Hi all,
Just a quick note to point out two slight time changes to the UK dates- at Southampton and Guildford- to make sure that readers have enough time to get to the events.
For the Irish dates, we're checking when most schools are back in Kilkenny and Newbridge. Both signings were originally scheduled to happen in the middle of the day- but if the schools are back in session by then, we might move those start times to 3 PM. I'll keep you posted.
Oh, and for all those people asking for a Belfast signing, you now have your wish...
The changes have been made to the post below.

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4920 Newer› Newest»@Mushroom: See, I've never actually used a front-fastening one. In which way are they inferior?
I hate front-fastening ones >_<
It's so much easier to just pop the hooks undone on the back, because front-fastening ones don't have hooks a lot of the time. It's all weird and stupid.
(Ah..
usually a feature of a garment's designs for stylistic reasons
intended to give the appearance of wealth in a woman, as wearing such a garment implied the woman could afford servants to help her dres)
(Also for, like, conspicuousness and for changing the tightness and stuff.)
@Tia: I think I understood about half of that, but not any of the useful parts. :P
Do you know how you'd answer it?
@Star: *laughs* Well, it's not mandatory to remember it?
I have a friend who's not allowed to speak English today, though. Like, not even TEXTING. She has to be in Welsh. O_O
@Star again: ...huh.
THat is a good question.
@Mushroom: Well, you see, you could make front-fastening ones with hooks.
@Jai: Yes, but nowadays, women don't have people to help them dress (and it would just be awkard if they did. I wouldn't want someone undressing me . . . that would just be weird and embarrassing. I guess you'd get used to it, thoguh), and as such, all our coats fasten at the front, all our shirts fasten at the front, our t-shirts don't even fasten, and all our hoodies and stuff fasten at the front. Our clothes are designed to be taken off by the person wearing them.
If you were to put hooks on the front, it would become uncomfortable, especially for bustier women.
@Taia: O_O
Poor her. O_O
Also, whilst we're on the topic of clothes, I was watching teh Great British Sweing Bee the other day, and they mentioend how males and females have their buttons etc. on different sides . . . and soemhow, despite living sixteen years on this earth, I hadn't realised this, and I think it is just -
WHY?
Honestly.
In the Stormlight Archive, womena nd men have to eat different food, and they have to dine at different tables, and clearly they wear different clothes (women are usually in dresses, and if they're in trouser-like garments they're called 'leggings' or whatever and are shaped differently beacuse women couldn't wear trousers like a man, ohhhh no), and all sorts.
And I was just like "See, our society doesn't have nearly as many stupid segregations. We're so advanced C:" and now I find out that men and women's clothes have buttons and zips on separate sides? Why is this? What is the point? Why the unnecessary segregation?
-_-
@Luci: ... idk. Go back to using an overflow blog, I guess?
@Luc/Star/Jai: O_O
I didn't even know front-fastening bras were things.
Wow.
@Star: Dresses fasten at the back, though. ^^
@Mushroom: Idk, I think they're fairly uncomfortable on the back . . .
I get you, thoguh.
@Taia: Really?
And - DRESSES FASTEN AT THE BACK???
You're kidding, right? What is this? This is RIDICULOUS. How are you meant to get them on and off??
. . .
With dresses it's actyally not so bad, because if they're meant to be fashionable/whatever then impracticality is occasionally needed and that's cool. It's only when impracticality occurs in everyday items that it's stupid.
Liliana: I do love you, Onwa.
Bethany: I just want to see... You don't know. Can I at least try and pay? I don't want you to buy everything for me... I just want to try, really.
Claire: What is the Therald currency like?
Bethany: I have some gold coins...
Claire: Then they could accept them, maybe.
@Star: Um. Usually with about as much difficulty as the ones that don't fasten at all?
IDK I tend not to wear dresses. :P
If they were uncomfortable on the back, why would they be less uncomfortable on the front?
And also, like, why not fasten at the side? idk. :P
(I only own one dress. It is red, backless and... disgusting, really. It does not have any elaborate fastenings. Or any fastenings that are worth speaking of, really.)
@Taia: I don't, either . . . I seem to remember doing up backfastening dressed when I was very small, though. I remember I had to stretch up to the buttoms/pull up the zip as far as I could at the bottom, and then reach round the top and stretch as far as I could to reach the buttons/zip from that end . . .
