Why do you think Aragorn wasn’t intended as a Christ figure? I don’t mean that JRRT meant Aragorn specifically to represent Christ or anything, but I think in some ways he was definitely intended to be a Christ figure.

(and I hope y’all don’t mind me jumping in here :p)

@whalekeeper @rae yeah I wasn’t saying Aragorn and Smalls were SPECIFICALLY designed to be Jesus archetypes, but the sheer fact that they are the good kings that win out over evil and take their thrones in the end means the writers were at least influenced by their worldview.

I mean, non-Christian authors do kinda the same thing sometimes, but…

@whalekeeper

to be honest, I was holding off a little bit on replying because I just am not sure how to correctly continue this, but I shall try.

Think of this another way. Shouldn’t we treat the Gospel with respect for what it is? And writing for what it is? They have different purposes.

But the purpose of a Christian is to “go into all the w…[Read more]

Whaley, I think the personality is what counts, and you have to admit, if I knew someone like Sniper in real life, I’d be immediately befriending him…to at least keep him out of trouble XD

@whalekeeper don’t have time to explain till tomorrow, but I’ll have you know I DIED lauging when I saw how confused you were.

@whalekeeper

LOL this is such a funny idea! Now I’m kind of motivated to go write, xD

I don’t know if there’s an armory in this place, so I just added one.

I rubbed my eyes blearily. Had I fallen out of bed? I put my hand on the ground. It was…stone? I leapt to my feet. “Wow.”  Sun shone through a high circular window, glinting off of what appeared to b…[Read more]

@whalekeeper eheheheheh my current WIP (that clean-but-still-kinda-junky shooter game romance fanfic) has….let me check….

16172 words. that’s enough for 32 planks, or 3 character drawings. It’s also only about half finished.

I’m not going to post all that here though because I feel like that’d be torture for you. I’ll go look for something else.

@whalekeeper

So are you strengthening your core to increase your balance in jiu-jitsu or for other reasons? Cuz I’m a volleyball player and have some really good reps for balance… 😏 (only a few core exercises tho)

@whalekeeper

Oh, i need to get some writing done so I will definitely be participating. Maybe I’ll write today and then wait a day or to for the soreness from today to go away before posting XD it looks like you’ve already had a workout here

@whalekeeper

This is an… interesting idea. I don’t know if I will participate, but seems you have a few other volunteers.

@whalekeeper

I’lllet anyone else have a chance. Tomorrow I’ll come back and snipe you again.

If you survived today and didn’t kill this post. lol

@whalekeeper

This is hilarious, which feels a bit mean to say, since I’m not the one doing planks, but it is.

But really this is kind of a good idea XD

@whalekeeper

Well if you’re still alive…. I did another 500.

You messed with a speed writer girl. That was a bad idea.

I will leave you alone now if you want.

@whalekeeper

You told me to. *shrug*

Btw, I have some other miserableness things you could do if you get tired of the plank.

Oh, I wrote 500 more words while you were busy with all that. Should I post them!!?

@whalekeeper

HERE YOU GO!!! NOW DO A PLANK!!!!

Ethan followed his brother, and the two wormed there way through the small entrance into the fort. Ethan sat up and saw that Jonas was looking in an open cardboard box. “Hey, I remember this!” He pulled out a flashlight and tossed it to Ethan.

Ethan raised his eyebrows. “Dad gave me this on my tenth…

@esther-c

But as long as they’re not like, staring at the floor or clearly not even looking at me, then I’m not offended or anything.

You wouldn’t like talking to me then lol

Ok, jk I’m (probably) not that bad.

@whalekeeper

Yeah, it makes sense, and yes, I get why people value it. I think I’m just frustrated from working a customer service job…[Read more]

His eyes slowly opened to see stone walls.

Not an Imperial facility. Not his home, either.

But something tugged at his memory, like he’d been here before.

He sat up. “Feather?” he called, his scratchy voice echoing down the hallways. His wife didn’t respond.…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @mineralizedwritings @whalekeeper Gonna have to go with your point of view here….

Think of Lord of the Rings or The Green Ember. These stories don’t have explicitly Christian themes or even mention the existence of God much, although it’s kinda implied. But they were written by authors who wished to show a deep truth–the…[Read more]
