On the non-NaRe front
Dec. 14th, 2008 09:57 amI just want to take the time for a brief shout out to the uncaring universe for the joys of things matching up.
So there's this bit about four angels bound at the Euphrates river, and I go "OMG Eden! Those are the angels God put to guard Eden!" (Interestingly, absolutely no one else seems to think this.) so obviously horsemen = cherubs. Then I find Wikipedia says they're based on lion/human things, which is thematically right, and then I realize it says they have two faces! Exactly matching the whole thing I was going to do! Double-perfect matching, even, while being pretty original, which is not something you can claim every day. And then there's these other ones, and I was going to make them mute because they're not the malak, and then I find out they ARE supposed to be mute, and then I realize that A Wrinkle in Time would have a great scene I can tie in and they are going to the library a bunch of times, and this joke about converted roleplayers she meets, well, then they'll be happy to share their canons with Adalia and then Exalted fluff will be key to another major thing which doubles back into Judaism, and - so in sum, I'm happy thatthe reflected Word of God has been guiding my search my little monkey brain is creating connections and weaving them together as if the whole thing was actually planned.
