We Are In A Media Literacy Crisis

we are in a media literacy crisis

This thing is still in my drafts with no date to finish.

I JUST KEEP GETTING IDEAS FOR NEW THINGS (which I also never finish)

I thought writing about Cedric and Calista's white bangs and I was thinking, how would Goodwyn and Winnifred have reacted when they saw the change in Calista's hair? Personally, I think Goodwyn was horrified.

I mean, everyone in her family knows why those white streaks are there. Calista obviously didn't know the truth, she probably thought they were cool and just wanted to look like her uncle.

Can we think about what Calista must have thought when she discovered where those white locks came from? I have some ideas for a couple of sheets tbh.

For some stupid reason, I woke up thinking about the image of Greylock shouting:

"Mi gente latino" (that meme of Jennifer Lopez that went viral a while ago)

And Cedric in the background with the biggest face of confusion and secondhand embarrassment in the world.

In general, the image of Greylock doing silly things pops into my mind every now and then, but today I can't stop thinking about that damn "Mi gente latino" audio.

got access to my main computer today and found cedlock i made in may lol

and THIS

purpl greylock! hes looking at the medusa stone

i need to redraw these bc i still kinda still like them???

Your fanfic Not Even in My Worst Nightmares reminds me of these lines from Good Luck, Babe:

When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night With your head in your hands, you're nothing more than his wife And when you think about me, all of those years ago You're standing face to face with "I told you so" You know I hate to say, "I told you so" You know I hate to say, but, I told you so

Greylock's point of view, since he can't fathom the idea of Cedric marrying King Magnus.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before—I have a bad memory.

Oh, yessssss. I think about that too, it fit very well.

First of all, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your comments; they fill me with life and are so fun to read. It's like I see new things I didn't even notice in my writing, and it's truly useful as feedback.

Also, you have a way of describing things that is hilarious and conveys your excitement, and I absolutely love it.

So, thank you, thank you.

Now, long text

About Greylock. This guy is a mystery to me. Personally, I feel like I’ve made up Greylock’s entire personality based on other fics and the small fragments from Baileywhoops, so he’s a strange amalgamation, lol. In this particular fanfic, I went with a version where Greylock is a bit unaware of himself—he picks up on and understands certain things but misses a lot of others (most of them).

In this fic he's literally like:

I also made him a bit weird. He has his own idea of what he considers romantic, as you can see. Above all, I feel like I gave him this trait where he wants everything to be immediate, so to speak. He doesn’t take Cedric’s perspective or his own faults into account when reacting.

He thinks things will magically fix themselves with one good gesture, and Cedric will fall for his (nonexistent) charms.

I don’t know, it was fun to write him that way, hahaha. By the way, the 'clown instincts' made me laugh a lot.

Also, yes, Muldo the Magnificent is really his name. He was literally only mentioned once, and I’m so obsessed. I’d love to know what Cedric and Cordelia’s school years were like.

Regarding the calculations you made, yes, Cedric is in tenth grade and Greylock, Muldo, and Cordelia are in eleventh. I have a headcanon that Cordelia is about a year older than Cedric, so that’s why. (Although I don't really know how grades are used because in my country the school classification is very different.)

As for the carrot joke, that’s my fault. It was terrible. I really didn’t know what to put, and it sounded better in my head and in Spanish. Greylock must have given me something.

I’m glad to hear Greylock’s actions are frustrating at some point, because all of this could have been avoided if he had acted like a normal person and apologized properly from the start. But honestly, neither of them is normal.

Muldo has to be the coherent one because no one else in this fic is.

Thank you so much for your comments again! I really read them carefully and enjoyed them. Thanks for reading too!

Hi everyone! Especially to the Cedlock shippers. I finally finished the silly thing I was writing, and I want to share it with you all.

It was going to be more angsty, but honestly, things took a different turn, and it ended up like this. So, yeah, I hope you like it!

Oh, and Cordelia makes a mini appearance just because I adore her.
