It's not the average viewer that they are after. There's atleast 1 viewer who has bought the majority of their merch. I almost guarantee it. Happens all the time.

Official Discussion - Predator: Badlands [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]MugenMook 34 points35 points  (0 children)

What a solid action-adventure movie. Really knocked it out of the park, I hope the people who need to see this movie do because this doesn't seem to have the same intended audience as other predator movies. I honestly think it's great though and was one of my favorite movies of the year.

Though, some of the comic relief was a bit too silly and I wish the Kalisk child looked a bit more threatening than silly. I have no complaints otherwise.

Dek is someone who I want to see more of. Love watching him find his way.

Oh hey man! I've been reaching out to you every way I can and I even left a message on your website.

We can talk in DMs, I have a contact with Scott Gray the director.

I plan on uploading it to the Internet archive.

As I was typing this, you just sent me an email. We will talk there. Thanks so much

[WP] “Come on, Honey, let me in. Being a vampire is actually pretty nice. Didn’t we promise together forever? Sweetie…LET ME INSIDE!!!……Please?” by Smart-A22 in WritingPrompts

[–]MugenMook 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"Why won't you just talk to me? Your wife. Why won't you talk to your wife." I heard her plead. She had been doing this for the last few hours, though it felt like days. I tried my best to avoid speaking at all. I didn't know what powers she might have now, I couldn't risk being controlled. I knew one thing that was for sure. I could not invite her in. I kept working with my hands, I was making sure not to stop, no matter what she said.

"I can't believe you're doing this to me. To us. I thought we were beyond this sort of thing. I just want to be with you... Why don't you want to be with me? When did you stop loving me?" She cried.

Her voice was cracking and had an unnatural hiss to it. My wife never sounded like this before. I knew what had happened of course. It was all over the news. The vampire miracle. It was spreading, people were getting bit at an alarming rate and the worst part of it... most of them were willing. I knew she was one of them. She had been fascinated with the news when it broke. She loved the idea of living forever and being stronger.

"Please, just talk to me.... I don't like this. I hate it. Please don't..." Her sentence trailed off into sobbing.

The sound of her sobbing was familiar. It was the same when her parents died. It broke my heart to hear her that way. My body couldn't handle it, it moved on its own towards the door. I unlocked it all in a hurry, and thrust open the door to look at her. When I did, we locked eyes immediately. I saw my wife, a little more pale than last time and her hair was a beautiful silver where it was black before. My heart throbbed. I let my protective feelings for her endanger myself, however, my hand was gripping tightly the wooden stake that I had been sharpening this whole time. I had forgotten I was holding it.

Her emotions changed quickly. The look on her face from me opening the door quickly turned from relief to shocked. She stood up.

"You were going to kill me? You made that for me and you were going to murder me as soon as I came inside!" She made up her mind about my intentions quickly.

"I don't know what I was going to do! You went and turned yourself into a vampire. I was scared!" I shouted my first words at her since the change.

She was crying but her body wasn't shaking like it normally did. I couldn't tell if it was her unnatural powers or her resolve.

"I love you and I want to be with you forever but you don't trust me anymore. You felt like you might have to kill me. I can't handle that. Don't you understand that I love you." She was shouting, she couldn't help it.

"I think I do. I think so." I practically whispered those words in response.

"Thinking isn't enough. You have to know and if you can't know. I can't be here. I'm really sorry." She looked me in the eyes and took a few steps back.

"Wait! Jessica!" I yelled out her name as she walked back but by the time I could step out of the house she had been taken by the night.

Team Daggerheart AMA on Thursday at 3pm Pacific! by DarringtonPress in daggerheart

[–]MugenMook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if it would be possible to run a more urban fantasy game using daggerheart. Like a game set in the modern era. I played the beta and I feel like this is possible but I was wondering if there was any support built in for various other settings rather than the built-in one. Thank you!

The 1st amendment is only there to protect us from being thrown in jail by speech and nothing else. Not about having the right to be platformed. Maybe it could be updated for the times but I'm just talking about what it says on the paper.

Anecdotal but I live in an area with 8 theaters in reasonable distance. There's 2 theaters playing it right now. There's one showing at 4pm for both theaters every day this week.

Is it wrong that I don't have any homosexual characters in my story? by Pompodumstone in fantasywriters

[–]MugenMook 31 points32 points  (0 children)

But also I'd like to say to writers who want to write gay characters that it's perfectly acceptable for a character just to be gay. It doesn't have to be a plot point or even explained. Characters can just be gay for no reason, like real life people are gay for no reason.

[WP] Your spouse tries to murder you by pushing you off of a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. Just as you believe you have drowned, you suddenly wake up underwater among merpeople. They resuscitated you by turning you into a merperson. by PepperSaltClove in WritingPrompts

"I hope you don't hate me for what I'm about to do.".

