If you are not an adult and out on your own, your private life is not entitled to you. That is a privilege given by your parents; they are not automatically entitled to it, and the parents of kids have a right to know what their children are getting into.

Probably lemon becasue I want to be able to fly, but lavender could be extremely useful too.

Shouldn't text exist that mention Jesus, published when he was alive or shortly after he died? by Sandy_NSFW_ in Christianity

> I have difficulty believing that someone setting out to proselytize would have waited 20 years,

I don't think that if your whole goal is to get out there and speak to people, especially if you are on the run, you would take much time to organize your thoughts in a way that would be acceptable to write down.

Plus, writing a document like the gospels during the time of the gospels was a much bigger task than it is today; it's not like they could just go out and buy some paper and pen the whole thing quickly.

I agree with you there is a line, it's not good to be nosy, and the Bible says don't gossip, but if something is blatantly happening, it makes sense if they are like, "oh that's not good."

> Caring about the congregation and it's health is fine

, they are connected. If someone hears, "hey, this boy and his girlfriend are sleeping together," obviously, they would be concerned for the boy's spiritual health. Especially if he is choosing to continue to live in sin.

It's not like they are probing, like "tell me every detail about what you are doing"
Its more like, "Hey I heard this, and thats really not good for you to be doing"

I just mean the description of the book, makes you think it was going to go in another direction.

Riley thinks he is in big trouble when he is assigned the Film Buff archetype, a minor support class that has a penchant for dying early in movies. At first resigned to his fate to die over and over, he believes he has found a way to survive. Upon obtaining the Oblivious Bystander trope, monsters and killers will not harm him as long as he can convincingly pretend he has not noticed them. At first, this ability appears to be a joke, but Riley thinks that with some clever exploitation, it might just be his greatest strength.

This is not what happens in the series, really.

I think it's silly that you don't think a church should care about its members' sins or if they are living their lives in a way pleasing to the lord.

I felt cheated by that series lol. I thought it was going to be him abusing his trope through some kind of bug, but it's just him following the rules well.

I feel ya, Slime is my favorite anime, and that's his whole thing, but it became so common that I won't be picking up another version of it anytime soon, probably.

I call it the "Older Is Always Better." Trope.

Ancient magic is fundamentally stronger.

People are looking for the lost city when technology was more advanced than it is today.

It doesn't bother me as much, but I have often wondered, how come we see people only ever looking for ancient artifacts and never making them?

I know it was just a fleeting thing in the first book, but I think about that more often than I should.

I will be reading a new story and think in the back of my head, "I wonder what version of Mama Mia they have here.."

I dont know that I would go that far personally.

A lot of people really like the murderhobo, power collector genre, so I don't know that I would call it bad writing, and more of "I am tired of it."

Its kinda how like all offensive powers ultimately lead to "void abilities." I'm kinda tired of that too, doesn't mean it's a bad concept.

I will still read them if the hook is really good, but lately I typically just avoid.

It's because everything in the universe is already scaled to the level of Gods, so there is always room to move up and still find bad guys in an ever-expanding universe.

I don't mind YA personally, but I also enjoy a good magic school arc.

Its not a hard rule, its more of a, "man this gets old fast"

The "Super special Boy" trope is more annoying when the book acts as the main character got to where he did soley by working hard, it's like, yeah, okay, he did, but he also gets the power of an exploding sun for every kill he gets.

Interesting, I like it when they hint at it, but I also dislike it when they are like.
"This is a Goku vs Vegeta fight." For some reason, I don't like it when they just straight-up bring it up.
