Mini Compass Basics
Orientating the Map
Place the rotatable ring so the 'N' point is on the index mark. Place the compass on the map so one edge of the baseplate matches the edge of the map. Turn the copass and map together until the north arrow exactly matches the 'N' mark on the map.
Field to map orienting
Take a bearing on a landmark. Transfer that bearing angle to the orientated map. Put the compass on the map with one long edge making contact with your present location on the map. Pivot baseplate over that present location until green north arrow lines up with N mark on rotation ring. The long edge is now pointing to your landmark
Map to field Orienting
Orient the map first.
Position the long edge of the baseplate along an imaginary line between your present location and destination. Direction of travel arrow must point toward destination. Turn rotational ring until 'N' mark aligns with the green north arrow. Now read your course ring at the index mark. Remove compass from map and hold so 'N' mark aligns with green north arrow. Direction of travel arrow now points to your desired location.

What No One Tells You About Writing Fantasy
Every author has their preferred genres. I love fantasy and sci-fi, but began with historical fiction. I hated all the research that historical fiction demands and thought, if I build my own world, no research required.
Boy, was I wrong.
So to anyone dipping their toe into fantasy/sci-fi, here’s seven things I wish I knew about the genres before I committed to writing for them.
1. You still have to research. Everything.
If you want any of your fantasy battle sequences, or your space ships, or your droids and robots, or your fictional government and fictional politics to read at all believable.
In sci-fi, you research astronomy, robotics, politics, political science, history, engineering, anthropology. In fantasy, you have to research historical battle tactics, geography, real-world mythology, folklore, and fairytales, and much of it overlaps with science fiction.
I say you *have to* assuming you want your work to be original and unique and stand out from the crowd. Fanfic writers put in the research for a 30k word smut fic, you can and will have to research for your original work.
2. Naming everything gets exhausting
I hate coming up with new names, especially when I write worlds and places divorced from Earthly customs and can’t rely on Earthly naming conventions. You have to name all your characters, all your towns, villages, cities, realms, kingdoms, planets, galaxies, star systems.
You have to name your rebel faction, your imperial government, significant battles. Your spaceships, your fantasy companies and organizations, your magic system, made-up MacGuffins, androids, computer programs. The list goes on and on and on.
And you have to do it all without it sounding and reading ridiculous and unpronounceable, or racist. Your fantasy realms have to have believable naming patterns. It. Gets. Exhausting.
3. It will never read like you’re watching a movie
Do you know how fast movies can cut between scenes? Movies can balance five plotlines at once all converging with rapid edits, without losing their audience. Sometimes single lines of dialogue, or single wordless shots are all a scene gets before it cuts. If you try to replicate that by head-hopping around, you will make a mess.
It’s perfectly fine to write like you’re watching a movie, but you can’t rely on visual tricks to get your point across when all you have is text on a page – like slow mo, lens flares, epically lit cinematic shots, or the aforementioned rapid edits.
It doesn’t have to, nor should it, look like a movie. Books existed long before film, so don’t let yourself get caught up in how ~cinematic~ it may or may not look.
4. Your space opera will be compared to Star Wars and Star Trek
And your fairy epic will be compared to Tinkerbell, your vampires to Twilight, your zombies to The Walking Dead, Shaun of the Dead, World War Z. Your wizards and witches and any whisper of a fantasy school for fantasy children will be compared to Harry Potter. Your high fantasy adventure will be compared to Lord of the Rings.
You can’t avoid it, but you can avoid doing it to yourself. When people ask about your book, let them say “oh, you mean like Star Wars” to which you then can say, kind of, except XYZ happens in my book. These IPs will never fade from the public consciousness, not while you exist to read this post, at least, but Harry Potter isn’t the only urban fantasy out there. Lord of the Rings isn’t the only high fantasy. Star Wars isn’t the only space opera.
Yours will be on the shelves right next to them, soon enough, and who knows? You might dethrone them.
5. Your world-building is an iceberg, and your book is the tip
I don’t pay for any of those programs that help you organize your book and mythos. I write exclusively on Apple Notes, MS Word, and Google Suite (and all are free to me). I have folders on Apple Notes with more words inside them than the books they’re written for.
If you try to cram an entire college textbook’s worth of content into your novel, you will have left zero room for actual story. The same goes for all the research you did, all the hours slaving away for just a few details and strings of dialogue.
There’s a balance, no matter how dense your story is. If you really want to include all those extra details, slap some appendices at the end. Commission some maps.
6. The gatekeeping for fantasy and sci-fi is still very real
Pen names and pseudonyms exist for a reason. A female author writing fantasy that isn’t just a backdrop for romance? You have a harder battle ahead of you than your male counterparts, at least in the US. And even then, your female protagonist will be scrutinized and torn apart.
She’ll either be too girly or not girly enough, too sexy, or not sexy enough. She’ll be called a Mary Sue, a radical feminist mouthpiece, some woke propaganda. Every action she takes will be criticized as unrealistic and if she has fans who are girls, they will be mocked, too.
If you have queer characters, characters of color, they won’t be good enough, they won’t please everyone, and someone will still call you a bigot. A lot of someones will still call you a bigot.
Do your due diligence and hire your army of sensitivity readers and listen to them, but you cannot please everyone, so might as well write to please yourself. You’re the one who will have to read it a thousand times until it’s published.
7. Your “original” idea has been done before, and that’s okay
Stories have been told since before language evolved. The sum of the parts of your novel may be original, but even then, it’s colored by the media you’ve consumed. And that’s okay!
How many Cinderella stories are there? How many high fantasies? How many books about werewolves and witches and vampires? Gods and goddesses and celestial beings? Fairies and dragons and trolls? Aliens, robots, alien robots? Romeo and Juliette? Superheroes and mutants?
