Good luck on your thesis! That’s a really good question. I think that it’s a lot of things. It can be escapism from the real world, it can be thoughtful discussion, it could be an expression of self, all of the above. I think that readers will resonate with different things, as based around their own personal experience. I also think…[Read more]

(So that was severely depressing. I was too committed to finishing my post last night, that I ended up typing it up until 2 in the morning, but I didn’t back it up, and it got deleted when I tried posting it😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. *Note to self: go to sleep*)

Love Corvina! Can’t wait to do Liren’s!
Liren is tall, with simple dark hair and eyes. His clothes are disheveled and dirty, but made from sturdy fabrics and leathers. He is in his late 20’s in earth years. He holds Kirrtes in his left hand. Kirrtes is an unusually long one handed sword, with a reflective blade. It also has a r…[Read more]

Assuming you are a Mormon what is your opinion on The Book of the Mormon musical?

What do you mean by degree of competence? Is not all of history a game where we must incorporate the fact that things have bias? Is prediction just a guess? Is it not good to read things that we don’t agree with to escape the danger of bubble communities?
??? Did anything I said contradict any of those questions? Are you j…[Read more]

Love the board! So if your going off of real world roots, and his old name was Kiran, meaning ray of light, then that would be the kiran from Indian origin, right? So perhaps you could get another word from India. Maybe you could incorporate his old name into it as well, saying that he was once a ray of light, but now is…[Read more]

(No distinction. He knows everything everything. The whole idea around this is basically that if you knew everything about one point (and had the knowledge to use this knowledge by knowing how everything works) then you could know everything. Also that is not achievable by humans. In a semi-paradoxial way this would allow…

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic How to write a meaninful character death? in the forum Characters 1 year, 8 months ago
Everyone already said some really great stuff, but I’ll see what I can add. It already sounds like a great story, and you sound conflicted about killing him off, so that’s a good start. One thing to consider before killing any character off is that you can’t use that character ever again after that (ignoring all revival stuff).…[Read more]

Perhaps you could have a name that suggests the idea of not only darkness, but shadowy, foggy, starved, shady curtain type word to show the idea that he was once of light, but that light has been either blocked or dimmed. Also, do you prefer real world roots, or just meaning within your world?

Flowers are awesome, you could maybe use them to calculate Pi with the petals, or depending on the kind of flower, you could use it to calculate the Golden Ratio Phi. I’ve been messing around with my graphing calculator, but that isn’t unusual. But we got a pizza in the oven, and I’m hoping to give a demonstration on how you…[Read more]

Whoopsie! 🤣😅 Well, I’m sure she’ll notice eventually! Maybe it’s just the grandeur of the sword, and she hasn’t noticed anything else because of the distraction?

Love it! I’m now curious though about why Corvina notices the giant sword, but not the blatantly broken arm holding it, lol!