I think I managed it, though it was tricky. :P
@Taia: O_O
Ohmygosh.
Yes.
Why not side-fastening ones . . . ?
I think side-fastening dresses are a rgeat idea, personally. Isn't that the way dresses fasten . . . ? Idk, I don't wear dresses.
In the Stormlight Archive though, their clothes fasten at the side, and I'm just like "How can having your coat fasten at the side possibly be practical . . . ?" because if you undid it you'd just have a big flap of cloth in front of you idk. :P
@Taia: And, beacuse you lean back on your back, and thus on the metal hooks. Whereas you don't tend to lean on the front, and if you did then he metal hooks wouldn't dig into you anyway because your breats are there adn so you lean on your breats more and as such the front of your bra doesn't actually dig into your skin . . . ? Like, there's gaps of space for the hooks to be in. Idk. My words aren't working well. :P
[Pops up]
[Waves to Lucyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]
[Dives back under the covers and hides]
Hi Lantern. :) :)
(The hooks on the back do not have any big effect - as they are covered, essentially, by the layer of other hooks. If there was a similar system to be used at the front, it would surely have no effect?)
@Sophia: . . . ?
For me, my hooks at the back, and the loops they hook into, are covered by a piece of fabric. However, sometimes they press through the fabric into my back. Not often enough for me to notice often, but I noticed today.
(That is what I meant, Star. They could simply make the material for the front a little thicker and have it fastening at the front? It would be, by far, more convenient. I am currently attempting to think of a reason why they would be at the back in the first place.)
I think they're much more comfortable on the back. If they're uncomfortable there, it means they don't fit well.
And regarding dresses: most of mine with zips/buttons have them on the side. Only one, I think, has a zip on the back...! (I also can't zip it up alone...)
My reasoning for them not being on the front is the lack of space. Like, if you're busty there's absolutely no space down there at all, and the slightest thing down there can become uncomfortable and can irritate your chest. Less likely to damage boobs if the hooks are on the back, I guess?
@Sophia: *nods*
They'd be at the back for the reason Silente said - because it was more fashionable for women to have impractial clothing as it meant they were wealthy enough to have a maid. I just don't see why we haven't evolved to a more practial solution. :P
@Mushroom: Or the fabric's worn out a bit. :P
Yeah . . . side zips, for dresses, are very practial and look fine too. :)
@Mushroom: I guess that makes sense. :) I guess backs are less sensitive . . .
@Star: *nods* I don't know, it probably varies from dress to dress? Like with shoes, where some have zips on the back, or side, or laces on the front? Or tiny fasteners like with sandals and things. I think dresses are like shoes. :P
*laughs* OK, so maybe not side-fastening clothes. :P
And- *nods* I guess so.
*hugs FAbi*
Because women are, in society's eyes, still objects.
And if the fabric has worn away, throw it out and buy a new bra!
Side zips are my favourite things.
(I suppose that makes some sense, actually.
I have never been the dress kind of girl. I do not have a vast amount of experience in them. When I was younger, jeans were more my style. And now it is armour.)
@Mushroom: Yeahhhhhh . . . :P
Okay, you've beaten me. :P
@Taia: :) Yes. Dresses are a bit like shoes. :)
I'm just blinking at the 'u' in armour . . .
I've read enough American books that English spellings now look weird to me . . . :P
But I still automatically type with English spellings. They just look weird after I type them.
Tutus fasten at the back. You really can't do them by yourself, but it's not a big deal really because there are plenty of other dancers with the same problem so you can make a sort of conga like thingy and also there are the moms who help out backstage.
It really wouldn't work so well if tutus were front-fastening.
(Star - Yes. The Americans spell it oddly, whereas Canadians spell it the same as the English do.)
@Lantern: :P That's so cool. :)
The way you all help each other out, I mean. :)
And, yeah.
(Sorry. Was eating.)
Onwa: I really do love you too Liliana. My queen
*kisses her neck gently*
*smirks*
My conquest.
Okay.. you can try.
*conga line thingy
Liliana: What do you mean?
Bethany: *she nods* I'll go and ask. *she walks to the counter*
@Sophia: Really?
That's cool.
Brandon Sanderson's American . . . so he uses American spellings.
