Do you really want me to answer that question?
Well, if I had a physical copy of the story, I would know. But I suppose this could spoil weather or not Aaron survives. I know this is a trilogy, but book two could pick up with Sabina or someone else.
My Dearest, Dearest, Darling Sabina,
Tomorrow I am going to die.

Wow, that was an excellent response. It really has me evaluating some female characters I have. The points you make with C.S Lewis were great!!

Yes, a group of misfit dudes is so good. It’s like, the comfort food of fiction. 🥹

I’m moving a discussion I started into this thread. It’s kind of related.
Basically, how far are you willing to disregard gender norms in stories, specifically tropes? For an extreme example, switching a “damsel in distress” for a “man in distress.”

Oh okay, I’ll take it to another thread. Lemme figure it out.

whaley replied to the topic Fantasy/Modern School AU RP in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 week, 2 days ago
I think “damsel in distress” can very easily be messed up because it automatically takes away the damsel’s agency in the situation, usually speaking. But I would love to see situations where it isn’t so biased towards the damsel’s savior – like maybe the damsel holds the emotional weight of the story in her hands, to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Not likely with me, usually. If I don’t like something, I’m quite vocal about it.
You should see me yelling at the screen while playing Minecraft or something and my creatures aren’t going where I want them.

@ellette-giselle lolllll
I mean, if I don’t have anything to say, that means it must be good, right????

Keilah H. replied to the topic Fantasy/Modern School AU RP in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 week, 2 days ago
@ellette-giselle yeah it’s so much more reasonable when you have context and the proper meaning of the word is used (I’m sure you know all about the newspeak dilemma where people, especially important people, use one word when they really mean something else, in order to control or to convince others to do something they normally wouldn’t). I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle wowwwww! I don’t know what to say. Will he die? will he live?? I must know!!!
also, a good idea would probably be to separate the writing in his letters out with an indent or with centered text as opposed to the normal look:
After some time, Aaron took up the quill and began to write, unsteadily at first, but growing…

@ellette-giselle ok but HOW is a damsel in distress cool??
The whole “in distress” thing, from what I’ve seen, has kinda been turned into “I am a pansy and will faint or something at the very sight of blood or even a grasshopper.”
I really don’t think every female character should be the “rarrrr I’m a warrior and you can’t say no to that” kind…[Read more]

Leo
He shifted Quincy higher on his shoulder. The kid sighed, tucking his fluffy blonde head against Leo’s neck. It looked like Quincy wasn’t waking up anytime soon.
“I’m Leo. I work here.” He smiled at Kate and Brian. “And this little monkey is Quincy, my kid brother.” Or at least, that’s what the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle haha Rory’s in for a surprise if he thinks Hunter and the gang aren’t soldiers.
@calyhuge I think I said Hunter was 12 earlier, but apparently I made a mistake and he’s actually 13. Sorry everyone else! lol

Aaron and Sabina planned the wedding quite quickly after he proposed, but there’s nothing wrong with that. A) This is a different culture than ours and, B considering the fact that danger is lurking around the corner all the time for them now, so it makes sense that they would want to get married before something happens.
Oh,…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon thanks lol
and yeah, I was honestly surprised by how fast I got through the books. I thought they were longer. It’s been a little while since I’ve read them.
They’re still as awesome as the first time I read them though.
