Mr. Riordan, it is truly a pleasure getting to experience your second draft.
#seriously tho what an amazing thing for an author#to get to revisit your series years later#and get to make all the tweaks now that you know exactly where the story is going#to go back with your theme crystalized in your head and say 'ok now this time on purpose!'#kiddo and I are enjoying the PJO series immensely#love demigods#wish adhd was real#now excuse me while I add 9 billion tags#percy jackson#pjo tv show#pjo#rick riordan#percy jackson and the olympians#disney+#pjo series#percy jackson tv show#does this need to be tagged as a spoiler? I don't feel like it does#the suggested hashtag being spelled wrong is just *chefs kiss*#love that for us#anyway if this needs another tag tell me

there are so many amazing and powerful benders in atla but what i love about zuko is that whether or not he can use his bending in that moment has zero (0) bearing on how much he’s going to absolutely kick your ass. no bending? that’s fine - he’s got swords. no swords or bending? that’s fine - he’s literally just going to beat you up. if you’re REALLY unlucky then you get all three. as a treat.
#like he’s surrounded by these amazing benders.#azula who’s a prodigy#the literal avatar#katara who mastered water bending in like -3 days#(literally iconic of her tbh)#and zuko IS a great firebender (his abilities as a firebender improve as his story progresses)#but it just absolutely cracks me up when i remember zuko will just. not use his bending sometimes#anyway zuko alone fight was special bc he really said i will use all three bc ur special 🤭#ch: zuko#avatar the last airbender#avatar: the last airbender#atla#hattie talks#where’s that post that’s like zuko is a prodigy but his special skill is breaking and entering and he can’t tell anyone about that

can't express accurately how happy it makes me that c.s. lewis did not leave room for many interpretations in narnia. it's christian and you can't get around it. susan chose to care more about worldly things than what matters and he said what he said. the lion is Jesus. evil is evil and good is good and people have to choose. and that makes some readers angry because it's nearly impossible to ignore and they want to ignore it. they want it to be something else and they can't make it something else without making it not narnia. love that. that is doing it right
#that's. how. it. should. be#if there's room for interpretation in your writing as a christian you are doing it wrong#if people read your work and get to pick and choose what it means and you left it OPEN to interpretation-#-and they can divorce your fantasy world from the truth? you are doing it wrong#looking at you john ronald reuel#readers you're upset because susan cares more about “nylons and lipstick” than Aslan? 1. that's not really what lewis said#2. you should be upset because she made the wrong decision#and if you're upset because you can't get around the christianity in narnia let me share something with you - that's the point#it's a christian series#it's telling you christian things. this is not lord of the rings. this is not Cool Fantasy World open to interpretation#you can't worship the fantasy world and ignore the christian truths#you can't separate the two. that's what it should be#that's what all christian writing should be#if you write something amazing and centuries later people host parades for your fictional world and there's no God in it? no truth?#wrong. you did it wrong. they should not be able to separate the two - unless the point of your writing was to write a cool story#congratulations you wrote a cool story. but did it point people to the truth? unavoidably? no? then what a waste of freaking time#what a waste of a beautiful God-given talent#okay I got off on a tangent#my point is: be upset because Narnia is Christian and you can't get around that with ease#I am so. glad. you can't get around that with ease#this is why Lewis is my favorite author in the root of me#he did it right. this is what we as christian authors should aspire to#not LOTR. Narnia. NARNIA.#christianity#narnia#the chronicles of narnia#thoughts in the tags#doverstar's thoughts#writing#authors

No one’s talking about it yet, but the instrumentals were god tier this saga.
Jorge’s crafted a musical where the instrumentals are just as integral to the storytelling as the vocals. He, over the course of the musical, got us accustomed to the specific instruments and motifs of each character. He did it so meticulously and so well that even those who didn’t watch his behind the scenes explaining the importance of each could pick it up.
And it all came to head in this saga. Not only did we get to hear these instruments and motifs, not only did we get to hear them playing and merging together, we got to hear them converge and make new melodies together. Fuck- we got to hear them hesitantly greeting each other before figuring out how to dance together.
The result was a huge emotional release- one that’s been building since the Troy saga. I was so overcome by the music- things I recognized- that I kept finding myself getting up, turning, lying back down, and getting up again.
This is one of my favorite musicals of all time.
Bravo, Jorge. Bravo, cast of Epic. Simply, bravo.
#epic the musical#epic#epic the ithaca saga#ithaca saga#epic spoilers#ithaca saga spoilers#epic the musical spoilers#during Odysseus I heard the ruthlessness motif and cried#heard legendary motif and cried#being able to tell a story through instrumentals is such a gift and talent#I am amazed#I am gobsmacked#I am on life support

