Leading Man

"Imagine!" Pitch cried, throwing his hands out wide as if to spread a panorama before them. "The world, blanketed in darkness. Fear in every corner, shadows—"

Twiner stopped listening. He muttered to Jack, "Can you believe this guy?"

Jack pressed his lips together and nodded. "A veritable one man show."

Current read: Call of the Bone Ships by RJ Barker

Book 2 of the Tide Child trilogy

If you grew up reading Ranger’s Apprentice/Brotherband then I highly recommend this series— lots of nautical elements including ship lingo and long voyages. It’s a high fantasy series, so it has Pirates of the Caribbean-esque elements as well. The sea battles are incredibly well-written.

‼️‼️🗣️🗣️ SEA DRAGONS 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️

I’ve seen reviewers classify these books as grimdark, but I disagree with that mainly because of the main character Joron and his captain (shipwife), Lucky Meas. Though hardened by the circumstances of their lives and their tragic pasts, both of these characters, along with many of the side characters, have strong moral compasses and a conviction to do what’s right.

I’m enjoying this series a lot so far and I think it definitely deserves to more well-known. I would love to see the fandom grow too because I haven’t found anyone to talk about it with yet 🥲 (if you have read them pls interact bc I am desperate to scream about Joron with someone)

It's like they're describing The Bone Ship's Wake word for word

i think that killing a dragon should have catastrophic nuclear-fallout level environmental consequences tbh. their blood should scorch and wither the earth with fire and poison, the toxic fumes released as they decay should choke the land and all nearby living creatures, and the entire landscape where they fell should be transformed into a blighted wasteland where bleached leviathan bones loom upwards out of the ground as a warning that can be seen from miles away, the boundary markers of an exclusion zone.

Well this was a rare treat.

Jack had expected to return to find Bunny right where he'd left him, burrowing his way through a mound of busywork while he waited for the little magic egg tulips to bloom. Instead when he followed the eager pull of his Wind he found his favorite grumpy rabbit all curled up around one of his overly large drawing books and squinting through his cute little glasses at the ruins in front of him.

Jack wondered if Bunny even realized they were still on his face, he only wore them when he was reading or working on the really tiny details of his machines, and scrunching up his eyes out at the crumbling stone wall was going to give him a killer headache.

It was, naturally, in Bunny's best interest for Jack to sweep in and pluck them off of his wide flat nose.

Exchanging them for his lips however was a purely selfish act and one which would bring about a different kind of headache altogether.

"Jack." Bunny said in way of greeting, not shifting a smidge under the sudden weight on his back as Jack settled fully onto his shoulders.

From this close and upside down Jack couldn't see the expression Bunny was making, it was still a bit of a marvel to him that he didn't feel any wiggle of anxiety from that, or the carefully neutral voice. It was at times a chore but he had done his best to stop reading into every minute twitch of Bunny's body language. Besides, beneath the dark slashes of his brows were a pair of beautifully expressive eyes the color of fresh growth on a pine, when the needles were still all feathery and soft and charmingly green, and he was more than happy to look at them.

"Why are you wearing your glasses to paint?" he asked, feeling the quick little twitches of Bunny's nose against his brow.

"Some baking eggs broke down, took a moment to fix them was all." Without looking away from Jack at all he reached his hand to the side and picked something from his bag.

Beside him was a satchel of his supplies, Jack had learned to recognize it during their many trips across the world as Bunny would let him out to blow off all his energy while he painted, and Jack knew from experience that Bunny could pluck exactly what he needed from it without ever looking away from his work. Jack had made a game of trying to hand him the wrong thing once, but it was like he had a kind of sense for his tools. As soon as the item had touched his hand he'd declare "no, not that" and pluck the correct item from wherever in the bag Jack had secreted it. Jack was sure there was some magic to it all.  

"Where's Twiner?"

"Slithered off to play," Jack said of their cute little serpent of a child. Though child was a very generous description for a snake spirit of a trillion year old seed. They had called him any number of silly nicknames as they debated on what his name would actually be, but it had been Bunny's somewhat affectionate complaint about his habit of twinning himself around their arms that had stuck, figuring he could complain to them about it if he grew enough sentience to have an opinion.

So far he had the personality of any other tree sapling, interested only in food, comfort, and whatever curiosities he could fit inside his mouth, but that wasn't unusual for human infants either. Given the growth rate and lifespan of a weeping willow tree Twiner should be aging at a rate similar to humans, and at twelve years old it could be argued he’d never gain human characteristics; but those were all cuttings of cuttings from his failed world tree experimentations, and this was a fully rooted and growing seedling of the parent tree, Aster didn't feel qualified to assume anything based on that.