Zombies may be the avenue through which you tell your story, but it’s not *just* about zombies, is it? It’s about the characters who battle them, the endurance of the human spirit, or the end of an era, the death of a nation. So don’t get discouraged, everyone before you and everyone after will have written someone on the backs of what came before and it still feels new.

Let’s go side stories!! ✨
💚 Green but for a Season 💚
🎵 Uptown girl, he’s been living in his uptown world. I guess he’s never had a backstreet guy, I bet his father never told him why 🎵
- I really love a man from humble beginnings making his way in the world. Jord earned his place as captain through sheer competence and I respect the hell out of him for it. I’d rather follow him into battle than some officer who got there by being a landlord’s son.
- Fun fact! When I imagined Jord as I read Captive Prince, he looked a lot like an ever so slightly shorter Aragorn.
- Imagine being the guy who slept through the fight with Govart. I swear you’d wake up and think everyone was fuckin playing you like “OMG Prince Laurent absolutely MURKED Govart with a sword!!” I swear I’d need a solid 3-5 business days to make sure I wasn’t being pranked.
- Okay so my heart hurts for grieving lil Laurent asking why Jord stayed after Auguste’s death. He had so much faith in his brother and loved him so much.
- Haha! Auguste indirectly chose Jord to protect Laurent! Haha! I’m crying!! 🙃
- I love that Jord already knew about Laurent’s fighting ability and he’s there watching this fight about to happen KNOWING that Govart is gonna have his ass handed to him by Tinkerbell.
- Aimeric is out here doing his job and Orlant is like “damn, I can’t believe you’re gonna fuck him.” And Jord can’t say shit because he’s absolutely right. His nice cheekbones and strong work ethic have bewitched him.
- Jord is the colleague you trauma bond with when you’re in a toxic workplace. Strong, dependable, has the courtesy not to use the work microwave for fish. The Regent’s HR should have known not to come for him.
- The mental image of Aimeric standing before Guion like “but daddy, I love him!” Is enough to dull the pain of knowing what could have been.
- Jord telling Aimeric he’s not disposable vs. Aimeric always being told he’s the least important fourth son trying to prove himself and then remembering what eventually happens to him and why. No wonder he fell for this man finally treating him with love and affection. 🫠🫠🫠
- “It’s not you I’m trying to impress” - Layers. It’s about the layers. Onion layers that will make you cry.
- Jord clocked onto Damen and his weirdly good tactical skill early and decided, respectfully, to keep that shit to himself.
- Nothing quite like kissing a nobleman’s son over the battle plans you can’t read.
- Jord is such a nice dude, and I love his character. I’m still so devastated him and Aimeric turned out like they did. In another life I choose to believe they had a happy ending. I’ll take one everyone lives AU with fries please. ♥️

mvm! maybe poly!maraudeers with a wispy, cute, fae-like reader! mischievous but well meaning, sly and sweet; reader definitely tries to trick one/all into giving their names all the time, so she can keep hardcore courting them and they can belong to each other. its a fae thing, and faes like coveting pretty things :] mainly thinkin abt slyly courting them in ways they absolutely do not notice at first, till like, remus decides to read up and study on fae behaviour, and he has an ‘oh’ moment
cute little tidbits that i love :) - shes notrious for managing to steal away pretty little trinkets, and its well known how much faes love and protect their treasures, so as a courting tactic, she gives (im thinking more along the lines of james) some really pretty blueish seaglass because it matches his eyes! sirius definitely flirts cheesily, saying he can be her treasure/pretty thing, she could steal HIM away, and readers just like.. “thats the plan :]”. another little thought.. she definitely manages to actually, genuinely, physically fluster even sirius sometimes, like, she'll make an offhand comment about like, how cute his babies will be if they get his nose! or his pretty cheekbones! and sirius sits there like :]
okay so we all had a tinkerbell phase as kids right? the animated movies of pixie hollow? well, thats how i imagine reader dresses too, however out of place it may seem - like how adults go disney bounding as their fav character, she`ll do that in public but she still has a very fae-ish outfit and look about her. and i cant begin to tell you how obsessed remus is with this. like, hes got his scars that are usually one of the first things people glue their eyes to, but with you next to him? they focus on the suspiciously authentic bag made of large green leafs, or the numerous flowers braided into your hair constantly, or the way you smell so divine, like lavender and honey, or vanilla and forest wood, or the way your eyes are so captivating that they cant help but feel a pull towards you (fae characteristics <3). on another note, you CANNOT TELL ME that big, sweetheart, ‘sometimes head empty brrrr’ james potter does not stare off into space sometimes, lip between his teeth, eyes glazed over and a bit widened, lazer focused on how your thighs look spilling out of your leaf dress (maybe a dress like tinkerbells - short and earthy and sweet, as a little visual aid :) ) the man just wants to bite, like actually bite the fat and grip your hips with his big hands and let his brain go dead. this phenomenon is made especially apparent when you discover lingerie and how pretty so much of it is!! the sweet lace and the cute cups and theres so. many. designs. you must get opinions all round on every single piece. probably wind up with them all suddenly being marvellously busy though, theyll walk through the door, spot the store bags from victorias secret on the couch, and beeline right back out. they physically just.. cannot. they cant put themselves through that and come out unaffected on the other side.
maybe she gets a bit worried/downtrodden one day and ofc they notice. the issue? “why arent you guys accepting my courting?? am i doing it wrong? its my first time so idk if im doing it right :((“ james definitely was clueless up until this point, no matter how many times both sirius and remus have hinted that shes been doing this, but for some reason, hes the only one who knows how to properly navigate this situation. he, quick as a whip, snags a pair of his old, broken, beaten up glasses and presses em into her hand - an offering, a courting recipricant, a trinket!!! - with the biggest smile on his face. the glasses have so much tape around the middle, one of the legs are hanging off, and the lenses are almost smashed entirely, but one mans trash is another mans treasure :DD readers just like “oh :)) thanks :))”, probably a little breathy and shy but with a beaming smile to match because give the girl a break, its her first time recieving a courting trinket of all things!! its like, the human equivilent of snogging someone before holding their hand!!
i only know little things about fae from stuff ive read in the past, but this is just an interpretation based on common things i can remember about them, if any of it is inaccurate im sorry!