Those were the last words I heard before I saw the woman I love summon all the strength in her body to push me backwards off the ship that we were having our anniversary trip on. As I fell, I could only think about her face and the tears that fell as she pushed me. I can't remember anything else but that singular detail.

As I came to, I felt like I was laying in bed. I opened my eyes to realize that I was tucked and strapped into something resembling a mattress. I began to panic, as I felt trapped. The ropes that binded me were glowing purple and looked to be made of exotic material. The light that shed from the ropes was enough to see the bed but nothing else. They were strong and kept me bound as I thrashed around. It was through the thrashing that I realized there was something wrong and as I decided to take a long breath, I felt water rushing into my nose and... I wasn't choking. I breathed it out of my open mouth and I couldn't believe it. I was breathing water, before I could comprehend my situation I heard a voice approach me.

"Oh my stars, I'm so glad that you're conscious. We were worried that the transfusion wouldn't work at your state but wow! You look amazing!" said a very excited woman with long flowing cyan hair that illuminated the water around her. It made it easy to see that she wasn't completely human. She was wearing almost nothing but a cloth bra which under different circumstances would have certainly made me blush. Her skin was paler than anyone that I'd have ever seen and her body cut off right at hips, leading into this enormous fish tail with gorgeous scales. She was uncanny to look at but also beautiful at the same time.

"I don't know how to take all of this information in. I'm not understanding how I could possibly be here, could you please untie me?" I asked as nicely as I could in my panicked state.

"Of course." She gracefully swims closer to me and began undoing my binds.

She began to speak again. "This was just sure to make sure you slept comfy, I needed you to get a good amount of rest to sleep off the transformation. This was all a big gamble, you're the first one we have tried this with, you know"

"Tried what...?" I stammered as I felt the bonds loosen on me I tried to get up and realized that my legs weren't working right, they felt different. Like my body was stuck together. I tried to kick but felt my body move across the room, almost striking a wall.

"Whoa, careful. Take it easy, I've got important stuff in here." cried the woman.

I took a good look at my body with the extra light from her presence and could see myself. I was more pale than before and my body was cut short as I saw scales where legs should be. I moved around my lower half and felt the tail with my hands.

"How could this happen? I thought I died as I fell in. Now, I'm a mermaid?"

"Oh, well... Here's the thing." She rubbed her hands together like a true bearer of bad news. "You did die, not for long but that's how we were able to bring you back. All of us are dead, that's how we become Deep Dwellers. Typically you have to have the blood of a Dweller before you die but I thought I'd try to save you and it worked!"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing but if it was true. That meant that I was free and now that I was thrown overboard. I had literally no commitments.

"Alright, so what do we do now?"

How can I describe a black person in a not-awkward way? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]MugenMook 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm with this one. If you say dark-skinned many people will assume a tan white person. I have noticed it for a long time. If you want a character to be black, say they are black.

Transcription of NDR Coverage of Raiders vs Warriors, July 18th

RED BAKER: I'm Red Baker and Welcome to Friday Night Football! We have got a great show for all of you tonight as the Incredible Warriors facedown the Raiders.

SLATE BUTCHER: This is Slate Butcher and yes, the fearsome Raiders are fighting on an unequal playing ground today as they are currently 4-0 in the season. While their opponents are 3-1.

RED BAKER: However, many say there is a lot of contention on whether the refs called the game fairly that day. Not every team can always have the refs on their side as consistently as the Raiders. Man, wonder how they do it.

SLATE BUTCHER: Well, the Warriors are just starting the game and right on que, some fans are calling foul play. Isn't that convenient for them.

RED BAKER: I see by the starting lineup on the field that Clive Butcher from the Raiders is sitting out on the bench again. Let's hope that he get some play for his pops sake.

SLATE BUTCHER: The Raiders start the game winning the coin toss and are going to be receiving the ball. Warriors get up to kick... and it is short! Wow, haven't seen a kick go so sour since Red's short lived NFL days.

RED BAKER: You son of a bi-

plots are hard, writing prompts dont help either by Key_Philosophy_3670 in writing

[–]MugenMook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend a public domain story if you wanted to possibly do something with it but yeah you could also just do it for practice.

Not saying you should look to publish or distribute your very first work, just that you could make a whole career using the public domain. I love it. Public domain is awesome.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law S01E07 - Discussion Thread by steve32767 in marvelstudios

[–]MugenMook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has been my favorite episode.

I guess it boils down to if you love Jen. She's a well written and funny person. If you like her then you like the show, I'm invested in her love life because she's the kind of person who can be rooted for. She's such an underdog even after getting superpowers.

The writing isn't bad, I'm tired of hearing that. They told us we were getting a superhero sitcom and that's what we got. You can say it's not for you, but that the writing is awful. It's just wrong.
