The amount of unrecognized talent in this fandom is fucking criminal.

I definitely don't have any talent, but still

If you think about, an adaptation would boost the series popularity massively (if done well.). So the amount and quality of the stuff the fandom makes would probably increase as well. Even if it wasn't in the show, someone, somewhere, would probably draw Ripred in a bugs bunny style drag disguise.

I'm so conflicted with the TUC adaptation. like.

option A: The obvious answer and morally I have to take it. A somber tone overall but true to the wide range of emotions and scenes in the series. Does the books justice and everything aligns with the tone and world building of the original content.

Option B: Ripred gets a bugs bunny style drag disguise every so often

Could you just imagine Top Gear, but with Gregor, Ares and Ripred?

Ripred: How, in the name of all that is holy, did you manage to do that

Gregor, holding a baby Bane: ...well it's quite interesting, isn't it?

Ares, looking on with a look of mild apprehension/fear: Yes, it is

Gonna hold onto this

Blunders to Avoid:

Weapons performing what they shouldn't be able to do (e.g. a foil slashing metal armour)

Protagonists fighting with weapons for which they don't have the strength or build to handle

The hero carrying a huge sword all the time as if it's a wallet

Drawing a big sword form a sheath on the back (a physical impossiblity, unless your hero is a giant...)

Generic sword which can slash, stab, cleave, slash, block, pierce, thrust, whirl through the air, cut a few limbs, etc...as if that's plausible

the wisdom of the elders

site that you can type in the definition of a word and get the word

site for when you can only remember part of a word/its definition 

site that gives you words that rhyme with a word

site that gives you synonyms and antonyms

It's good and cool to give your characters a single simple, straightforward, non-urgent, super-achievable goal that shouldn't really cost anything or hurt anyone, make that the driving factor for most of their decisions, and then have the Plot do everything in its power to stop them.

I might be going insane, but at least it's over a great series

He's pan

good evening! ripred the gnawer is trans
