Well, the Swynwr has one goal really—reestablishing the elves as a power and taking back their lands from the humans. Anyone who stands in its way is doomed pretty much, be they elf or anything else. So It’s one of those double edged swords like most overly utilitarian rulers. Those are all good points and I love that the anger comes through in your post. Yay compelling characters . But would it really have to be as extreme as sacrificing his life? I mean, yeah he’s a shit and Valentina kind of wants to set him on fire and kick him off of a cliff. But I'm going to play devil's advocate here, in many ways he’s just guilty of being selfish and stupid--isn't he? That is of course outside of the whole spitting in the face of his religion thing—but he did it for love! He too lost his Aneurin—though unlike Valentina he never had him anymore than physically and the bond of friendship they’d had since childhood.

Hello folks! I know it’s been a while and I’m horrible at replying to review but today I’m going to reply to all of them on Eyes of Fire. So below you will find my responses to your amazing reviews/comments There you have it! I’ve responded to all of the reviews on Eyes of Fire! Yay! again, thank you all so so so much for your interest in my story and taking the time to leave reviews. I really do appreciate it. And nothing makes my day quite like seeing what people think about my work So I was wondering what type of action do you guys think could redeem Islwyn, or is the poor Druid beyond the point of redemption?

This song inspired Prologue IV so I figured I'd share it.. Polish folk music is kind of neat.

Can we please just keep on saying the word and meaning what it actually means, if only for the sake of clarity? I am. It doesn't have as strict of a definition as most would think. It's definition is "to whiten" or to "hide ones flaws." The media was controlled by and produced for white people, white voices and figures were raised above the rest, and as such, we are left with a predominantly white image of the period that does not accurately portray the true racial makeup of the period. This is a gross overstatement as I just pointed out. We aren't left with a predominantly white image of the period, I just gave you two examples of novels from the period that have non-white characters and there are many more of them. Viewed through an anglo lens, certainly, but there is plenty of scholarship over othering in Victorian literature. The predominantly white interpretation of the period comes from modern media more than it does any historical source. Assimilation was also considered ideal at the time. but as I said... this is a different argument entirely for another time.

Victorian England wasn't as lily white as most think, nor was it the melting pot London is today--but it was somewhere between. This was an era when the sun never set on the British Empire and trade with India and China was very important. There's also the Gypsy ( the romnichel or romani ) who while shit all over in Victorian literature get a nod in most Novels. Even Moonstone, a victorian novel by Wilkie Collins has indian characters in it. And people of african decent actually did find themselves in high society on occasion. It's even in literature at the time, though the only instance that comes to mind is Miss Swartz in Thackeray's Vanity Faire. White washing in fiction and movies is also an issue of lack of inclusion, pretending it's not is needless nitpicking. Take modern day writing set in the victorian era, it's white washed. There's a problem when literature from the actual time period features more people of color than modern interpretations. But that's another issue entirely. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go appropriate culture while I write about pre Christian welsh deities, and slavic monsters while neither slavic nor welsh. Oh and it's set in an eastern European feudal type society while I'm not eastern European so there's that too.

And I was demeaning about the people making the tweets / tumblr posts because I'm sick and tired of the internet trying to tell people when they should be offended by something. I'm tired of women on campus who have no clue what real sexism is calling everything misogyny. And I'm tired of people outside of a culture telling a people of a culture that they should be offended by something. It goes on A LOT and it belittles actual issues. I see it a lot when I grade essays, apparently letting people know they're ignorant for not acknowledging that they're being marginalized is en vogue. Maybe I'm touchy because I've been dealing with things of this nature all semester long. And yes, that argument for separation of cultures is something people are saying within the tumblr-sphere. Also the argument I made earlier is part of the horse shoe theory, that's been proven correct again and again, it essentially states that when a movement reaches the furthest part of the left it starts to lean to the far right in its ideologies. And that's what's been happening lately with on the topic of cultural appropriation. Further, when someone claims that a culture/nationality/race/ethnicity etc, should be offended because you are, you're actually... well I see Bronxie just made that point. It's also somewhat interesting that the Navajo have a tradition of embracing authors who use their culture as inspiration, and none of the people quoted in any news article are Navajo. There's a Cherokee woman very upset and an Ojibwe woman but no article I've found mentions a single Navajo as being upset over it. One mentions the Navajo praising the X-files episode from the 90s, and Hillman's novel, but nothing from verified Navajo people, (I don't count comments because they're unverifiable). Interestingly enough there was a Teen Wolf episode about skin-changers recently, and no one made a peep. --Sincerely, a multi-ethnic woman sick of the internet.
