Yes, it’s still the day before. Sorry, I’m not sure where everyone is either, except Violet and Alpha are somewhere on the school grounds, Nar is inside the school, upset. Chase is flying, Sef is hiding, and Jep is pursuing with El Burro, Johnny and one other person.

@calyhuge

Sorry, I didn’t see your rp.

Jep

“My, what small minds you boys have!” Jeptune cried to Johnny. “You’re like Chase! If he would just open up his mind a bit, he could unleash such power that he’d finally be a worthy opponent!”

“The eagle drops his mate at that place of sodas, Señora,” El Burro called. “Do we make chase?”

Yeah, I’ve mostly run out of stuff to say too. I still have some fire left, but I believe this debate isn’t important enough to fan by embers…besides, knowing my track record, I’d probably say the wrong thing and start a wildfire…

…and once again the German creates a conflict that she could have easily avoided if she just hadn’t opened up her mouth…

I’m tellin’ ya, Germans are the most annoying people on Earth!

@rae

I really like it! Mandin and Nahim’s relationship is probably my favorite part. I enjoyed reading it a lot. Please tag me when you have more chapters finished ☺️

@whalekeeper

Why do you think Aragorn wasn’t intended as a Christ figure? I don’t mean that JRRT meant Aragorn specifically to represent Christ or anything, but I think in some ways he was definitely intended to be a Christ figure.

(and I hope y’all don’t mind me jumping in here :p)

@rae

I can say, with a 100% certainty that Aragorn was NOT meant as an sorta Jesus figure, or to represent anything in Christ.

Really? Does a character have to be perfect to be a Christ figure?

@ellette-giselle

hair and eye color do not make a character alone.

@whalekeeper

to be honest, I was holding off a little bit on replying because I just am not sure how to correctly continue this, but I shall try.

Think of this another way. Shouldn’t we treat the Gospel with respect for what it is? And writing for what it is? They have different purposes.

But the purpose of a Christian is to “go into all the w…[Read more]

Oh, and I don’t know if S.D. Smith meant Smalls to be a sort of Jesus figure, but if he did, I’m sorry, but I’m, never reading The Green Ember again

@keilah-h @freed_and_redeemed

while it’s a stretch, you could say that Aragorn and Smalls, the king characters who take their thrones in the end, could partially be considered analogues of Jesus.

If I hear anyone saying this and actually believing it, then they will have the wrath of a German on their hands!

(I understand you’re just mentioning t…[Read more]

@grcr

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ellette-giselle

Even though this wasn’t actually Friedrich it was quite good! Like I mentioned before, your artistic skills are pretty amazing! The hair is… not quite Friedrich’s. And the facial expression isn’t really his either. (and of course the clothing is off) but otherwise pretty good.

In a short…[Read more]

@keilah-h @whalekeeper

Whaley, I think the personality is what counts, and you have to admit, if I knew someone like Sniper in real life, I’d be immediately befriending him…to at least keep him out of trouble XD

@whalekeeper

LOL this is such a funny idea! Now I’m kind of motivated to go write, xD

@keilah-h

Oh, goodie, questions about charries and worldbuilding!

odd question but what kind of accent does Mandin have? I see you’re making a point of sometimes cutting off the g’s at the end of verbs and using “ya” for “you.” I do that myself when writing characters with accents (specifically Southern  and Australian/Lower British ones), so th…

@whalekeeper

So are you strengthening your core to increase your balance in jiu-jitsu or for other reasons? Cuz I’m a volleyball player and have some really good reps for balance… 😏 (only a few core exercises tho)

also, @highscribeofaetherium don’t worry about critiques. While I always welcome it, I’m not specifically looking for it this time. I just need to know someone’s actually reading it and I didn’t just waste two years of my life obsessing way too much.

Why does everyone have a job except me? 😥

Sure, I have school, but I MISS THE HORSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@rae

I’m not very good at critiquing (at all) but I can still read them and give any feedback I can. Sometime. Probably not today ’cause I have work.
