I get the idea that Kei was in love with Rhian, but that raises an issue.
Namely that, with implications that Aric and Lesso and Dovey were gay or at least some type of queer, there is a serious bury-the-gay problem in these books. I would really love for an actually confirmed queer character, because so far all we’ve had is an offhand remark…[Read more]
I don’t understand that though. If Kei was in love with Rhian, wouldn’t he be bi, not gay because he had a crush on Sophie? I do think the characters who are part of the LGBTQ+ community are in a bit of a grey zone though. It’s unclear what many of the characters identify as, and if one relationship is just a friendship or more.
Though I would agree with the representation, which is extremely lacking for several communities in this book.
Omg I’m so so glad I’m not the only one who thinks this
i respect and love soman’s writing so much, but as someone in the community, it’s incredibly frustrating for him to offhandedly say that couples like Hestadil are actually dating, when everything they do could be interpreted as platonic! I genuinely will be a little annoyed and off-put if the…[Read more]
I’m not a member of the community myself, though my best friend is. I think that almost all of the couples are underdeveloped (excluding Tagatha). Everyone else is seemingly excluded. In fact, I’m pretty sure there are only 4 queer characters in the entire series. I know people ship Japheth and Aric, but I see them more as brothers? It just see…[Read more]
I mean, Agatha kissed Sophie at the end of the first book which gave us all hope and then he kind of chickened out and made them sisters?!?! Seriously?
The blurred word is ru.bbish (no clue why it’s starred.)
There are loads of characters, so more than 4 isn’t any sort of stretch.
Plus, there’s magic and fingerglows and talking cats, so why shouldn’t there be a higher proportion of queer characters? Especially since there have been no queer characters at all for centuries?
I’m not saying there shouldn’t be more queer characters. If there were, that’s great. I’m saying that to have more then a few queer characters, especially in children’s books can be frowned upon in the industry, and it often ends in editors persuading the author to change a character to make the book more profitable. There are loads of character…[Read more]
@Sapphy , i would agree with that. He still says that Agatha is Sophie’s one true love, but she already has one, and because they are ‘sisters’ it would be strictly platonic. And then, to push it further, he puts Sophie in a relationship with Rhian. There’s not to much of a reason for that except the industry. (This is the point I am talking…[Read more]
Yeah, but at the same time nothing will change if everyone is scared of the market. Especially with authors that sell well, changing the world should probably rank higher than keeping some bigoted readers.
Yeah. It will probably turn out like that, someone just needs to try harder.
Can y’all chill? Soman will write the characters that belong in his story. He’s not going to make someone queer for marketing purposes. How about you wait until OTK is released to pass judgement? I understand you want representation, but personally, I want to see well written representation that feels like it belongs in the story, not just some…[Read more]
@theginger
I didn’t feel like anyone wasn’t being calm. The thing is, what Soman has done so far is queer-baiting. That’s the fact of it. This is proven by the fact that everything that the queer couples have done, especially hestadil, can be interpreted as platonic, and have been interpreted as platonic multiple times by many people. None of us…[Read more]
I wasn’t particularly fond of the fact that he seemed to be setting up a relationship between Sophie and Agatha and then pulled back by making them sisters. Of course, it could be interpreted as platonic, but kissing isn’t a very platonic gesture, especially in fairy-tales.
i think this pretty much sums up my thoughts. favorited this post. the bury-your-**** trope is vvv vv old, and to top it off is the fact that the only confirmed textually gay characters are two literal murdering psychopaths (not counting hestadil who were confirmed as a couple through word of soman outside of the books).
You’re write about the psychopaths..
Does anyone wonder if they have psychology services in the kingdoms?? It seems like their solution is to throw them all in the same school for misguided children…
I haven’t read the books in a while, who are the psychopaths again?
Ooop just realised that I’m super dumb.
you’re not dumb @ all bel i swear ahahaha.
@/theginger i have no idea, they don’t see to have the equivalent of any modern-day doctors either so doubtful ahaha. we’ll see tho, maybe soman might write smth in otk
Did they… did they censor the word gays?
wow, this is honestly such a great post, I favourited it.
