Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

[fromtheseventhhell]

The worst part of the GOT and HOTD adaptations is that they remove any sense of narrative or themes being explored from George's writing. The showrunners rewrite characters and change plotlines on a whim and remove any sense of cohesive storytelling. There's just...literally no point to the story and the writers struggle to come up with sensible explanations for the changes they've decided to make.

upset because every time I see tiktok about j**nsa getting viral/more popular, I think about the possibility of people loving jonarya if only show was more like a books

[witchqueenvisenya]

I think the people saying that daemon being violent in war or a stupid tourney and in defense of rhaenyra's honour means he's a red flag and rhaenyra should have seen it coming when he chokes her and when he further abuses her in season 2 are being really obtuse and are flattening daemon as a character just like these fucking idiot sacks who are writing the script because I hate to break it to you but daemon's violence is only seen as exceptional because he's such a famous figure in life and death. everything about him is sensationalised to the point of irrationality and it is a HUGE failure that the script seems to buy this and in fact cast it in an altogether different light. it's not as if violence and maleness walk hand in hand in asoiaf, right? right?? you all need to buy some of that complexity you stan the greens for <3

I gave in and listened to the full soundtrack to the new great gatsby musical after being goaded by my loving friends and I’ve been launched back into my hyperfixation from last year. The vibes are fantastic and I kinda want to see the show now

That being said it’s painfully obviously that the producers just wanted a “roaring 20s” themed show and the writers skimmed the TGG page on sparknotes and tried to cover it up by putting total broadway powerhouses in the main roles

Nevertheless I’m a Myrtle apologist now sorry

Hi! 😊 Just wanted to ask, how many more requests are in line for the House of the Dragon fandom? Could we get any teasing crumbs for those? 🥺🥺🥺

I'm going to be honest... Half of the recent HOTD I've pulled out of thin air 😭

In honor of S2 I've decided to make a list of characters to write for but I've realized I don't care for half of the men in the show 💀 it feels a lil odd writing for Luke cause he's so smol

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

gratitude list time I'll go first

[garlic-sauc3]

versions of booster gold made by people who obviously dont know much about booster can be so infuriating because they tend to depict him as stupid or as a joke and then people who only know him from these depictions in more popular media have a skewed impression of him

[crossbackpoke-check]

Sat politely ankles crossed hands folded please say you have more thoughts about the DC deweys. Lazarus pit cold-eyed stare pristine and bloodthirsty anyway I would love to hear any further thoughts if you have the time + energy + motivation

how i imagine you waiting for me to re-read the resurrection of ra’s al-ghul and hush vol. 1+2:

ALRIGHT. in no particular order, thoughts about the dc deweys

connor fits very well into the mold of a talia al-ghul for me; chip on his shoulder, femme fatale, deadly and precise. he’s not the loudest but he’s got a dry wit that’ll cut you!

“why is connor an al-ghul at all and not batman” well first of all he’s already got the water connection, i’m gonna go dip him into the lake a couple hours north of the pas to make him incredibly long-lived, rejuvenated and beautiful

second of all i want him to be a questionable villain/antihero because he looks evil in those pictures but like beautiful evil. you see him at a multi-million dollar soirée and he’s bored of being there wearing his “heritage” beads and jewels he originally had from a thousand years ago. he and his assassins are only here to murder the head of state who’s planning to lay a pipeline through ancestral grounds

rip brandon duhaime i simply cannot imagine you as any kind of batman. lacks the gravitas, too much of a yapper, loves his wife too much. i curse thee to be green arrow if you’re in this narrative at all

assuming connor stays with toronto, would LOVE to think about toronto as one of the sites of the lazarus pit for many reasons

(a brief aside here to say that for me personally this is interesting if connor goes to winnipeg because i think they suit him better, he’s a manitoba boy, but re: the chip on his shoulder, he’s NOT a manitoba boy. he’s from the pas and very proud of it)

a) the amount of ‘toronto is the center of the universe’ hockey creation myths i can play with & birth/rebirth/reincarnation. if you WANT to feel unhinged trying to blend hockey and comics is an ice rink not just a pool of water?

b) mr. cathal kelly i love your works!!! toronto eats its young!!! thinking about this very literally in the sense of the resurrection arc where players come to toronto and are sacrificed, give up their body, their skill, in service of the demon’s head, and lose themselves.

