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]

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]

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]

@mineralizedwritings

Yes! We just listened to the chapter with him and Eowyn, and I just kept crying and laughing.

*Insert a five page essay on sorrow and love and joy and how they are not mutually exclusive*

*Insert random squeaking noises of happiness*

Yeah… Aragorn/Strider is one of the reasons Faramir is not my only favorite. 😉

@elishavet-pidyon

Aw, thank you! 😁 It’s your favorite? I feel like I was just handed a medal.

Faramir is my favorite lotr boy and nobody can change my mind 🥰

The photo quality kinda softened his face, but I still agree. He’s such a fun character. He’s almost as much a walking paradox as Aragorn. XD

yesss I love him 😭 I love Aragorn too thoug…

@mineralizedwritings

Aw, thank you! 😁 It’s your favorite? O.O I feel like I was just handed a medal.

The photo quality kinda softened his face, but I still agree. He’s such a fun character. He’s almost as much a walking paradox as Aragorn. XD

@ellette-giselle

Thank you! I’m glad you like it. 🙂 It was fun to try to draw from my head, although I ended up needing reference pictures for his eyes because he kept looking scared. XD And Faramir should not be scared.

Thank you! Yes, he is described in the book as Westernese: tall, raven-black haired, grey eyed, and noble of…[Read more]
