Higher Quality on Youtube:

I’ll probably post some of the individual art here without the credits on it. I’ll definitely be posting them ALL on my art insta ( @ hopesartcastle ) including some sketches and concept art type things.

The Japanese lyrics were from Lauren Horii’s original Youtube video. The rest of the Japanese text was me. And I am by no means fluent so apologies if I made any glaring or horrible mistakes 😆

"The best writing is born of humility, the great stuff comes to life in those agonizing and exhilarating moments when writers become acutely aware of the limitations of their skills for it is then that they strain the hardest to make use of the imperfect tools with which they must work." —Jerry B. Jenkins

[friendly-neighbourhood-librarian]

So one of the reasons I believe fiction is important is that it offers readers access to the same sense of wonder I felt as a child. Another reason is that it helps us connect with others on a deeper level. When we read a novel, we in essence contract, or agree, with the author to temporarily suspend disbelief and enter the world and scenarios he or she has created. We connect with fictitious characters viscerally, empathizing with their struggles and feeling their pain and joy. Fiction has the power to build bridges between people, even those vastly different from one another.

—Jerry B. Jenkins

i’m a bookseller so let’s analyze the books that asoiaf characters would probably be into in my expert opinion

sansa: easy answer, mass-market bodice rippers. true answer, horror. she is a vc andrews girly but she hates stephen king. also she probably read a bunch of colleen hoover at a very formative age and it fucked up her idea of healthy relationships.

jon: manga. i do not know jack or shit about manga but i do know he’d probably like that berserk one or whatever the fuck it’s called. he’s emo. nobody understands him. you get it. so on and so forth.

theon: he doesn’t read but he does go back into the kids department and stick gum in the pages of the i survived books. sometimes if he’s feeling really bold he’ll put his number in between the pages of novels that he thinks are for smart people. his concept of high lit is not very developed so it’s sort of a toss-up as to the books he does this to. they’ve found his number in the brothers karamazov and a taylor jenkins reid novel on the same day.

dany: ya dystopia. you KNOW she would have been so into the maze runner and divergent. somebody let this child have a hunger games phase dear lord.

arya: her idol growing up was junie b jones. she was obsessed with the boxcar children and when she was 7 she tried to run away but to her extreme dismay she couldn’t find a boxcar so she settled for an underpass frequented by various delinquents, vagabonds, etc. they unionized to get her back home and cat didn’t let her outside for a year. immediately after she was ungrounded she ran away again to murder pigeons en masse because she had just read wringer by jerry spinelli and took away the wrong message. now she just reads fencing instructional books. also a warrior cats kid.

Wally Clark's Pre-Exuent Headcanons

He preferred baseball to football. Not that he dreamed of being a pro athlete after graduation. But if you asked him which he'd want to play more, he'd always choose baseball over football. Fewer risks of getting tackled to death...

He learned to drive when he was 10. His grandfather taught him. Mostly to get the kid to focus his energy on something. Wally had a lot of energy. His grandfather would take Wally to work with him on weekends and school breaks. Taught Wally how to fix things and how to operate a tractor mower. He died 4 years after the '83 homecoming game.

One summer, Wally and his bff Jerry worked at the youth center as day camp counselors. Another, he was a bus boy at Donna's mom's restaurant in midtown. Then he worked for the local mechanic, Bud Binns. His last summer alive, Wally worked as a gravedigger in the church cemetery.

Wally wanted to be a mechanic. Wanted to travel across the States and work where he was able. Had the whole thing planned with his buddy Rodney. Post-grad road trip. Wally would make money fixing things when they needed the cash, and Rodney would work as a dishwasher in whatever diner would hire him. It was going to be awesome.

He never applied to college or university. Kept procrastinating. Felt that it wasn't really for him. Besides, if his mama had her way (which she usually did), he'd be scouted and it wouldn't matter anyway, so what was the point?

He lost his virginity to Lisa Jenkins when he was 16. In the back of his dad's pickup at the drive-in. It was embarrassing and awkward and kind of funny and he wouldn't change a thing.

Wally was a B student. He excelled in math and science. Was decent enough in English to understand a metaphor. Was naturally talented in phys-ed. He hated history. He took Spanish and French. He fucking slayed home economics.

