Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Love Triangles— what the Classical Authors knew that we don't. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
@Ethryndal YES. All that. Poor Fili. *sniff* I think I cried over it, but even if I didn’t there was shocked screaming inside. (*lowers voice even more confidentially* And I’d have preferred it if Fili and Kili died the same way as they did in the book…that’d have been so much sweeter. Defending Thorin with shield and body and all that. But of…[Read more]

@ethryndal Ooh, that’s a good one. Here are a few that I missed on the vocab test. (trust me, there are more 😛 )
Parsimonious: Excessively cheap with money; stingy
Svelte: Slender and graceful
Embonpoint: Plump
Funambulist: Tightrope walker

@ethryndal That looks great! Haven’t read the book myself, but you seem to have analyzed its theme well.
@dragon-snapper Cool; I may have to read that myself sometime. The focusing question may be stronger as just “through means of revenge or forgiveness,” but not having read the short story itself, I couldn’t say for sure.
Ha; I’m sure you are…[Read more]

@Ethryndal So much fun, and not to be missed for sure (an INTJ is giving me puppy eyes. What has the world come to.), but we don’t want to give the impression it’s all bad and so discourage anyone who’s not seen it from DOING SO! Do we now. *severe eyebrows*
Yes Bilbo! And Thorin! And lots of things which totally made the cheesy lines worth it. :D…[Read more] -

@Kate-Flournoy *gigantic eyeroll* That’s a compliment.
I like the guy too after all, even if I’m not as vocal ’bout it… (and ‘like’ is an understatement. ;))@Ethryndal That’s wonderful. 😀
Our dad thinks we’re crazy. That’s been the subject of many a heated debate between him and Kate—the Darth Vader devotee and the Kylo Ren freak. -

@ethryndal Oh yeah, I saw those episodes. It was the queen of Mandalore, though she kind of died. Obi-Wan did say he would recant the order for her.

By ye olde order of the Snapping Dragon de Pen Kingdom, there shall hence be a new order, a challenge of lances and swords and weapons of great valour. *peasants yawn* All ye, I bore ye, but not so anymore!

@ethryndal Really? Come to think of it, she does actually look kinda like Obi-Wan. A lot more than like Luke. What gave you that idea?

@ethryndal Wow, watching if 4 times must have allowed you to catch some things you may not have before, right? I like the Kylo Ren with the mask. I don’t like the Kylo Ren without the mask. 😛

@Ethryndal Dat must be it.
@Sierra-R Hey, it’s okay, I adore that music too. Even if it’s associated with some silly lines. Not all their lines were sappy anyway…they got crazier as it went, but they weren’t all bad.
The Hobbit movies still have TONS of awesome stuff in them, even if they have a fair amount of unawesome stuff. Trust me, I…[Read more]

@ethryndal *plugs my ears and plays Feast of Starlight AKA ‘sappy music’ deafeningly loud* LA LA LA CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!
😀 But you’re right, it did undermine Legolas and Gimli’s friendship a fair bit. Unless you watch the LOTR movies first. Which you should.

No! Not Rogue One yet…please, no one say anything, or I will melt them. No, I just saw the Force Awakens for the millionth time. @ethryndal

@ethryndal Excellent. *steeples fingers and chuckles* Soon your training will be complete. (sorry, I just watched Star Wars again) 😛

@Ethryndal oh boy, I hadn’t even thought of that angle. 😛 Thanks a lot. XD The LotR films had their share of problems and didn’t come anywhere close to the books, but I still loved them, and I’m still trying to figure out how the same man directed the Hobbit films. Maybe we should start a rant thread just for that. 😛