(any time i send any of these little paragraphs in, i dont expect anything in return btw! its mainly just like, emptying the trashcan of thoughts in my head into a space where someone else might enjoy em! like, yk, here u go! read this like its ur a 1950s husband reading the newspaper in the morning! lmao makes no sense but then at least the little imaginations and ideas dont get lost into the world of my brain and someone else can have at em :) )
baby!!! i am not educated enough on fae aus to write one (at least, not yet) so i will be more reacting to this than i am adding to it but let me just tell you that i loved reading it!! i mean it when i say that every time you send something into my inbox i thoroughly enjoy it, i swear you write me your own little fanfictions and they're the highlights of my day no matter who they're about <33333
SGSNDF THEY'D BE SO SMUG IF THEY FOUND OUT THEY WERE 'PRETTY THINGS' TO YOU... they keep all of your little gifts tucked into their pockets except they might need a new home because you're just always giving them more and they can't fit them all in their pockets!!
YES REMUS AND HIS LITTLE FAIRY GF :'))) UGHHH he definitely spoils her with pretty jewelry and things to wear and bags to carry and he'll learn to make flower crowns just for her :'))
SGSDNFNSF YES fashion show!! you twirl around and show off the skimpy little sets you'd bought and everyone needs a very long, intensive cold shower after the fact </33
AWWW JAMES'S GLASSES :')) he blames it on the fact that he's overly sentimental that he even still has them, but he's so glad he never tossed them as he watches your eyes shine and your breath hitch when he presents you with them :') sirius probably gives you a guitar pick of his and remus lets you have a pretty bookmark of his with a little golden tassel on it :')
i want you to know that i fully plan on answering every single ask you send/have sent me, they are always so fantastic and i know i still have a few but i just reread two of them the other day and got all giddy and excited to expand on it so trust me i know there's no pressure but i want to do them anyways!!! seriously you make my day with these they're probably my favorite type of asks to get is like full stories :')) thank you for being so sweet all the time and thank you for sharing your ideas with me!!!!

So I'm re-watching the Tinkerbell movies, and I noticed the Minister of Spring from the first 2 movies acting as a conductor for the fairy theater in the second movie.
(I'm not familiar with any of the actual fairy lore, just the movies.)
So my theory is that all those head fairies started off as normal fairies and then got promoted.
I don't know if they're theater fairies or art fairies but the Minister of Spring clearly started off as that kind of fairy.
My theory for Queen Clarion is that she started off as a theater fairy as well because she uses pixie dust to make her entrance like how the theater fairy tells her story in the 2nd movie (lol her dramatic entrances are coz she's a theatre kid. Could also be why she and Milori had a forbidden romance lol). Either that or she was a dust-talent fairy because she has a special connection with pixie dust.
Fairy Mary and Fairy Gary are next in hierarchy, of their respective guilds.
In the future, we might have seen the following fairies be promoted to heads of their respective guilds, or something else entirely, like The Keeper in the Winter Wood
Tinkerbell and Vidia because they possess more raw talent than the average fairy
Chloe from Pixie Hollow Games because she had the most spirit and got the garden fairies out of their rut. But we can't discount the fact that the garden faries were going through failures year after year, while this was Chloe's first ever. Maybe all the garden fairies were excited in their first year
Zarina might be a contender for the dust talent fairies or something like The Keeper
For the next Queen Clarion, since her post is more of a managerial thing, we're looking for someone who possesses soft skills and also would enjoy a managerial post
I suggest Glimmer from Pixie Hollow Games, because she valued ethics and made the hard decision of losing over winning dishonestly, and she also saved Rumble's face by not exposing him in front of Queen Clarion or any of the other fairies in the audience
Glimmer might be the next Queen Clarion because she was honest, and she motivated Rumble even though he didn't motivate her back, and at the end that wasn't what made her snap, it was his dishonest tactic where she drew the line
Like how in MLP:FiM there wasn't a princess for the Earth ponies, Unicorns etc, you were promoted based on abstract concepts like friendship and love.
Like how The Keeper of All Fairy Knowledge exists, we cannot discount abstract concepts as a means for a "promotion". So maybe Fairy Mary & Tinkerbell, and Fairy Gary & Terence & Zarina, can be promoted at the same time despite being in the same guilds.
(haven't re-watched Neverbeast yet)
Tagging @sailorplanet1997 because idk who else from my mutuals are Tinkerbell fans ✨

This is the OC fairy 🌼🧚‍♀️ When you get this in your ask box, please tell us three facts or trivia about one of your OCs, then pass it on to someone else 🩷 Let's learn about each other's OCs! 💛💐 (no pressure to do this if you'd rather not!)
My man, Tinkerbell has come and asked me to share my oc facts pfft-- okay, let's get down to work.
ᯓ★1.Like I mentioned in OC interview, Jemíma is familiar with authentic Mexican cuisine and she enjoy cooking traditional dishes for her teammates (Keegan is obsessed while Hesh, Ajax, and Kick beg her to make the same food again because they enjoyed it so much.) She knows how to make a bean homemade salsa, tacos, tamales, quesadillas, or other classic Mexican recipes. Her teammates appreciate her culinary skills and look forward to trying her more delicious home-cooked meals.
