Why Do I Imagine This Cat Singing "part Of Your World"

Why do I imagine this cat singing "part of your world"

If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.

Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.

I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.

I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”

I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.

What do you mean, the audio is not available in my location?

What? Is it the sound of a secret song hidden from the rest of the world, except this one location? Could it be the forbidden sound of the drums of liberation??

Tell me! What are your secrets, oh siren songs only few are privy to, if only for the resistance they have gained against your alluring nature throughout the generations.

I had the greatest idea for a plot twist! Everyone would hate me :DD

It's most likely been done already, but still.

So, it's a series of books like Percy Jackson or Harry Potter. And as is typical for this genre - type shonen-anime-like, aka adventure & fantasy - nearing the end of the series, there's a war.

And I make this big deal of the fight between the main character and the final boss. It super dramatic. The readers are thinking - that's it, that's the final battle - this is where the MC saves humanity and then goes on to live a happily ever after.

But then! I kill the main character. Yup. You heard me loud and clear. Or, rather, you read this right. I kill the main character. They're dead. That's it.

The readers are in denial. They're waiting for the uno reverse card, the final moment power up. It's not there. I stop writing from the MC's perspective, and start writing from their friends' perspective, their enemies, just everyone else alive in general. And that continues for multiple chapters until the end of the book.

I explain about the characters' grief over their friend's, their leader's fall. There's a funeral, preparation of defense against the big bad, because, yeah your friend died, but this is still a war, you can't just sit still and do nothing.

And so, the book ends with the good guys preparing for the final stand against the bad guys once they recover from the last fight. And the bad guys at this moment are celebrating.

And the readers are grieving and hating my guts. :)))

Wondering if that truly happened? How could I?? And then, a lot of readers won't go for the next book that would come out of those series, since their favorite character was killed, right?

Matter of fact, if the series was as popular as the ones mentioned at the top of this post, many ppl would have taken it upon themselves to write a fix-it fic. There would be that last minute power up. Sooo many time travel fics will pop out. This type of thing. There will be criticism, YouTube theories coming left and right. It would be amazing. :DD

Months pass by.

The next book comes out and nothing seems to have changed in regards to the MC's status. Readers start thinking, is this really it? Is this actually reality hitting fiction? But then! The second chapter comes!

We're introduced to a new character.

Honestly it's up to you if you want this new character to be a reincarnation of the MC, the person who will bring the MC back to life, the character that will save the MC, train them in secret and then bring them back more traumatized than ever. But yeah. I lied. The MC shall live.

And throughout the time the MC is "gone" there will be tiny crumbs left for the ppl to pick up and get hope from. But only for the more observant readers.

And all of this, because I love fix-it fics and would love to see all the different ways people would try saving their favorite character.

:33

Percy at ease

Percy calm, but a little on edge

Percy when mildly angry

Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.

No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.

But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.

like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord

One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.

Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.

And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.

You know how artists often complain about drawing the other eye of a character, especially if that character is facing forward?

Yeah, well, I just realized something.

Zuko (from ATLA if you've been living under a rock) would have been such a welcome reprieve from that.

Like, yeah, he wouldn't have been an easy character to animate in other ways. Examples being: the hair, the sword fighting, the facial expressions when it comes to his scarred side, fire bending in general, etc.

But like, everything else considered, that's a nice little thing not to have to worry about in larger scheme of things?

I know you can copy/paste the other side and call it a done deal, but how often does that actually work? (I don't actually know, but when I've tried it it hasn't been too successful.)

...

( ._.)

(Anyway--)

And, yes, I know professional animators are professionals for a reason and they wouldn't allow sth so small to deter them, but I imagine that if I was in their place I'd still appreciate it.
