#the rise of paradise

[straightfromthetorturedpoetsdept]

very excited about this series because I feel like its a fresh take on the chosen one trope we see a lot in fantasy which im excited to just write you know? ive always found the chosen one trope to be a little lackluster and almost vapid in a way because its not how reality works and also I can't help but see the jesus connection to it. i feel like this idea is finally me unmasking enough to not care about what i "should" be writing about and im very happy about that.

i started writing as escapism but somewhere along the way, I got too caught up in writing the "next big thing" or "the perfect novel." so i would get these ideas where they were good but they felt vapid or shallow and nothing about it felt like it was my voice coming through.

i stopped writing when my burn out got really bad and looking back at my journey, it was the first thing to go when I got burnt out. it was also the last thing to return after I recovered from my burn out period.

and i think this second go around, I am able to pick up bits and pieces of my voice in my older writing that is covered by my attempts at masking or figuring out social interactions via fiction. now that ive lived enough and know myself better, i cannot help but feel like this time im writing just for me. just because i have things to say and i feel like i actually know how to communicate them nowadays.

and so yeah before i had a lot of stereotypical teenage writing and i used a lot of bad tropes like the chosen one where i didnt really like writing like that but i just felt like i had to???? i never wrote in second person even though i feel like some of my best prose has always been second person because I am so good at writing short fiction and this pov ROCKS for that type of writing imho.

and i just am so happy to be at a point where I am intuitively creating worlds that feel authentic to what I want to say as an author and what I want to write. like i dont believe the chosen one can ever happen so whenever i read those series, it always falls a little flat for me. but until recently, i had *no idea* you can just not use tropes u dont like or vibe with in your own writing?

its been so freeing actually, like truly focusing on myself and my desires and having an autistic partner who gets it and allows for a space that supports that behavior, has allowed me to just get to know myself better and that has shown through in other aspects of my life as well. like knowing who i am has really helped improve my writing because I know what I want to write now.

also all my characters are autistic because I said so and that's been freeing as well.

#trying to write NT characters also made writing so fucking horrible for me because i didn't know what that looked like #i still dont but now im not chasing after that writing style #does that make sense? #personal #writing chronicles #unmasking autism chronicles #the rise of paradise

Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:

#rottmnt #tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #no but really #I love thinking that they’re actually way more prideful about the stuff that does not even hold a candle to their other feats #like yeah Mikey can open a hole in the space time continuum but that’s nothing have you TRIED his manicotti?? #yeah Leo has outsmarted multiple incredibly intelligent and capable people AND knows how to rewire AI but eh did you hear his one liners? #donnie accidentally made regular animatronics sentient but that was an oopsie check out his super cool hammer instead #raph was able to fake his own death to save the entirety of New York and then be the one to bring about his brothers’ inner powers- #but forget about that did you know he can punch like a BOSS? #and April can survive and THRIVE against a demonic suit of armor alongside literal weapons of destruction as a regular human- #but her crane license is where it’s really at #(not to mention all the other secondary talents and skills these kids all just sorta have like - they are VERY CAPABLE) #honorable mentions in this regard go moments like #donnie ordering around an entire legion of woodland critters to create a woodsy tech paradise #or Leo being able to avoid an entire crowd’s blind spots in plain sight #and also being able to hold a pose without moving a millimeter while covered in paint and being transported no I’m NOT OVER THAT #Mikey casually being ridiculously strong and also knowledgeable enough about building to help Donnie make the puppy paradise for Todd #Raph literally led an entire group of hardened criminals like that entire episode was just #basically they’re all so capable???? #and at the same time prone to wiping out at the most inopportune of moments #love them sm

One of our greatest joys at Movie Health Community is when we get to share good news about a movie being safe for photosensitive audiences. With that in mind, we have a proposal based on what we’ve already been doing for almost 8 years: Publicly-posted photosensitivity advisories on every film. Not just the ones that have objectively dangerous strobe effects, but also a prominent notice when a movie is safe to watch.

Admin Brandon put such an advisory at the beginning of his first original short film, Leech, and it felt like an actively positive step to take, an assurance for the audience that nobody would have their photosensitive health issues triggered while watching. Shown here is a screenshot of that advisory.

Let’s take a moment to recognize the safe movies. So far in 2023, the safest movies for photosensitive audiences have been:

Cocaine Bear 80 for Brady Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret Book Club: The Next Chapter Air Champions Fool’s Paradise

Image ID: A screenshot of a pre-movie advisory shown at the beginning of Leech, in white text on a black background, which reads: This short film has no strobe light effects, and is safe for audiences with health issues related to photosensitivity. | Trigger warning: vomit. | Evaluated for potential health hazards by Movie Health Community

FANART

YOOOO

I made fanart of one my new favorite fics called Trouble in Paradise?