ᯓ★2.Besides cooking and marksmanship, Jemima has a wide range of skills and abilities. She may be proficient in hand-to-hand combat, stealth, survival skills, and tactical planning, as well as being able to use a variety of weapons and equipment.
ᯓ★3.She's a coffee addict and can't function without her morning cup of coffee. Jemíma has a competitive streak and can't resist a good challenge, especially if it involves a friendly competition with Keegan at something. Despite her serious and professional demeanor, she has a hidden sarcastic witty side and enjoys making bad puns and jokes to lighten the mood.

I gotta ask, where do you find your inspiration for your creative writing? I find your style very endearing and easy to read, but doesn't sacrifice complexity. It's rather enjoyable 😁
Thank you. It's really great to hear that someone is getting enjoyment from my works.
My style... I think it just developed from mainly writing and being an avid reader, and I read a lot (novels, smut, and fan-fiction). Then later in life several of my previous jobs required writing funding proposals and reports, where you had to detail things out in a concise, but easily to follow way (in order to get money or keep it).
I do FEEL though the biggest influence on how my writing has developed was me taking the chance and posting works on Fanfiction.net. I took the advice of reviewers, and watched what stories people were reading. I started not being afraid of trying new things, and took the feedback presented even if negative as tips on how to improve, be it through word choice, plot structure, etc. I will point out... I LOVE feed back... even if it is negative and pointing out flaws in my style, technique, theme, characters, plot, etc... all I ask is you be civil.
So I think it's mainly due to just constantly practicing and trying new tactics/themes. (I know clear as mud)
Generally I feel the flow of my prose comes easily due to the way I write. I am absolutely terrible at the whole plotting thing. (I am working on it) and because of that I write quite a lot of my stuff as "stream on conciseness"... I write as I'm imagining the story, and just going with the flow.
My ideas and inspiration is a little more easy to quantify. I have a VERY active imagination, and also considering I am certifiable (I have Bipolar 2)... things just jump into my head, and I run with them. For Example : "Things Best Left... ALONE" came from me looking for an anime to watch and seeing one titles "Bottle Fairies", and I was like that's neat (I have yet to watch it) and then I remembered a short story from a Fantasy Anthology about a boy who catches a fairy. In that story fairies were not cute little Tinkerbells... they were vicious... and long story short the ending has the fairies escaping during the night... and the boy being very afraid due to fairies having "very sharp teeth".
I feel I should also point out... I prefer my fantasy worlds to the real one, and this has been a large part of my whole life, from when I was a child until now.
Plus... I tend to write things I have had experience inor dealing with... at least when it comes to feelings. I have TBH tried to commit suicide several times (which is one of the reasons I put so much in my writing... it helps me through those dark times), so I know what depression FEELS like. I also spent 20 years trying to make a life with a partner that had a severe alcohol addiction.
And that was a long ramble. TLDNR ... I'm a mess, and I'm just lucky to have a talent at stringing words together. LOL, not really.
My advice to ANYONE who wants to write, draw, paint, carve, do pottery... just do it. The more you do, the more your style will develop. So what if someone doesn't like your stuff... if they offer CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on what you can improve on... take it. If there being assholes... ignore them. But you HAVE to be willing if you want to develop as an artist, to fail, and to succeed.
But most of all... do it for yourself. I write stuff I wouldn't mind reading if someone else published it.
I hope somehow I have answered you ask... I have a feeling I kind of went around what you wanted... so feel free to hit me again if I missed the mark or if you want more information.
THANK YOU for taking the time to submit this ask.

newest threat part 2
Snow White returns to her ready room and sits behind her desk. She contemplations her next course of action. She is concerned for her crew's safety but needs to figure out a way to defend them and take out the Dalek threats.
The warning alarms blared as the USS Fairytale came under attack. At the same time, Snow White heard explosions coming from outside the ship. She quickly went to the bridge.
Lieutenant Aurora: "Captain, we are under attack from an unknown source."
Commander David: "We're on it. They won't get through us so quickly. The shields are holding for now, but we need to find out what's attacking us."
Snow White: "It's obvious who's attacking us. It's the Daleks. They've come to finish the job. Lieutenant Aurora, evasive maneuvers. Commander David, send us into red alert. We're in for the fight of our lives."
Lieutenant Aurora: "Yes, ma'am!"
Commander David: "On it, Captain!"
Snow White: "Good. How are we holding up? What's the power level on our shields? Return fire and use everything we've got."
Lieutenant Aurora: "Shields at 87% and failing. We need to transfer power to the shields."
Commander David: "We're firing everything we've got, but nothing is damaging the Daleks."
Snow White: "Can you take us out? We need to make a tactical retreat."
Snow White: "That's fine. We will find a way to get the Daleks off our backs. Fire photon torpedoes.
David: "Firing photon torpedoes. They hit their target."
Aurora: "Shields down to 70%. The radiation from the photon torpedoes is damaging the shields."
Snow White: "Keep firing. We need to make it to Warp speed, or we'll be sitting ducks."
Lt. Aurora: "Our power is going down fast. We've never encountered anything like this before."
Snow White: "Helm, can you take us into Warp speed to get away from the Daleks?"
Ariel: "Yes, ma'am. I'm on it."
The ship began to accelerate towards warp speed, trying to get away from the pursuing Daleks.
The USS Fairytale successfully escaped the pursuit of the Daleks for now. The crew knew that it was just a matter of time before the Daleks discovered their whereabouts again, but for now they were safe.