(The Artemis Fowl books use American spellings, too. Do they use American spellings in Ireland? Because that always confused me.)
Which is kind of cool
beacuse like
honor, which is quite a frequently-used word in the books, is spelt 'honor.'
And as such, it's more symmetrical than the British spelling of 'honour' (ohmygosh that looks so weird now).
And in Vorinism, symmetry is holy. So the more symmetrical spelling makes more sense.
So it's cool.
But they actually wouldn't use the word 'honor/honour' anyway because they don't speak English . . .
So maybe it's not cool, but it is cool, and idk it's confusing. :(
(I will be back soon.)
'Honour' looks so wrong to me now . . . help. :P
Onwa: You are mine, and mine alone. No one else could win you over..you are my conquest, and I yours.
*watches her*
You think they'll take the coins?
(xD Staaaaaaar read English books! XD)
[hugs Noelle]
We'd all miss you if you died...
(*didn't manage to read the comment*
*hugs Noelle anyway*)
*also didn't read the comment . . .*
*hugs Noelle*
@Jai: But Brandon Sanderson.
*frowns*
:P
We don't spell it wrong, you guys do! :P it's just a random extra letter! You don't need it! :P I have two dresses but one is an Irish dance dress. I actually kind then both, my normal dress fits me line it was maze fit me! :D
They both fasten in the back with zippers and I'm amazing and can do it myself. My old shirt for Irish dance buttoned in the back. That was annoying.
Sorry for poofing. Mum took my phone to call. She still has it but I'm on the computer now, so yeah... hi! XD
la la la
Noelle, of course we'll notice. please, don't do it.
*hugs gently, reassuringly*
Sorry for vanishing. WAs drawing.
*hugs Noelle tightly*
Hi, Dugglyn!
:P
(I have no dresses that I'll wear.
I have, like, ten maybe?
Most are my sister's..
But mum keeps buying red dresses for me whenever she decides I'm having a dress so I end up looking splotchy and yucky.
Not to mention I look stupid in dresses.)
(Hi Kas.
*keeps hugging noelle*)
Hi, Jai.
Noelle? :/
*hugs*
Hi Taia!!!!!!!! :D
Noelle? :((
*hugs*
(I am back.
It is spelt honour in Canada, also. Our spellings are effectively identical to the English. It is only the Americans who spell it differently, for whatever reason.)
Liliana: That makes sense, actually.
Bethany: Hopefully? *she reaches the till* Uh... Hello. I don't have any of your money on me at the moment, but I have some gold coins... Would that be alright to pay with?
(Gonna have to start saving up again.
Somehow.
Right!
Gonna start walking home and not spending my money on bus fare!
Gonna keep getting freedom Freebee top ups!
Gonna stop buying chocolate that I won't eat!
Gonna start putting money somewhere I won't touch it!
*nods*)
@Sil teach me how to save please teach me how to save!
Onwa: *smiles*
Indeed it does. Doesn't everything I say?
*watches*
(@Kas how to save up;
Walk! Don't eat cr*p! Hide money in a place where you can't be ar*ed reaching for it unless you need it! XD)
. . .
I'm good at saving money . . . ?
I just don't buy anything unless I need to. :P Unless it's music or books. Those I'm just like . . . BUYBUYBUY. :P
I also haven't seen Noelle's comments . . . I'm too distant to catch them. :(
(@Star I tend to put my money in my coat pocket when I get it. Then I forget about it so it builds up. Then I put my hand in my pocket and its like OMG MONEY!!!)
BUT I KEEP BUYING FOOD AND I DON'T WANT TO CUT DOWN TO 1 MEAL A DAY :CCCCC
@Jai: XD That's sweet. :) :) :)
I put my money in my going-to-town bag . . . :P WHich has, like, money and gift cards and my debit card in. But I also have a money box. I'm trying to fill my money box, but it never works meh. :P
@Kas: Don't cut down to one meal a day. Bad idea. Seriously.
(I want a debit card cause I know that way I'll spend less cause I won't know its there..)
Me too, Star. :/ :/
... I don't buy things, either.
I just, idk. I don't look at things and go 'buy'.
I look at things and go 'I'll think about it for three weeks and then forget about it'.
It's a good saving tactic. :P
Liliana: Most things, I believe.
Shop assistant: I... Gold coins? Really? *he frowns for a moment* I doubt we are supposed to take them, but given their value...
