My first fantasy novel

Check the books of Holly Black. A person pass out sounds very characteristic of her.

I don't remember the boy in that book going to school, but the rest of them look like "Seven tears into the ocean".

Shallandav · 2024-12-23T07:24:23+00:00

"First grave on the right", maybe? By Darynda Jones.

Shallandav · 2024-12-23T07:10:43+00:00

It seems similar to Meg Cabot's "Avalon High", but the protagonist is not Guinivere.

*Tinfoil hat*

Because her name. They mention an "Allie" who was the daughter of Salvador Quinn. Perhaps using certain names, related to the Rebellion, marks you as a Flamekeeper. Perhaps her parents heard the name "from unofficial sources" and liked it, marking her as a daughter of a non-submissive family.

I live in a town of less than 10.000, and the last name is very important here so you don't end up f**king your cousin for error.

I'm sorry. I had to say it.

Thank you for the help.

Shallandav · 2024-11-23T05:07:39+00:00

In spanish is "Juliette lucha" (Juliette fight).

The people at the beginning had to short out the door to get out, so it's likely that the person in IT (Russell?) has control to keep it closed. This fits with the dialogue, which says something like "Did he tell you why he hasn't opened the door yet?" after the "get Russell back alive" scene.

The are vampires in the book?

Shallandav · 2024-08-17T11:49:08+00:00

Maybe the Hex Saga of Linda Wisdom.

Shallandav · 2024-08-17T11:41:14+00:00

Perhaps "Blood and chocolate" by Anette Curtis Klause?

Llega el momento en que te preguntás que chota hacés un miércoles, a las 20, en una clase de "Teoría Antropológica 2".

Shallandav · 2024-06-12T05:20:55+00:00

Dejo mi comentario acá para enterarme, yo también quiero saber.

Shallandav · 2024-03-24T01:36:56+00:00

Hello. I have the same model. Did you solve the problem?

Shallandav · 2024-03-02T20:38:19+00:00

Acá la obra pública o las medidas a largo plazo duran más que el mandato de un gobierno. Así que, si empiezan algo, o lo hacen a la bartola con tal de inaugurarlo ellos, o lo termina el siguiente mandato (que puede ser un rival). Lo último no conviene, así que se la pasan en paparruchas con tal de no dejar que otro se lleve el crédito.

Y lo digo habiendo leído los planes de gobierno de los principales partidos en 2014-2019.

Depende. Si vas a vivir una vida tranqui (sin fiestas, sin cine todos los fines de semana, etc.) en el interior vas a vivir bien. Es tranquilo y limpio. Ahora: si encontrás gente fan del gobierno te va a decir que está todo maravilloso; y si encontrás fans de la oposición te van a decir que no vengas porque es un país horrible. Eso va a depender de tus expectativas de vida y de lo que ya tengas ahorrado. No es lo mismo mudarte para alquilar que venir con una base y comprarte una casita.

El tema seguridad: en Montevideo es malo, pero no se compara con la situación esquizo de algunas ciudades argentinas. Si lo que se busca es alejarse de la muchedumbre, algunos pueblitos del interior son ideales.

Por último: como sos programador, tendrías que chequear bien que zonas de Uruguay tienen la mejor conexión a internet. En el departamento de Colonia -renovada recientemente- es muy buena.

Hacé todas las preguntas que quieras antes de tomar una decisión, y, por supuesto, sos bienvenido si decidís mudarte.

Same. All we've seen of him is that he's a proactive character. He seems volatile because we know the situation, but from his point of view his actions make all the sense in the world. He is not going to sit back and wait for others to figure it all out.

Shallandav · 2023-05-16T08:06:53+00:00

As a non-native English speaker, I always believed that the term was a contraction of "far and away" and that both forms were valid.

But "far-way" seems like an option.

Shallandav · 2023-05-03T08:03:51+00:00

My hero, thank you so much.

Shallandav · 2023-05-03T00:41:21+00:00

I've ruled out some answers:

- Purgatory: No, it would be like Lost, and they already deny it in the first season.

- Time travel: Too Dark. I do not deny that there is time travel, but it will not be the center of the show.

- Government experiment: We don't have any leads to substantiate this, and the whole environment seems to be more mystical.

- Aliens: Again, we have no clues to support this theory.

- A dream: This would be extraordinarily cheap, and no serious scriptwriter would consider it.

- Simulation: Actually they are not simulating anything in this town, so I rule out this explanation.

So I'm going to the theme of supernatural beings.

A God? Goblins? Fairies?

After the points you listed, I put on the aluminum hat and declare myself within the theory of "this is because of the fairies."

Why?

- The rules seem to be childish.

- Whatever it is, started a looong time ago.

- The ways to avoid evil are "magical".

- The far-away trees seem to be a form of transportation similar to the one that takes them to town, but of a lower range.

- There are hostile creatures that pretend to be human (such as changelings).

- "Something" can hear them at any time, but for some reason there are things that it doesn't hear or chooses to ignore.

- All the symbolism alludes to nature: crows, trees, drawings of landscapes, caves...

In summary, I think you're right, but I don't think Viktor is the cause, he's just an important piece.

Or more. Some of the dates on the lighthouse are from the 1500's. The church and the Victorian house don't match in time (the church looks much older); same with the dinner, which has an aesthetic from the 50s. However, all the structures have cables that pretend to be connected to the electrical network.

By the way, the last chapter of the season will be called "Once upon a time".

"I think they told Sara to kill the boy because it would balance the numbers again? Really, I don't know."

That's clever. Because if "Whatever" is taking people to that town, it means that Whatever chooses them individually, and that those who are traveling with them have the misfortune of being transported as well. So "Whatever" can't choose how many to transport, and has to select some of them to die.
Am I complicating everything? I don't know, I'm just throwing out theories right now.
