I Like The Idea Of Gregor Being The IT Guy Of The Underland.

What?

My genuine reaction after learning that Ares and Ripred MIGHT have fucked at some point. That Ripred is denying it happened, but Vikus is saying Nerissa saw it in a vision??? Was it truly innocent like Ripred is claiming? I have so many questions that I am afraid to ask.

Also @ripred-tuc-offical please, I must know these rat curses that you taught Ares

Percy: Yeah, I'm arguably one of, if not THE, strongest demigo-

Some random fucking Hermes kid from 2,000 years ago:

So there's this rat, and his name is Ripred

I have had an incredible(y heretical) idea.

Female Iron hands space marine x male tech-priest who makes their augments. Make the tech-priest flustered and worship the space marine. Make the space marine be completely clueless about their obvious attraction but internally obsessed with the tech-priest.

I don't care how much this fucks up the lore.

Let the seas boil, let the starts fall, even though it takes the last drop of my blood,

I WILL HAVE THIS, GATEKEEPERS BE DAMNED.

Some Quick Character Tips

Here are a handful of quick tips to help you write believable characters! 

1. A character’s arc doesn’t need to grow linearly. Your protagonist doesn’t have to go from being weak to strong, shy to confident, or novice to professional in one straight line. It’s more realistic if they mess up their progress on the way and even decline a bit before reaching their goal.

2. Their past affects their present. Make their backstory matter by having their past events shape them into who they are. Growing up with strict parents might lead to a sneaky character, and a bad car accident might leave them fearful of driving.

3. Give reoccurring side characters something that makes them easily recognizable. This could be a scar, a unique hairstyle, an accent, or a location they’re always found at, etc.

4. Make sure their dialogue matches their personality. To make your characters more believable in conversation, give them speech patterns. Does the shy character mumble too low for anyone to ever hear, does the nervous one pace around and make everyone else on edge? 

5. Make your characters unpredictable. Real people do unexpected things all the time, and this can make life more exciting. The strict, straight-A student who decides to drink at a party. The pristine princess who likes to visit the muddy farm animals. When character’s decide to do things spontaneously or in the heat of the moment, it can create amazing twists and turns.

6. Give even your minor character’s a motive. This isn’t to say that all your characters need deep, intricate motives. However, every character should need or want something, and their actions should reflect that. What’s the motive behind a side character who follows your protagonist on their adventure? Perhaps they’ve always had dreams of leaving their small village or they want to protect your protagonist because of secret feelings.

So I was going over some old posts, and I had this idea. I don't know if it's correct in any sense, but I'll post it here to see if anyone thinks of anything to add:

The Bane was the Warrior that Solovet wanted Gregor to be.

The warp is a strange and uncontrollable thing, my friend

If you think about, an adaptation would boost the series popularity massively (if done well.). So the amount and quality of the stuff the fandom makes would probably increase as well. Even if it wasn't in the show, someone, somewhere, would probably draw Ripred in a bugs bunny style drag disguise.

I'm so conflicted with the TUC adaptation. like.

option A: The obvious answer and morally I have to take it. A somber tone overall but true to the wide range of emotions and scenes in the series. Does the books justice and everything aligns with the tone and world building of the original content.

Option B: Ripred gets a bugs bunny style drag disguise every so often

interesting

remembered how library of alexandria part 2 happened when cs pacat removed all the really good writing advice from their website blog…it was so good for people who are 1 on the apple imagination scale…
