I’m glad that I’m alive too :)

Did you know that the movie is based off of a book series!! It’s really good! <-was obsessed with the series for years and is glad it’s becoming more popular

i did!! i’ve seen the series on various shelves including my own library’s, but i never actually picked it up before. i’m thinking i might check the first one out tomorrow when i’m in though :D

I read the six of crows series and really enjoyed it! The development of the characters were quite lovely! I also watched the shadow and bones tv series and thought it was ok!

i was genuinely, and happily, surprised over how well written it was and how immersive the characters were, by far one of my favorites - and i'm only halfway through the sequel.

the show was good! i really liked it, though the crow scenes were hurt by not having kaz's thoughts. i've read the show expanded a lot on alina's character, which was great to see because i found her interesting in a way fantasy protagonists rarely are. very interested in seeing what's gonna happen with the second season, and if they're gonna keep the crows or not - since they can't really develop their characters just yet as the events of soc are three years away

2. lighter or matches?

Lighters but specifically the barbecue lighters because the fire is more far away and less scary skdhdk

i might be totally off but the parallels of c!wilbur's arc and c!tubbo's arc is sorta like snowflakes? like there are similarities between snowflakes i.e all snowflakes are composed of water and are usually in the same size range yet the details of their form are different and the difference is one of the most important element? think no snowflake looks alike? idk if this makes sense

YEAHHHH i love this analogy!!! looking at them from afar they look very similar but up close they’re extremely unique in their perspective and motivations

uhh then the urban fantasy au with psychic detective wilbur ? that one seems interesting! but tbh all of them look interesting!!

urban fantasy au it is!! i don’t actually rlly know which characters count as main characters other than wilbur, so i’ll just kinda go down the list?? also i can’t remember if i gave the warning earlier but phil is a villain in this one so :’‘ sorry dadza fans, unfortunately i have parental issues and he is in my line of fire. anyway i tried to do this without too many spoilers since there’s a chance i might still write it,, so :’

wilbur: a witch with very weak magic and a short life expectancy whose magic focuses on connections. he takes the missing persons case because he wants to do something good with whatever time he has left, only to find out that he’s been wrapped up in this mess since the beginning

techno & tommy: wilbur’s brothers/phil’s adopted sons. techno is a researcher who studies ways to combine science and magic in the hopes of finding a way to save wilbur, while tommy has essentially taken on the role of being wilbur’s caretaker on bad days

niki & fundy: a brother and sister looking for their missing sibling. they hear that wilbur has a talent for finding what’s lost, and come to him asking for help. eventually, the bond between all of them grows and they start to considering wilbur a good friend as well

jack manifold: a closed-off witch with an unusual connection to the afterlife. his death unlocked latent abilities in his bloodline, and seeing his killers get away with it pissed him off enough that he revived himself through sheer force of will

eret: the missing person themself. they’re the kind of person to seek knowledge and disregard the cost to themself, especially if they felt like there was a chance to help an innocent avoid a terrible fate. they also know a lot about curses, especially when it comes to breaking them!

tubbo: no one, apparently, has heard the name before. they know there’s some connection to the case- the last someone heard from eret they were going to meet a ‘tubbo’, but no one can find any other information about this elusive person. is ‘tubbo’ even a person at all...?

phil: an incredibly powerful witch, and the head of the craft family. he has a great deal of influence over the city despite starting out with little other than a disgraced family name not that long ago- he built himself up from nothing, the stories say, in order to have a legacy to leave to his children (the ones he’s not going to outlive, anyway)

foolish: a college friend of eret’s. he taught them the cipher they used to encode their notes before vanishing, but it seems like their close friendship fell apart for unknown reasons. shortly before foolish passed under mysterious circumstances, they were seen arguing- something about choice, and a refusal to apologize from both parties

scott smajor, mumbo jumbo, grian, & jimmy solidarity: jack’s roommates (jimmy sleeps on the couch)! mumbo gets double-banned from the kitchen after an incident where he accidentally irradiates the soup, jimmy is not allowed anywhere near even the thought of interior decorating, scott is forced to act as the unwilling dad friend even though they don't take him seriously because he sneezes snowflakes and freezes things when he gets startled, and the group collectively keeps a list of how many times grian has broken every law ever. also jack keeps accidentally getting their apartment haunted and mumbo shows up once to be a getaway driver and then never again, which, honestly? iconic

puffy, ranboo, punz, & quackity: all part of wilbur’s information network, none of whom have heard of a ‘tubbo.’ puffy is a pillar of the community, ranboo is a teen who somehow has time to volunteer literally everywhere (seriously, how does he physically do it??), punz is a mercenary living his best life, and quackity is quickly rising in prominence in witch society and especially leadership

karl: an absent-minded librarian operating under rules no one else seems to be able to grasp. bring him a question, they say, and no matter how impossible he’ll always be able to find you a book to help. if no one else knows something, people say, karl jacobs is the person to ask- if it’s important enough to you to endure his scrutiny and cryptic warnings that always come to pass

[resurrectedgentleman]

what is he saying to you? (also i really like your new banner image/header image?)

i dunno, let me look

uhh.. he wants to meet up, i think? he asked me where i am, said we should catch up

[rebelpeas]

I would love a septamus heap au!! That was like one of my fav book series when i was younger so I’d be interested in how you’d make an au out of it!

WOOOO i have like four people who said they would read it now so let’s fucking go we’re gonna get our dsmp septimus heap au

i’m basically just taking every plot point i like from the entire series and squashing it into this frankenstein of a plotline, and then adding in some of my own ideas and twists too just for fun!! so hopefully it’ll make sense for people who know nothing about septimus heap, and it’ll be enjoyable and surprising for people who have read the series too :D
