I definitely agree about how it’s fun seeing your favorite character go the literal worst together, but also have some sweet relationship-building moments through it all as well. But I usually daydream about it because I’ve never attempted writing fanfic. Partly because I’m too worried that I’d ruin my favorite characters, and…[Read more]

What?! There’s an Avenger on the forum!? And not just any Avenger, but an Avenger that writes fantasy and crochets?

*seriously starts to reconsider who favorite Avenger is*

I used to do a lot of crocheting when I was younger as well. I would just crochet for hours on end while listening to audiobooks. But then my sketching hobby took over my…[Read more]

Haha, yeah, as much as that trope can be interesting from a story standpoint, it rarely ever happens in real life. XD

Is there a particular story that you read/watched that does that trope well which made you like it?

@devastate-lasting

Yeah, I also like it when characters are more than just their stereotypes.

Is there a particular story that you know of that does the “grumpy one that has a soft spot for only that one other character” trope well?

@leon-fleming

Interesting… There is not one cliche that you at least somewhat enjoy?

Well, since there isn’t a cliche you don’t like, is there a cliche that you particularly dislike?

@gh24682468999

Yeah, the forbidden love type is a cliche for a reason! It feels a lot more romantic than other relationships.

And you’re right about it being relatable to a lot of people. Rarely can you stay with everyone you dearly love. Seeing it happen in stories makes you connect to the characters more.

@kathleenramm

Ah, yes, mostly because they’re actual realistically relatable. 🙂  (I love tLotR as well, btw.)

Fav book by her? That’s tough. Probably the best two Scarlet Pimpernel books, The Scarlet Pimpernel and El Dorado. But they’re all so good…love Unto Caesar and The Hundred Days as well, among the rest. You? Or have you read any?

@michelle

Never knew that about the original Beauty and the Beast! I love these little random facts about fairy tales. 😀

Some of my favorite books are The Lord of the Rings, The Lighting Thief, The Hunger Games, and Why Is This Night Different From All Other Nights?

What are some of yours?

Haha, don’t worry about going off topic, I love a…[Read more]

@michelle

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll definitely be checking them out.

I haven’t actually read any of the original fairy tale stories before, but my favorite Disney fairy tale would probably be Beauty and the Beast.

Not only is it a lot more interesting story wise to a lot of other Disney Princess movies, but the message is a lot…[Read more]

@michelle

Yeah, rather. XD

@seekjustice

That’s interesting!

And you have no idea what connected you to keep watching?

@kathleenramm

Story and character arcs in general, really. Chauvelin is such a malevolent, evil guy, but seems so sacrificial and kind on the surface. And he’s definitely gone down the wrong road, to get there. But he’s believable, realistic in the era and story, etc, which is rare for me and super awesome! That’s neat that you want to read it- I…[Read more]

@leon-fleming

XD Yeah

@leon-fleming

Ah yes, the difference between interesting movies verses movies that are interesting to watch.

If your watching with some good friends it can be really fun to just laugh at movies. Especially cheesy ones with bad acting.

@michelle

I never hear the original version of The Little Mermaid! It’s so much more interesting and has much better message than the Disney version.

Though I get why Disney changed it. As much as I love stories where the main character sacrifices their life for someone or something they love, unfortunately I don’t think a Disney Princess movie…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah

The Scarlet Pimpernel is one of the books on my “to read” list!

Is there a specific thing that you like in a villain/antagonist most that makes them your favorite?

@josiahdeboerofficial

Welcome back to the forum!

I want to write a ton this summer as well! And hopefully finish a novel or two.

What kind of music do you like?

@leon-fleming

Were they worth watching? What made the later movies better than the first?