I think that Sophie and Agatha were definitely made out to be a couple. It would’ve been very easy for Soman to make it a cheek kiss or forehead kiss, but he didn’t. I think that even though Hestadil had been confirmed, it has only been confirmed outside of the book, which doesn’t do…[Read more]
If I could favourite your comment, I would 🙂
why thank you
I have to disagree. If the sexuality doesn’t fit, don’t write it. A lot of the characters in an rp of mine are straight? Why? It fits them.
then you have to question yourself as an author and why you’re limiting your stories to fit a very small minded view of what a person should be. You have to remember that your sexuality doesn’t necessarily effect your personality, you can have any range of characters who are lgbt, its more so your view of the character that limits their ability to…[Read more]
Did you not read my comment? Do not tell me what to do. I wrote SOME. If a character does not fit that I don’t do it. I will not misrepresent my creations. I think you copy and pasted. It is not my go-to it just fits them. We do have bi characters honey you know nothing of my rp. If it doesn’t fit I don’t force it in.
You are the one who needs to…[Read more]
Chill it is just for the bios, they aren’t going to start screaming about this.
Your opinions are extremely harmful to lgbt peoples.
We don’t have a reason for being lgbt, we just are. We didn’t have to be hit on the head as a kid or grow up in a queer community to be lgbt. Making a character lgbt will not dilute the quality of your character, or require you to add any other personality traits. You don’t have to have a…[Read more]
@gwen-elodie How is that harmful? And how does that have the SLIGHTEST thing to do with the current discussion? You misunderstood me a lot and seemingly refuse to admit to that.
@gwen-elodie there is always a reason. Maybe you are gay because you simply do not like any other gender. Maybe there is more of an attraction to that gender. Maybe you had a bad experience with the other gender. You are never one way ‘just because’.
Guys CHILL! This is an 8+ book. This does not define LGBT+
except for the fact children that young won’t understand these kinds of nuance? yes it doesn’t define the lgbt community, but it adds to the plethora of negative or poorly represented elements of lgbt representation in stories, which in turn fuels the world’s view of the lgbt community being a violent and immoral group.
@gwen-elodie I do not really want to interact with you as you were unkind to friend of mine but here we go: this book does not make or break a child’s perspective on the lgbt+. There is no negative portrayal. It is a story that you are reading into too much and in every story there must be a Villain. And Hester and Ani were both strong, resilient…[Read more]
But there are queer children, there are children with queer families, so why shouldn’t there be queer books for children? People’s heterosexuality rarely has anything to do with plot (at least it is not vital that the person is straight) so why should their homo/bi/pan/asexuality need to be vital to the plot?
I never wrote ANYTHING about the plot. I wrote that if it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t fit. There are no children with a sexuality. Children may feel a strong connection to one in particular but they cannot fully label themselves until a more mature age such as 13-15.
If it doesn’t fit don’t force it.
…Cocostar, are you part of the LGBTQ+ Community? If not, I think you should maybe educate yourself more on it before making the statements you make, and if you are part of the community, I think you may just be a little confused? Hestadil was not good representation. I love them, but they were PURE queer-baiting and barely acknowledged as a…[Read more]
@woodsbeyondreaper I do not need to educate myself on the subject. In my opinion no 8 year old will read this book and think of lgbtqia+ as bad people. They are not going to delve as deep into the book as you have. And lol, this is for character bios. And for a Q&A. I WILL ONLY MAKE A CHARACTER GAY IF IT FITS. There, as you seem to have been…[Read more]
Did I comment about 11 year olds? No. I commented about 8 year olds. There is a 3 year difference.
Cocostar, the heck do you mean you “do not need to educate yourself on the subject”? There are a lot of reasons that pretty much EVERYCREATURE needs to educate themselves on this subject. And considering the things you’ve been saying in all your comments on this post, which everycreature else here has tried to debunk, there’s a LOT you don’t seem…[Read more]
@boomboompancakes of COURSE I need to educate myself on the subject! My computer, once again, glitched (I will be getting a new one). Either that or I phrased myself incorrectly. I heartily apologise if I gave on=ff that impression. I LOVE to learn and so that would be very out of character.
*off
I wasn’t rude so I have no idea why you feel the need to be. I again ask if you are in the LGBTQ+ community. If you’re not, you can’t really form opinions on the things you have because you haven’t lived through the way things affect us. I didn’t delve deeply into the book at all. I just read the books and saw that the most evidently gay…[Read more]
I wasn’t rude? It’s just that you are judging my rp and you know basically nothing about it. And I know you will assume my sexuality now but I would prefer not to talk about this online. It makes me more than a little uncomfortable as it is not the sort of thing I want to share on the site. Also it is not my characters who are straight. I think…[Read more]
I’m not misinformed. I am able to see who a character really is and Ani and Hester are really cute in my opinion. And no child is going to write paragraphs like these explaining their argument. But if you believe everyone to be of the same intelligence level as you from such a young age I suppose that is your choice.
