When will creators of famous and beloved franchises realise that no fan in the history of fandoms has wanted the sequel with the new generation to have higher stakes and more angsty drama than the original.

A Fan: Wow, can’t wait to see the heroes’ children living in a world that has been made better by the original heroes, having a loving and respectful relationship with the hero I loved and respected as a child, and dealing with their own adventure that might not be as high stake as saving the world, but is important for their own personal journey.

A creator: How about the world is ending again, the new generation hates the heroes, who have become major assholes for no reason, and everything is bigger and goes more boom.

Hobbit/Lord of the Rings is the SINGLE exception to higher stakes sequel

hirilelfwraith

and you know why? it’s bc nothing in lotr undid what happened in the hobbit

the hobbit was a lower-stakes story about bilbo helping some dwarves reclaim their ancestral home, and in lotr (the book at least) tolkien goes out of his way to talk about how bilbo lived for a long time rich and famous and happy, and that erebor and dale are prosperous and successful. the threat is something that bilbo brought home with him, but if bilbo hadn’t found it, it would have fallen into worse hands.

the reason why higher-stakes sequels are so often disappointing is bc it’s a betrayal of the original work, and undoes its premise and its victory. in the hobbit, they were never setting out to save the whole of middle earth, so the fact that the whole of middle earth ends up in peril during lotr doesn’t feel like a betrayal. terrible things happen in lotr, but they are better than they would have been in the hobbit hadn’t happened, and that’s why it works

Hi guys, I really hate to basically start 2021 like this but I’m in a bit of a tight spot! Last year, a couple of irls each borrowed significant amounts of money from me to help them and their families get through the pandemic. They’re in the restaurant business and as we all know that industry has taken a big hit, and it’s looking like they won’t be able to pay me back anytime soon. This is not their fault and I thought I’d be okay while waiting, but within a few months of me lending the money my air conditioner, laptop, phone, and one of my turtle’s aquariums broke and I had to replace all four (Alexa play “No Good Deed Goes Unpunished”). I took a second job to help offset the costs, but I was recently just informed that the company is folding as it also sustained heavy losses from the pandemic (💀) and my salary from my primary job keeps getting delayed due to lack of manpower brought about by quarantine restrictions, plus they no longer dole out overtime pay because we’re all working from home.

As a result, with all my utility bills, medical and vet expenses, groceries, my building’s association dues, and my insurance premium, I am currently in the red. Some help would be greatly appreciated and, as such, starting today until a month-ish from now (February 26), I will match all the funds that come in via Ko-fi with the word count for a Ben POV sequel/companion fic to The Heartbreak Prince, which I will start posting in August. Since Ko-fi tips are in USD, I will correspond the word count to the converted total in my local currency (as of this writing it’s 1 USD = 48 PHP).

You can donate to my Ko-fi here but even if you aren’t able to a reblog would still go a long way toward helping! Thank you all so much in advance 😭❤️

Burn This - Chapter 4 Update

wow it’s been a long time, but I’m updating again and hoping I can be more consistent until this fic is done!

summary: Socially awkward and lonely classics professor Ben Solo is having a terrible day when a chance meeting with sexy firefighter Rey Niima threatens to further upend his life. Maybe heating things up a little is just what he needs.

“Chandrilan Gothic” for #reyloween 2020 challenge on twitter, day 11. Mixed media on paper. Please excuse the seam where I had to join the two scans because it didn’t fit in the scanner. 😅

Open wounds. Broken heart.

My favorite form of redemption arc is “I hate that I have morals now”

grifalinas

Like “I realized that I was in the wrong and now I will work hard to atone” is good and all, but “how dare you infect me with morals” will always be so much more entertaining

gh0sthoodie

That moment the former baddie starts to walk away from some bad situation, almost gets out, and then just stops, curses, and turns around to go help?

*chef’s kiss* delicious

grifalinas

This one gets it

And like when they say “I’m only helping you because of [selfish reason that’s not truly the reason]”

grifalinas

“I assure you, my motives are completely selfish” they yell at the group as they fling themself between a giant fuck off monster and an unconscious guy they don’t even like

harvestspriteirl

“Only I get to kill you! That’s it! That’s the only reason! I’m healing you and tending to your wounds because I HATE YOU!”

Here’s a little something I did for a reyloween twitter challenge - day 3 prompt “The Upside Down”. It’s inspired by this book cover. Mixed media on Bristol.
