#i digress that the series cast is amazing tho

[bensonnstabler]

if i had a nickel for every time i got emotionally invested in a percy jackson adaptation for it to inevitable fuck itself through plot deviations and unecessary additions, i'd have two nickels

which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

ALSO

On the topic of cw shows now that it’s a good ways into the show I want to give my now opinion of Superman and Lois because I gave my opinion on the first episode and obviously a lot has changed so

Spoilers

Cw: Superman and Lois

I know I said I didn’t like Sarah. I changed my mind. I think she is adorable. I think she deserves the world. I think her character is well written and the actress is really talented so, I’m sorry I ever doubted you darling.

I love Tyler as Superman. I think he kills it. I love how happy and nerdy he is. I mean when his dad comes out it comes out hard. I mean (I watch this show with my family cause my dads a nerd as well and my just likes that I’m out of my room) when he did that little snap and point thing at the football game all three of us were like ‘yup that a dad’. He’s just so awkward as Clark it’s great. Also that stand down scene, with the solider and his glowing eyes, yes just yes. Now I’m not huge on Superman but the fact that they don’t sacrifice him being a happy and lovable and kind hero, that they keep him in character while also showing him in doubt and showing him angry and showing the hard parts is something I really love about this series.

Lois. I love Lois lane. I love that she was created as a love interest and through the years has become her own character. I love that she didn’t have to get powers, she didn’t to be a fighter or put on a mask to be seen as equal to Superman. I love that for years they have been married but it’s still always Lois Lane. I think this show really brings this out. I like that she makes mistakes, and she gets angry and loud and harsh, but she’s still seen as rational. I like that they let her be emotional it’s written as ‘this is a normal human response to this situation’ y’know. Idk that just seems rare for female characters. Also again the actress is amazing. And she’s an amazing mom (she has her moments) and her relationship with Jon is so cute

Speaking of Jon. I honest to god really love what they did with his character. I like how out of place he feels and how that comes out in anger. I love how they make him display emotion. I know that sounds weird but I don’t know how to describe it. I just think it’s real. Moving from a big city to a small town is really hard, if you just really aren’t made for small towns. Take from some one who lived and thrived in a big city then moved to a tiny town in Georgia. It’s hard. And they display that emotion and conflict really well. The actor is great. Obviously. The casting for this show was honestly really well done. I am kinda hoping however, that he does get powers. I want them to manifest in a different way than Jordan’s tho. I think the way their powers form depends on personality. For example Jordan’s powers seem to form as defense mechanisms which balance out his kinda shy attitude. Jon not having any friends and feeling lonely makes me really really really want Damian to make an appearance. I stand by the fact that their personalities would by incredibly entertaining side by side

Jordan. I could have killed him when he broke Jon’s hand. Like on the spot. I still like how they are doing his character. Is he my favorite? No. But it’s a really interesting dynamic against Jon. Also I think him and Sarah are adorable. I think the whole ‘they basically just flipped lives’ trope is actually kinda interesting. Putting them in each other’s shoes. I think Jordan’s trying to find himself, and that can be really distracting so while it bothers me that he doesn’t notice Jon really not fitting in, I can get why. Also losing yourself like Jon is doing can be isolating so what they are going through is pulling them in opposite directions. But I’m interested to see how he grows.

Okay now that I’ve gone over the characters let’s talk about random things

Lana is amazing. I love her character. I love the actress. She gives major mom vibes and I adore it. I love her friendship with Lois. I am however disappointed they didn’t turn her into superwoman but I digress

I don’t like the Morgan edge is clarks brother reveal. Point blank. I like the Superman being blackmailed into being bad, tho. I know the ‘good guy being forced to be bad’ this is a cliche but it’s one I like. I’m a sucker for the whole internal conflict thing. I like seeing (in tv shows and movies especially) how they portray that conflict. I still don’t like that Morgan edge was kryptonian. Did not like that plot twist.

