“But here’s a little secret for you: no one is ever the same thing again after anything. You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is. Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren’t that person anymore, and everything changes once again.”

Disney remakes

OK, I need to get this off my chest, firstly I have no hatred for the fact that Disney is remaking there films in 'live action', I can't say I have any love for it either considering that I have only seen beauty and the beast, but that's not the point. The point is that they could do so much better, more importantly if we stopped dissing the idea, we could have so much better; admittedly there is nothing wrong with the films Disney has brought out so far and I have no doubt that they will bring out more, but I have a list of films that I want remade, films that could be so amazing if they were brought back. (disclaimer not all these are Disney)

1. The Black Cauldron

For those who don't know the black cauldron was a fantasy story about a young farmer who sets off on a quest to stop an army of the undead after his psychic pig is stolen, or at least that's the basis of it, it also includes Gurgi an adorable gopher wood troll creature as seen below and Princess Eilonwy who dispite being a young girl who has been captured by the main villain is introduced while trying to escape.

Disney Remakes

2. Hercules

Now admittedly there are live action versions of the story of hurcules and while I haven't seen them they may be fairly good, but honestly I want to see a live action version of Disney's hurcules filled with the sass of Hades and Meg and packed with the magic of the animated classic

3. The road to el dorado

As I said at the start not all of these are Disney films, the road to El Dorado is a great movie and could be an absolute amazing live action adventure film

4. Anastasia

Again like El Dorado, Anastasia isn't a Disney film, dispite what certain people say, and a live action version would be incredible, I mean there is already a live action westend musical.

Anyway that is all of the films I want turned into live action movies, I doubt me ranting about them will make it happen but it makes me feel better, sorry for the long post.

I call myself lonely but I cut off a lot of communication with people because I’m sick of feeling like I’m completely unimportant compared to everyone else.

Don’t like certain themes in a fic? You can always stop reading and move on to something else.

~ ~

Don’t enjoy the characterizations in a fic? Is it too OOC for you? Feel free to stop reading and move on to something else.

~ ~

Content of a certain fic might be triggering or upsetting to you? Please stop reading and move on to something else.

~ ~

It is *always* a reader’s responsibility to decide what they do and do not read. It is *not* the writer’s job to adhere to anyone else’s standards or preferences.

~ ~

If you send hate to an author because of something you didn’t like about their plot or characters or warnings, that is you trying to misguidedly place blame on the author, rather than taking your own responsibility for not putting down the fic and just. Moving. On. To. Something. Else.
