I'm working hard. Writing fast. Deadline's looming. But while I work, other people have been working too, such as the awesome folks responsible for the covers...
And so, without further ado...

(Oh.. Okay)
It could be said that colonialization destroyed the Ibo culture. When Okonkwo was talking to Obierika, Obierika says ‘Our own men and our sons have joined the ranks of the stranger’. This echoes the leader of Okonkwo’s motherland who feared for the clan. When Christians travelled to Africa, they converted many Ibo tribesmen to Christianity. This meant centuries of tradition and culture were abandoned which caused uproar with people who refused to convert. A once close knit clan was now destroyed. However, on the other hand, it can be said that there was already an underlying tension within the clan and people were questioning the traditions of their culture. When Nwoye realises that Ikemefuna had been killed, he reminisces about the last harvest season when people had heard the cry of infants in the Evil Forest. It was a tradition to throw away twins in the forest during infancy. ‘A sudden hush had fallen on the women…and they had quickened their steps’. The fact that they ‘quickened their steps’ to get away suggests that they feel guilty about the tradition, but they try to forget about it by leaving instead of intervening. At the end of part one, a funeral is held for Ogbuefi Ezeudu and Okonkwo’s gun goes off, accidentally killing the dead man’s son. This incident leads to Okonkwo’s banishment. Obierika sits in his obi and wonders why ‘should a man suffer so grievously for an offence he had committed inadvertently?’. Unlike Okonkwo, Obrieka is a man of thoughts and ponders the traditions of his culture. He wonders why people should suffer for things that weren’t their fault. It could be said that colonialization was a good thing because it prevented injustices like this occurring.

(which one is better? all the same stuff but in a different order)
I don't know, I prefer the first one. Then again, the second one will have naturally felt like interesting because I'd already read all the information.
^less interesting
Sorry, can't type XD
(okay, thanks ^.^)
AU!Sil: *walks around with a can of spray paint*
*hums quietly to herself*
((When I read the words 'spray paint' I instantly picture orange pentagrams . . .)
(..why?
*doesn't even know what to do with AU!Sil*
*is really bored*)
(Supernatural. They often use orange spray paint to make demon traps.
:( :()
(they are red... )
(*swears uncontrollably about essay writing and the amount of work I need to do for the psychology extended project*)
(Kinda sucks when family members are being passive-aggressive. Makes me feel like shit.
Hello.)
(*hugs kas*
(*hugs kas*
*hugs Chloe*)
(And now they're just aggressive. Awesome. Kill me, please.)
:( :( :( *hugs Kas*
@Keiron: I swear it's orange. O_o Like, reddy orange.
Maybe one of us is just colourblind. :P
Huh. Cat says it's red.
Apparently it's just me. Huh.
(HA! AHAHAHA ITS FINALLY DONE
IT THOUGHT IT COULD GET ME DOWN
THINK AGAIN MOTHER TRUCKERS!)
(Well done, Chloe.)
(Thanks 🙈)
(..*pats chloes head*
*hugs kas*)
(*nods at Jaimie*)
(*hugs everyone*)
( I have two very bright orange things and two of my walls are red along with my laptop and ipod and chair... I think I can distinguish )
(ehehe :P *hugs chloe back *)
("the only supernatural thing in that show is how they manage to draw a perfect circle every demon trap" : )
(I'm a celeb tonight!!!)
(I'm almost scared to ask, but what are the two orange things?)
(Hello Bru!
*is so not drinking wine*)
(hey!)
(How art thou?)
@Chloe: :)! Well done!
(Thanks Seren *huggles*)
(a little melancholic, to be honest. There's a forest at the bottom of my garden. a wee burn, lots of trees. its like something out of a fairy tail. the storm that's hitting us tore up one of the oldest trees, a big beautiful beech, and threw it down like a dead twig. Its been there since before I was born. I used to climb on it and talk to it.
