Tiktok sensation LightLark is the final boss of bad fantasy YA— a failure built on aesthetic boards and tropes, unable to pretend it has a heart

Tiktok sensation LightLark is the final boss of bad fantasy YA— a failure built on aesthetic boards and tropes, unable to pretend it has a heart

View On WordPress (Includes audio version)

A full summary with spoilers, analysis, quotes- and so much more on the subject of a book you should never read. This is a long piece. Like ‘Youtube Video Essay’ long.

Lightlark is joyless, a husk beyond parody, a checklist of every Island of Blood and Bone and Glass and Hearts that has come out in the last five years, built and sold on tropes and aesthetic boards. This is a book written by an author who is not a writer. It would fit in on the dregs of an amateur writing site with eerie perfection.

But Lightlark is more than that. You see, Lightlark is… a TikTok book.

EDIT:

Thanks :')

There's now a video version. I heard Tumblr likes video essay long watches on obscure very specific content... may I introduce you to:

I'm not making a dime on this, I have no horses, only like 70 hours of work looking at this mess of a book and I just want to make sure everyone knows how bad it is. Let's be bitter at this multimillionaires flop together.

Mamma Mia AU but it's Fright Knight this time????

Clockwork had handed over a journal of sorts to Danny out of the blue and tells him that it's the journal that Fright Knight uses when he travels to the mortal realm whenever he is forced to go on 'vacations' by the observers (They need breaks from his existence every now and then).

Danny decides to run all the way to Sam and Tucker to read this book, and the two are all for reading what could possibly be the best or most boring drama of Fright Knight in the human realm.

Cue the everlasting trio going "Honey honey" from Mamma Mia while reading FK's earth diary and find out that he had 3 different human flings in the span of a a few decades.

There are also Polaroid photos of a human disguised FK with 3 very different men, from a few different time periods with dates and names + little messages on the back.

Although 2 names stand out to the trio out of the 3 names, one being that weird magician who's soul is split so much between ghosts that they could be considered Pokemon cards at this point in the Infinite Realms. The other name is one of a certain himbo billionaire of Gotham's butler, though FK affectionately calls him "Alfie" in the journal and on the photos.

-----------------------------------

(I'm just imagining that in his human disguise, FK is like Morticia Addams or a morbid Brucie Wayne but more.)

(And yes I did do the mamma mia thing- They will be reunited at one point and it will end up as a possible triangle or square for a while.)

#dc x dp #alfred pennyworth #john constantine #fright knight #danny phantom #dc universe #fright knight is a ghost morticia addams #clockwork is there for the drama #popcorn in hand while messing with the observers #since they did this to themselves when they sent fright knight on multiple vacations #alfred was probably a young adult and the first one #john was the third one #possible Ra's being the second???

We’re really living in a world where Toga targeted Ochako for being close to Deku but is also fixated on her because she’s everything she wishes she could be while Shigaraki targeted Bakugo for being close to Izuku because doing all the bad things he does and still having someone stick by him and be his hero is everything he wants and we are reading about it right there on the page and right there in the text and right there in the themes and their desire for connection is driving their fights and it is right there on the page and they are all in love and it is RIGHT THERE ON THE PAGE

When Wally was finally able to acknowledge that his mother not only hurt him but was responsible for his death, when he took off his jersey with a look of relief and immeasurable grief and hurt, when he was finally able to give up on his mother's dream that he let define his life and afterlife beyond reason

I really felt that

#school spirits #that scene had me in tears #the courage it took wally to make a change like that after 40 years in the afterlife is simply stunning #like I have never felt so seen by a piece of media like I have by this one #the writers really get teens/young adults in a way you rarely see in media like this #school spirits may be the best high school drama I have ever seen #wally clark

yes i am an adult male who loves high school dramas this is because i literally never experienced normal coming of age drama like ever and am disconnected from the collective experience of having a relatable peer group forever hope that helps

#i JUST want to experience high school #without like. my whole shitty life thing having gone on #i want to go to high school and have stupid drama and sexuality crises and worries about grades #not... That #i never had that im never going to have that #can i get (one) permission to go a little crazy if i survive into a university #fuck everyone befriend and be-enemy everyone get all up in peoples stupid mind numbingly low stakes drama #i want that sweet golden experience where the worst thing ill ever fear is annoying my classmates #or accidentally spilling something on someone at a dance #i deserve it i deserve to have had a childhood and a young adulthood and a life #i deserve to have dealt with unserious issues to prepare me for bigger ones #rather than serious danger that leaves me permanently severed from normal people and life #and makes me incapable of reacting proportionally or finding it in me to care about less serious problems #like yes it sucks your mom is going to miss college graduation #but i thank my lucky stars that you are not dying or being abused or starved or beaten or exploited #i literally dont know how to take things seriously a lot of the time like im not able to even if i try #because to me the mildest real problem is someone purposefully isolating you and ruining your health #the MILDEST #i try to care ab simple stuff i really do i just CANT #and it sucks so much trying to be a good friend and kind feeling like i cant do enough #the loud thought 'i wish that hapoened to me/i wish i worried about that/i wish the people i love only had that as a problem' #i get so envious. like thank fucking god your parents divorced like normal adults when it should be over #thank fucking god that 'friend' cut you off when they were actively insulting you and betraying your trust #thank the fucking universe that shitty partner dumped you before you fkn hurt yourself over them #yk? #and its a 'mean/cold' way to think about it but i just dont have the capacity to think or feel the little picture #i can imagine my friends subjected to such horror even tho i dont want to

The problem with house of the dragon is that it wants to be both the war criminals dragon show, and the tragic lesbians show and one of those is hilarious and the other makes me want to kill myself

#i was rewatching in reverse #which is worse actually? #because adult rhaenyra and alicent are on opposite sides of a civil war drama #but young rhaenyra and alicent are two idiots in love #and also emily carey really just kills in every scene #house of the dragon #rhaenicent

Albrecht not realizing the impact he has on people...

Listen I can't stop thinking that the Tales of Duviri are based on childhood stories Albrecht told Euleria and he just thought it was a silly nonsense thing.

My man you were raising your daughter what did you think would happen.

Did Albrecht always hate himself... He must have had Euleria out of a sense of responsibility and just did what he thought a father was supposed to do but he somehow miraculously wasn't too bad with it.

"I had raised her alone but with inconsistent vigor."

And yet... she admired you, her losing you drove her to the depths of madness and tore her own family apart.

#wf tag #entrati family drama #im sick in the head #my headcanon is that Euleria was already a young adult when Loid appeared #she was old enough to assist in the labs and be trusted with important tasks #and by that time Loid was also an established scientist #ok maybe she was a teenager but yknow #Albrecht raised her when it was important #and set the foundations of her character #(chews glass)

I read somewhere that there is a yellowjackets discord out there that has a capping age of 30. So when someone turns 30 do you just kick them out at midnight? Once you're 30 you're no longer allowed to enjoy media and can't participate in discussions about them. stay out old people ❌🙅❌ (anyone 30+) ❌🙅❌

#yellowjackets isnt a typical teen drama its center-focused on their adult 40-something-year-old counterparts #and reflects on their traumas and their histories with each other from their teen years #so how are you barring 30+ year-olds from participating in discussions about a show that can be marketed toward such a vast audience #its a teen drama TO YOU it's an adult drama to me #💭 #like I understand that some 'younguns' are uncomfortable sharing online spaces with people over a certain age #but if so I think you're too young to be running a fandom discord sorry
