adding my voice to the chorus promising to THROW MONEY AT YOU if you got that shit published. I'm actually SUPER excited to see how you rework the scene. Also this reminds me that I was gonna listen to Lindsey's old livereadings of The Return while I work tonight SO GUESS WHERE I'M GOING AFTER I HIT 'ASK'.
Asked by bluandorange
Thanks for the support! :D I’m also kind of super excited by how I might rework everything, because when I actually start thinking about just how limitless the possibilities get once I drop the need to match up to an established world/canon…my brain lags out a little bit…
And then I realize I’m actually going to have to reread the Return and it goes “…urgh, it’s so old, it burns us…”. XD

when you don’t see the tag until the end of the post?
You have to use the add on “Tumblr Savior”. You can give it keywords (like “spoiler”) and it’ll block those posts for you. I haven’t used it very much, so I’m not super familiar with it, but that’s the basic premise, anyway!

I would purchase RR as original fiction! I love Return as is. But I'm particularly intrigued with what you would change, once you no longer had the "Zelda fic" restraints! and how you'd go from "Rose's Hyrule" to Rose's Very Own WORLD. That idea more than ANYTHING makes me hope you pursue it! Some nods could stand. Link's friendship with a lonely old gravedigger still demonstrates his character. And maybe he can be Linc, short for Lincoln? ;D Lenc, Lync, Lynx, etc... or any name that resonates.

I have convinced myself to at least give it some thought - identify the elements that need to change, rework some of the plot, and consider what I would want on a grander scale (the idea of the Cycles, for example) and how to work that in when it wasn’t built with them in mind.
Lincoln’s cute. I’m currently leaning toward Legion, though, given all the past lives…hmm…
Though nothing will ever have quite the same sound as “worse to Link.” XD

Lonk. LONK! IT HAS TO BE LONK. Actually, please don't. But the idea is ridiculously funny anyway. Gosh, I don't care if you ever publish or not, if you ever change their names or not, RR will always be THE BEST. And you will always be my inspiration to be a better writer and not be afraid to write anything (even fanfiction). I will love you to pieces always, even if you keep trying to kill Link :3
Asked by Anonymous
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
And believe me - if I were TRYING to kill Link, he’d already be dead. :D

I would buy the shit out of reworked RR. And then I would buy another one and shove it in my mother's face until she read it too. RIGHT IN HER FACE.

Quote reblogged from Eat, Sleep and DrawSame’s true of the Black Widow. Scarlett Johanssen looked great in that outfit, but she seemed to be there only as eye candy. The shot in the middle of the battle where she pulls out a pistol was silly. I don’t know who this Black Widow was, and I don’t think the screenwriter did either. She wasn’t the original comic Black Widow, the Russian femme fatale who seduces Hawkeye into trying to kill Iron Man. She wasn’t the later comic book Black Widow, who dons a costume, comes over to the good guys, and teams with first Hawkeye and then Daredevil. She was just… there.
George R. R. Martin, on reviewing the Avengers. [SOURCE]
Okay, George, I do totally agree with your earlier assessment of Hawkeye. I’ll give you that he didn’t have enough screentime to get proper development. But no. I can’t even let you finish, there will be no finishing of the Kanye West meme here. WERE WE WATCHING THE SAME FILM?
I don’t want to automatically fall back on the “you think she’s just eye candy, because you’re a male” argument, because that’s unfair. Fuck, you write some really damned decent females yourself (all things considered). But honestly? No. No, we were not watching the same film.
“JUST THERE?” Uh, did you not see any of her development at all, or were you just waiting for the men to come in and steal the show? This is the same character who is the only one to get decent information when everyone else is too busy arguing over stupid personal bullshit. This is the same character who has a conversation with Loki and doesn’t lose her cool. This is the same character jumping onto alien warcraft and beating these assholes at their own game. This is the same character saving the motherfucking day by racing off to beat Loki while all the boys are too busy playing house with the alien army.
Don’t tell me she was just there. That she was just eye candy. She was one of the most important motherfucking characters in the entire film, and it saddens me when reviews degrade Johansson’s performance simply because she isn’t one of the guys. And why do all of these reviews seem to come from long time comics fans, 90% of the time all male? You do realize that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a canon into itself and doesn’t actually follow the comics the way you’re claiming it should? That characters were changed and updated to fit with current audiences and currently relevant plots? Laying this all on Black Widow’s origins not adding up right is just plain silly at this point in the MCU game. (A game you don’t seem to be playing well, G.R.R.M.)
Flawless bitch carried that goddamn film. Period.

“Flawless bitch carried that goddamn film. Period.” YEP.

Is this a fucking joke? I’m tired of this bullshit that because an actress is fucking drop-dead gorgeous it must mean her character is simply there to to be eye candy. Fuck you. Don’t be such a misogynistic fuck. SHE CLOSED THE FUCKING PORTAL. SHE LITERALLY BEAT THE LOKI OUT OF CLINT.

