#wren's aminations

[demonicchicken1121]

This Day Aria Dsaf animation progress. The bit at the end looks kinda goofy and unfinished, probably because it is goofy and unfinished. I’m trying to animate the whole song, but if I don’t, it’s because Jack ran off and snorted all my brain cells so it’s not my fault.

I think recovering whumpees with pets is vastly underrated. Whumpee with their emotional support animal. Whumpee taking better care of themselves because they have another little life to look after now. Whumpees with service dogs. Whumpees with guard dogs to keep them safe from whumper. Whumpees deserve a little pet. As a treat!

[rwbyazre]

Are you able to make a list of all Faunus you have in the story?

That’s a big list given just how big the percentage of the cast are Faunus, but yeah I can do that:

Vale

Adam Taurus - He’s a bull, with bull horns as his trait. He also carries the ear gene from Cerise, but that doesn’t show.

Zanthus Nemeós - He’s a lion, with ears, tail, claws and slit pupils as his traits. Though he’s specifically a lion Faunus, he does have slit pupils from Sable, which can be because of genetic mutations in Faunus that can cause traits from two different Faunus to show in one child. 

Ruri Kashima - She’s a catfish, with ear fins, gills and scales as her traits. Another innate ability connected to her Faunus heritage is that she has the ability to feel vibrations through her body better than anyone else, as she has a lateral line. She’s also one of the few who’s Faunus trait actually causes a disability, her ear fins grew too much while in utero so she has no ear canals like other people and was born deaf. 

Eirian Esna - She’s mixed, but she’s does actually carry the ear gene through Safou into Icheku, but because the ear genes are recessive, she doesn’t show them. Horns are dominent, but Eirian just didn’t inherit Icheku’s.

Blake Belladonna - She’s actually a black leopard, not a domestic cat, same as Ghira. Her traits are her ears, canines, claws and slit pupils. 

Sun Wukong - He’s a monkey, with his tail and canines as his traits. 

Kaseya Tabi - She’s a tiger, with her ears and morphed tiger legs as her traits. Having complete limbs being replaced with animalistic traits is extremely rare, since Faunus mostly have their ears and teeth changed to match their heritage. 

Bruno Rex - He’s a German Shepherd, with ears and canines as his traits. 

Xanthe Nemeós - He’s a lion like Zanthus and Argenta, with his ears, tail and claws being his traits. 

Vacuo

Eliana Kokkinos - She’s a viper, with scales and slit pupils as her traits. 

Niccolo Olivero de Vale - He’s a Rottweiler, with ears as his trait. His eyebrows are also naturally dot shaped too.

Ankhesenamun - She’s an African wolf, with ears as her trait. 

Sable Leib - She’s a wildcat, with ears, slit pupils, claws and a tail as her traits. Unlike Zanthus and Argenta, Sable’s slit pupils are not a result of mutation because wildcats naturally have slit pupils. 

Carmine Escalados - She’s also a viper, with scales, slit pupils and fangs as her traits. 

Teumessian - She’s a fox, with a tail and ears as her traits. 

Mistral

Jin Tong - She’s a lionness, with a tail and claws as her traits.

Hisui Kashima - He’s a catfish, like Ruri, with ear fins, scales and gills as his traits. Unlike Ruri, Hisui’s fins are along the rim of his ear, rather than replacing them fully, so he is not deaf. 

Shinju Kashima - She’s a calico, with ears, slit pupils, canines, claws and a tail as her traits. 

Seigyoku Kashima - She’s a calico, like Shinju, with ears, slit pupils, canines, claws and a tail as her traits. 

Ha-Yun Xochitl - She’s an axolotl, with her gills replacing her ears, so she’s actually deaf like Ruri is. 

Atlas

Marrow Amin - He’s a husky, with ears, canines and a tail as his traits. 

Neon Katt - She’s a cat, with a tail, claws, canines and slit pupils as her traits.

Lavender Anu - They’re a horse, with ears as their trait. 