@gilandriel
1) I am REALLY bad at portraying males so I did females. Please ignore the diversity bit-I was angry and confused and apologise. And for the sexualities I don’t want to misrepresent so I chose those that are more well know and what are some I could include then, for more diversity?
2) OMG I would NEVER force a kid into being straight.…[Read more]
And I completely agree with @/woodsbeyondreaper, Bri amd Gwen. Also I figuered out I wasn’t straight at 9, so there is no age when you figure out. You just are who you are.
You are clearly a bit misinformed about this, so go do some research. It will benifit you when making OCs, I promise.
Also your sexuality and personality are completely…[Read more]
You did not address your previous post. I never said you do not know. You do not know for SURE. I could argue that we never truly know our sexuality but I won’t and also I am going to respond as you keep saying I am homophobic-I’m not. Also I meant the character, not personality. Your personality can’t be gay, makes no sense.
*holds up clipboard*
the levels of ignorance are rising guys this doesn’t look good
That was kind of unnecessary but you do you.
lol unnecessary? you’re saying people aren’t born gay, you’re saying you don’t need to be educated, you’re assuming we’re discussing your writing when literally no one cares because we’re actually talking about writing as a whole, you’re acting as though being gay is a personality trait, you’re excusing your blatant homophobic tendencies with…[Read more]
No? I said you do not normally know your sexuality for sure at a young age. You are making me seem homophobic which is NOT the case. You are making all these assumptions based on a handful of misunderstood comments but if that’s what you want to do you for it.
You literally said, and I quote, that I should ‘Question myself as a writer’
you’re ignoring the information on the lgbt community GIVEN TO YOU BY LGBT PEOPLES. You really are trying to act like you know more than us on these things, even though majority of us are prominent members in the lgbt community and are constantly educating ourselves on these issues instead of pretending like they don’t matter
No, you are entitled to your opinion and I would never silence that. Also I am sorry if you got that impression. Lol I am just uncomfy talking about sexualities as a whole, but it IS an important topic, so I try.
Of COURSE you matter. How can you judge me from a few comments? Do you know that I am constantly trying to educate myself on every topic I can? No. Do you know that as of the next few weeks my focus is my community-the black community- getting justice? No. Do you know that this is giving me flashbacks to when I was cyberbullied for my skin colour?…[Read more]

Ok I’m not part of this convo but I NEED TO SAY THIS. Young kids can know their sexuality. There is no age you have to be. I’m thirteen but I’ve known I wasn’t straight for YEARS, and only didn’t know the right label because I DIDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY. IF I DID I WOULD HAVE KNOWN. THERE IS NO ******* AGE OR TIME THAT YOU…[Read more]
I know, I mean that normally (hope that does not offend you) you cannot really know for sure and I meant that is dating age, when you find out for sure. Also @alexofroom66 I am glad you knew so early on:)
Thank you Gwen Elodie, you’re said exactly what I would reply with. Thank you too Alex. Also CoCoStar, we’re not judging you on misunderstood comments.

So you DO need to educate yourself, you’re just refusing to…[Read more]
I also never said you can be changed back.
I also said that my computer glitched with that comment
That wasn’t my writing. The rp is mine it was other people’s writing. Also I put straight because they ARE. And I am not guilt-tripping you:) I just wanted to say I would never bully someone as I know what it is like.

What on Earth? I NEVER said that. I am NOT homophobic. Please do not swear.
What? I am so confused. Is this directed at me? I would NEVER say that as somebody has gone through racism which I can compare to your experiences ( I know it will never fully compare) and I am SO SO SO SO SOOOO SORRY if you thought that about me. This is the worst thing I have EVER been accused of.
You keep saying you’re not homophobic but you’re saying homophobic things and refusing to educate yourself or accept critique from the people who are literally the thing you are writing about.
I’m not and my computer glitched and did not include part of my sentence. And I am sorry if I came off that way. I really am not homophobic and I have every type of PDA equally. Romance makes me uncomfortable.
*hate
Okay so if romance makes you uncomfortable there’s no need to make the characters straight. Or you could make the asexual/aromantic.
And if your computer glitched, on what sentence did it glitch? What was the full sentence? You obviously know it left out part a sentence, so you know which sentence it was. Which was it?
