[quote=@Dervish] [@Leidenschaft] Man, if I could like this post a dozen times, it still wouldn't convey exactly how much I loved it. Everything about it just hit me in all the right places, and you write such a natural feeling family it's impossible not to feel anguished at their plight, and forcing Solveig to make those choices just kills because they're such impossible choices to make if you want to be moral and just without giving up on your family and sacrificing yourself (I actually totally want her and Marassa to meet one day, there's so much that's similar but different between them). Jorwen's inner conflict just seeps of the Nord culture, and every time we get scenes like this that show how much war has cost him and having lost all his friends, you get a sense that he wonders if it's all worth it, but it's the only life he's known. Fuck dude, standing ovation. I'm impressed beyond words. I loved this [/quote] Wow. I actually loved reading that, and not just because I'm a vane prick, but there's always times I feel like a hack. It makes it better that I wrote half of that post drunk. Seriously, though, thanks. For real, man. AAAAALSSSOOOOOOOOO, I'm really happy that your surgery went well, dude. Thor truly was listening to my prayers, and when I sacrificed that goat and poured a libation of its blood onto my front lawn. So worth the weird looks from my neighbors.