Vionn Heilu - He’s a reindeer, with antlers as his trait. The fact that he keeps them all year round is funny cause he’s trans.

Rhiannon O’Gormain - She’s a highland cow, with curved horns and ears as her traits. 

Robyn Hill - She’s a fox, with a tail as her trait. Yes, she knows robins are birds, no she doesn’t find it funny to be a fox named after a bird. 

Wren Hill - Wren is actually mixed like Eirian, and doesn’t show any visible traits like her mother. She can however still see in the dark, so she has a tapem lucidem whereas Eirian doesn’t even have that. 

Velvet Scarlatina - She’s a rabbit, with her long ears as her trait.

Jack Bree - Same as Wren, Jack is mixed with Harriet, who is human, and her former partner Giang, who is a snow leopard. Jack has a tail and slit pupils as his traits. 

Lou Lantana - He’s an orangutan, with black scalera and canines as his traits.

Yuki Nihonsaru - She’s a Japanese Macaque, with pointed human ears, black scalera and canines as her traits. 

Argenta Amaryllis - She’s a lion Faunus like Zanthus, and has the same traits and mutation as he does. 

Qiu Amaryllis - He’s a red panda, with ears, eye stripes and tail as his traits.

Alon - He’s a bull, like Adam, and so has the curved horns as his trait.

Cerise Taurus - She’s a cow, and has ears as her trait. 

Menagerie

Ghira Belladonna - He’s a black leopard like Blake, with ears, slit pupils and claws as his traits. 

Hajimu Belladonna - She’s a wolf, with ears as her trait. 

Icheku Zulu - He’s a ram, with horizontal pupils and ram horns as his traits.

Safou Esna - She’s an ewe, with horizontal pupils and ears as her traits. 

Keahi and Kuluua - Both of them are Pueo, or Hawaiian owls, with wings as their traits. 

Evernight

Emerald Sustrai - She’s an asp, with scales as her trait.

Tyrian Callows - They’re a scorpion, with a stinger as their trait. 

Giang Meo - He’s a snow leopard, with slit pupils, claws and a tail as his traits. 

The White Fang

Sienna Khan - She’s a tiger, with ears, claws and her stripes as her traits. Her stripes aren’t tattoos in AZRE, they were there naturally. 

Kaanchana Naga - She’s a boa, with black scalera, scales, and fangs as her traits. She also has the ability to unhinge her jaw, which is considered rare even for other snake Faunus, but the scars on her mouth were obviously inflicted and are not one of her traits. 

Banesaw - He’s a bear, with claws and canines as his traits. 

Iya Dhawan - She’s a kite, with wings as her trait. 

Ilia Amitola - She’s a chameleon, with her scales as her trait. She also can change the colour of her eyes and scales to coincide with her mood, that isn’t her Semblance. Her Semblance is she can stick to walls.

And that’s all the important Faunus in AZRE at the moment. There’s obviously more with the next generation, but I won’t put them in this ask for now!

[yakumtsaki]

It’s another beautiful night at Union Manor and Maxx beats up Abbey while D’vorah watches TV in front of the couch she destroyed, man, pets are the best.

Shajar is skilling like crazy and banned from doing anything else, because a) I can just see Wyatt’s pathetic career trajectory repeating itself b) if he and Jojo die before Shaj and Don top their careers we’re once again gonna have to go out and make friends for their promotions, like when goddamn Komei died the day Wyatt was gonna get promoted and took all his friends with him. 

I had a hard enough time with the friend-making last gen and Wyatt and Jojo were a lot more socially competent than this group of assholes. 

Case in point, this is what Shajar does when practicing ‘charisma’ in the mirror. Are you charmed yet??

Meanwhile, no longer content to just set men’s hearts alight, Cyneswith has taken to starting fires in the kitchen. I’m still mad at Sophie for getting knocked up ahead of schedule but good Lord, when you look at everyone else in this house it’s like who even cares.

