So it appears that Kathleen Kennedy is doubling down on Rey being Luke 2.0 space nun addition. And I've heard that no one else from the past films will even be in the Rey movie concluding that DLF has learned absolutely nothing. Now that A Reylo fic turned OG novel is getting it's own TV series and another well known Reylo fic turned OG novel is anticipated to be the next LOTR series. It sounds like they've either surrendered Ben Solo and the concept of Reylo to its community or couldn't care less due to their warped code of ethics until maybe their filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. And that's a BIG maybe for me. Any thoughts?

I mean, this is exactly what I said they would do barring some massive shake up. Except rather than no appearance at all, I'm sure there will be horrible CGI thrawls of past characters if they actually make this slop. They're not going to stop trying to legitimise this.

They clearly already decided they do not want our filthy reylo money and it's a question for the philosophers if that's because they're so staggeringly headass that they genuinely can't see the fortune being left on the table or if it's because they think we'll taint the franchise with our terrible girl cooties and drive off all the mouth-breathing manchildren who are apparently their desired audience.

The new disney entertainment monopoly seems terrified of romance, probably because a) aforementioned cooties and b) it requires sincerity and vulnerability, and God forbid we have any of that without quashing it instantly with a fart joke.

#honestly i'm sure it has to do with someone's ego #either refusing to admit they failed and made the wrong decision flushing the story down the toilet to please a screamy whinging minority #who will never stop giving DLF money anyway #or genuinely unable to see what the fucking problem is and why the general audience is not on board with their soulless corporate avatar #also I feel like maybe it needs to be said again:#Luke is a great character with depth and conflict who struggled failed and had relevant acknowledged flaws which caused him actual problems #Rey Disney is not ever coming within 18 billion lightyears of being a tenth of the character that Luke was #and the st will be a forgotten footnote to sw's legacy when his classic hero's journey is still being used as an example 100 years from now

Story Prompt 100

Amidst the ruins of a once-grand kingdom, a figure stood tall, surveying the devastation below. The flames licked at the remnants of civilization, casting an eerie glow upon the scene. The one responsible for this chaos, the one they called the villain, reveled in the destruction that lay in their wake.

Down below, amidst the chaos, a lone figure struggled to rise. The hero, battered and bloodied, yet still defiant, met the villain's gaze with a mixture of defiance and resignation. The weight of their countless battles hung heavy between them.

With a twisted grin, the villain approached, their steps deliberate and filled with malice. They raised their sword, not to strike, but to mockingly lift the hero's chin, forcing them to meet their gaze.

"You see, it's not about good or evil," the villain remarked, their voice dripping with disdain. "It's about power. And I have all the power now."

The hero, barely able to speak through the pain, spat out words of defiance. "You're nothing but a monster," they hissed, their voice barely a whisper amidst the chaos.

The villain's laughter echoed across the desolate landscape, a sound devoid of remorse or mercy. "Monster, perhaps," they conceded, their eyes gleaming with a twisted sense of satisfaction. "But a necessary one."

As memories of past betrayals and conflicts flooded the hero's mind, the realization of their own sins washed over them like a tidal wave. Regret mingled with anger, a bitter taste that soured the hero's resolve.

In a final, desperate attempt to defy their fate, the hero uttered a plea for redemption. "Please," they whispered, their voice barely audible above the roar of the flames. "Forgive me."

Sketched on the way home today, so have Percy being a Disney princess in the sea of monsters because 13 year old Percy was, in fact, a Disney princess

#percy jackson #percy jackson and the sea of monsters #ignore the jancky hands #I was on a bus #and also tierd #but you get the general idea #might polish it later cus Im fond of this one #he just.#he.#Percy in the sea of monsters was a very specific percy #like he had a skill set now and was certafiably powerful as a hero #but also he was still nieve #he was in his element #but still descovering his power set #one of my favourite moments in his entire journey #bek draws

Everything Everywhere All At Once is such a good allegory (is that the right word?) of someone going through depression or suicidal thoughts or addiction. That you can be so wrapped up in your own problems it can be easy to miss in someone else. And one of the best things you can do to help is to not give up on them, to not let go, no matter how much they hurt you or try to convince you they’re right. And most importantly, coming out of that is still down to them. At the very last, they have to choose to reach back out, to make a change, or they will…stay in the everything bagel.

And I loved the message at the end. Everything has already been done, nothing matters, we are small and powerless and nothing in the grander scheme of things. So how wonderful and brave is it, despite all of the uncaring and horrible things in the world, to choose to be kind. Because we can always choose to be kind.