Snow White had been thinking about her fight with the Daleks and had an idea. If she could somehow use the energy blast that Saiyans use and add it to her missiles or torpedoes, then just maybe they could win against the Daleks. She knew she needed to talk to Tinkerbell about this.
Snow White: "Tink, I need to ask you something."
Tinker Bell: " yes Captain what can I do for you?"
Snow White: "Is there a way we can harness ki , chakra or energy blasts, and use them in our missiles and torpedoes?"
Tinker Bell: "That's an interesting question. While it is possible to use Ki, chakra, or energy blasts to enhance missiles and torpedoes, it would take a significant amount of time to develop such a system. I can start the research though, if you like."
Snow White: "Excellent. If you need any help, let me know Tinkerbell."
Tinkerbell: That's great. I'll get to work on that right away.
Tink went to work on the new strategy, which hopefully would give them an edge against the Daleks. Only time would tell if this would be enough to defeat them.

╔══ஓ๑✶๑ஓ══╗
Personality
╚══ஓ๑✶๑ஓ══╝
Nyla was always a little too ambitious for her own good. At least, that's what everyone else on campus says about her; Always so confident in her skills, never worrying about potential failure at any turn.
Nyla's confidence in her abilities isn't unwarranted, and that can be seen in the way she carries herself. That air of utmost confidence in oneself, calculating each and every detail from the corner of their eye.
But hubris does a lot to a person, and with how ambitious Nyla can get, it's no wonder why many dislike/worry about her because of how confident she is in herself.
Which is ironic, considering how cautious she usually is. Confident in her abilities, yet incredibly distrusting of anyone new she interacts with — for fear(?) that they're not who they want her to think they are.
Arguments are a given with Nyla. She dislikes having them, but that doesn't stop her from wanting to defend herself when the time calls for it. It's honestly astonishing how easy it is to upset her.
That isn't to say she's entirely a pushover! Nyla may have those moments a lot, but at heart, her friends call her a bit of a softie. (Especially around the animals)
She cares deeply for those she truly cares about and is only really protective of them because of her fear of her friends getting hurt.
Nyla knows she isn't perfect, and at the very least, she can see her flaws for what they are and wear them like battle scars.

Unique Magic: Heart of a Soldier (兵士の心)
⇄ A hereditary ability that grants its user the ability to manifest an enchanted bow and arrow — one invisible in the eyes of those around them, but ever present in the eyes of the user.
↳ However, if the user has a bow on hand with them in a certain situation, they can simply use that, as well.
After firing the arrow at one's chosen target, the user can always know where their ‘target’ is while their Unique Magic is in effect; Using the sound of their heartbeat as a way to properly navigate their location.
⇆ This ability comes at the cost of the user's own heart, however. It will remain in effect for 60-100 minutes (about an hour and 40 minutes, at most) and once that time is up, over-usage of the ability will give the user a significantly slower heartbeat.

➹ Nyla's a softie for most of, if not all of the animals on SHI’s campus!
↳ She doesn't like openly admitting it, however, and prefers to find a private area to gush about a certain animal.
➹ Batshit terrified of ice skating because of Sinan(@jasdiary). Girlie is holding on for dear life, because she'll be damned if she dies on ice, of all things.
➹ The type to have enough free time to babysit Meryl concerningly often. Seriously, how the hell does this girl have so much free time-?
➹ Shooting a moving target is a piece of cake for Nyla! Sure, some of them could be pretty fast, but she pulls through at the end of it all!
➹ Nyla's parents are members of the Briar Valley Royal Guard. She's always idolized her parents, and aspires to become a Royal Guard just like them one day! (Even if she doesn't hold enough attachment for Queen Maleficia or Malleus outside of natural respect)
➹ Nyla's easily disturbed by the way Headmistress Eclair treats Meryl. She understands that mothers are often protective of their kin — it was like that with her mother — but the way Eclair's so insistent on making sure Meryl never leaves SHI is so odd to Nyla.
↳ Frankly, everyone in SHI thinks that way. Nyla and Sinan are, more or less, probably the only ones who openly admit it.
➹ After Delta(@geminiiviolets) had transferred to NRC, Nyla frequently sent Delta letters so the two of them could catch up every once in a while!
➹ Literally a menace when it comes to gossip. No one knows why or how it came to be, but Nyla is ridiculously good at obtaining information and she uses that talent to get as much gossip as she can 😭

Waterproof Paper Pack
When it comes to critical information you need to protect it. In the written form, radio frequencies, GPS locations, bearings, descriptions, OTG maps, building layouts, people timings/movements all need to be protected. The simplest method to that is waterproof paper. If its important enough to write down its important enough to protect it.
You can clip these sheets to your kneeboard, (Available In Store) notepad or other writing method and know the critical information is safe on the waterproof paper no matter what the operation or climate offers you.
You can write with anything from Space Pen to Frixion pen, standard biro, pencil and even a China pencil.
Once you start to use paper this way, you refuse anything else

Peter Pan and Wendy Trailer: Um...
I just saw the trailer of “Peter Pan and Wendy”... and I would lying if I said I was at a loss for words because I do have words to say. Please hear me out and please really listen to me.
I think the actress who is playing Tinkerbell is lovely and she makes an adorable Tinkerbell. I mean, Tinkerbell is a fairy. Her skin colour doesn’t matter, so in any other fiction, Tinkerbell can be anything the director wants her to be. However, I think DISNEY Tinkerbell should look like DISNEY Tinkerbell. She has appeared in two Peter Pan films, her own films, had cameo appearances and even her own TV series in the Disney-verse. And not just her hair and skin colour. Her personality, her outfit and her shows, pompoms and all, are the complete package. Disney should respect the very character, who is an excellent work of art within herself, they created.
