Saga Vol. 7 | Brian K. Vaughan

Oof, that seems cynical.
Do we agree or disagree?🤔

llwheeler Disagree, I'd say... too cynical, yes, and also if true, not a great base for a trusting relationship... 6y

Derf Strongly disagree!!! 👊🏻😡 no foundation was built on lying. 6y

Lindy Depends on your definition of ‘love‘… 6y

Clwojick Disagree.... unless you‘re talking about how many books I‘ve bought in a single day😅😅😅. I have been known to tell a little white lie about that. Shhhhhhh they‘re mostly library books right? 6y

Clwojick All kidding aside though, I 100% disagree 6y

BookishTrish I took it to mean when we first fall in love we present a curated version of ourselves that may not be true 6y

Andrea4 @Clwojick @llwheeler @DannyHattan @Lindy I disagree too if this is done purposefully, but like @BookishTrish suggested, it isn't always intentional. I think, especially in this case, it's about a lot of the promises that get made in complete honesty but over time can't hold and thus could be considered lies. 6y

Mdargusch So cynical! No! I totally disagree. 6y

FantasyChick I agree 100%. Like @BookishTrish said, it isn't intentional but I do believe there are only a rare few that show their true selves during the "falling in love" stage. Instead, we tend to show a self that is more toned down or complimentary to our other half. Again, probably non-intentional but all too common. 6y

Eggs In love I‘d say it‘s more ‘illusion‘!?! 6y

Andrea4 @Mdargusch @FantasyChick @Eggs I LOVE that this has spawned all these thoughts! 6y

DocBrown Disagree. 6y

Been thinking about this question off and on all day, and I think I'm wood. Earth and air / wind both felt appealing in some ways, so wood feels right as being kind of a bridge between them.

Andrea4 I like it ❤❤ 6y

@Andrea4 I love this! Now I'm curious to see what everyone else would pick.
I'm a Leo and naturally terrified of water so I am definitely a Fire element. Plus, I have a bit of a hot temper and I hate the cold. It suits me! 🔥
Anyone else want to play! @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @PurpleyPumpkin

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I'm a Taurus and therefore and Earth sign, which I'd say is pretty accurate by definition. Grounded, trustworthy & dependable. 🌎🐂 6y

Andrea4 @FantasyChick funny, I'm an aries with Leo rising so def a fire sign but if I could say an element I'm made of pretty sure I'd be earth or wind. Lol 6y

PurpleyPumpkin Hmm, I had no idea what element I might be, so I did an online quiz. I‘m an ♈️ Aries, but turns out I‘m an Earth element. I‘m quiet, often sedentary 😳, like to be creative 🎨, and I‘m close to my family. https://play.howstuffworks.com/quiz/which-element-are-you?ts=cG7unKAkl&utm_sourc... 6y

I am loving this #audiobook 🥰 such a wonderful weaving of fairytale and reality.
It also made me wonder the other day- if you were made of an element (fire, earth, wind, water, metal, wood, etc) which would you consider yourself to be made of? And why?
#RandomReflections 🤣
@llwheeler @Clwojick @BookishTrish @FantasyChick @Jabberwocky @DannyHattan @Mdargusch @mdhughes72
Tag someone? Play? Lol 🤣

llwheeler Ooh, good question! Will make a good break from work to ponder and post in a little bit 🙂 6y

Mdargusch Hmmm. I need to ponder this. 🤔 6y

Andrea4 @llwheeler @Mdargusch 👍 in case you were wondering, our golem friend is made of earth and our jinni of fire! 6y

Derf I‘m going with Earth, so much you can do with it 😂 @LibrarianRyan 6y

Derf Oh and what are you choosing @Andrea4 🤗 6y

Andrea4 @DannyHattan I've thought about that often...what powers the different elements might yield. I feel strongly that I would either be made of earth or wind. I don't know what it is about standing in gusting wind, but it makes me feel free. 6y

Andrea4 @DannyHattan and what exactly would you "do" if you were made of earth? 6y

Derf @Andrea4 consume everything!!! 😂 it‘s brilliant watching nature reclaim developed parts of the world. Love seeing that. 6y

LibrarianRyan @DannyHattan toss up. Fire, because as I have the power to destroy, I also have the power to create. I can be effected by the changing winds of time, but also venerable to the elements. But then I also think metal. All are strong, but some flexible, moldable. It can be changed as needs demand. Yes metal can be used for war, but also for protection. So no easy answer. 6y

Mdargusch I am drawn to water so I‘m going with that. It‘s gives life but there is a power behind it too. 6y

Andrea4 @DannyHattan best answer! Slow 👏 6y

Andrea4 @LibrarianRyan if you had to choose between metal and fire, do you have a gut reaction? 6y

Andrea4 @Mdargusch water is lovely! And so mercurial, though really so are all the elements. 6y

LibrarianRyan @Andrea4 I think my gut says metal. Josh says fire. 6y

Andrea4 @LibrarianRyan 🤣👍 6y

DocBrown In the words of Norman Maclean, I am haunted by waters.
