It’s Hard To Tell If Someone Likes You When You Don’t Even Like Yourself.

I think this is what I liked best about the movie... and grown-up Luke's sense of humor.

Gonna be stating some possible unpopular Star Wars opinions here, but here goes…

When I was watching The Last Jedi, I thought to myself, “is this the part that got the fans angry?” before and after every scene because all throughout the whole movie, I kept waiting for that anger inducing moment, but it never came.

In my point of view, the venom that these fans are spewing is for one core reason…they’re violently upset that the characters they worshipped and placed on a pedestal for all the years Star Wars has been around for have turned out to not be what they appear. They turned out to be human, flawed, and fallible, and the hardcore fanboys couldn’t handle it.

The biggest message this movie expressed was that transforming human beings into legends, worshiping them as gods, and turning people into symbols for incorruptible purity or irredeemable darkness will only lead to ruin. This movie drove home that human morality is a messy, complicated, chaotic force and shouldn’t be viewed in stark shades of black and white.

Feel free to disagree, but this is where I stand on the subject.

Welcome to the void, Nicolas!

Nic reporting in!

Hi folks,

I’m Nic, and new to the writing community here on Tumblr - Writeblr is, I believe, the correct term. I’m a game writer by profession and the few people who know me do so because of “Enderal,” a Skyrim Total Conversion which I wrote the story for and directed. Most recently, I’ve launched a web novel called “Dreams of the Dying” that centers around Jespar Dal’Varek, one of the game’s protagonists. I update it weekly on my Patreon (www.patreon.com/niseam) and my new WattPad (www.wattpad.com/user/Niseam).

I’m mainly here to connect to other people and follow some artists I’ve been following anonymously for a while now (a huge, heartfelt thanks to the Vyn/Enderal/Jespar-bloggers out there, I’ve been stalking you for years). I won’t lie, I’m pretty new to all this and am still trying to find my way around, so I appreciate any help. I’m also looking forward to sharing opinions about the craft with fellow writers.

What do I write? Most of my stuff deals with societal, philosophical or psychological topics. All my published works so far could be classified as fantasy, though I lean towards psychological horror and mystery. I believe that good characters are king and value authenticity above all else. To quote my (somewhat dramatic) Patreon intro:

“I love stories that entertain, stories that are genuine, and stories that have an impact. While each of these aspects makes a story enjoyable to me, it’s the stories that accomplish all three I remember the most. That’s what I want my stories to do: Draw you in, make you laugh, crawl under your skin, shake you up, and leave you thinking.”

That’s a lot for a first post, so I’ll leave it at that. Thanks for reading! :)

breaks my heart. :*(

Jespar Dal'Varek - The Mercenary

That’s the great thing about life- you can never tell exactly which way the wind blows…

Just had an online Dr appointment (meds check-up). Made me feel like a criminal trying to get away with something. Sheesh! If they had to deal with me off my meds, they'd be showering me with those little pills, slipping extras into my coffee, duct taping them to my arms in hopes of attaining continual baseline dosing...

Bucket list, 'cuz I have a few choice words for The Aged Man

So I’m in Serbia now, and decided to visit a place called the “Devil’s Town”

Guys, i know where the Aged Man is living nowadays

This is so creepy

It's called "deflection" and it's cowardly bullshit. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions. Period.

JUST. KEEP. ASKING.

That’s what spotted me!