-I don’t like following recipes, I wanna follow my culinary instincts instead!!🌸 

Ya I’m literally not even letting you in the general kitchen area until you have 5 cooking points so get cracking.

-This is boring!!!💗

Can I maybe interest you in cheating on Don? 

-Always, huhu!🌸

We go to our beloved karaoke place and meet this iconically dressed downtownie, whose name I do remember for once, it’s Wren! Just look at his style, FINALLY a proper lover for Cyn.

-So strangers are always coming up to me on the street, asking, ‘Wren, how can I become as cool and stylish as you?’ -Strangers come up to you on the street but they already know your name?💗 -Baby, everyone on the street knows my name.. ;) -Wow, huhu!🌸 -Just one of the many advantages of having as many DUIs as I do, word gets around to keep the streets clear when I’m driving!

-I love him!!!💗💗💗

Ya he’s a dreambot..

..he’s also dumped us to go hit on this chick, is this goddamn Christy from the pet asylum?? Ugh.

-I’ll just make him jealous by chatting up Amin!🌸 Wren: Man, that’s the stuff, if I’m not eating cereal in a club I’m just not living.

Ok Wren I’ve had enough of your shit, time to win your love with the most powerful aphrodisiac known to man: a drunken karaoke duet. Frances will you gtfo pls? Why must you be on every lot we’re at.

Somehow inviting Wren to karaoke was all it took for him to get a crush on Cyn, damn girl! Amanda is HORRIFIED by this visage. 

-FOR GOD’S SAKE, SHE IS A MARRIED WOMAN

Didn’t you hook up with Victoria??

-That was different, she was married to *Komei*!

Well Cyn is married to *Don* who is about 100 times worse. But ya I guess unlike Komei he’s been fAiThFuL, ugh. Whatever!!

Honestly these two look unironically great together, their lewks really complement each other. I love Wren’s pink scarf!

FINALLY. Mary Gavigan is INTO it-

-but Cyn is not. Why are you rolling wants for stupid Malcolm who’s not even here, we got his love, we’re done with him!

-Malcolm is special! He’s been with my grandma, it makes me feel in touch with my ancestors!💗

Kill me.

Well Wren is stinking so it’s time to call this a night-

-especially because of all the karaoke joints in all the towns in all the world, the slob walks into this one. After the Jake Do debacle I legit live in perma fear of Cyn getting caught on a date by a different lover. Time to return to the safety of our home..

..and find Jake Do there. WTF. WHY ARE YOU HERE, FREAK

-DON’T LOOK AT ME!!!! 

YA IT’S KINDA HARD NOT TO. Aren’t you still furious with Cyn for ‘cheating’ on you???

-STOP IT. DON’T ACKNOWLEDGE ME. I’M NOT HERE.

-I’M NOT HERE I’M NOT HERE I’M NOT HERE!!!!!!!

BRO. It’s a shame Jake is a face 1 and thus not marriage-able because he’s truly the most criminally insane townie I’ve ever encountered (if you don’t remember the deal with him we met him in this update)

Like legit, he ran into the house, stood there creepily doing nothing, and then ran out. I’d also like to point out that he was never in actual love with Cyn, all he had on her was a CRUSH since their hot tub adventures were interrupted by his oppressive maitre d’ mother.

After spending an eon in the attic lab, Jojo finally got the golden robo badge, it’s servo time!

-Jòjò, hâve toi bèèn méssing avec mon tràin modèle?? -Yes Wyatt, absolutely, during my lifelong quest to create conscious life out of matter, I took a break to mess with your model train. -Je knèw it!!!

It’s an amazing day, Shajar maxes the two remaining skills she needs to top the politics career thanks to this chance card..

..the kits grow up and they’re ADORB, black eyes is Ferra and yellow eyes is Torr..

