What's on your mind?

Eric kills Ursula, the Dwarves kill the Witch, the Prince kills Maleficient, Iago kills Jafar and so on

they should be in prison or something
I thought the Evil Queen from Snow White tried to knock a boulder at the dwarves, but it backfired and fell to her doom. The dwarves merely chased her, didn't kill her.

As far as the other ones go, Philip totally acted in self defense against Maleficent after she blocked his path, turned into a dragon and started fighting him. I'd say the same for Eric and Iago.

All in all, though, none of these villains were human at the time of their death (maybe besides the Evil Queen, but as I have showed above, she wasn't murdered), so I don't think the justice system can accuse the various suspects in homicide.

Mulan was set in ancient (?) China. Shan Yu was an enemy of the country and caused the deaths of many (plus Mulan protected the emperor). I don't think the justice system of China back then had any punishment for that sort of stuff. Context is important :P

Though every time I watch Mulan, I'm always like "why does no one just stab him with a sword or something?".
Interestingly enough, I'm pretty sure Mulan has the biggest kill count in all the Disney movies.

I didn't watch whatever movie that other character is from so I can't comment on it.

It's from Atlantis. A good movie, but it's very weird :P

And, I didn't realize about that fact of Mulan having the biggest kill of all movies :P

Atlantis is underrated and is indeed weird, but it has the best character ever.

I translated a poem by E. E. Cummings into Sindarin. He's a modernist poet who loves to play with colloquial English's ambiguities and the orthography he uses is very... it reminds me of chatspeek, long before chatspeek was invented. In other words: it was extremely difficult, but I did it!

It was a commission too, so hopefully I'll get paid!

OMM:I think I'm starting to get sick, which is bad since I still have observations to do. Plus "that day" is coming up and I don't want it to be a sucky one. >_>

Urgh, I had to study Plath for Higher English >_< I know the woman was morbidly depressed and her husband was an asshole and I feel sorry for her, but good GODS were her poems dreary and depressing. I remember our English teacher hated teaching her as much as we hated studying her and started bringing cookies into class "so that none of you go home and stick your heads in the oven rather than spend another day analysing Daddy"
