#it's a growing up story that isn't depressing! crucially!

I think it's also interesting to see how things change depending on the time in which they're being engaged with. so I see things about rose today that point out that she's written to be 19 when she meets the doctor and that's a big age difference (which... I understand the point is it's a big age difference because billie piper was 23 and eccleston was 40, and then dtennant was like 34/35 when he started which isn't so big of a shift but anyway the optics I get what people are getting at, but also I think it does oversimplify a lot of what's actually going on in the written dynamic, anyway-)
and also that the rtd run's Themes start coming together properly around s3 (although they are present from day one), and in some ways at this point, because nu!who has been running for... fuckn. actually quite a few years, which is wild to me as someone who started watching as a kid, and I wonder if classic!who fans felt the same way about their show and anyway -- she shifts from being Literally The First Companion You'd Seen For 17 Years (not counting the movie and fan things and the sketch) Who Was Defining A New Era For A New Generation to... a companion
comparable to other companions, comparable to the rest of the show
we sift through the writing to see what worked and what didn't (in our opinion), and we know how the ten-and-rose storyline Really ends, and how the ten storyline ends (sort, of because now that doctor and donna are Back), and we know what happens afterwards, and we talk about tenrose with a 2020s eye, and rose is "just" one of the people that travels with the doctor, one of several, and notably the one who gets most of the sunshiney doctor that buries a lot of the (wonderfully portrayed) angst of the latter half of the rtd show, and doesn't have as much lore as everything after that, so the story is "just" more simple overall
and to me she's kind of incapable of being just that. doctor who was still a risk that first season, it wasn't a done deal that it would have legs at all, never mind that it would continue for as long as it has. rose was created to be the Face of what nu!who was, moreso than nine/eccleston, because even with the extra angst and the eccleston gravitas, we know the doctor, the doctor is established, it's not actually the doctor that needs to sell what the new show is going to become and what the Feel of that new show is going to be (I mean, partly ofc, but-)
rose was doing so much heavy lifting and she succeeded! she was the face of who before dtennant or any other doctor or companion of his era and subsequent eras. she was created to appeal to a demographic of girls who wanted someone relatable in science fiction, because rtd wanted this to be for the girls, and billie piper came into it off the back of being a popstar and it changed her entire trajectory (for the better I think/hope -- there's a lot of bad shit in billie piper's past and I'm always sending her a fond thought)
nine/ten-and-rose were It! not calling it romantic or platonic or any secret third thing (haunting the narrative), but simply It! that's why it has so much staying power as a ship (which, my opinion on shipping has been somewhat *eh shrug* in later years, but in early-days when that was how you engaged with dynamics that got to you, of course it was going to be massive). it's so hard to properly describe how "for the time in which it was made" that this dynamic was written for, and how successful it was. it was rose that breathed doctor who -- and the doctor's character -- to life, as much as herself
she sets the stage for everything that comes next, both within and without the show proper
and I'm always so pleased that rtd at the time was thinking about what was needed to create this character and he opened with a shot from a girl on the estate with messy hair, clumpy eyeliner, and a minimum wage job, and went "that's the girl who's going to go on the adventure of a lifetime, that's the girl we're seeing the story through and relating to, because that's what girls (and uh... those who were girls at the time - and their parents and the boys) should be seeing."
I know rose isn't the first working class companion including classic!who, but she set the tone for nu!who and her family and background are important to why she is who she is, and is explored
"I've got no A-levels, no job, no future-" said the girl about to see the universe
she was very much for teenagers, and so she reads differently when you're an adult watching it back (much like those "teenager saves the world," novels you loved as a kid), but that's why she's 19 at the beginning. that's why she's billie piper (who does a perfect job). she was there to bring a new generation into this story, and it was perfect. and then she grows up. and we grew up. and she had adventures and it was brilliant and she survived and she made a life for herself. that's her story

"I LOVED THAT SHOW"
I wore my How to Dance in Ohio hoodie to church today. It's Palm Sunday and we did our customary palm procession from Duffy Square into the building, which is nice and all except winter decided to come back and bite my skin off again...so that sweatshirt seemed like the best choice as warm enough for the weather + can fit under my choir robe + won't get swelteringly uncomfortable once we're inside at the service. It did the job. Truly the ultimate transition piece. Get yours today while supplies last.