..AND WE HAVE DOUBLE PROMOTIONS. HELL YA. Maybe you two aren’t such hopeless losers after all. Also Shajar as a judge, LMAO

I can’t stress enough to you guys the degree to which Wyatt does fuck all around here, so now that Sophie is prego I’ve delegated the dog bathing to him to take some of the pet burden off her-

-especially since her pregnancy bump was so intense it momentarily turned her into a brachiosaurus. Ok Soph, the pet careers can wait, just take it easy these days, alright??

-Like hell I will! And this kid is gonna be named Sophie Junior, regardless the gender! And if we have more, they’ll also be named Sophie Junior! 

So many cool Spanish names and you want to name the poor kid SOPHIE JUNIOR.

-YES.

Not happening!

-Then I’m not giving birth!! Do you have any idea how much control I have over my muscles??? I’ll keep that thing in there till it’s 30!!!

Just go relax and we’ll talk about it later!!!

-HA, KNOCKED UP LOSER! Couldn’t win the conception game, can’t win this one either!!

SHAJAR!!!! WILL YOU JUST. GOD. You get one promotion and you think you’re hot shit.

-She’s right, I am a knocked up loser :(

You’re not a loser!!!! Everyone else in this family is a loser!!!!! Shajar literally, I will fucking murder you, stop upsetting your hormonal wife. MORON

Cyn also pops and she is SHOCKED. Probably shocked that the kid is Don’s, I am too, Cyn!

Donaldo is at work so we invite Wren over to make him fall in love with us and never see him again, huhu!

Cyn finally busts out the voodoo doll Jojo got on vacation, I’ve never tried this thing before and man, it. is. AWESOME. Both Cyn and I are so excited that our our way to 20 lovers became easier, I’m like ah what a great day~ but unbeknownst to us, we are about to experience the Mary Sue/Daniel scripted event all on our own:  

So fucking Don gets demoted the exact second Cyn and Wren fall in love and the GODDAMN VOODOO DOLL has an instant make out interaction-

-AKA DON LITERALLY SEES THEM AS HE’S DRIVING BY. I CAN’T

FUUUUUUUUCK

FUCK.

Wren: Oh hi, Don!

FEEL THE FUCKING ROOM PAVEMENT, WREN

We send Wren home pronto, and at this point I remember that Cyn has unlocked the ‘smooth talk�� aspiration benefit, which like the voodoo doll, I have never used before. And much like the voodoo doll, it turns out it’s OP AF:

My expectations of this thing were non-existent, so basically she just gave him a rose, he accepted it-

-he got this red glow with little hearts, I’m like ok so that means per the description that he’s not furious anymore, at least that’s something-

-but no, this shit full on restores the relationship to pre-cheating levels!!!! I’m sure everyone else knows about it but I was SHOOK. That’s it Cyn, between this and the voodoo doll there’s no stopping us!!!

-Huhu!!!🌸

ICONIC. It’s literally like it never happened, best reward ever!!!

Both Wyatt and Jojo dislike Don immensely and never interact with him, so I thought it was so cute when Wyatt autonomously did their school cheer with him..

..but it turned out he just wanted to shittalk him to Sophie! Poor cucked Don :(  I don’t know how I’m STILL constantly surprised by what a bunch of bitches this family is.

-You have trod the arduous paths of excellence~

Tell me about it.

The Star Wars Rebels Mid-Season Trailer And The Top Ten Reveals.

New Post has been published on https://www.starwarspost.com/star-wars-rebels-mid-season-trailer-top-ten-reveals/

The Star Wars Rebels Mid-Season Trailer And The Top Ten Reveals.

Last year during the fun at Star Wars Celebration Europe, Lucasfilm Executive Producer Dave Filoni sat down with Andi Guterrez of “The Star Wars Show” for a brief interview before he took to the stage for the big Star Wars Rebels season three reveal. In that brief conversation, Dave made a comment with a fair bit of sincerity and gusto that always stayed with me. With the first day of Celebration out of the way, letting everyone a teensy bit down without the release of a trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Dave came in with a different refreshing point of view about his trailer for Star Wars Rebels.