You know what plot twist I did like. The freaking man of steel turn of events. Do know how long after the first episodes me and my dad sat there trying to figure if he was lex or was related to him? Trying to figure how he was a Luther? Like I honest to god did not see it coming that he was going to be Steel. Not one time was I like ‘you know I bet that’s John Henry irons’. Idk maybe I’m just stupid but they had me going. Now I knew he was going to end up a good guy. Me my mom and my dad are like he can’t pull of the bad guy. He just looks too nice. And he does. I mean the moment that man smiled I knew I could trust him with my life.

Okay jon and Jordan running over John Henry irons while screaming was fantastic. My favorite scene hands down.

Sarah singing? Yes absolutely. Amazing. Bonus points for Jordan making of her for being a theater kid.

Jon calling his grandad a coward? An icon. Truly. I was waiting for some one to say it. Also the absolute lengths he will go to defend his family is amazing

The bench dedicated to Martha kent was absolutely adorable.

Anytime one of them pulled out the device and Clark showed up in a millisecond all concerned was absolutely adorable.

I just love them. And I love this show. I know CW makes it habit of having really good first seasons and even some times second seasons then it all goes down hill quick, but I’m really really hoping that this shows stays like this.

OKAY

Things I want to happen later in the show then I’m going to shut up because I did not want this post to be this freaking long.

I want Bruce to buy out the daily planet because edge obviously will lose it.

Because of other shows we know that Clark and Bruce already know each other and are friends so, you know family cook out with the Wayne’s/Kent’s please

Like I said I really want Damian to be a regular in the show for Jons sake. He deserves a best friend who will kill for him.

Kon-el. I need Kon. Not only is it because he’s my favorite character but his personality is so different that I think it would be hilarious

I think it would also be an extremely interesting thing to have happen. To have Conner be introduced while Clark already has kids because that hasn’t happened

Lana to become superwoman. Thank you

That’s really it for now.

Send me your URL and I'll tell you which url dani, you have too many

My Opinion on;

Character in general: i have already talked about how i knew nothing about molly before following about you. i was aware of her existence and her status as angel’s sister, but that was pretty much it. velvet, tho - how could i not be curios and like one of the main villains of the series, despite the few info we have about her so far? i truly love her design and general aesthetic - as much as i like the fact that each of the Vs has a different aesthetic, but i digress. call me stupid or whatever for having hope, but i really hope they do her justice when the actual series comes up. (also once faust mentioned how each of the Vs is the nemesis of a member of the main cast - vox/alastor, valentino/angel - and that forever got me stuck on the idea that velvet is vaggie’s nemesis, just. come on. they have similar but somewhat different aesthetics, so... who knows) again, for lilith and serenity i can’t say much because of the lack of canon info, but? i’m definitely excited to see what goes on with them!

How they play them: WHERE DO I EVEN START FROM. i can only repeat myself when it comes to molly - because the work you did with her was and still is HUGE. you basically built a whole canon muse from scratch (and very originally!) and made her so realistic that i’m going to be a bit disappointed if she isn’t like your molly in case she appears in the actual series. same thing with velvet! maybe i’m a sucker for female characters that look all cute and nice and then can actually kill in a hundred different ways, but HNNN. i just love her. like you did with molly, you gave her so much depth and a complex personality and so much stuff and issues to explore. i really like how she does seem to go through her own personal hell despite being an Overlord - her nightmares and her relapses and all the headcanons you wrote about these topics. it’s something i’ve never seen anywhere and it’s very fitting! it actually got me thinking that my valentino doesn’t really go through some kind of eternal punishment, and seeing you doing this kinda pushed me to come up with something myself. (i have absolutely failed so far.) you get a golden star for that, kiddo again, i haven’t seen much of lilith nor serenity, but i like what i’ve seen so far! i like that you made serenity a very... light-hearted character, in a way? reading her threads feels like a breath of fresh air. and the headcanons you have for lilith and charlie are [chef kiss] more of that ma’am, please

