 Wenn der Mensch ein gesellschaftliches Wesen ist, dann ist auch ein Stück von Elon Musk, Donald ... 
 @5a4c912a Aber auch von Ghandi, dem Papst und Martin Luther King. ☝️ 
Und Elvis. 
 Was für die Praxis auch heißt: hashtags folgen bringt so richtig was eigentlich nur auf größe... 
 @5a4c912a Möglicher Workaround wäre, auf einer großen Instanz den gewünschten Hashtag suchen, z.B. via https://mastodon.social/tags/<hashtag> und dann den Leuten folgen, die diesen Hashtag benutzen. Damit landen dann auch mehr Posts zu diesem Hashtag auf der eigenen Instanz und es haben alle etwas davon. 
 #WritersCoffeeClub 8.9. Did you like to read as a child? Which books did you read?

I read a lot of the Donald Duck paperbacks when I was smaller.

I also devoured the TKKG stories by Stefan Wolf. It was a German junior detective series, remotely comparable to The Three Investigators.

Later I immersed myself in the fantasy worlds of Wolfgang Hohlbein. My first book by him was "Drachenfeuer" (dragon fire). So it's probably no surprise that I'm now writing a dragon fantasy novel myself. 😁

 @d73175df Thank you. :)

Yeah, he has every reason to be pissed. But in fact he has brought this on himself through his own greed and arrogance. I hope he has learned his lesson since then... 
 #WordWeavers 7.9. Why did your villain become a villain?

I wrote a short monologue by Balor here some time ago here as a character study to examine his motives: https://text.tchncs.de/marcr/the-antagonists-monologue

As for <name placeholder>, his main reason was a loss of trust in the dragons, their role as "overseers", and society as a whole. He became fanatical about overthrowing this system and ending the pact between dragons and humans, willingly accepting the dire consequences of doing so. 
 #WritingWonders 13.8. Antagonist POV: How many people are you close with?

Balor: "I don't see how that's any of your business."

Me: "Please, it's for Writing Wonders!"

Balor: "Well, since you insist. There was only one person I would have trusted with my life, the former guardian of the Earth Temple in Run Hathin. However, I'm afraid I don't know what happened to him after the war, as no one can leave or enter that land anymore."

 @5a4c912a Spannende Frage. Ich habe gerade nur die Phillipinen 1986 als möglich passende Antwort gefunden:

Hatte überlegt, of Lybien 2011 mit dem arabischen Frühling auch passen könnte, aber Gaddafis Ermordung war jetzt nicht unbedingt das Ergebnis eines Volksaufstands. 🤔
