Eleven Minutes is the story of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village, whose first innocent brushes with love leave her heartbroken. At a tender age, she becomes convinced that she will never find true love, instead believing that “love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer… .” A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune.
Maria’s despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness—sexual pleasure for its own sake—or risking everything to find her own “inner light” and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love.
So when I went to the theater and saw The Force Awakens for the first time, I was excited, but not too
much. I was expecting lightsabers, desert planets and unrealistic space
battles, but beyond that my expectations were tempered. My mindset was
basically “so long as it’s not as bad as The Prequels, I’ll consider it a success,”
and TFA definitely was. But – and
this is a big but – it was more than that, too. The longer I watched the movie
– the longer I watched Kylo and Rey interact – the more excited I became. I
could barely sit still. All I could think was oh my god. Oh my god, they’re Bastila and Revan. They’re the same.
There’s so many similarities between the two there’s no way this echoing was not intentional.
What follows is an essay-length, in-depth, somewhat
disjointed comparison between the two, as I try to order my thoughts. It’s
actually a continuation of this thread. Major, major spoilers after the jump, for KotOR and TFA and the Expanded Universe (seriously, don’t click past the jump if you
want to keep one or the other a surprise – I basically spoil everything). I’ll
be focusing primarily on KotOR I, because that’s the equivalent of where Kylo
and Rey are in terms of character development, but there will be a bit of KotOR
II in this as well.
Reylo vibe recommendation by @ewa-jednak-chce-spac who loves the concept of showing compassion towards the monsters in this game.
Here is her description: “In this game you’re playing a human, who enters the Underground, inhabited by the monsters sealed there by humans. The game itself strongly favors offering compassion to your opponents instead of killing them off. Don’t be discouraged by the vintage graphics – Undertale is one of these video games, which may be treated as art, not only entertainment".
Many are called…
She alone can save the world and become Death’s bride.
Cobweb Bride is a history-flavored fantasy novel with romantic elements of the Persephone myth, about Death’s ultimatum to the world.
What if you killed someone and then fell in love with them?
In an alternate Renaissance world, somewhere in an imaginary “pocket” of Europe called the Kingdom of Lethe, Death comes, in the form of a grim Spaniard, to claim his Bride. Until she is found, in a single time-stopping moment all dying stops. There is no relief for the mortally wounded and the terminally ill….
Covered in white cobwebs of a thousand snow spiders she lies in the darkness… Her skin is cold as snow… Her eyes frozen… Her gaze, fiercely alive…
While kings and emperors send expeditions to search for a suitable Bride for Death, armies of the undead wage an endless war… A black knight roams the forest at the command of his undead father … Spies and political treacheries abound at the imperial Silver Court…. Murdered lovers find themselves locked in the realm of the living…
Look closer — through the cobweb filaments of her hair and along each strand shine stars…
And one small village girl, Percy—an unwanted, ungainly middle daughter—is faced with the responsibility of granting her dying grandmother the desperate release she needs.
As a result, Percy joins the crowds of other young women of the land in a desperate quest to Death’s own mysterious holding in the deepest forests of the North…
A determined young woman and a dark knight who will redeem himself try to save their world from total annihilation.
A dead princess and her murderer may find happiness together.
A many-faced Hades will try to win his twisted, mad Persephone back.
Three couples, many reylo feels…
