Whoopsy. @xonos-darkgrate
A dreamer who believes in the impossible...and dragons. (INFJ-T)
@ingridrd, I have A LOT of WIPsā¦ So many that I havenāt been able to work on them a lot. Since I do a continuous story for my friends on Aetherlight. Itās called Aetherlight: Origins.
I have other ones that are not really Christian themed.
But I recently had the idea to work on a story about John Huss and other martyrs.
Iāve always been interested in how things happened or how the may have happened. So I was thinking about making a story of John Hussās struggles and such. Maybe other guys like William Tyndale.Life's a cruel joke, so you have to laugh at it sometimes.
@xonos-darkgrate Did I hear Maze Runner??
I just finished reading TMR last week and Iām in the middle of Scorch Trials.
Whoās your favorite character? Mineās Newt.
Have you seen the movies? Iāve seen the first movie, and Iām gonna watch Scorch Trials once I finish the book.INFJ ~ 4w5
aldarley.wordpress.com@epicaddie2 Iām glad I saw this. Do yourself a favor and donāt watch Scorch Trials. The movie is nothing like the book. And the cursing in it was pretty awful. *gets on her knees* Save yourself the painā¦

@that_writer_girl_99 Yeah, I figured since the first movie was nothing like the first book, Scorch Trials would be too.
Unfortunately, my friend who got me into the series is probably going to force me to watch it with her. Sheās really really really enthusiastic about the movies. I actually think she likes the movies better than the booksā¦ *shivers*
Actually, I kinda want to watch it just to see the difference. Although itād be nice if there wasnāt swearing.INFJ ~ 4w5
aldarley.wordpress.comYeah, so I read ALL the TMR books. Including the prequel. (shakes head) the movies are nothing like the books. And while I was okay with the first movie, because it was still cool even if it was different, the second was justā¦ yeah. It was way off and turned out to be terrible. I wouldnāt recommend it, but if youāre planning on seeing the third TMR movie next year, you might have to so youāll understand.
Also, I donāt want to give you any spoilers, but *cough* *cough*ā¦ my favorite character is Newt as well, butā¦ butā¦ nvm. Just finish the series and get mad at the author laterā¦ O_O
On a side note:
Since I donāt copy them anyways, Iām okay with people cursing in movies unless itās overly frequent and truly vulgar. Which is why I donāt rewatch movies like Scorch Trials.Life's a cruel joke, so you have to laugh at it sometimes.
@xonos-darkgrate I already know what happens to Newt in the third book. *eternal sadness and tears* I also know how it happens.
My friend is really bad at keeping secrets. I pretty much know everything that happens because she keeps spoiling it š I also know about Winston and Teresa. Teresa annoys me, though, so I actually donāt mind.INFJ ~ 4w5
aldarley.wordpress.comIn that case, yeahā¦ reminds me of that shirt on sale hereā¦
Anyways, Teresa is justā¦ I donāt really like her character.
And personally, itās really anyone to me in books when the main character has TWO love interests and canāt decide and thereās A LOT of unnecessary dramaā¦ and moviesā¦Twilight,
Hunger Games,
The Maze Runner,
and I could really go ON AND ONā¦But I DO appreciate, however, all those twists the author put into TMR. Those were pretty fun.. and sadā¦ so enjoyable? I donāt know, is it bad that Iām happy certain characters died?
Life's a cruel joke, so you have to laugh at it sometimes.
Oh dear. Twilight. *snorts* Rest in peace, you woefully neglected characters, full of life and wonderful potentialā¦
I actually didnāt think the Hunger Games books were too terrible. They were each fun and exciting reads, justā¦stereotypically easy plot wise.
@xonos-darkgrate Ahem. I just realized I havenāt actually said hello, yetā¦hi, and welcome to KP! If you have any other questions about the forum you can tag me, tooāIāll either know the answer or be able to refer you to someone who does. Iām around the forum a lot, so Iām sure Iāll see you āround. šWriter. Dreamer. Sometimes blogger. MBTI mess. Lover of Jesus and books.
@xonos-darkgrate Wellā¦ it may be a bit concerning that certain characters died, but itās understandable for some.
Iām actually kind of glad that Chuck died. Itās better because he doesnāt have to go through all the other trials. You know what I mean?INFJ ~ 4w5
aldarley.wordpress.comI was a huge fan of TMR until I saw the movies. After thatā¦well, I was scarred. But it was good while it lasted?
Writer. Dreamer. Sometimes blogger. MBTI mess. Lover of Jesus and books.
Yeahā¦ it was weird how they changed something about Chuck in the movies that wasnāt in the book. (Iāll let you find out for yourself), but it just made his death a lot more sad to meā¦
Also, I never watched Twilight, but I heard that itās pretty terrible at times and also Iām not interested in that type of stuff soā¦ Iām never watching it. Or reading it for that matter.
@epicaddie2I actually liked Hunger Games too! Not the whole Katniss, Peeta, Gale thingā¦ but overall I like the movies AND the books. Not much was changed and the story was (admittedly a bit obvious) but fresh in the sense that Iāve never seen it done that way before. The only thing is that somebody thought itād be a good idea splitting Mockingjay into TWO partsā¦ they made me wait so long!
Anyways, I was actually fine with everyone dying untilā¦ *cough* Finnickā¦ HE HAD A UNBORN SONā¦ WHY?!
So yeah, I reread Mockingjay from time to time as MY tribute to fallen.. well.. tributes.
Also, I would have preferred it if Gale died. The fact that heās alive and out there somewhere is disconcerting to me for some reason.
@that_writer_girl_99Life's a cruel joke, so you have to laugh at it sometimes.
@that_writer_girl_99 Yeah. The books are definitely way better. And in the TMR movie (this is one of the things about the movies that bothers me most) Newt doesnāt call Thomas āTommy,ā or say ābloody.ā I really wish theyād done that.

aldarley.wordpress.com@xonos-darkgrate Iāve actually never read or seen Hunger Games. I really want to though. I havenāt read or seen Twilight either.
INFJ ~ 4w5
aldarley.wordpress.comI read all of the Twilight books. Only the second and fourth ones were really worth reading, though, and even they made me cringe. That being said, I have no interest in seeing the movies. Iād rather spend my time writing. *grins*
Yeah! The Hunger Games were actually pretty good. I think Catching Fire was my favorite book overall, just because it was soā¦unpredictable, in a way. I didnāt know where the plot was going to go.
I agree with there being a lot of loose-ended details in the series, though. The epilogue of Mockingjay confused me, but that might just be meā¦
Do you like Harry Potter? If soā¦do you know which house youāre in? @xonos-darkgrate
