I was on the case... I had the bastard dead to rights... But I was foiled by my own shitty notekeeping...

Congrats to Ace for winning. Thanks for hosting, MHD. Always lots of fun to be a part of these.

Dang. These were both pretty good.

I liked Story A's buildup of the rebellion, but I also liked Story B's twist ending that reminded me of The Mist. I also like how each author went about the prompt, with Story A taking place over a declining period, and Story B being the first and last day of the King's rule. I like the offhand details about the kingdom's current situation in A, with a mentioned loan (and subsequent tax raise) being the root cause for the rebellion. I like the foreshadowing with B, with the whole "the empire will torture the shit out of the king if the get him" and "I will be by your side until my last breath" stuff.

I'm gonna go with Story A, but only because B felt a little bit abrupt. We don't really get to know King Peter or Sir Edward all that well, essentially only for two scenes before the story ends. I know more than anyone now that there's a word limit to these things, so you can only do so much, but I think Story A manages to characterize more within that limit.

Facts and Logic.

Okay, but if God wired us differently, and purposefully with divine intent for each change, then if God can make you stubborn, God could also make other people gay. And if God could make people gay, then God already accepts them for being gay.

Therefore, if God made you gay, then God made you gay ON PURPOSE, and you should be gay, and you'll be accepted and loved so long as you love God back.

So in the end, being gay is fine. It's loving God and his creations that matters.

Okay, so then God didn't make you stubborn then, YOU made you stubborn. Since, y'know, free will and all.

So, taking this into account, if gay people really do choose to be gay, why can't they also just choose to love God? You can be gay and also believe in a higher power, because free will. And if God truly loves us, despite any flaws we might have since God created us to be imperfect, then as long as you love him with all your heart, God will also love you for who you are.

... You're saying God made you stubborn, of all things, but he didn't have the power to make gay people not gay?

Or like, are you saying gay people aren't actually attracted to other gay people, and they're just pretending to be gay?

Because, I mean, if God has the power to make you extremely stubborn in your beliefs, wouldn't God just make people extremely stubborn about their sexuality? And no gay people would exist?

Can I be Bishop Blue?

Thank you for taking my comm, MHD. It was a great time to watch you draw stuff and I was glad to be there.

Looking forward to halloween.

I don't really enjoy Pinkerton all that much, not really a fan of the sound. But I can understand it.

My favorite on the Blue Album is probably Undone, it used to be Say it Ain't So until I saw a video where someone isolated Matt Sharp's funny backing vocals and can no longer unhear it and take the song as seriously.

I am also a fan of the Green Album but not as much. The Teal Album with the cover songs was also pretty good renditions but I felt adding a cover album to the list instead of the original bands was a bit iffy.

I do enjoy that Weezer releases an album called "Weezer" with a different colored cover every few years.
