![]() ![]() The earliest story in Kull’s own timeline is “Exile of Atlantis.” A tribeswoman who had fled to marry into enemy tribe is shipwrecked in her home territory. ![]() He rose swiftly in the army, and the loyalty he gained there permitted him to overthrow the cruel, hated king and replace him. He became famous and popular, eventually winning freedom as a soldier. After being banished, he spent an unsuccessful time as a pirate and then bandit, before being captured by the kingdom of Valusia and made to fight as a gladiator. Only some former mountains survived, as islands, and after a feral time, Kull was adopted into one of these sea-mountain tribes. Kull was born in Atlantis’s Tiger Valley, but the land flooded while he was still young. Little else of the world was above the waves. A hundred thousand years ago, Atlantis still stood above the waves, but most of humanity lived on the continent of Thuria, roughly equivalent to modern Eurasia. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Kirill my god what a man what a man i have no words to write he is imperfect the way i love. ![]() I'm in love with her and every moment of her, her fragility and strength, how she's determined and fights for the ones she loves, even the way she's helping Kirill's family and how she's very protective of him. what amazing characters they are everything Sasha, her story, her personality, her strength, I did cry with her. But today I see how much I needed to meet this couple that has already entered my heart. Kirill x Sasha I already knew this couple from the other books, it's obvious that I was very curious about them, but when rina announced it i wasn't so excited as i really wanted the continuation of LEGACYS OF GODS. Worth a credit? Boy, I’m so thankful that I impatiently waited for the release of all three books in the trilogy before starting because, after each jaw-drop cliffhanger ending, I manically went straight into the next book. and ALL the love and twisted passion between Kirill and Sasha to life. Plus, the dual duet-style multi-dialect narration by Sebastian and Brooke brought ALL the rollercoaster feels. ![]() Oh, and the sharp, playful, hurtful, loving banter between Kirill and Sasha was priceless and precious and I was one hundred percent lost in their manoeuvres, their emotions and their bitter-sweet love. and it’s twists had me binge-listening till the end. If I wasn't already your number one fan Rina, I sure would be after this thrilling, spectacular trilogy. □□ NOW THAT’S HOW TO WRITE AN EPIC TRILOGY □□ ![]() ![]() ![]() Nintendo intends for the timeline to be flexible and open to interpretation, allowing for more creative freedom, and less restrictions. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Creating a Champion states that everything before the Breath of the Wild backstory has faded to myth. The portion of the timeline preceding the three-way split is known only as Hylia & the Hero of Time. ![]() Hyrule Historia released a third branch named the Fallen Hero Timeline, which resolved timeline contradictions with respect to the titles released before Ocarina of Time. In 2007, producer Eiji Aonuma confirmed the existence of two parallel timelines branching from Ocarina of Time, now officially named the Child Timeline and Adult Timeline. The timeline had previously existed in a highly confidential document conceived of at least by 2003. Though the series began in 1986, Nintendo did not publish a master timeline until Hyrule Historia in 2011. The Zelda Timeline refers to the fictional chronology of The Legend of Zelda series. The timeline shown on page 10 of Encyclopedia ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead of fast-paced action there’s bawdy conversation at a neighborhood diner, along city streets or in kitschy tourist traps – to me, reading Ghost World was a lot like taking in an early Jim Jarmusch film, with perhaps just a bit more color. Clowes has something important to say about life, culture and our society, namely by candidly looking at the turbulent days of adolescence, and his storytelling is contagious stuff. Right from the first pages it’s apparent Ghost World is not a traditional comic book (or graphic novel), more Comix than comic and more Crumb than Captain America. It’s a dramatic look that draws the reader’s attention to more important things – the rich characterization and dialogue that continues to make Ghost World a novel work. True to its name, each Ghost World frame is lovingly sketched in a pop-art hand and inked with a frosty shade of blue reminiscent of twilight and flickering televisions. Rather, Daniel Clowes obviously tried to achieve realism by using an elegantly minimal design. ![]() Unlike many contemporary Marvel productions, Ghost World doesn’t shoot for lifelike rendering, or surreal imagery like Sandman and some of its Vertigo ilk. ![]() I’m lucky I read Ghost World before seeing the film-adaptation because the comics are a visual treat. