There can be backstory between Merida and the cast, just like there can be present day story between Merida and the cast. I just don’t want Brave/Merida to take over the entire show like Frozen did.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Here’s the great irony of the day. I’ve been working on this since lunch time (the inside took me forever…)
*sigh*
Because no one will ever convince me it wasn’t true eternal magical love. So for the red leather jackets and yellow bug. For Tallahassee and Manhattan. For coconuts and home. For the lost boy and the lost girl. Because he mattered. Because she mattered. Because they mattered.
My own humble version of fly paper for nightmares.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Guys. GUYS. SHOULD WE HAVE HOPE??????? SHOULD WE HAVE HOPE????!!!!????????? Does it mean what I think it means????????
And by this, I’m referring to the most recent spoilers.
No of course it doesn’t.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Of course he’s not returning. But there is really only one dreamcatcher in this show. Even the one in the Cricket Game was meant as a foreshadowing to the one in Manhattan and to remind everyone of the (same) one from Tallahassee.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"…I…
I….need to say things but not here.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Uggggggggggggggggggh. Sorry but I CANNOT with giving the 13 a romantic love story. How about we develop him with *friends* first?? Not everything relates to romance, A and E.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"What’s the descriptions of each house again?
Basic breakdown:
Gryffindor: brave and just
Hufflepuff: kind and loyal
Ravenclaw: smart
Slytherin: ambitious and cunning
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Which is better — to be sorted into a house at random or to be placed into a house based upon one’s personality traits, preferences, and talents? I would actually argue the latter is preferable
Oh it’s absolutely the latter. But it’s someone/thing dictating who you are at a young age. Like I said, I don’t want to do away with the houses and I don’t actually have a solution to my problem, more like I’m just pointing out that there is a problem in the way it’s presented because 1) our abilities and personalities change so much over time and 2) it does rob the students of making that active choice. What if someone really wants to be in Ravenclaw for whatever reason (family history, prestige) but the Hat doesn’t think they are up to snuff in the smarts area? What does it do then? Harry is a different case because he IS brave and just. He is a perfect Gryffindr by the Hat’s checklist of what makes a good Gryffindor.
Let me put it this way. The way I see it, we have three options.
1) Arbitrary: the student is placed into a house willy nilly, no thought or process. For the record, I think this is the worst option.
2) Sorting Hat: based apparently on traits, characteristics, but also seems to ignore child development and we aren’t sure how much choice the student (outside of Harry) has.
3) Students choose: This might be the best option if the characteristics of each house were explained to the students and if they were given a choice to also move houses if they found they didn’t fit in their first choice. However, I know that this robs the HP world of something so cool and magical as a Talking Hat.
She said that there is a clear advantage of the Hogwarts sorting hat over the Divergent system; namely, in “Divergent” the characters have to sever all ties with the faction they come from if they choose to change to a new faction. At Hogwarts, students are free to form inter-house friendships, as many students do in the later novels.
Yes, but they also get to choose in Divergent, their choice is not “made for them” via magical plot device thingy. They are shown which faction they are best suited to, but they ultimately get to make that choie So it’s almost a catch-22. You’re not allowed to associate with other factions, including the faction you were born into if you left your birth faction and if you fail your new faction’s initiation process you become “factionless” which is a whole other ball game.
example: Tris, the main character was born in Abnegation but went to Dauntless and thus had to break ties with her parents (Abnegation) and her brother (who went to Erudite)