c) we see echos of the same narratives and styles over and over again—if i can hop over to the flyers for a second, there is of course the curse of the *8s (18 richards, 28 claude, 48 danny b, 68 nolan, 88 lindros) but ALSO the danny brière -> tk -> morgan frost celly chain. every generation a resurrection, emerging clean and new from the pit

can you just briefly hold my hand and imagine wayne gretzky as an evil ra’s al-ghul wanting to possess a new body. gretzky i’m sorry to malign you and i know you never played in toronto but you are the best player in my head to fit the idea, i’m open to other suggestions

coming BACK to green arrow dewey (i did not re-watch arrow or re-read those comics sorry) connor could also be black canary, who takes a brief dip into the lazarus pit (toronto) before getting married to oliver. i do like that narrative but because we were talking about pristine and cold-blooded i figured connor dewar head of the league of assassins was more what you were after

now that i’ve gotten through world building… choose your own adventure narratives?

hockey-ish au: connor chosen as a host for the Next One. i think the lineage of the great one -> next one -> next next one -> next one up of gretzky -> crosby -> mcdavid -> bedard is taken, BUT i can imagine that the league of old boys all have the same intentions. connor gets sent to toronto unknowingly being prepped to get body-snatched by ???? and brandon duhaime of course accidentally stumbles on the plot and they have to fight to stop it

connor assassinating people :) snapshot of the head of the league of assassins delegating which major world events they’re going to change today. would love his shark face from the gifset to have blood spattered across it, ideally.

version 1 as head of the league of assassins: brandon is one of his assassins, big strong bodyguard type. devoted to him, would lay down his life, perfectly designed for connor (lady shiva/cassandra cain-ish). connor orders for something to be done and brandon does it there for him then gently wipes the blood off his face and apologizes for being careless and getting him messy.

version 2 as head of the league of assassins: an actual plot where connor aims to assassinate SOMEONE but brandon gets in the way. they meet at odds as their respective roles (hero, leader of a crime syndicate) but are magnetically drawn together as their alter egos. eventually brandon puts together the pieces of the Big Evil and manages to (legally!-ish as much as vigilante-ism can be legal) take it down and the ending panels show a tentative friendship and recognition of potential shared goals

also, jaromir jágr is immortal. don’t know if this is relevant OR related but he is. personal hot spring lazarus pit?

um. thanks for coming to my 1.5k ted talk (including tags). what a way to moritz seider lore drop that i DID grow up a comic book nerd, lmao. thank you so much for enabling me <3 i'll be here all week thinking about which teams would get what rings in a blackest night au

[addamvelaryon]

The biggest failure in the show’s writing is the nonexistent relationship between Rhaenyra and Aegon II.

They’re siblings who will be warring against each other and they have not even interacted with each other.

[thesilverlady]

Leaks are so fucking garbage lmao, although I don't believe rumours but judging by the shit s1 was i wouldn't be surprised if all of these leaks turned out to be true💀💀💀 also the show has this weird obsession with Aemond if these rumours are true, they're giving him Aegon's arc lmaoo they're destroying the greens and don't give a shit about team black young cast just for the sake of Aemond lol. Guess they want him to be their milking cow.

yeah, I'm not buying any of the rumors. Do I expect it to be a shitshow? sure. But usually closely-accurate leaks come when the first eps start airing. So I'm not trusting anything I'm reading

The Twitter side of it goes wild of course. Apparently there's a new one that goes 'after the Kingsguard call Rhaenyra "the cruel" during Jaehaerys's, the smallfolk will throw fish and fruits at the carriages carrying the greens and chant "Long live queen Rhaenyra"' and team black folks are cheering as if this suddenly takes away from the fact that we never saw Rhaneyra being beloved by highborns and commons 💀 and team green is having a meltdown over the possibility of Helaena and Alicent having food thrown at them (which is another rumor) because it doesn't fit their "beloved by smallfolk" headcanon that they wholeheartedly believed to be true.

As for the characters, honestly I expect the most attention to be given to Aemond and Daemon because they're the most popular characters by the general audience

[deeplyridiculouslyinlove]

If the WOT books are teaching me anything about myself, it’s that I *despise* a Fated Romance storyline. The nonconsensual vibes in the female characters’ POV chapters are just really not it for me.

I can’t decide if I want this to pay off in some way later so that it has to be part of the story and I just have to live with it, or if it being that important to the final story will make it worse…

[moonmoonthecrabking]

i want to write many things. many many things. in all of them, i would like a minimum of two bi characters, and in one of them i want all characters to be bi.

neither is common in media, so i guess it means i have to make it myself, even if it's just for me.

[misterbrekker]

I've just been posting on my main because it's kinda hard to keep up with sideblogs now but I will say I loved season 2

[jerichogender]

i’m slowly clawing my way through green arrow (2001). we’ll see if i still have the will to live when i’m finished
