@graciegirl Very well. I can certainly understand forgiving a story. I was really brutal with this one. I don’t know why.

Ah, there it is! Thx, @Daeus

@Daeus *chokes* Got it. Point taken. I see what you’re saying. 😛

@kate-flournoy Yes, you’re totally right, but it has nothing to do with yearning. *imagines himself staring attentively at a toad crossing the road*

@Daeus *smirks* Point taken.

@graciegirl 😛

@kate-flournoy Congratulations on connecting with the characters. I think if I could have connected with them earlier on, I probably could have liked them a lot more.

I’ll only argue on one point. Being hopeless and without a cause has nothing to do with whether a character has yearning. Because Harold. *nods sagely*

Ha! Ok, that’s really funny…[Read more]

@Daeus

First off…

And there’s a fresh one if you mouth off again.

Oh, and did you notice that the Lies that began both Cassian’s and Jyn’s arc are both passive? For the theme’s sake that was necessary, as they were learning to stand up and do something in the name of hope. That was the whole point.

You know you’re a writer when you spend most of your time staring at the ceiling, hoping the roof will cave in and crack your computer screen.

@emily-d Basically, science fiction is what it says: fictionalized science. Sometimes you don’t have to read a lot of that genre to write that genre (although it is a good idea). Reading a bunch of books won’t make you a master. A person could read tons of books and still not know anything. If you do your research and do your best work, it won’t…[Read more]

*tips her hat to you for taking the unpopular opinion*
@Daeus all fair points. I can see what you’re saying, definitely, and in some measure I agree, but it didn’t prevent me connecting to the characters. I thought it was kind of the point that they were all hopeless rebels without a cause. Though I will admit I was intrigued by them more than I…[Read more]

@graceofspades2017 Hehe. 🙂 Yes, that’s quite a bit of good input there.

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @dragon-snapper @graciegirl @ethryndal

Ok, I’ve watched Rogue One. I liked it. I hope you’ll forgive me, but for me it was a bit of a mixed bag. I understand this is a dastardly statement, so I’ll try to explain myself.

For me, the movie was clearly divided into two sections. Pre going rogue and post going rogue.…[Read more]

*stares at dinner* This is inhuman! I demand that the food be burned before someone get hurt! I won’t be forced to eat it! *parents stare at Calvin*

@GraceofSpades2017 Okay, let me first say that I think you’re tag is super awesome. XD
And with that outta the way…welcome to the Kingdom! This place is amazing, and trust me, it only gets better the more you see of it.
I’ve actually never read the Hunger Games, but from what I hear, I think I would end up joining you and @Ethryndal in the…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper uhhhhh… uhhhhh… *gapes at you* Okay. *tries not to stare* Uhhhh… if you didn’t see it, no amount of my telling you what I saw will really do much good, but I suppose it won’t hurt to go through it just in case. 😛
First of all… Jyn’s arc. From ‘It’s [‘it’ being evil and oppression] not a problem if you don’t look up’ to ‘We…[Read more]

@graceofspades2017 Ah yes, the Wingfeather saga. I’ve read The Dark Sea of Darkness, but never managed to get the other two from the library. (This is what happens when you rely on your sister for library books. She will undoubtedly forget. 🙂 ) It wasn’t my favoritest book ever, (I thought the characters could do with a little more development)…[Read more]