“We are going to give a lot away (panel), because we want people to tune in….you go to a panel and they hold on like they are not going to show a trailer and they wan’t everyone to go “ohhh”; and then they are like just kidding and show a trailer. Like is that a surprise anymore? Of course, you are going to see a trailer of Star Wars Rebels Season three and a really good one… There is probably someone in programming who is saying “Why would Filoni be giving that away?” Because it’s not a giveaway. It would be a major disappointment if we didn’t, right? So, I mean common, let’s show it”.

In grand fashion, Dave Filoni and the talented crew at Lucasfilm released another mid-season trailer for Star Wars Rebels. This one is chock full of goodies for the second half of a great season of Star Wars Rebels. The first semester have made significant strides in character development; story arc’s, and a welcoming tie-in’s to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The intensity of this animation show is building like an early M. Knight Shamalan film, minus the trees trying to kill you. The show has firmly hit it’s stride and is delivering well rounded stories and just plain great Star Wars.

Here are the ten things we picked up here at the Post, that should raise an eyebrow or two.

#10  The Tie Defender Cometh!

Lucasfilm Executive Pablo Hidalgo mentioned it during the Star Wars Rebels Recon show and there it is, in all its splendor – The Tie Defender made famous back during my college days playing Star Wars: Tie Fighter on my trusty Packard Bell DX2. This superweapon is what Thrawn is banking his strategy on with a faster fighter draped in powerful shields and the ability to go into hyperspace.

  #9 Mysterious Battle Droid and Zeb Thrown Down.

This tall and lanky mysterious Battle Droid (trust me we asked the brain trust on Twitter and he doesn’t look familiar). Takes on Zeb and Chopper in what looks to be a Road House brawl. Not exactly sure what this new Battle Droid is about but his design is great. Something about tall, slimmed down Droids that just look menacing as hell.

    #8 Mystery Planet with Rings.

This shot of this planet is fascinating as the only world that we have seen with rings has been La’Mu. The agrarian planet in the opening of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, being the refuge of Galen Erso and his family.  If I am correct, this would be the second planet we have seen in this franchise with rings present and therefore a new world.

    #7 Death Troopers Aren’t Just For Director Krennic.

In a surprising and welcoming image in today’s trailer was the reveal of the Death Troopers made famous in the franchise’s first spin-off film. In the Catalyst: A Rogue One Story novel, we did get the impression that the Death Troopers were hand picked Stormtroopers for Director Krennic as his bodyguards. Whether or not these guys are them are left to be seen.

    #6 The Return Of Saw Gerrera.

During the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Lucasfilm announced that the famed character first seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars would be returning to the animation side of the house in Star Wars Rebels. Saw will also be voiced by Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker and his Idi Amin-esk portrayal of this rebel extremist.

    #5 The Debut Of Mon Mothma.

She made a big splash in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and fans of Rebels are even happier to see the calm, steady hand of Mon Montha on the small screen. The animation of her is fantastic and if my ears are correct it is none other than Actress Genevieve O’Reilly.

    #4 That’s No Hattori Hanzo Sword.

Dave Filoni mentioned that Rebels would be investing heavily in Sabine’s story arc this season and so far they haven’t dissapointed. With the fight against Rau and his protectors and the now the Dark Saber in the hands of Clan Wren of House Vizsla, things are about to get downright tribal on Mandalore.

     #3 Battle above Jedha?

The great thing about this franchise is we have a reasonable number of planets to remember. In this screencap, we see Rebellion ships attacked above what looks to be the planet Jedha or Korriban. Given that Saw Gerrera is now in Rebels, could we also be heading back to the cold deserts of Jedha? If it is Korriban (which maybe a stretch), it will have some significant impact on our story as it has been known as the graveyard of the Sith Lords.

  #2 Malice At The Edge Of The Dune Sea.

If only Tatooine would rhyme I would have a whitty title to market this fight of the ages, like the “Thrilla in Chandrilla”. The match of the century is upon us, finally Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi settle things once and for all time. At least let’s hope they do.

