Every day I see someone complaining about the new live action adaptation of their favorite books. I see complaints about missing side characters and location or changes in the exact words they say. Every complaint is about missing minor details that don't change the theme or ending of the story. Even when it is an excellent portrayal of the book these people will find something to complain about.

I recommend two things to those people. First, look up the meaning of the word adaptation. And second,respectfully,SHUT THE HELL UP YOU UNGRATEFUL HEATHENS

If you bother to watch an older adaptations of books you will see they had zero input from the author or anyone who truly understood the source material. I have seem movies so far from the book they're based on that it's unrecognizable. I mean that literally. Everything from the main characters to how it ends would be completely changed until it didn't even look like a fanfic. I'm talking about absolutely disappointing disaster film. And the series where far worse. With each season more of the story was lost.

I know it's still not perfect and it probably never will be. Stories always change with retellings and thats all this is. But it is so much better now. I know I'm being dramatic but I'm also not exaggerating. If you don't believe it go read and watch for yourselves.

I swear to god one of these days were going to see a video of Amaury Guichon and he's going to be making some wings and they are going to look dope as hell, the detail of each feather will be breathtaking, he'll spray paint them to perfection, but as the video goes on, he's not building any sort of winged creature, just the wings. And then there's a human-sized harness (also made of chocolate, somehow, he can do it). And he's attaching the wings to the harness. And he's putting the harness on and he demonstrates how he can flap the wings. And then he'll be off. Out the window and up and up and up. And we'll be looking at the livestream (it's a livestream now) and we'll scream "No, Amaury, the sun! It's going to melt the wings!". But he knows this already. And he is free.

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

Me, on the welcome desk in the library: Good morning, how are you today?

Customer: I have welcomed Jesus into my heart and so I am well today and every day.

Me, a little unnerved: Okay then! Is there something I can help you with?

Customer, digging around in his bag and pulling out an iPhone in a box: Unfortunately, Jesus can't help me with this fucking phone, so I came to the library.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
