oh friend :(((( I’d read it for u but I have so much to study for this week, no free time at all
Thank you! No worries, and good luck on everything. Right now I’m annoyed because tomorrow I have jury duty in the middle of the day- and that means at least two hours of waiting while not allowed to read while waiting to see if I get selected.
This fic has been a weird mix of writing smoothly and pulling teeth. And I know who to blame for it *glares*

I’m not familiar with watership down, but i heard it’s super sad? The movie is NOTHING like regular dog movies though dsbuhddhbn but if you don’t like Wes Anderson I don’t feel like I should encourage you, it’s pretty much his trademark writing/directing/aesthetic/dialogue/etc, so…
Yeah, it’s one of those very distinctive directors, and I feel like I should like him, but I don’t. I don’t dislike him.
Watership Down is good, movie and especially book, but has a few sad moments. more it’s just that style of fiction quasi-started with Black Beauty of animal viewpoint, and has a great fictional rabbit culture (like, i bet the venn diagram of tolkien fans and watership down fans is close) But…not a little kids’ movie. and Plague Dogs is, so I’ve heard, Grave of the Fireflies levels of audience emotional evisceration.
I thought you liked hotel budapest tho buhdnjds idk why?? I must have dreamed you reblogged something about it or something hahaha
I don’t think I have. Maybe liked a gif set because I love movies that have a strong stylized use of color.
hehehehe sorry to ask you such a difficult question <3 I also asked Becca the same, just to compare our answers!
Nah, it’s fine- it was actually pretty easy for me to answer with a few seconds of thought. I just in general have a hard time with ranking questions, because I overthink and want to be 100% honest and fair and get guilty about picking a favorite even if fictional (like, that has to be a psychological thing with being not an only child and hammering home the ‘parents don’t have favorite children and it’s terrible to seriously suggest that mom or dad do and even if one did, don’t show it’)
Ah well, I asked bc DOGS, and the story seemed to me like something you’d like, but if you’re not into him then you’re not into him I guess :T alas!
Confession- when I heard the title, it made me think of Plague Dogs (same author as Watership Down, I’ve been warned about it).
Aa~ The very first movie i ever saw in theaters was my mom taking me when i was less than three to see Milo and Otis. Most of teh tiem I do avoid dog movies, as they’re schlepy ‘Hallmark’ type “Because of Winne-Dixie” or “Marley and Me’. I am trying not to get interested in Alpha because, yeah, movie dramatization of first domestication of dog; i’d be obliged to either hate it or love it.
Okay okay, I can do this. I suck at ranking favorites, but it’s only a few generations, so here is goes:
The next generation down I have to put Arwen first, but second would actually be Vardamir, because I love the idea of a ‘nah, I’m an astronomer, ruling as king is too much hassle and not worth it’.
But like, the whole family is gorgeous and powerful and wise and plus Olwë and Ingwë, winners of the ‘I’d vote for you as my king’ award.
Oohh you prolly know this already but the soundtrack of shadow of the Colossus is wonderful and kinda epic and melancholic at the same time (always makes me think of the CoH idk ;-;)… I like the OST of the assassination of Jesse James, and the OST of nocturnal animals…. Btw unrelated but did you watch isle of dogs? 🙂
Ooo- I don’t think I’ve listened to that one- or maybe a long time ago. I actually started writing the current project with Unravel’s OST and that’s been good. Yay, recs!
No, I haven’t. But then, I think The Royal Tenabaums is the only Wes Anderson film I’ve actually seen. (I know, I know) Visually I see clips of his other movies like Grand Budapest Hotel and they look interesting, but him as a director and writer doesn’t appeal to me. There’s a ‘quirky man writing hipster literature’ vibe to him that just slightly off-putting to me. Probably unwarranted, but I’m not enthused about him. Have a sister that loves his films.
Haven’t gone to the movies all summer, even though there were films I wanted to see and I have a really cheap theater close by.
The Heart Wants what It Wants
Worst of all, I can hear my Silm side judging me for daring to get invested in not just in an actual Atlantis but for crying over ‘but look how much this younger half brother earnestly loved his older half-brother and gave up the crown (temporarily) so he could be king and then had to take the job back and then now they’re fighting’ – Bitch, you don’t even like the Noldor or Númenor
i haven’t watched it im sending you my support, that dress looked so underwhelming? Hey, what did you think of the guy who plays the beast, was he okay?