At fellowship afterwards, someone from the congregation that I didn't know--she's only in NYC part of the year--pointed out my sweatshirt and said "I LOVED THAT SHOW!"
It took her a moment to recognize me (she initially confused me for Madison, which, yeah that happens, I'll never be mad about it), and we had a lovely chat about the show. And what I noticed after walking away was...the subject of autism, or me being autistic, didn't come up at all.
I love and cherish the advocacy aspect of my work on HTDIO. I love and cherish the opportunity it gave me to be the autistic representation I wished I'd had growing up. But I have to say, it was SO nice to have someone, a total stranger, talking about the show and loving the show independent of The Autism Part.
It was wonderful being part of discussions about diverse representation, and I will never turn down opportunities to eagerly participate in those conversations. But I really wanted us to stick around long enough that the "novelty" aspect of "autistic characters played by autistic actors" (or even "canonically nonbinary/genderqueer characters") would wear off sufficiently for more people, so they could focus on the story and the characters and the music and all the other things that make our show great irrespective of the Representation aspect.
I've had a ROUGH few weeks, y'all. Truthfully, I've been going through one of the worst depressive episodes of my life. Aside from the obvious grief factor and logistical stressors, it turns out that post-operative depression is absolutely a thing. While I'd like to think I'm cognitively and emotionally mature enough to handle this level of change, especially considering how lucky I am to have robust support systems in family, friends, and healthcare practitioners, my very autistic nervous system has had a difficult time letting the sympathetic part cooperate with the parasympathetic part. So I've been a ball of tension, exhaustion, and worst of all, that soul-sucking apathy where nothing seems enjoyable or interesting, but maybe it would be if I had the energy to be interested.
It's helped to find a great physical therapy clinic that is giving me comprehensive, multi-pronged care and NOT charging me copays (because apparently my insurance pays them excellently--thank you, Equity-League and Cigna). It's helped that I got back in touch with a therapist I had seen years ago on BetterHelp (she's since left the platform and honestly, GOOD FOR HER). It's helped that I have parents with the means to help me out financially--and, crucially, the means to keep me accountable without resorting to pressure and guilt-tripping. It's helped to still live in a city where financial assistance isn't excruciatingly hard to come by if all else fails (at least compared to other states). It's helped to have agents submitting me for tons of exciting projects, and having several cabarets and readings to look forward to in this time of transition. It's helped to have a really chill, supportive church community keeping me spiritually grounded without buying into the yt American evangelical toxicity. It's helped to have my cats.
But sometimes, what makes me the happiest of all, is hearing "I LOVED THAT SHOW!"
I'll never not be proud to be known for How to Dance in Ohio and everything we stood for. I'm proud that the love was real, and the quality of the material reflected and reverberated that love. I'm proud of the representation aspect, and I'm proud that it wasn't just about that. And people who saw it, saw all of that.
It's so comforting to know that we shared this show with enough people that it's going to continue to matter.
People aren't going to forget.
I love that for us.
By the way, it was too cold to really show it off, but this is the shirt I wore underneath the sweatshirt. :)

The Power of Sharing: Why We Open Up and Connect Through Stories
The Power of Sharing: Why We Open Up and Connect Through Stories
We've all experienced that moment. Scrolling through social media, you see a friend's post and a jolt goes through you. It's a picture of their happy family vacation, a heartfelt message about overcoming a personal struggle, or a funny anecdote about a recent mishap. But amidst the "likes" and comments, a thought arises: "Why did they share this?" “Why We Share Our Personal Stories With Strangers?”
The answer lies in the fundamental human need for connection. Sharing our stories, both joyful and difficult, fosters a sense of belonging and helps us navigate the complexities of life.
The Comfort of Shared Experience: "I Thought It Was Just Me!"
Think back to a time you faced a challenging situation. Perhaps it was a career setback, a health scare, or a relationship hurdle. In that moment, loneliness and isolation can feel overwhelming. But then, you stumble upon a blog post, a podcast episode, or even a casual conversation where someone shares a similar experience. Suddenly, a wave of relief washes over you. "Someone else has been through that too?" That simple realization can be incredibly powerful.
