Wren is still flying to her destiny @secretsandhushedwhispers

[tothefreedomland]

Just about your OC's post. I do agree (because hey, it's fiction, it isn't real, and nobody should EVER be made to feel bad about something that makes them happy), but the 'stereotype' of mary-sue etc exists because most of them ARE self-insert, boring, samey, Bella Swan type characters that are only entertaining to the author. And hey, that's okay. But the stereotype simply exists because it is actually true. And that's okay also.

I don’t know where you’ve been looking, but the majority of OCs I’ve seen are not mary-sues. But to know if a character is a self-insert, then you have to know the mun very well. Or they outright tell you in some cases. And that’s okay because some people don’t have the creativity to make one.

Personally, I don’t think this stereotype is true for more than half of OCs I’ve seen. But true or not, don’t judge.

I know none of this probably didn’t mean to be insulting, but be careful with your choice of words. Calling a character “boring” or “samey” is extremely insulting unless that’s how they were intended to be.

hey! if ur ever looking for information on my character (whether i haven’t finished/uploaded my stats or bio pages or it’s just information you’d like to know) you can always 100% shoot me a message asking about anything! if you need something cleared up about my muse, ask me. if you wanna learn more about my muse, ask me. if something is confusing you or you just want to know more - ask me! i’m always available to answer questions about my muse because the odds are i’m probably still figuring them out. no matter how long i’ve had them for, there’s always room for character development and finding out more about them. there are some things even i haven’t figured out about my muse, so always feel free to ask me if you wanna know anything.

    “Could care less about who actually kills the people, as long as it gets me a good paying wage. I’ve got two properties to pay for and a family to feed.” He shrugs nonchalantly, like it would be no deal if he didn’t have the money.

    “But let’s be truly honest. Once they’re dead it’s not fun anymore. Unless you have necrophilia--”

it was really fun when I did the challenge few months ago so I decided to do it again, this time with my own palettes :)

I’ll do my best but I probably won’t be able to do everything

I don’t know what I have to draw. So maybe you can help me. Select the character from fandom which I mentioned in my tags and I’ll draw it. My ask box is open. ^-^

       “Well,that sucks the fun out of everything,             but we could always find out who can fly                the highest && the fastest without killing each other.

[tothefreedomland]

    “I’m not a very fun person, I’ll be honest. That’s just how investigators are.

                                         “All serious, no fun.”

    “I’d be up for that much. I’m good with anything that has to do with flying. That’s fun. Staring at dead bodies? Not s’much.”

      “Is that a challenge,           Because it might be my wings wrecking               you.”

    “I’d personally prefer not to find out. Though I do think my wings are rather strong for my size.”

    “But my wings could still wreck you.”

-:{ So I was going to draw Freedom during my open periods but I seemed to have brought my tablet and not my pen.

I would use one of the wacoms here at school but then I’d have to install an extra driver and the wacom website isn’t very good about that. }:-

    The birdman groans and shuffles through some papers on a table in the corner of a cafe. The papers were for several different cases he had to choose from. He didn’t want to any of them. They were all so simple to figure out... Why did they need him for half of these cases?

    He puts the papers away in the order he would do them in, hardest to easiest. The harder cases were typically the most urgent.

    Freedom takes a sip of his coffee and looks at his son sitting across from him. “What kind of sad life do I lead?”

watching the people who refused to play the spinoffs being confused about everything in the KH3 trailer

[dudewrath-the-exalted]

hey bro I canot invest my time and money into buying a DS, a 3DS, a PSP, a GBA, a 2005 Verizon flipphone, and a ColecoVision; so if the key plot points of this game happen to come from Kingdom Hearts: Echelon of Inversion/360 Degrees Double Kickflip Dancing All Night for the Atari 2600, I don’t know what to tell you.

[tothefreedomland]

There’s a beautiful thing called Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 HD Re: Mix with four games and two theatrical stories all on one system. The only game you’re missing after that is Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance which you can either read up on, watch someone else play it, or get a 3/2DS to play it. \o/

He felt bad for Wren, the Atlantean really seemed to want to be friends with Civil but was making up his mind that it wouldn’t happen. “I’m sure it’ll all turn out if he’s given enough time. Civil’s a really nice and caring guy, but he lets his shyness get in the way of that and stops thinking about the other person. Once he remembers that you’re a person too I’m positive he’ll be friends with you.”

As Freedom went over everything Isaac had asked, the researcher made himself comfortable to sit and listen. The crystals sounded like an interesting part of Atlantis’ culture and was excited when Wren passed him his crystal to look at. It had a soft blue glow and he could only imagine the significance of these stones to the people here.