Same goes with the other characters. And as for making some of the “Lost Boys” girls... that’s just plain awkward. I am all for equality, but you’ve got Tinkerbell, Wendy and even princess Tiger Lilly or even the mermaids who are pretty badass. You don’t need to shoehorn in girls into a group literally labelled “Lost Boys”. Heck, even Wendy’s daughter Jane in the sequel was a badass! It’s ok for the Lost Boys to all be boys. That’s the way the story goes. I mean, does anyone complain that in Strawberry Shortcake, the majority of the cast consists of girls?
My impression of this movie is that it’s heart is in the right place, but in attempt to be respectful of the times, it is blatantly ignoring key elements in both the original story and its OWN story. And I am left feeling uncomfortable not because I have a problem with BIPOC representation or gender equality. But because I am all for it, but not when it is done as a means of selling a buck or as what will be used as a guilt card in case you don’t like the movie (which is a total low blow and an insult to everything representation stands for).
In short, I do not like being gaslighted and I do NOT fall for it. I am not rigid, but I am not mush either. I mean, I just said that in any other media, ANY of the characters of Peter Pan could be BIPOC since the setting takes place in London which is a pretty diverse society to begin with and was even back then. What I did say, Disney Peter Pan has character designs that are now a permanent part of the lore and changing them at this point looks weird and like a selling point tactic.
Please don’t hate me. I don’t hate the actors nor do I blame them. If anything, I believe they deserve better too.
PS: If you want to see a version of Peter Pan that is progressive in all of the ways done right, I strongly suggest the underrated gem Hook directed by Steven Spielberg.

*clicks read more on Linden's tag*
Why can't this be my required reading. This is so much better. How do I cite tumblr tags??? *frantically flipping through academic websites*
hhhhHHHHH i'm. thank you so much i am once again flooded with too much delight to formulate words
i'm very glad ur enjoying my tags & finding them useful for u!! tbh i just. have so many opinions. any given topic my brain will write an essay about given 4 minutes and an internet connection, at this point my family is actively encouraging me to make a youtube channel for video essays just so i'll stop delivering meta-sociological critiques of like, Godzilla King of Monsters in the middle of the movie
#it is a Problem#and i do have a word document listing all the potential topics for this hypothetical youtube channel#i've got a script halfway drafted for one on Phantom of the Opera and the dissonance of alterity-as-class distinction#(it's about the MASQUERADE of it all)#(i wrote an essay on tumblr abt it already because. see previous abt talking through movies)#(but i am Very Much Not Done with the subject)#(WHO CAN WEAR A MASK? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE UNMASKED? HOW CAN A PHANTOM SURVIVE?)#(what ''class'' is the monster? if the monster has to mask to participate even partially in the social system -#how do we differentiate from the mask of the monster and those of the wealthy? are we all just commoners underneath?)#(is there any validity to the social hierarchy at all?)#(and if the truth is that our faces are meaningless - if the truth is that our voices ring out the same no matter what masks we wear -#- how are we to maintain this mask-based hierarchy? the constant dissonance it entails when we can hear each others' voices all the time#...anyway. lots of thoughts)#so hey if anyone would be interested in watching me spend 20-odd minutes talking about the unexamined themes in public storytelling#let me know and it'll be more likely to happen#my sister already said ''i can't read that essay u wrote on tinkerbell‚ oceans 8 and fem-focused marketing but i'd watch a video of it''#so like. that's already a 200% boost in the odds of execution right there#drop me a note if ur interested in like. the ecofascist overtones in Godzilla KoM & its connections to Gaia & ''stewardship'' theory#or the divorce of problematic themes from modern problems and why those themes still suck: a Star Wars Drones apologia#or how The Mysterious Benedict Society broke down the nuances of social fears as a power tactic in a purely theoretical & kid-friendly way#i got all kinds of opinions you name it i've got thoughts about it#anyway! this got off track but hey that's what tags are for (i guess?). my point was: thank u so much lunar#i'm v v glad (and honoured!!) to hear my tags are a fun (& kinda academic !! doubly honoured) read for u!!#ask linden#linden in the tags

The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe
Tumblr media
The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe My rating: 1 of 5 stars The Dark One is a continuation of The Never King, and it really should have been one longer book. Ending every book on a cliffhanger, especially when said books are 200 pages long, is lazy writing. It's a cheap tactic to piss off your readers, so they feel obligated to buy the next book to know what happens. If the author had taken the time to storyboard and plot, if she took the time to edit and get beta readers and IDK, maybe do some research, this could have been a lot better. Instead, we're given something that should be available for free on Wattpad....honestly, more like Literotica. Both books contain fragments, grammatical/spelling errors, repeating one-sentence paragraphs, stilted dialogue and plot holes. There are barely any descriptions of people, places and things. While The Dark One gets a little better at describing places, that's all we get. Imagining Neverland is very difficult--in fact, that's one of the big reasons I dislike this book so much. Nikki is borrowing the world of Peter Pan, yet she's expanded it to give us several more islands, but we know next to nothing about any of them. We know one is called Everland, and one is called Darkland. (How original.) There is next to no immersion. The plot makes no sense, and the sex comes at the most inopportune moments. All the boys ever think about is how bad they want to fuck Winnie. I find it a bummer that Nikki only cares about writing sex. I expected to read a book about Neverland. I expected to understand the world and its magic but nope. So in The Never King. Winnie Darling, a distant relative of Wendy Darling, gets kidnapped by Peter Pan. According to her mentally unstable mother, Merry (who is a prostitute), Peter Pan will come for her on her 18th birthday and 'break her'. Her mother