Wowsers. That’s a lot! Sounds fascinating, though.

I’ll try to find that article… I think it was in Jstor…

@rae

AHHHH! It’s perfect! I love it.

Characters:

~Which character(s) did you find the most compelling/relatable/believable and why?

I liked pretty much all of the main cast.

~ Were there any characters that need to be more engaging? If so, how would be some good ways for me to do that?

Not that I remember. If there were, they weren’t important enough to the story to be a big…[Read more]

@grcr you’re welcome! you have great art!

@ellette-giselle

ohhhh okay! Hmmm, would the Emperor be particularly happy with that? Like I know he probably was a follower of the pagan gods and wouldn’t like the true God in his son’s life, but I feel like he’d at least be upset that his only heir is dead.

Could also have it like in Daniel, with Darius and the sneaky advisors, where he kinda…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I hope so too! It’s up to the others if they’re read for the next one.

Although, one question. Was the Christian prince the only one? Who’s gonna inherit the throne when the Emperor dies now? (Don’t tell me the priests have tried to make it so one of them will get it.)

Dietrich was sole heir. His brother died as a baby.

That is…[Read more]

@rae haha that’s cute!

@ellette-giselle What an ending!!! I hope we’re getting the next book soon.

@grcr man I’ll never be able to get used to right to left reading lol

the art is great though!!

@whalekeeper that’s cool!

Also I found a cute bookmark in the Ghibli book. <3

I have officially decided research is a cool hobby.

I just need a moment to share my excitement

Just got most of these in the mail!! My thesis is due in a month and I’m trying to figure out the film+psychology angle before I start writing. I now own all of these books besides Hollywood: The Oral History. I have very little time to read, but I’m already through with two of them. Now I can rec…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Common sence. Got it.

Thank you.

No girls fighting with broadswords as big as they are.

No boys wresting free of a group of well trained, armed men.

Short for Nicodemus. That’s all I will explain.

ahhh…. I think I see where you’re going.

@ellette-giselle

No worries! I get it. I just wondered.

@linus-smallprint

(Another thought, the priests think Leon is dead from what I know. I don’t know if they ever learned that the arrow did not hit him. But this person wrote the letter directly to Leon.)

Ohh, good point!

@linus-smallprint

Oh, one other thing. @hybridlore says it seems unclear that the prince is dead. I don;t know if you saw our conversation, but if you did, what are your thoughts?

@linus-smallprint

Sure, he can try. He’s been trying for the last few minutes. It’s not going to do much good. He’s a sixteen-year-old kid against several temple guards.

They’re going to win.

On a side note, I wonder what the Priest’s motivations are (other than hatred of God). Seems like control over the people may be a big one, possibly w…

@hybridlore

Yes, I did!

I’m so sorry, I was swamped yesterday. I’ll get to it as soon as I can.

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, it’s kind of overused, but it does make plots interesting.

Sounds good!

By the way, did you see the next chapter of TCOH?
