So I have 3 years to become a world renowned linguist and write a genre-creating triumph of humanity after being shot at by the troops of a German emperor?
Might be a bit difficult..
He'd already written The Hobbit by 45, which was quite successful. So you're already falling behind.
This probably wasn't helpful.
Does the emperor have to be German?
'Fraid so
Eh, why not give him a little leeway. I'm willing to allow for a wannabe emperor too.
Personally I'd prefer a lack of leeway since I'd like an excuse to not try to match the accomplishments of someone extremely accomplished AND I'd prefer to keep my 512 months long streak of not being shot at by American soldiers going 🤷
Inaction doesn't really feel like the solution to that one, if you care what a Canadian thinks of the American ~~hostage~~ political situation
Sure, but you're missing what I'm actually saying: that I don't need the pressure of being expected to be the next Tolkien and in an unrelated twist, I actually don't relish the prospect of being shot at by anyone 🤷