never shares why Peter will come for her, and she never clarifies how he's going to break her. Peter has been doing this to all the women in the Darling family for generations. You would think Merry would tell her daughter what to expect. We later find out that Peter is kidnapping Darlings because the original Darling stole his shadow and hid it away. Why? Because Tinkerbell was jealous and convinced her to do it, somehow. Then, when she was finished, Tinkerbell killed her so he can't find his shadow and then Pan killed Tinkerbell in revenge. Peter spends the next however many years taking female Darlings from their homes when they turn 18 to extract memories from them...because apparently, they can retain their ancestor's memories. Why age 18? Was it simply so the story could have that sexual undertone? Because there was a huge emphasis on Winnie 'just turning 18' in the previous book and like...yet another reason why this book feels supremely icky. Also, why is it only the daughters that get taken? In the original story, the daughters of Wendy's line fly with Peter, but that's wholesome. This makes no sense. What about Darling sons? If the Darling women are already aware of their fate, why would they continue to have children willingly? Did no one ever take a male Darling to Neverland to see if he might also retain his ancestor's memories? What if that was the problem all along? What is it about the female mind that allows them to have this quirk?? If Nikki had actually plotted this book perhaps these are things she could've addressed and explained. When Peter takes Winnie to Neverland, he clarifies to all the Lost Boys that they're not allowed to touch her(in a sexual way, of course.) Peter says that fucking the Darlings is how they got into this mess in the first place. And it's later explained that Peter was in love with OD, so I assume this means they slept together. Naturally, that makes Tinkerbell jealous, and she goes about her shadow stealing. So Peter creates this rule that the Lost Boys can't touch the Darlings anymore even though the one who killed the OD in the first place is no longer alive. Then Winnie shows up, and it takes a grand total of two days for them to break the rule. And what happens? Nothing. There are no consequences at all. So what was the point?! Also, sex with the Lost Boys is so good that Winnie decides she wants to live in Neverland forever. She's known these boys a total of maybe 3 or 4 days at best, and she is ready to live with them FOREVER. And that's it. That's your summary of The Never King, pretty much. Now we're onto book two. Now, if this had been one longer book, Nikki could have spent time fleshing out the different islands of Neverland. She could have spent time creating actual personalities for her 97 POV characters so that they didn't all sound like one single entity. The Dark One begins where The Never King left off, which furthers my belief that it should have been ONE BOOK. Peter opens the box that contains his shadow and TWO pops out. WOW. So far, I've got no idea what a shadow does in this world. In Barrie's version, the shadow represents Pan's inability to age. And there are theories that it's supposed to mean that Pan is dead. But in this, we have both a life and a death shadow. So, who knows what that means? I know having a death shadow makes you Neverland's Dark One. Now, I was under the impression that Vane was Neverland's Dark One, but apparently, he is the Dark One on a different island. Can you guess which island? DARKLAND. Also, the Dark One makes me think of Once Upon a Time and Rumplestiltskin and how Peter Pan was his father. I'm convinced that's where Nikki got 95% of her Inspo for this. I wish there were more information on the faeries of this world. I'm far more interested in the mechanics of Neverland than anything else. I'm curious as to how Neverland is compared to the real world. They live in a giant tree but have a working stove and light switches. They somehow can brew coffee with an actual coffee machine. I know there's a magical lagoon, I know that they find Hook in a place called DARLINGTON(lmao, what?!). That's about all I know because Winnie spends the rest of her time fucking the Lost Boys or thinking about how she wants to fuck the Lost Boys. And don't give me that excuse of 'this is a fantasy. It doesn't need to be explained." That's precisely WHY it needs to be explained. What's the point of writing a fantasy novel if you're not going to tell us about the world you've built? This book is only about fucking the Lost Boys(which, if you want to write all about sex, there is nothing wrong with that. Go for it. More power to you. But why choose a fairytale centered around children?) It's never explicitly stated if these things exist because of Neverland's magic, they're just there, and I'm supposed to accept it. When I read fantasy of any sort, I'm always wondering how things work. That's what happens when you read something, guys. Back on track. Now that Winnie is permanently staying in Neverland, Pan and the Lost Boys, except Vane, are no longer interested in the other girls in Neverland. Or as they're so kindly called 'lost pussy.' And this all has to do with Winnie. They don't want her to see them interact with other girls because it'll hurt her fee-fees. But again, they have known her for FOUR DAYS at this point. Maybe a bit more. What is so special about Winnie that it's changing the personality of every single boy she meets? (Not that they had much character, to begin with, that is.) Kas is even willing to forgo getting his wings back for her. The answer? Nothing. Winnie has absolutely nothing unique or special except that she doesn't care that she was kidnapped and gang-banged. They think of her as fuck doll basically--if I have to hear them call her 'our Darling' one more time, I'm going to vomit. I know Winnie acts like it's all cute and like a unique nickname, but they called every Darling that came to Neverland Darling. If you wanted to make it memorable, they would call her by her real name. Or like Vane did exactly one time 'Win'. And like it's OK, I guess if you want to write about a girl just there to get fucked(I don't get that as a kink but whatever), I still don't understand why these boys are so invested in Winnie. I don't get why Vane, the meanest and scariest out of all of them, rescued her from having her mind broken. What was the point of even GOING to the fae palace? He repeatedly rebuffs her advances, tells her no, and tells her to back off, but she doesn't listen because she's determined to have him. She even goes as far as to start trying to unbutton his pants, and then when he attacks