of the same thread (post#32) also? I believe the whole post is worthy of nomination to Best Post of the Week, so I will now proceed to nominate it there

This made me laugh a lot-

I had a general lack of respect for teens when I was a teen. Now that I'm older, I have extended this general feeling of disdain to the entire population. Some of us are just crabby, pessimistic people.

It was from lord of dor-lomin on the Dumbing it down thread.

Now that is a mighty word of command, one would consider unwise to break unless one had a floating IP (deceits of the Enemy, such an IP would seem, than )

As dark and as pointed an exchange as I have encountered in a while. Availing yourself of Canonicity for your bed-time reading probably will help you to enjoy the bouquet - same old thing, but terse this time

"Now, good captain, when do we leave? I am hungry for the blood of the beautiful."

This was made by Aylwen Dreamsong and is from a rather older post and, as you may have guessed, it is from an RPG, namely Bloodstained Elanor, a game from about this time last year. This game is one of my favourites: the writing standard was spectacular throughout, I think, as were the characters. But from all the RPGs you play, a few lines stick in your mind, and this one always has. It just takes such an unusual, bittersweet perspective on the elves. Ehan, Aylwen's character in 'Bloodstained Elanor' came out with some marvellous lines, but this one particularly has always stuck with me.