I love this fic, it’s technically LeoSagi fic but Usagi is married to Donnie—So LOTS of drama and what I love about it that isn’t forced nor does it feel out of character at all. So that’s one of the many reason why I love it!!!

Check out @sansbyshipper AKA the author of the fic. Seriously I love this fic!!!

If you are wondering who the cat is, that’s Kore. My favorite character as she calls out BS when she sees it. Leo also becomes an unpaid babysitter and it’s amazing.

Seriously check the fic out, enjoy the fanart!!

im so excited to work on my magic series because I think I really managed to figure out a great and new magic system that I havent seen anyone use in this particular way before and I'm also really excited because it merges many of my special interests (these might be hyperfixations im really bad at differentiating between the 2 for myself actually together another rant for another day) (specifically evolution, religion, and colonization/racism) into one cohesive project and I'm just so excited to finish the first novel because I really want to share more about on here but I don't want to give too much away before i write it in case the finished version ends up looking completely different to what I have outlined at the moment but im so excited

#like okay the magic system will have magical beings as well as animals !!! #and its such a cool take on the animals part especially because my series focuses on what would have happened in the world if christians #had actual magic like the bible says they will via healing powers etc etc #and like ugh im so excited im so excited omg like i think this will be the one guys #like the one where it will be good enough to shop when its finished????? #personal #writing chronicles #the rise of paradise

Just stumbled into the fallen Gabe/risen v1 au yesterday and I’m already obsessed with it. I’m so fascinated by this world that has outlasted its creator and purpose. It’s decaying despite its best efforts to preserve its current state and it’s in dire need of renewal but despite all the horrible things life continues. there’s still beautiful moments and things and the world keeps going the best it can. And it’s beautiful despite everything.

Also hehe fluffy Gabe go brrrrrr

Also also I never thought I’d ever be sympathizing for Lucifer but. Here I just want him to have… I don’t even know… freedom, reconciliation with the other angels, *something*, anything would be better than just leaving him at his current state.

THANK YOU,,,,,i really just enjoy the idea that ultrakill presents as a narrative, the whole concept of an automated world, run by constructs meant only to perform work for their now dead creators. the machines are obvious, running on deteriorating code and long defunct programming, but the angels are almost their mirrors - made only to serve, they now keep running infinitely without direction on the tracks they were placed. perhaps there was something like political ambition in the council, but still all they tried to do was reinstate god's power as their own, never dreaming of another structure. hell too continues on in its evil purpose, too far gone into itself, its cruelty, to ever imagine anything else even without that threat of god. and while i like the idea of this burning itself out, reduced to ash as all the mechanisms finally return to dust and gabriel, alone in defying it, burns out brilliantly with it....i also like exploring an alternative in this au. the alternative of....no more gods, no more direction. just a world created and the few left in it continue on after all the loss, the damage, the pain. there is no plan, not by god or humanity, instead just beings made only to serve living on without purpose, but in some hopeful way. that they are no longer bound, that the whole of reality is now wild and free and unpredictable and they all shape what it is around them. how v1 can think back so long ago to what it discussed with mirage, and believe it's carrying that through now - to live, just to live, without fear of what it means. because it means nothing...and that's a good thing.

i know i've said it a million times but i just can't keep myself from a happy ending, and i definitely feel the same about lucifer - he's kind of the final piece of the puzzle here, the first victim of god's hatred the last to be released, and so the world is freed of god's rule at last. he too, is the last bit of god's original fire and eventually, as things settle, he is sort of looked to by the archangels in some kind of quiet expectation. he is something of a relic, yet he is also the one that has lived all these eons without god - in his place in hell and only his, the light of god had fully filtered out, yet now it can only come from him. so in his freedom he walks in a godless world, meaning to see to the ones left behind, the damned, the fallen, man's own machines...and, in some part, the angels abandoned too. lucifer doesn't believe in leadership, holding every being's autonomy in the highest regard, yet he is still abounding with advice in world left so adrift. he refuses to direct, he will take no kingship of a world finally so free, instead just whispering his wisdom and singing for hell in the most rapturous, beautiful voice god had ever produced. to hear him now is to hear echoes of god's own voice, as close as any could ever come and live to recount it, but filled with what lucifer is - primal, agonized, yet overfilling still in all the love he was made in. he looks after all of his people from afar, never intruding on their lives and their works so they can direct themselves but he is always willing to be sought out if they are in need of counsel only he can provide.

#lucifer is very careful to never take a guiding role #in his paradise everyone is their own and he must tread carefully #given his closeness to god and what he once was #the closest he comes is his harboring of the fallen angels once bound to him #but then he just eases them into living on their own terms #ANYWAYS.....thank you very much ;o; #i know i write a TON about this au so it means....a ridiculous amount that you looked through it!!! #cake answers #lucifer #rise and fall au
