More Signum University (BoLT). I love it.
How the lecturer speaks about how the Valar are in BoLT = how I see the Valar in general. I don't see them as this dumb, but yes, of course they do have "happy accidents", they can have character arcs, they are... they are blorbos. Basically, in BoLT the Valar are blorbos by design. <3 (But also, they are so dumb in BoLT) I mean, I can't see how I could read them differently, even in published Silm, and not assume from their behavior that it is an evil world... Maybe I'm just too chaotic, idk.
the lecturer said the word "type"! :D (yes, I have weird interests & reactions) (not, not as in "comic sans")
still didn't get to the "Melko on a tree" part :(
