Does stuff not get scheduled for different hours over there during Ramadan? I know my partner, who is a professor, made available an alternate exam slot this Monday so that observant students could take the test after sundown and a meal, as opposed to making them take it in mid-afternoon when they'd been without food for eight hours. I figured that in a Muslim-majority society there'd be more stuff like that.
If you're curious, you can check out this article for my country. Gist of it is that working hours are reduced by two hours and several establishments change their working hours. You're still expected to tough it out, because the pain and suffering is part of the process. You're supposed to understand what it's like to live hungry. There are ways to mitigate the hardships though, like Suhoor, where you eat/drink right before sun up to make sure you have enough for the day.
It would probably just keep the name. Not that it's likely to ever stop being an Empire without collapsing, but names aren't required to be accurate, and people don't like change (also change like that is expensive) so it doesn't happen. If the UK were to suddenly stop being a monarchy, I'd be surprised if we bothered to stop being the UK.
It's fairly common for multiple religious observances to occur at around the same time. Especially around the equinoxes and the solstices. It's because they're easily observable phenomena.
I mean, Passover and Easter occurring at around the same time would rather make sense. Easter is intrinsically linked to Passover.
He sounds emotionally constipated even when he's endearing. It completely ruins the vibes. It feels like he has one setting regardless of what lines the VA is reading, which makes the whole scene weaker even when the writing is exquisite. It doesn't matter if he's talking about a miscarriage or talking to a goat, he sounds the same. I like him, but it reduces the points I would give him as a character.
Similar, but the difference is we don't dress up in costumes or anything, and it's not about scary stuff. Garangao is all about looking pretty and fancy. Lots of people dress in black and gold to emulate the Kaaba for example, but the goal is to look good. The sweets are also different, but that is to be expected.
Eh, its hard to communicate how fitting it feels for him to me. Mostly cause I grew up with the books I guess. The moments when you see him visibly breaking under strain tend to be rather impactful.
Yeah, i can understand how that can be jarring when you are mostly unfamiliar with the premise. And even if you are, people that find it nearly impossible to emote are perhaps not the most captivating protagonists.
I could go over the basics with you if you like.
That sounds good. DM me when you want.
Cadaeth didn't know that it was Drycha we split in half, but I find it amusing that Cadaeth didn't even blink at Mathilde's feats while Paranoth did an actual spit take. So much for his sagely old man image. He should be better acquainted with Mathilde's deeds!
