It takes a special mind to be able to turn an English assignment into art for one of your fics without compromising the actual story you read.
And I am nothing if not special.
On a related note, Masque of the Red Death X TMS US Season 2, anyone?

im turning one of my favorite movies into a childrens book for a school assignment. I know I didn't get the story or details down perfectly but the assignment is to show what kind of hero your character is. I'd love feedback from anyone thats seen the movie (please keep in mind that it will make more sense and be more cohesive once I finish the art for it)(spoiler warning for the 1994 "The Crow")^^ so here's "Eric Draven - The Tragic Hero":
First page:
“Once upon a time, Eric and Shelley lived in an apartment in the cruel streets of 1990s detroit. Eric and Shelley planned on getting married soon. But, the owners of their apartment were crueler than the city of devils itself.”
Second page:
“These men were evil, these men were mean. They’d tore down the happiest home you’d ever see. They mocked the wedding dress, they took Shelley’s breath, and left poor Eric alone in death.
Third page:
“But a crow came and brought Eric back, and made him immortal, to take down the men who’d caused his pain. Eric painted his face with a, sad, crooked smile, and walked in the rain for a while.
Forth page:
“One by one, the bad men fell as Eric paid visits to each of them, leaving his mark behind each time. All out of anger, not pride. However none of this fixed the sorrow he carried deep inside.”
Fifth page:
“Eric found the man in charge of all whom he killed. They fought. But the man knew of what made Eric immortal, and used that against him. Eric fought hard, determined to avenge his fiance, thinking it would fix his grief. He won. But his heart still hurt. And now his body as well. Maybe his visit would be cut short.”
sixth page:
“Each shadow had fallen. But Erics pain was not solved. He still missed, and loved, his Shelley very dearly. So, the city felt quieter, and Eric laid back down where the winds blew, back to where his Shelley rested, and returned to her in darkness. The crow flew over head once more– its dark, all seeing eyes being the only witness of this loss.”
Seventh page:
“So, Eric died a second time at Shelley’s grave. Maybe he wouldn’t have if he hadn’t let down his guard enough for the evil man to take advantage. Maybe he was blinded by grief. But none of that matter. Now, he was at rest with his fiance on this gray, sad detroit night.”
I just remembered the time in school as an English assignment I wrote a wolfstar fic, I made them kiss and everything 😭😭 (as feedback my teacher said she wanted to know more about them)
I'm working on a research project at the moment, focusing on unreliable narrators and how the human mind creates alternate realities as a form of psychological protection! I'm comparing 2 texts for it and I would love to do a magnus archives statement for one of them but I can't think of a good episode for it so if anyone has any suggestions that would be amazing :D

I watch this show too often
An open letter to Kevin Fiege
Note: please do not take this too seriously chat, I was assigned with writing an open letter for my English class, and I decided I needed to diss on Kevin to my English professor for a little while.
————
Dear Kevin Fiegi, (I know I spelled your name wrong, it is intentional.)
I’d just like to start off with a very sincere screw you. And if this wasn’t a school assignment that my professor is going to read, I would be using some choosier words.
Second, kindly go to Hell. Emily, my apologies. Moving on.
Let’s start with one of the most glaringly obvious problems you created and let happen in the MCU- the confusing and unnecessary death of Natalia Alianova Romanova, otherwise known as Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow.
I can understand Natasha insisting that she be the one to sacrifice herself instead of Clint- it fits her character archetype and offers a solid way for her character to die with dignity. If it weren’t such a stupid idea to kill her off in the first place.
Might I offer an alternative to keeping one of the arguably most important characters in the Marvel Universe dead in the cinematic adaptations? Did we even think about Tony Stark bringing her back with the Infinity Gauntlet when he revived half the world’s population? Did we consider at all that maybe when Steve Rogers made the (horrible) decision to stay behind in the 40’s, he could have warned the team about the dangers in Endgame? Maybe he could have prevented the Snap in the first place.
Maybe, maybe, maybe… so many options, and yet, here we are, onto Phase 5 of the MCU and Natasha Romanoff-less.
More on Steve in a second.
Natasha’s death felt unnecessary, shallow, and forced in order to create a narrative with enough drama and angst to soothe the most particular crowds. While we already had very few strong, main female characters, the loss of the Black Widow only adds the problematic misogyny in the MCU. This is aided by the fact that we received only one Black Widow movie (after she had canonically died, mind you) and have three Iron Man movies, four Thor movies, and three Captain America movies with a fourth on the way.
I’m sensing a pattern here, Kevin. A pattern I do not like.
If we wanted to stay on the topic related to misogyny, we could talk about Wanda Maximoff, and the injustice served to her character in Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. The show Wandavision gave us a beautiful narrative of how Wanda reacted to her immeasurable grief, and wove together an exciting story that provided us with intriguing lore and storyline options. However, in the absolute dookie bomb of Multiverse of Madness, almost every single point of conflict and character development that Wanda experienced was completely trashed and ignored in favor of turning her into a villain for the sake of villainy.
A terrible reason, by the way. Literally what the hell. Kevin. I am so incredibly upset with you.
Back to Steve Rogers, as promised.
Steve in himself is an incredibly in-depth character that absolutely lives up to the hype. He’s Captain-freaking-America. His actions are purposeful, his morals and strong and set in doing what is right, not what is expected. *cough cough* When Steve decided to stay in the 40’s when returning the Infinity Stones, he disrupted several important plot points. In Agent Carter, Peggy Carter moves on from Steve when he’s lost to the ice and finds love and peace and happiness with someone else. Steve ultimately steals back her affection from that life she had built for herself, and the importance she completed in her life with that man.
Have you ever watched Agent Carter, Kevin? Have you read any of the comics that you’re adapting for the screen? Have you seen the movies? The shows? Do you understand the plot lines you’re supposedly in charge of?
Secondly, we cannot forget about Bucky Barnes, even though Steve most certainly did. Remember Bucky, Kevin? Remember Steve’s best and closest friend? The man he promised to always stick with, “to the end of the line”?
No, Kevin. Clearly, you do not remember. Steve absconding Bucky was entirely out of character and makes no sense. What are we even doing here?
Thank you, but no thank you, Kevin. Please hand the MCU reigns over to someone who actually cares about the characters and what the fans want (in a reasonable sense.)
-London, aka the one you should hand them to.
i love to write. it is my most favorite hobby. talking is really fun too. i love sharing my thoughts and opinions and while also hearing others thoughts and opinions. writing is a safe haven, a quick way to share my thoughts with others. the words flow effortlessly from my brain down to my fingertips, with such quick succession.
except when its an assignment.
give me a roleplay prompt and i'll write it within 5 minutes. tell me to give a funny review for an amazon product and i'll have it down in 10.
but giving me a paragraph assignment? on a chapter of a book i dont care for?
end of the world. end of my life. end of my schooling career. cant do it. no i cant. suddenly every single word and vocabulary term i once knew is vanquished from my mind and i can no longer form a coherent opinion or sentence. might as well just give me the F now. take me out back and shoot me i guess do it in front of a live audience too, why not. who cares.
So I may or may not have written a Scarian oneshot for my English class.... Should I post it? Would that be something y'all would want to see?
School assignment turned Scarian Fanfic?
Yes, absolutely!
No.