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Snyder's "Bloodlands" label is jarring, a title those beautiful lands and those who now live there do not deserve. The zone is the territory that lies between central Poland and, roughly, the Russian border, covering eastern Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic republics. The time is between about 1930 – the start of the second Ukraine famine – and 1945. ![]() His subject is the deliberate mass murder of civilians – Jewish and non-Jewish – in a particular zone of Europe in a particular time-frame. He is not writing about the fate of soldiers or bombing victims in the second world war, and neither is he confining himself to the Jewish Holocaust. (Since the fall of communism, archives have continued to open and witnesses – Polish, Ukrainian, Belarussian especially – have continued to break silence.) But Snyder's second job was to limit his own scope, by subject and by place. The first was to bring together the enormous mass of fresh research – some of it his own – into Soviet and Nazi killing, and produce something like a final and definitive account. In this book, he seems to have set himself three labours. ![]() ![]() Recognising that historical identities do not have exact counterparts in the present but are instead very loosely related to contemporary queer identities and social politics, I use the term ‘queer’ in the sense elaborated by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick: ‘the open mesh of possibilities, gaps, overlaps, dissonances and resonances, lapses and excesses of meaning when the constituent elements of anyone’s gender, of anyone’s sexuality aren’t made (or can’t be made) to signify monolithically’. The queer sensibility, by developing its language of ‘queer codes’, simultaneously learns from its precursors and finds a way to create new communities. The continuing relevance of these voices results from the mutual inspiration and recognition, by which they eventually transformed the work done by queer people of the past into the heritage of future generations. ![]() ![]() The cultural phenomenon known as Fin de siècle or Decadence contributed many new voices to cultures of sexual difference and dissidence. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are lots of stupid things about Lake Main. But it made me miss Briarly, where no one would have done that. ![]() Some people are absolute assholes, but I already knew that, and I worked to remember that it didn’t have that much to do with me. In other words, the humiliation happened, but not the actual killing myself in the hallway. And Logan got the unsavory task of telling me that it was there, and the heroic one of throwing it out. So everyone got to imagine me slipping and falling without it actually happenin. What happened instead was that Logan (and everyone else) saw it there and Logan threw it in the trash chute that goes from the third floor to the inaccessible garbage dump in the basement. The central idea of growing up while overcoming an adversity is developed via a story line blended between her old life (before the accident) and her current life (after the accident). Whoever did it apparently thought it would be funny if I stepped onto it and-what? Went flying headfirst into the bank of lockers? Slipped like a cartoon character on a banana peel? Cracked my skull against the floor or a wall? The novel, Blind, by Rachel DeWoskin is a journey into the mind of a high school girl who is suddenly blinded by a tragic accident. To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt: ![]() ![]() Surrounded by motifs of hands, cars, and violent, bloodied displays of passion, Crush paints depictions of love and violence side by side to portray the panic that often comes with the surrender to vulnerability. ![]() Siken writes about heartbreak and regret, second chances and dreams, and relationships both dangerous and loving alike. On the surface, Crush is a book about love in a world where the love you experience can hurt you, and you don’t know if it will consume you or save you in the end. His poetry books typically revolve around his experiences as a gay man, but Crush in particular is known for its heart-wrenching exploration of human emotion, love, and its overarching tone of fear. Crush won the 2004 Yale Younger Poets award and, within a year, became a cult classic among poets and poetry fans alike. Siken is an American poet and the author of Crush (2004) and War of the Foxes (2015). ![]() Richard Siken’s poetry collection Crush is not one you can start and finish in the same sitting, and I mean that as the highest compliment. ![]() ![]() ![]() He’s everything about doing what makes you actually feel exceptional and taking pleasure in while doing it. He consents to try anything when whether that be with a girl or a guy. ![]() He’s arrogant and likewise has no filter. Logan … the guy displays sex from the approach he strolls, talks, clothing, to those appealing glasses. Yep, I popped my MM cherry with this book and likewise I might not have actually picked a far much better book to be my very first. ![]() This publication was my intro right into the MM world. ![]() ![]() ![]() The conflict of interest between the Quiet Council and Mystique has been a ticking time bomb in the X-Men books for years, and it now seems like Moira is about to set the fuse aflame. Of these, the reappearance of Moira MacTaggert and her inevitable confrontation with Mystique seems to be the most enticing. Furthermore, there are echoes of Powers of X, New Mutants, and X-Men throughout the issue - showing the X-Men fighting Orchis, the Quiet Council in disarray and Moira scheming. ![]() ![]() In Inferno #1, Hickman brings the journey that began in Dawn of X full-circle in the book's first pages by recreating House of X's famous opening. RELATED: Marvel Teases a Digital-Only X-Men Series From Hickman and Shalvey How will the newest member of the Quiet Council respond to Moira's demands? However, if Moira is going to help the X-Men she'll need something in return. Now in her tenth life, Moira is confronted by Magneto and Professor Xavier, who need her help taking down Orchis. As they slowly realize the secret behind Krakoa's longevity, the story flashes back to Moira MacTaggert's third life, where she came face-to-face with Destiny and was killed for her transgressions. Inferno #1 begins with the scientists aboard the Orchis Forge reflecting on the many times the X-Men infiltrated their base. ![]() |
