Well, I’m not against Disney, I believe half the claims against them are just a bit weak and exaggerated. I do know that I’ve never liked them, but I also know that I was homeschooled and thus grew up away from the pressure of what other girls liked and at a very young age I knew what I liked and I was rather rebellious (Against soc…[Read more]

@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]

@alia

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]

@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
I am immune…[Read more]

@alia

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]

@valtmy

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?

@alia

Have fun 🙂

@catwing @rochellaine @seekjustice

Hey. How’s things going? 😀

@alia WHAAATTT??? *tries not be extremely jealous*

@catwing Oh, cute!!

@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?

@alia Hi I didn’t see you there until just now.
Indeed I have. Do you like my Catwing Guard armor?

@alia

Hey sorry for not seeing this until now but I’m praying for you and your friend’s family.

My situation is not the same as yours but I recently had a major depressive episode myself so I kind of know how you feel. I have been feeling as though I am unable to handle anything; my work, my writing, my relationships with other people. I just…[Read more]

Guess what, guys? I FINISHED DRAFT TWO!!! Finally!

Now, I’m getting into some more editing, but before then, I’d love to have some beta readers comb through it and basically speak their mind on it.

I’m looking for about seven to ten betas, and I’ll be making a post on my blog looking inviting anyone to beta read, but I know some of you guys are…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I appreciate being tagged, what with my spotty appearances here. 😛 Is that profile pic new? I love it!

@alia RRRRGGGG I really want to do this… *drags hand through hair* But I’ve got to be fair and say I can’t. I don’t have the time to be consistent with it. Apologies. *clasps hands together*

@alia Well, I’m happy to read it once you’ve completed then, that’d work well with my schedule 🙂 Bye!

@rochellaine

Despite my love of the Les Mis movie, that’s not the best version (especially, if you’re just starting out in my opinion), I think the best one is the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast, that one has a really good Valjean.

Just shoving…[Read more]

@alia Yes, that’s what I meant.  Though I guess it could also stand for Rodgers and Hart, who wrote some very good musicals together too, so sorry for not clarifying. 😛  My favorite musical composer is actually Jerome Kern, but I thought you’d probably recognize Rodgers and Hammerstein better.  Did you like Cinderella?  Have you heard the Jul…[Read more]

@alia

Ah, Newsies! I’ve also listened to that one a lot, but not nearly so much. 🙂 I’ve never been able to get into Wicked.

@alia

I can try reading it (is it complete?) during August. Once I’ve finished editing my novel, I just really need a break, so the latter half of August I’ll probably be able to do it, if that’s okay. I’ve got a few other people I need to finish reading for as well though.

@alia I don’t think you want to know how many times I’ve listened to it. I actually don’t think I could tell you even if I wanted to.

@rochellaine

Nope, I haven’t listened to anything else from West Side Story.

@alia Have you listened to any of the old R&H musicals?  You like old stuff, right?  (I’m forever lamenting that @seekjustice doesn’t. 😉 )
