1) Mostly because fictional implies not real.

2) B: Your “house” was a deathtrap of wards and enchantments designed to capture and harm intruders while practicing dangerous experiments, possibly on dangerous animals- I never asked because I didn’t want to know. I specifically warned you not to reactivate any of those traps after I left, but knowing your adventurous, defiant ways, there’s no way you complied. So if I told you where you live, instead of being stabbed you’d be dead. You’re welcome.

3) Only in that it’s original connotation referred to those who had lost their virginity before marriage as without purpose in formal romantic affairs, regardless of how it happened. But this was also before the full physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual damage of rape was known. That the phrase’s use today is often associated with other, less horrific things is the result of melodrama and the dulling of society into a numb and uncaring state.

4) A fantastic composition. But to be honest, not on board with the choir boy. I liked this version better. And the Nightwish version the most. A matured voice does incredible things to the piece. Plus, it’s folk metal!

Edit: Oh! And yes I can roll my Rs!