Dan Stevens! which- weirded me out because I didn’t connect it until transformation happened and I went: “Hey David!” The problem is the CGI Beast was terrible and had a bland design- it looked like a bad fursuit, no animation just painting over the actor. And they changed/removed scenes so their Beast was bland and characterless
The yellow dress was worse than thought (CHEAP looking fabric, pinking edges, it looked like a decent prom dress you buy in a mall), the white dress at the end- the doll version was better and fooled me into thinking it was a nice 18th gown instead of a nice 1950s frock. and half the time her blue dress she had half the skirt tucked up so her entire bloomer left leg was showing. Most of the other costumes were fine or great
Yes-ish~
IDK, you have to quantify what counts as horror. The Baby Eöl Fic is my very slowly written foray into the closest thing to straight horror. It’s easier for me to pepper in horror elements in the Tol-en-Gaurhoth and Angband settings. But pure downer ending horror dark fic? Hard for me to say never, but …it’s a thing that the Old Kingdom series and other fantasy that do have horror elements is very influential for me- but I almost never watch any horror or slasher or suspense films or tv shows (I watched the first few episodes of Fear the Walking Dead, but that was a big anomaly for me, and I don’t watch Insidious or Conjuring or even older horror movies. And the only Stephen King novel I ever read was The Green Mile.) The amount of horror in ASoIaF is about it. Or the sort of graphic violence ‘Hammer Horror’ of the Netflix animated Castlevania. So the Kingfisher in a Cage has a tidbit of the gore and psychological horror, or Wall the Heart. But it’s not my committed genre, so I’m not sure if my efforts would satisfy a craving for horror.
Smut… confessional time. I’m more comfortable with my writing abilities to fake a fight scene and write violence than fake a sex scene. Now are there three contenders for ‘I will write you two and definitely have to pull the AO3 rating up to mature?’ Yes. I just don’t know which will come first: Faron and Faelindis post healing, Ingwë and Ravennë’s first time and it’s cultural mandated exhibitionism, or the Nienna visits Melkor when he’s chained in Mandos for I know you know I know you are just using me for sex and how do I go about writing sensory deprivation-related smut when they’re both Ainur and thus bodies are sort of negligible anyway.
Okay, disclaimer about how comic artwork is hit or miss depending on who is drawing the issues and the colorists and which version of canon….
Dick Grayson:
Not My Type | Alright | Cute | Adorable | Pretty | Gorgeous | LORD MERCY
I know he’s supposed to be the prettiest and best ass, and he is usually drawn pretty and while I won’t say that his ass jumped out to me as superior to any other derriere drawn in comics until I learned it was a fandom meme, but he is the standard of ‘dude in comics must be as hot as average Dick Grayson image to be considered a hot dude’- and he’s usually not drawn too beefy like Bruce where it tips out of my personal taste range
Jason Todd:
Not My Type | Alright | Cute | Adorable | Pretty | Gorgeous | LORD MERCY
You get fanartists or Dexter Soy drawing him- and yeah, hotter than Dick. Thighs, dear god. (and arms). No mullet. Better chances of begin drawn with bedroom/sad puppy that needs cuddling eyes
Tim Drake:
Not My Type | Alright | Cute | Adorable | Pretty | Gorgeous | LORD MERCY
Take the Grayson temple- but then make him too short, too skinny and young or weirdly buff chest with still noodle short limbs, rarely has good or even decent hair unless Marcus To is drawing him, plus the fuck boy attitude and lingering classism
Stephanie Brown:
Not My Type | Alright | Cute | Adorable | Pretty | Gorgeous | LORD MERCY
She, I swear, is never drawn ugly. Blonde girls aren’t my thing, but yeah, if I had to pick one from Wonder Girl #3, Stargirl, the various Supergirls, etc…, Steph is my pick
Damian Wayne:
Not My Type | Alright | Cute | Adorable | Pretty | Gorgeous | LORD MERCY
He’s at most 13. And half the time was drawn as a pretty ugly little kid with a pug-nosed gremlin face. Probably going grow into the bulky Batman look. He’s the bratty little brother- you want to pinch his cheeks.