     #1 The Return Of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

With Maul seeking the answers he wanted from the Sith Holocron, and the match of the century ready to take place on the Dune Sea, older Obi-Wan Kenobi just glows in this Rebels mid-season trailer. Voiced by none other than Stephen Stanton (Rebels Tarkin and Rogue One’s Admiral Raddus). This will be the penultimate point of Rebels Season three and the most deliberate thread that connects the Rebels tapestry to that of the Episodic films. The animation and look of the character are stunning and by the looks of things, those robes will flow like Vader’s cape. Incredible work done on the part of Dave Filoni and talented artists at Lucasfilm.

  The new trailer just makes you feel like jelly inside for what’s in store for our heroes. There are really big moments here that deserve our attention and grattitude. Enjoy the trailer everyone.

[proofhead]

Bundan birkaç sene önce, taa şu yazımda ilk kitabını aldığım ve bir yıl sonra şu yazımda da ikinci kitabını aldığım güzide seri “Yürüyen Kentler” nihayet bitti. Bu kadar uzun sürmesinin sebebi tamamen benim ama. Kitapların bir suçu yok.

Evet, daha önceki yazıları okumayanlar için çok kısacık seriden bahsetmek istiyorum. Daha sonra her bir kitap hakkında küçük yorumlar yapacağım.

Yürüyen Kentler serisi, günümüzden yüzlerce yıl sonrasında, distopik bir gelecekte yaşananları anlatıyor. Dünya’da sabit yerleşimler kalmamış, artık kentler devasa motorlara sahipler ve yürüyorlar!

İlk kitap “Yürüyen Kentler” adını taşıyor. Bu kitapta, yürüyen kentlerin en ihtişamlılarından olan Londra kentinde bir tarihçi çırağı, Tom Natsworthy kendi küçük dünyasında mutlu mesut yaşıyor. Dünya’ya ne olmuş da kentler artık yürümeye başlamışlar? Bu sorunun cevabını sayfalar ilerledikçe öğreniyorsunuz. Eklemeyi unuttum. Bu kentler sadece yürümüyorlar. Üstelik bir birlerini de avlıyorlar! Evet, daha güçlü kentler daha zayıf olanları avlayarak kaynak ve iş gücü elde ediyor. Tom, basit bir çırak olduğu için, büyük resmi göremiyor, olaylar gelişiyor ve kendini bir anda o çok güvendiği, doğup büyüdüğü Londra‘dan sonsuz bir bataklığın içine düşmüş halde buluyor ama yalnız değil. Yanında suratındaki kocaman bir yara iziyle ilk bakışta çok korkunç görünen Hester Shaw isimli kız da var. Londra, Dünya’da hala var olan bir avuç “sabit yerleşim yanlısı ve mobillik karşıtı” orduyu yok etmek için esrarengiz bir proje geliştirmiştir ve acaba işin sonucu ne olacaktır? İlk kitap bittiğinde Londra’nın neler yaptığını görüyoruz.

İkinci kitap İhanet Altını‘nda, Tom ve Hester, üçkağıtçı bir adamla tanışıyorlar; Profesör Pennroyal. Bu herif gidip görmediği yerleri sanki gitmiş görmüş gibi anlatan, kitaplar yazan, sahte bir şöhretin keyfini süren bir üçkağıtçı. Bu arada bizim ikili de bir hava gemisi alıyorlar ve artık gökyüzünde takılmaya başlıyorlar. Böyle gide gide Arkangel isimli bir mobil kente rastlıyorlar. Bu kentin tek bir amacı var: Eski Amerika’ya ulaşmak. Orada tüm bu gürültü ve patırtıdan uzak yaşamak. Ancak bu kentin sahibi olan hatunla bizim Tom “epey” iyi anlaşınca, Hester acayip kıskanıyor. Neden? Çünkü Tom’a deli gibi aşık. İşte serinin olmazsa olmaz aşk hikayesi de bu kitapta alevleniyor. Velhasıl kelam, olanlar oluyor ama kitabın sonunda asıl bombayı Hester patlatıyor. Hem de iki kere. Bir sonraki kitapta ekibin sayısının artacağını anlıyoruz.