The Science Behind It: Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, plays a crucial role here. When we hear stories about struggles similar to our own, our brains release oxytocin, a hormone associated with bonding and trust. This creates a sense of connection, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. Studies have shown that sharing personal experiences can actually decrease feelings of social anxiety and depression.
Beyond Empathy: The Power of Shared Vulnerability
Sharing isn't just about finding comfort in relatable experiences. It can also be a catalyst for personal growth. By opening up about our struggles, we invite others to share their own experiences and perspectives. This collaborative storytelling can lead to new insights and solutions.
Consider the example you mentioned: your friend sharing a picture of their happy marriage. While it might seem like an ordinary moment, there might be a deeper purpose. Perhaps they overcame significant challenges together or learned valuable lessons about communication and compromise. By sharing their story, they could be offering unspoken support to others facing similar struggles.
Vulnerability as Strength: Our society often emphasizes strength and self-sufficiency. However, there's a growing recognition that vulnerability is actually a sign of strength. By sharing our vulnerabilities, we create space for others to do the same. This fosters deeper connections and fosters a more supportive environment.
Stories as Problem-Solvers: Sharing the Struggle Leads to Solutions
Have you ever shared a tough day at work with a colleague? Often, the act of vocalizing our experiences can lead to unexpected solutions. By structuring our thoughts and challenges into a narrative, we gain a clearer perspective. Brainstorming with colleagues can also provide fresh ideas and approaches. This exchange of experiences and perspectives not only helps with the immediate problem but also equips us to handle similar challenges better in the future.
Sharing Knowledge and Lessons Learned: Let's say you faced a difficult project at work and finally found a solution after much trial and error. Sharing your story becomes a way to impart valuable knowledge to others facing similar situations. This knowledge sharing is a cornerstone of human progress. By learning from each other's experiences, we can collectively navigate challenges and continuously improve ourselves and our work.
The Ripple Effect: Sharing with Strangers Creates Unexpected Connections
The need for connection transcends familiar faces. Sharing stories online, even with strangers, can be incredibly empowering. Online communities offer a platform to connect with people who share similar interests or experiences. This virtual environment can be particularly valuable for those who might feel isolated in their physical communities.
Finding Your Tribe: The internet creates a global village, allowing us to connect with individuals who share our passions or have walked similar paths. This sense of belonging to a "tribe" can be incredibly validating and supportive. Online communities can also offer a safe space to explore sensitive topics and receive anonymous support.
Inspiring and Empowering Others: Sharing personal stories online can be a powerful way to inspire and empower others. By showcasing our vulnerabilities and triumphs, we demonstrate that challenges can be overcome and dreams can be achieved. This positive reinforcement can encourage others to persevere in their own journeys.
Building Bridges and Breaking Stigmas: Personal stories can be powerful tools for promoting social change. By sharing our experiences with discrimination, illness, or mental health struggles, we can raise awareness and challenge stigma. This vulnerability can inspire empathy and encourage others to advocate for change.
In conclusion, sharing your stories is a fundamental human act that has the power to connect us with others, foster empathy, promote growth, and inspire action. Whether we’re sharing our experiences with friends, family, or strangers online, storytelling is a powerful way to make sense of the world and build a more connected world.

3 halloween tales (cater, jade & vil)
This is really random, but the ssr cards for the halloween show have given me many au ideas, so here are my self-indulgent stories inspired by them. The Cater one is especially long because I got a lot of ideas about it. For the Vil one.. it's pretty disappointing how it turned out, but I hope it's not too bad. PLEASE READ THE WARNINGS!
WARNINGS : death (all), mild mention of gore (cater), war + mild possessiveness + violence (jade) [let me know if there're more!]
Tumblr media
the heart and its eternal weight
Cater is a cemetery caretaker. It isn't that he really loves it, but his father was one. He feels like it is only right to take after his steps.
He isn't into superstitions. Some people find distaste in his job, but it's something crucial for Cater. People, even after they're dead, should still be honored, and so deserve a hospitable place to rest. 
