I feel you.

Anna breathes fire about a shitty book

"Let's plunk a plane-full of entitled posh white boys on a deserted island and call it a metaphor for the human condition, completely ignoring the fact that it is a metaphor that relies on the erroneous assumption that everyone else in the world is a posh, entitled white boy coming from the English boarding school system, suckled on a legacy of imperialism, classicism, and misogyny.  I'm so deep.  Self-aggrandizing evangelical English teachers will use Simon as a Christ metaphor and call it a public school education."

Son of a bitch, I hate this book.  I hate what people pretend it represents.  I hate the metaphors.  I hate the message.  I hate the assumption that the boys represent the human condition when half of the human race is female.

Possibly.  Depends on finances and that kind of thing.

I’m on my third day of no work I nEVER WANT TO GO BACK.

YAY I'm glad you've gotten a rest!  Don't go back.  Come to the US.  Angel will hide you and I'll send you Canadian things since I'm closer to the border than you will be.  All the comforts of home.

Would Hoku be quite the same if he didn't have such a large family? Did he ever wish he wasn't an only child or was he fine with it since he had a multitude of cousins? What are some career paths that Hoku has considered/is possibly considering?

Got long again.

Hoku, when he was younger, definitely wished he had siblings. He wanted his father and brothers and sisters and a whole family all his own - and not one he had to share with cousins, but just his. But he’s happy with his family, now. 

Hoku had, for a while, considered professional surfer. And then photographer for a little while. These days he’s thinking more along the lines of accountant - he’s pretty decent at numbers, and they’re easier than people.

o u want some of these too ok. If Mendel hadn't been changed, what would he be doing right about now? How does Idris's past affect her future? How does Dee cope with stress? Where would the boys be, respectively, if Hoku and Xander had never met one another? Does Lady desire humanity? Why or why not?

Idris' past does not effect her - that she knows of. Yet what she is unaware of is her wariness towards strangers, her straight-out denial of accepting drinks from strangers, and her general discomfort around men who seem too charming or ask for her help. The biggest effect she does know about, though, is that she doesn’t know her past - and so she doesn’t know how it’s going to change her future. Or how much of a future she has. 

Dee copes with stress by going out drinking, finding a willing partner, and a hotel room. That, or she gets ink. The only time Dee gets stressed is if she ignores the need to shriek due to an oncoming death, because she doesn’t want to ruin some person’s weekend or something. The more she resists, the more tension she puts on her body, until she finally loses herself and become less-than herself. It’s not pretty, and she’ll do either of the two options she has afterwards to pretend she’s fine when she’s really, truly not. 

Hoku would still be Hoku, with less control of his shift, because it was with the help of the Greens that he learned to control his shift, as they are big cats like him. Xander, meanwhile, would probably be completely lost as a person. His bad habits are only as tame as they are because he has Hoku and Lani and the Hawaiian tribe as a general rule. Without them, he’d be a beautiful disaster. 

If there is one thing Lady does not desire, it is humanity. She watched the humanity of her owners - all of them, from her creators to the Master to the unofficial Gunther and Timothy - slowly destroy those people. She saw how their hopes and fears, loves and hates ate them alive. She does not want to suffer like that. She is meant to help and serve and protect, after all. But because of his she is created, she is gaining her own type of humanity - whether she desires it or not.

Hoku and Xander have been best friends for forever- granted, Xander hasn't always been around due to his parents' profession. However, has there ever been a point where their relationship has been strained? What would it take for either of them to break off their friendship? If Mackenzie ever had the chance to be human again, if only for a few hours or an entire day, would he take it? Why or why not? What are the qualities he admires most in his sire and his siblings?

Mackenzie would probably never again become a human. He sees himself as acceptable only because he’s completely unnatural. When he was a human, he had a lot of Christian guilt and self-hate because of his interest in men, his violence, and his heritage. Now that he’s a vampire, however, he can accept all things that were once viewed as ‘strange’ or ‘unnatural’ about his human life, because he’s the walking dead. Can’t get any weirder than that, right? 

He admires Tahno’s perseverance, Lyron’s collectedness, Quinn’s intelligence, Jamie’s outgoing nature and strength, Elisa’s enthusiasm, and Dom’s inquisitiveness.
