  1. Almost Vena — Duskgold, edge of twilight It had been a long day—flour-streaked and sun-drowsy, the kind of day that left everything slower, softer. The kitchen was clean, the last of the bread cooling on its cloth-lined rack. Ailin stood by the open window, elbows on the sill, watching the lamplighters drift down the street like fireflies. Behind him, Jaren leaned against the counter, arms crossed, eyes not on the street, but on Ailin. The golden-pink light caught the curve of his
  2. No, Ailin and Jaren were their birth names, given to them before they swore vows to the Temple of the Whispering Reeds. Ailin and Jaren know the Temple's calligraphy, but are less familiar with the common script used by lay persons. The notes that Ailin held in his hand aren't meant for public use; they're more like flashcards. For memorizing the translations from Temple writing to the common tongue.
  3. A new chapter has been posted.
  4. And strengthen their ties to the community. They're not just "those boys from Henla's bakery" anymore.
  5. Lanterns in the Wind Auryn —Duskgold By the third week after the Festival of the Twin Stars, Ailin and Jaren had grown familiar with the rhythm of life in the outer wards of Yalda. It was a world measured not in chimes and meditations but in the scent of roasting squash, the gossip of neighbors, and the slap of laundry on river stones. And laughter.

  6. Like the little boy who pulls on a girl's hair to get her to notice him.
  7. Yup! 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿
  8. Ooh. Here's a show I've never seen before. WWE: Drew vs Albert. *grabs a bucket of 🍿*
  9. My heart belongs to Morgan.
  10. 100 pages already? You guys really know how to talk.
  11. It feels like Drew and Spike have fallen through the Looking Glass, and they've dragged us all along with them.
  12. Kids can be so accident-prone. Meanwhile, I've been reading about Samuel Adventure Baker, a kid who climbed El Capitán (a mountain in Yosemite National Park) when he was just 8 years old. It's 914 metres (3,000 feet) tall from base to summit. https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2022/10/29/sam-adventure-baker-summits-el-capitan-yosemite-nr-vpx.cnn
  13. Hey, Dugh and Mum!
  14. OMG! This little guy is the BEST! "My stomach has a crush on food, tho." 😂 Also, I love that he's open enough to admit to having crushes on multiple people, regardless of gender. Mom and Dad don't shame him, they just let him be himself.
  15. A Reddit post brought this to my attention. The show is called "City of Ghosts", on Netflix. The kid with the blond hair is Thomas, with they/them pronouns. The role is portrayed by an actor named Blue Chapman, who is transgender.
  16. I hope the other cats are getting along nicely with him.
  17. Hey, Terry! Glad to have you back.
  18. I heard from Terry. He sends greetings and best wishes to everyone.
  19. I was thinking apple cinnamon oatmeal.
  20. Now I know what to make for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks, Chris! 😁
  21. Hey, Dugh and Mum!
  22. I'm making meatball ramen for dinner. Sort of like Italian Wedding Soup, but made with long noodles and Dashi, as well as some aromatics like garlic, ginger, and leeks.
  23. *claps hands loudly* Now, Now! Let's all play nicely here, kids! 😃
