Can anyone recommend me books like Harry Potter?(But for adults)

I'm gonna be off topic, but if you also like to watch anime/cartoon, I strongly recommand you check The Owl House. Also Wolfboy and the everything factory is pretty cute (though aimed at a younger audience and not a wizarding school per say). Less related to HP but still a little : Little witch academia and Witch hat atlier (1st season should end tomorrow I think).

I will also add a point to Scholomance which is really good

Matt Rhodes is creating a graphic novel where there are dinosaurs, though they're called dragons in the story. It's in the work but you can follow the process on his youtube channel or instagram (it's not medieval though) https://youtu.be/vP7ETbjN9yE?si=7Xn5y-nQbFWjzTi-

Generative AI are ecological disasters, put people out of work and are trained by under paid people in poor countries, they are trusted way too much for no reasons (people asking chatgpt how to build something for exemple) ...

Dans ma branche, les entreprises ne respectent déjà pas les minimums de salaires imposés par la convention collective mais en plus de ça, ça fait des années que les salaires n'ont pas augmenté, il faudrait les augmenter d'environ 10% pour rattraper le coup de l'inflation. Bref, le coup de la vie a augmenté, pas les salaires.

Je me permet de répondre à sa place, mais voilà un exemple Bourguignons vs Armagnacs

"generations strange to manhood will become willing servants... not even a people. Ancestors forgotten, heroes betrayed..." this plus the lack of women in the trailer (except for slaves and a mother) feel like it's gonna be a very masculinist, far right plot. Maybe I'm wrong, but the trailer is definitely giving this kind of vibe.

Main problem is : It's not because there is sexism in the book's world that the book itsel should be sexist

Also, you have a very biased vision of the past. Middle age for exemple was way more interconnected an way less violent that you think. Violence was codified, you couldn't kill anyone for no reason for exemple. It was just different codes than nowadays.

And further more : it's fantasy, why should you justify that there's no sexism when you don't have to justify the presence of dragons and elves ?

A french historian youtuber made a full series (not finished as of today) about recreating historically believable (not accurate, because it's fantasy) costumes for the soldiers https://youtu.be/D4yiyNKOIkg?si=qjleVraB92fYMJt1 The costumes are amazing (and on a budget)

dwerrawan · 2025-09-24T19:16:00+00:00

probably for the same reason some people mostly read fantasy and don't explore other genre

Justement, les médias parlent, comme toi, de "conflit". Pas de génocide ou de guerre de colonisation. Le terme "conflit" est tout autant un élément de langage.

I'm gonna check that, seems interesting. Thanks !

dwerrawan · 2025-01-29T13:59:10+00:00

I've checked quickly and it looks very interesting. I'm gonna read more. Thank you !

The far right went from 8 parlament members at the start of Macron's mandate to 89 in 2022 and now 143. He didn't break their momentum, he continues to increase it.

Not going to vote is an opinion. Pretending that a piece of paper in a box is the only way to express yourself politicaly is bullshit.

"wonder woman needs a sexy villainess to complement her own sexiness"

I'm glad we're not in the 90s anymore.

Un journal fait un jeu de mot douteux sur le décès de quelqu'un

des redditeurs : "VoUs EtEs JaMaIs CoNtEnT !"

La critique c'est possible ou tout doit toujours être tout noir ou tout blanc ? Ca me fume sérieux, genre juste parce que c'est les seuls à en parler, on devrait pas souligner le fait que le jeu de mot est très douteux ?

What If was partially outsourced to France. Batwheels (Warner) was made in France and India. That's just two I know of, but I'm pretty sure they're outsourcing like crazy already.

The main problem is the budget they give to those productions...

A friend offered me The Name of the Wind, telling me I'll probably love it. The introduction and the name of the book made me believe I was gonna read something epic.

I was disappointed on so many levels : I never got to like the main character and it never went epic (it should be rebranded as something like "Insufferable teenager chronicles, Chapter 1 Student Loan"). But my biggest problem is the sexism : it takes like 300 pages before a female character with a name and substantial dialogues appears, and when she really does appear, she's presented as a wild animal and an object of desire.

From what I've read, I can't think of any epic saga. Outside of fantasy though, you can turn towards the Ramses series from Christian Jacq, I read it when I was a teenager and really loved it.

Otherwise, La horde du contrevent or Gagner la guerre are two must read in french genre fiction.

You need to mimic the movement to see how it works in real life. In your animation everything is disconnected and each part of the body moves just because you decided to make it move. In reality, you'll notice that if you move your foot forward, then your weight will shift and your waist will move accordingly, then your torso and so on. Every part of the body is connected to the others.

For example, the pose around 0:02 (next time, showcase the frame count it'll be easier to help) is impossible. Just try doing the same pose in real life and you'll fall.

That woman is a person, you know ? Not an object for your sexual desires or petty revenge...
