    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Early October

    Thanks for the great comments Def! You're right, Toph definitely turned a corner when he became 'visible.' He has so much to do, so much to learn. Who will be his helper? Is Steve that guy? Is he capable? Niles? Gary? Maybe even someone we haven't met yet. There's no question he's got a journey ahead. But then he's got a whole year.

    Thanks for the review Lisa! Yes, it was sort of a bumpy ride today. Ginny's pretty clever too, isn't she. Ah, the demons! Unfortunately, the demons are not done with David. I think we know pretty much what their names are too. And Tommy. At least David appreciates what a great brother he's got there!

    I'm certain;y squeezing for you CG, as I'm sure is everybody at GA!

    If you do not expect the unexpected, you will not find it - Heraclitus *** Twoey This morning Mom brought in a big paper bag full of cards. Apparently she didn't bring them to me earlier, just in case someone mentioned I was shot or that Danny was dead. She said she didn't want to open them and check, because it was my mail and she respected my privacy. She's really good like that ...but I always delete my computer history anyway ...hehe So I started opening them and found some from aunts a

    Hey Drew thanks for the great comments! I think the fact Danny and David grew up together makes David accept all the 'touches' as simply how Danny is with him. Twoey, the outsider, sees it quite differently, naturally. I thought quite a bit about the wisdom of the daily story. I decided, as in real life, events which don't seem to directly influence a situation do, in fact, have some bearing on it. Thinking back to high school, every single thing affected me and thus contributed to how I reacted to events.

    C'mon Drew!

    You're right, it does sorta have a vibe

    Hey Drew! Thanks for the review. I think it was Def, in a later chapter, who thought David might be slightly OCD, which would explain his need to control everything in his life. It comes off as 'mood swings' to an observer, but makes internal sense to him. Oh well, we're only along for the ride

    Finally! Haha ...I know what you mean. Intriguing new stories posted every day it seems. Then I got kidnapped over Christmas and was away for a whole week. I know there are new chapters of some stories I'll only discover when the following one gets posted! Thanks for coming back to Twoey. It's a long road and goes from flaky and lighthearted to more serious (be forewarned). Probably best taken in small doses. Thanks for reviewing Drew!!

    Hey MJC! Thanks so much for that! I'm always a little afraid such a long story will get tedious. 122 is a lot of chapters! I do my best to keep it interesting. If not, feel free to complain right here!

    You are strong and good and brave tim! You had a few wonderful people to help you, but they couldn't have done much without you. I love you very much ...and all the best going forward. May you and Mike go on forever.

    skinnydragon commented on Dayne Mora's story chapter in Vato y Acho

    Another great (and steamy) chapter dayne! Side Chick and Main Bitch are pretty interesting with each other, all by themselves. Indy seems to be working through something, maybe subconsciously, out of his control. I'm not sure, but get the idea something's going on inside that guy. As long as he doesn't drown in the neko pool, I guess. Thanks for this!

    Thanks for the neat review and comments Def! Yeah, too bad CG didn't get to experience the dump live. We'll hope he enjoys it when he (eventually) catches up. This thing with his mother and the cult seems to be spiraling toward something, for sure. Hopefully Putin and the KGB will be powerful enough allies. David's gut instinct about Erik is worrisome, but we've seen he's not always right.

    Thanks for the cool comments jess! Yay! is right. Finally!! David and Twoey will next get together on Sunday, but it might not be the way we hope and expect. A few surprises pop up tomorrow.
  16. skinnydragon
    Thanks for the thoughts Parker! David sees himself beset by the cult, which he has now called "the enemy." Not surprisingly, at the very same moment, his subconscious has drafted KGB to defend him. Everything else seems to be fading out. This might not be good.

    What a perfectly beautiful chapter Parker! And what a perfect Valentine's Day for both boys. It's good to see Andy getting help. I'm sure he'll fill in more of the horrible details as he gets more comfortable. And yes, he's becoming more of a 'normal' boy, and by more than just getting the phone. Thanks for this!

    “Everything will probably never be OK.” - V. Putin *** At times your friend is not in sync with you. “I saw Kathy with cheating Cal yesterday.” Gary thought he was giving me a news bulletin. “Yeah, I did too.” “Well, what are you going to do about it?” “Nothing. She's free to go back with Cal.” My best friend looked exasperated with me. Jeez, I told him, didn’t I? This doesn’t change anything. Dad drove me to my Dr. Keating appointment this morning. On the way he told me in plain Engl

    Thanks Timothy for your usual insightful comments! The Gary/Toth dance is interesting to watch, isn't it? Joanne is nudging but also aware, I think. The multi-faceted new portrait is probably important. The paintings to seem to be making him grow emotionally, as some of the others have pointed out. You're probably correct about the need to soften up before attempting anything with Gary. Now, what will Gary do about all that?

    Hey spikey, thanks for the review and good questions! Now you don't expect me to answer any do you? ...hehe. One problem we (as the readers) have is the single POV. We won't find out about things until Toph does. We've already gathered he doesn't read people too well at this stage of his development (Nico, Austin, Charles) and so should be cautious about Gary, who comes with additional baggage. As you point out, painting may be key to his emotional growth. Nico WAS wronged, but let's never forget he's a Popendropolis and not without enormous resources and influence.

    Thanks for the review and comments spikey! Toph really doesn't make sense to anyone yet. For some reason his defenses are isolating him from life, even Austin really. He's not ready for Gary on several levels (in his head). Maybe things will change.

    Thank You Graeme for you wonderful comments! You'll understand I need to avoid commenting on most of what you have said. You've fleshed out several of the enigmas presented so far. The story needs to answer those. I can comment on this method of Abstract Realism though. It is surely an exciting way to discover the soul of a painting, isn't it? If he can harness this energy, it could be a career. Gary may already be working on that one though.

    Thanks for following and commenting jess! I get the feeling Toph was already pretty accomplished before his little meltdown. I'm sure it gave him the necessary tools to take off with Naomi's approach. The fact his portraits of Charles and Nico had such a profound effect on him, sheds light on the insights you noticed. I'm not sure Toph is oblivious to Gary, just wary.

    Thanks for reading, and also commenting! I understand what you're saying, but is Toph ready for Gary and everything it would mean? Then, of course, we have Niles lying in the weeds
