Sorry for the renewed writer's block
8 years ago
General
Sorry that the chapter updates for Size Swap stopped abruptly, but my job of four years was becoming more stressful due to it looking like I was going to lose it because there wasn't enough for us all to do each day. Then I lost it, so yeah. Haven't felt much like writing understandably, I've just been making myself feel better with Futurama and Farming Simulator 2017 and easter chocolate :P Weird combo I know.
Anyway I'm going for a brief holiday over the easter weekend to a beach house with no internet, so I'm hoping that with nothing else to do inspiration will strike and I'll crank out a chapter or two. Cheers guys, have a good holiday!
Oh and hey, settle a bet for me. Let's say in the story, Luvtail had to sacrifice his life in order to save Corrine (or the entire city) from some horrific fate. That would be a noble thing right, that would be something worthy of admiration and praise? Sacrificing the ultimate thing, one's own life, in order to save other peoples? We can all agree that's noble.
But then two days later without any explanation he comes back to life, perfectly healthy, and continues living. That'd cheapen the whole thing right? It would make the sacrifice worthless, because where is the sacrifice if he can just will himself back to life? Can we agree on that?
...So why does Jesus get away it? :P
Food for thought, happy easter :3

As for the resurrection idea, if the person doing it thinks they're making the ultimate sacrifice, that's what counts. The stakes might not be what the protagonist believes they are, but someone who believes they'll be permanently losing their life was still just as heroic if they get rezzed afterward. It's different if they know for certain they'll be back. An immortal character risking their life is just what they're expected to do with their abilities.
As for Jesus specifically, it would come down to whether or not he had the foreknowledge that would come from being an aspect of an all-knowing being, which has me... completely stumped. Hm. I'm sure there's a good work of fiction waiting in that idea...
...Oh right! Also keep in mind that the real world has plenty of people who believe that existence is eternal in one way or another, and that makes their lives more meaningful, not less.
