@kvetches
this is so sad. they hate to see a beautiful woman who is cold and calculating and sends her male subordinate she may or may not have feelings for to his death by force and performs various unethical experiments on him and does not respect him as a person and who also nukes antarctica win so much....
okay. finished watching. thoughts:
i think the movie is better than the book, mostly because a lot of the "charm" of this type of quippy genre fiction relies a lot on charismatic actors and without them is tends to fall flat, which is why i think writing books without seriously considering how to make them work as literature sucks and a lot of scifantasy authors get offended when people don't consider their books "serious literature" but like if you want me to take you seriously you have to take your own work seriously first.
i got off track. anyway, i think it also tightened up some of the stupider book stuff, and i like that we see eva again at the end, though if there's one scene i wish they'd kept it's eva talking to grace after he knows about her plan. a scene i think was redundant was rocky almost dying the first time.
i don't particularly like that grace refusing to go on the mission is kind of glossed over though i don't think the book did it that well either, but the movie really makes it seem like he was just freaking out and feeling betrayed (it makes him a lot more sympathetic lol) while in the book the real gut punch is grace realises everything he's done since waking up was predetermined by someone else and the entire sense of self he'd built since is put into question.
basically it's more charming and fun but both stratt and grace are toned down which i don't love. maybe i'll have more thoughts later. or better articulated ones. well, time to do some good old fashioned 4 a.m. laundry
maybe the single funniest twitter comment I've ever seen
okay they definitely set strattland up as something the audience should consider in the film version more than the book. probably so that the betrayal hits harder. but idc i'm having fun. rocky is also less annoying but wanting him to fuck grace is still crazy insane. like that's a spider rock thing
you know how genre books often feel like the author really would have preferred for them to be films
now i'm going to watch project hail mary which will be the first movie i've watched in. a year maybe? because fanfiction acts like it's different from the book and i'm hoping the difference is that there's more stratt and less alien shenanigans
okay i remember now why i can't watch movies. and i'm only twenty minutes in but if you want a yaoi option for grasling, why not carl? carl is nice and human. i don't remember him being a character in the books but so far in the movie he's fun
now i'm going to watch project hail mary which will be the first movie i've watched in. a year maybe? because fanfiction acts like it's different from the book and i'm hoping the difference is that there's more stratt and less alien shenanigans
btw is anyone interested in beta reading my potentially very upsetting matriarchy story?
24, 26, annnd 32 please! :)
24. Do you have any writing goals? (Word counts, chapters, finishing fics, trying something new?)
my writing goals as usual are for my original fiction. my newest project is not fanfiction but i'm going to treat it like it is so for that one i'd say i want to finish writing the first chapter (which should be about 5k words but who knows)in the next week.
26. What is your favorite part about writing?
hmm that's a really complicated question. i guess my favourite aspect of writing is that it can't translate my thoughts perfectly and therefore gives me an opportunity to understand them in a different way, until i manage to polish them into something that means so much more than when they're abstract in my head
32. Out of all your fics, what is your favorite title?
i love the title "man at his saddest" (also the song it's named after will add it below) but i've scrapped that project because i don't want to write fanfic for harry potter now that there are kids involved. my tendency is to make up very stupid sounding titles for my original fiction and here are some of my favourites of those (all of these are from highschool or earlier because i don't want to say the names of stuff i actually intend to idk publish some way) "piper and the paupers", "olivia perl: regular girl", "supernatural" (yes, before i knew about the show. was bummed out and bitter about it for years as if supernatural was the first thing to be called supernatural either) i currently call my newest project "witches in sitches" so as you see i have not improved. anyway here's man at his saddest:
when i told my sister about my current project she was like. you know the book black beauty? i think you'd really like it if you just pretend the horse is a man
stratt literally treats grace like he's her little blorbo. she puts him in a jar and shakes it. she inserts him into every situation even when he really has no business being there. she arbitrarily decides to make him the main character of the apocalypse because she likes him. she sends him off to die and is like i'm so sorry baby. i had to do it. for the narrative
21, 27, 38!
21. What is something that no one has caught about one of your fics?
because i rarely actually post and when i do i delete (i swear next time i won't it's just that i realised i wasn't sure about some details of canon) nobody has really "caught" anything (that's a lie. multiple people have specifically noticed mistakes or asked about things that were implied) but a detail nobody in my family notices about my original fiction which i think is funny is that my characters really tend to have an implied childhood trauma similar to mine
27. What is a question that you never get asked about your fics that you really want to answer?
nobody asks me anything (because i don't post my fics because i always get distracted) so really i want anyone to ask me anything
28. Fic idea you're most excited to get to?
after finishing project hail mary i'm pretty excited to write a strattland fic but i haven't ironed out the details yet. i'm more invested in my rosalie/bella fic but it's difficult to finish because i've made soooo many changes to canon in order to better focus on the part that interests me
thank you for asking <3 honestly i probably have a lot more to say about the original fiction i write. when i post it online because i don't feel like dealing with publishing i expect you all to read
now reading scorpica by g.r. macallister as a part of my new obsession with matriarchy stories. i fear it's not going to be that dark though
9, 11, 19!
9. What time do you prefer to write? (Day, night, etc.?)
i'm a night person with everything so i prefer writing at three a.m. however i need to sit down at six a.m. with a timer if i'm being serious about something
11. Do you outline your fics before writing them?
i do! but i'm not good at it and tend to veer way off. a lot of the things i write start out with a very strict structure that has to do with the theme of the piece, and i prefer that lol. like having sort of a convoluted framing device that is less outline and more concept but i kind of use as an outline
19. Do you work on multiple fics at once or only one at a time?
i really wish i could get myself to work on one at a time but unfortunately i'd never get anything done that way. i need to switch between projects or i just drop them
thank you <3333
cringe!
oh my god i want to die. and also die. and die