Everyday is a routine for him. Sometimes, though, the families of the passed talk to him about their stories and their emptiness once their loved ones are gone. Cater finds the beauty and softness in humans by hearing these stories, and it makes him even more dedicated to his job. 
It's natural to him, dying. His father was killed in an unintended accident, and sometimes it seems like his death could have been avoidable just as much as it was inevitable. He just wishes that he had had more time with him.
One of the lessons his father taught him about graveyard caretaking is to beware of ghosts. Those who recently died are more visible and intimate with the world of the living, and so they might appear before humans. Some are inhostile, of course, but there are malevolent ones.
Lore has it that some ghosts prey on hearts. It is said that the heart is the most important part of a human, as it is accountable for life, death and emotions. People believe that ghosts can be revived with a fresh, still-beating heart, and as a result the human giving up their heart will die in place of the ghost. Basically, the heart can also create ripples in the fabric of space-time.
Because of his job, he isn't all that popular among others, and he only has a few life-long close friends, his mother and sisters by him. So even if he has a crush on the most admirable person he's ever seen, he still won't make it known in fear of rejection. He figures that he still has time to figure it out.
And he's wrong. News about your tragic death spread around quickly like wildfire, and he's devastated. It feels wrong to even feel so, because he has never been acquainted with you in the first place.
Your body is buried in his cemetery, and a lot of people come to your funeral that day. Some of your family members are so heartbroken and pitiable, and so Cater offered to be their listener.
All he can hear is about the great work you've done, the care you put into everyone you met, the warmth that radiated off you while you were still alive. It breaks Cater how he's never had the privilege to know you, to experience all your graces with his own perspective.
One night, the moon is lit and hung up high in the sky, so close that it seems to be prying on Earth and the people roaming on it. Cater is patrolling with his lawnmower when he hears quiet and uncertain sobs.
He is creeped out, yes, but he's also curious. He's never seen a ghost before, and it could be a human for all he knows.
He's proved wrong once again, as he discovers your opaque body behind a giant tree. You are hugging their legs close to your chest, and a rotting hole's visible where your heart should be.
There's no way you can be hostile, and you certainly won't kill him for his heart, so Cater decides to approach you gently, tentatively, like you're smoke that will disperse the moment he intrudes.
To his surprise, you can hear him clearly, and even invite him to sit down with him. It's so bizarre -- a ghost asking for a conversation! But Cater doesn't mind as he pops down beside you. He notices how although you were no longer solid, it still feels like tense when his hand passes through you. Certainly it's because you've been dead not for long.
And so the two of you indulge in heartful conversations, and Cater finds himself regretting even more about how he never gathered the courage to go up to you. Mid-conversation you tell him about all the things that you wish you could've done and all the ideas you wished to spread.
Cater probably shouldn't have, but he is so absorbed in your ambitions and kindness that he offers to carry out all these great things for you. After numerous confirmations, you agree too to let him carry out your thoughts.
And so Cater works in his neighbourhood, sharing campaigns and donating, taking care of lost pets and cats and partaking in environment improvement. He's never felt so fulfilled before, and it's the first time he feels like he's genuinely making a difference in the world.
In times he's not representing you, he brings you up on the little hill behind the cemetery where the moon and stars are so close and vibrant, where they all dance in the dark ballroom and pulse in excitement of being seen. He wishes he could show you more hidden gems, but your spectral spirit cannot be too far away from your body. 
But it's enough.
A month passes and Cater notices subtle change in your behaviour as well as appearance, like how you're responding with less enthusiasm and how the hole in your chest is growing bigger. When he finally asks about it, he's told that ghosts generally only stay in the world of the living for 49 days, and their heart will rot away in this period. After that, they will have to go to the underworld, never be back again.
Cater is certainly shocked that the lore is more than a children's makeup story. He is well aware of the significance of the heart in relation to the soul and life. 
He asks if you'd like to have his heart instead, so bluntly and casually. You seem to return to their original intimate self when you refuse. 
"I'm already gone. It's you, the living, who should be making changes,"
So he pretends that you're not getting more and more unresponsive and less and less generous. He turns a blind eye against your wavering figure and how you can't be seen at all in the sun. He plays dumb when in reality, you're slipping away before his very own eyes, heart rotting away like nothing more than a fruit.
