I admire your style, which is colorful, if monochromatic.

This quote is totally making it into my sig.

Haha, interestingly enough my favorite part of the writing process is character development--but that's something I prefer to reserve for longer pieces of fiction rather than short stories, which for me are explorations of the human psyche. Short stories are how I make people terrified or emotional, and epics and novella are where I develop complex and conflicted chars. There's happy moments in those, too.

I guess the reason I prefer more emotionally questionable themes to happy go-lucky ones is because they're a lot more complicated--it's a lot more stimulating for me to have the reader fret over a dying char or shiver at the description of a ghoul than it is to talk about how fairies frolicked through the meadows the day the angels woke to give kisses to fair maidens throughout the land of Lovington.

This is just for the weekend write-off. I gotta write stuff for my privy lexis and Velox's prompts and challenges at some point--got a neat idea about a casino called the 'Hotel California,' in reference to the line 'you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.'

Oh yeah. Get me up there.

Hey, just posted mine in SS, you better watch your back.

Haha, why the misgivings?

Yes, we would all like to hear. You should probably say stuff like that in your blog.

Hey, I like to be considerate and ask before shoving random words in your faces. People might not want to hear.

Anyways, the entry's up--lemme know what you guys think!

I swear, I'm running for president just so I can be in DC next time it happens.

Why were you looking through my window last night?

I lost my Avhokii and noticed it in your avatar so I followed you home to make sure...you owe me Takanuva's face.

What's your favorite mineral?

Easy one. Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

*in gravely voice* WHERE ARE THEY?

 

Merida

RIGHT HERE

do you dream about farm animals

I do when I go to bed hungry and with a knife.

Of course I know Nuju, I've been here three times longer than you have.

How're you planning on thwarting a group that more than triples your size?

Who's in the ILS (RPers and their chars, I mean), and whose char is Heuani?

"I'm gonna name her something majestic, like Beauty, or Majesty..or Debbie."

What happened? ;_;

I can make a char, if you guys want, always willing to get in on the action.

But first I have no idea about the background of any of this. Can someone brief me in?

Fedora the Explorer.

I mean, part of his magic was that he had no character, and I feel like Nolan consciously made that decision--he's a symbol, like Batman talks about all the time. He's not meant to have an alias or backstory, and the toxins tie him to a physical body, which I think is sort of contradictory to the point. He's supposed to be beyond human limitations, including biography, and be more of a manifestation of terror and anarchy.

Thought it was interesting, by the way, that the anarchist plot Joker rants about all throughout TDK actually happens through Bane in the next movie. Make of that what you will.

I dunno, I think the sheer terror Joker assumes kind of makes up for it. Obviously he makes that movie, that's a given.

Eh, I like the idea of Ra's but he's too cheesy and in my opinion actually seems sorta arbitrary--they could've developed him so much more, I always looked at him as a plot device.

On the reverse, maybe the reason Morgan Freeman's so old but still acting is because he's still got something more amazing than everything else to put out.

I mean, I'm not exactly teasing him--I guess that came off as that, sorry about that. My point, cut the humor, is that he was an exceptionally talented professional whose knowledge of the humane and emotional is far beyond a point I can even understand. I'm trying to praise him, not belittle his death.

Yeah, that's totally true--I mean, there's a pre-established order of things in every area of life, mathematics, music, writing, science, everything. It's not like before the number five was invented there could only be up to four of things.

Which is a simple way of putting exactly what I'm saying about music--it's a beautiful connection to the divine that we don't create, we just find.

True story. If you're into the whole power of music over words thing, you definitely should check out Explosions in the Sky--listen to The Birth and Death of the Day and What Do You Go Home To?

O.o

I have been disturbed.

You've pretty much screwed yourself as a writer. You just required us all to talk in passive voice all the time.

If you dreamed about farm animals, what would the capital of Syria be?

Also, what's with the similar names and numbers on all you drones?

Also hai ET I missed you :3

Hey man, remember that image-only comments aren't allowed. -Sumiks

Onarax--That was easy xD

LL--You may live if you pay tribute.

Haha, true...I might scrap the civilization building thing and just, at an official level, make a system for battles and stuff. Members establishing alliances and factions essentially does the same thing as building civilization without going overboard, since now when two people become friends you have two entire crews who follow each other around.

How do I get the approval of you noobular folk? You young whippersnappers are too hip for me.

There should totally be a member-run greeting club--like, non-staff, since they already got the whole NMQ&A thing going on, which is totally effective but rather impersonal.

Despair--HAHA yes, with Dracula and the Count from Sesame Street.

CG--I guess. I feel like I have to compensate by having a spree of activity to make my name known.
