Re: Things I've researched for writing
A while back I was in a commercial for a small theatre as a favour to a friend, and my friend goes "yeah I had class with the owner of the theatre a while back, everyone calls him Jacques and I don't know why" and I go "that's 'cause he's got the same real first name as the guy I work with!" Turns out I did a commercial for a theatre that's owned by a friend of my brother. Also, apparently one of my high school friends was in the same commercial without me realising. I know everyone. something something Kevin Bacon.

Kevin Bacon's real name is Jacques?
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

But his friends call him "Jimmy".

Re: Things I've researched for writing
Is it okay if I use my thumb too? I mean, I didn't exactly "grow up" with text messaging since I only got a cell phone about 4 years ago after most of my friends, but, ya know, I'm all thumbs...

Re: Things I've researched for writing
So, I looked up "Bulwark" when I meant to look up "Bulkhead," and I found this picture of what Geneva looked like for a brief period.
It's a spiky city!
Civil disobedience, yo.

Re: Things I've researched for writing
That is indeed a cool image.
I know a lot of random trivia of christian mythology, but not that much about James specifically. I know people who know a lot though if you have questions I could ask them.. Heh, bulwark is a funny word.
Honestly I think I end up using my elbow more than my hand to hit door bells. I'm not sure what wikipedia would make of that.

Look down there in the same article it says: "People without hands are more likely to use their elbows to ring bells."

Re: Things I've researched for writing
Nah, I just need something peculiar about him. Characteristics. Anecdotes. Fun, but personal stuff. He's one of the main characters in my book, and I don't seem to know anything about him.Asherian wrote:I know people who know a lot though if you have questions I could ask them..

Re: Things I've researched for writing
John the lesser is likely the same person as John the Just who is one of Jesus' brothers. That's the closest to anything peculiar I know about him.

Re: Things I've researched for writing
James. And yes, that was as much as I knew. Anyway, if he's such a tabula rasa, people won't mind if I provide him with some interesting characteristics... perhaps a couple of superpowers, if I feel like it. How about the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...

He's the brother of Jesus, he's gotta have some kind of super powers.

How about the power to move you?
