stripes13 pretty much, since I don't think anyone else cares about my crack crossover thing that I will probably never actually write. That's okay! I just like to talk about things. Anyway, today I want to talk about The Amber Spyglass. I had a very strange and not altogether good day for many reasons, but one of those reasons was that I read the end of The Amber Spyglass just before going to class where I knew I would be expected to speak articulately about it (yes, I have a class about His Dark Materials--it's about Paradise Lost and Philip Pullman and other "visions and revisions of the Fall" which is perfect for me because I love Paradise Lost and His Dark Materials). Anyway, er, got a bit off track there. So as some of you may recall, I once wrote a post about how The Amber Spyglass makes me cry. This morning I was actually holding it together pretty well and I thought I might make it through--but alas, I soon found myself hunched over my kitchen table, sobbing and wiping away tears with a napkin. And hoping that none of my housemates came in because I didn't want to explain why I was crying. Also I had to pull myself together before I got to class.
But anyway, the point of this is that I just read the end of His Dark Materials and Book III has a perfect record for making me cry only this time I was applying it to Lee and Kara too. And I'm about to reproduce the relevant section below, so ( spoilers for the end of His Dark Materials, obviously )
Bonus: here's something I wrote in my class notes today. It amuses me, and perhaps it will amuse you too. Lyra vs. Will and doing what they're told--if Lyra trusts you, she'll do anything for you, jump a raider back to Caprica or assassinate her CO, but Will will (ha) only ever follow himself. Or Lyra. No one else. He'll mutiny at inappropriate times but he'll always have her back. (okay, I didn't write that last sentence but I was totally thinking it)
