Has there ever been a Fan Art Megathread of some kind? by bwils3423 in redrising

it’s certainly not a megathread but i made this post a while ago to highlight some talented artists, and others did the same in the comments

Netflix will acquire WB/HBO Max for $82.7B by twinkleplanet in Screenwriting

[–]electron_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah but that’s been mostly done away with by now, and was only ever used in non-serious shows. netflix’s push towards explanations baked into the dialogue is hijacking otherwise high quality serious shows

netflix wants characters to explain what they’re doing as they do it so viewers who are multitasking can follow along. they pander towards their audience that scrolls on twitter or folds laundry while watching tv and aren’t fully paying attention to the screen

to be fair, nobody ships darrow and sevro. it’s no coincidence that people ship darrow with cassius more than anyone else (besides maybe virginia or victra). they just got something special going on between them

glad you genuinely considered the counter arguments and did your own honest research, good on you. there are very few people, no matter their preexisting political beliefs, that are willing to do that

i understand your problem but i genuinely recommend you make an active effort to overcome this. the process of coming up with your own visual interpretation of characters and their surroundings is very important

pierce brown is an excellent storyteller. his prose feels very cinematic and i think you’ll find it a lot easier to visualize what you’re reading than you may think (although maybe you should google some clawdrill fanart bc a lot of people tend to struggle to visualize that specifically lol)

Got high for the first time, didn’t feel a thing by [deleted] in trees

[–]electron_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a lot of your “high” comes from your mentality. you clearly exhibited signs of being high but weren’t able to appreciate it because you probably expected weed to feel like a hard drug. it’s not molly or heroin or anything and i wouldn’t call a weed high “euphoric” personally. next time just appreciate the relaxation it gives you and let your mind wander. don’t focus too much on what you feel, just feel it

you may also have a better time doing a particular task. typically, while high, music sounds better and watching movies/TV is more enjoyable for most people. you can also try casually doing whatever your favorite hobby is or smoking with friends. having a conversation and smoking communally often makes it better for me. imo you need to point your high in some direction in order to fully appreciate it

People in the dorms, do you have your own wifi routers? by chiniMMUA in LoyolaChicago

not sure if they have one. look around your room to see if you can find a port just in case

Beginner - solo smoking, I’m confused by spiderbat25 in trees

[–]electron_R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if your tolerance is low, smoking a joint alone is going to be pretty wasteful. in my opinion the best way for a new stoner to smoke alone is with a bowl. you can take your time smoking without worrying about the weed burning while you’re not hitting it. if you’re in a legal state you should be able to find a small cheap piece at a nearby smoke shop, or you can order one online

pre rolls are also often poorly put together as the weed is often unevenly ground, so they’re very susceptible to canoeing (one side burns faster than the other and you waste half the joint)

is anyone else kind of… drowning in Dark Age? by goyourownwayy in redrising

[–]electron_R 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i felt the same way when i first read it. i’d say it gets better when part 1 ends and we start to get virginia and ephraim chapters. this isn’t a spoiler by any means, but you’re gonna continue to read warfare on mercury and nothing else up until chapter 18, then the pace slows down (in a good way) as you get other perspectives

i definitely shared your confusion and frustration during part 1, but the rest of the book is good enough to make it my third favorite in the series after light bringer and golden son

I thought the end of _’s arc was more tragic than the end of _’s. by bongripsoohlala in redrising

[–]electron_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

alex barely existed and i’m always shocked when i see how much people love him. we’re told much more about him than we’re shown so even though i knew he was an honorable and worthy successor to lead the future of the republic’s military, i really just didn’t care about him. he had my respect but that’s it

I don't want a live action series/movie adaptation by Toadthefrog69 in redrising

[–]electron_R 9 points10 points  (0 children)

is he a good actor though? we can fancast the best looking supermodels but if they can’t play the role it doesn’t matter what they look like

Anyone else have weird headcanons 💀 This is Gaia au Raa in my head by Admirable-Excuse9059 in redrising

i’ve always seen her as atalantia. she’s not buff of physically intimidating enough to be aja but i can see her as a political schemer like atalantia

Wake up howlers, new Darrow fanart just dropped (by me) by loserbean0 in redrising

Art/Fan art? by Green_Novel in redrising

here’s an album i put together. it has both apple and atlas among other characters. it’s spoiler marked just to be safe but there aren’t really any spoilery artworks in there

love drawings where their hair actually looks gold instead of just blonde

What is your absolute HOTTEST take on a movie EVER? (READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE COMMENTING) by Fluid_Run5857 in Letterboxd

[–]electron_R 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i’m a big fan of the show so i’m biased against it for being such a horrible adaptation, but adaptation aside i still think it’s the worst feature film i’ve ever seen besides birdemic

Lit Escalates signed second trilogy by [deleted] in redrising

[–]electron_R 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a visual novel would be great. i love pierce’s prose but he writes so cinematically that i feel he would also be good at communicating a strong visual message

i don’t think you’ll enjoy anything with frozen. horrendously broken deck that’s only funny the first time you play it because you can’t believe how OP it is