Wait I will go look at the comment (I have a bad memory, sorry)
I know but then nobody is happy. And I actually don’t have a sexuality. I am straight/aromantic/asexual (A mixture I guess)
I wrote if it doesn’t fit their character or maybe even personality but that glitched
What do you mean nobody is happy? People love reading aro/ace characters. They need more representation. If you’re uncomfortable writing romance, write aroace characters. If you think no one will be happy with that, why is their default straight?
Also, that’s so harsh. You’re implying that aroace characters – and people – make people unhappy and they don’t enjoy reading about them.
As an Asexual Demiromantic Omniromantic, that hits hard. I would love to see more representation in our community but what your saying just pushes that down.
Okay, I’d like to point out that sexuality is not very related to romance. PDA makes you uncomfortable, sure, I’m sure many people would agree with you but where do you get the idea that PDA = sexuality? Sexuality is a way of identity, a way for some people to identify themselves. It is a matter of self-reflection and self-decision, and it does…[Read more]
cocostar, I’m curious as to what you mean by “if the character’s sexuality fits”. like, in case you weren’t aware, personality has nothing to do with sexuality, and neither is reliant on the other. believe it or not, not every gay person goes around waving a rainbow flag. having representation in stories is important and helps people feel…[Read more]
^^
I also want to point out that homophobia isn’t just being mean to a lgbtq+ person and making fun of them or harming them directly, homophobia can be saying things like “You’re only 11, you don’t know yet” or “you can’t know your sexuality until you’re older”. Those are both homophobic. So please educate yourself and watch what you say because s…[Read more]
I agree with what everyone else is saying. You may not be a homophobic human being as a whole, but what you are saying is homophobic and hurtful. Only once you recognize this can we move forward. Going through racism is difficult, but just because you are a minority of one group does not make you immune to discriminating against others. There is…[Read more]
I completely agree with you Flo, and all the points that y’all have made. The Spoe Debate Police Squad is going to try its very best to help.
*right, not write in the first paragraph
Sorry, but what about irl? The universe didn’t make me bi or non-binary because it ‘fit with my personality.’ I don’t ‘act bi’ or ‘act non-binary’. Your argument seems to imply that my personality decides my gender and sexuality orientation.
What you’re saying is homophobic, whether you realize it or not. It’s gross and biased, and you should do your research.
@cocostar
I think you’re a great person, but it would be really nice if you took the time to listen to people who aren’t cishet before trying to cancel us out.

Okay.
So here’s the thing.
Everyone is so obsessed with who is the rightful king, but neither of them have any sort of experience. I get that they are both sons of the previous king, but seriously? That’s some Death-Eater-level blood purism right there. Why would they make good rulers just because of their blood?
So I support the theory that in…[Read more]
I agree!
It would take a bit more work to change from a monarchy to a representative democracy or republic. The whole government of Camelot would have to change. Most rulers whose parents died don’t have experience, but that’s why they choose experienced advisors. Tedros could be a great King, but he hasn’t been given the chance.
I think that since we haven’t actually seen any of these experienced advisors, it would take a lot of work for them not to be seen as a sort of deus ex machina.
It’s also just not fair. Monarchies automatically exclude anyone who’s not born into the royal family and keep the cycle of poverty alive by not letting anyone else rule the country. If…[Read more]
True, but history was made of monarchies for a very long time. Most if not all the kingdoms in the woods are monarchies, so it would be odd that Camelot would change. Many people already in the series would be good on a council, so Tedros wouldn’t have to look very far. He basically has a trustworthy court in his friends. If Camelot were to become…[Read more]
I just think that if they truly claim to be Good, they have to give everyone equal opportunities, and that won’t happen with a monarchy. Every time they argue who deserves to be king because of their bloodline, it makes it harder and harder to believe that they are Good.
True, but the people who decided to take over, Rhian and Japeth, are at fault for that. No government gives everyone equal opportunities. Monarchies are very centralized, so the ruler has more responsibility to maintain control over their people. They decide everything. I don’t think that divides them into good or evil, it just depends on the…[Read more]
Governments are definitely more equal-opportunity than monarchies, though. And Tedros might have good intentions, but that doesn’t change the fact that there are people who will be more qualified but can’t do anything in a monarchy because they just can’t get the opportunities.
I just think that taking all the responsibility and power onto…[Read more]
I agree with you, I feel that everyone should be given a chance. Who knows, maybe the crown prince would make a horrible king and some random orphan would make an excellent one? You never know!