He could have a spaience completely alien to anything they had encountered before.

"You plan on letting me go anytime soon?" Bunny asked, easily moving his hand across the paper without once looking away from Jack's eyes. Jack was certain he was completely blocking the view, but who knew what kind of tricks the old rabbit could do.

"Not really," he smiled and pressed another kiss against the short fur of Bunny's nose. "Why, am I bothering~ you?"

"I'd like to finish this sketch before something else falls apart on me. Easter is righ-"

"Around the corner, yes you've been saying for days."

"And one day closer every time I say it."

i  wanna  talk  a  little  about  jack's  staff﹕  twinetender  /  twiner.

in the books, he's molded out from the bark of the warrior willow, form the mohican tribe. the warrior willow housed the spirits of deceased warriors. twinetender is of pure and noble of heart, traits that pass onto it's wielder﹔ jack frost.

his staff was originally made by north, to which jack had remarked a very "northian" name for him to choose from. it could change into a variety of weapons to fit the situation afoot. personal tidbit ┄┄ most of these weapons will have etchings of the mohican tribe.

so twiner's a bit of a bitch. 💀💀 acting predominantly as a baby sitter to help guide and protect jack, formerly nightlight, through his journey.

he offered jack sovereignty over the trees, ( why, as if snow wasn't enough. ) and connected him to every piece of nature there is! he speaks the language of trees, commands the winds, so on and so forth.

he's also mentioned to have an army of leafmen at his disposal. ( brother in william joyce. @lcafman )

jack and twiner then made an oath﹔ to stay as humanely and as .. stickly as possible. :3

PS. from writer to writer, jack DESPISES being called 'lord of the trees,' it's awfully pompous ﹠ a MOUTHFUL. it's something very embarrassing to him, so to those that wanna tease him ..

The Black Hare - A little help?

Currently struggling a little with the Journal screen. Would love some input or thoughts from readers and Twiners alike <3 (I'm using Sugarcube v2)

A Little Background

I spoke in my last log about a new Journal feature. In it, you can collect notes, documents, clues, etc. To show that you've collected a document or a clipping, essentially what happens is when you find it in the game/story, you have the option to collect it, which sets its variable to true, which adds it to your journal. Super simple behind-the-scenes work, nothing fancy.

By the way, not everything is important, so what you choose to collect is up to you. (Giving you a little of that detective vibe. - But no worries, it's not like not collecting something will lock you out of anything later on, so if you don't even want to use this mechanic, you don't have to.)

The way that that's coded is just by using <<if>> macros. So:

<<if $something is true>>You have this thing.<<else>>You do not have this thing.<</if>>

The Problem

I'm not sure I like going into the Journal and seeing a long list of "You do not have this entry." or "You have not collected this article." You can see that in the image above.

But, if I remove the <<else>> portion of the code, what tends to happen is that if a variable is not true, I get an empty line instead, that I can't seem to get rid of. So, it'll look something like this:

On the one hand, I'm thinking having the "You do not have this entry" messages is okay because at least it lets you know that there are clues to be found. On the other hand, you don't know which clues, or if they're important, so it'll just confuse some players instead of helping them.

However, the problem with having no alternate message is just this huge space. Since the story will let you collect a lot of stuff (way more than what I'm using for the images above), it's going to be a bit clunky to go into your journal and just see some text, a huge space, and then some other text, and another huge space, and so on. It feels like really bad design.

I know there's a <<nobr>> or backslash solution I can use, but I did try it and that seems to put everything in the same line or completely remove the spacing, which doesn't help me much as I want to have at least one line of spacing between each item listed in the journal. (Unless I'm using it wrong? Please lmk.)

So, my question, if you're a Twiner: How do you avoid the spacing without having everything appear on the same line/squished with no lines in between?

If you're a reader: If I can't find a solution, would it be alright for you to drop into your journal and see the alternate placeholder text ("You do not have this entry.")?

Would you prefer that it was specific to the missing item to avoid confusion (ex: "You do have have any clippings collected from the Antiques Catalogue.")

Keep in mind that there will be clues that aren't helpful to you - part of the whole investigative experience - and I'm working it so that you should be able to delete any entries that you deem unhelpful or find out are red herrings. When you delete them, you're just turning the variable back to false, so if there is alternate text, like You do not have this entry, that's what will show again.

If it's up to me and I don't find a solution, I may just leave the alternate text as-is, as shown in the first image.
