Oh okay, I’ll take it to another thread. Lemme figure it out.

Even if I don’t use it here, my favorite trope is just a bunch of guys being an unlikely team. Which Keilah probably agrees with. 😂

I think “damsel in distress” can very easily be messed up because it automatically takes away the damsel’s agency in the situation, usually speaking. But I would love to see situations where it isn’t so biased towards the damsel’s savior – like maybe the damsel holds the emotional weight of the story in her hands, to…[Read more]

Aaiii! Save us, it’s a film lover!

*Strangled gasp of horror*

😈 I am evil incarnate.

Part of me really wants to see the movies, since they are touted as being so accurate and fantastic, while another part of me clenches my mental images close and growls protectively. It’s how I am with every book I read, (especially Narnia, heh…

You have pulled me from the pit of despair, only to yeet me back inside.

I must continue. I must. (I haven’t finished everything owed yet.)

Interesting discussion, points taken XD
I will go out on a limb and say that I have high respect for the movies despite their treatment of Eowyn and Faramir. There is some insane dedication in the directing, special effects, and actors which really speaks for how much the movie makers respected the source material. LotR got extremely lucky with…[Read more]

Hugo

The shopkeeper blinked, and handed Nar the press. “…Uh, I suppose you can use them for that too.”

“Come one, let’s go,” Hugo said. He grabbed her hand before she could be even more confused.

They rushed out into the autumn air, and as the doorbell rang shut behind them, their coats billowed in the breeze.…[Read more]

I don’t know exactly what Nar uses for her nursing, I’m just spitballing here XD

“Very often, they do. Medicines include herbs, yes?” The man held out a flower press. “This works just like printing. You let the medicines dry in this, label ‘em, and put ‘em in your journal for a guide. It’s always good to have the real texture under your fingertips, so you know how to find them even better than you did before.”

@rae

Got it

Hugo

“Not that I know of,” Hugo said.

Octavion hung upside down from the printing press. He pulled the lever, seemingly smashing his head with the platen. It went straight through him like mist. “Everything feels, except me. Don’t kill the books, little lady. They won’t take it kindly… They’ll bury you on land, they will… Icky la…[Read more]

Hugo gasped, whispering, “You killed it.”

“I’m so sorry!” Nar said.

“I’m joking, you just broke its spine.”

How had the girl gone for a few days without using paper? Had she attended any of the classes?

“Oh, good, it still works.” Nar held it at an arm’s length. “It’s glowing now.”

Before Hugo could grab it, the book glowed a…[Read more]
