Time? What's this? I should be sending something in before Monday morning the latest, and I will have full days the entire next week except for Monday itself... (And that's excluding various odds and ends.) Then again, I can't really do much, unless we decide to skip ASTA in line and post Aemoten/Iridiel/Etakar/Domhnall (pick Iridiel and at least one more, whoever of those is actually involved) first. I could bring up some old things, though... (Believe me, I've not actually forgotten anything. It's mostly a matter of having to actually figure out where everything is, or again, relevance and priorities... If something is needed, I'll most likely have it.) - Right now I'm just glad to at least be back in my own house, to be honest; after spending so much time with the relatives from my mother's side (and I tend to connect with this side of my family much less than the father's side) the past two weeks, I somehow began to feel that I physically didn't fit in my parents' house anymore... Even my mother herself admitted that she's a bit tired of her own relatives, which is ... something. Since Valderoth has been mentioned, I also recalled a random thought back in the day, which in return linked to something I had read even longer while ago. Namely, an author pointing out how far removed the modern Western definition (or rather, more aptly, depiction) of "sloth" as one of the seven sins has gone quite far from the original Latin roots, and how the Latin word [i]acedia[/i] (?) originally referred to something much closer to [i]mental[/i] laziness. ([i]"Acedia (also accidie or accedie, from Latin acedĭa, and this from Greek ἀκηδία, "negligence") describes a state of listlessness or torpor, of not caring or not being concerned with one's position or condition in the world."[/i] says Wiki, now that I actually try to look the word up. The seven deadly sins article matches the same word to sloth, too.) - I've gotten the impression that there is at least some inspiration from the seven-deadly-sins-sloth in creating Valderoth, and through that it associated, especially with how Valderoth has been described (which is actually very intelligent and also putting said intelligence to use, if solely for the sake of his personal convenience ... as opposed to simply not caring enough to think, which the original Latin definition would imply). By all means, it might at least demand some manner of respect, seeing someone display that level of genius* [i]just[/i] to get out of something that, to an entity of his particular lever of power, should be easier (or at least remarkably easy) to simply do and immediately forget about... *If you ever see me typing "genial" instead of "genius" where the latter is supposed to be as an adjective, then it is one of those cases where I know this is wrong and I've probably not proofread what I wrote. That's yet one more of those cases where some subconscious part of my brain decides that a language [i]shouldn't[/i] work this way, and not consulting the conscious part of me... Whose turn is it in Zerul? Mercinus'? (...But, Jack. That demonspawn [i]did[/i] make a brief appearance a while ago, right? No, I'm not letting it go. I found a solution to something, and now I want to know whether it is a correct one.) *Notices that the soundtrack of Blitzkrieg has changed owners.* I am half-inclined to try and find soundtracks for my own characters, but that would have be an exact enough match for it to be safe enough to say that I am not likely to find one. Save for me trying to compose something myself, anyway, but that would be delving into software or instruments I have no experience with... (Never mind time to experiment with. Especially time.)
