My favorite I did was my first project. A Plague’s tale is just a well designed game, with puzzles, story telling, and awesome mechanics and having an excuse to talk about it was a lot of fun. I loved learning how much of that story was based in reality, and then I used it as… Read more My Favorite Project

Simililizing The Brain to a Garden
Okay this is an abstract question. I wonder why Cupid and Apollo were the only two Gods mentioned in this story. Apollo for the sun, sure, Cupid because Cupid sure, but I feel like there are far better metaphors with Persephone and any of her past iterations (her origins a little unknown if she is… Read more Simililizing The Brain to a Garden
A Blazing World Questions
I’m not sure if I talked about this in a post before, but the origins of how magic works in this world just brings so many questions. In Celtic and Nordic culture, nature IS magic, and it seems to draw a lot of themes from things like that. However most Pagan roots carry this theme.… Read more A Blazing World Questions
The Faerie Queene Question
Okay as someone DEEPLY ENCHIRED IN FAE CULTURE, I wonder a lot of this story, actually, all Fae stories. Fairies as we know today are NOTHING like what they used to think of Fae. I looked it up and this whole story is like an allegory to Queen Elizbeth, and to me it’s like, why… Read more The Faerie Queene Question
Second Project
Integrated Perspective
Obviously one of the things I hyper focused on this semester was how Christianity effects almost any story we read. Not only the religion, but the culture too. I had a second class after our class called “Twice Told Tales”. In this class we focused on old and new stories about mad scientist throughout history.… Read more Integrated Perspective
Favorite Project
My favorite project has to be Colton making the Green Knight a playable DND character. I think my favorite part about it, so how much I disagree with how he designed the Green Knight. Making him a Bard never really occurred to me. Colton argues it’s because the Green Knight doesn’t actually really fight a… Read more Favorite Project
Milton
After talking about who we would caste as each character, I wanted to circle back around to casting Eve. I thought it would be very ironic to caste Amber Heard as Eve. Something about this story painting Eve as this secret abuser, the dramatics of it. I just feel like the audience would really read… Read more Milton
Cherub Vs Snake
In Milton’s retelling of this story, in Book 3 I think it is, Satan disguised himself as a Cherub. I thought this was super interesting choice. Satan is almost always some kind of serpent, which has always held a lot of weight to me. Considering this was one of the only things I believe Christianity… Read more Cherub Vs Snake
The Blazing World
While reading this story I couldn’t help but think about an essay I wrote my first semester of college. I argued that in some culture nature in-itself is magic. I feel like to The Blazing World, this also holds true. The land as a whole seems very alive, like it has a soul. everything from… Read more The Blazing World
