recognize that there's a lot going on with him and I find fan-stuff that pulls back the surface intellectually engaging, and he has a lot of characteristics that normally would get to me, but overall, he just doesn't do it for me.
I KNOW. This is exactly how I feel.
Ambition is not evil! Ambition is as ambition does, same as brains or courage or work ethic.
Absolutely. And honestly, I think it's a dangerous message to send to kids.
♥! I love this idea.
Still in mourning that it doesn't exist.
What if someone had successfully intervened in time? We didn't see a war in the books like we might have expected because the plot presented what's probably an on-the-ground best-case-scenario in terms of real-world conflict, with the DE faction neutralized quickly by domestic forces. And whether or not that works for people plot-wise (I liked the last couple books, but totally subjective, I know), I wonder if that's not part of the massive appeal on some level, is this very comforting answer to the hypothetical.
I had never considered this, but it's a fascinating angle to approach it. That's a reality we'd like to live, but it's not a story I'm that interested in reading unless it's Inglourious Basterds but that's just because I'm obsessed with Shosanna. It's good for me to keep in mind, though. I like your brain!
