a few thoughts on popular character dynamics and groupings
In both times when I am flying through reading material and times when it takes multiple months to finish a book, I find myself thinking about characters a lot. (Not surprising, especially for my favorite books.) Something in particular that
the balance between grace and justice in stories
It would be a little bit annoying for me to completely ignore the fact that I haven't posted in four months. But anyway, the last Star Wars movie to end the saga came out, and while I haven't fully made up