In his free time, Wally learned to play guitar (because it was cool) and drums (because it was gnarly) and harmonica (because it annoyed the shit out of Jenny McKinnon and she was cute when she got mad).

He rode his bike everywhere he couldn't drive and drove out of town regularly to check out events in Milwaukee: Bands. Food festivals. Themed discos. Comedy shows.

He had a busy social calendar, but always made time for his grandma, spent time with his mama, and went camping with his dad when the weather was nice.

Wally knew he was going to die before he turned 21.

I wanted to find a website I visited a couple of years ago with lists of character tics for inspiration.

The pages were fairly specific; such as one for eyes, another for hands.The examples were descriptive tags "Her eyes glistened" "His mouth twitched" etc.

The website had a blue theme and the title might've been the author's pen name(NOT Reedsy, Bookbird, Jerry Jenkins. Maybe began with a B)

If you can, please reply or reblog with the answer

What's the series next to divergent (⁠●⁠_⁠_⁠●⁠)

It's the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. I haven't actually read any of it, but I own the first four books (which I do fully intend to read). I actually only learned what they were even about like last month when I had a couple friends over and we discovered a movie by the same name--it apparently had a pretty mediocre/bad adaptation.

The reason I have the first third of a series I didn't recall the premise of was because several years ago on a trip to an event at the zoo, we parked a ways away (I don't remember why), and on the walk there we passed one of those little free libraries. And I, being me, was like wow! Books! I'm going to take all four of those. And so I did

I did read the synopsis at the time, and took them because I was intrigued, but I forgot with time. I'll read them one day I promise 👍

[transfemme-shelterdog]

Timothy Francis LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins have had an insurmountable impact on modern Christianity, and some of you aren't ready to have this conversation.

For those who aren't aware, these two men are the authors of the Left Behind series of books, which has 16 books, 5 movies, and a children's book series, that follows a group of people from the Rapture, onto the end of the Tribulation period, where Jesus comes back for a mighty war to wipe out the forces of Satan.

This book series was arguably the next most popular book, next to the Bible, and still is, for many Christians. Enter any thrift shop, and you're guaranteed to find at least a few of these books in the used books section.

These books are essentially AO3 fan-fiction where the authors took vague symbolism from AD 81–96, and applied it to modern geo-politics, and invented a whole storyline to fit the two author's views on things such as Judaism, Catholicism, the United Nations, Liberal Secularism, and other concepts that are either not in the Bible, or are completely different from our modern understanding of it (Judaism has evolved from the times of Jesus for example).

This book series took what was essentially a fringe view from the 1800s, that's not even held by a lot of denominations today, and made it mainstream and easy to market through average level prose.

So, how has one series that is really only known for shitty Nick Cage films, and books that aren't really seen outside of church libraries affected non-Christians globally?

Well, global warming for example. Many, many, people think that because "Jesus is coming back soon" that we don't need to do anything to prevent the destruction of the world we live in, because it's all going to be gone in a few years anyways, so why should I care?

They often cite the book of Genesis, where God pledges to never kill the world again with water, and by their logic, the ice caps can't be melting because God promised to never flood the world again.

Many policy decisions also center around this, such as global support for Israel by Conservative and Liberal (yes, even Liberals, who are often Christian too) parties, as there's this ongoing belief that one must support Israel, as they're a vital part in "End Time's Prophecy", and that any day now, the Anti-Christ will arise in the Middle East, preform miracles, and be declared the Messiah (falsely), which then starts the war of Gog and Magog, with Russia, Syria, and other countries around the globe partaking in it.

Name any modern shitty policy, and it can be traced back to the concept of the Rapture. Abortion? Anti-Trans/Gay laws? Gun control? All of these have links to Pre-Millennial Dispensationalism.

Some scholars have written on this, such as Bart Ehrman when he wrote the book Armageddon, but I have yet to see any scholar write about the more nitty gritty stuff that you see from pastors and random schmucks on YouTube, that I've seen growing up in a family that believes in this stuff.

Hard to believe that a letter written about a conspiracy theory back ~1950 years ago, is being used to backslide human rights and throw gas on the extinction of life on the planet.

Thanks John Nelson Darby!