#spoilers #everything everywhere all at once #eeaao spoilers #eeaao #movies #it was chaos #and slapstick #but it was also so freaking good #and that’s not even discussing the healing generational trauma plot #and that it followed the hero’s journey trope so well #they packed so much into that movie #and the cinematography was chefs kiss the mirrors at the beginning were superb

just tags lol

#once again just.......... so baffled by the Type Of Guy #who seems to believe that an in-game explanation completely negates any nasty implications when it comes to fromsoft games #. like #yes the “level up maiden” is a constant trope!#it does not change the fact that it is still a choice laden with unique gendered implications in the context of each installation.#yes! the trope is very likely inspired from classical mythology/hero's journey plot structure!#this does not change the fact that all of the above are also laden with unique gendered implications!#in the context of their respective cultures of origin.#just so confused. just overall. in general. no reading! no reading! none

while im just rambling. i don't get why people like stephen king books so much i'm sorry. my moms a horror fan and she cites a lot of his books as genre staples which like. i know a lot of his work is considered iconic or whatever but i read the shining and it just didn't freak me out.

#i started carrie in 9th grade too and i didn't finish and ppl were like ''oh was it too scary'' girl no it was boring and the writing felt #flat i'm so so sorry 😭 i even tried the long walk and the gunslinger #gunslinger worked out better just bc it was more hero's journey (ish) than horror so like. i didn't expect to be scared.#idk for me its like if the horror doesnt innately disturb me or provoke deeper questions within myself then is it good?#i know theres a lot of ways to ''judge'' media but for me i come to horror generally for like. a good thrill a fun time some creepy little #guys. i thought the shining was just kinda middle of the road.#cricket.chatterbox

So. This is my own headcanon and not anyway factual to the Fable series. These are my headcanon timelines for not only the actual games but for my Fable fanfics as well. (Fable4 is my personal story and not related to the reboot.)

I forgot to add Edge of the World but that canonically takes place ten years after Fable3 so it’s quick math.

I think the world is made up of people like you and me. You're more like the hero and I'm the one who'll walk us through.

#just started playing afk journey and it's been really fun so far!#still trying to understand how the game works and what i'm doing #but the gacha system looks pretty good and we've got generous login rewards!#i think i got lucky with my s level hero pull #cecia is really awesome and powerful :D #got to know so many classes and factions and the relations between each of them for team formations #but i'm excited and can't wait to play more!#edit: cecia was a fixed pull but it doesn’t take away the fact that she’s really good (at least for early game so far)

I'm reading a book on writing and the author pretty much summarized all my thoughts on the hero's journey lol. but also, I'm aware that I write fanfiction mostly, and stories I don't ever plan on marketing or getting paid for, so a lot of writing advice from craft books don't really apply to me

#mine musings #writing #it's not really a book on writing in generally; it's more specifically about writing horror #it's just that this particular chapter touches on plot #but otherwise i'm actually enjoying the book. i don't even read or write that much horror #but it's such a difficult genre to attempt i think. i'm fascinated #anyway you all know this already but i avoid 'write the hero's journey' advice like the plague #it's not even 'wrong' i just... don't find it helpful. to me. personally. but anyway

Story Prompt 84

The evening breeze whispered through the ancient forest, carrying with it the scent of pine and earth. Amidst the towering trees, a figure cloaked in darkness moved with stealthy grace, their steps as silent as the wings of a hunting owl.

In a secluded clearing, a lone figure knelt before a small, flickering fire. Tears streaked down their cheeks, glistening in the firelight. "Why?" they whispered, their voice trembling with grief. "Why did you do this? They were innocent."

"Don't be such a drama queen," a voice interrupted, dripping with malice. The figure in the shadows stepped forward, revealing themselves to be the villain. "I already claimed that title."

The hero's eyes narrowed with defiance. "You may have claimed it, but you'll never understand the weight of it. The burden of responsibility."

The villain chuckled darkly, their eyes glinting with amusement. "Responsibility? Please. You cling to your ideals like a child to their favorite toy. But in the end, it's all just a game. And I play to win."

The hero rose to their feet, fists clenched at their sides. "You may think you've won this round, but the fight isn't over yet. I'll stop you, no matter what it takes."

The villain's laughter echoed through the forest, a chilling sound that sent shivers down the hero's spine. "Oh, I do hope you try. It's been far too long since I've had a worthy adversary."

With a flick of their cloak, the villain disappeared into the shadows, leaving the hero alone with their thoughts.
