Loading ...Temperance
Stop now while there’s no danger.
Don’t reach any farther and you won’t get lost.
It’s easier to moderate everything.
Don’t succumb to it and it won’t hurt you.
Stay stoic and calm. You are a wall and you repel everything.
Lose everything of value, lose all of your vices.
That’s what it takes to succeed.
You are a rock, you are a fortress.
Remember what it was like before, feel that pain.
Reject it.
You are as numb as space, and just as empty.
Love nothing too much.
Love no one too much.
And you are fit to guard.

I really like this. No critizism, none at all.
. So, we’re supposed to guess the characters though …? I don’t quite understand …?

I was just wondering if you knew which character went with each drabble.
Thanks.

I’m glad you added Chastity. I think that’s my favorite, tied with Diligence (of course, they’re all good).
Who I think they are:
Chastity is Minerva, and so is humility? I know you ship A/H, so it seems likely. Although I don’t understand the line about pie. Superbia is probably Foaly, but maybe Artemis. Diligence could be Opal, except it talks about an actual job. So I don’t know. Acedia is Angeline, insane. And Gula (never heard that term before- greed/avarice, I assume) is Artemis Fowl Sr.
Will you tell us at some point? Or are we meant just to ponder?

The lihne about pie was random.
Humble pie, I think I was thinking.
I can’t even remember.
I guess that I can tell you.
Chastity and Humility are Minerva.
Superbia is Foaly.
Diligence is Ark Sool.
Acedia is Angeline and Gula is Artemis Fowl Sr.
You got more right than anybody (of course).

I’m not sure I really like it, but you have lots of vivid verbs and describing words. It makes it really interesting to read. Good Job!

Hmmm…is Temperance Butler?

I like it, especially the last one, i think its my favorite

Yes, Temperance is Butler.
Glad you got that one.

I’m sorry to say I don’t understand the newest one at all. I think I get the concept, but I haven’t the slightest inkling who it’s about or what it’s referring too. Maybe I’m just being slow, it’s sort of late.
It is very pretty, though.

It’s supposed to be about Holly’s forgiveness of Artemis. It’s about her having to let go of her pride and her façade, etc.
With hints of AH of course.
That really isn’t clear. There’s no way to know that it’s about Holly.
I might rewrite/change it.

Yeah. It took me a while to guess and I almost settled for Minerva. This is a great drabble though! The ratings should definally be higher. A 4.3 at the absolute least…that’s what I love most about your writing. Your words describe the chrachters’ feelings so well…even if they can be a little vauge sometimes.
