Characters:

~Which character(s) did you find the most compelling/relatable/believable and why?

I liked pretty much all of the main cast.

~ Were there any characters that need to be more engaging? If so, how would be some good ways for me to do that?

Not that I remember. If there were, they weren’t important enough to the story to be a big…[Read more]

@grcr you’re welcome! you have great art!

@ellette-giselle

ohhhh okay! Hmmm, would the Emperor be particularly happy with that? Like I know he probably was a follower of the pagan gods and wouldn’t like the true God in his son’s life, but I feel like he’d at least be upset that his only heir is dead.

Could also have it like in Daniel, with Darius and the sneaky advisors, where he kinda…[Read more]

@koshka

Thank you!! 💛💛

Yeah, it would.

Not normal for western comics, but that’s how Japanese mangas are—at least as far as I’ve seen. It’s got to do with the language it’s written in. Western/English comics read left to right because thats how English reads.

Japanese mangas/comics read the other way… which is cooler imo and why i did tha…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Lolol 😄 Thanks!!

@rae haha that’s cute!

@ellette-giselle What an ending!!! I hope we’re getting the next book soon.

Although, one question. Was the Christian prince the only one? Who’s gonna inherit the throne when the Emperor dies now? (Don’t tell me the priests have tried to make it so one of them will get it.)

@linus-smallprint

Never assume anyone is dead until you have seen the…

@grcr man I’ll never be able to get used to right to left reading lol

the art is great though!!

@whalekeeper that’s cool!

Also I found a cute bookmark in the Ghibli book. <3

I have officially decided research is a cool hobby.

I just need a moment to share my excitement

Just got most of these in the mail!! My thesis is due in a month and I’m trying to figure out the film+psychology angle before I start writing. I now own all of these books besides Hollywood: The Oral History. I have very little time to read, but I’m already through with two of them. Now I can rec…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Sure, he can try. He’s been trying for the last few minutes. It’s not going to do much good. He’s a sixteen-year-old kid against several temple guards.

They’re going to win.

Common sence. Got it.

btw, why Nick? Everyone does “Bob” or “Bill” around here when they don’t know the name. 

Short for Nicodemus. That’s all I will explain…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

No worries! I get it. I just wondered.

@linus-smallprint

(Another thought, the priests think Leon is dead from what I know. I don’t know if they ever learned that the arrow did not hit him. But this person wrote the letter directly to Leon.)

Ohh, good point!

@theshadow

Okay, sounds fine, but you might want to check out Ellette’s profile first. She just put some warning there about using Google.

@ellette-giselle

The high priest stepped forward so that he was inches from Dietrich. “We will take you from the palace— there is no need to draw unwanted attention. Once we have reached the temple, I will put to death your traitorous servant.”

Diedrich felt a chill run down his spine, and he darted a glance at Marius. His friend had strai…

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, it’s kind of overused, but it does make plots interesting.

Sounds good!

By the way, did you see the next chapter of TCOH?

@ellette-giselle

That’s funny! 😆 Yeah, I had no idea this was the last section, but then… once I read it, I was like, okay, that kind of works. But it was definitely a shock.

(For a reader with an actual copy of the book, it wouldn’t be, cause you’d get to see how many pages left. We’re kind of reading blindly on here. XD)

Yeah, that makes sen…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leon was dragged from the warm comfort of sleep by something sharp pricking his leg. He readjusted, shaking his leg, but something pinched him. “Ow!” he exclaimed, bending over to inspect the pricking.

At that moment, something whistled overhead and struck the chair. Leon hit the floor and rolled to a crouch, the annoying pai…

@ellette-giselle

The END????

I feel like Marius and Prince Dietrich will come back. The way you left it, it does sound like an eyewitness saw their deaths, but… Why would you have cut the scene off so soon? It feels unfinished. If you didn’t intend that, maybe you should make it clearer that they did die.

I don’t know, I guess I’m just used to…[Read more]
