@Daeus *smirks* Point taken.

Oh, and did you notice that the Lies that began both Cassian’s and Jyn’s arc are both passive? For the theme’s sake that was necessary, as they were learning to stand up and do something in the name of hope. That was the whole point.

You know you’re a writer when you spend most of your time staring at the ceiling, hoping the roof will cave in and crack your computer screen.

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Beginners' Tips For Writing Science Fiction in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
@emily-d Basically, science fiction is what it says: fictionalized science. Sometimes you don’t have to read a lot of that genre to write that genre (although it is a good idea). Reading a bunch of books won’t make you a master. A person could read tons of books and still not know anything. If you do your research and do your best work, it won’t…[Read more]

*tips her hat to you for taking the unpopular opinion*
@Daeus all fair points. I can see what you’re saying, definitely, and in some measure I agree, but it didn’t prevent me connecting to the characters. I thought it was kind of the point that they were all hopeless rebels without a cause. Though I will admit I was intrigued by them more than I…[Read more] -

@Dragon-Snapper uhhhhh… uhhhhh… *gapes at you* Okay. *tries not to stare* Uhhhh… if you didn’t see it, no amount of my telling you what I saw will really do much good, but I suppose it won’t hurt to go through it just in case. 😛
First of all… Jyn’s arc. From ‘It’s [‘it’ being evil and oppression] not a problem if you don’t look up’ to ‘We…[Read more] -

@graceofspades2017 Ah yes, the Wingfeather saga. I’ve read The Dark Sea of Darkness, but never managed to get the other two from the library. (This is what happens when you rely on your sister for library books. She will undoubtedly forget. 🙂 ) It wasn’t my favoritest book ever, (I thought the characters could do with a little more development)…[Read more]

@graceofspades2017 Heh, yeah, bestistest is a thing. Don’t ask me how it got started, because we’ve all tried to figure that out at least once and never succeeded. 🙂
HURRAH! I don’t know anyone who’s read THC either. (At least, I don’t think I do…) I haven’t read any of his other books yet, but my aunt just lent me most of them. I’m finishing…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Ah…
So, why do you think that the character and relationship was good? I can’t see any arc really, for either of the characters. I can’t see them as great characters, really. And what was the theme?

@graceofspades2017 Um…a dragon snapper is me. I’m not really sure what it does, because I’ve never personally met another dragon face to face. You see, as we talk here, there’s a computer screen between us. 😛
AAAAHHH! Storks is the bestest movie ever. Great movie.
I haven’t seen Earth to Echo, though.

@Dragon-Snapper wow… you want the whole list?? 😛
Well, to sum it up, I love action movies with great plots, and I also adore movies with superb character and relationship development, and I’ll die for a movie with a dynamic, well-executed theme, but it’s so seldom I find even two of those in the same movie. Rogue One has all three. -

@kate-flournoy I’m curious. Why do you like Rogue One?

Snapper replied to the topic Favorite Movies in the forum Film 9 years, 3 months ago
@mark-kamibaya I did like it. I thought it was very simple without being boring. Because I tend to overthink things, the simplicity of a movie, without having to have Marvel-like chases and things like that. What did you think of it?

@graceofspades2017 Greetings, fellow dragon! Always nice to see more dragons. What type of dragon are you? I’m a dragon snapper. There’s really only one of those. 😛 Oh yeah, try not melt people. Very important. Sometimes I melt chairs and phones, but hey, whatever works. 😛
What’s your favorite movie? -

@graceofspades2017 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! (GUYS. I said it first!!! I”m so proud of myself.)
I think I’ve seen you hanging around the art topic. Your stuff is very cool. And since you’re a dragon, I recommend talking to @dragon-snapper. (She’s our forum Security Dragon.) The rules are simple: No melting people.…[Read more]
