Howdy hello- guess who made a wings au :)

More to come with this eventually- I’m working on my designs for other characters at the moment, but for now we’ve got Red-Tailed Hawk for Curt and Eagle Owl for Owen.

For DMA I had Barn Owl wings because a) Barn Owls are beautiful and I wanted to draw the wings for them, and more importantly, b) Owen would probably want to disguise his wings, and it would make sense if it was as a different type of owl. I just assume he’d dye his feathers in some way or another. Look- just don’t think about it too much.

“aFtG iS bAdLy WrItTeN” okay so we’re just gonna ignore the 45.-4.8 star ratings for the books on Amazon and the lasting fan base after 10yrs and the 6500 copies of the rc special edition sold huh

yall really need to stop complaining that the erins call moonpaw a chimera it's not that big of a deal... she's literally inbred why is the incorrect usage of chimerism your issue? crowfeather is a black/gray cat with blue eyes and a significant amount of male characters are tortoishells 😭😭😭😭 i get it's a common misconception and it's annoying but like.... half the fandom doesn't need to make posts abt how it isn't accurate like i think we've got it covered now.

i know it’s cliche but home by cavetown feels like a zukka song too. maybe post-canon when zuko is feeling really overwhelmed with fire lord duties and sokka decides to stay in the palace with him. “i’m a little sick right now but i swear when im ready i will fly us out of here” “get a load of this monster he doesn’t know how to communicate” 😭😭 just… zuko the teenage fire lord and his secret caring boyfriend/water tribe ambassador.

ahhhh that is so sweet!!! i can definitely imagine that. 😭😭 poor zuko. you're not a monster!

Every bookbinding tutorial i found online: "DO NOT TRY THE COPTIC STITCH AS A BEGINNER ITS TOO ADVANCED"

Me who has only bound one book before and used a completely different method: "ehh it can't be that hard"

2 hours later

Something that makes reading TOA so devastating is how fucking much Apollo feels about Everything. There’s so MUCH. Like I don’t even know how to describe it to you if you haven’t read the books yourself. He has so many complicated thoughts and emotions about just about everything and he cares about everything so much and there is just SO MUCH going on in his head. And yet none of it ever reaches his mouth!!

He almost never says what he’s feeling. What little comes out of his mouth about his thoughts barely even scratches the surface of what he actually means. Like he’ll be having a long ass monologue about how incredible someone is, showing a deep understanding of them as a person and empathizing with them so hard you’d almost think it’s projection but it’s not he’s legitimately just mind melding with this random person he met like a week ago and he’s thinking the softest, kindest thoughts about them like he knows they’re fucking incredible - and what comes out of his mouth is just like, “you’re a wonderful friend :)” AND ITS LIKE. THERES SO MUCH MORE UNDER THE SURFACE. the sheer admiration and adoration he has for everyone around him……… UGHHH!!! But he never VOICES ANY OF IT!!!!!! He never tells anyone about what Zeus did to him……. He never tells anyone except the reader about his realization that Zeus is abusive…. He never even tells commodus about how much he adored him, not then and not now… he refuses to tell anyone when he’s in pain or tries to justify the things he does when he actually had Decent Reasons for why he did something… I’m. I’M. AUGH. AHHHHH

HE DOESN’T EVEN TELL US ALL OF HIS THOUGHTS IS THE THING. THERES EVEN MORE THAT HE IS NOT TELLING US!!!!! THE FUCKING OCEAN OF FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS HE HAS ABOUT EVERYTHING IS THE CLIFF NOTES VERSION. I AM IN DISTRESS.

And YET…. Even what slips out of his mouth is so fucking devastating it is SO devastating. He’s so fucking kind and gentle with Harley and Meg and and other younger Demis and his kids… he’ll act like an obstinate idiot and then turn around say something that drags the core of the person he’s talking to into the light like nail on the fucking HEAD like he reached into their soul and gave them the words to express something that they were struggling to say aloud or that they didn’t even realize about themself. Around the 2nd book he starts putting voice to some of his feelings and thoughts about others and even that tiny fucking sliver is overwhelming to the people he’s talking to bc he’s SO. AUGHHHH

i hate people who think theyre so cool for not liking or refusing to engage in insanely popular things like has it occurred to you that it might be insanely popular……… because its good?

if anyone wants a really creative dystopian retelling of Alice in Wonderland that also has the vibes of Hunger Games & the Nevermoor/Morrigan Crow series, then you’ve GOT to check out The Wonderland Trials by Sara Ella

There's a Sam interview where he talks about Lestat redemption and how Rolin had to convince him about episode 5. IDK how much he knows though, he could just be getting broad strokes.

"We're seeing this primordial version of him. In Rolin’s adaptation he worked out a way to — and once I understood this, I really appreciated it — build that character's arc. He has to go to certain places to be able to start a redemption arc. Once I got over the changes he made, because as a fan of the material, it's quite difficult to deal with changes – I looked at what those changes were doing to serve the show, and I thought he'd done an extraordinary job. "

ah that makes sense.. what im gathering from this quote here is that its about lestat redeeming himself in the context of his relationship w louis moreso than anything..? lestat will make 4:44 look like a walk in the park, ur over basquik!
