Unfortunately due to an overload of school I didn’t have time to do this. Hopefully I’ll be able to do the next one.

@freed_and_redeemed

It’s so tragic. Poor Hans. 😢

@linus-smallprint

It was actually not Betsy. It was Corrie and Betsy’s Niece, Peter and Reuben’s brother, and it was Peter and Reuben who were under the table because someone had seen them with the Jews and informed on them. (At least, that’s what it say’s in Corrie’s auto biography.)

It doesn’t really change anything tho, and I can respect…[Read more]

@whalekeeper In my mind, I see it as:

Protagonist–The main character or character whose arc we’re following. The POV character in a first-person story.

Hero–Subtype of protagonist. Usually someone with a sense of good and evil, a person with moral standards they won’t break unless in an extreme situation, a person worth emulating at least by…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Aw! It’s so sad. I love it.

Discussion question. What is the difference between a protagonist and a hero? What qualities do you like to see in a protagonist, and do you prefer them to be a ‘hero’ or nay?

I’mma throwing this out there because I like reading people’s responses. 🙂

@ellette-giselle

Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason. For instance, I had a character in a book who was cursed by the gods of his people because of a prophesy, but when he came to Christ he was able to flip that on it’s head and say, “you know what, I was cursed. But so are all of you. We are all cur…

@rae yeah I can see that.

idk about misunderstood but tragic definitely.

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh, don’t make me cry…Poor Hans.

I need to write a fanfic one day in which Hans lives! it has to happen!

@kielah-h

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that the…

@freed_and_redeemed ugh you’re making me sad now

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that they were good reasons, mind you, but it means that it upsets you that he went down the path of…[Read more]

Anyone want to see a Hans aesthetic? 👀

@calyhuge

Oh that makes sense! Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason.

(Come to think of it, if you enjoyed this snippet of my worldbuilding you might enjoy my full on WIP I “borrowed” these characters for, I don’t think I’ve ever shown it to you specifically. It’s a junkpile but it’s at least a semi-coherent story and much cleaner than many works I’ve caught glimpses of in the fandom.)

I’m game! I think…[Read more]
