Then, I decided to draw this Picket on a whim for a spotify pfp, but I just didn't like the way his coloring turned out, so I didn't end up using it :( but it's better than nothing!

And finally, I worked on this FORRREEEVVVVERRRR. Literally. Backgrounds just. kill me. But it's nice, even though once again, pickets coloring is slightly off. But Im pleased with it overall.

Welp. It's not much, but God bless you all, and my place beside you!

So what is y'all's hopes for the books that have yet to be published. (I mean the ones we know are coming, Lost Cause and the other Helmer ones) Well, here's mine... (P.S. SPOILERS for LK, LL, and HIDT!!!!)

Let's start with Lost Cause... it comes out in the fall!!!!! I have two things for it. One, Perkinson needs to make an appearance! It would flow into EF so well if he shows up! Also I want him to defeat Challabat, because that would bring up a great reason for Helmer to make Perk a fowler. (Much like Jo with Solus) I'm not saying this because I like Perkinson or anything, but it would be prefect for the story. (actually Perk is my second least favorite rabbit- after Garten)

The other thing is mostly something that confused me in LL. So in Chapter 2, Fiona meets this random buck... Tommin…

It's been really quiet lately so I have a challenge for you!

You can draw either of these characters or all of them, I don't care. Gort, Tunk, Jimmi Docker, or Biggting Pusher! All of these characters I classify as "funny" hints the title! 😁 And they're really fun to draw too!

I'm not gonna choose a winner or anything, but if you do this challenge you get an imaginary gold star!!!!😲🤩

Here is my drawings. (Biggting's name got cut off)

Have fun!! My place beside you!!

Yesterday I had my GE party! We decided to have it at my church instead of my house (and getting premission to change was pretty easy since I'm the pastor's daughter, "Hey, dad! Can I..."). We had three teams, Blackstone, the Shufflers, and the Special Diet Kids🤷‍♀️. The shufflers won! (They got Nerds Gummy Clusters for a prize!) It was really fun! Two of our own Menders came too! @Mayflower Elizabeth Everdeen and @Elizabeth Redstone! They are both my good friends!

I wanted to share some of the decorations I made! (Mayflower also made some of these!)

I drew all these characters! I made 70 of them, but Gort and Slimmo were on the "The Savory Den" banner!

My place beside you!

Here's this because I like this picture

And I did this one thinking of my friend

Lil' Jo having fun with "me nuncle Jwo!"

This is Jo after he makes that crazy awesome shot to save Heather. In my sketch book I have in the corner, "No disapproving voices haunted his vision, nor were angry faces shaking their heads at his shame. Jo believed he was dying, but a weary smile played across his face."-The Last Archer pg. 120

This is "Jo Cool". Did I mention that Jo is my favorite character?

And finally, something that has nothing to do with Jo (sorry Jo!) My rendition of Heather and Smalls!

It was the following day when both Garten and Vitton returned to the cell. They emerged from the corridor leading to the cell side by side. At the other end, Emma saw several guards, no doubt escorts for the two bucks. She wasn’t sure whether to be relieved or worried that they were being kept at a distance.

“And how are our favorite prisoners?” Garten’s tone was mocking, and it brought a smirk to Vitton’s face.

“None the better for your asking,” Emma answered coolly.

“Careful, little doe,” Vitton replied, his eyes glinting. “It could always be worse.”

Jo, who had been resting in his nest of blankets, raised himself up to regard the two older bucks. His face wore an expression Emma couldn’t quite read. The fear that had come when Vitton last visited wasn’t visible, nor did Jo seem to demonstrate any contempt. Focused was the best term…

So developments in The Lost Legend got me to thinking about the various antagonists who have appeared and been defeated in the series by named hero characters. Thought it might be fun to go through and break the topic down. As a note, there will be SPOILERS for Helmer in the Dragon Tomb, both book and game.

A good number of named or significant antagonists are the only ones to have been defeated, and often slain, by a particular hero. Flint’s said to have defeated Firstfoe, but we don’t know much more than that. Mother Saramack may or may not have taken out the unsavory commander Usher. King Whitson is known to have slain a Grimble tribe captain named Forne. Lander, of course, was responsible for killing Namoz the Destroyer. And Emerson was responsible for taking out Falcowit, though with a bit of assistance.

Speaking of which, Kylen and Naylen…

Okay, I wanna share some trivia with you guys! In a couple weeks I'm hosting a Green Ember trivia at my house with some friends. One type of question is Who said it? questions. The trivia I prepared for my friends is more easy and it's only required to have read the four main books though I do have a couple bonus questions for the side books. Anyway, I want to give you some of the harder ones I've come up with. Basically, Who said it? questions are quotes (or random nonsense) and you have to tell me "Who said it?". Here we go.

1. "You can't take two steps, without running into one."

2. "That's the lazy, unimaginative solution."

3. "Like I always say, I'm behind you all the way. Sadly, I'll be so far behind that it won't help any, but I'm definitely behind you."

4. "But I…
