Does her going half in on a Pizza count ? ??<| sep |> There ' s a rather large group of folks out there myself included that don ' t care what anyone ' s doing politically and just wanna live in peace . <| sep |> Nice goal Wazza ! Liking the energy level tonight <| sep |> I dont understand why Sam Bradford keeps getting chance after chance . <| sep |> With all due respect , I think it ' s an incredibly narrow and dogmatic approach to storytelling to say that themes are the only things that matter , and things like plot and character are just devices to serve those themes . A lot of the most popular and most enjoyable stories of the modern era have incredibly broad , generic , unoriginal and uninteresting themesbut succeed because they ' re populated with strong , memorable , likeable characters , who get into exciting and unique situations , which they resolve through interesting and surprising means . At the end of the day , stories are about peopleanything else would be so cold and alien as to not matter on an emotional level . So it seems bizarre to suggest that such things are negligible , or that threedimensional people will spring fullyformed out of the pages of your work just as soon as you ' ve determined what your themes are . That kind of thinking leads to Urobuchi Genstyle characterspeople without any real substance to them , serving as nothing more than twodimensional mouthpieces for a particular conflict or ideology the author decided on in the concept stage .