The Mun: dani dani dani - you’re one of the first people i interacted with when i made this blog, and i still enjoy writing with you as much as i did on day one! molly and valentino have one of my favorite dynamics on here (especially with overlord!molly because oh boy, that tension that is just going to pop like a balloon one day), and my val adores your velvet! we haven’t really talked much ooc, but seeing you on the dash is always a treat, and i’m happy with just talking on the dash or in the tags with you. you’re a brilliant writer and a delight to be around, you’re doing amazing sweetie

Do I:

RP with them: yeah!

Want to RP with them: YEAH!!!!!

What is my;

Overall Opinion:

[coffeeandcalligraphy]

What do you like best about writing Seventh Virtue?

Okay anon I needed this because I had a mini crisis writing that book where I :) scared myself from continuing :) oops :) tho the positive is that it’s motivated me to finish Feeding Habits lol! But I digress!

What I love most about this project is how much it is teaching me about something I thought I knew everything about. Though of course I know I have gaps in Fostered, I didn’t think there was exponentially more stuff I could learn - maybe I’d get a fact or two more about the characters, but I wasn’t expecting anything more.

But I was so wrong! I love being wrong about writing lol it gives me so much to think about! Such as: that I actually LOVE genre fiction, that I love writing with “my people” (the cast hehe) as adults (are we all having our hello to my 20s I’m having a breakdown moment together?? Yes!), that I love expanding this world so far beyond what it initially was, that I can go back to and celebrate the most fun things I adore about this series. I don’t even really feel limited by my lack of knowledge of the genre writing it anymore (maybe why I’m stuck!)—I feel excited to continue this story that I literally thought was dying.

I kind of touched on this in my most recent YouTube writing update but I actually thought Fostered was almost done. The last time I felt this way, I was 13 or 14 haha, and of course I got literally 5 more books out of it after that thought. But genuinely, this time I thought “after Feeding Habits, I’m done. There’s no more story here to tell.” And that’s the thing with Fostered - every time I’m thinking “well it’s time to move on and be a grown up writer and write grown up writer things and not this stupid disjointed series you started as a literal child” it surprises me! I could very much see SV extending beyond this one book (not sure if it will, but there’s so much fun stuff to explore). While I think that means in a lot of ways that the Moth Work series is done after this (I don’t think I’ll write a book 3 anymore - but we’ll see, I might miss the story haha), I’m always amazed at the newness that can occur when you let go of the reins for a little. I don’t know, I’m feeling emo about this book because I feel like its honeymoon stage is over (way too fast omg cruel world) so it’s really nice to take some time to reflect, thank you for that!

Also a tangible answer: the romance. I love writing the romance so much. My boys. Oh my god. The pining. Oh my god. The tension LMFAO love love love the romance, in fact, here’s an excerpt ignore if this formatting is wonky, Tumblr mobile things ☺️

Lonan and Harrison sharing their first meal ❤️ love forever ❤️

Lonan laid out each pot on the cold floor, then unveiled two plastic plates, and a set of pre-packaged cutlery. “I hope you’re not allergic to anything.”

“So you cut me, arrest me, throw me down here, and now you want to dine with me?”

“Yes,” Lonan said. He ripped open his cutlery packet, slipped out the black fork. As he unloaded bouts of fried rice, mounds of glossed orange chicken, and a generous helping of black pepper beef, he added, “And I didn’t cut you. You did that yourself.”

Harrison snorted. Oh god, was he starving. He wasn’t sure how long he could keep up the façade before he started drooling. “That’s because you were going to stab me in the gut.”

“I wasn’t going to stab you.”

“So what were you going to do with the knife? Use it to play spin the bottle with me?”

Lonan arched a brow. “Would you like to play spin the bottle with me?”

“If you’re the one I’d kiss, then sure.”

I’m BLUSHING ok goodbye!
