@seekjustice Copy @alia‘s answer, and add that Cinderella’s figure and face indicate that she is at least eighteen years old, a legal adult, and while that may not be moral grounds for disobedience, it is legal. Then, you also have the fact that Lady Tremain never adopted Cinderella (probably not legally, and certainly not into her heart,) and…[Read more]

So there’s a positive thing regarding Cinderella! (Whereas, I probably wanted to cut off someone’s head if I had to do a chore I didn’t like. 😛 )
Ah, I’ve never liked Tinkerbell, simply because I was an Enlightened Child who’d read Peter Pan and knew exactly what a….horrible person Tinker bell was. And, as already stated, I scorned…[Read more]

I admit to being the tomboy who scorned Disney movies and read about real princesses and queens when I was little (and still do, to be honest!). And yes, I definitely agree that ALL movies, at least that I’ve seen, promote unrealistic body images and I don’t think Disney is better or worse in that regard.
Okay, its been a long time since…[Read more]

@Seekjustice I think I have seen all of them, except Mulan and Moana. I suppose there is good and bad in them. I don’t think they have negatively affected me… Tinker Bell on the other hand. If you don’t believe in fairies, your fairy dies. To cure a fairy, say I believe in fairies a few times. When I wasn’t sure if fairies existed or not I…[Read more]

I do find it very difficult to believe in true love at first sight though. 😛 I can’t even keep up a conversation of small talk with someone I’ve only met once 😀
I do have a serious question for you: How is Cinderella purposefully disobeying her stepmother’s explicit order that she is not to go the ball different to Rapunzel…[Read more]

@seekjustice Warning: Rant ahead. 😛
I get so annoyed when people put up those memes like the ones about Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, like “finds dead body in the woods; Kisses it.” I mean, it’s like those people forgot the whole plot of the movie! Both of those princes had already met and fallen in love with the girls, and the girls as w…[Read more]

@rochellaine They are adorable. 😉 (Hope you hand is better soon)
Currently they are 7 & 9 months (You may think of what I thought when I was thinking about that. XP), a doeling and a wether.
They’re fun. One was rubbing her head against my hand. If I can teach her to do it on cue… Fist/face bump! 😛
But they are not a horse… ;P

They just say thing like princesses hold up beauty as the absolute virtue of a woman, promote that you can only be happy if a man loves you, reinforce gender stereotypes and unrealistic body images. etcetera, etcetera.
I was just curious because I didn’t grow up watching Disney movies, so I can’t really have an opinion on whether they’re…[Read more]

Well, I should be researching the French Revolution, but instead I’m sick in bed reading about whether or not Disney princesses are bad for girls. Are any of you guys watchers of Disney?
@rochellaine WHOOOHOOOO
@alia Very good 😛 That’ll make you cry all the more!
@catwing how’s your editing?

@seekjustice I am extremely proud of myself. Today, (so far,) I wrote 1236 words with one hand!! 😛 Daughter of Judas is growing despite all the vain efforts of that villain, Poison Ivy! 😛 😛

@catwing I’m not on now, but I may be later. half hour ish or more. Will you be here?
OH MY GOODNESS GOATSSSSS! I love goats! 😀 congrats! how are the little darlings doing?

@alia So exciting! 😀 😀 😀 I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, Where are you seeing it?
@catwing Goats?! You got goats?!!! Those absolutely wonderful, amazingly adorable, and perfectly terrific creatures? They’re my favorite animals! We had pygmies for a long time and their babies were the cutest, most adorable things ever!! (whoops! I used “adora…[Read more]

@alia Thank you.
Looking through the comments on my book. But I’m leaving the ones where I’m going to have to do a good bit of editing, because after I finish doing these comments I’m going to rewrite some things. Delete chapters, add chapters, change the POV of a chapter. 😉
What about you? -
Catwing replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@alia Hi I didn’t see you there until just now.
Indeed I have. Do you like my Catwing Guard armor? -
Catwing replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@seekjustice @rochellaine @dekreel @valtmy @jenwriter17 I’m doing some more comment fixing. And guess what? My family got goats today. They are cute (maybe partly because they are young). 😀

Catwing replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@rochellaine Perhaps… But I think I’ve only killed off those five characters as far as I can remember right now. I can assure you that their deaths are part of the plot. 😉
@seekjustice Maybe I should kill some other characters to even it out. ;P -
SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
No, I didn’t think so 😀 I’ve actually read a bit about the real strike, but not much. And they definitely are good dancers 🙂 Goodnight!
@valtmy And I guess I wouldn’t want to be one of my characters either!
I think I should probably go and do something with my day 😛

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@seekjustice Not by a long shot!!!! 😛 I was just using that as an example. Actually the most noticeable inaccuracy is that the real newsboys’ average age was probably around ten or twelve, so the sixteen- to twenty-year-old guys seem quite strange.
…but they’re good dancers! 😛
@valtmy Actually, since yours is a parody in the first place, I…[Read more]
