When people ask me what the themes are in my books, I just tell them to read the books and decide what they think the story is about. That way, there’s no wrong answer and I get a lot of interpretations 
I chose to share those ones because they’re my favourites

Sounds like an interactive story, though it is not.
Gosh, I don’t think I stated it right. Oopsie for that!
LOL!

- The Vikings and ancient Greeks would agree.
- The gods have everything in abundance, so what’s the point?
- Have you seen the film Demolition Man?
- So its all false advertising. Damn.
- Check out the connections between the European rulers (royalty) during World War One.
- Once a Marine, always a Marine.
- If you must do this damn silly thing, please do not do it in this damn silly way ~ Sir Humphrey, Yes Minister.

If anyone ever concluded that this life was the happy ever after, it’s only because they don’t go to the end of that life. Either you die before all that makes you happy and make THEM grieve, or you outlive them, and have to make do without what makes it a HEA.
It’s the biggest reason why even a huge chunk of atheists (Buddhist, for example) believe in an afterlife because this being the end all really sucks.

Random though. Maybe something about the Druze community in Israel. I know almost nothing about them, but they seem interesting. The Druze are considered by many Jewish-Israelis to be ideal Israeli citizens (and extended family). And Israel’s Bedouin community are another option. Anyway, that would be a project far into the future.

Thanks for understanding.
Sometimes I wonder if I make as much sense as I think I do while typing online.

Ooh la la!
Focusing on everyday people breezing through their daily lives consisting with their struggles and more, huh?
Which war is happening at the moment? An invasion of land? Civil war? Rebel forces? Border control? Something else entirely?
What is a famous legend in your own that people get tired of hearing? LOL!
For some parts, yeah…
None at this time, but it is coming, Temulkar is moving his pieces across Arillion and hoping to lower moral of all kingdoms.
That one day the Dwarves of Greyridge will emerge and take back the lands to the West, and become a mighty kingdom once more. Even surpassing that of Mundhlor. Yeah, folk are a bit sick of that… It’s been Thirteen Thousand Years in the telling, since Temulkars first war against the Dwarves and Mundhlor fell.

I have no idea 
I think it’s good to have a theme, but I also feel like theme hinders writing, at least for me as a pantser. I have been told by many authors that a theme isn’t something authors find or figure out, but something that readers figure out. There might even be themes that you, the author, don’t notice.
I used to be worried about themes in my stories, but now I don’t think about them at all. It’s less stressful, too 
I already have to figure out plot holes and how to be immersive and when to show backstory. I don’t wanna think about the theme of my story, too 
What I do think about is the various messages that I personally feel like my story conveys, and making sure that those messages are shown throughout the plot.
So, like, Pinti’s story is about learning to trust someone after being betrayed and learning that relying on others isn’t a weakness but a strength, Cypur’s story is about learning to love yourself even with your flaws and learning what it really means to have someone you can rely on as a friend, and Kaiver’s story is that having vulnerability and showing that is not a weakness, but a strength.
Those are the messages.

This is basically just Dragonball though…Most of these are things that happen in Dragonball

Interesting. I never thought of it like that.
Normally, I don’t even think about themes, hell I don’t even think about subplots neither. I just plot/plan a bit then write the chapters.
I guess I am thinking about these things as a way of trying to taking my writing seriously, since I have a career in mind.

Eh. I don’t watch Dragonball. Besides, it’s not uncommon for stories to have similar if not identical themes to other forms of media

If you also happen have a god of destruction that shares his name with an alcoholic drink and has a love for food and sleeping, I may doubt that.

I know nothing about alcohol outside of cooking wine so I think we’re safe. My ultimate destruction deity loves adventure, pulling pranks, and generally being a dick
