Andromeda

Realm of the Elderlings can't be adapted to tv now because people who haven't read the books will watch Civil Bresinga say "I know what you are" (about the nature of the relationship between two characters that are (as far as he knows) both men) and say that the producers are using memes to try to be modern, and that it feels completely out of place in an older fantasy story. They don't know that that actually happens word for word in a book published in 2003

part of what makes scholomance such a good example of the ya high school story is the way it takes the tropes of the high school experience to an extreme, allowing them to be played for their full potential. Other kids won't sit with you at lunch? Typical ya protagonist dilemma but in scholomance it is a matter of life and death. Kids feel isolated from their parents? you literally can't talk to them. High school social dynamics aren't petty at all here and people devoting their time to social standing is because your social standing is very literally determining your survival. It allows politics to be played in miniature for real stakes, not petty bullshit. This can go in a positive direction too: high school friendships WILL last forever because you live and die for them.

incredible that will's curse dictated that those who loved him would die, and yet those who loved him the most never did. not in his lifetime at least, and not for a long time after. jem was always meant to die, and yet still he lives a century and a half later. and tessa, while she was always going to be immortal, should never have been able to carry that life farther into a next generation, and yet she was able to spark new life with will. it's all continuity and perpetuity and new beginnings and, in everything filled with love that surrounds will, the very oppostite of death.

free my girl she did all that and that’s what makes her such a compellingly complex character. that’s her essence

Fanart by addiej01 Do not repost or use Image Description: Fanart of Eren Jäger as a child holding the knife-on-a-stick he build when stabbing the kidnappers. He is standing in a puddle of vibrant red that emmitts a soft light illuminateing him from below. The puddle is only limited by the Wall in the background. Above it the sky is filled with the glowing coils of the "source of all living matter" centipede that blends over in a picture of adult Eren grabbing it. While his hand is half faded, his head with the long hair and piercing green eyes is clearly visible.