I am suddenly proud of the fact that my 26-year-old red-blooded heterosexual brother, while finding Black Widow hot, would be the first one in line to call that “just eye candy” bullshit what it is.
(via jennifermatarese)
I just want to add that WITHOUT SCARLETT’S PROFORMANCE, one of the most important and investing characters of the film would have failed.
That’s right. I’m talking about the mother fucking Hulk.
Without the establishment of the Black Widow as a badass, without establishing her calm and collected demeanor and general physical and verbal control over every situation she’s in and then grounding her in her extremely human fear of the Hulk
The Hulk wouldn’t have fucking worked.
She was NOT just eye candy. She did EVERYTHING that everyone else has already pointed out and more. She is so integral to the plot and the other characters that Bruce Banner’s alter ego, arguably, could not have stolen the show without her.
And also? Joss did that WITHOUT putting her in a fucking fridge, thank you. TAKE SOME FUCKING NOTES.

bluandorange answered your question: Ned is bored and needs some prompts again!Rapunzel decides to style her short hair and it’s REALLY CUTE
One of the few things that got under Rapunzel’s skin was when people told her she couldn’t do something. Her whole life she’d heard that shecouldn’tgo outside, the shecouldn’t possiblysurvive. And then she’d done it. She’d proven her mother wrong. And it was amazing and it had opened her eyes to just how wrong the whole thing was. She had dreams and if she wanted to do them, them no power on earth could stop her.
“Oh! Your Highness, you can’t wear that!” Hrumf. Clearly she could because she already was. And the next week, short dresses were all the rage.
“Rapunzel, you can’t hug that pig.” Of course she could. Pigs loved hugs, and she loved pigs. What was the problem.
It became a kind of dare, one which she realized she would have to watch before people figured it out and tried to use reverse psychology to manipulate her instead of manipulating her the normal ways.
“You can’t possibly hunt with the king! It will be frightfully boring and your mother would have a fainting fit if you mentioned it at all.” Haha. No. The king was thrilled to have her along and he worked diligently to have the day be exciting.
“Too bad you can’t do anything with your hair. It’s just going to look like… that… Forever.” She narrowed her eyes at the maid in the mirror, then at her own hair in deep thought. Why couldn’t she do anything with it? She’d made Pascal a friendship bracelet out of shorter pieces of string. She could probably braid it.
She ended up with about a dozen little braids sticking up from the side of her head, which scared one of her maid senseless. She adjusted the braid so it fed back on itself, gathering more hair and laying flat against her head, but she needed more hands to make it neat, and a pair of eyes that could see the side of her head. Maybe it was time to ask for assistance? Pft. No. She’d do it herself.
Then she turned to the curling iron that she’d seen the maids use on the queen’s hair. She grabbed it and scurried off to her room to practice. Her hair was too short to get ringlets like her mother wore to fancy functions, but she did get it to twist upward at the ends, which she thought was very cute. The hair on the left side of her head decided that it wanted to curl down at the ends and the final effect left her just looking windblown. To try to erase the damage, she took a brush to it, which made all the hair stick straight out.
She thought that was neat too, but everyone else disagreed with her. Then they scolded her for stealing the curling iron.
Finally she discovered gel, which was sticky and goopy and got everywhere and was sooooo much fun. She twisted the hair into little peaks and swirls and loops. It was like art, but on her head!
Eugene blinked at her once, then grinned. “Look at you.”
“You like it?” Suddenly, she wasn’t so sure.
“Yeah. It’s like a party up there.”
“You think it’s cute?”
“I think you’re cute.”
She beamed, then ran off to show the queen.
NED
I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
One second, I was thinking about how much fun it would be to give Punzel my hair gel and then next
I naming this ‘WHOOPS.jpeg’ and saving it to my pictures folder
And yet I get the feeling this would be a normal saturday night for these two

Post reblogged from Neil Gaiman
Big plug for Pocket Con, in Chicago. July 7th, 12-6pm. It’s free for teens, and the adults who accompany them.
What is Pocket Con?
Pocket Con is a single day convention for Chicago Teens. It focuses on work by artists of color, particularly African American authors and artists, as well as comics with a primary character who is Black.
Pocket Con also features work in the comic genre by other underrepresented groups, such as women and LGBT authors/characters, as well as topics of related interest, such as small-budget film-making, radio drama, and zines.
Our mission for this event is primarily to promote literacy using the graphic novel format, reflect on the history of race and gender portrayal in comics and film, and introduce characters, writers and authors who have a different voice than the primarily white, primarily male, primarily straight characters written by generations of comic authors (themselves primarily white, straight, and male). We would also like to empower young writers and artists by introducing them to the collaborative process that is comic creation, and encourage them to produce and submit work of their own for contests at the con.