There did seem to be an abundance of water in the area, making it reasonable that the diet’s staples would be fish. He had to wonder if it was leaking in somewhere from the ocean, since they did have dive below it to reach Atlantis. “I see, so I take it the forests aren’t very safe. Or is it that the few bridges that are available are unable to handle heavy traffic?”

When Wren spoke of Kit Isaac soaked up everything. He really was curious about Wren’s and Kit’s species. Since they lived underground it made little sense for a humanoid bird species to evolve, but much of the vegetation had been different from what Isaac knew of. Was the local fauna the same?

“Yeah, I bet having his wings on his arms makes things difficult for him at times.” But, were they like a bat’s and left only the thumb free, or did he have proper human hands? “I hope things turn out well for him, it’d be a shame if his life is always going to be difficult.”

[tothefreedomland]

    Freedom tried to convince himself that Civil would eventually warm up to him. Isaac was his friend, right? So sure he could trust his word. The persistence was what he needed to feel better. It made him smile a bit. All he did to acknowledge Isaac was nod in his direction.

    “The forests are relatively safe.” He shrugged. “We’ve just had no way of getting out of here and we didn’t need the bridges unless we needed to hunt in this area, which is very rare. But the most that the bridges can handle are a few people at a time. They’re quite long and the material is old-- you could imagine. They’ve only been changed a couple times from the centuries I’ve lived here.” They could break. But Free knew that they were quite durable. They could carry at least the group across.

    Wren was getting quite upset talking about Kit in such a negative way. If he was always going to be like this, it could affect Kit. He needed more positivity in his life. “He’s slowly figuring things out. It would help if we had his father around. He died before the boy was even born. One day he said he would go out into this very forest to hunt and never returned. We figured he died after days of searching.” Freedom sighed.

    He lied down on his leaves and closed his eyes. He would not sleep that night. “I’ve made it this far; almost two thousand years. I might as well keep on going.”

    Somehow he needed to distract himself. He was interested in Isaac’s world and if it were the same as he remembered. There was barely anything to remember at all except traces of memories, sketches and notes he had. Freedom busied his hands by stroking the feathers on the back of his wings and asked, “So what about your world? Tell me what it’s like.”

“Heh, heh,” Isaac laughed sheepishly. “Lots of the crew says the same about me, so we can be bad company together.” It was better than sitting alone at night. Civil was lucky enough to have a few other engineers and scientists who valued what he brought to the table. Isaac was just the guy reading a dusty old book.

“Ah, no it’s not like that!” Isaac started waving his hands around to draw Wren’s attention. “Civil’s practically scared of his own shadow! Why, the first time he saw me he looked like he was going to cry, probably because this big, 6’2” giant came up and started talking to him randomly! He’ll warm up in no time, I assure you!” Or, Isaac hoped that would be the case. Sure Civil had warmed up to him just fine, but would he be able to get used to Wren and his wings.

With his tent set up he unrolled his sleeping bag and lit a lantern to go over the Shepard’s journal again before Wren spoke. “That’s fine, I have sleeping problems myself, so I don’t mind talking for a bit.”

Looking upwards Isaac took a minute to think of a few questions. “Well, what is Atlantean culture like? What kinds of festivals or holidays do you celebrate? What types of foods do you eat during them? What foods do you eat the rest of the time?”

After listening to Wren speak of a bit, Isaac got curious about something else. “Do you mind if I ask about your family? You mentions you’re not like the others, and I also want to hear a little more about your son, if you don’t mind.” This was one thing he would have loved to be able to ask people from the past cultures he studied, ‘what is your family like?’ Sadly with anthropology that is only something that can be answered through deductions, but you never got a feel for a person’s daily life.

[tothefreedomland]

    Isaac’s comment didn’t make him feel any better. It actually made him feel a bit worse. But they were both bad company so it canceled out in a way, didn’t it? Still... Some people have warmed up to Freedom so maybe the same will come to Isaac.

    But the hybrid was still doubting that Civil would ever be comfortable around him. He was a scary, unknown being to him with giant wings, claws and a. . . fake tail. Isaac was at least human so it would be easier to get used to him. That made it sound as if Wren was not human at all, however. “I’m not so sure. We’d have to see how it plays out between us. It’d be okay if we don’t get along I just... would be a bit upset.” Like he already was.

    The questions were a good distraction from their previous conversation. Hopefully they wouldn’t return to the topic.

    “What’s the whole culture like? That’s such a broad question. I could answer that so many ways. So I’ll answer the others first.