I'm good as saving money. I only tacky buy books (though I hadn't buy those! Go library!! :D) and music which is like $1.30 post sing and I h have shot $100 in Amazon gift cards XD I don't even know where that came from! It's like whoa! I have Amazon gifts cards! Surprise!
I like having a debit card. :) You just put it in the machine and money comes out and it's just like OHMYGOSH I HAVE MONEY!!!
@Taia: Most thigns, I look at and I go "Can I live without that?" :P
But books, I'm just like BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS. :P
Onwa: *smirks*
Exactly.
*watches the lava lamp absently*
STAR XD XD
hmm it just occurred to me that I can't feel my point finger.
@Dugglyn: ???
@Dugglyn: :P
I have WHSmith's gift cards.
But every time I go to buy books I panic because there are so many and then I don't know what to do so I panic and don't buy anything. :P
(And yet somehow I keep acquiring books??)
@Star: XD
I don't spend money enough to ever USE my card, though. :P
Which part Star? I was laughing at the
I like having a debit card. :) You just put it in the machine and money comes out and it's just like OHMYGOSH I HAVE MONEY!!!
And I can't feel my finger because it fell asheep.
@Taia: Ah, I know that problem . . . :P
I use my card to get money out of the machine and that's it. I'm too scared to use it in a shop. O_O And then I spend said money on books and bus fares. XD
I also just last night worked out how to connect my debiat card to Google Play. Yay?
@Dugglyn: I was asking about your inability to feel your point finger. Glad it's okay coz it went to sleep, though. :)
And I'm glad I amused you. :P
(@Star oh God xD not Yey. You'll spend all your money now xD)
@Jai I have a card. barclays is a good bank. But I still can't save it because I just buy food with the card -_-
@Jai: XD *laughs*
No
right
but see
right
I wanted to buy like four albums
right
because Google Play were giving me a deal
right
and like
I can't resist their deals
but
I didn't want to use up all my phone credit
so I connected by debit card up
and then
like
I had TONS of money
so I was like "Yay, I can buy them all now!"
but then
for some reason
my saving instincts kicked in and I didn't want to buy anything
so I just went "Huh, that's weird," didn't buy anythign and fell asleep. :P
(If I had three wishes..
I'd ask for money to appear when and where me and my immediate familg need it.
I don't know what my other two wishes would be..)
Ah, okay. Yeah, it's better now! I was leaning on my arm and then my hand was all tingly!! :D
@Silente More wishes!
@Jai: If I were you, I would save your other two wishes. :)
@Dugglyn: :)
Liliana: We should probably check on Lorelei? She may be worried.
Bethany: So... You'll accept them?
Shop assistant: *he sighs* Fine. This once. And only this once. But make sure you get some money from the bank next time, alright?
Bethany: I don't have a bank.
(xD you can't wish for more wishes!
Wish two: I wish for a real magic gene lamp.)
You can't?! Why not?!
Onwa: Of course..
*watches Beth again*
(Cause that's the rules!
So now I'd have 4 wishes left.
I'd wish for Sophia to have her own body.
I'd wish to meet all the bloggers I know.)
@Sil: One wish could be that the others come true. That way you only have one more to decide on. :P
OH. darn. Gotta go.
Bye, all!
(I do not know what I would wish for if I had the choice. The most logical thing to ask for would be to have my parents alive, but it would most likely be somewhat traumatic for them - and me. So I do not know whether I actually want them to be alive or not.)
@Jai: :)
(Having my own body is something that I would definitely wish for.)
Liliana: *she sits up* Or perhaps we could just have a little longer in bed.
Bethany: Yes. Okay. Right. Could I have one of the large volcano lamps?
Shop assistant: Lava lamps?
Bethany: *she nods* One of them, please.
Shop assistant: That would be... eighty nine ninety nine. Wait, gold coins, right? Call it five gold coins.
Onwa: *grins*
I would very much prefer that.
*chews her lip, smiling slightly*
(Okay. So 2 wishes left.
I'd wish for a cure to depression.
And I'd wish for blogland island to live and prosper and be mine.)
Liliana: Then we can stay here for a little longer. *she holds Onwa close*
Bethany: *she reaches inside a pocket on her dress, taking out a bag of coins* *she hands him five*
Shop assistant: We also need to schedule the delivery. What is your name?
