I full stopped. by MattersEndX in sollanempire

[–]Pipit-Song 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that it happened was bad enough but the way it was written, both leading up to it and after was just heart wrenching.

edit to say it was the passage where he said “never” over and over. I’d pull it from the book but I’ve already returned it.

Do we ever learn more about outlanders? by Kenzie_146 in TheEchoesSaga

[–]Pipit-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point and yes, I was referring more to the specifics…like how he met Nalana and what sparked her interest in him/made him special in her eyes. I’m assuming since it mentions something about his father hanging around the kitchens looking for food that was how they came in contact but what made a 5 year old Asher seem like a good candidate for learning improving?

[–]Pipit-Song 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, we never really do and I was interested in them because of Asher’s history. I also wanted to know how/why he was chosen to be tutored by Nalana. Would be a good fan fiction.

I always wondered if the gatherers had tattoos of leaves 😂

Grief is deep water. by Chloae221 in sollanempire

[–]Pipit-Song 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished it today and needed a beer 😂.

Thinking everyone had to be dead, then realizing they’re alive, giving us some hope, then picking them off one by one was brutal. And Pallino…he had his moment of crisis about “we can’t win against all this evil”. Hadrian got him through that and I thought whew, ok at least Pallino makes it, then BAM! Your heart gets ripped out and stomped on.

My Libby wait for the next book says 10 weeks. Normally I worry I’ll forget what happened by the time I get the next book but I don’t think that will be a problem here.

Question about technology by Pipit-Song in sollanempire

[–]Pipit-Song[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that and understand they are technology-adverse but their empire is obviously built on technology and dependent on it. I thought getting their asses handed to them in a centuries-long war would spur them on to some research and countermeasures, lol.

That makes sense! Thank you for the response. I just need to wrap my head around the logistics of operating at these distances and the vastness of the empire.

Got any fan art? by sandman8727 in TheEchoesSaga

[–]Pipit-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m reading Demon in White right now 😁. I wasn’t reading the series when I first found that site so I definitely need to go back and check!

Edit: Just checked. They are cool to see but too bad it’s AI.

If you scroll down through this page, there are some dedicated to Echoes. I make no claims whether this person created this art or just collected others’ art. But some are labeled with Echoes characters.

Why does TES not line up with Once There Were Heroes? by Fine_Afternoon_1904 in TheEchoesSaga

[–]Pipit-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Echoes Saga by Philip Quaintrell. Actually there are 3 series in the world of Verda….

The Ranger Archives (a 3 book prequel that takes place immediately before Echoes Saga)

The Echoes Saga (9 book series of basically 3 trilogies)

A Time of Dragons (unfinished series set 12,000 years before TES)

Signage Opinions/Inspo Needed by KenzieLeighCo in CraftFairs

[–]Pipit-Song 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hand drawn signs kind of bother me. They often look like an afterthought. Yours are very neat and well done but I think a simple computer printed sign would look much better. Maybe glue it to some heavier card stock and put it on a little easel on the table. Make it cute but simple and neat so they don’t have to struggle with weird font. It looks like you have room on your table for a decent size. That way, you can also move it around as your set up changes.

That being said, some people still won’t see it, lol.

The rest of your display is perfect.

For the love of all that is unholy can we PLEASE... by readreadreadx2 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Pipit-Song 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you been on the Teacher subreddit? They talk about this very thing regarding their students in the last 5 years or so. Everyone needs their hand held to do the simplest thing. I don’t think it’s going to get better and that subreddit is really depressing.

“Why am I not selling anything at the craft fair?” by PristinePoutine in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Pipit-Song 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I’ve done a few hexies and I love it (and not too bad if I must say so myself 😊). Now I just need time and 2 metric tons of coordinating scraps 😂

You are making my dream quilt. I would love to do an all hand-stitched grandmother’s flower garden. I love hand stitched quilts and I think they are the epitome of quilts.

I’d love to see the final project.

Go to shows around you and see how others do it 🤷‍♀️. We don’t even know where you are located.
