Edgedancer he/him Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 So... have any of you guys seen the new Bat,am v Superman trailer? This trailers are doing a great job of making me excited for Wonder Woman's movie. Yes and I absolutely loved it. Now I have the perfect excuse not to watch the movie. 2
Delightful Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I didn't really enjoy Man of Steel, so it's not exciting to me at all. I wish there was a Batman movie with Afleck first, so we can get to know his version of batman first. Wonder Woman and Batman introduced in one movie is a bit too much I think.I mean I saw avengers before I'd seen any marvel movie except the first iron man......
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I mean I saw avengers before I'd seen any marvel movie except the first iron man...... Yeah, but that movie was made after most of the Avengers had already gotten their own movies, so Whedon had all of this previously established character development to draw from while writing Avengers. I'm not exactly the best source here, since I saw all of those previous solo movies before Avengers, but it seems like that development shines through. With Superman vs. Batman, they're tossing all of these undeveloped characters (except for Superman) into the same movie and hoping they seem unique enough to the viewer. I don't think it's going to work. 1
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 So... have any of you guys seen the new Bat,am v Superman trailer? This trailers are doing a great job of making me excited for Wonder Woman's movie. The November 12th one? Or is there a new one? Anyway, Batman versus Superman seems like a waste of my time. Just my opinion, but Superman was created to be a shining star, not a man who could destroy civilization.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Found a job for a Youth Services Supervisor on the Kansas side of Kansas City. So I probably don't have the "supervisory experience" they're looking for. They didn't put a minimum year requirement, so I'm applying. 3
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Let me tell you a story: Lo, Ookla the Secretive began on a writing journey 2 weeks ago. He dreamed of glorious islands and a unique magic system comparable to Mistborn. He sat at the slow computer and placed his fingers on the ancient keyboard. He sang, and words filled Word. 1,000. 2,000. 5,000. 10,000. 20,000. Words galore! He sat down last night, about to finish the story and pressed the wrong key. The story, gone. The notes gone. And thus Ookla the Secretive wept. This is why I double-save all of my writing. It's on my laptop hard drive AND on a thumb drive. I am so paranoid about losing so much hard work. Found a job for a Youth Services Supervisor on the Kansas side of Kansas City. So I probably don't have the "supervisory experience" they're looking for. They didn't put a minimum year requirement, so I'm applying. *dancey-dancey!* 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 *dancey-dancey!* Off to finish now. I only got 300 words written today, thanks to Bruce and Mollie.
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Maddie sat on my keyboard. Which is why all my relatives are sending me angry emails about the pattern of keys she pressed .
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Maddie sat on my keyboard. Which is why all my relatives are sending me angry emails about the pattern of keys she pressed . Are you sure she was doing it on accident?
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Are you sure she was doing it on accident? With that little gray fuzz ball, you never know.

Kestrel she/her Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Why do people use optics/orbs as words for eyes Are you trying to sound stupid Just use eyes 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Why do people use optics/orbs as words for eyes Are you trying to sound stupid Just use eyes For the same reason paranormal romance authors write a thousand words about what the protagonist is wearing and ten about the world she's in: they lack confidence and are trying to cover for it. That's my theory, anyhow. 2
Orlion Blight he/him Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Why do people use optics/orbs as words for eyes Are you trying to sound stupid Just use eyes Because some of us don't have eyes in your standard human sense but are still able to process visual stimuli through other spherical organs. 4

That's my theory, anyhow. We typically learn more about a paranormal heroine's bra size than we do about werewolf / vampire subculture. 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) We typically learn more about a paranormal heroine's bra size than we do about werewolf / vampire subculture. Which is a shame, because werewolf/vampire subculture could be a fascinating topic, whether not there's a Masquerade in place keeping them from interacting with us Muggles. I can tell you from personal experience that bra sizes are about the dullest thing you can learn about a person. Edited December 9, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 3
Kobold King he/him Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Which is a shame, because werewolf/vampire subculture could be a fascinating topic, whether not there's a Masquerade in place keeping them from interacting with us Muggles. I can tell you from personal experience that bra sizes are about the dullest thing you can learn about a person. Two apex predators, magical in nature, nigh-immortal, and competing for the same prey: mankind. And yet their war, their constant species rivalry, must always remain in the shadows lest their common prey catch on to the Masquerade and wipe them out. And yet, every book that breaches this subject is wholly devoted to things that I could care less about, starting with the covers, which invariably showcase either a shirtless man or a heroine in a navel-exposing top, all the way to the last pages. As Missy would undoubtedly say to paranormal romance writers, Please try to pull yourself out of the reproductive frenzy of your species and contemplate something greater. 3
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Ookla Season is over for me... Welcome back! We typically learn more about a paranormal heroine's bra size than we do about werewolf / vampire subculture. This is a problem with paranormal literature. Who wouldn't want to learn more about werewolf / vampire subculture? (Disclaimer: I am not opposed to reading smut, so long as it is well-written and adds something to the plot and/or character development.)
Zathoth Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Just once I feel like ending a chapter on an action scene, starting the next chapter with the viewpoint of a typical Mary Sue character, who then gets hilariously killed when we see what the main characters are up to. 3
The Honor Spren she/her Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Which is a shame, because werewolf/vampire subculture could be a fascinating topic, whether not there's a Masquerade in place keeping them from interacting with us Muggles. I can tell you from personal experience that bra sizes are about the dullest thing you can learn about a person. This is what made Written in Red such a good book. The subculture of the terra indigene (werewolves, vampires,elementals, other assorted shapeshifters) is fascinating. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Just once I feel like ending a chapter on an action scene, starting the next chapter with the viewpoint of a typical Mary Sue character, who then gets hilariously killed when we see what the main characters are up to. I had an idea for a short story where "Mary Sue" is an eldritch abomination, a surviving relic of a creature called the Deathless Idol that became obsessed with perfection, worming its way into human societies in order to harvest the praise of mortals. 6

I think that kinda happens in Perdido Street Station. 1
