Stories Like The Mandalorian And The Witcher Are Increasingly Becoming More Compelling Than Superhero

stories like the mandalorian and the witcher are increasingly becoming more compelling than superhero stories because although they still centre around a single person (or small group of people) dealing with some larger-than-life problem, the conflict and eventual emotional release in the story is generated through watching the protagonist realise they can’t win and have to cope with their circumstances as best they can, whereas with super hero movies they win and save the day.

both are a different kind of escapist fantasy (the former being a cathartic one because you easily connect with the terror of being unable to change your material conditions, while the latter is watching someone powerful change those conditions for you), but for shows like the mandalorian or the witcher, characters draw strength from rallying together and being kind to other people who also feel just as powerless. Super heros are just innately powerful in some way that is not accessible to most people. You can theoretically train to be as competent as a Mandalorian or Witcher, but you can’t train your way into being Superman or being a rich genius like Batman.

The way some fic writers on Tumblr commit casual theft (unauthorized use; treating others' creations as free-use because they "found them online") by using fandom art/photos without the creators' permission makes me wonder how they would feel if someone plagiarized their writing.

Even if credited, are they okay with third parties feeding their work into a.i. or posting their fics on other platforms without their consent?

This thing breaks me every. single. time. because Simon is such a mama's boy. He had been getting tortured with his comrades non-stop, and this is literally his reaction when being told ''that's your mother's skull''. His smile?? The comfort he's getting as he holds it?? I'm gonna scream.

This Thing Breaks Me Every. Single. Time. Because Simon Is Such A Mama's Boy. He Had Been Getting Tortured

Not only this but he's such a family man it's insane. This man kicked his abusive father who had been tormenting them for over 20 years out of the house, beat his ass, didn't go back to the army until his brother recovered from addiction (which he saved him from), was his brother's best man when he got married, loved and cherished his whole family, used to play with his brother's kid, showed his family true love and what a normal life is for years, even after he got hung by the ribs, tortured, SAd by men and women, had violent nightmares and mild psychosis.

This man was about to kill himself when he found his family dead, but instead he decided to get revenge for them and kill those responsible for their death, all the while he decided to become a Ghost and give his family a funeral pyre, destroying everything that attached him to Simon. But no, Simon never fully died and he knows it, that's why his tattoo sleeve has a set of dog tags in honor of him.

I want to share some advice given to me by my mother, who has been writing longer than I have been alive, and is one of the wisest people I've ever met.

I was emotional and upset and told her "I'm burnt out and tired, and I think I may stop writing entirely."

She sighed, not unkindly, and said:

"Darling you may not have a choice. That's the thing about writers is that when they have a story to tell, it will not leave them alone until it is finished. Writers write not always because they like it, but because they have a gift and a curse to tell stories. When you keep it inside of yourself, it will find a way to get out whether you like it or not. It's not up to you. Take a break, allow your stories to rest, and when they are ready they will try to break free again."

I see people fearful that they get to a point where they will never put words to paper again. But the truth is once you find a story to tell, your story, it won't stay inside of you until it's finished. Isn't that magical? Isn't that beautiful?

Take your time, darling. The rest will come when it is ready

Until His Last Dying Breath | Simon Ghost Riley x gn!reader

Anonymous asked: “I’m proud of you, for the record” With ghost please? Thank you and take care!

summary: knowing what will happen to him, Ghost still refuses to give up on you, and commits one final act of bravery to make sure that you live.

tws: major character death, graphic depictions of death, graphic depictions of gas attacks, swearing, vomiting, suffocating, blood. 

support your fanfic writers by reblogging what you read & enjoy

Hidden within the trenches of the front, an eerie silence could only ever mean that something terrible was on its way; sat beside Ghost and Krueger, you wondered what would come of you all.