It hurts finally knowing and understanding someone and having to lose them. 
On the 48th day, you are already but a still, soulless shadow, leaning beside your gravestone and fresh, white flowers. Cater can still see you. Sometimes he thinks that you chose to be seen.
And he can't bear to see you go. To see your dreams go into flames, to watch such a pretty soul just - vanish.
So he gives you his heart. Alive and beating and sentimental. It doesn't even hurt a bit. 
You wake up immediately, your eyes glowing and body solidifying. 
"What have you done?" 
"What I can do to make a change,"
Time is starting to rewrite itself. Cater is going to die in your place. The space around you was warping and folding into itself, softly and rightly like a lullaby.
Just before you slip into darkness, you gather up a whole bunch of rose petals and desperately stuff them into the hole in Cater's chest, as if they can give him life in lieu of a heart, and you are sobbing and clinging onto his still warm arm, never wanting to let go.
It's all Cater wants, to save a wasted soul and to make a difference. 
And so he cradles your face, and leans in the moment everything goes black. When he wakes up again, he's weightless in the cemetery, where a bunch of well arranged roses lie on his buried body.

a melancholy specimen
To Jade, beauty needs to be preserved to be constant. It's just like flowers. They die away without proper care.
Just when he thinks he's seen all the beauties of the world and is getting bored of it, he meets you. A blooming flower sparkling in the bland, old boring world around it. He's immediately captivated - how a person can still manage to flourish in such a rotten world where everything is depressing and all man is for themselves!
You're the most elegant piece of art he's seen, and that's something considering that he owns a museum. Innocence lies in your eyes and bravery sings itself between your lips.
You find him just equally amusing -- gentlemanly, insightful and just a touch of flirtation. The two of you fall in love like Alice down the rabbit hole - amused and unstoppable, fascinated by the wonders evolving about.
But the world doesn't give a damn about love, nor do they understand your dreams of a bright future where everything is close to hearts. They call you both madness and nonsense.
"Their souls are tainted with war and sorrow. They are beyond the point of rescue. Victory and glory are all that can feed their ego,"
Jade is disappointed. War has gouged people's eyes out and filled them with wails and ash.
The two of you are the only stars in the night sky, still fighting for salvation, yearning for a better future where trees grow and flowers yearn for the sun. You promote and do your best to lift the veil of darkness off the world. 
But the sun doesn't understand either. War keeps going on and on, and people never have the time for aesthetic relaxations. It refuses to shed light on its pitiable humans.
"We should evacuate, Jade. They say a bomb is dropping tomorrow,"
Jade doesn't care and can't care. The most paramount thing is to open his eyes to the beauty of this world. He doesn't want to become one of those barbarous men, tasting dirt and blood on their tongue while they glorify violence and brutalness.
He stays behind while his neighbourhood dies away. You are the only ones yet to leave. 
"Please don't leave me, Y/N. You're the only light in my life,"
You can't bear to leave him, and so you stay. The bomb is dropped, and it's too close. Too hot. Too cruel, too inhumane. It ravages everything in its way, burning all the darkened things to the ash and bringing the only beauty left in this world with it.
Jade wails. Broken cries are engulfed by nearby explosions and the cackling of flames. Your soulless body lies amidst the destruction, just another wilted flower in the slit of a rock, deprived of water and sunlight.
He finally understands. Nothing can save the world anymore. It's gone way too far, and it will never recover from malevolence. All he can feel is pity for his world as his heart ache with spite.
Bandages around his hands, he wraps your corpse up completely, preserved underneath the layers. You will be his reminder that there was once a flower in this drought, an anchor keeping him from becoming one of those barbarians.

lifeless silhouette in the dark night
You can never recognize directions. You find yourself stumbling upon a seemingly inhabited mansion in the middle of the woods. Cold and bruised, you knock on its door.
Welcoming you is a tall man with blonde and lilac hair called Vil. His skin is unnaturally white, and his eyes seem to glow like orbs that eat your souls. But you are too tired to make notice of all these details, and he's kind enough to let you stay for the night.
