Enjoying the warm lamp light, and shadow play situation going on.
The softer light hides the wrinkles and receding hairline too! :P
I totally agree, we need more aspirational heroes. We live in such a postmodern world where stories often tend towards moral relativism and a lot of people have lost sight of right and wrong. We need more characters who embody virtue and do the right thing. Doesn't mean they can't be deep. By now the edgy antihero has been done to death anyway.
Yeah, the idea that being so flawed that you're practically a criminal or dysfunctional "adds depth" is quite possibly the most annoying storytelling trope of our time!
Always appreciate your awesome insight. Thank you.
Thank you, hope you're well. :)
Pleaseeee review Seeds of Yesterday
Noted! Will do very soon! :)
Heathcliff dies? You didn't give a spoiler alert (for a book that was published in 1847 😂)!
Do you think Lestat is aspirational ✨ ✨✨
Aspirational in a way. He's more of an anti-hero than a hero proper, but his charisma and style are definitely worth emulating!
YES to evil villains. I find that so many redemption moments for villains are so poorly done and don’t really work.
“Oh is this the part where I’m supposed to feel bad for them?”
It's also laughable in a lot of places too. "Oh you've tortured and killed people, but your mum was mean to you when you were a boy, I see! I guess that makes it all good then!"
@@JoshuaJClarkeKelsall I reckon writers underestimate how readers can appreciate evil when it's done right.
Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo got his revenge against very evil people, maybe doing some evil himself, as we cheered him on. It feels more rewarding to win over evil when there's no sad attempt of a redemption
