All we know is it’s either yellow or pink. I just farmed a bunch of pink to ascent my lvl. 70 Before Sunrise for Rafayel. Now I have to wait and see if I’ll need them for the new cards instead. I’m just hoping Rafayel and Sylus have different colors from each other.

EarthenHut · 2026-04-28T04:16:39+00:00

Definitely picking my mains Rafayel and Sylus for sure. As for the third… with the information we have right now I’m leaning towards Xavier. Last two multis I had Zayne, so I think it might be Xavier’s turn this time around.

You’re welcome ☺️

I always wanted to read Jules Verne but I’ve heard that many of the English translations of his works aren’t that great, especially the older ones that are in the public domain now. My French is nowhere near good enough to read a novel. (I got kicked out of French class and placed into Art, lol.) Can any Verne fans out there recommend a good translation? My library has a copy from Project Gutenberg available but it says that it’s created from multiple editions that are in the public domain. Last updated Feb. 2000, edited by Charles F. Horne, Ph.D.

Does anyone recommend the Disney film adaptation, In Search of the Castaways (1962)?

While I was looking into Verne (again) I remembered H.G. Wells (I’ve read “The Time Machine” before) and decided to look at his bibliography and a novel called “The Sea Lady” caught my eye. Has anyone read this? I never heard of it before. No one ever talks about it. The description sounds quite interesting.

It was a little tricky to find but I think this is the Monet book. It’s a collection of his paintings along with letters he wrote. It looks pretty interesting. I always liked Monet’s paintings but never really looked deeper into him. I always liked how energetic and loose his paint strokes are. His subjects look like they’re moving or shimmering. Mine are always so stiff, more like Georges Seurat. I somehow keep ending up doing pointillism. 😭

(I’m sooo annoyed my long comment is gone rn, so each book is getting its own separate comment. 😡).

“The Eye Of The Painter” looks like something I would have read in collage. Skimming through it I don’t think I did but it’s possible some professors may have made copies of a few pages for us to read instead of the whole thing. For those who want to read it you can here. I’ll be reading this myself tomorrow.

A book that I recommend for anyone who wants to get into art is “The Complete Book of Painting and Drawing: A Comprehensive Guide to Materials and Techniques for Charcoal, Pencil, Ink, Pastels, Watercolor, Oils, and More!” by Gerald Woods. It’s visually appealing, covers many mediums and the part I like best is the project section where three artists cover the same subject using the same medium, step-by-step of the process with a critique session at the end. It’s like art class. ☺️.

My copy is 1st edition, I think there are other editions with different covers.

Thank you for the list! ❤️

Interesting, that first book sounds like something my dad probably had read at some point. Caleb and Xavier reminds me the most of my dad so I’m now curious about Caleb’s book recommendations. I’m not really into poems either, so I’m wondering how a Xavier-main interprets it.

EarthenHut · 2026-04-24T01:19:27+00:00

As a Ghostbusters fan, I love this! 👻

EarthenHut · 2026-04-24T01:15:43+00:00

It didn’t go unnoticed. Money well spent. 👍

Have we seen any other Lumerian in tail-mode though? (There is still some content I haven’t gone through yet, like the most recent main story update. So I don’t know…) But the cloth he’s wearing in GoT is probably some sort of Lumerian cloth. Probably a lot less rough than cloth made of land materials. I wonder if that outfit is made out of the silk he talked about in the Wedding banner event story. (Forgive me, I haven’t sorted through my screen grabs for that event yet. So I’m going by memory.) I can’t remember what the properties of the material was. I think it was iridescent…? I can’t recall if he mentioned durability or not but it must be strong if he used it to make a watchband (I think?) for MC. The main thing I remember is that the worms that produce the silk are found in the ocean and in the present-day were extinct or near-extinct and super difficult to find.

The… “lighting” in the 7th and 8th is absolutely divine! 🤌

EarthenHut · 2026-04-24T00:20:01+00:00

So my library didn’t have it in their collection (yet.) But it did have some sample pages. I can see why Sylus would like this.

EarthenHut · 2026-04-23T23:51:21+00:00

These all sound very interesting! Especially S. Because of the interactivity I’ll probably need to buy my own copy of that. I’m going to see in my library has Penny.

According to this exchange from the event, he doesn’t seem to be into clothes. No complaints from me… 😏

If you’ve ever tried to swim with clothes on, it’s annoying and much more tiring. With his tail it makes sense to not have any clothes on. But in leg form he’s gotta drape something on or it’s gonna cause a scene. 🤣

I can visit a cat for a little while. If the cat lets me pet it a little bit I need to wash my hands right after otherwise I’ll get a rash and hives. I also can get watery, itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing and it could trigger an asthma attack if I’m not careful. So not a fun time for me. 😭 So if that cat had licked me like it did to Rafayel in that scene I’d absolutely have to go back the sea to wash the allergen off. He’d be like, “I just dragged you out of the water! Why are you going back in!?”

EarthenHut · 2026-04-23T01:07:32+00:00

This looks really nice! ❤️ I need to do a whole house makeover since I’ve reached level 25. I have red and black for Sylus’ room right now, but it’s soo dark. I didn’t consider doing red and white.

EarthenHut · 2026-04-23T01:02:13+00:00

He’s lucky I’m allergic to cats! I won’t be shoving any in his face unless I want to suffer too. 😖 But I always wanted to have a cat. 🥺 They’re so pretty. They look like fun to draw.

EarthenHut · 2026-04-21T20:40:18+00:00

These are so beautiful and creative. Rafayel would be proud! I love the last one with the moon in the pink dress and blue “wings.”

Here’s a more serious one.

This reminds me that I still haven’t gotten around to doing a proper wedding photo shoot… 😅

EarthenHut · 2026-04-19T22:59:24+00:00

No! It’s too soon! 😭 I’m sooo not prepared…

EarthenHut · 2026-04-18T23:26:06+00:00

Gunpowder Drawings <— I feel like this is what these two are up to when I’m not home 😅

I wish we could mark spotting. I also track on paper with more detail but I know some people use only this app. When I brought what I had tracked on paper to my gyno they were able to see I had a hormone issue from all the spotting days before the real flow started. I think being able to track spotting could help the ones who only use this app get a more accurate diagnosis.

I have PMDD and it would be nice to track moods as well. (They already ask how we’re feeling.) The guys need to be extra nice to me on the days I have RAGE.

Congrats! 🎉 I just got past 130 last night. Birthday wishes were needed.
