Unholy = against his purpose as a priest. Frollo asks for forgiveness for the one sin that would undermine his identity as a priest more than anything else. And he asks for forgiveness from the father of his order (his boss, also his spiritual parent). The line is very dramatic and actually makes Frollo more of a tragic villain than your typical bad guy. Frollo is not evil for no reason. He is a man torn by the one sin he cannot bring under his control. His plea for forgiveness is a testament to the awareness of his evil that makes him even more feared.

The trigger phrase in 'His Secret Obsession' is 'I miss you.' It might sound simple, but the book explains how these three words tap into deep emotional triggers for men. When used strategically, it creates a sense of longing and importance, making him realize your value. The author breaks down why this works—men are wired to chase what they can't have, and this phrase subtly reminds them of your absence without being needy. It's not about manipulation; it's about understanding male psychology. The book gives examples of how to use it naturally in texts or conversations, like after a fun date or during brief separations, to keep the spark alive.

The main problem with the read is that it’s been mis-sold as a high-octane, epic fantasy adventure with a seriously dark and powerful artifact in the mix for 80% of it. In the last 20% it transitions completely to a serious, dark, psychological exploration of a person’s complete and utter obsession with something and it’s been so well written that, had it been sold as that, I think a lot of people’s disappointment could have been alleviated. As it is, a lot of readers have felt ‘bailed on’ by the switch in tone and type of story.

The pancreas is the core of this story. The story explores the issue of mortality by looking into the topic of symbolic cannibalism. By devouring a part of a person who has died, can we eventually defeat death by having that person’s remains get digested by us and become a part of us? As Sakura cuts up her pancreas and feeds it to her friend, she is creating her own unique form of communion. She is the victim and the priest, providing her friend with spiritual sustenance and change. Her title announces this strange, sacred act as the core of her work.

'Tender Wings of Desire' was originally intended to be a trilogy but the book was selling so poorly that the publisher put the kibosh on any further sequels. As it is, the book is supposed to be complete but there are several dangling storylines, most notably the mysterious fate of the vampire’s sire. And then there’s the ending. The transformation of the human protagonist to a vampire is executed in what can only be described as hasty fashion in order to give the book a sense of closure as it stands currently.
Fan wikis for the novel (including the author’s emails from several years ago) back up my claims about Tender Wings. Although it has recently been marketed as a standalone novel, there is certainly a lot of festering potential for more. The novel would greatly benefit from a reader of the properly planned out Eternal Nocturne five book series. The gradual escalation found in that series is exactly what the novel needs.

I sometimes wonder if we are expecting too much from characters who are less than perfect in novels. Do they have to be redeemed of their flaws? Can’t they just be as they are: complicated, morally ambiguous characters who do good and bad things and are therefore not likable in equal measure? The demand for a neat redemption arc of flawed characters can create an unrealistic moral situation and reduce complex human nature to an unfair binary between good and evil. In reality, life is not a story. Some people are a mixture of good and bad and their value does not reside in their having turned into saints by the end of the novel. They can remain as they are and the reader can follow them on their journey of growth to learning to live with themselves the way they are.

This sounds like ‘Wife Lit’ a sub-genre of fiction that focuses on stories told from the wife’s perspective in troubled or unsatisfactory marriages. It is akin to ‘Chick Lit’ in that the married woman seeks to find herself, and go back to her pursuits which she put on hold when she married, to find her strength and grow up. While there may be a romance element to the story the main focus will be on whether the two can have a new and equal relationship or not. ‘Wife Lit’ is a fiction genre that focuses on the married woman’s journey of self-discovery within the confines of her current committed relationship or after she has left it.

This question is somehow related to my anime club days in college. So, an “uncensored version” of this would probably just be the entire thing without all of the steam or lightly placed beam shots that were censored in the normal TV version of this. This has been released in an uncensored form on some of the uncensored Blu-rays for this series that have been released in Japan, and it is available on streaming in the uncensored form on a few different streaming services, such as HiDive. From what I understand, though, HiDive’s selection of anime changes somewhat from time to time, so this series may not be available on HiDive forever. Anyway, the uncensored version of this is somewhat different from the censored version. First of all, there is more fan service in the uncensored version. But also, some of the magic circles and some of the other visual effects are more detailed. As for the overall experience of watching this in uncensored form, the best way to put it would be to say that this series is a show that is ABOUT its premise. And so, watching it in uncensored form really feels like you are experiencing the show as it was MEANT to be experienced – that is, in a somewhat chaotic, unconventional, and slightly bizarre form. (Diablo’s inner monologues, for example, are awkward enough on their own, but they are also awkward in ways that are compounded by and made worse by by the increasingly visually complicated and chaotic nature of the scenes in which they appear.) It’s a very specific kind of “experience”, but if you’re asking this question then you probably have some sense already of what I’m talking about.

Both Sun Yi and Zhao Zhiwei masterfully use the silence between them to convey history and longing. While their large argument scenes are impressive, many of the wordless moments between the two actors are even more effective, full of shared looks and awkward averted glances and physical tension. This type of screen acting is at an advanced level and not often this foregrounded in genre films. What is not said is as important as what is, and Sun Yi and Zhao Zhiwei have successfully encoded the history of their two characters into these moments of quiet.

I recently went on a deep dive to find 'Confessions' (2010) because I wanted to rewatch its hauntingly beautiful cinematography and gripping storyline. From what I found, it’s not as widely available on major streaming platforms like Netflix or Hulu, but you might have better luck with niche services specializing in Asian cinema. I remember watching it on a platform called 'Hi-YAH!' a while back, though availability can vary by region. If you’re into physical media, the Blu-ray is a solid option—it’s worth owning for the film’s stunning visuals alone. Alternatively, some digital rental services like Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV might have it for a small fee. Just keep an eye out for regional restrictions, as Japanese films sometimes have limited international distribution.
