My expression while reading 1 Kings & 2 Kings:

"She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all"

Chapter 247. The Whole Team.

The next morning, a barely hung-over Kay Khosrow gathered Rostam and Zal, along with Tus, Gudarz, Giv, and everyone else who was anyone. Kay Kavus was not included. “I’m thinking of going on a massive, Iran-spanning hunting trip,” he announced. “Slash recruiting session, for a mysterious future mission.” Continue reading Chapter 247. The Whole Team.

1 Kings 18:27

Elijah, watching hundreds of Baal worshippers call on their god for hours, presumably with a smug grin: "Cry louder! Maybe he's sleeping!"

This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord.

Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.

The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.

I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.

How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.

I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.

many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !

“When Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart to serve other gods. …

He followed Ashtaroth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch, the abomination of the Ammonites.

Solomon did what was evil at the sight of the Lord. …

He did the same thing for all of his foreign wives. He burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.”

1Kings 11:4-5-6,8

Chapter 231. You're Not Piran.

“Oh, wow,” said Giv, backing away. “You’re a lot scarier up close than I thought.” With that, he turned and ran like a rabbit, Piran tearing after him, ignoring the many cries of “Sir! Sir! Wait for us!” from the opposite riverbank. Finally, when the river was out of sight, Giv finally whirled round. Continue reading Chapter 231. You’re Not Piran.
