@seekjustice Ten o’clock? After knowing me, do you think you even have the right to consider that late? 😛 Yeah, you’ve talked to me a few times as late as that, I think. When I get up at 7:00 or 8:00 and post sometimes you’re still awake.
@sarah-anson THE KINGDOM IS NOT DEAD! Why would you suggest such a thing?! 😉 Well, glad you’re back…[Read more]

@seekjustice @sarah-anson Talking about musicals without me, are you? I’ll have to remedy that. 😀 Let’s see, Sarah’s questions were which of us have seen Broadway musicals and which were our favorite musicals, right? Okay, I haven’t seen any musicals on Broadway, but I’ve seen several Broadway musicals in other theaters. I saw Mary Pop…[Read more]

@seekjustice I am back now. Only for a short time, though, since I’ve got a lot of studying to do now with finals coming up and need to go to bed earlier than usual. Unless, of course, I happen to keep talking. As usual. You’re a very distracting person, always keeping me awake chatting in the middle of the night with no consequences for you…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, like I told you before, I’m quite timid of meeting you in real life. 😮 You really have a sabre from Babylon, right?
Ariel, if you’re reading this, please realize I’m joking. I’m not afraid of SeekJustice at all, and we’re just having fun. There, does that help?
SeekJustice, I’m going to depart now for a while. I’ll pro…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, thank you. 😛 Yes, the first author that came to the top of my head was Jane Austen, but I know you detest her works, so that’s not a very good recommendation of an author who doesn’t kill characters, is it? 😀
I see. I have mild asthma too, and used to cough for months after getting a cold. I took a spoonful of raw honey ev…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Sorry, bad choice of words. Thanks for correcting me on that. It was meant to be a joke, of course, and mean something completely different than the way you read it, but I can see how it could be taken in a wrong way. Of course elderly people are just as important as younger people.

@seekjustice Oh, yes. I see that was a useless argument. But you see, I’m desperate. I’m so ashamed of myself for killing a character that I can’t think straight enough to find any good arguments.
If only it had been a good death scene, with an important character who caused great mourning when he died, and who the readers would weep over – li…[Read more]

@seekjustice *hangs head* I-I’m sorry!! I honestly don’t know how it was possible that I forgot about him. But…he needed to die, and I think letting him die was the nicest thing I could have done for him. If he had lived he would have been the subject of great persecution, according to my understanding of the situation. And, he was in his…[Read more]

People of Kingdom Pen, I have a confession to make. I have just realized that I have led you to believe something false. I don’t understand quite how it happened, but I am glad I found it out and am able to rectify my mistake…
Now before I freak you out any more, 😛 don’t worry. It’s just that I just realized I have actually killed a ch…[Read more]

@seekjustice Wow, that’s very pretty! And yes, it looks pretty accurate. The belt could be worn a little lower, but it’s fine where it is. I can’t see the hemline, so I can’t tell about that, but the top looks great. I’d also need to know what year or years specifically if I were to check the hemline, as you can see from the chart I showed Val…[Read more]

Yep it’s in the middle of the afternoon here. Goodnight to the two of you anyway 🙂

@valtmy Wow, that was very interesting. Thanks for introducing me to it!
@ariel-ashira It would seem so. Probably not the best idea…for me at least. 😛 @seekjustice of course won’t be going to bed for several more hours, and I think it’s daytime where Valtmy lives too, isn’t it?

The Singing Revolution is a rare non-violent movement against a very violent regime that actually succeeded. You can read more about it here. 🙂
Haha I know the Roaring Twenties is not exactly a decent period but I don’t think that can be said for any time in real life history. But I like the 20s and 30s as a setting for the shows I…[Read more]

@seekjustice Do you mean the movie or the musical? I haven’t seen either, but I’ve seen clips of the movie. I can’t find pictures of the costumes worn in the musical, and if it’s in the movie I’m not sure what dress you’re talking about. Do you have a picture?

@valtmy I’ve not heard of it. 😮 I know mostly American and a lot of British and a very little European history. 😛 That sounds really cool, though! I’ll have to look it up, or can you tell me more about it?
Well, but of course there were flappers! There were a lot of flappers. It’s just that the 20s are portrayed as though every single pers…[Read more]

Ah… so do you like the Singing Revolution in Estonia where the people won their independence through song? 😀
Aw… no flappers? 🙁 But I do like those outfits too. I imagine those skirts and hats coupled with the music of the Jazz Age… Gives off a classy vibe. 😉

@seekjustice Haha, yes, Gibson Girl fashion is a bit extreme. I much prefer the more sensible WWI era fashion. However, I do enjoy the Gibson Girl cartoons when I can find them. They’re very amusing.
Oh, that collage is sweet. 🙂

An Australian based fantasy makes me think of Ned Kelly for some reason. Maybe you can write about him and his band of outlaws in a fantasy setting. 😂
Yes the hanboks are so pretty. I can do research and stare at the pictures all day… ☺️

Both rebels and monarchs are heavily romanticised in fiction but recent trends have favoured the underdog. So I have a soft spot for rulers who are trying to do their best to run the country but keep getting impeded by the Standard Rebel Heroes who think they know better despite their youth and inexperience.
Um… since most of my…[Read more]

@seekjustice What do you think of the pre-WWI Gibson Girl fashions? Ah, the Olympics are very interesting. And they were very different from what they are now!!
@valtmy There aren’t many monarchs that interest me greatly for some reason. I’m very fond of Lady Jane Grey and her cousin Edward, but other than that I usually prefer the people wh…[Read more]
