I subscribed to this topic so I keep getting notifs 🤪

But this is an interesting conversation. I think I can agree with both points you ladies are making.

Yes, men and women have roles predetermined by God. I’m not going to marry some guy who relies solely on me to protect and provide for our family. (Nothing against stay-at-home dads, but you k…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

yw!

@whalekeeper

Ig it’s kinda nostalgic for you. I only play minecraft rn but I want to branch out someday.

@ellette-giselle

Wow, her hand on the bow is perfect.

@whalekeeper

Wow those look so good! The gloved hands look kinda hard!

Do you play hollow knight? I’ve heard great things about it.

Lol completely messed up your tags

@ellette-gidelle @whalekerper

I agree with a lot of what you said, Ellette. Good points. Here’s the thing though.

That’s an extremely blatant example. I’m more interested in the possible nuances.

A man who leaves a woman to fight for him/rescue him is no man.

Agreed, but what if he has no choice? What if the villain has him tra…[Read more]

Min I’m so sorry I haven’t been active at all lately, I went on a trip with my family a few weeks ago out to Idaho and it was soooo fun but now I’m trying to catch up with all the school I missed lol 😭😭 I’ve missed you so much!! How are you doing?

Pls don’t ever apologize! I’m just happy t…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

😠 Yeah you better run

XD jkjk

I know you said you like Gimli more in the movies which is totally fine. I like almost all the characters from the books the same as I like them in the movies. Exception being Faramir because book Faramir was a totally different person.

and you’re welcome! I’m almost finished with my tenth book. It’s a picture book, so not much in the way of like drafting and writing and stuff.

@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.

also congratulations on the book you published!

@ellette-giselle lolllll

I mean, if I don’t have anything to say, that means it must be good, right????

@smiley ohhhh my friends used to read those a lot! I recognize it, though I never read it myself.

@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…

@smiley that was funny, who are the non-marvel characters again?

all that to say, I really don’t like the damsel in distress trope cause it implies that being “in distress” is all the character’s good for.

@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]

@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

@theducktator I think it’d be either, depending on what He wanted to do with the river haha
