Hot take: Disney should take another shot at adapting Artemis Fowl, but as a series.

My argument for this is that looking at Disneys book-to-show adaptations, they would EXCEL at stories like Artemis Fowl.

ex: Percy Jackson and The Olympians. The original book series was very humorous while also having an interesting story. The problem with the series is that it leans so much into the story that the beloved jokes from the original series are cut. It's so focused on the plot it forgets that Percy Jackson heavily relied on its comedy too.

With Artemis Fowl, the books are story reliant. They're captivating while not having much humour-value. Of course, they do occasionally throw a joke in that doesn't throw a wrench in the pacing. Disney seems to thrive with this type of writing

Movie sucks. Give Artemis Fowl Junior a show.

May I suggest a crossover with Terry Pratchett's Small Gods? In the end, there are only two beings in the bookshop who believe in God's existence. Well, three if you count Satan, but he tends to doubt everything—no guarantee how much of a believer he actually is.

So... isn't God's magical appearance very much shaped by what Aziraphale and Crowley expect? Aziraphale is afraid she'll just mock him (call him gluttonous, lazy, and basically useless) and end his relationship with Crowley (she'll say it was entertaining if predictable, but now she's bored with it, so it should be over). Crowley is aching to ask her a lot of questions, but suspects she won't really explain anything even if she agrees to answer at least one of them. And if she grants him a wish, ironically, he's not likely to survive it.

A post I saw, but couldn’t repost. But I am so thankful I have found it…🩷

Please read it…for me, it is the biggest Easter egg there ever was in GO…they are sitting in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by the new universes, with Champagne in their glasses (to the world - to our world/worlds), with the apple still intact and without wings…they did it. They gave them their ending as an „us“…hidden, but there. And I love it…🥹

Absolute Silence.

Nothing for miles,except what he had brought with him. This must have been how the prophets felt, when they went into the desert to find…whatever it was they found, and talk to…whoever they talked to.

He heard Om, slightly peevish, say: “People’ve got to believe in something. Might as well be gods. What else is there?”

Brutha laughed.

Someday your hands will be old and wrinkled, the skin spotted and bunching over your knuckles. And a child will watch you make something. It's a simple task, you'll have done it a thousand times before. But to that child, the smooth, confident way your hands move will seem like impossible magic. You have to keep living.

[swordshapedleaves]

prev these tags have me crying. this is absolutely what it's all about

[nuttersincorporated]

That was how it worked, no magic at all. But that time it had been magic and it didn't stop being magic just because you found out how it was done.

Oh my god...this account is so dead...

Anyways...

Thinking about Spock telling Jim (in the original script) that no woman was ever loved as much as Edith Keeler because no (other) woman was ever offered the universe for love.

And then later Spock saying without hesitation that Jim is worth an entire universe

It physically hurts how much Spock loved Kirk

[spinaroos-47]

I was looking back at this scene from impostor factory a while ago for a drawing and

There's stars to represent Neil.

He was faced with the same dilemma as Lynri, and chose to try to be a star, rather than a lavender. Even in a simulation of a better ending, he can't fully run away from that.

Discworld book where the auditors hear about the phrase "it's not over till the fat lady sings" and hire someone to kidnap all the fat ladies in the world to find the One who will end the world when she sings.

Lady Sybil Vimes is one of the ladies, so Sam Vimes is on the warpath until he can find her, while the watch desperately try to keep all infrastructure from falling apart without all the fat ladies who keep it together on a daily basis

It ends when Sybil leads a hoard of fat ladies into battle, which ends up being so glorious an unrelated time traveler who witnesses it goes back to his native time starts the myth of the Valkyries

New fanfiction format just dropped, specifically for Discworld*: Just gonch up a whole new book

*Might also work for other series with lots of installments, but it seems especially well suited for Discworld specifically

If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of 💬old-fashioned fancy-speak💬 I've internalized from TV and video games.

Other websites that let you do this:

Thinking about what Wolf 359 did to Sisko and Picard

[unhappytogekiss]

So an essential part of Pratchett's writing set up was Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable

Now this book is great; it tells you the lore behind characters in classic myths and texts, explains many literary allusions as well as the etymology behind certain phrases

Have you ever read chaucer or shakespeare and there's footnotes every five seconds because they're using a phrase that's an allusion to five greek myths and you didn't get the joke? It's that but a dictionary basically

It's honestly so much fun to just pick up, open to a random page and read. I used to do it all the time when I was a teenager

If you were wondering where all the deep puns, references and jokes in Pratchett came from; he had a copy of this on his desk

So yeah, highly recommend you give it a read.

It's incredible how people have been protesting pants and skirts not having pockets but not a single peep is heard over the fact that skirts no longer have underskirts by default. Underskirts (or lining) was a thing when I was a child, no skirt would be made without lining, you didn't have to think and check if your whole ass is visible in a skirt because lining was a thing!!!! Now most skirts don't and it's simply because it's cheaper, fuck the fact that a customer doesn't want their panties shown in broad daylight, it saves a couple of cents on material.

[ladjarica]

okay so this has definitely breached containment and I want to point something out:

Yes slips are a thing but that's beyond the point. It's not just about skirts, it's the fact that garments have lost any quality they used to have and it's only getting worse.

Also, telling people to just buy a slip??? We don't tell women to buy a purse if she don't have pockets on her jeans?? Slips are an additional cost we should not be shouldering. They are often expensive, not size inclusive and unlike a lining that's made SPECIFICALLY for the skirt it's sewn onto, a slip might be too long or too short or just not look right.

as someone pointed out in the tags even coats and other garments have started to be sewn without lining and the purpose of lining is more than to hide your underwear.

The purpose of a lining is to add to the comfort of the wearer; preserve the shape of a garment or add body to it; and conceal construction details and raw edges of fabric, thus giving a finished appearance to the inside of the garment. A neatly applied lining usually adds to a garment quality.

I own a wool coat from an Austrian company that no longer exists (thanks thrifting), and it is in impeccable state. It has no tears, not one pulled thread and the shape still holds despite it being probably around 80 years old. Meanwhile another coat I had bought recently at a store already has a gaping hole where the stitches started unraveling. this ISN'T NORMAL!

Our clothes should last us, we should stop being ok with the absolute fuckery that is fast fashion and demand garments that will not break apart after two months.