I spent half an hour out in the wind trying to right it, I even cut off the bigger branches to try and make it lighter. but its still too heavy. Its weighing other trees down, so I'm going to have to cut it up. I don't even like looking out the window at it because I just feel sad.)
(hurricane Abigail sucks.)
(ah, well. it was nice while it lasted. I managed to take a cutting and graft it, so the tree'll live on. I'm going to plant the sapling on the same spot as before. A fresh start.)
(nawwww *huggles* I am sorry to hear that :()
( why were you scared... my phone and my headphones )
@hak (I dunno. Its you...?)
( lol ((joke happens) were you scared you were one of the orange things :P )
( also sad to hear about the tree... Bawbag was worse as my fence is still in one piece )
(not until now!)
(yeah, its not much fun.
In September, just as the leaves turned, when the sun hit it, it looked like it was on fire. Really pretty...
But the tree's not dead. its still there, in that cutting. The rest of it'll decay, and whatever life is left in it will go back into the forest. It'll feed flowers and grasses. New life, born out of a dead giant. The sapling will take nourishment from that too. So its not so sad, I suppose.)
(the weather isn't so bad here
but then again I haven't left the house in two days)
(*sits in the corner*)
(you ok Gaj? )
(I am fine *crosses arms*)
(Struan i'm sorry about your tree.
Btw do you prefer Struan or Bruadar?
And are the plans for 2020 still going? for the housing thing you told us about?)
(And i missed Matex-sama ;-;
-sits in the corner and cries-
I miss him...)
(-hugs Gemmy in the corner-)
(Thanks. Trees are nice.
Either or is fine, I really don't mind. Whichever comes first.
Looks like it. I managed to make contact with some people in the housing department and I'm working to get them on side. I've got some time, but not much else.
Still, we fight on regardless. If nothing else I'm going to cripple them with red tape.
(*goes searching for a cat*)
(Can we kill them? oh please please can we kill them?
Hey ser -hugs tightly-)
(if i run out of ideas, then that's definitely plan B.)
(Struan you know i'll fully support you. If you're going to go to their offices or whatever, tell me and i'll join you.
If you want to tie yourself to a tree so they don't start wrecking stuff, i will also be tied to a tree.)
(*hugs gemmy*)
(@Saoirse sure, you resume.)
(*cries* how come I'm the only one without a talking cat?)
Felix: *Comes back with sam* Kiana?
Kiana: *nods*
*looks at Felix*
*-Stay!-*
*looks at Flo expectantly*
Felix: okay
((yes?))
Kiana: *whimpers slightly, closing her eyes*
(-hugs Jai-)
Gajeel, you have Lily now.
(( *huggles* don't worry XD
I am being gajeel from fairy tail ))
(*cuddles gemmy*)
(I lost him... )
Felix: kiana?
(Hear hear)
(HEAR hear.)
Kiana: *nods, smiling thankfully*
*points at velvet*
*-Come in.-*
Felix: *follows*
Sam: *is freaking out*
Kiana: *smiles at Felix, undoing the bandages on her now healed leg*
Felix: you got hurt and I couldn't help... *looks sad*
Kiana: *looks at Flo, pushing her towards velvet*
*pads over to Felix, rubbing against his legs*
*-Fine.-*
Kiana: *pushes Flo towards Velvet again, whimpering*
*pleads with her eyes, ears slightly back and slightly drooped*
Felix: *bends down and hugs kiana tightly* thank goodness... And thanks velvet for coming back
Kiana: *hugs him back, leaning against him*
(You lost lily? O.o?
-cuddles sid-)
(*cries* yes!)
Felix: *doesn't let go*
Kiana: *growls loudly at Flo, hissing*
@gemma (sorry, I was actually just writing an email and report to one of the people in the council. thanks for the support, by the way, it means a lot. If you want to know more, just look up planning policy 6 in Renfrewshire council. or the SPGPA website and Facebook. there's about 600+ of us now, according to the petition, and we're all determined to fight these crooked buggers into the ground.)