Hava Gemisi Jenny Hanniver

Üçüncü Cehennem Makinleri‘nde, aradan 18 sene geçmiştir. Hester bir önceki kitapta hamile kalmıştır ve bir kızları olmuştur: Wren. Ahh Wren ah. Wren yaşadıkları hayattan inanılmaz sıkılmıştır. Bir gün, annesiyle babasının eski bir arkadaşlarının eski arkadaşlarıyla karşılaşır ve bir takım talihsizlikler sonucunda yaşadıkları yerden kaçırılır. İşte üçüncü kitap boyunca Tom ve Hester kızlarını ararlar. Ama bulabilirler mi?

Dördüncü ve son kitap “Karanlık Düzlük” adını taşıyor. Bu kitap, en uzun kitap. Üçüncü kitap en kısa sürede okuduğum kitaptı, dolayısıyla bunu okumaya hemen başladım. Büyük bir kısmını yollarda okuyarak bitirdim. Bu kitapta olaylar epey kontrolden çıkıyor. Olay örgüsünün en geniş olduğu kitap bu. Hester ve Tom, Hester’in acımasız karakteri yüzünden kavga ederler. Hester, yanına taa ilk kitaptan beridir tanıdığı ve adına “İz Sürücü” denen bir makine-adamı alarak uzaklaşır. Tom da kızıyla birlikte tamamen şans eseri, yıllar önce terk ettiği ve yok olduğunu düşündüğü memleketi Londra’nın enkazına gelir. Burada inanılmaz bir sürpriz onları bekliyordur. Kitabın sonunu inanılmaz hüzünlü bitiyor. Şok üstüne şok yaşadım.

Seride yaşanan olayların tamamını anlatmıyorum. Okumanızı tavsiye ediyorum çünkü. Bunun için bir geçerli sebebim var: Çünkü Peter Jackson bu seriyi filme çekecek! Evet, haberler şurada ve şurada. Eğer haberler doğruysa çekimler şu anda Yeni Zelanda‘da başlamış olmalı. Filmleri Peter Jackson çekeceği ve muhtemelen kendinden de epey bir şeyler katacağı için, “kitabı okuyan” izleyici avantajını elde etmeniz için hala vaktiniz var. Dört kitaplık seriden kaç film çıkartır bilmiyorum. Ancak yürüyen devasa kentleri nasıl tasarlayacaklar, hava gemileri nasıl olacak düşündükçe heyecanlanıyorum.

Serinin en büyük hadikapı, kitapların kapakları ve yazar Philip Reeve’in kişisel sitesinde yer alan birkaç görsel dışında, sözcüklerle tasvir edilen bu dünyaya ilişkin hiç bir görsel tasvir bulunmayışıdır. Dolayısıyla Peter Jackson’ın ilk filmde can vereceği karakterlerle düşüneceğim öykünün geriye kalanını. Filmin IMDB sayfası şurada yer alıyor.

İlk filmin 2018’de vizyona gireceği yazıyor ama kesin midir bilemem. IMDB’de filme ait olduğunu düşündüğümüz şu iki görsel de yayımlanmış. Bunlar büyük oranda, daha önce yayımlanan çizimlerden uyarlanmış gibi görünüyor.

