My argument for this is that looking at Disneys book-to-show adaptations, they would EXCEL at stories like Artemis Fowl.

ex: Percy Jackson and The Olympians. The original book series was very humorous while also having an interesting story. The problem with the series is that it leans so much into the story that the beloved jokes from the original series are cut. It's so focused on the plot it forgets that Percy Jackson heavily relied on its comedy too.

With Artemis Fowl, the books are story reliant. They're captivating while not having much humour-value. Of course, they do occasionally throw a joke in that doesn't throw a wrench in the pacing. Disney seems to thrive with this type of writing

A post I saw, but couldn’t repost. But I am so thankful I have found it…🩷

Absolute Silence.

Nothing for miles,except what he had brought with him. This must have been how the prophets felt, when they went into the desert to find…whatever it was they found, and talk to…whoever they talked to.

He heard Om, slightly peevish, say: “People’ve got to believe in something. Might as well be gods. What else is there?”

so our friend who goes by Irregular Joe in robot wars circles has crafted The Luggage, who is "a 13.6kg sportsman featherweight"

just look at it go!!!!

Anyways...

Here are the heights of the original cast, I based it on the actors' heights so...

In case you need them for drawing lol

And then later Spock saying without hesitation that Jim is worth an entire universe

I was looking back at this scene from impostor factory a while ago for a drawing and

There's stars to represent Neil.

Lady Sybil Vimes is one of the ladies, so Sam Vimes is on the warpath until he can find her, while the watch desperately try to keep all infrastructure from falling apart without all the fat ladies who keep it together on a daily basis

New fanfiction format just dropped, specifically for Discworld*: Just gonch up a whole new book

Johnson's Dictionary Online (thanks @yellowbelliedtoad!) – 1755 and 1773

Green's Dictionary of Slang – 1300s to today

A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue – 1788

Now this book is great; it tells you the lore behind characters in classic myths and texts, explains many literary allusions as well as the etymology behind certain phrases

Have you ever read chaucer or shakespeare and there's footnotes every five seconds because they're using a phrase that's an allusion to five greek myths and you didn't get the joke? It's that but a dictionary basically

It's honestly so much fun to just pick up, open to a random page and read. I used to do it all the time when I was a teenager

If you were wondering where all the deep puns, references and jokes in Pratchett came from; he had a copy of this on his desk

Yes slips are a thing but that's beyond the point. It's not just about skirts, it's the fact that garments have lost any quality they used to have and it's only getting worse.

Also, telling people to just buy a slip??? We don't tell women to buy a purse if she don't have pockets on her jeans?? Slips are an additional cost we should not be shouldering. They are often expensive, not size inclusive and unlike a lining that's made SPECIFICALLY for the skirt it's sewn onto, a slip might be too long or too short or just not look right.

as someone pointed out in the tags even coats and other garments have started to be sewn without lining and the purpose of lining is more than to hide your underwear.

The purpose of a lining is to add to the comfort of the wearer; preserve the shape of a garment or add body to it; and conceal construction details and raw edges of fabric, thus giving a finished appearance to the inside of the garment. A neatly applied lining usually adds to a garment quality.

I own a wool coat from an Austrian company that no longer exists (thanks thrifting), and it is in impeccable state. It has no tears, not one pulled thread and the shape still holds despite it being probably around 80 years old. Meanwhile another coat I had bought recently at a store already has a gaping hole where the stitches started unraveling. this ISN'T NORMAL!