I agree as well, if Camelot wants to thrive than someone with leading experience, empathy and compassion should lead. This could be found in anyone of Camelot’s people. The idea of Monarchy follows many evil ideals, and not every gets a fair chance. However Tedros would make an amazing king, especially with Agatha and the rest of their friends…[Read more]
It would be cool if they had an election for king but it could cause lots of havoc. Also they two boys need to grow up a bit they are all trying to kill each over and it might end up with another big war.
i agree pretty much w/ @/theginger’s thing about monarchies. i’d say that the good monarchies in the woods r pretty much based off the monarchies of yore — firm belief in divine right of kings, inheritance etc. etc. also i think a bit of relation there to good’s traditionalism!!

^^^^^ agreeing with everything there
okay, so completely random but who else are in this? i see korean people so i just wanna know
“Korean people?”
I went on the doc and I saw 3 people with korean names, (The pen name of polar bear, the pen name of -i forgot- and the pen name of -i also forgot) and i’ve been seeing people with similar names so im just curious.
there aren’t any Korean names on the doc to my knowledge, can you be more specific?
No, I mean you know how it shows who’s on the doc at the time? Like with the profile picture and if you hover your cursor over it it shows the person’s name? Right now one person with a Korean name is on. I saw several people with similar names like that and I’m curious.
well they’re all just supposed to be anon since the doc has only been shared with one person
then how come there were 3 people on the doc? I’m extremely confused.
unless the doc has been shared with you, you stay anonymous, and the doc has only been shared with one person. All the people you saw were anonymous, meaning their usernames were something along the lines of ‘anonymous tiger’, so they really couldn’t have been Korean
Then why were their names IN Korean? I’m assuming they are because their names were.
maybe you had your page translated into Korean? Because I know for a fact the names weren’t in Korean
that can’t be possible, because I set my google account to English.
@gwen-elodie, I just went into my drive and it says the doc has been shared with me. is that why I’m seeing that? I didn’t get an email saying she/he shared the doc with me, but it’s in my shared with me documents.
okay well I’m not the owner of the doc and I can’t tell you what happened on your account, so imma stop trying to figure this out

wait no he commented on a thing two days ago
Aaaaaahhhhh sorry guys! I’ve been pretty busy with grading and some other RP stuff. I’m fine with starting whenever, I just need to get around to finishing my OC’s bio. Does anyone here have any complications?
Nope! Just give us a date!
(just a spoe here) I haven’t seen you in so long! hi!
Omg. I am a spoe too (stay undercover)
*I look at the both of you and narrow my eyes*
. . .
Spoes? What spoes? There are no spoes here
*I wink*
@thecoven4ever WHY OF COURSE NOT *winks*
*i start to evil laugh*
MWAHAHAHA—
*I realize that this is very suspicious and cut myself off mid laugh*
What a funny joke I just told myself! That’s why I was laughing so loudly! Hahaha!
*I look around nervously*
*looks over shoulder* Phew *sighs long breath of relief* Nobody sa- *another user grabs me* Hide, they are everywhere. They hunt us. *mysterious user pulls me down equally mysterious alleyway*
Wait a minute
Those aren’t users
THOSE ARE SHADOWS
Oh god oh god oh god
*I pull out a thingamabobber 475 and type something into it*
“HELLO? HELLO? TWIG, BERRY? I KNOW WHAT THE SHADOWS HAVE BEEN UP TO! They creep around, spoeing on the spoes since the spoes reside in the shadows. And every now and then they kidnap a few…. and turn them into…[Read more]
*I turn towards the shadow and use my talent. I sing so high it is momentarily paralyzed. I make a run for it. The shadow grabs me again and I struggle against it. It gains the upper hand*

*I dive behind Thoa and nervously snack on mochi*
Gosh ellllliot at least help us
*i start shooting glitter at the shadows, making them flinch as I laugh loudly*
*they begin to shrink because of the laughter and sparkles, and I wrench @cocostar out of their grip*
*I peek out from behind Thoa and start laughing nervously, which turns into a giggle*
*The shadows around me begin to shrink as well and I begin sending multicolored bubbles floating throughout the room, glittering and sparkling*
*The bubbles envelop a few shadows, swelling to contain them while still glowing and shining*
*I high five Elllliot*
That’s more like it!
*with a smirk, a cloud appears above me, starting to rain even as the sun is shining. This created a fractured rainbow effect, that shrinks the shadows and makes them retreat even farther*
*Berry appears in a burst of glitter and shoots fireworks in all directions, blasting shadows all over the place as I run in doing the same*
“Heard your call!”
What if there’s a way to turn shadows that used to be spoes back into themselves again?
“I think I can figure out a spell for that!”
