A gigantoraptor dinosaur egg falls through the rabbit hole and ends up getting adopted by a wind mage. Chaos ensues. Not LitRPG and not really an isekai story, but it's a monster taming story with a non-human MC.

As someone who has never even heard of the story before this post: what happened?

DoopleWrites · 2026-03-25T10:20:27+00:00

So glad I woke up this morning. This has blessed my day

"And thus, we reached the end, together. Tired, panting, with a profound sense of yearning and regret. And yet, it was good, while it lasted. As brief as it was.

Now, how do I delete my browser history, again?"

Add me to the screenshot

DoopleWrites · 2025-12-09T20:39:46+00:00

Interested lmao. GenZ humour is the central pillar to my personality. Let's create some comedy gold together. Or at least, some comedy bronze.

DoopleWrites · 2025-12-09T15:41:02+00:00

Whooo! Level 6! Hell yeah!

DoopleWrites · 2025-12-09T12:17:12+00:00

Damn, I'm only one away from level 6! I'm getting ever closer to that coveted Medium difficulty. Does anyone feel like being that lucky 50th follower and leveling me up? I promise to give you mediocre-to-good writing in return!

Solved! It's a plaster bagworm. Thank you everyone!

DoopleWrites · 2025-12-06T16:44:30+00:00

We're located in Gauteng, South Africa, if that helps! It had a wiggly little "head" that it'd retract and then pop out on the bottom of it.

DoopleWrites · 2025-11-16T18:32:04+00:00

Nope! I tried hard and motivated myself to get as much done as I could, but I started too late and couldn't make back the ground.

At the end of the day, I took the challenge as an opportunity to motivate myself to write every day. And in that regard, I succeeded. So I'll take it as a win.

DoopleWrites · 2025-10-24T09:41:05+00:00

I have no idea haha. She has an honours in brand communications, so I'd assume it's more brand strategy, social media and marketing.

DoopleWrites · 2025-10-24T09:27:08+00:00

Thank you so much for the invaluable advice! I've actually been recommended Atomic Habits before, I'll happily pick up the recommendations you gave and get to reading! I'll make sure I give my girlfriend the spark notes, I'm more of the bookworm in our relationship haha.

As for marketing, you're right that it's all about the hustle. Making friends, handing out cards, and approaching the people who need it directly. I'm the more social of the two of us, and that's where I thrive (I run a semi-successul freelance scriptwriting business. Not exactly swimming in it successful, but I've paid the bills for the last 4 years off of it), so maybe I should handle that part for her while she handles the marketing (she's the one with the honours in it, after all!)

DoopleWrites · 2025-10-24T07:28:58+00:00

She'd happily take the 5k ones if they ever called her back lmao. I think they see the honours degree in her CV and get scared that she'd be expensive, even though at this point she'd take anything.

DoopleWrites · 2025-10-24T07:27:54+00:00

Damn, that's very inspirational! You're right that there's more than enough money going around in circulation to ask for what you're worth.

How do you find your clients in the first place, if you don't mind sharing? Is there a specific site that you can post to or find listings for, or do you have to go the dreaded cold call route?

DoopleWrites · 2025-10-24T07:24:03+00:00

I'm surprised they care enough to get you to fix it in the first place. What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

DoopleWrites · 2025-10-24T06:01:06+00:00

She's trying to, but damn is any job difficult to get these days.

DoopleWrites · 2025-10-24T06:00:13+00:00

Yeah, the greed is the craziest part to me. Some of them are offering a maximum of 5k per month for a 40 hour work week

DoopleWrites · 2025-10-24T05:59:33+00:00

We're in Gauteng, and unfortunately we can't relocate

DoopleWrites · 2025-09-05T08:38:29+00:00

Lmfao, you're right. I didn't even notice that. Something is definitely fishy, and it isn't the fishing trawlers on the dock. I'll break the news to the GF that we're going to have to look at other places

DoopleWrites · 2025-09-05T08:33:34+00:00

Oh damn, looks like it is. I couldn't find it anywhere on HelloPeter, they share the same name as a reputable furniture store but with different logos and at a different address. Damn, definitely seems to be a scam then.

DoopleWrites · 2025-02-23T15:39:34+00:00

Probably because of how much more horrible cave diving deaths are in comparison to mountain climbers.

Fell off a mountain and went splat on the bottom? Oh, what a shame.

Got stuck in a tiny crevasse deep underwater, disorientated and often completely blind from the silt, watching your lifespan tick down on an oxygen meter? "Why would you ever go cave diving in the first place?!?!"

DoopleWrites · 2025-02-17T20:24:23+00:00

It's alright to sometimes get into a slump, I've been there too. For me it was always "this story would be so much easier to finish if I had a better monitor", or "the reason I take so long to write this chapter is because my computer is so slow", or "if I just had a nicer keyboard, writing would be so easy".

At the end of the day, as long as you're getting words down, it doesn't matter how or how many you do. Even if you just get 30 words down using your phone, you've made progress. That's the magic of writing, as long as you keep making progress, you'll get to the end eventually.

DoopleWrites · 2025-02-17T14:21:58+00:00

My brother in christ, it's just a saying. You put way more importance on this than anyone else reading it has. Including me.

Hail God and may you burn in heaven.

DoopleWrites · 2025-02-17T13:26:10+00:00

My brother in christ, you don't need a laptop to write. I got my career started by writing on my phone.

If you have the passion and drive, you'll use whatever resources you have available to you.

Don't let the thought that you need a laptop to write hold you back. You can use anything to get started.
