It being legal was kind of THE problem here. The law is at fault here. Don't go and join Nale here! Yes, Kaladin got mad & passionate, made a public claim against a lighteyes, Elhokar got mad, sentenced him to death. I totally should be equally mad at both of them here. So you're saying more evidence for his ineptness? Gr8! Shallan noted his drawings & plans of Kholinar were really well done. Navani notes that he has a knack for planning the arrangement of a party area. I am saying that Elhokar's assassination by Moash did make sense from Moash's PoV and didn't make me lose any sympathy towards his character. I have never said that’s I agree with Nale, nor that I agree with their laws. Of course that’s a bad law. What I mean saying is that it is a law. I’m merely trying to look at all sides of the issue. I do agree with your opinion of Moash, simply not your opinion of Elhokar. But since I don’t want this to get toxic and many, many discussions along these lines do, I’m going to stop here. 11 minutes ago, Lunamor said: I have finished the first book of Twilight What did you think of it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Meyer actually acknowledged the flowery language in an author’s note in Life and Death (genderswapped tenth anniversary version of the first book, has some differences that are pretty interesting). It is on purpose, though yeah, sometimes it’s...yeah. Oof, agreed. Apparently that’s more of a magical effect than it first seems? I don’t like it either. Edit: @Honorless, I’m pretty sure I’ve taken the KR quiz, but it was a long time ago and I forgot what I got. I should take it again. Do you have a link?

Well, it is, but the explanation was a bit lacking. If my memory serves me, Alice explains it to her? I don’t know. Bella needs the talk anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Sorana she/her Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Spoilers Book Four below Spoiler I hated how Bella was this saviour and then their daughter... unneccessary. How Edward ripped their bed apart, that just was embarressing for me. And how she suddenly felt herself better than humans and of course she had a special power.... @AonEne No spoilers beyond book 1 below Spoiler And the sparkling. Never forget the sparkling vampire...

AonEne he/him in an enby way Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Breaking Dawn spoilers Spoiler Yep. That first two sentences, yep. I actually found her sudden change of views from both races being capable to humans no longer having their own strengths to be interesting. It makes me wonder if that would inevitably happen to anyone who became a vampire - is it even psychologically possible for them to think otherwise? Definitely a character flaw (because Bella needed more of those ), but possibly an intentional one. Who knows. I just accepted that she was a shield. That didn’t bother me; what bothered me was that she went from having to struggle and work for it to just having utter control over it in the climax. I will say that I find more problems in the series now than I did when I first read it, like with Harry Potter, and probably almost every other book ever. I don’t get why everyone hates the sparkles though sure, it’s an atypical view on that facet of supernatural lore, but that’s why I like it. It’s new, different. @Sorana Edited September 30, 2019 by AonEne @sorana 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadCom he/him Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'm going to try a similar strategy that was attempted a few pages back, but I'm hopefully going to make it better, hoping to help myself win. Please note, I in no way harbor judgement against anyone for having different thoughts about any of these characters. Please also note, that the following statements do not necessarily reflect my opinions on these different characters, just that they represent controversial opinions. The next person to post automatically thinks all of the below. 1. Moash did nothing wrong. 2. Meridas Amaram did nothing wrong. 3. Torol Sadeas did nothing wrong. 4. The Lord Ruler is a true savior 5. Kelsier is a saint, with only the best interests of others in mind. 6.

(If we're playing normal UNO rules). But then Ethan use the NO U card to send it back to Butt Ad Venture? So Now It's completely avoided me! Perfect.
