The design for Helen in the graphic novel is absolutely gorgeous!!!
I can’t wait for the mortal instruments graphic novel series to be completed, and I hope they do end making graphic novels for some of the other series as well (a dark artifices graphic novel series would make me so happy)
SHES SOOO GORGEOUS!!! Cassandra Jean you ARE an icon!!!
As someone who is VERY fascinated with adaptation in film (who spent quuuuuuite some time back in college obsessing over it for assignments) and who adores the graphic novel, my biggest takeaway from Nimona is that it is an EXCELLENT adaptation. Especially considering how much that production went through! Like, all of the changes and things they expanded on made sense for the transition from book to movie. My second takeaway is that I love it <3 Please go watch it I beg of you 🙏
I'm gonna start Crocodile Tears today but then after I finish it I'll take a tiny Alex Rider break and read Rogue Protocol, because after months of waiting its finally my turn in the queue 🎉🙌
I remember absolutely adoring Crocodile Tears but as usual I don't remember anything about it :( I want to say it was my favourite of the books ..... but don't hold me to that because I was 12
making friends with pencil and magical notebook paper
Making Friends by Kristen Gudsnuk
Silly charming coroful characters that fully acknowledge that made themselves into the magical girls from their in-universe manga by using a magic notebook that brings everything drawn to life.
1st book: Danielle, our main characters, draws herself an imaginary friend to life. When said imaginary friend finds out she has a conflict of weather she has free will.
Another favourite moment in 2nd book when Danielle draws an aware-im-a-clone-and-am-chill-with-that and better-version-of-herself clone to interact with people and do schoolwork. I like this.
in 3rd book mom gets hold of notebook and draws Danielle into a better daughter. and then it ends weird but in a good way.
highlights:
our conspiracy-theorist friend
its a crime that I didnt take more pictures to show all the parodies/references of music, shows and even musicals (Les Sad)
10/10 would recommend.
