I think this is one of my first digital art original pieces that is completed, and I mean original as in not fanart.

I’m so happy with this one, I didn’t even have to use references for the pose, just for the flowers! 🥺🤧😭 I’m so happy with how far I’ve gotten, and I hope to keep learning.

Thought the exact thing. Speedran the series only point out how many complaints I got about the writing. It’s fantastic visually, but the writing is poor.

So I had to stop on episode 6. Gonna continue watching tonight. I just have one thing to say so far. People think a good adaptation is the one that follows the story of the original. It’s not. It’s the characters. The characters are the ones that made the original so good. And none of them are as fleshed out here. You cannot seriously tell me the katara you see in the original is the one you see in the live action.

The writers decided to take the struggle and the growth of the characters away. I’m on episode 6. So far, Aang had everything come so easy to him, he didn’t struggle at all. Kyoshi fought for him at Kyoshi island. He enters the spirit world so easily, he finds Roku so freaking fast, he immediately knows Hei Bai is the spirit of the forest, out of nowhere. He learns absolutely nothing through those 6 episode. I could talk for hours about how that scene with Gyatso was a cop out. Why should their main character suffer right? He shouldn’t. So they just make up a scene where Aang meets Gyatso and he just outright tells him there’s nothing he could have done so he shouldn’t feel guilty.

The OG never had that scene. Because the OG knew the audience was smart enough to realize it themselves. There was nothing Aang could have done if he hadn’t run away, he would have died. But Aang needs to realize this himself, he needs to confront his feelings, learn from his mistakes, forgive himself and move on. But these days, writers don’t want their characters going through a journey, nope, the characters are just perfect, from the beginning to end.

Same said for Zuko. The writers apparently decided to make him softer, have higher morals, not as angry or determined, because that would make Zuko complex and interesting. He was good at heart in the OG show too, but he was spoiled and angry and violent. He’s none of that here, he’s gentle and respectful to everyone and just wants to capture the avatar, but not too much though. Zuko doesn’t even give everything he has to capture Aang, he doesn’t hire pirates, he doesn’t hire June himself (Iroh has to convince him to do it), he doesn’t follow Aang into the fire nation, you don’t feel his desperation, his determination, just how much he wants to go home. How could his journey feel interesting when we don’t see the dramatic shift in his character? The most interesting character in the show is not as ineteresting when he doesn’t go from a spoiled angry hurt teenager to an honorable smart and compassionate young man.

Yes, the story is fine, the visuals are nice, but it’s all very surface level. Everything is just flat.

So based on the internet this is the consensus on the atla live action series:

Omg ao3 collapsed cuz of a ddos attack. All the addicts are going crazy without a fix.

I’m one of em.

Every once in a while, it’s my duty to remind you that if the guards in Merlin actually did their jobs, half the assassination attempts wouldn’t have happened (which means half the series’ episodes wouldn’t have happened). These guys literally just stand there and do nothing, they just let anyone come and go.

A little thought

Time cuts short whatever reverie I chase, every moment’s rest. Swamped by personal ambitions, the strain of a new semester’s pressures and expectations, and a soon coming trip to Japan, I find myself scrambling for something firm to hold on to.

Not because I’m feeling sadness or agony or overwhelming stress. Well, I am stressed. But what floods me is excitement in the uncertainty for the future and my hopes for it. It stresses me out, of course, makes me anxious.

However, I’m excited to discover what the world may have yet in store for me. At this point in my life, I believe the wicked hand fate dealt me is already over, and we’re now playing a new game. No more horrible events in my life will come to pass, I know. All the strife and grief and sorrow I went through is already over.

Now I’m supposed to heal and look for new paths into the future. Decide which I will take. Whether that is the path to Europe or Asia for my future studies; will I go study in Norway or Japan? And if so, will I study the same thing I do now, or something different?

I worry about my worth and skills to survive in the workforce in a crumbling society where there’s barely any difference between middle and lower class anymore. Where everywhere you go you see divides with no bridges.

Hm. Uncertain but excited. Perhaps for the first time looking forward to an uncertain, unknown future. Isn’t that fascinating?

Sometimes, we all need to hear this. Success, a small victory, is not the conclusion of the journey. And failure is not the fatal abrupt end of it.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

I wanna see if you'd ever do gender neutral versions of your wattpad stories?

I read them when I was still comfortable with the pronouns, but as for now I'm not anymore. I really like The dragon and the fox. Just wondering.

Hiii omg I never thought I’d get one of these through tumblr. I’m so glad you enjoy the naruto one, it’s my fave.

In the future, I’d def like to. I’m genderfluid/nonbinary myself so I totally get it, it’s just a time issue.

I’d like to release a neutral version once the fic is completed. But it’s definitely a loong time away from now, sorry.

I just dont have the time for writing fics I used to in high school.
