Reading through the Silver Eyes graphic novel and then revisiting the actual novel is NUTS— like— graphic novel what do you MEAN Jessica has blonde hair??? She’s described as a brunette! What do you mean Charlie looks normal and can express emotion properly? She’s suppose to be happy all the time! What do you mean Henry’s only ever seen wearing white button ups? HES SUPPOSE TO BE A FLANNEL WEARING BOY LIKE ME! What do you mean we only get 2 pages dedicated to the house scene? ITS SUPPOSE TO HAVE SO MUCH MORE BC ITS IMPORTANT!
Literally biggest girl failure of graphic novel ever

Wanna see something cool: many of you know that I had the idea for Salty while I was staying in a tiny room Paris for the winter. This week I got to take the finished book to my old building in Rue de Paradis for a photo in the place where she was first dreamed of (and then I had coffee and a croissant at my local boulangerie where I spent the morning after that first thunderbolt scribbling frantic notes in my journal)

You know, I feel like Kratos forgetting Calliope’s song was a wee bit harsh on the part of the writers.
I think his explanation of how he would’ve given up everything for a few moments more with his daughter, but when he met Faye, found the world worth living in again, would’ve been enough. Imo that illustrates his journey well in of itself.
To add onto that that when he found his new family, he could no longer recall Calliope’s song (played on the flute he made for her)…I dunno, it doesn’t make me think, ‘oh look at Kratos’s growth and development’ as I’m sure the writers intended. I understand the symbolism they were aiming for, but honestly it just made me sad
It’d be different if he was struggling to remember just due to the passing of time, but the fact he says he forgets it specifically after meeting Faye changes the meaning imo.
Kratos could remember his daughter’s song - presumably her favourite, that she played often, if it stuck in his memory - just because he loves her. To remember doesn’t intrinsically mean he’s haunted by it. memories of, and a love for, his Grecian family isn’t inherently negative, or something that has to be ‘let go of’ for him to progress as a character.

Okay so I am back to reading Star Wars books, and I have JUST started Shatterpoint and I already know this books is gonna be great because..
No more than a couple pages in (it’s an e-book idk how many pages in the physical copy it is..it might be the first page idk 🤷🏻♀️) Mace Windu expresses regret over not killing Dooku on Geonosis
He’s overthinking and stressing over that decision and why he made it
And what is one of the reasons he couldn’t bring himself to kill Dooku?
Because they were friends
Because he LOVED HIM
Yeah. You read that correctly. Mace Windu loved Count Dooku. His words. Not mine. He used the word love. They were friends before Dooku left the order and Windu admits it to himself that he could not let him go, could not separate the jedi he knew with the man in front of him.
That’s right. Mace Windu. The man whom so many fans believe is a cold and unfeeling asshole.
That man, believes that he potentially allowed his love for the Dooku that was his friend stop him from killing him.
He thinks he might’ve
allowed his emotions to cloud his judgement
and cannot get over that feeling of regret.
And that is so goddamn important to me.

This is a plea for help, everyone!
I need AUDIOBOOK RECS.
I was a dumbass who didn’t realize I’ve been paying for a Libro.fm subscription for the past eight months. My usual go-to audiobooks are Star Wars ones (because the production quality on those are top tier), but they aren’t available for credit purchases on Libro.
I will read pretty much every genre except romance on audio.

Had a nap. Considering leaking a potential ending for Aces and Oh’s. It’s really sad and dark, and it contains main character as a ghost. I’m toying with this potential plot line that I came up with whilst napping. I read something on Pinterest about killing the main character right in the middle of the story. Kenz might not survive Aces and Oh’s.
Also, Aces and Oh’s will have POV switches from Kenz and their two triplet siblings like how the pov switches in Warrior cats. I might poll whether or not to kill Kenz right smack dab in the middle of the story. Might not and leave it up to the fic to decide. I like to leak things, but it might be a bad idea to leak the ending. Might leak some other things in Ace’s and Oh’s like journal excerpts—
JUST START WORKING ON THE FUCKING PROLOGUE ALREADY!!!!
Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill.
No. No no no no no. Bad Bill. (Sprays him with a squirt bottle.) You know better than to rush authors.
WHY WONT YOU GO TO COLLEGE AND STUDY QUANTUM MECHANICS INSTEAD OF WASTING YOUR TIME TRYING TO BE INTERNET FAMOUS ON YOUR NOT EVEN THAT POPULAR BLOG?
First off, no one would even fund a pandimensional portal. Secondly, I am an artist. I made that dedication to that side of me the moment I started burning out with math during the pandemic in ninth grade. And finally, we both know how much I love telling stories.
MORE LIKE START TELLING A STORY WITH WAY TOO MUCH FILLER AND NEVER END YOUR STORY.
Okay. I get it. This time will be different. I will write with at least one ending in mind. Ending things is my weakness.
YOU’RE PLANNING ON KILLING OFF MY HENCHMANIACS!!!!
I gotta have Kenz win at something. Now stop leaking spoilers.
HOW WILL YOUR FAMILY FEEL ABOUT THE SKITS YOU MAKE ON TIKTOK ABOUT HOW YOUR FATHER ABUSED YOU?!!! HOW THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FAILED YOU?!!!
That’s unrelated. It was their choice whether or not to look at my profile. They chose not to speak with me as soon as I moved out only to meander onto my TikTok. It’s embarrassing enough that they found it.
YOU WOULDNT HAVE ALL THIS BOREDOM IF YOU—
I’m not gonna let you finish that.
WHY?!
Because you’re a petty bitch who can’t find someone else to build your stupid portal.
BUT YOU LOVE—
Shut up you insect.
FUCK YOU!!!!
Im gonna go play skylanders and cry every time one dies.
WASTE YOUR LIFE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES FOR ALL I CARE!!! YOU’LL NEVER AMOUNT TO SOMETHING GREAT!!!
Tell me something my dad hasn’t told me.