*a shadow tries to grab her and she spins out of the way…[Read more]

*I shoot a few glitter bombs out of my bazooka for good measure*
*the shadows are moaning and groaning and fading fast*
*I can’t think of what to sing, so I sing whatever comes into my head as loudly as I can* I was a girl in the village doing alright then I became a princess overnight,
Now I gotta figure out how to do it right
So much to learn and see
*(oh my gosh I love Sofia the First!!!)*
*” @cocostar fyi, the general rule for what songs help drive the shadows away is ones that have a theme of light and/or hope coming through darkness. If you can’t think of any, 99 Bottles of Glitter on the Wall should be a safe bet too.”*
*the shadows are almost gone at this point, but one wraps around @coco…[Read more]

99 Bottles of Glitter on the wall, 99 Bottles of Glitter, take one down, pass it around 98 Bottles of Glitter on the wall.
*I pull out a huge rainbow pride flag and run up to the shadow, throwing the flag on top of it*
@thecoven4ever I grab a blm flag and strangle the shadow.
PRIDE!!!! *I grab another pride as well and start waving it frantically, screaming Rainbow Rocks at the top of my lungs and trapping more shadows in bubbles*
*The shadow gasps for breath but I jump on it’s head and you trap it in a jar*
Close it! Hurry up!
*I help ***** the lid on the jar as the rest of the shadows fade away*
YES WE BEAT THEM BACK!
And we even caught a shadow to experiment on and maybe save!
*I turn to twig*
You said you thought you knew how to turn them back, any ideas?
I don’t know how to change them back, but I do know how to see if it is a spoe or not. *holds out magic blue flute and starts playing, the dust glows blue* It’s a spoe!
Interesting… *I put down my Pride flag and walk over, a few bubbles floating behind me containing wisps of shadow* The bubbles only managed to contain them for a short amount of time before the light and glowy-ness caused the shadows to shrink, but we still have a few lasting remainders that we can use.
*I play my flute again and the wind holds the remaining dust so that we can experiment with it*
“Hmmmmm…” *rubbing her chin and squinting her eyes Berry looks closely at the shadow*
*her eyes dart back and forth, deep in thought*
*she takes a deep slow breath and draws glowing symbols in the air with her wand*
*she puts the wand away, sprinkles some herbs, and raises her hands, concentrating hard, hair floating and eyes glowing as she…[Read more]
Well done Berry and Twig. *I help up the other spoe*
why are so many spoes on my activity
hmm well I’m here because I
thought you were dead and was sadwanted to look at this postI don’t know. I’m everywhere.
There was a shadow situation. Though we should still talk about the RP.
What rp? Also are spoes not supposed to comment?
yes
we need to start it
Honestly I forgot my character’s name for a sec there. It’s Veda, I think?
maybe we should check out the doc
This shadow thing has been greatly enjoyable.
It really has been, however our adventure must end, until next time:)
Um, two things I wanna mention though…
A) So if it turns out shadows can be trapped that easily like what just happened, well, there’s a certain comment chain still going where there’s a shadow we have to SAVE still, so, if we can get editing access on the doc of ancient posts again that’ll be good!
B) Um, that spell was a wee bit…[Read more]
Enchanting an object sounds like a smart plan. As for the rest of the shadows, I have a new theory that they aren’t just spoes; they’re users who’ve left over the years and left some of their spirit behind. That’s why the shadows have been more dormant. They like fighting with us. It reminds them of their time on the site. But now that the Open…[Read more]
I agree with your theory @thecoven4ever
*breathes* Wow…
*we both stand in stunned silence for a bit*
…Oh, and we now know spoeing can be seriously dangerous. Might have to think of precautions to take when doing it from now on. Always carry light weapons on you? Wear some kind of protective layer of magic light somehow?
Also, this reminded me of the fact that we’ve seen the shadows…[Read more]
I think my magic flute can help spoes to some extent, we shall have to find a more powerful source of magic, such as the Crystal of Neletiban, the Caves of Sherood Namiki or the Wand of Wizaled.
That is very, very intense.
Bro, you ain’t seen NOTHING yet.
“The SGE site’s seen things a THOUSAND times more intense than this that last for WAY longer. We once had an all-out food war with magic and weapons and traps lasting for hundreds and hundreds of comments and everycreature almost died several times in the process.”
Yeah, I actually believe that
Woah… Does that legendary war have a name?
Yep. Things have gotten insane on here. I N S A N E
I hope you guys are right and we can bring everyone back
Same. I want there to be hope for other spoes.
*smacks self* Does said war have a title?
Yep.