He treats you with ravishing cuisine and a grand bedroom that was as grotesque as the rest of the house. Afterwards, he leaves you to rest, but not before warning you not to get out of the room post midnight.
You oblige- for the first half hour. Then you start to hear wails and footsteps that amplify and disappear. It's impossible to sleep.
The next morning, you confront Vil about it. He refuses to face the questions as he ushers you to get going, and so off you go.
You spend another day lost in the woods, then somehow come face to face with the mansion again. Vil is beyond shocked to see you, but then he breaks into a deep smile.
"It's almost as if you belong here,"
Weirdly enough, you could agree, There seemed to be an invisible force pulling you towards Vil. After dinner, he orders you not to leave the room again before making his leave.
Broken wails. Recurring footsteps. You can't bear it any longer, and you also wonder if Vil is aware of this. He properly is, and thus tells you to stay safe inside the room.
But dumb curiosity gets the best of you, and you open the door and step into the endless corridors.
The wails come from the host's room, where Vil is supposed to be. You're closing in when its door is suddenly flung open, and out runs a panting Vil.
"Vil? What are-"
His eyes are bloodshot and there's red stain in the corner of his mouth. Sweat dots his forehead. He looks disheveled and the complete opposite of how he was during dinner.
"You shouldn't be here. Get back - get back in!"
His voice booms in your skull, and you're running back to your room before you notice. 
It's another sleepless night.
To your luck, Vil doesn't wait for you to bring the incident up.
"Don't be creeped ou by it, please."
He seems very uneasy about it, but he's obstinate to give you an explanation.
Turns out that he is a vampire. One that has lived for 500 years and is waiting for his eventual death. He's seen everything in this world and lived through the best and worst of humanity. He understands people's fear about vampires, and so he resides in the remote part of the wood. He only ever drinks the blood of small animals that he hunt, and never has he once killed a man.
He knew nothing about what'd happen to him when he became a vampire. If he'd known about the repercussions, he'd never have become one in exchange of eternal beauty. Now he has to turn someone else into a vampire to end his immortality. It is only a cycle.
 Every night the moon rises and spills into his room, and he has to fight his urge to go out and taste the sweet blood of humans. 
There are times when he slips and loses control, but he always manages to get back to his senses. But it seems that your presence here in the mansion is awaking his desire to suck you dry.
You're bewildered to say the least, and frankly horrified. But at the same time you feel pity for him, for he is just a man who can't ever do anything as atrocious as hurting people.
And so you offer to end his suffering. Of course Vil disagrees. He just talked about how he never wanted to take a life, and now you're offering yourself to him? He'd never allow it.
But you're even more persistent. You keep staying in his mansion, and his sanity slips a little more every night. And you know that he's contemplating too, for he never tries to kick you out of his mansion.
"You deserve a rest, Vil. For your love and selflessness. For all the unspoken kindness you bestow on others. It is only fair that you get to rest,"
Vil has lived a life. He's but a mere walking corpse now, and a rest -- a sleep -- sounds just like what he needs.
And so he rests. Vil falls into a deep, serene sleep while you endure each and every dark night.

This is part four of my Artemis fowl post, basically I decided, against my better judgement to watch the movie adaptation of Artemis fowl, aka my entire childhood. So I actually am making this as I watch it, Everytime I see an inconsistency I will pause it, take a picture, and then find in the book one or more example of why that is wrong. If you haven't seen part one, 2 or 3 you should read those first

22. Ok so Butler died in this movie and Holly was able to heal that by just pushing him, Which he didn't die or come close to dying until the 3rd book and it was a very big deal and wasn't a simple process, it was actually very risky, and had the consequences of making him older.

This is just insulting.

So I don't know if you need a refresher but he KIDNAPPED her! Like in the first book they're very wary, and very distrustful of the other and she hates him because kidnap. And even in the second one she doesn't willing help him she is forced too because of circumstances and is not happy and hates him. They do eventually become friends but that's through years of going through life and death experiences together, nearly dying, saving each other's lives, growing a mutual respect and admiration for the other, like it takes a while for obvious reasons and the friendship is developed really nicely in the books but here she's just like "oh you kidnapped me, lol it's fine, water under the bridge :)" like um no??
