Young Writers Society

I just want to share with y'all real quick this painting done by Ilya Repin of Sofia Alekseyevna because it's the COOLEST portrait of a woman I've ever seen in the 19th century. Look at her! Someone's getting harmed tonight and it ain't her.

*Me about to welcome you to the site because I didn't recognize your name*
*Sees you've been here since 2014*
Nevermind-

Discussion in art history about lower class food in the 19th century got me thinking about the dinner I had last night.

Old scholars deserve to bullied relentlessly for the pains they put us new scholars through. Kiddos, do your research if you're going to publish something so the youngsters entering your field of study don't have to bend over backwards to figure out if they can trust you.

Oh my! I just looked at leaderboard and you are at 19999 total posts!! 1 more until 20000! Congrats!

new name new name!! (glad to see the raven's still the same, though xD)

Hullo. You can call me Muv; everyone else does. Pronouns she/her, ex-soldier, current outlaw. I wouldn't trust me if I were you, but especially if I was Eidrid Stovinsson. Favorite weapon's a two-handed sword. I'm traveling with a group of young idiots to keep 'em out of trouble and away from the mountains, at the moment. Ask your questions and make 'em quick; I don't like to dilly dally.

Love the name change!

So what motivated the name change?

My third incarnation. It is I, the former GrandWild.

Hopping on the #charactervalentines bandwagon because I think Gaius and Tomhas would have some pretty funny/cringy ones.

Gaius:
--I find your presence bearable enough that I'll make an effort not to glare at you, Valentine.
--*mr. darcying at you from across the room*

Tomhas:
--Your hair is red,
My wife's hair is too,
I might have some issues,
But not when I'm with you!
--If I start crying at dinner it's because I love you so much, Valentine.

There are two authors named Margaret who are now on my hatelist.
