Aye. But it could be Dark Pink, Dark Blond, Purple...anything!

I'm never going to reveal it. Just to mess with the readers. Because yes. I need my angst.

Huh.

Well, there's only one logical response to that:



Alternately, I could just link to the definition of the term schadenfreude.

scha·den·freu·de
ˈSHädənˌfroidə/
noun
noun: Schadenfreude; noun: schadenfreude
  1. pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.
    2. Shade.

Really he only has himself to blame, putting such thoughts into her head with his Noble's Secret book line.

Judging by some of the books Siesta had in canon, it might not solely be Henry's fault as there are other authors in Halkeginia... then again it might very well be his fault, if Shade ended up driving other possible writers out of business because of how successful he was, eg whoever ended up writing Siesta's books no longer did so as those stories got butterflied out of existence; so yes, it's only Shade's fault :p


On a side note, I'm kinda surprised Anne didn't meet Joseph even once after her summoning - maybe she'd be less confrontational if she became Joseph's drinking buddy or something, Joseph delegated a lot of work to Isabella so he still has some spare time. And Joseph probably wouldn't care if Anne was as rude as she is, so that's a plus. Not like he'd take advantage of her either... maybe? From bits here and there in this fic apparently Joseph prefers more endowed women. Worst that would happen is Joseph on a whim gives Anne one magical item or another, and we watch the Gallian palace burn from Myoz power abuse ^.^;

But I mean, we have some pretty compelling first hand evidence that Karin was actually the mother.

Oh my. That Illusion Mirror...

What nonsense. Next someone is going to say Marianne didn't take the throne because she uses her mourning as a excuse to spend time fooling around in the Valliere estate in disguise. Or that Marianne was suspiciously family-like/trusting/friendly towards Henry when they met at Ragdorian lake... :p

fake edit: kinda ninja'd?

That's alright. My own mental image has been halfway between 20s Tedd Verres and 20s Edward Verres ever since the whole 'dark (purple/pink) hair' thing.

discotheques were not a thing in old as fuck France, so the word cannot exist in Galia.

The bigger question: Would Gallia have an equivalent of Nightclub, period?

Also for bonus hilarity, Gibbs becomes Gandalfr and removes Louise's tsun by a combination of The Look and several Dope Slaps, Abby becomes Windalfr and becomes best buds with the Pope and Julio and Timothy becomes Lifdrasil and firmly believes in God when he gets a good look at the now mature Tiffania.

Yes. Thank you so much for this.

With mages you could theoretically argue that all men were not created equal. Mages have power from birth that others cannot replicate no matter how hard they try.

On this note, Elvish magic is basically them talking with Spirits and convincing said spirits to act, right? Besides the disdain that said spirits have for humanity, is there anything stopping humans from magicking in the same way?

Don't think so, but hey, if you want to try to pray to me for something and see what happens, be my guest.

*If it works, it works. If it doesn't, then it clearly wasn't meant to be.

Though I doubt I'll make another update until I wake up tomorrow morning. Need to catch the unfortunate wink-eye.

Yeah, but their civilization collapsed.

Like the Romans were bitching about decadence, the loss of Roman virtues and dedication to duty, etc etc in 400 AD, and young Roman kids would would be like "look old man, you guys have been complaining about the same shit for the last 2 centuries Rome is going to be just fine" and then Rome gets sacked a few years later, entering terminal decline and ushering in the Dark Ages.

Were the disney books written under a different name? It might be awkward if she learns how to read then finds out Henry has coincidentally written stories closely resembling Earth stories.

From what Isabella said earlier about the ending of Hunchback, I don't believe Shade wrote the disney version. Which would mean its public domain on earth.

A teenager might not be able to spot the differences however and might still accuse him of stealing.
 
You guys are assuming she's genre savvy like us. You do know there are certain kids that don't even watch Star Wars and don't even care. Same for Disney classics since they are too old for them.

All civilizations have a shelf life. Of course, Republics and Democracies have the shortest standard shelf-life yet known(Well, aside from dictatorships without heirs), so...
