Otherworldly Historian

@theloonyone

Nice to see you again! Ive also been quite busy with school work so I haven’t posted much either but school just ended so I guess I have more time now (?).

To answer your questions,

1. Favorite thing you have written?

I co-authored a research paper on the Industrial Revolution I think is pretty great.

2. Stranded on an island. If…[Read more]

KP deleted my post😭😭😭

Ok, here we go again.

Maybe, I do like nature as well though, so the country that this story takes place in has mountains to the west and praries to the east with forests in the middle. Trees are common in their cities. The capital, Pryde, has a river valley with paths that connect all the way through the…

@keilah-h

Yeahhhh, I know we literally do have so many RPs😂. I just really need a way to mesh out romantic relationships

@rae

Yeah! You can totally have the son in there and whoever else is needed for the dynamic

Log cabins would be fun 😉

@ducktator

Okay awesome! Yeah, me too, faaarr to many😂. (Though I also don’t think there is really…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

So what you are saying is that if one carries out Christ-like behaviour, he or she will be saved? What if I forget to seek after Him at times, being distracted by something else?  Am I doomed to go to hell if I fail to show Christ-like behaviour and if I fail to love others as much as I can?  You mentioned earlier that Christ s…

For inspiration, I did not want to go to medieval England, so I am digging into the 19th century for inspiration. They do not have electricity yet (they will soon after this trilogy), but they have cameras, locomotives, and plumbing. Style of clothing is a combination of clothing from this era and what is more typical in fantasy.…

@freed_and_redeemed

Yes, totally get that😂

If I had to choose they would definitely be my favorites as well😉😆. And those reports are fairly accurate, I think you’ll like Aragorn and Legolas for sure🤩😂😏

@freed_and_redeemed

Hiiii! And it’s okay, it’s a hard one to spell out😂

And That’s awesome to hear!! I’m so excited for you on the book front, you’ll have to tell me how the publishing process goes!!

LOTR is awesome, so that’s understandable 😂. Have any favorite characters?

And I can’t help but agree on the summer excitement, despite…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Yeahhh, that’s how it’s been for me mostly with writing this year too, and getting back in can be difficult, but good luck!!

I use a program called Krita! How about you?

And yes! I’m very excited! But I’ve definitely been there, it felt like I would wait forever. My only advice is just prepare for the tests while you can,…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Eyy, that’s awesome! Other than the Lit class, but it means more time for creative writing, right?

And digital art is pretty awesome, I enjoy it when I actually make time for it, which is unfortunately not often, but it’s still great 😂

I’m doing pretty rad! Got my driver’s License last week which was awesome wrapping up…[Read more]

Hey!! It’s been far too long, but I promise I do still exist 😂

How is everyone?

@linus-smallprint

Hi Linus, even though we’ve met now, I realized that I never properly greeted you to the Forum, so I thought I’d give a late one.

I’m the Arcane Axiom, I enjoy math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and am currently working on a universe with my sister called…[Read more]

Thank you for providing this answer. I do agree with a lot of what you said, such as how whether or not God chooses who he will save is a secondary issue and how going to a church, no matter what the denomination, does not determine whether or not someone is a Christian. However, I still would like some more clarification, if you do not mind. You…

@linus-smallprint

I have read Skyward, but only the first two books. Stormlight, I am a little intimidated by. I’ve heard Sanderson himself describing the opening as a wall you have to climb with your fingernails to understand, and when you reach the top, then you will be able to enjoy it. On the other hand, I have read Wheel of Time. Perhaps I w…

@whalekeeper

At least from what I can see, Christ did not denounce the Pharisees for trying to be right – because they weren’t. They were pretending to search for truth, and instead abused the original covenant conditions by deconstructing them into aimless laws.

I don’t necessarily see how those ideas are mutually exclusive. Mind you that I did…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh, lol, you beat me to the switch, I’ll read through your post now

@linus-smallprint

By the way, (theducktator, and thearcaneaxiom as well), what books would you recommend to a fan of Tress and Alcatraz?

Hmm, we’ll I’m biased for Sanderson in general, so I’d point to anything from him. Frugal is up the same ally of humor and flair, but you’re already reading that. Have you started Skyward? I think you’d like that…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint @whaley

(Also, as you and Whaley have suggested, perhaps we should take this over to the Apologetics chat and leave this to people who want to discuss Tress of the Emerald Sea)

I agree, so I’m just going to make the switch right now.

A couple of things. Firstly, I did not realize the term ‘Mormon’, is offensive, I am sorry for…

@whalekeeper

Indeed we do have very different theological and cosmological prospectives. It just bugs me that that needs to be where the identity of us as Christians must be. Yes, theology is important, but what did Christ constantly denounce the Pharisees for doing? Weren’t they constantly concerning themselves about being right, and Christ was…[Read more]
