The actual sexuality in Wolfe books is so tame it’s quaint. But the sexual stakes are high: condemned woman in prison/distracting her executioner, an amnesiac woman sexually attracted to a man for reasons she can’t understand, a woman fully objectified into living pornography…
Wasn’t the threat of this exact thing the catalyst for the first crusade?
I’m pretty sure they moved the remains to Rome for safe keeping because Turkey was being destroyed, and when the remains got there, the pope was like “enough is enough. They tried to get Santa.”
BONES attributed to Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, kept since 1098 in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, were STOLEN from their reliquary inside the basilica, then DESTROYED.
The suspect, arrested at his home, admitted to SMASHING the display case protecting the reliquary, then stealing its contents, BURNING the bones and CRUSHING them out of a “desire to destroy.”

Elections shouldn’t matter this much.
We shouldn’t feel like everything is on the line every 2 Years.
The government shouldn’t have this much power over people.
@Saam_Orlong@NickReadFantasy no man he's saying recommendations should have some similitude. like you may as well be recommending a rubix cube, thats how dissimilar BOTNS is from rr
@iSamw1se@AaronIrber No.
The difference is viewing the scene in context to EVERYTHING ELSE, vs in ISOLATION
This scene would mean nothing if she hadn’t made Aslan a woman, or said it’s a FAITH film, not Christian film.
Everything together displays a concerning pattern.
