Rereading Sunshine by Robin McKinley (one of my favourite vampire books). All I remember from reading it 10 years ago is the amount of page-time dedicated to baking cinnamon rolls. But I've realised, this time round, that the baking of cinnamon rolls is the symptom of a much larger theme in characterisation - Rae's ride-or-die commitment to the 'I'm just some guy' bit.
Every single chapter, another thing is revealed about Rae that puts her closer to being a special snowflake Chosen One: her name is Raven Blase but her nickname is Sunshine, she has sunlight powers, she's not just an innocent bystander but the daughter of a powerful warlock, she can help a vampire walk in sunlight, she's performing powerful magic. And every single time Rae just turns round and says to the reader, "but that's not important :) I'm just some guy :) I really like baking :) ignore that gothic heroine coding :) it's time to get up at 4am to make bread :)"
Her commitment to being Just Some Guy is genuinely carrying the novel. Every single day she becomes more of a Chosen One, but there's cinnamon rolls to make. Fucking D&D-ass characterisation. High art.

Reading Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" was a good choice because it is a funny, interesting, culturally significant book. Reading "Pride and Prejudice" was also a bad choice because I am now cursed to know exactly how wrong people are constantly being about "Pride and Prejudice".

Thank you so much @tmkalp for creating that wild west au 🙏 and for being ok with me making my own :D
So here, have Chase being hog-tied to a train track!
First things first(because you KNOW I gotta add a description to every image lol)
I hate that goddamn train. I'm gonna admit I traced the hell out of it and it took me hours??? It came out so ugly brooo
It's WAYY too small but not a single cell in my body is motivated to redraw it
Aight, train rant over
Buddy is supposed to be a western prostitute(the pants were supposed to be non-transparent fading into a transparent tone) because I couldn't think of any other villainess role in a western movie.
Not that I was more creative with Chase 💀
I literally just looked up 'western film female protagonist' and stole ideas off of there
Also yes, Chase is in extreme back pain
Buddy: Well hello there
Chase: *muffled insults*

Why is the show speeding up the slow burn of Percabeth, like Annabeth is supposed to dislike Percy with passion. There should be no hinting of romance at the stage, just annoying and clueless teenagers with bossy attitude and stubborn personality. I want that, not this addition of romance.

"Kid had the bluest eyes you'd ever seen but they were deader than bargain bin Kiroshis. He never said where he came from. He wouldn't be the first Raffen that Coyote let into our ranks, if that's what he was. It wouldn't surprise me. I'll never forget his first night with us. See, fresh meat gets the welcoming committee—we all take turns throwing punches at the newest member. 'That's the true bond of brotherhood,' Coyote used to say or some shit. Usually it's one each. Then we grab a beer 'round the campfire, plan the next job, you know. But this kid, swear to God, he kept asking for more. In the dirt, spitting up his own blood...that's the only time I ever saw him smile. He disappeared a couple years later when it all turned to shit. Sometimes I wonder what happened to him, but I'll tell you what. I'd never want to run into him on a lonely highway." — Gadget Berry, "True Tales of the Open Road" (2087)

Been developing this OC from a while ago, I think he’s turning out pretty well but the problem is having to draw out everything that’s in my head 😂
