Sexuality Headcannons, cuz why not?

Serafina — someone call *NSYNC because both this girl and her boyfriend are bi, bi, bi

Braeden — as stated above I think he’s bi, but I also think he’s demisexual

Waysa — also part of the bi-con squad

Rowena — omnisexual (is she also omniscient? She certainly wants you to think so!)

Jess — lesbian

Essie — pan

Willa — aro/ace

Adelaide | Awill — the only straight one, lol

If y’ll want, I can do a second post about my gender headcannons?

I’m finally done w the line up!

[scarred-serafina-fan]

Willa TV Project – Robert Beatty Books

I was avoiding posting about this until I saw something a little more official but it's a whole page on his official website so I guess that's as official as it gets

But basically they are finally adapting his books to the screen the company that he is teamed up is surprisingly entertainment one not disney who owns the rights also it's just willa that's being adapted not serafina for reasons I'm not very clear on

Anyways this whole thing is just odd even beyond the whole serafina is not being adapted they're straight cutting to book four of the series and disney doesn't seem to have much if anything to do with it

For a little context in the south within a certain vicinity of ashville (like reaching into other states) the serafina series was marketed HARD everyone knew about it and was supporting it this whole tv show deal tho has been very quiet I've only really seen rumblings of it from the far corners of the internet

They also said in that link above filming locations are not determined yet and this is just me speculating but it does not sound like they are planning on filming it in the smoky mountains again odd that whole area is pretty popular for film projects even hunger games filmed in the Appalachian Mountains so I hope they're gonna film there but idk again I haven't heard ANYTHING

But finally I want to talk about the group that's making it Entertainment One with Amy Adam's Bond Group Entertainment

Entertainment One is kinda interesting when I started looking into them they have things like Peppa Pig dungeons and dragons and insidious they apparently started as a music distributing company that made the switch to movie distribution a few years later and in 2016 a British tv broadcaster ITV plc offered to buy them out for $1.3 bill which they rejected because it was "fundamentally undervalued" the whole time they are pretty much acquiring different other smaller companies left and right and they have a large investment in Quibi I guess? But in mid 2019 Hasbro brought announced that they were apparently acquiring Entertainment one for $4 bill (according to Wikipedia) when hasbro obtained them tho it seems they started making plenty of cuts like laying 10% of it's film and television staff (again number is from Wikipedia) and many branches of the company were straight up closed and by 2022 has brought announced they were planning on selling the company to lionsgate but by the time deal closed last December Entertainment one had already closed its distributing branches in most countries including England and lionsgate bought their assets for $500 mill so safe to say is a dying company that probably won't even last long enough for this project to happen (they were also split into three different separate companies)

Amy Adam's Bond Group Entertainment on the other hand is interesting in a different way according to deadline the company will work mostly with best selling book ip yeah "WILL" seems like this company has not done a whole lot yet the company was only even first launched in 2019 deadline also lists off willa of the wood as one of the things they have in development yeah the show that has basically no buzz is named as one of the biggest things they have in development the company has also very obvious been relying on the name of Amy Adam's so far I mean there's a whole paragraph about her specifically in link to Robert beattys website above

Idk just seems like they have these two companies one that's standing on its last leg and another that's just starting and they're starting halfway through the series it's just odd I'm not letting my hopes up yet because honestly I'll just be happy if it ever even comes out I first heard about this thing a WHILE ago and it's been pretty quite so who knows

Yayyyy!!!!!

YIPPEEEE FINALLY THESE LOOK SO PRETTY!!

Round 1

As Willa overheard the two day-folk men talking about whether the earth was flat or round, she shook her head. They were both wrong. The world was neither flat nor round. It was *mountains*.

Joost had two problems: the moon and his mustache.

-Six of Crows, Leigh Bardugo

Everything had gone horribly wrong. None of Safiya fon Hasstrel’s hastily laid plans for this holdup were unfolding as they ought.

*whistles and cheers from the audience*

Serafina and Willa would be best friends if they actually interacted. Like, I know Willa saw Serafina in Willa of the Wood, and Serafina saw Willa, but imagine if they actually interacted?? Like, I can just see them becoming best friends.

[emeraldlabyrinth]

I have finished it! my only regret is not doing so sooner. Willa reminds me of my dearest friend. Willa is a wild-child so daring and willful, full of life and hope.

Admittedly I was a turned off by descriptions of her personality. For people at times mistake being bratty or being a little punk for being something more than they are.

No need to fear though she's a good girl. You can tell the author has put a lot of thought and work into this story and has put effort into knowing what he is talking about, having enough experience and knowledge to make the story believable.

This book is exactly what a YA should be an inspirational book that nourishes good morals, reminding you of whats most important.

As a side note this novel is romance free.

Willa of the Wood: live Za reactions

going to be documenting my reactions as I read Willa of the Woods so my friends (and future self) can see it! OBV THERE WILL BE SPOILERS

[aroyalpaininthecass]

I am halfway through the Willa series now and, it's good... certainly imaginative and well written.

But it just doesn't grab my attention like the Serafina one did. I'm trying to put my finger on why. Probably because Willa is almost completely on her own for most of the plot, where Serafina has to call on the close relationships (or could call on them, Willa doesn't even seem to have that option) to help. Whether physically, emotionally, cognitively, or all those things, she was strong on her own of course but she was even stronger with those she called on.

Willa has a much lonelier life in comparison, and her story really doesn't have the charming warmth of the Serafina's.
