Well, that's basically the reason I like Pratchett: the subverts the trope and then turns that up to eleven. DEATH is doing a job. Just that. But, his hobby (as far as anthropomorphic concepts can have hobbies) is to become more human, or at least study human behaviour, often resulting in funny moments when peopel meet their end, and soon afterwards, death.
same reason disney always makes them the villain in movies:it allows you to comfortably categorize them without searching for moral ambiguity or exploring the sensitive topic of whether death, suffering and disaster are necessary.
And reading it is an act of worshipreciting it is an act of prayer, reading it is a test of
(snort)Well, I'd say everyone making an effort to create Mavra themed erotic poetry has to some extent made a pilgrimage in your honor

Worshippers???!!
She was very interested in Ramirez. I think she is an omnivoreI think it's more of a thing of virgins tasting better then those who are not (good luck getting that reference)
Other than Lara devouring Madeline; which was more cannibalistic than anything else, is there proof she swings both ways? Did I miss a inference or innuendo in one of the books?well, the whoel thing that the WCV invented girl on girl is hot, and I believe she made quite an entrance the first time we saw her... Though I am not sure for the time being...
into the genre? we allready have Bianca, Lara, and Lea...Lea I guess falls under the general "ladies of winter screw anything that moves" vibe that seems to be going on... But then again, huddling up for cold nights is an excellent way to stay alive in winter
cough coughmabsheshereallreadycoughcoughWell, I was more thinking along the lines of Mother Winter revealed. Mab is only 1 aspect of the Morrigan (weirdly enough Maeve, the adversary of the morrigan, is her daughter), maybe mother winter has the other 2...
I like the way that my professor once described Apollo. The god of everything the Greeks were really proud of (prophecy, healing, light, civilization, etc.)true, however the greatest greek god (and simultaneously the least respected) was Dionysus: God of booze, booty and paaartay! I totally see Molly worshipping him by doing the one woman rave
Ares was the god of war, but mainly the bad aspects of war. He was the guy that none of the other Olympians really liked (even his daddy Zeus ). Athena took over the respectable aspects of war. Once you get to the Romans, Mars was given more respect
Do you think Mavra is Carmilla, because I always though Carmilla was well, Hot? That's something that Mavra is definitely not. Not even in a Nightmare before Christmas or Cemetery Man sort of way.
i'm not forcing him to change. just to grow as a great author and mystery writer. if we all prove his books too easy to decipher and predict he'll know to step it up a notch.but then again, the collective mind of the DF community makes those things easier then a person on his or her own. and I think a balance must be maintained where a person on his/her own shuld stay able to do these things.
not to say we've been doing a terribly good job deciphering clues so far...
my goal is to spoil as many of jim's beans as possible to force him into developing his ability to create cryptic clues and ongoing mysteries. nothing like a little motivation to develop talentGranted, but I like what he is doing now. I only want to satisfy my curiosity a bit (however impossible that is), not force ijm to change completely. Besides, if the clues are too obscure it will seem like retconning, and I'd like slightly more forewarning then just 1 word wich may or indeed may not indicate whatever...
