Happy Storyteller Saturday!

Happy Storyteller Saturday!

In the world of your WIP, what character would you say undergoes the most drastic transformation (in personality, character arc, worldviews, or even appearance)? What character doesn't? Would you say the setting/environment surrounding them (including the people around them) had something to do with this change or was it something completely internal to them?

Thank you so much for the question, @mysticstarlightduck , this was a lot of fun to answer!

I would say that my greatest character transformation is my main character Elva, by far. Without spoiling too much she goes through some amazing hardships several times that rock her worldviews fully. Her character arc is all about trust so it's kind of a given but it's cool to have figured out where and why and especially how it changes. And her appearance is something that takes a couple different severe turns too. Right at the beginning and right at the end she gets a new look apiece.

Her friend Tholi stays the most steady through the whole story. He is a stubborn bastard of a sireling who refuses change to the point where it... I was going to give everything away there but thought against it as I was writing.

As for setting it has everything to do with these changes or their lack. Both the location and company they keep has a lot to do with how they develop.

Normalize going into people’s ask boxes and ask them random ass questions.

Tumblr used to be so much fun with all the asks (anonymous or otherwise), and we need to bring those back, especially now that we finally have a half-decent blocking feature in place.

Ask people things! Message them! Don’t let tumblr inbox die! It’s one of the features that made tumblr tumblr.

Our Own Original (OOO) Incorrect Quotes Tag!

I was tagged by @rickie-the-storyteller for this one! Thank you so much for the tag (:

I seriously hope I did this right.

Here's my version of your incorrect quote!

(This gives me strong Rylisan & Caladin banter vibes, because Rylisan Fenrith is such an awkward, uptight, and serious guy who had difficulty grasping human sense of humor, especially at the beginning of the series, and Caladin not only used to take nearly nothing seriously when they first met but he adored making Rylisan nearly lose his mind at him. This quote is legit something he could actually say, I'm not even joking LMAO)

Rylisan: Caladin, you shouldn't call for help unless you genuinely need it. I'm happy to answer questions, as long as they are relevant to what we're doing.

Caladin: Alight, Sir. Oh! I have another question, now - what is a pie, in mathematics?

Rylisan: Uh-

Caladin: Like, this sheet asks you to give your answer in terms of a pie, and I have no clue what that is…

Rylisan: Not "a pie," Caladin. Pi. It's a constant. We've been over this...

Caladin: How many kinds of Pi are there?

Rylisan: What?

Caladin: My mum makes the best Pi. She does a great apple Pi, chicken Pi, shepherd's Pi… (sigh) God. I miss her. I miss her Pi…

Rylisan: Caladin, please listen-

Caladin: How can you give a number in terms of Pi, Sir? And what Pi do I need to give it in terms of? How do I work out what type of Pi to give it in terms of?

(Rylisan has no idea what to say to that)

Here's your incorrect quote, to whomever shall do this next!

From my WIP Realms of Loss - (I refuse to give context to this quote LMAO, figure it out!)

Person A - ... And that's how I almost burned down the entire castle when I was 12 after my attempt at the kitchen rafters to sneak a plate of cupcakes nearly toppled three torches onto the oak floors!

Person B - (blinks, silent, reconsidering his entire list of life choices up to this point) ...

Person A - Aw, c'mon, how come that doesn't make you smile even a little?

Person B - (drags hands over face with a groan) The only thing I got from this two-hour-long conversation is that you're a feral maniac with no regard for safety.

(there's an awkward silence and the conversation shifts to other matters. After a while, Person B hums, curiosity winning over, before genuinely asking, slightly confused.)

Person A - ...

Person B - ...

Person B - Though there's the one thing I would like to know ... what are cupcakes?

Person A - How do you not...? Oh you're going to love this concept.

Tagging! @lassiesandiego @elshells @crowandmoonwriting @cabbojage @tabswrites @exquisitecrow, @clairelsonao3, @writernopal, @liv-is, @doublegoblin, @oh-no-another-idea, @sm-writes-chaos, @steh-lar-uh-nuhs, @jay-avian, @hrmkingizzy

What if I made a Writeblr tag game where we turn lines of dialogue from our own stories into an incorrect quote for the next person to insert their characters into. Is that anything
