Character arcs kinda vague nowadays. You really gotta go through the trenches to get it down as a new writer.

Whenever a show has more female characters than male characters you just know it's going to be utter garbage.

@naosouumafruta @HOTDNewsHBO Yeah, but the Riverlands were absolutely ravaged by the War of the Five Kings. Possibly on the scale of the 30 Years War.

"There was no such thing as Byzantium. It was the Roman Empire itself"
eren@erenx20_
There was no such thing as Byzantium. It was the Roman Empire itself, not a state claiming to be its successor. Everyone called it Rome, and its people were Romans. Emperor Constantine, who founded Constantinople, was a Latin. The Hellenic identity was revived in the 19th century.

It's fascinating how rabidly writing subreddits are against structured planning.

Honestly, to get back on track, civilization probably needs a combination of a Witch Hunt, an Inquisition, and a Holocaust.

Another way you can seee this is in how LLM's are incapable of separating the medium from the work. The medium is almost always mistaken for a quality of the work

Not only are LLMs sycophantic in a deeply inhuman way, but when they're disagreeable, they're disagreeable in a deeply inhuman way too

The way you can tell this is true is by the fact that AI render a piece of creative literature either so semantically leaky it becomes nonsense, or fall so into AXALT fallacies that they render it so rigid as to drain the work of all creativity.

@NyXosV @RealHellenist Elite replacement; that is the similarity between the Norman Conquest and the Byzantine separation from the Western Empire. In both cases the legal and institutional norms continued to persist, but were now expressed through a different cultural context and form of legitimacy.
English
@ChatsWick @RealHellenist The Norman conquest was a foreign invasion that replaced the Anglo-Saxons. Eastern Roman Empire was a deliberate administrative division of the Roman Empire because it had grown too big. And I said "strong persistence of Roman law, codified by Justinian", it's not just a term.
English
The Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) was a Greek Empire, not a Latin Empire.
Hellenist ☀️🏺⚡️@RealHellenist
The Byzantine Empire was a Greek Empire carrying Roman imperial continuity through Constantinople.

And ideologues that call the Byzantine Empire the "Roman Empire"
Zy@ZyMazza
It's full of sinners, hypocrites, and powerful people. So obviously
English
@NyXosV @RealHellenist This is like arguing the term "Roman Empire" is a modern convention for the "Roman Republic" under Augustus. The English state of the Normans can be said to be a direct continuation of the English state of the Anglo-Saxons, but you would hardly ever hear the two being conflated.
English
@ChatsWick @RealHellenist Not historically true. The Byzantine Empire is the direct continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire, with strong persistence of Roman law, codified by Justinian, and imperial institutions. It progressively evolved over the centuries but remained absolutely Roman until 1453

The hoax of claiming the Byzantine Empire is the Roman Empire has spead through Twitter like a virus.

@NyXosV @RealHellenist Leaving aside the difference between what a people addressed themselves as and what they actually were. The legal, institutional, and political forms fundamentally differed between the Roman Empire (Principate + Dominate) and the Byzantine Empire.
English
@ChatsWick @RealHellenist The Byzantine Empire is a modern term for the Eastern Roman Empire. Its people were Romans and consistently defined themselves as such. Their laws, institutions, and political identity remained fundamentally Roman until the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