(still, happy thoughts. ^.^ )
Felix: what is happening?
Kiana: *nods at Flo in thanks*
*squirms out of the hug, padding over to the bed, jumping up carefully onto the edge*
*lays beside Velvet, curled up*
*rests her head on Velvets uninjured shoulder, trying to show her it's okay*
(Hear hear.
Hi.)
Kiana: *smiles back*
*purrs quietly*
(Don't really have anything to say, so I'll ghost for a bit, okay?)
Kiana: *hugs her back, relaxing, reassuring her as best she can*
Felix: *watches*
Kiana: *smiles*
*-I do good?-*
*stays in the hug, glancing at Felix*
Felix: *smiles* you are amazing Kiana *nods at flo*
Kiana: *blinks at the fact Velvet is asleep*
*stays where she is, acting as a hot water bottle*
*glances at Flo*
*looks a bit like a cat or a dog, curled up as she is*
(*pen, ysgwyddau, pengliniau a bysedd traed*)
Kiana: *tilts her head*
Felix: sure thing *follows*
Felix: she left... I was sad... I met kiana and now we are together
(I'll sign up right now, Struan.)
Felix: that's the thing... she left withut a word. I think she went ti her parents...
(thank you. its really good of you. but don't get too fired up. this is going to be going at a snails pace, for now. things might pick up, and if they do I'll be sure and tell you. for now though, things are simmering. moving, but slowly. fortunately, we have 5 years. thanks again.)
Felix:i didn't think she would come back...
(If i could find them...which i can't >.>)
Kiana: *is cuddled up to velvet, watching her for signs of Kali taking over*
*also now has time to think, alone, about if what she's doing it right*
(don't worry. I'll keep you informed. For now, the thought is more than enough support. ^>^)
Felix: its okay... shall we go back to them?

Oh, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin' mama
Lay that pistol down
We're three tough gals

But there ain't no nicer terror

And now I'm on the run
Oh, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin' mama
Lay that pistol down
Oh, pistol packin' mama
Lay that pistol down.
Kiana: *wonders if its right, her and Felix*
*their species are quite different after all*
*and he loved velvet first*
*she loves him, of course..*
*but velvet.. pretty much has gone insane at his loss*
*something she probably wouldn't do*
*maybe they're wrong together*
(I am off to bed now
nos da!)
Kiana: *glances at velvet's face*
*so relaxed when in sleep*
*most faces are*
*maybe she's wrong to stand in their way*
(Night guys :) Nos da.)
(Nos da, Bach!
*will be here for a while*)
(Oh...
Good night, Seri!
Are you staying, Jai? Or off to sleep, too?)
(I gotta sleep, I have school (hell) in the morning.)
(Okay. Good night, Jai!)
(Good night!)
What even are life.
*is really anxious about nothing and xan't sleep*
*feels a lot less anxious that I was a few hours ago because at least I can breathe normally now, but I have to get up in seven hours and I can't fucking sleep -_-*
Just watched tourettes hero Jess Tom on BBC 4. She's so amazing...so glad i watched it.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bbcfour
Wow I haven't been here in aaaaages!
Cover looks fab, Derek! Can't wait for book two, I read the first around my first few weeks of college chaos ahaha xD
Hope everyone's well :)
(Hello Corvo! How art thou?
I normally go by chloe g or inky
*goes back to bed*))
(*glares at war for being a thing people do*
Just in case anyone in Europe hasn't seen the news, there's a silence at 11 GMT, 12 Paris Time, etc.)
(Hi.)
I personally just can't wait until the books get re-released but with minimalistic covers! It's gonna happen, right?
If that isn't an amazing cover I don't know what is.
I love it!
(Hello? Is it me you're looking for?)
(*hugs Chloe*)
(Hi. *waves*
Can't wait to deal with parents today.
