!!! i stopped drawing regularly when i started high school a couple years ago cause busy, but i've been doing art more consistently lately and wanted to share <3!!
my sister got an 8-pack of poscas for Christmas and i stole them:
none of this stuff had references be warned!!
take one (not good, first time using poscas + it's unfinished)
take two
(12/24 is meant to be December 2024 but it's rather confusing lol)
take three
idk why this box is here I can't delete it for some reason : / poscas are fun!!! highly recommend.
a little bit of other stuff:
crayon man (not crazy good +no reference but I like him):
lazy self portrait (quirky low quality Chromebook photo cause I lost my phone) (eye reveal??)
ignore the chin + the ear (in my reference pic my ear and the part of the neck near it was covered by phone so i rly just gave up :-;)
Anyway hi!!!! I haven't been here in a long time and idk who's still active (like out of the people I used to interact with) but I 100% credit this site with starting me out in art and helping me grow my confidence (especially King Oreo, iykyk). I've never been consistent about art or drawing but having this place to post to when I did it was really amazing. I'll always be grateful to everyone who ever commented and gave me even the smallest bit of encouragement (especially when my skills were atrocious) because I am positive that without this place and its support, i'd have never started drawing. I'm still not great at art but it's something i enjoy and feel like i have potential to improve in and it's thanks to this site <3!
not to get all sentimental in some random necro post after not being active for a year or so lol. but doing art again reminded me of how i got started :D
(no one's gonna read this haha)
