I would love to see a map of The Isles, or just hear stuff about the different locations :D

Sorry it’s taken,,,like five hours to respond I lowkey passed out

Anyways!! Map!! I did one awhile ago and, despite how goofy it looks (you can only do so much with the free version of inkarnate) it gets the point across

(It doesn’t include the floating Islands, I couldn’t figure out a way to show them)

So, there’s the four corners I guess you could call them, and they’re pretty much just different climates. Technically, they’re part of the land kingdom and are under Sapphires rule, but excluding Fanterra, they each have their own respective rulers. (Sapphire, as much as she tries cannot be in several places at once.)

I think the map is pretty self explanatory as to what each of the climates are like in the areas so I won’t go into too much detail about them.

Then in the centre is the Lake of Kings- or more commonly known as the Sea Kingdom. There’s not much to say about it other than there’s two rivers that lead out to sea and there’s two major kingdoms- these being the lake (the “main” kingdom) and the sea, the rivers aren’t big enough to actually house anyone and are more like the highways of the water.

And they’re not shown but the floating islands are obviously above that, with the “main hub” sitting over the lake and the castle just above that. There’s branching islands off of the main hub that are a number of things, housing, farms, buildings like libraries and schools. Basically the extra things surround the main hub (which gives it its name, it’s in the centre of the islands and is therefore seen as the main hub)

And that’s pretty much it and like I said, it’s pretty goofy looking but it gets the point across as to what everything is, what it’s called and where it’s placed. The layout may change one day I’m not too sure. The current is a little iffy with me but that’s future problems for a future Bagel.

okay i think i am learning.... something

[inkskinned]

we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."
