Great idea for the set of lists :) I think "Othello" would be a great addition (tbh it only came to my mind because I saw "Hamlet" on your Sloth list, and came to check if Othello was here)
Ooo yes good idea! I think my mini task should be to put one Shakespeare tragedy on every list. Richard III for pride maybe? Macbeth could be wrath or greed. Romeo and Juliet for lust of course.
Making me realise I love this theme in a story! 🤩💚
HELL YEAH!! It's like a jealous moodboard!
It might be a bit on the nose, but Throne of the Fallen is about Envy personified as a Prince of Hell and the magic in his entire domain is fueled by his subjects' envious actions.
Ooo that sounds really interesting, added!
Awesome, thank you! 🙏 you have some really cool list topics curated, I'm interested in almost every single one!
Are you going to make a list for every deadly sin? đź‘€
Thank you, thats so kind of you to say! That's the plan, but I haven't decided which one to do yet.
That's so exciting! I imagine it's a fairly big undertaking, but I patiently await the rest because that's such a cool concept
