I just had to jump on this trend after seeing so many of my author friends do it! Instead of choosing scenes, I chose important beats in the story. ✨🆂🅸🅳🅴 🅰︎✨ Engagement of the Year Fumbled Encounter The Neighbor’s Old Stable Just One More Night Cynthia’s Grave (Margaret Edition) Caught Breaking Curfew ✨🆂🅸🅳🅴 🅱︎✨ A Brand Discovered Find His Lover (High Alert) Destruction in Love’s Name A Broken Angel “It’s always been you.” Praise Be (Life is Good) Abduction (Gina Edition) I’m curious! Did these “story beats as song titles” convince you to read UNRAVEL? 👀🤩 What a blast this was to put together! ——— #indiebook #indieauthor #kaitlyndeann #theforgottencountrymen #midnights #taylorswiftmidnights #romantasy #dystopianromance #fantasyromance #ya #dystopianfantasy #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #bookaestetic #storybeats https://www.instagram.com/p/CkTMtSGLsSP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

one of the best things about agents of shield is that it does all of the tropes, way over the top trauma, character revivals, alternate reality plots, evil versions of characters, betrayals, mind control, time travel plots, etc., things which are usually done either way too seriously or as a cheap joke/low effort filler content that sometimes doesnt fit the tone or show it happens in at all.
but it does them properly the way theyre supposed to be, integrating them into its world, and it shows why they are actually popular and that they work if you spend any real effort on them and try to do them justice instead of always playing them as a cliché trope.
yeah, its an interesting storyline to see the goodhearted main character be turned evil against their will and then deal with the fallout. whod have thunk.
and at the same time it manages to not lose the kind of campy feel associated with them, in a really charming way. i dont know if im making sense, i just waited for a really long time for someone to actually do these things right cause they have so much potential, and they usually dont get to explore it beyond very superficial levels.
agents of shield is awesome. fin.

the pacing of hazbin is ODD but... i REALLY feel like the two songs per episode format really fucks over the flow. it is hard enough - though completely doable - to build one song into a 25 minute runtime organically, but two is just... a lot, and only about half of the songs are good and plot-relevant enough to really justify being featured. it really does feel like they're just flexing the broadway people, which would be fine if it didn't feel like such a jarring cut from the plot most of the time.

Despite it's virtues, utrh pretty much has to be retconned by now. Ideally we could keep Jason's characterization and motivations, but the problem is that utrh doesn't fit in anywhere anymore. Not going into the dilemma of "what actually happened at the ending of utrh?" Since Jason maybe died. The problem is that the events of utrh are never brought up in comics again. Because you can't. The weird character contradictions of Bruce fall apart under scrutinization. There is no definitive, clear and concise reason for Bruce and Jason's dynamic after. There's no laid-out direction where they would go after that. Alone the fact that the events of utrh are NEVER referenced again after, just vague gestures about Bruce and Jason being irreconcilable, proves that we need a 'new' utrh. One that corrects Bruce's characterization and one that makes enough sense to be useable to refer to when Jason and Bruce interact and fight again after those events. Because only by being talked about is there any potential for it to be resolved and as long as Bruce and Jason can't address that core conflict of utrh, their reconciliation will always be a little unsatisfactory.