    “There aren’t many holidays per say, but we do have a lot of ceremonies. Like when a baby is born, they receive a crystal. All of it’s inhabitants have one.” Freedom picks up his pike and points it over Isaac’s shoulder, making sure not to hit him. Tied by the arrowhead was a necklace with a glowing blue crystal. “This is what almost all of them look like.” He allows Isaac to take it if he wants or places it down otherwise.

    “We almost always have fish and seafood. It’s a staple in their diet. Otherwise there are lots of herbs that we get from the surrounding forests. But only some gatherers like me come here now.”

    He shrugs. Those were easy enough to answer. But the next question that comes up isn’t. He doesn’t want to talk about his family... Not if it meant talking about Shadow... Isaac seemed only interested in Kit for now, however. He could explain that much.

    “Kit, he’s older. He just turned ten recently. His wings are attached to his arms instead of on his back like mine. He just turned ten years old... Kit’s not exactly normal so he has a hard time doing regular, everyday things. It’s been getting better but I don’t know how he’ll develop so it could get a lot worse. And he can’t fly yet, he’s too young.”

As they all headed to the campfire Isaac saw that Wren was giving Civil ample space as well as making his wings less noticeable. He probably felt bad about scaring him. As much as Isaac wanted to comfort Wren, they really did need to focus on the issue at hand first.

Wren’s suggestion to leave the machines behind made him ‘hmmm’. The Sargent was not going to be happy with that news, but this was for the sake of discovery and they really had no other options. The Sargent would just have to settle with what he got.

Civil looked nervous about giving that news to his superiors, so Isaac leaned over and patted his back.

Wren continued explaining what was and wasn’t possible. “You have a son?” Isaac asked excitedly. He loved kids! Being a father was his dream! “Oh, uh, sorry to get off topic.” He cleared his throat before speaking again. “We wouldn’t ask you to carry anyone or anything across. We’ve posed enough of an imposition on you by having you guide us into the city. Right Civil?” He gently elbowed his friend who had gone quiet.

“R-right!”

“Alright, I better get my own tent sent up.” Isaac sighed as he stood. “Wren would you mind keeping me company? Bye Civil!” He waved before heading off.

“Don’t lose sleep over how Civil was acting. He’s really shy and fearful by nature. When the expedition started I couldn’t even get a word out of him. I’m sure he’ll warm up to you with enough time.” The researcher explained as he headed over to the area where Wren had made his bed. Since the other crew members were less welcoming of Isaac, he figured that camping with Wren was the best option.

[tothefreedomland]

    Wren avidly waited for a reply, wondering if what he said was alright. Were the machines used for other things too? He didn’t know since the machines were completely foreign to him. He didn’t even know what they were called! Perhaps he spoke too soon. Though Isaac seemed alright with this plan. It wasn’t like the tools wouldn’t be damaged in any way since the only things living in the general vicinity were the Atlanteans and some local animals.

    The excitement that was hinted in Isaac’s voice made Freedom smile. “Yes, he’s almost a teenager now. He’s not that young anymore, but he’s still got a long life ahead of him.” That was assuming that Kit would live as long as Freedom.

    “Honestly, I wouldn’t mind having the machines in the city, but they might frighten and pique too much of an interest in the locals. And it would also take too much time to build a sturdy bridge to carry them over.” A couple months at the least. That gorge was by no means small.

   He was glad that they came to a swift conclusion. The sun had set and it was about time to get to sleep. As Wren headed over to his bed he heard Isaac’s request. “I would not mind at all! But most might say I’m not terribly good company to keep.” There were reasons for that. Reasons he did not like to discuss. He could get quite restless during the night and have a hard time sleeping, so he could wake Isaac up by accident. Wren decided to keep that to himself for now.

    The hybrid continued to keep his wings lowered despite Isaac trying to cheer him up. He was both too lazy to keep them up and still feeling a little guilty. “I do hope he becomes more comfortable around me soon. I hate having people be so scared of me just because I have wings and claws-- It’s not my fault.” Wren sighs, a little upset. Before finding Atlantis, people would think that he was some sort of demon. People were terrified of him and he was terrified of them.

    Wren growls to himself and lies down in his small nest of leaves. He shifts many times into different positions. One time he tried curling up, he tried lying on his stomach or on his back again. Nothing seemed comfortable enough to let him sleep.

    He sits up after only trying to sleep for a few moments and turns to Isaac. “I may not be able to sleep for a couple of hours. If you have any questions in the meantime, I’ll answer them. There’s not much else for us to do.”