-_-
Well, I can always hope today will be better than yesterday...
How are you, guys?)
(*higs you both* I'm gooood ^.^
I'm here for you Kassy)
(I dare you all to watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS_Xq7gSCBM)
@Jai: Yeah we had it at school. Well, no one in our class knew it was gonna happpen until a bell rang and Miss went "Oh yeah that's a one minute silence for the Paris thing" and we all just sat in silence for a minute. Cat's class didn't even know i t was gonna happen; the bell rang and they were like "ytf is a bell ringing at this time" and just carried on. :P
(*hugs star*)
(What was the point of one minute silence anyway?)
:) *hugs Chloe*
CAT WON!!!!!!!
(Formal debate competition. Two v. two (Cat with arguing with Harvey against Beth and Ellis). I was her research partner. We've been preparing for two weeks. She was freaking out about it so much today and I was telling her that it would be fine and that she was awesome and that I thought her side would win, and they WON, and I'm so pleased for her. <3)
(@Star Yay! :)
@Kas: it's like the two minute silence on Remembrance Day. You just think of the people who died and feel sorry for them and stuff.
(Weel done to her ^.^
anyone watch the video?)
(@Star I don't know anyone who died. And remembering them like two days later seems weird, as we've not had a chance to forget them. It's all over the news.
@Chloe It's not loading on my phone.)
(Awwwwkay)
@Kas: It wasn't Remembrance Day, though. You just think of them and feel sad for them.
You don't have to know anyone personally, it's just general mournfulness for those who've died.
I have to admit, it is easier on Remembrance Day. I spent the minutes after the minute silence tody being a like "duuuude people die all the time why are this particular 180 special"
(What. The. Frockery?!?!)
Evening.
I'm currently working on a history essay, which uh currently extremely under the word count.
Oh no, I just realised I was logged in on the wrong google account on my other browser! I have several and I'm logged in on different ones on chrome and firefox??
(Ieni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HI Jai!)
Evening Chloe! :) Lovely to see you - how are you?
'Why did France go to war in 1792?' Do I really need to write a whole essay on this? Isn't the answer simply 'the idiots were in charge?'
(I am good, you?
hehehe that's how I feel writing essays in English XD)
(@Inky what the frock?!?! Did that can eat the ducks guts?!?! You watch WEIRD stuff.)
(you've never seen the series of don't hug me im scared? I recommend watching them, then watching theory videos ^.^)
(@Star But, like... They weren't soldiers... They were just civilians. So it's more comparable to the Holocaust, or 9/11, which I don't think we do a minute of silence for.)
(I've seen the first one.)
(I recommend the whole series ^.^ it is a continuous thing and all will be revealed in the next one)
(*Falls from the sky*)
OMG HEY IENI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Kas: Remembrance Day was just an example.
And, actually, considering conscription, WW1 was, in the end, less about people bravely volunteering to give their lives and more about bad shit happening to innocent civilians who were just going about their daily lives. Which is pretty similar to what happened in Paris. Although at least it was quick for those in Paris.
(Yes, I know that many, many people signed up in 1914, and I also know that Remembrance Day is supposed to be about ALL soldiers. I'm just pointing out).
And, yeah, I agree; yes, 180 people died, and yes, it was awful, but plenty of people die all the freaking time and don't get minute silences.
@Ieni: And this is why I didn't take essay subjects. :)
(Hi John!
GREEN IS NOT A CREATIVE COLOUR!)
(Heyo people.)
(Have you seen don't hug me I'm scared?)
(*hugs kas tightly*)
(Hey.

(You know, it's been a while since i made a new character, I might try to make one up, all my characters are really boring now. Might get rid of them. No point in keeping them if they bore me and aren't going anywhere.)
(Hey Chloe, no i don't think i have, I've heard of it though.)
( yeh baby I basically did the same... we can both make new ones with a story together :P ehehe that way it can flourish and go places )
