Family planning in a small village …

From ‘Reign, Dear’.

#WiPSnips
“Renny Puddlebottom is about due.” She linked her fingers upon her belly, slowly rocking back and forth. “It’s been a hard one for the girl. Soon be done and no doubt they’ll get to starting on the next.” A column of smoke blew lazily from Boulder’s lips toward the fire, the faintly blue smoke combining with that from the log, crackling and spitting in the grate. That would be the Puddlebottoms’ third. Families came large in the farmlands and, and Boulder hated thinking like this, but it was true, it was always worthwhile having more to spare. Life was hard on children. Get them past a certain age and they could expect a long life. Those early years, though? They could be harsh on families.

Our hero muses on the dreaded "Mall Walkers"
From "HatWIP"
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips
It is a school day and the mall is emptied of its usual teenage patronage. Now is the time for another species unique to the mall habitat; the dreaded mall walkers. They are a pack animal resplendent in their neon track pants. They cruise the climate controlled halls. These third space parasites buy nothing even though they have the financial weight of my entire senior class combined. If youth is wasted on the young then money is wasted on the old.

“No need for your puppet to speak for you, Leon,” a second man called out.
Fra's jaw set. “I called this meeting and…”
“And who are you to call anything?” Challenged a third. “Last I heard, you don't even wear the crown yet.”

Lilia being a bit selfish here. She’s just caught Nico sneaking back in after he visited her best friend

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
From The Magic in Our Bones 🦴🥉
Black text, green background, “third” highlighted pink It feels good to laugh about it. I'm not going to lie, now that I'm over my fear of where Nico was, I've moved on to another emotion. Something about their relationship does make me...sad, I guess. It was always me and Nico. And me and Melody. We've been a trio for ages, and it's true that she's always loved Nico, but when it came to duos, it was me and him or me and her. Now, suddenly, it's him and her, and I'm the THIRD wheel, left on the sidelines. If he was still alive, they would have soulmated. I'm not dying to get a soulmate or anything, but where would that leave me, with the two people I'm closest to now the most important part of each other's lives? And it's selfish of me. Because I would give anything for that to be the reality now. Because nobody's going to be a more important part of Nico's unlife than me. *My soulmate is Nico.* Down in my soul, I know that that's what I had always expected. Even when I was told that wasn't possible because a love witch needs a romantic soulmate. Part of me is clairvoyant. Maybe I could dodge expectations. But, even ignoring his death, his soulmate was Melody, so it was never going to be me. And there's a petty part of me that's mad about that and an even pettier part of me that's glad that at least the three of us will be soulmate-less together.

This subterranean lake is extremely important to the city of Ynthessen, as it provides the hidden city with all of its water, allowing for it to be independent from the rest of the world.

It also is used to fill all of the algae vats that grow the majority of the food 🧵

Alright, #NovemberWorldbuilders, this is the nichest of niche questions. If you have a notable lake/river in your world, how does it impact the economy? Do people fish from it? Are there any other resources they use? Maybe barges use it for transporting goods?

Believe it or not, I'd go to the antagonist, Uncle "Bo." Not only is he the most senior person in my WIP (he's in his 90s)--and thus the most experienced--he's also canny as a fox and can be trusted (if he likes you) to provide effective, immediately actionable advice. #AwesomeCharacters

Which of your characters would you turn to for advice?

Does it matter what the advice was on? Relationships? Money? Career? Other?

Is there anyone who's advice you would always do the exact opposite of?

Professor Whispers. 1000%.

There is no wiser character in my books. He shows up only briefly in Sigils of Blight (Book 2), so I'm making up for that in my WIP. We need more bug facts and wisdom.

It depends on what the question is.

If I need to know about the future I might ask Ren to force a vision of the future.

If it's military or statecraft, I'd ask Fiona.

For anything life or social related, I'd ask Amy or Vincent.

Don't have "retrograde," so I went with "deteriorate" instead:
She was about to take her chances, when the Graigman emerged from the bathroom. He was an average height for his kind, with a muscular build, especially in his hairy forearms. He had his hair slicked back in an effort to disguise how curly it naturally was, complete with mutton chops. He strode to the bar, pausing to give Lily a passing glance, and in that moment, she felt something stir within. It wasn’t much, but it was more than she’d felt all night. Abandoning subtlety and craft, she mustered what glamour she had left and just stared at the Graigman from her seat. It took longer than usual, but he turned and met her gaze. He appeared to nod—it was hard to tell because her vision was deteriorating—and she answered with a smile. “—couldn’t help but notice you here by yourself, m’lady.” She must’ve blacked out for a moment, because the next thing she knew, he was at her table with a pair of mugs. He grinned at her, revealing a shiny gold tooth. Now that he was up close, she sensed the lust and desire radiating off him. “Yes,” she said. “Something about you called out to me.” “I might say the same about you, lass,” he replied. “You have a … shall I say … striking look to you.” She brushed hair behind her ear and forced a blush. At least her human form was holding up enough for him to find her attractive. The dim light surely helped, too.

Also some comic books and magazines. Another shelf with funko pops and stuffies. Manga and horror books.

Tynan can just turn into a fish and swim all they want 😂 Any fish they want. Or aquatic mammal. or other water-breathing/swimming creature they can imagine.

After their death, however, due to *reasons*, they have to get permission from Deep Sea before swimming in the ocean

Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders! Let's talk about your MC today. What is their relationship with water like? Do they know how to swim? Have they ever caught a fish? Or is it just something that gets in the way during their long journey? Maybe they've never *seen* a body of water so big

I think I'd most trust Icozoue for advice, even though she herself would say she's a mess & you shouldn't ask her. She's got a good head on her shoulders.

For gardening advice specifically - Kena. He's pretty insightful about people too.

If I was trying to do a heist, Kazuo 😂