her for it, everyone acts like he was in the wrong. But in reality, she was the one who assaulted him. She's a repeat assaulter. She even shoved her hand down Kas and Bash's pants when they told her they weren't in the mood to entice them to fuck her. We know nothing about Winnie except that she likes sex. We know that her prostitute neighbor was "the best" and taught her to use her body to get what she wanted from an extremely young age. Remember, by the end of this book, Winnie just turned 18 like a week ago, and she claims to have been having sex for years. So, she was groomed by this neighbor and nowhere is this depicted as evil. There's nothing wrong with enjoying sex, but THIS is not okay. I don't think there's anything wrong with having multiple partners, nor do I find experimenting as a teenager wrong. Winnie's behavior could be understandable if it were made clear that her neighbor groomed her, and it was not okay, but it's talked about if it's a great thing and only her insane mother was the problem. (Let's not mention that that was Pan's fault.) I understand that Stockholm syndrome happens, but it takes TIME to happen. Not two days. It's a gradual thing, ya'll. It's a psychological thing. If Winnie were trying to sleep with everyone as a way to one-up and escape, I'd understand that. But she's doing it because she is desperate for their attention, which I don't get. Like...Idk, man; I just don't get it. There's a point where Winnie feels literal envy for coffee steam because it's closer to Peter's face than she is????? She is so pathetic; I can't even. Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand the desire to write about sex with "just-18-year-olds". As a grown-ass woman, at least write about ADULTS having sex. Not freshly turned 18 girls. It's the same as a man obsessing over 'barely legal 18 years old!!!' porn. Winnie is infantilized constantly. When they talk about her appearance, they call her tiny and weak and skinny all the time(yet, she murdered a pirate without even breaking a sweat and super quickly, too??) and then they call her a little girl all the time. It's disgusting. There is a hefty emphasis on her age in The Never King and how the Lost Boys are meant to look like teenage boys who are all supposedly super hot. The line was, "boys with the presence of men." Like...Nikki, you are married with a child. What are you doing? EDIT: I deleted a paragraph because I thought the original Darling was Wendy, somehow, but it got lost in translation. I was mistaken. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my b Cherry and Captain Hook also get POV chapters in this. And they're also apparently siblings. Cherry is another Winnie POV because the only thing she cares about is getting fucked by Vane. She dreads seeing her bro but has to make sure she looks cute since she's going to be with Vane. She wears a dress and no panties to trek through the fucking jUNGLE. She calls herself the only girl amongst the lost boys even though there are 'town girls' at the Never Tree ALL THE TIME. And since everyone on Neverland supposedly never ages, she would have seen all the past Darlings when they came to Neverland since Hook kidnapped Wendy at some point and used Cherry as a bartering chip when Peter retaliated by kidnapping Smee. Also, Hook says Cherry was a child when he lost his hand, but...we're told people don't age in Neverland...so does that mean Cherry is a child?? Did this book actually hit the pedophilia mark? She talks shit about Winnie 24/7, which is so pick me of her. "Her boobs aren't as big as mine, and she's rail thin." "I'm bruised cuz he fucked me, Winnie is bruised cuz she assaulted him and made him mad, so he choked her." *smug grin* OKAY? CHERRY? WHAT'S YOUR POINT? Winnie asks Pan how can she get Vane when he’s been rebuffing all her advances, and he tells her to stop trying so hard, and Winnie has an epiphany about it. OF COURSE, MAYBE I SHOULDN’T THROW MYSELF AT SOMEONE WHO HAS REPEATEDLY TOLD ME NO!? She’s so desperate to make sure all the Lost Boys are with only her that she’s willing to do whatever is possible to get the one who DOESN’T WANT HER. (yes, I know that he eventually gives in and claims he wanted her all along, but up until then, we didn't know that, and it reads as rapey af) I want to clarify that this is not a sexy thing to do. I don’t give a fuck if this is a dark romance and that it’s a woman pursuing the man. When you are repeatedly told no or ATTACKED because you don’t take no for an answer, then SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU. IT’S NOT SEXY THAT WINNIE WON’T ACCEPT NO FOR AN ANSWER. IT’S GROSS. You have three other Lost Boys willing to fuck you, Winnie. Accept that and move on. Winnie learns at some point, her mom was pregnant with her while in Neverland. (I have SO many questions.) Peter explains that Merry was someone he and the Lost Boys were fond of, which contradicts every internal thought they have ever had but alrighty. Winnie acts shocked that her mom never told her when her mom never told her ANYTHING. Now that she knows this, suddenly she's like, omg, you're right, Neverland felt like home from day one(what? where?), and he says...he says...that because she was there when she was a FETUS...THAT'S WHY WHEN SHE'S IN HIS ARMS, IT FEELS LIKE HE'S COME HOME?!?!? I want to leave this place. Some stuff happens, Pan gets his shadow, and they all win--Winnie also gets a death shadow. THE BOOK ENDS. At least now, there won't be such a power imbalance between her and the Lost Boys. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sex scenes...there's not much I can say without my head exploding, so I'm going to try to keep this short. Those of you who find this hot....are you okay? Do you need some help? Do you genuinely think getting your clit rubbed by a soapy rag feels terrific? (also, you shouldn't WASH YOUR VAGINA BRO. YER GONNA GET A YEAST INFECTION.) Do you orgasm in 30 seconds from a couple of thrusts and zero foreplay? Because I don't buy that for a minute. It feels like highway robbery that people had to pay for this. There are points when she’s writing from Kas’ perspective, and then literally, she forgets whose POV she’s supposed to be writing from and switches to Bash’s. If you need to look for yourself, one example is in chapter 15. and then once again in chapter 18 when Winnie forgets that it was Bash who tied her up TWO SECONDS ago but said it was Kas. Anywho...that's all I've got. With every booktok recommended book I read I am more and more inclined to not support authors who promote on booktok. Every single one has been of this caliber and it's truly depressing. View all my reviews