Bethany: Bethany.
Shop assistant: Full name?
Bethany: Uh... Bethany Tempest?
Shop assistant: *he writes it down* Right, could you please note down your address in the boxes provided?
Bethany: *she turns to Silente, looking questioningly*
Sorry for the distance, I'm applying for jobs. If I work I'll have more money, right?
Onwa: *kisses her gently, smiling*
*walks over*
*fills in the form for Beth*
@Kas: Yes.
Liliana: *she kisses her back, grinning, placing her hand on Onwa's thigh*
Bethany: Thank you... *she smiles, looking at the lava lamp again* It makes me happy. *her hair starts to shine*
Shop assistant: *he thanks Silente for the form, before cursing and looking at Bethany's hair* What's that?
Onwa: *smirks, pressing against her, kissing her passionately*
It's a um magicians trick.. she likes showing off sometimes.
*shrugs*
I finally finished my philosophy essay!:3
Liliana: *she kisses her passionately back, using her tongue*
Shop assistant: I have literally never seen anything like that before... That can't be a trick. Her hair is shining. She can't have set up a trick so fast...
(Yey luci!!!)
Onwa: *uses tongue also*
*laughs*
Yeah. Realistic isn't it? She's spent years perfecting it.
*shakes head*
-Zaf
*tackles Zafira, biting her nose*
Liliana: *she pulls her closer, deepening the kiss*
Claire: *she nudges Bethany* Your hair...
Bethany: Oh... *she makes an attempt to cover her hair up*
Shop assistant: Wow... Okay. The lava lamp will be delivered in the next three to five days.
Onwa: *smirks, matching her in depth*
Okay. Thanks.
*walks back to Beth*
(Hey Zaf.)
(I will be back soon.)
Hello everyone I'm back!
Went out unexpectedly with Keiron to see the Kingsman. For the third time. And it was still as amazing as the first time I watched it.
Jai, you still on Fairy Tail? Go on the Orga server... Go home and choose Orga, you can play the first one too but Keiron, Kassy and I are on Orga.
(I have literally no idea what I'm even doing on it..)
(Orga isn't one of the servers..)
(Nm yes it is.)
(right. There. I think.It's making me start ALL OVER AGAIN!!!)
Why was I bit?-Zaf
What level did you get to? You can get to lvl 30 in less than a day.
I'll come meet you. Go on Skype, i'll call you.
(Confused..)
Bye
Nuuh, Noelle, don't go! *hugs her reassuringly*
You're too awesome to die. *keeps hugging warmly and reassuringly*
@Noelle @Set Me Free
*hugs gently*
I'm sorry. Just... stay alive. Stay...
...
You can always talk to me, email me, okay, Noelle? I know you probably don't want to, but if you do, or if you need to, I'm here for you.
*isn't even sure what to say anymore*
-Zaf
(I am back.)
Liliana: I really do love you.
Bethany: I'm sorry about my hair...
(Sorry. Mum was trying to make me watch 50 Shades of Nope Not Happening.)
Onwa: I really do love you too Liliana.
It's fine.
(You are too young to go and see it, surely?)
Liliana: You are perfect. *she strokes Onwa's cheek gently, kissing her nose*
Bethany: I'll try and be less happy...
(She's watching it online now. At home there is no age limit.)
Onwa: *smiles, eyes soft*
Hardly..
Aha. Don't you dare make yourself upset..
I'm actually old enough to. 17+ is the age range to go see R rated movies without an adult.
-Zaf
(In England it's an 18)
(And this is exactly my problem with it - the moment it comes out on DVD, you will not be able to prevent younger people watching it. I am glad that you refused, Jaimie. She should not be asking you to watch it.)
Liliana: You are. I promise.
Bethany: No, no, no. Not that. But a little less happy?
*hugs Noelle*
@ZafandSil: Yup . . .
U (universal), PG (parental guidance), 12 (although at cinemas if you're under twelve you can generally go if accompanied by an adult), 15, 18.
:)
Yeah . . . C and B watch 18s (they're funny when they go into a film shop on their own because they just go straight to the dark horror section and are looking mournfully at all these DVDs they can't buy beacuse of their age :P), and I'm pretty sure C's little sister saw Shaun of the Dead when she was two.
