Ha!

I honestly loved this chapter. Pirateaba foes something with their characters, that is simply revolutionary. She makes them people. People have hopes and dreams and desires, and they care about things. They aren’t tropic, like many other stories I can name, but emotional and reactive. When have you felt sad or bored for a reason you just can’t name? When have you been affronted by a friend who you feel undermines you at every turn even as you do them favour after favour? Anyone who suddenly finds Erin annoying after all we’ve seen of her in the story just because she gets a little stropp, isn’t getting the point of the writing, at least as I understand it. Erin’s supposed to be emotional, supposed to be human, It’s that charismatic drive, her strength of will that brings something like a play into being. Without dreams, people simply don’t thrive and without performance, books, movies, tv-series, the world would simply be a darker place. That’s why I loved this chapter. Because it is a story of people, expressing themselves, as people on the stage, in a way that felt organic and natural. That and the ludicrous level of world building presented in this story is what I read TWI to see.

Ahahaha

I agree! I like the idea of Erin consolidating her classes in some way especially after what we’ve learned about the way they work!

She didn’t know Toren was sentient. It’s like how we treat Chatgpt or our computer. Who hasn’t yelled at our laptops or given trivial tasks or questions to chatgpt. We don’t feel bad about making them do work cuz it’s not alive.

Is survival good enough for you? Just getting enough money for month to month at a job you hate? Yes people do it all the time, people have to to survive. But is it so wrong for someone to dream and want more with their lives than just a place to sleep, a full belly and to live without physical harm?

Is it wrong to dream about wanting be more, as unrealistic as it is? Astronaut, Doctor, CEO, Movie Star, Engineer, Comedian, Lawyer.

You try living without laptops, phone, tv, books, movies, video and board games, and music for over 3 months and let me know if you aren’t bored yet
