You’re a parent-murderer??? *gasps of shock* 😀

@rochellaine

Maybe you’re just picky, but me too. Unless I really like something, as in the case of Anastasia. However, you would hate The Greatest Showman, because my biggest complaint with it is how historically inaccurate it is, including, but no limited to, the fact that there is an…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh dear. I hope you will never read up on Korean history else you will find all sorts of historical inaccuracies when you beta read my WIP. 😛

@seekjustice

It’s OK. You still have a far lower parent body count compared to me. 😛

@seekjustice

But lots of Disney and YA fiction have parents that are “dead already” so that’s not an excuse. That still counts as killing so your parent body count is three at least. 😛

@rochellaine

Haha I never minded the fact that there was not much opera singing in Phantom because that’s not really my cup of tea. But I think for the casting…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Whoops! I literally write your name on autopilot now 😀

@valtmy sorry! See above 😀 (I accidentally tagged Rochellaine instead of you!)

@rochellaine

But Christine actually only sings in an opera in one scene (The Point of No Return), the other opera scene her part is silent. And people get killed over the fact that her part is silent too.

Just out of curiosity, how many musicals are there about opera?

@rochellaine

Yep 😀 I don’t know, he’s definitely horrible, but he’s still a father. Oh, and technically, Zac’s father is dead too, but…that’s minor and I didn’t kill him. He was just dead already.

I don’t know, I hope so. Though I’m not sure that Justice’s mother, or Sapphire’s mother, really count as useful.

@catwing

Bye!

@seekjustice @rochellaine

I thought parents in YA fiction are always either dead or useless. 😛

@rochellaine

They do, for about a total of ten minutes 😛 And that’s heaps enough opera for me!

That’s true, but at least I’m not being so cliché. isn’t Young adult fiction notorious for killing off all the parents? All my characters have at least one live parent (but not all the parents have live children…)

@catwing Goodnight!

@rochellaine I’m very proud of myself, I’ve only ever killed two parent characters!

@rochellaine
I see, but…
Gary died in a car crash. A gun would not help him.
Kay’s parents (as another example of my killed characters) nearly wrecked by a truck. Her dad went to check on them and they pulled a gun on him. And there was at least three of them. I’m working on the details…
Alex’s parents had swords, but they were distracted…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Maybe I would, I don’t know 😀

I’m listening to the Phantom of the Opera currently. 😛 But I do have to point out that he’s the phantom of the opera house, which doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be an opera, just that its set in an opera house.

@rochellaine CC permit?

@catwing Poor Gary!

@rochellaine Phoebus is also the epitome of abusive man 🙁 Victor Hugo was just really into murder (he’d be even more frightening to meet than me!) Anyway, that’s my rant for the day on why I didn’t like the book. I also just don’t really like the gothic horror genre. I didn’t like The Phantom of the Opera much either when I read that.

@rochellaine I messed up your tag…

@seekjustice Indeed.
He found out to much and his conscience was weighing on him. Someone decided to eliminate him.

@valtmy

See above answer to @Rochellaine 😀 Part of the other reason that I found it really difficult was that Claude Frollo, who is the archdeacon of Notre Dame and the main character of the book, lusts after Esemerelda, who is only fifteen/sixteen years old. He even comes extremely close to raping her. When she consistently refuses his…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, in the book, everyone, everyone dies, with the exception of the small goat and the useless poet. Quasimodo drops a beam on Jehan Frollo’s head, pushes Claude Frollo off the roof, pours molten lead on everyone else. Esmerelda gets hanged and finally Quasimodo starves himself to death. That’s only the ending, the rest of it is w…[Read more]

@rochellaine

My WIP. It’s getting to the end of the despair (for now) for my MC so lots of cute moments ahead. 😊 But I’ve been looking forward to writing this part for so long that I’m anxious about it.

@seekjustice

Just curious. I know there are a lot of dark themes in both Hunchback and Les Mis but why do you find one more depressing than…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yep! (I have see or read neither)
@Rochellaine Cool, my mom is kind of interested in that stuff. I find hearing about it interesting. 😉
Praying you feel better too!
@valtmy Heyo!

@rochellaine

The Disney movie and the Broadway musical (the adultified version of the Disney musical). I’m not brave enough to see any of the other ones. I’ll be honest that the book horrified me.

@valtmy Hello!

@rochellaine

Oh dear. Get well soon.

@seekjustice @catwing

Hello.