(*nods* I refused because I like what little innocence I have..)
Onwa: *kisses her forehead*
In which case I promise that all the lies your mother told you about yourself, every time she put you down, she was wrong..
Okay..
@Jai: You should have refused. It's a bad parental decision on her part, imo . . .
(My iPod has officially died, which makes coming on here a whole heap harder. I now longer have the world in my pocket...
Aye, so, I have half an hour here... Who wants to have some fun??)
I know it's half eight, but I'm tired so I think I might just go to bed now . . . or maybe sit in bed reading Stormlight Archive or listening to music for a bit . . . meh.
Then I can wake up and memorise more quotes . . . yay?
Anyway . . . yeah. Msd . . .
Hi, Danni. :)
G and PG you can pretty much have anyone go, PG-13 says it in the name then R is 17+ and I always hear of X or something but I never saw one rated that so...I mean I saw Sweeney Todd which is R when I was 11. My parents knew it was R but hey...I've seen a few R rated but I mean my parents were okay with them because there wasn't sex. They only were R due to the graphic bloody violence aka repoing organs or slitting people's throats and baking them into meat pies.
-Zaf
Hey Star!
Sweeney Todd here is MA15+... I've never seen an R. Even 50Shades is MA15+...
(There should be more things put in place to protect children from films which have higher ratings.
If-
Well, it is pointless saying so, but if I had a child, I would not let them see films which were a twelve, fifteen or eighteen until they were that age. Because the ratings are there for a reason. They are their for the protection of children and they should be obeyed. They are not rated for the sake of it. They are rated as an estimation for when a person is mature enough to deal with the content of the film. I disagree with any films rated above fifteen anyway, simply because there is no need to have anything more, but I would definitely keep to the ratings. Because they make sense - and as I said, they are there for a reason.)
Liliana: I... See.
Bethany: I don't think I can... What makes me upset?
Claire: Ooh! Can we go into Game so I can buy a game for my PlayStation?
Onwa: You're brilliant. *kisses her neck* Brave. *kisses the other side* Sexy *smiles, kissing higher up on the opposite side* loyal *another kiss, again higher, again the opposite side* *lowers her voice slightly* smart *kisses under her jaw* elegant *kisses her chin* daring *kisses the edge of her lips* beautiful *kisses the other corner of her lips* and mine. *smiles*
Uh..me dying.
*nods*
And sure Claire.
(I guess I'll be going, then...
Tata!)
(Goodbye, Rose.)
Liliana: And now I want to kiss you. *she pauses for a moment* You think I am elegant?
Bethany: I don't want you to die... *her hair starts to fade*
Claire: Yay! Oh, they might have a PlayStation that Bethany can go on.
@SetMeFree: I'm sorry . . .
It isn't your fault for being bullied. It's their fault for bullying you. So try not to feel bad about it . . .
This is impossible, yes. But it's the only world we have, and there is beauty in it. And you will see ot again one day. :)
@Sophia: I think it depends on the maturity of the child. If I thought my child could handle a particular film, I would let them watch it. If I thought that couldn't, I wouldn't. Age is a poor indicator of maturity. I remember my year none English teacher (I miss her) telling us that when she was little, her parents would let her watch films although she was below the rating, but they'd send her big sister, who was old enough to watch it, up to bed instead, because they knew my English teacher would be fine and they knew her sister wouldn't.
I honestly do not get why sex is such a tabboo subject. I seriously don't comprehend it. Violence and scare-inducing stuff, though - that can be emotionally scarring.
*year nine
Onwa: No. I know you're elegant.
*smiles, lips mere centimetres away from hers*
*squeezes Beth's hand gently*
I know..
*smiles at Claire*
Yeah.
We started peeling my wallpaper off today, but the wall was kinda mouldy (shower and bath are on the other side) and now my room smells of mould ugh.
(@Star Ew..)
If my hypothetical kids were anything like me, though, I'd probably make them stick to the ratings - at least till they were fifteen. :P
@Jai: Yeah. :P
I dod WONDER why there was a dark stain on my wall and why my room always smelt of mould . . . XD
(though the former is where my hands brush the wall as I enter the room, so we assumed it was ftom that, anf it probably is.)
