World is testing me today istg. When I’m ready to get footage for my film project, big gusts of wind come by and screw everything up. When I’m trying to fix everything, the wind ceases to exist. Why?

I will never tire of saying that Steve Kloves is a born Ron Weasley hater. It's just a deleted scene and if I don't add it for real it's because I'm sure someone must have said to him; "Hey man, don't you think you've already ridiculed and bashed the Ron Weasley character so much in all the movies, making up scenes, stealing Ron's lines to give to others.

And JKR who supposedly has a strong character let a screenwriter do whatever he wants.

I will never understand JKR, making a character that is one of the main characters but never knew how to love and protect on the big screen or giving interviews. Writers are jealous of the characters they create, but she completely abandoned him during all the filming of HP.

I think a lot of people conflate superheroes as a whole to specifically Batman when it comes to the importance of a life. It makes sense, supers are meant to be put on pedestals and represent what we should all aspire to be. But it's weird when this gets applied to Spidey.

Just like everything else with Peter, he is a regular guy. Other superheros represent what we should aspire to be, but Spidey represents what we can be. He cares for every life. He hopes to give everybody a second chance. But if someone asks for it, Pete will beat their fucking skull in.

When his cop/detective friend Jean DeWolff was murdered, he hunted the man down and physically fought his way past Daredevil to kill the guy and ended up beating him within an inch of his life. When Kingpin got May shot, Peter broke into his prison, effortlessly beat him to a smear, and then promised that when May died, not if, he'd come back and finish the job- violently. There are just countless instances of him deciding "I'm actually going to kill him now totally" with Norman. Most notably of course is the glider incident, which Peter didn't actually go to with the intent to kill (weirdly enough despite Gobby killing his fiance). However, he took pleasure in beating him senseless and wasn't exactly broken up by the final thud.

Peter's a guy who meets every situation with the intent to help someone. He tries to find every opportunity to help another person, even someone who's trying to kill him, even if it's at his own detriment. He's not a perfect manifestation of morals and purity. He's just some guy. Some guy who cares a whole lot for people. And that makes it all the more special when he does help someone. When he talks a girl off a roof, or inspires a kid to be better than the system set him up for, or befriends his own rogues. It all feels so much more personal. This is just a person, one of us. Someone who fails more often than not, who makes bad jokes and gets angry and feels hate and love and pain all at once and most of all, someone who tries his best no matter what.

i turned off notifs for that post i made asking for the tea but ty to everyone filling me in on delicious yt drama lmao. anyway here's a list of my fav video essayists/creators on youtube that james somerton wishes he could compare himself to:

kaz rowe

mina le

captainmidnight

karolina zebrowska

khadija mbowe

bernadette banner

thomas flight

the queer kiwi

moderngurlz

amandamaryanna

tasting history with max miller

broey deschanel

alexander avila

their topics range from pure academia/fashion/art/food/film/popular culture so there's a good mix! some of them have a more sarcastic, playful approach as well, bc i like a good balance lol. all of these creators are passionate about what they talk about and actually do real research! they cite their sources properly and typically dont approach topics with a singular perspective. if they're not conducting their own research first hand, i know a few of them have proper research assistants! wild!

Failing with Momentum

                Last time we talked about antagonists so this time we’re talking about conflict. Sometimes I think writers are afraid to allow their characters to fail. Trust me, there’s a big difference between characters making poor decisions that seemed good in the moment (or failing), and being the protagonists in slasher horror movies. Your characters can be a bit stupid, and fail often, without ruining your plot or characterization.

1. Fail Forward

                One way we do this is by allowing them to fail forward. This means that your plot actually relies on their failure, rather than just on their successes. They get totally rejected for the school dance, but that leaves them out in the hall to witness something they weren’t meant to see. They get caught sneaking around in the bad guy’s lair, but now they know their accomplice is actually on the other side.

                This takes reworking of your entire plot, so consider while crafting your outline how a failure can get the character to where they need to be rather than a success.

2. Everything comes with consequences

Another way to allow your character to fail is to not reveal that they’ve failed right away. Most decisions we (and characters) make aren’t so black and white—right or wrong. It shouldn’t be obvious right away when a character has done something stupid—we reveal that it was stupid later on, when consequences come back to haunt them.

So another way to say “let your characters fail” is just “let your characters face consequences.” Maybe a decision isn’t necessary stupid, or ‘bad’. Maybe it allows them to achieve something they really needed to. However, it should also come with unintended consequences—a negative to the positive.

3. Failing is a chance to show their strengths

When something (usually caused by the antagonist) stands in their way, it’s just another chance for them to demonstrate what they’re strong at. Say the antagonist kills the person who has all the answers before the protagonist gets to talk to them, now they have to pivot—maybe they dig up the information through research, or find someone related to talk to, or reach out via medium to the spirit realm, whatever.

This pivoting is the kind of challenge that allows your character to grow. Their path isn’t a straight-shot, easy romp through a meadow but one filled with twists and disappointments and frustrations and challenges. They are forced to do things they maybe never would have, and this leads to them thinking about themselves or their worlds differently.

What other ways are there to fail forward?

A few things I loved about Transformers One (major spoilers)

- At least half the background extras were actual canon characters within Transformers media, instead of just randomized generic bots.

- Shockwave being genuinely afraid of Elita

- Chromia handing Blurr his ass during that race

- “A-A Tron”

- Steve Buscemi Starscream

- Orion’s awkward flirting towards Elita that did not land whatsoever at all

- Best Transformers movie by far. This is probably the first TF movie I’ve seen that actually beats out Bumblebee and the 1986 movie.

- “Orion, will you please exit the cave of death?”

-“Go-Bot” is an insult

- “She punched me in my eye!”

- Orion telling Megatron to “don’t be a glitch” (it’s PG-13 so he can’t say the actual word)

- Orion is just… so pretty oh my lord.

- I NEED more animated TF movies oh my god. The animation in this was so fucking good.
