Luis talks about being Luisa's son, how people expect him to be like her and family legacy. He has the line 'I know you gonna be taking after both your Moms' in Perfect Princess, and tells Max to stop acting like he's not just like his Dad. He kind of ends up pushing that same expectation of being like your parent onto other people and I think that's so intresting.

whos ready for red of hearts summer of suffering.

[paperscribbs]

Spoilers but this was actually the plot😭

[a-wonder-in-the-madness]

wait guys... GUYS... I KNOW WHY RED IS SO HANDSY WITH THE FACE GRABS IN WICKED WONDERLAND

THIS GIRL, who has probably NEVER seen any sort of positive affection in her ENTIRE life, literally first thing getting back to the new timeline feels her mom grab her face, and is like OH! THATS WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE.

And immediately does nothing but that with Chloe because that's now the only way she knows how to express her love. Oh I'm crying.

RED YOU LOVE STARVED BABYYYY I SEE YOUUU YOU WERE TRYING THE WHOLE TIME NO ONE CAN MAKE ME HATE YOUUU

With the characters in Disney’s Robin Hood being humans in the Descendants universe, does this means we could possibly get human versions of Lion King characters in future movies?

I always hc Owlette being an internally hyperactive adhd. The kind with an excitable brain, the kind that locks in under pressure, but also the kind of brain that overanalyzes. Very attentive to detail but can hyper-fixate on details too much and ignore bigger pictures. A brain that introspects a little too much and now is too hyper-aware of their flaws to shrug off mistakes easily.

Catboy is hyperactive ADHD inside and out. Impulsive and emotionally driven. Very reactive/hypersensitive to external stimuli. A brain that keeps his attention searching for stimulation but has an attention span that can bolt away as fast as his feet. A creative thinker that acts fast, but sometimes faster than he is able to articulate bc it’s hard to articulate an impulse response. (that time he launched Gekko across the city without elaborating lol)

Gekko’s more inattentive ADHD/Autism. Has a difficult time engaging in/learning things that don’t pertain to his interests. But if it’s even remotely related or if his patterns recognition can make a connection, he has your full support. But this can also lead him to hyper-focus on only the aspects of a situation that are engaging to him (think ‘Do the Gekko’).

But he’s also an empath. Being not as outspoken has lead him to become a better listener for others. And pattern recognition helps him relate to others. And the relatability he finds helps him engage and connect.

Idk if anyone in the ninjago fandom has said this/predicted this yet but

80% sure Arin is going become the Master of Spinjitzu, weather or not they refer to it as an element.

He taught himself spinjitzu, created a new way to utilize the move (object spinjitzu) and it’d call back to the original series title ‘Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu’

funny thing is none of the original ninja really became better than the others at spinjitzu, they all just knew how to do it equally once they learned,

nor did that technique keep much plot relevance in the later seasons besides being a cool move (and air-jitzu), so the emphasis on “Masters of Spinjitzu” sort of ended there.

But they bring focus and plot relevance back to spinjitzu in Dragon Rising with the ninja learning the technique of the same name to combat shatterspin, with that being another way the new show is highlighting spinjitzu more which I really enjoy too.

So making Arin a master of spinjitzu would be a great way to make the series come full circle imo, and they seem to be setting that up with him already (fingers crossed)

Obsessed with how Euphrasia implicitly studied the Legends of Chima

1000% this was the "late medieval period" they're referring to

[paperscribbs]

Currently re-watching Legends of Chima with my younger sister

eagerly waiting for all my favorite episodes and characters

little personal headcanon for the Diamond Cutters:

Tangle: asexual; she’s just never been attracted to someone THAT way lol

Whisper: aromantic; she’s just happy to have friends again, and anyone she trust enough to get closer with becomes family to her

Lanolin: low-empathy autism; she’s very logic-driven, and struggles to understand/express emotions normally

i hope in the new season of sofia the first her amulet summons raya who says "i hope you know that murder is okay" and sofia's "yeah i do"

[paperscribbs]

Gonna be honest, I think it’d be interesting if they did what they did when implementing Frozen into Sofia the First

where, instead of the amulet summoning Raya, something happens and the amulet summons Sisu instead, the way it summoned Olaf instead of Elsa or Anna

i NEED people to realise foreshadowing is. in fact. a literary device. and not a Bad Thing. the audience picking up on your hints is a Good Thing. because. it makes the story and it’s conclusion make sense. and some people will not see those but enjoy seeing them on a second read through. red herrings are one thing but if your novel consists of nothing but red herrings it’s not a coherent story it’s just a collection of paragraphs that don’t actually plausibly link to one another. you're not fighting with the audience you don’t look clever you look like you don’t know how basic fiction works. be vulnerable for once in your goddamn life and don't treat writing like a game to be won where the audience losing is a good thing.

[ineffectualdemon]

Getting to the end of a story and going "THE CLUES WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME!" is always joyous for me whether or not I picked up on the clues leading up

If I saw the clues and caught the hints then yes! I am clever and me and the author/creator/artist etc were in on it together the whole time!

If I didn't notice the clues or got fooled but can clearly see them in hindsight then "Ha! You won this time storyteller! I am delighted by this game we play!' and then I enjoy putting the pieces together afterwards and enjoying how clever it was. I feel like the creator respects me as an audience

If there is a "twist" that comes with 0 clues or foreshadowing at all I'm annoyed. I'm pissed off. I feel like I'm being condescended to and patronised. It's not clever or interesting and makes me annoyed I ended up caring about characters and plot points that ended up meaningless.

Because it's not that these stories don't have foreshadowing or plot clues. They just abandon it for a "surprising twist"

A story that pays off the clues is letting me into the fun and makes a participant in the story

A story that just gives me a "shock" but no pay off is telling me not to engage or get attached or care. So why would I watch?

[s-n-arly]

OMG! THIS!

Random plot twists that don't connect to anything in the story are not clever. If we don't see it coming because the writer didn't provide any clues, they aren't clever and it's totally unsatisfying (and I will NEVER read this writer again). These clues need not be lit up in neon with a parade of elephants and showgirls. But they need to be present

I'm a writer and am rarely surprised. Often, if I am surprised it's because the writer was a dumbass and included a "twist" that makes no sense (and therefore isn't really a twist, it's just random bullshit). If a writer genuinely surprises me, without being an absolute dumbass, I am FUCKING DELIGHTED! I will tell everyone I know to read the book/see the movie/watch the show.

[ardentmystacina]

Foreshadowing is the reward for paying attention. It's the story letting you in on the secret like a co-conspirator because you're the clever little audience member who has been picking up on the clues the writer has been setting up.

It even makes watching/reading again more worthwhile because if you didn't notice the foreshadowing the first time you have the joy of being able to notice the things you missed!

Time to bring up the creator of Babylon 5, and sometime writer on Murder She Wrote, responding to people saying "We already figured this out", once again. Paraphrasing with a bit of quoting;

If no one figures it out, you're doing your job wrong.

If everyone figures it out, you're doing your job wrong.

Of COURSE some people figure it out, they're paying attention.

If you're doing your job right, and laying out the clues, a certain number of people HAVE to figure it out.

"The best case scenario is a bell-shaped curve. Some don't have a clue what's coming, some manage to figure it out, and the majority have a kind of vague sense where it's going, but there are still surprises along the way. If the bell-curve shifts one direction or the other, then you're in trouble."