(I..vaguely stuck to ratings? If it was to do with intimacy then I'm sticking to them but I saw a lot of 15 when I was younger. Mainly cause my sister made me watch them with her. I always laughed at her.)
I watch The Walking Dead . . . but I've always stuck to them, mostly because I don't watch film or TV unless someone makes me, and as I have two younger siblings I've always been watching films for younger people . . . whereas my brother, being ten, has watched numerous twelves because his siblings are older - only Harry Potter and Star Wars and Merlin and such, though.
And I mean, I know Merlin gave my mum nightmares, but it's hardly mentally scarring. :P
(Exactly.
I can't remember what age rating Sweeny was..
I remember watching Shaun of the dead..
That gave me nightmares..
It was then that I learnt that I'm petrified of zombies.
Or it could be that that made me scared of zombies..)
I'm ghosting. Watching Fairy Tail.
(Star - People do increase in maturity as they get older. And it makes sense from a legal point of view. Eighteen is the age where you legally can have sex without parental consent - that would be sixteen. So you will be allowed to view films which contain more-than-implied-sex at eighteen.
I believe sex is a subject that children should not be subjected to unless taught about in high school. Films will hardly give an accurate portrayal of the matter. And imagine if you did show a child a film, and they started to effectively re-enact what they saw to their friends. What would the teachers think? And would other parents really want your child to be having a bad influence on theirs?
I think the innocence of children is something which needs to be preserved.)
Liliana: *she kisses her passionately, pulling her close*
Bethany: *she squeezes her hand back*
Claire: Let's go, then. *she starts to walk out of the shop*
I remember when I was eleven people would ask me, "Are you allowed to watch twelves?" and I'd be like, "Uh . . . I don't know," and they'd be like, "How do you not KNOW?" and I'd be like, "Um . . . I've never needed to ask?"
XD
(Hey Gem :)
Onwa: *kisses her passionately back, smiling, rolling so she's underneath, wrapping her arms round Liliana's waist*
*follows Claire*
*whispers to Beth*
Don't worry. I don't plan to die anytime soon..not if I can help it. Not unless its to save one of you two.
(*glares at the random sh*t on my bed*)
@Jai: Exactly.
If you watch these tjings too young, it gives you nightmares and lfelong fears.
I know a girl who's scared of Finding Nemo, because she developed the fear when she was young and ot stuck, whereas she can watch scarier things now and be fine . . . it's not fair to damage people like this.
@Sophia: Fair enough.
However, I think it would be better if we discussed sex like adults instead of tiptoing around the subject . . .
Plus people on AVEN have told me about sex ed in some American Christian schools and it's basically like "DO NOT HAVE SEX. EVER. IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE IMPURE AND NO ONE WILL LOVE YOU," (obviously, I'm exaggerating. I imagine they say DON'T HAVE SEX like our school says COME TO OUR SIXTH FORM, except a bit less frequently than COME TO PUR SIXTH FORM) so they learn pretty much nothing about how to have safe sex and so on . . . which is obviously like, woah, really bad.
But I think I'm getting off topic.
Hi, Gemma. :)
(I hate it when my brother pretends to be a zombie cause like..
I know he's not one.
But that means I can't just kill him.
So I panic and back up and fall over and he keeps coming and I panic more cause he's my brother I can't punch him I know this and I get overwhelmed and terrified and I freeze up and I just..
*shudders*)
Hi.
@Sophia then you should really have a go at Dragona for playing Mass Effect, the entire trilogy is 18+ in UK.
OHMYGOSH SAME!!!!!!!
I HATE IT SO MUCH WHEN MY BROTHER PRWTENDS TO BE A ZOMBIE COZ HE'S SO GOOD AT IT (my sister is too elegant and her movements are too flowy :P), AND I HAVE TO SHOVE HIM AWAY AND RUN HALFWAY ACROSS THE HOUSE, WHICH HE FINDS HILARIOUS SO HE KEEPS DOING IT, BUT I CAN'T HELP REACTING BECAUSE HE SCARES ME SO MUCH.
ALSO, WHRN HE JUMPS OUT AT ME AND YELLS BOO.
WHEN I SEE HIM BEFORE HE DOES IT, I'M FINE, BUT IF I DON'T, I JUMP OUT OF MY BLOODY /SKIN/ AND SHRIEK AND GE FINDS IT SO FUNNY BUT IT MAKES ME FEEL SO HORRIBLE AND JUMPED-UP INSIDE . . .
