Ok, Y’all. This topic has gone deep. XD Wow. That’s good though. We should really pull apart why we are writing what we are writing. I’m getting a fresh look at my own characters too.

There are many facets to what y’all are saying. I will say first off, that the reversal of the “da…[Read more]

BiNg!

*screen comes to life*

That would depend on what you mean by “norms”. To be blatant, I don’t like crossdressing, and other such greying of lines. I like lines. I also like to know exactly why that line is there, and if it is a good line. As long as this “norm” isn’t a biblical thing, or crosses a line I’ve personally dr…[Read more]

yw!

@whalekeeper

Ig it’s kinda nostalgic for you. I only play minecraft rn but I want to branch out someday.

@ellette-giselle

Wow, her hand on the bow is perfect.

@whalekeeper

Wow those look so good! The gloved hands look kinda hard!

Do you play hollow knight? I’ve heard great things about it.

Totally following y’all over here from the Castle…

So, ai didn’t read through everything above spoken (because my phone is rapidly loosing it’s life, and I’d have to go get my charger to revive it…) but here’s a few thoughts:

Why can’t a woman fight for a man? Not out of…[Read more]

Min I’m so sorry I haven’t been active at all lately, I went on a trip with my family a few weeks ago out to Idaho and it was soooo fun but now I’m trying to catch up with all the school I missed lol 😭😭 I’ve missed you so much!! How are you doing?

Pls don’t ever apologize! I’m just happy t…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

😠 Yeah you better run

XD jkjk

I know you said you like Gimli more in the movies which is totally fine. I like almost all the characters from the books the same as I like them in the movies. Exception being Faramir because book Faramir was a totally different person.

@mineralizedwritings

Ah yes! I have not read manga, but I love seeing different characters’ points of view on the same or similar event. (One reason I like The Last Archer. The antagonist-to-friend plot looks completely different when seen through the eyes of the antagonist’s lacky. Not to mention being incredibly hilarious.)

Leo

He shifted Quincy higher on his shoulder. The kid sighed, tucking his fluffy blonde head against Leo’s neck. It looked like Quincy wasn’t waking up anytime soon.

“I’m Leo. I work here.” He smiled at Kate and Brian. “And this little monkey is Quincy, my kid brother.” Or at least, that’s what the…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Oh my. XD He would make an interesting centaur. I like it.

*applause*

Rereading Narnia is the ultimate cure for boredom.

@freed_and_redeemed

Thanks! 🙂 It was fun to draw.

@whalekeeper

I can see how someone would feel that way. I’ve never had trouble keeping my mental images separate from movies. It must depend on the person lol.

That would be nice. XD It’s annoying to have different versions of characters competing for attention. I can usually keep them s…[Read more]

Chapter 2

Travenor walked quickly. I scurried through the woods behind him, feeling remarkably like a squirrel trailing an elk. Sunlight streamed down through the leaves around me, creating a world of green and gold. Birds sang above us…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Aaiii! Save us, it’s a film lover!

*Strangled gasp of horror*

Just kidding. I do understand that, and I have heard of some fantastic things they did with the adaptions, including splendid character interactions and even deviations from the books that actually made the plot more family friendly. Like cutting out the barrow…[Read more]

*applause*

Gentle warriors for the win! I am now inspired to write better representations of gentleness, purpose, and grief. We need unique turns on these topics.

 I think one of the reasons their story is cut is because it’s a story that speaks to more sensitive people. Aragorn looks cool on screen to everyone, and ev…

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh! Great topic. Creative narration is my favorite. I like in manga how characters explain their own backstories, because the author gets to have them explain it through their own eyes. And that way, we can even see two characters describe the same event in different ways.

I also like in the book thief how death is the…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon @ellette-giselle

(Tagging you both bc I didn’t realized until adding the tags these replies were from two people so I wrote it in one post 😂)

Also, I think those interconnected side plots like the Stewardship drama and Eowyn’s story are what really keeps the books from dragging on too long. If it was just destroying a ring, it w…

@mineralizedwritings

Excactly! It’s so sweet, but not sugary sweet, you know? If it’s not in there, then half her character is left out (the real Eowyn, in fact) It’s a neat turn on illustrating healing and hope that really brings a lot of light into the story. 🙂

I think it’s my second time to read/listen to the Return of the King. I read the…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Yess… I was freaking out at that chapter. I felt like I was in a dream XDXD

I can’t believe what they cut from the movie of them! That chapter was the completion of Eowyn’s arc, and cutting it out made it seem like her arc ended at the triumph over the Nuzgal, which is really wrong. Her arc isn’t about war, but healing. And…[Read more]
