#Chosen Elements

[quasi-normalcy]

The problem with adapting the "Foundation" novels was always going to be that Hollywood runs on individual heroism, whereas the thesis of the books is that history is primarily a deterministic, collective phenomenon. Having now watched the first season of David Goyer's version of the story, I would say that he's having some difficulty squaring that particular circle.

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....

Oh yes he would!

One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014

GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017

In fact he already has ☺️

I've been really into atla lately so now i wanna hear everyones headcanons about what type of benders the RVB characters are

[sexiestwerewolf]

I'm trying to think of the ninja as the mane six in MLP and what elements fit them bets but tbh honesty and generosity don't really fit in as major character attributes for any of them so I'd probably change those two and it would be like:

lloyd: magic

Kai: loyalty

Jay: laughter

Zane: kindness

Cole: protection

nya: growth

happy storyteller saturday! what are your favourite pieces of worldbuilding for the prophet story? also, how's my man cain doing? :3c

Hi! Happy STS yeah! Sunday starts with an S too. Hmmm!!! I quite like. How there’s. No certain answers for parts of the world, actually? So like. The gods have been [killed? Imprisoned?] in stone, and nobody is sure why for centuries. Then we find out the Blight did it to them, and insists they’re dead. But at the same time, it puts significant effort into tracking the statues down and smashing them. Why do that for things that are already dead you silly little infection!!! And obviously, we have a prophet born and a hero made within the story, so the gods can’t truly be dead right now, their divinity is still being assigned!!!! So I guess. The soft world building! There are answers. But not for everything. (Mostly because the focus of the story is on the brothers, and neither of them hugely care for these answers).

Speaking of which!!! Cain is fine and dandy :)

See? Just peachy!

people have been saying that john is a millenial all this time because he's like 30 or 40 or something but the fact of the matter is that even pre-resurrection tlt is set in the future. how do we know he isn't a zoomer. how do we know he isn't gen alpha

I’m just happy to know no Disney/Disney adjacent films won for the sole fact they are Disney/Disney adjacent

Congrats to The Boy and the Heron on the Oscar win, still proud of each movie that ended up nominated in the section

The Elementals in the territory Deidre grew up in usually don't respond violently to things bc that's their Hearers' job. Deidre found the Garlean scouts bc 'something felt off'. E-sumi-yan nearly gets shot by Mihko. If animal populations are wrong their pet mortals take care of it. Who needs to waste the energy on a greenwrath when you've got little guys who love you 💅

OC patron saint tag

thank you @lamortwrites for the tag !!

tagging @sybaritick @immren ,, anyone who sees this who would enjoy doing this toooo 💖 if you've already been tagged umm no you weren't

did this for my firbolg bg3 durge, Taune! (and added an ingame pic for those who have not seen her <3)

quiz link: what is your oc the patron saint of?

Taune: patron saint of relics

patron saint of remembering. patron saint of holding something close. patron saint of holding on for too long. for a saint, a relic is often a part of the body, kept for some physical memento of their holiness. they are all in your hands, now: does it feel like remembrance? does it feel sanctified? are the dust and blood as precious as they're supposed to be?
