Well, I don’t know, but I’ve read another one of Robert Elmer’s books and I was really happy with the accuracy, so I trust him 😀

Very true, we’re getting a bit off topic.

Well, that’s not true, I also know that you had a revolution and wouldn’t take England’s convicts anymore and that’s how they ended up in Australia. I’m a bit…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

That’s true, it just serves to make the behemoth a laughingstock.

We brilliant people have something referred to as a lounge which is usually approproately placed in the loungeroom. 😃

@rochellaine

Oh, its a very common term to refer to Australia, presumably because its down under the rest of civilisation. Its not offensive, but whenever I hear it used it just strikes me that the person has no idea about Australia and is relying mostly on stereoypes.

People were transported to Australia for almost no reason at all and they…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

A very small and weedy sapling perhaps?

I’ve read enough American books to know what it means, but we usually use the word lounge and couch sometimes.

@rochellaine

I’ve never read it. I’m instantly suspicious of anyone using the phrase Down Under though.

We have our “gentleman bushrangers” like Ben Hall and Harry Power, but for the most part they were a pretty nasty lost.

@Rochellaine

I don’t think even Arthur was doing that well (Mordred wasn’t one of his proud moments).

Wow! I’ve never really read about cowboys but they do sound pretty cool! All I know about them is the stereotypical stuff everyone else uses to make fun of them.

@rochellaine

(*whispers* we don’t use the word sofa in Australia)

But yeah I understand what you’re saying. I just try to say dinosaurs otherwise people look at you rather oddly.

The KJV bible mentions dragons in several places! And the Behemoth is usually said to be a hippo/elephant but I definitely think its a dinosaur.

@ethryndal

I think she’s referring to the Nephilim which are mentioned in Genesis 6:1-6.

@rochellaine

Goodness, it makes cowboys sound like the knights of the Round Table!

But really, I don’t understand why Americans have iconic, chivalrous cowboys and Australia has…bushrangers.

Yes there is, here you go 😊

@Rochellaine

I actually do! Some of it anyway. I don’t necessarily believe that dragons themselves were ever real, but I’ve read a lot about the possibility of dragons and dinosaurs being the same thing and over time, after dinosaurs went extinct, the stories of them getting more and more exaggerated until we have the fire-breathing mythological…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

Definitely will be praying!

(On a side note, there’s actually a whole thread where we can post and respond to prayer requests, which most of us visit frequently)

@dekreel Idk I guess I also have relatively selfish reasons for blogging. My blog is really just a filing cabinet full of stuff I’ve learned (that might be helpful for other people).

Whenever I learn some really cool insight on Scripture or life in general I write up a blog post about it. Or if I want to delve into story theory/mechanics then I…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking  Awesome! Thanks 😉

@rochellaine *faints*

Hmm, that’s interesting about Pilgrim’s Progress. Is something like Beowulf considered pre-fantay if it came hundreds of years before Pilgrim’s Progress?

@ashlyvye I write fantasy, primarily, but currently I’m working on something which is more like sci-fi/ dystopian. Realistic science fantasy sounds really cool :D. The…[Read more]

I have a character for someone to draw! His name is Peder. He’s got well-groomed, wavy blond hair, blue eyes, a mischievous yet charming smile, and he’s tall and lanky. He wears steampunk attire — probably including a top hat, and perha…[Read more]

Why isn’t this updated more often?!

@sleepwalkingmk  Yessss, you’ve seen Hidden Figures!! It’s been awhile since I’ve watched it, but I recall it being very good.

I KNOW! Honestly, why must nearly ALL adult movies be on the PG-13/R scale?! I agree.

@rochellaine

Goodnight!

I’ll keep an eye out for it!