I often see people asking "is the idea I have unique and interesting?" and I think the most important thing is — is it unique to you, is it interesting to you? does it make you happy? does it bring you comfort? is it inspired by things you love and cherish? if so, that's the only thing that really matters because it doesn’t have to be good for the whole world, it has to be good for you. so create, tell stories, inspire, be grateful for other creators and respect their work and if what you do has a part of who you are in it then it will always be unique.
and just look at you! you created something with your own mind, the ideas came out of you and you put it on paper with whatever skill and experience you have at the moment and it will only become better with time and practice! you made it! cherish it!
#to be human is to tell stories#and create#further thoughts on ai generated things#I support human artists and creators#I will always be amazed by your creativity#never stop creating#and be human#cause computers will not do it for you#text

Oh my fucking god. Ok so we all know that Eda's curse is a metaphor for disability. And in the end Belos tried to use his "disability" as an excuse to his actions and EVEN COMPARES HIMSELF TO EDA. This perfectly shows explanation vs excuse. Eda never uses her curse as a excuse for her actions, holds herself accountable and tries to do good things, while Belos uses his curse as a scapegoat for his terrible actions even thought NONE OF HIS ACTIONS EVEN HAS TO DO WITH HIS CURSE!!!

I'm sick of love songs and breakup songs and partying songs.
More albums should be telling an entire fantasy book's worth of a story.
I want a knight going to war returning and falling in love with a witch they that helps them with the nightmares.
I want eldritch monsters driving people to madness or killing people in alleys.
Robot cowboys finding the meaning of life
Does anybody have any cool suggestions??

Luffy this Dressrosa really is ; if I had a nickel for every time I ran into an undercover princess of an oppressed country who was kind to me and my crew and so I repay her by freeing her father and fighting the Warlord of the sea that snuck into her country, ingratiated himself to the people and plotted the down fall of the previous royal family by turning their people against them, and in the process liberating her people and putting an end to the specific method that had been used to unknowingly torture them. And oh also meet up with my brother in the process who helps me escape from the marines. I’d only have two nickels but it’s weird that it happened twice
#I know Doffy walked up to crocodile and told him#so you just gonna steal my whole flow word for word bar for bar?#and crocodile would have to be restrained to keep from killing him#but kudos to Oda for being able to tell such similar stories while keeping both fairly interesting#alabasta is objectively one of the best arcs in one piece#and while I won’t say Dressrosa itself is nearly as good the individual pieces of it are amazing#like Laws back story Doffy’s back story and Doffy himself the toy thing was genius#but I think the main fuifferencebus that Dressrosa is more introductory while Alabasta is the end of something#but yeah but great arcs#one piece#throwing thoughts to the void#the strawhats#strawhat pirates#straw hat luffy#monkey d. luffy#luffy#sir crocodile#donquixote doflamingo#nefertari vivi#rebecca one piece#one piece funny#one piece meme#meme

actually so sick how they made steph into a martyr for everything wrong with gotham when she lived her whole life trying to prove that she was everything right
#im forever thinking about how her autopsy was leaked on live tv. and how babs used her photos to dissuade misfit from picking up a costume#stephanie brown#robin#batgirl#im so conflicted over how her death and rebirth were handled actually. like on one hand i find it so amazing and cool how she came back and#jumped right back into crime fighting no doubts or fear. on the other hearing that my ravaged and tortured body was paraded around as a#symbol for what was wrong with the world and what not to do about it would make me snap. like the babs-misfit thing makes me unreasonably#angry HAHAH they had no right!!!! no right to use her like that when they wouldnt even accept her in life!!!!!!#people are gonna be like 'oh she didnt actually die and it wasnt /her/ body' that's not the point!!!! it's the idea of it!!!!!#even in death! she's just used to say 'it (she) wasn't enough'!!#it drives me insane. insane!!! war crimes is objectively a HORRIBLE story but the concept of this in particular will never leave my brain#i would kill for her to have responded to babs saying that she showed misfit her autopsy photos with 'oh? did you tell her about the teen#pregnancy too?'#freya talks comics