Yine, IMDB sayfasında bazı karakterleri kimlerin canlandıracağı da açıklanmış. Çok büyük ihtimalle bir değişiklik olmayacak ve Tom Natsworthy’i Robert Sheehan; Hester

Hera Hilmar (Hester)

Robert Sheehan (Tom)

Shaw’ı da İzlandalı akranım Hera Hilmar canlandıracak. Özellikle Hera Hilmar çok dikkat çekici. Zira kitaptaki tasviriyle Hester’ın, suratındaki korkunç yaraya rağmen muhteşem hatlara sahip bir kadın olduğunu anlıyoruz. Eh sinema sektörü, baş rollerden birini çirkin bir kadına vermeyi göze alamayacağı için muhtemelen, Hera Hilmar’ın suratındaki yara izi çirkinden çok “karizmatik” görünecek. Henüz çok az rol için isimler açıklanmış ancak benim merakla beklediğim iki karakter var: İz Sürücü Shrike ve Profesör Pennroyal. Bir de, üçüncü kitapta karşımıza çıkacak olan, kızıl saçlı güzel Wren. Çok küçük bir ekleme, Elrond’umuz ve Ajan Smith’imiz, muhteşem Hugo Weaving de seride rol alacak. Ama hangi rolde henüz belli değil. Bana göre, Thaddeus Valentine rolünde oynacak ki bu adam inanılmaz kilit bir rolde ve bunun da kızı çok güzel.

İnternette bazı kitap yorumları izledim. Kitabı ve seriyi çok sıkıcı bulduklarını, nasıl ödül aldığına şaşırdıklarından falan bahsediyor “yorumcu” arkadaşlar. Kitabın aldığı ödüller, kurgusunun yaratıcılığı ve olayların bir birini tamamlaması esnasındaki akıcılıktan dolayı verilmiştir. Kendi adıma ben çok beğendim. Seriyi çok beğendiğim için de Türkiye’de yayımlanmış tüm baskıları toparladım.

Kitabı Türkiye’de ilk defa Günışığı Kitaplığı basmış. Yurt dışındaki baskılarda da kullanılan kapak görselleriyle serinin ilk iki kitabı basılmış. Hatta ilk kitap galiba dört baskı yapmış. Daha sonra Günışığı Kitaplığı, özellikle 15 yaş üzeri okuyucular için On8 isimli bir marka oluşturmuş ve tüm seriyi bu isimle yeniden basmış. On8’den basılan dört kitabın tamamında da dünya kullanılan kapaklardan farklı kapaklar kullanılıyor. Ben seriye ilave olarak, hem orijinal kitap ayraçlarını hem de ilk iki kitabın prova kapaklarını da aldım. Yan yana düzünce şöyle güzel bir tablo oluyor:

Evet, heyecanlı bekleyiş başladı. Öyle görünüyor ki sevgili okur, bu blogda artık daha da fazla Yürüyen Kentler okuyacaksın. Umarım Peter Jackson, çok iyi bir iş çıkarır ve bizi steampunk’a doyurur. Amin.

Yürüyen Kentler Serisi Filme Çekiliyor! Bundan birkaç sene önce, taa şu yazımda ilk kitabını aldığım ve bir yıl sonra şu yazımda da…

Amin was tired after working a full day, and he hated having homework. This was a bad day, too. Working in a fairly small hospital, it meant that you knew your patients. It just made it worse when they passed aways.

The knock on the door should have been expected. It has become a habit for Wren to come over and exchange daily happenings. But Amin forgot all about that, and took his time walking groggily to the door, forgetting where he was.

When he opened the door, he was relieved to see her friendly face. One of the few he knew in this town. The bag rattled in Wren's hands, and he could already guess-timate how much sugar was in there.

"Come in, Santa Claus," he joked. Then he backtracked. "No alcohol in there, right?"

        knocking on the door of her friend’s apartment, she rocked back on her feet. it had been a long week, according to his text messages and for some reason wren couldn’t find it in her to disagree. she stifled a yawn as she knocked again, a bag of snacks hanging loosely from her wrist. “amin, come on. open up, please.” she laid her forehead against the door. the network was overworking her – again. she couldn’t complain. the steady flow of work made it easier to get through the day. not many lulls. 

      the door opened and she took a step back with a smile on her face. she held up the snacks. “i come bearing gifts. you busy?” she raised an eyebrows as she jangled the bag at him in an attempt to make it more enticing.
