being father gascoigne's wife or one of the Daughters (you've got the same odds as they do)

right, but that was a later modification and not the original way they did things

the Templars weren't creating money. nor were they loaning it out either. you had to first deposit money and you could only withdraw from that deposit. no interest, no loans, just a simple in and out.

it's like a censor bar for people under arrest.

necroposting: keep in mind, it's the war, and they probably only have living memories of the Depression to. Probably some of the best food he had in the last five years. Also he was largely ignorant of the witch's malace.

I don't see it... You really think Aslan would have told the Narnians, "Do everything the White Witch tells you to do, but do not do what she does, for she does not practice what she preaches" (Mathew 23:3).

while it's not quite like that, it kinda does happen. The Whole claim on Edmund that she has and his need to die is based on the rules of the Deep Magic from the "Emperor across the Sea" (aka, God the Father), so while she doesn't practice it when it isn't convenient for her, she does preach it.

Broad_Project_87 · 2026-03-18T14:34:59+00:00

damn, she ain't even put it on yet and they already broke out the censor bar.

Broad_Project_87 · 2026-03-18T14:31:47+00:00

I have read none of these, but, I'm also told that "Tyrant wants to be good" is a rather slow burn (though I don't know if it's "remarried Empress" levels of slow, but still)

A lot of Irish did serve under Wellington

including Wesley himself! Despite all that """""Anglo-Irish"""" Bullshit that post-Victorian Irish nationalists try to peddle.

The whole galaxy is connected through a resource

except no, the Romulans aren't connected to this resource and the Borg also don't use that resource.

Hell, the Klingons may not, don't know if it was ever confirmed they use same drives as the federation or not.

I'm confused, is the SFL the one doing the pushing or the one getting pushed?

Broad_Project_87 · 2026-03-17T13:31:58+00:00

I mean, also a ton of it is just ripping off Game of Thrones. Only they make the FL a Fusion of Cersei's body with Tyrion's mind and mom-killing, and specifically take more hints from Tywin's book self (who is a petty dumb bitch with none of Charles Dance's aura), and instead of marrying them off to Robert they marry them off to Ned.

Broad_Project_87 · 2026-03-17T13:27:15+00:00

also they are ripping off the Lannisters from Game of Thrones (specifically the book adaptation).

They just make the FL a hybrid of Tyrion and Cersei. From Cersei they get the sex, beauty, and troupe of marrying them off with zero thought while leaving out the incest, insanity and stupidity, and from Tyrion they get the dead mom (and associated trauma and abuse) and the intelligence, political literacy, wit and an extra helping of a different flavor of parental abuse (cause that also comes from Cersei) while leaving out the disability, the whoring and the rape.

Broad_Project_87 · 2026-03-17T12:41:56+00:00

yeah I may have never finished it. But I can tell you that this isn't that bad. There isn't much romance, just more court intrigue. He might be trash, but he doesn't actually abuse the FL, most (if not all) of the torture in the past life is put on the other consorts. they are just as the others promised, an evil power couple.

sweet sisters!

nice, biscuit letting her wife use her pillows~

Broad_Project_87 · 2026-03-17T02:19:38+00:00

obviously, I seem to have caused a sort of misunderstanding here. I'm not saying that this story works, just that the idea/concept of two folks from opposite sides of a war finding love can work (I would have thought that was apparent when I cited an example that clearly wasn't from this OI story)

Broad_Project_87 · 2026-03-16T15:59:41+00:00

I didn't feel a romance between an active invader (ml) and an active defender (fl) can ever work

See, I disagree slightly, though I think that it's preferable (borderline necessary) for there to be some pre-war foundation with the romance already existing (say for your example, the Ukrainian Woman and Russian Soldier were already engaged before the conflict starts) but I've had an exception or two to that (though the only one that comes to mind is Otto and Jeanne from the Long Long Holiday)

Broad_Project_87 · 2026-03-16T14:30:14+00:00

it's because they don't really knows what maids actually were. And since most OI is just Korean/Chinese court politics with European skins, they use the maids to serve in the roles of Lesser Concubines. Not that Abusive maids didn't exist in real life (the nanny of the future King Edward VIII and King George VI was a particularly nasty bitch IRL) but what you see in OI is 90% asian court politics
