#safe enough: and other stories

[richardarmitagefanpage]

Safe Enough: And Other Stories by Lee Child, narrated by Richard will be released on Audible US/UK and Kobo on August 29, 2024.

Synopsis : I was the guy who always found a way.

I was the guy that couldn't be stopped.

A drug-dealing hit man unburdens his fears to a stranger. An overlooked rookie cop is assigned to the department’s file room. A ruthless killer only kills bad guys. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he’s outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. . .

No spoilers, but Sunrise on the Reaping has some of the most insane lore drops I've ever read and I'm only 7 chapters in.

Suzanne Collins, no one will ever be able to touch you.

To perfectly balance Easter eggs and connecting together four different books from two different periods of time while still making sure the story stands on it's own and delivers its biting and all too real critique of current events?

Bow down to the queen.

Disney, releasing Wish: "so it's all about legacy--the new generation surpassing the old, overcoming the evils perpetuated by them, relinquishing singular power... and there's an old man in a tower, uh... animal sidekick, i guess..., ah... magic...?

Miyazaki, just out of frame, sledgehammer raised:

Oh I am *cackling* at the producers trying to claim the show was driven by Loki and Sylvie's relationship when she refused to lift a finger to help multiple times (while platonic bestie Mobius was living out romcom moments by the dozen with Loki), and honestly they could have not had her in the season at all and barely anything would change. Like, I don't like that ship but it's still SO deeply disrespectful to give them NOTHING on screen all season while giving all the cute classically shippy moments to Lokius, and then come out after and claim it was some grand, sweeping romance and also there was nothing intentional about giving all the shippy stuff to Lokius. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Also, as I said in some tags, the "we can't get into Loki's head" like is just....peek absurdity. My brother in Christ, YOU'RE the writers! This character has been in the MCU for like, 14 years, played by Hiddleston who is *obsessed* with Loki. Getting into Loki's head should have been a cake walk! And even if it wasn't, IT'S LITERALLY YOUR JOB TO GET IN THE CHARACTER'S HEAD. Maybe this is why shows are so shitty? Instead of letting the characters drive the plot by getting into their heads and making choices from that perspective, showrunners instead twist the characters into a storyline.

ANYWAY.

Coda and Ichor! (Catacombtale Style!)

These two don't have a *ton* of interaction in the Main story, but since Ichor and Balance are the only two characters I've fully designed, Coda gets stuck next to him, haha!

BONUS art jumpscare:

These two actually exist in another project I'm working on too called Codex, which is basically just removing the UT aspects of Catacombtale and doing a lot more worldbuilding and character design!

Coda is older in Codex and is marked by an old God (which should get him jailed or killed, as it means for everyone else) but he hides it for years and years before he finally flees the complex he's living in to go confront the gods and stop their destructive path. Meanwhile Ichor is much the same, only he's much more ready and willing to help Coda without much prompting. Here he's also sort of a Koi Fish! (His brother is a Betta Fish)

my pitch for you to read Interior Chinatown if you haven't, it's so good and it's hard to explain how it's part meta narrative and part fictional script and part poetry

Thinking about how one of Vil's favorite things growing up was his little secret base in his old home,,,,

I just woke up and now im having a panic attack because some overfried orange bigotted dictatorial asshole (and a bunch of red elitist capitalistic shitheads) was given too much power and now they’re starting to try and fucking axe literal safe spaces for queer people and minorities on the fucking internet as long as the base of operations are in their fucking country……..

And the thing is its just the start too…

i absolutely cannot write reincarnation au's like its the most tragic thing in the world to me BUT IF I COULD reincarnation au tinimmy would explain why tina keeps following him around across time and space..... bcuz she knows they're bound to be together platonically or romantically and they've had so many failed attempts in past lives. yknow

and it would make sense ANYWAY bcuz tina writes them together in all her different friendfictions they've already been together in many lives real or imagined. and they will always be
