@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 @rochellaine @alia I’m so sorry, I should’ve explained that I had just come to answers Rochellaine’s question last night; I wasn’t writing at the time. Sorry!

I’ll be on today at some point though.

@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]

@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?

@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]

@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. 🙂

@valtmy No, no.  I do not like the modern trend of YA fiction where the teenager saves the world just because he…[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]

@valtmy I meant what is considered the modern period of history, from about the 1600s to the present.  I don’t like ancient history much, and don’t know much about the middle ages so I was wondering what was your favorite period out of the section of history I study the most.

My favorite period is from about 1912-1970. 😀  But I have a few o…[Read more]

@seekjustice Standards for modesty depended a lot on the time of day and the place or event.  Ball gowns have always been less modest than everyday clothing.  So has swimwear.  Women didn’t swim with men during that period, but if you go forward fifty years to the 1890s-1900s, which I know more about, you see that walking dresses covered up to th…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, do you like ballet?  I wouldn’t have thought so.

The Victorian era had very interesting standards of modesty. 😉  Showing your ankle was considered obscene and scandalous, and yet showing shoulders and even a bit of cleavage was common during certain events.  I don’t think it would be appropriate for going out in the daytime, bu…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I am watching a bit of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake on YouTube.  I found a version where they don’t die in the end, but kill the villain instead. 😀  I think I probably needed that after being reminded of Zac tonight. 😉

Hm, I don’t like Victorian fashion much, but go ahead, shoot, and I’ll see if I can help.

@ariel-ashira C…[Read more]

@seekjustice Aw. 🙂 Well, I’m here now. 😀  What are we going to talk about tonight?

@seekjustice I’m back. 🙂  Is everyone else gone?

@seekjustice I’ll be back in a little while.

@alia I would picture it sort of like the sod shanties or dugouts from Little House on the Prairie.  Those are like cottages, but they are a bit disguised.
