As long as we're together

Or

People don't understand that it takes so much energy that is already deprived, to crawl your way back to your baseline so that you can be semi-fuctional only to be hit with another setback.

Remember the Eragon book series the inheritance cycle? They were a really fucking good series. If you are anything like me, they were a staple of your childhood.

The IC cycle was also adapted onto the screens! But the movie was shit! To this day it is probably the worst book adaption I’ve ever seen. Impressively horrible. Words don’t describe how badly they fucked over these books. Originally, multiple films were planned, but it was all such a shitshow that they abandoned the project entirely! The director responsible never directed again. It was that bad.

(That being said I highly recommend pirating it just for laughs)

Here’s where we need your help! Christopher Paolini, the author, has just announced that the series (owned by Disney) is being considered for a reboot.

The biggest issue is that our fandom is really fucking small. We just don’t have the numbers to make a big enough splash, especially on Twitter. So please, please, please, PLEASE signal boost this! And if you’re able, post about it on Twitter. The link above has all the directions and information you need to know. We really need to get this trending for it to work.

THIS IS HAPPENING ON SUNDAY, TOMORROW (June 20, 2021)

This series was my childhood. It was the first book series I ever read by myself, and has become a special interest in my young adulthood. The IC cycle offers an incredible fantasy universe with a set of strong female POC leads, and fucking SOUL BONDING WITH DRAGONS. If you haven’t heard of it, I promise you’ll like it. There’s so much good in these books.

The last and only adaption came out in 2006. The IC fandom has been waiting over 15 years for this moment. Please, take a moment to reblog.

No duh.

You don’t need to give me all these reasons you THINK you’ve survived.

Selena’s son isn’t going to be taken down by a damn forest. Brom’s not letting Eragon wander around the Spine without wards.

I left after a couple months, I stayed just long enough to see that they explicitly believe women are inferior to men, and of course, that homosexuality is a sin on par with murder.

The whole missionary door to door thing is NOT how Jehovah's Witnesses recruit. That is how they convince their members that the world is out to get them. One of the first things they teach is that Jesus requires you to try to convert non Christians to the faith. (They say non Christian but mean non JW.)

Then they say, "look how people treat us, just for the crime of wanting to save their soul"

They have long time church members tutor the incoming members to smooth the process over. They're trained to smooth away any doubts you may have about the church.

a) who dis

2) why does he look like mustacheod Mads Mikkelson

III) what is happen

This is Biggs Darklighter, Luke’s best buddy growing up on Tatooine. There was a big chunk of story cut from A New Hope where Luke looks up at the sky, sees the Star Destroyer and Princess Leia’s ship shooting at each other in orbit, and jumps in his landspeeder to tell his friends like an excited puppy.

He arrives at Tosche Station (from the infamous line “But I was gonna go to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!”) and is surprised to find Biggs there, who had just gotten his certification from the Imperial Academy (mentioned in the line “That’s what you said when Biggs and Tank left” when Luke was trying to coax Uncle Owen into applying). Luke drags everyone outside to look but by that time the two ships have stopped shooting, so they write it off as Excitable Dumbass Luke getting his dumb hopes up again and go back inside.

It’s worth noting that Biggs takes the first look through Luke’s binoculars and says it’s probably just a freighter refueling. Having been to the Imperial Academy he’d know damn well what a Star Destroyer looks like and that having one in orbit over Tatooine means Srs Bsns is afoot. But he doesn’t mention this and lies, probably in an effort to keep Luke from going “ZOMG ADVENTURE!” and trying to get involved.

When everyone else inside, Biggs and Luke go for a walk and Biggs lets Luke in on a secret: he and a bunch of other Academy grads are going to mutiny and defect to the Rebel Alliance the first chance they get. Luke basically goes “GEE WHIZ!” and Biggs shuts him up. He explains that this is stupidly dangerous and is going to make him a wanted man if he survives, so this is the last time the two are probably ever going to see each other. Luke still doesn’t Get It yet and is mostly envious of all the excitement and adventure Biggs is about to embark on.

Fast forward past: Luke discovering real and innocent people get murdered by the Empire (courtesy of Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru’s smoking remains), finding out that dashing rogues can really just be selfish, trigger-happy assholes thanks to Han Solo, and watching the man who opened his eyes to a bigger universe get killed by the monster who Luke thinks murdered his father. His boyish naivety has taken quite the beating. But as he gears up to help attack the Death Star, who should he run into but his best buddy Biggs! How bad can war be when your best friend is at your side?

… oh.

I wanna make one of these that is like a literal curtain of worms

Everyone: Haha okay sounds like wacky good fun

Pullman: everyone’s soul is manifested in a separate entity called quite literally a daemon

Everyone: sounds cute, nice aesthetic

Pullman: these children shall destroy the concept of heaven and hell

Everyone: ah bless

Pullman: they join with rebel angels to create a republic of heaven

Everyone: such cute fantasy

Pullman: “If there is no longer a king, or a kingdom of heaven, it will have to be a republic in which we are free citizens. We ourselves as citizens have to build the republic of heaven.”

The moral panics are almost always about children and children's’ media because that stacks all the social expectation and power behind the busybodies. They know the creators are often going to either ignore them or will be unprepared or unwilling to fight back. They also know that they don’t even have to convince the audience to turn on the work, they can sway their parents, who are likely less aware of the content.