AND THE BELL AT SCHOOL. IN THE CORRIDOR I STAND BEFORE FORM, THE BELL IS /SO LOUD/ AND THE CORRIDOR IS EMPTY SO I JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN (IT MUST BE HILARIOUS IF YOU'RE WATCHING ME THROUGH THE DOOR WINDOW, I PROPER JERK), AND IT HURTS MY EARS SO MUCH OW AND IT'S HORRIBLE AND IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY UGH.
MAYBE I SHOULD FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO STAND TOMORROW.
Ien't Dragona eighteen . . . ? Idk, I'm not good with ages; can barely remember my own. :P
@Star relevant film clip incoming
(And that is when it goes too far the other way. That is also something I disagree with. I believe it should be talked about with children - as you said, in an adult manner. Without any fictional intervention.)
Liliana: *she presses as close against her as possible, continuing the kiss*
Bethany: No... Please don't die for me... Ever. *her hair fades back to its normal colour*
Claire: *she turns into the video game shop, immediately moving to the PlayStation section*
(I hate it SO MUCH. Because I can't just PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE so I panic and push him and calmly tell him to stop and he laughs and keeps doing it so I panic more and run and he keeps coming and oh gosh breathe..)
Yes.
Welcome to my world.
I'm scared of cutlery and I shriek when people jump out of me and yell 'boo.'
This is why I don't belong in Dauntless. :P

(Yes, Dragona is eighteen. He was playing the game beforehand, however. You can rest assured that I have shouted at him many times.)
Onwa: *smiles, using a little tongue, holding her tighter*
I can't let you die Beth. It'd be an honour to die for you..
I just . . . I shove my brother away. One the top of the head or the shoulder, though, so he can't bite me, and then I run, and yell at my parents to tell him off.
:P
I rather rely on my parents to defend me from my siblings. I'm so nice and non-aggravating they usually stick up for me and tell my siblings off.
(My parents just tell me to stop being a baby -_-)
Dauntless woohoo!
@Sophia ratings are stupid anyway. And censorship is even more stupid. Or is it equally stupid? Idk.
(I usually end up curled up hyperventilating and close to tears. Then he usually backs off.)
(@Jai then be an adult. Because adults leave the house without letting you know when they're back and going wherever and not taking their phones.
Duh.)
@Jai push harder :/
(xD good point kas.)
(I can't push harder cause then he'll hurt himself!!! And he just GETS UP DAMMIT!!! Seriously. I swear to God I try so hard..)
(Ratings are not stupid. Those who ignore them are stupid. They are there for the protection of children - because there are some things that people should not see until a certain age.)
Liliana: *she uses her tongue, also*
Bethany: *she shakes her head*
Claire: Okay. Right. You can go on the PlayStation in the corner, Bethany.
Bethany: But I don't know how...
Onwa: *pinches her butt gently*
Claire can show you the basics?
@Sophia but that's very subjective. 18+ ratings are just ridiculous. And then you get a 15+ film and you're like "huh? Why isn't this 18+?" and it's inconsistent and ratings feel broken and always let me down. *nods*
(*shakes head* so yeah. Um. Now we've learnt that I'm petrified of zombies who I cant hit let's move on?
I mean.. I'd probably be okayish in a zombie apocalypse cause you can hit them then.)
Push, Jai. Push until getting in your face is not a viable option.
(I'm not pushing my brother down the stairs. And I'm not knocking him out against the wall.)
(I've only ever nearly knocked my brother out once. He then went ballistic and beat me up..)
@Jai If he doesn't respect your personal space, push him away.
(I try Kas..he's stronger *shrugs*
..I feel I should point out I DO NOT LIVE IN AN ABUSIVE HOUSEHOLD.)
I'm sorry. *hugs gently and curses himself for saying anything*
And yes, push him down the stairs.
Push, Jai, dammit, push push push!
(I'm not pushing my brother down the stairs xD)
(This is starting to sound like I'm having a Friggin baby! "Push!" No!)
Liliana: Hmm... I do like where this is going.
Claire: Right. *she quickly checks the PlayStation* Alright, this is a racing game. That's good. *she moves Bethany's hands on to the controller* So you hold it like this...
11
Noelle?