So my thoughts so far are What the fuck?? So they changed the ENTIRE plot of the ENTIRE series then?? I knew there would be a lot of changes but not the entire book! Ok so In the first book Artemis senior has been missing for a year or two, and Angeline has been suffering through a severe depression that is causing her to become delusional. Artemis, a genius and criminal master mind who is nothing like regular children his age, while internet surfing found information on fairies and dug deeper, he became interested and went to capture the book, he did this so he could later kidnapp Holly short, a fairy, and use her as ransom for gold, the gold would be used to try to find Artemis' father and restore the family fortune to billionaire status, he does later change his mind and decide to give half of it back to Holly to heal his mother. Now the movie, Artemis senior is home and a wonderful father apparently, and Angeline is dead. Artemis, a pretty dumb kid and who is basically every children's movie kid hero (you know the one who LOVES magic and is full of wimsy! And is a good kid! And just wants to help!) and who knows nothing about his family's buisness. His dad gets kidnapped by opal. who claims his father stole something from her, and Artemis is then told that his father knew about fairies and magic and all that but also that his family for generations have been collecting artifacts from these magical people, which they keep in a secret room and artemis has to use this knowledge to get his dad. Also holly short isn't just trying to do her job and move up in the world and having to deal with sexism. No she's trying to clear her father's name?? I don't understand why they put the Artemis fowl name to it! They changed everything! Like it would've been fine as your typical children's fantasy adventure movies, not good, but it wouldn't have gotten hate, it would've been your average, run of the mill kids movies that still wouldve made money cause kids want to see that and parents will tolerate it, but why put the Artemis fowl name to have nothing from Artemis fowl?? Like if they had changed the characters' names and the title they could've just made an average movie but instead they said it was Artemis fowl when it was not and angered the fans! The books were a big part of my childhood and I honestly still enjoy reading them, I understand making changes but not such giant crucial parts, like the PLOT. I started realizing the biggest flaw with the movie when opal and cudgeon came in, while opal and cudgeon do work together it's in the 2nd book. In the first one cudgeon tries to work against commander root in order to get a better job, however it goes terribly wrong and root ends up getting him into trouble with the counsel along with fucking up his face, this gives cudgeon a reason to want revenge in the second book. Here we don't get to see that development. But I guess this was trying to combine the first and second book which makes absolutely no sense. They shouldve stuck to the first book and then they probably wouldn't have nearly as many problems but by combining two plots that aren't supposed to be combined we get this mess of inconsistencies. They basically grabbed two separate puzzles and disfigured the pecies to force it to fit together into one big puzzle and the result was disastrous. I will once again say though. Please do not harrash the actors, some of them are literal children and even the adults, they had nothing to do with it, I honestly thought the acting was decent, and they did their best, they were just doing their jobs and had absolutely nothing to do with the story of the movie, they obviously had little to no say in how the movie was done, so please do not harras the actors for this garbage movie.
Final opinion. This movie was god awful both as an adaptation and just as a story in general. I despised it, and It made me angry to watch it.
And my final say on it is

Hi Khale. This isn't really a question, more like whining, but I've just been so frustrated lately. Before the bipolar manifested, I used to be constantly creating, no matter my mood. Every single day, I was doing something with my hands, and it felt so good to surround myself in things that I had made. I felt like I was in a little dimension of my own, with things I was proud of always within arms reach. I felt worthy and alive and warm, because I was one of those people who DID things, but now
“now I feel like I can't do anything. I try to create, and it doesn't work. I try to pick up my hobbies, but it all seems so ugly to me now. I have this need in my heart to create, but it's like I'm all out of fuel. I look at my old creations and they seem so much better and happier and full of character, but now everything is dead. I feel like I lost a spark and I have no idea how to get it back. I've been creating all my life and I don't know how to cope when I'm not doing that. I'm scared thatthat I've lost such an important part of myself to my mental illness and it's never coming back. People say to just keep trying but when I create now, more often than not I start crying or get angry and it just distances me more from wanting to do it. I can't find inspiration anymore, and nothing seems to help. I'm sorry for whining so much, I just needed to get some fears off of my chest. Thank you, Khale.”
