@denali-christianson,

Whoops, didn’t get this notif, sorry. And… I don’t know. Thwapling, Bekah, BR and I had to move to email after an… event… that convinced us we aren’t able to run the RP without having closer contact/adults involved. Which means that we’re talking via email these days and having a lot of Zoom calls. Unfortunately, my…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

I have some two sisters coming for Christmas, which is awesome.

Yeah, unfortunately many people tend to forget the fact that opinions can differ. Oh well

@crazywriter,

Lifelong hatred?!! Pshaw. Your opinions are your own, whether or not peeps agree with them.

And not really. We have several plans for Christmas with various members of the family, but other than that, no. What about you?

And is cold cereal soup?

In seriousness, I’ll just throw this out there real quick. The greatest commandments as described by the Big Man Himself are “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.” I think the way to weigh…[Read more]

Are pop-tarts ravioli?

Nithel smiled inside at Alessio’s laughter. Then when the laughter didn’t stop, Nithel’s eyes got a hesitant twinkle. He had made the youth laugh. (Albeit unintentionally.) *thoughts/sweet memories of home*

Nithel gave Alessio a small bow with his head. I’m glad you laughed.

Alessio coughed a few times, then after a moment, he answered.…[Read more]

Ugh. Just dragged myself over from the debate room. I probably should not enter that forum for a while so that nobody develops a lifelong hate for the name Crazywriter.

@denali-Christianson @joelle-stone

How is life for you all? Anybody have special stuff coming up for Christmas?

@noah-Cochran @emily-Waldorf

My friends, I believe the rating you are confusing with R is M. M is explicit sexual content. R can be war violence, scary movies, and the like.
I agree that the Bible does not go into explicit detail. However with a little understanding you can see that the Bible isn’t soft. It’s not cuddly. The argument you make [Read more]

I agree with you @noah-cochran

The Bible has content which, if put in media would warrant an R rating, but it is above all very discreet, so that children may read it without problem. That isn’t the case with anything R-rated in media these days; parents are warned to keep children away. As a matter of fact, I don’t believe that R-rated media…[Read more]

@noah-cochran Hey Noah! I’m doing well, and hope you are also.

R rated does not mean scary or wicked, it means that one is imbuing themselves with explicit violence, sexual language, or sexual content.

Everyone’s going to mean slightly different things regarding their definition of this, especially when talking about books rather than films, since…[Read more]

@taylorclogston and @crazywriter

How’s it going Taylor? 🙂

Yes, I have read the whole old testament, and some of it twice or thrice.

So when I say R rating explicitness, I mean stuff like sexual intercourse scenes that are either shown on screen or very much described in writing, nakedness in movies (which in a book would be someone…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

I noticed a really interesting contrast between the way Aydin told his history and how Niarok told his. Aydin almost exclusively spoke in third person, leaving himself out of the story completely, while Niarok owned up to his backstory.

I think it’s also because Aydin won’t accept it, he’s trying so hard to reject his…[Read more]

“It does not explicitly describe strong language, sexual assault, fornication, nakedness, or even murder.”

It actually does describe R-rated things in some detail, including several of these. I’m not going to reference them for obvious reasons, but have you actually read all the Old Testament?

Dang you ain’t kidding honey, I literally almost cried when I figure out some symbolism I unconsciously set up for *it was totally cry-worthy btw 😂😂😂*

LOL the authors of classics probably roll in their graves every five minutes in a school year for all the ridiculous postulations about their books!

Ooooh fun! I can’t wait to read it!!! Don’t…[Read more]

“Thank you.” Nithel sighed softly, looking at him. “So, do you have a strategy while here? Have you attempted to escape windows? Is there an attic? Or…”

Nithel’s baffled look when Alessio mentioned “strategies” the first time they met…

For two seconds, Alessio was stunned. Had he…had his friend just…? A breathy laugh escaped Alessio and…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress

Ahhghh oops — how on earth did I forget to add that in the description?? *facefist*
Yes, he does. I’m terrible sorry.

LOL, don’t worry about it! Ngl, I had a good laugh over it XD

@denali-christianson

Also a completely unrelated side note, but it’s gloomy and dark and cold around here right now, it looks like a cross between Middl…

Ha! I’ve got a good one:

Is Hamlet a good man, or a prince with a God-complex?

Would King Claudius have repented if Hamlet only gave him more time?

Quin

“I …” Ruan paused and tried again. “I’m sorry if I startled you. I was … thinking.”

Quin nodded.

“You … you’re not an assassin, are you?” Rúan asked doubtfully.

Quin smirked. “I sure hope not.” One death was enough. His smile faded. What about you? He pushed the thought aside. “How’s…how’s your leg?”

It was harder to get the word…[Read more]

@noah-Cochran

Of course we shouldn’t go into detail, but I disagree with you. The Bible is rated R in the sense that it is not to be taken lightly, and the things in it are real things that happened, and they’re not pretty. No, it’s not literally R in the sense of describing every nook and cranny, but yes it is a tough book. Yet these do not d…[Read more]
