I will say this in the most sincere way. Fourth Wing sucks! It is the absolute worst thing I have ever read!
          
          I’ve been pretty quiet on social media about my dislike of Fourth Wing. Really, only my irl circle knows about my deep hatred for it.
          
          However, that will remain no more.
          
          Fourth Wing is just a mess, story and editorial wise. Now, fantasy is hard to write as there is very little to be original about anymore. But there are gaps you can exploit still, just like in any genre. Fourth Wing went the opposite direction and did nothing original.
          
          It’s a basic enemies to lovers romantasy story with nothing to offer.
          
          Fourth Wing did very little world building. Even places described in the book were in the wrong place on the map provided. A stopwatch one of the characters used, I still do not know what era its from. Any world building that was done, was blocked by the damn toxic romance between the main characters.
          
          A lot of the story was predictable, even if it didn’t follow the bland story line every romance follows. Parts that would’ve have been interesting were cut and immediately replaced with love triangle bs.
          
          I find it that bad even the main line about if a dragon dies, the rider dies as well, is as boring and unoriginal as anything else. Its just an opposite of Eragon. That line could’ve been interesting. It could have shown the harshness of battle between dragons and their enemies. Kind of like in House of the Dragon. Where if your dragon dies, the rider dies from the fall. And if they do survive, they don’t survive escaping the battle field. Instead its if the dragon dies, the rider dies as well. I hate it in Eragon and I hate it in this.
          
          And I could go on and on and on. Like how Violet is just a Mary-Sue, Xaden is as toxic as you can get, with Dain being no better. How all but one of the intimate scenes offered nothing to the story (no joke, fanfics have more of those scenes that offer more to the story).

How is YouTube, a platform that loves to make it exceptionally hard for artists to gain viewers, more respectful of their artists than Instagram or Deviantart?
          
          Both Instagram and Deviantart have used their users artworks without their permission to train their AI models, automatically opting in every user. But YouTube automatically has every user opted out, allowing the user themself to decide whether or not they want to have their videos used to train AI.

Four scenes left to write for Chapter Three of Fall of Jurassic World. I'll try to get it done before the end of the year, but no promises. I still have an animation reel to edit before next year as well.

What’s your favourite Optimus Prime design?
          
          Mine?
          Look, I know I hate on Bayverse a lot, but Optimus’ design from 2007-2011 was amazing, closely followed by TFP and Bumblebee 2018 designs.

I've gotta stop pausing Camp Cretaceous at random points.
          
          The faces I've managed to capture by accident is either terrifying or absolutely hilarious, and 100% meme-able.
          
          But I can't screenshot them as the Netflix app doesn't allow it.

Feel free to check out my Camp Cretaceous Fanfic, with the first chapter just released!!

I'm planning on releasing my Camp Cretaceous Fanfic here.
          
          It's been pretty popular on Quotev, and I'd like to share it here as both to share it and maybe gain the confidence I had before.

What’s your thoughts on Netflix’s Tokyo Override?
          
          I recently watched and completed the first season, and while it’s not the best show, it’s still fairly alright. Writing/storytelling is decent, characters are unique to one another, and worldbuilding holds promise.
          Kinda reminds me of a mix of Arcane, Fast and Furious, and for some reason Battle Force 5. Definitely recommend giving it a watch, preferably in the Japanese dub.

I love the Monkie Kid fandom
          
          Instead of the usual ship names fans give which merge the names, LMK fans have said ‘screw that, let’s have some fun’
          
          And that’s how we got names like
          - Spicynoodles
          - Shadowpeach
          Plus some others that I can’t remember, but still love.
          
          And the ship names aren’t just for romantic ships, we got the buddy ships as well.

Just watched the How To Train Your Dragon live action trailer, and I'm nervous.
          
          There's a few things that are making me hesitant about, some of which I know I'm gonna get hate for.
          
          One, I really hope it's just not going to be a copy of the animated version. If you're gonna remake something, it better be improved, otherwise it's an insult to the animated versions, and animation has been insulted a lot with Disney. So I hope DreamWorks doesn't do the same.
          
          Now, here's the thing I'm probably gonna get hate for, but let me explain. Nico Parker is a fantastic actress and I have no doubt she'll play the role of Astrid well. However, Astrid was such an important character to me when I was young. Like the animated version, I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and around the time the second film came out, I found out I had viking heritage through Norwegian ancestry. I wanted to be like Astrid as a kid, wanted my hair style to be the same, wanted to be brave, and pushed to be more understanding when the time called for it. I don't think I'll get that same feeling with the live action version of Astrid. But do I hope other kids or teens get to have that feeling because Nico Parker is playing the role. Absolutely!
          
          One thing I am glad about is they've managed to get the whole crew back for the film, including Gerard Butler. So I have hope they're all wanting to push to improve the original story, and that this trailer was just to show us what the film is going to look like, and there's far more going on.
