@dekreel If there’s no magic in them, and I don’t think there is from what I’ve heard, I might read them. 🙂  Just give me time.

I love my character!  Except, I would never have allowed that Troll to stay.  I would have disbeliefed him right away, and he wouldn’t have even gotten a chance to explain.  😀

Poor Dekreel!  Was I really so mean as t…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Ahhhh, I won’t scratch you. However, I’m going to scream at you:

READ THE WINGFEATHER SAGA RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

Okay, I’m done. 😉

Oh wait, you don’t read fantasy… *scratches wall*

Congratulations, you have been elected to be sheriff of the R.S. Well, okay, technically you founded it…

@seekjustice I think part of the point of Romeo and Juliet was that they were too young to know what they were getting into, and too idealistic because of their young age.  Do you agree?

@dekreel *screams* *doubles over in laughter* Oh my goodness!  What have you done to me? 😀

Do you know I actually have no idea what Aerwiar is? *hides before you scratch me*

Ohhh, wait!  I think I do remember hearing about it.  Isn’t it from the (can’t remember the name…Wingfeather? something like that?)

@rochellaine @dekreel

I just looked up the average age for marriage in Elizabethan England and boys were legally allowed to marry at 14 and girls at 12 but boys usually got married at around 21. I imagine girls would have been younger, but thirteen seems a bit excessive. And since the woman’s main task was to have children it does seem strange…[Read more]

Heya! I posted a new part of the KPA 😉

Another one of my favorite parts. For good reason. Mwehehehhh…

The GIF-Hiders: An Easter Story

Part Nine: Disbelief

“Halt!!” barked another new voice. “Halt in the name of the law!”

Jenna pulled her palms from her eyes, and peeked at the troll, who, much to her relief, hadn’t squashed Valentine. His foot was in mid air, and Valentine…[Read more]

@seekjustice  It makes me wonder if marrying at thirteen was common during that time? I suppose so since they wanted to marry Juliet to Paris. Still… I would think that a thirteen-year-old would value life so that she wouldn’t have to kill herself if her lover died.

But I suppose that’s symbolic, come to think of it. I wonder…

@seekjustice Yes.  Totally pointless.  It shows you the importance of communication.  One thing I really hate about it is that I absolutely adored the character of the priest who counseled Romeo amazingly well and married him and Juliet secretly and sweetly, but then completely failed to help in the end when he held the information about Ju…[Read more]

@dekreel I know right!

@seekjustice  That does seem a little weird for a thirteen-year-old…

@rochellaine  Ahh, I should have known. XP

@rochellaine

It’s not so much that Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy that I dislike, it’s more that it’s…a pointless tragedy, I guess. Also, Juliet is thirteen years old. Am I the only one disturbed by that? I will try West Side Story though, when I get a chance.

@seekjustice The only thing that reconciles me to Romeo and Juliet’s sad end is that they did actually get married before they died.  I think most people forget that part.  My brother hated West Side Story because he doesn’t like sad endings.  You, on the other hand… 😀

@dekreel Hello!  We’ve been talking about musicals, as usual.  Bobert isn’t…[Read more]

@dekreel

*frowns at 939 posts* I am going to be one soon too!
Um…we’ve been talking about musicals. Aren’t you shocked?

@seekjustice  @rochellaine  Hello! I’m doing some formatting, and hopefully some writing in there, too. What have we been talking about?

BTW, Rochellaine, CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING AN ECCENTRIC MENTOR IN TWO MONTHS!!!!!! That’s amazing!!

@alia  Coming right up XD

@rochellaine

Each to her own, I suppose. I haven’t listened to West Side Story yet, but I am slightly worried about it, because I despise Shakespeare, particularly Romeo and Juliet, so I’m not sure how I’ll like a musical retelling of it.

I guess that’s something.

I’ve actually edited a whole chapter of my novella!

@seekjustice And I’m just the opposite. 😀  I would probably love Newsies and Phantom if they were done by singers from the 60s.

And that’s why you might like West Side Story, since it’s about fighting, and the songs are more modern.

Sierra Boggess is on the better side of modern singers, at least. 🙂

How’s your work going?  I have actua…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, I see. I would probably prefer The Sound of Music and other musicals like that if they were more modern. For some reason, I’ve always really liked The Sound of Music (probably because I really like war stories), but I can’t stand the songs in it. They’re annoying. I’m sorry.

Don’t like Sierra Boggess? oh dear.

Okay.

@seekjustice I actually listen to hardly any modern music, including musicals.  I just started listening to them because you’ve been recommending them to me. 🙂  I don’t know the names of hardly anyone, and what I mean when I say I’ve listened to a lot of modern singers is that I’ve listened to/seen new versions of The Sound of Music or other su…[Read more]