 It’s perfectly OK to write just to get some fears off your chest. I identified a lot with your words. I lost my creativity too, years ago, when I first started on medication for my depression. In my life until then, I’d constantly been creating. I would draw for hours a night, and I always had new and fresh ideas. This stream of creativity was the most central part of my sense of self, and even though in my every day life I was incredibly depressed, at least when I was creating I knew who I was. 
When I started on medication, all of a sudden, my creativity just... ceased. I would sit in front of a page or canvas, and my mind would be blank. I just didn’t have any ideas. I tried drawing things that were familiar, that usually sparked something in me, but it was like nothing wanted to come out of me. I had been an illustrator my whole life, and now suddenly I couldn’t draw. This was a heartbreaking time for me - was this really going to be the cost of getting better? Losing my most precious sense of self? 
A few things really helped me to find a way to be creative again. Firstly, my then-partner bought me an art-therapy book. There are actually many books designed for people with mental illnesses that contain self-directed art therapy exercises. The book asked me to do things like make collages, write prose, draw patterns, experiment with colours - a lot of simple activities that not only helped me to explore my feelings about my recovery, but were (crucially) different from the way I usually create. These activities were completely new to me, so I didn’t feel pressure for them to be ‘good’, because I didn’t have a previous standard to compare them to. And most importantly, they got my hands moving - even if it was something as simple as cutting pictures out from a magazine, I was using my hands to do SOMETHING. 
After I worked my way through my first art therapy book, I still couldn’t sit down and illustrate like I used to, but I felt confident that if I had a framework, and I was doing something new (so that I didn’t despair that I couldn’t create anything as good as my old work), then I could at least create something. At that point, I started writing notes about my recovery (I hadn’t kept any consistent sort of journal since I was a teenager) and as an experiment, put some of these notes in order on a page to make a story, with the hopes that I could communicate to my partner how I was feeling in this whole process. That’s how I started writing I Do Not Have An Eating Disorder - I’d always read comics, but I’d only really dabbled in creating them, and didn’t really know what I was doing. I knew that what I was drawing was not my best illustration work. Some of it was downright awful. But it was new, and that learning process kept me interested enough to keep doing it. My sketchbook went untouched for months - then years - but at least if I was making these comic pages, I was doing SOMETHING. 
I know how awful it is to feel like your creativity has been stripped away from you. It’s a crucial part of who you are. But it’s not lost. It may have changed, it may now have to be expressed in ways you’re not used to, but you are still a creative person. 
I know it may be hard to find the energy to do anything, but if you can, try something new - something that you don’t have much experience with, and thus are allowed to suck at and learn from. Maybe it’s using online life drawing reference websites to do rapid-fire sketching, or a pottery class, or instructional dancing videos, or even something more structured like following an embroidery pattern, or those incredibly detailed adult colouring books that are all the rage right now. Allow yourself to take a break from your traditional media and explore your creativity in other ways. It’s OK if you’re not particularly good at it - you’re a beginner, no one expects you to be an expert. The important thing is to give yourself permission to do something just for the sake of doing it. 
There are a million ways to be creative. You may not be as connected to your usual stream of creativity now as you once were, but that doesn’t mean that there is no way for you to be an artist. It’s OK to acknowledge that you can’t do your expert-level work right now. You’re still allowed to explore creative processes and find something you enjoy. No one is judging you. 
I know it can be hard to do anything when mental illness is a significant factor in your life, and while I am doing all this talking about trying new things, it is just as important to first and foremost take care of yourself. If all you have energy for right now is getting out of bed each day to take a shower, that’s OK. You only have to do your best each day. With time and care, you will continue to grow in strength, and who knows what you’ll feel up to trying as you get better. But everything happens at your pace. You make the decisions for your life and body, and only you know what you feel capable of each day. It’s OK to be selfish and just look after yourself. 
Beautiful, you are doing so well on this journey. I know it feels impossible at times, but I promise you there is a way through this. You are stronger than you know. Please keep fighting. You are worth it. 
All my love, 
Khale xox
