*IMPORTANT REPORTING* A Times Investigation Tracked Israel’s Use Of One Of Its Most Destructive Bombs

some interesting stuff I found on the blog of Oriental DreamWorks (an animation company that DreamWorks once held shares in)

Oriental DreamWorks once released the constellation information of the characters during the promotion period of httyd2🤩

Hiccup-Aries (Hiccup’s birthday in the book is February 29th, aka Pisces. I personally think that Oriental Dreamworks made a tiny mistake, has reversed the astrological signs of Hiccup and Astrid)

Astrid-Pisces

Toothless-Scorpio

Stormfly-Libra

Fishlegs-Cancer

Ruff and Tuff-Gemini

Snotlout-Sagittarius

Stoick-Taurus

Valka-Capricornus

Gobber-Gemini

Note: this information is for entertainment purposes only, DreamWorks has not confirmed the zodiac signs of the characters officially

i think good conversationalists are genuinely impressive and a fulfill a vital role in party compositions. i tend to use a more defense oriented listener build myself in less familiar situations though it is not as helpful to the group in scenarios where high dps is needed

*helps a bug outside so people don't kill it*

*flash forward and I'm convicted of a crime I didn't commit*

*no lawyer touches the case for me*

*everyone hears a buzz and turns around*

*the bug is wearing a tiny suit with a tiny suitcase and becomes my defense attorney*

The Five Types of Readers That Read Your Fantasy Book (For Writers)

As a fantasy writer, understanding your target audience is crucial for the success of your book. Knowing the different types of readers who are drawn to the genre can help you tailor your writing to their preferences and create a more engaging experience. In this blog post, I'll help you explore the five types of readers that are likely to read your fantasy book and provide insights into their characteristics and expectations.

The Escapist Reader

The first type of reader is the Escapist. These readers are looking for a break from reality and crave immersion in a rich and imaginative world. They are drawn to epic quests, magical creatures, and fantastical settings. As a writer, you can capture their attention by crafting a vivid and detailed world, filled with intricate plotlines and larger-than-life characters. Engaging their sense of wonder and providing an escape from their everyday lives will keep them hooked from the first page to the last.

The World-Builder

The next type of reader is the World-Builder. These readers are fascinated by the intricacies of world-building and the lore that shapes the fantasy realm. They enjoy exploring the history, mythology, and geography of the fictional world you create. To captivate these readers, focus on developing a well-constructed and cohesive world that feels authentic and believable. Pay attention to the small details, establish consistent rules of magic, and provide glimpses into the rich tapestry of your universe.

The Character-Driven Reader

Another important type of reader is the Character-Driven reader. These readers are emotionally invested in the journeys and growth of the characters they encounter. They want to experience the highs and lows alongside the protagonists, forming deep connections with them. To engage these readers, focus on creating well-rounded and relatable characters with compelling arcs. Develop their motivations, flaws, and relationships to evoke empathy and resonate with your audience on a personal level.

The Plot-Oriented Reader

The fourth type of reader is the Plot-Oriented reader. These readers are primarily interested in the twists, turns, and surprises that unfold throughout the story. They enjoy intricate and well-paced plots that keep them guessing. As a writer, you can capture their attention by crafting a narrative with unexpected twists, clever foreshadowing, and satisfying resolutions. Keep the suspense high and deliver a satisfying payoff to keep these readers engaged and coming back for more.

The Theme-Seeker

The final type of reader is the Theme-Seeker. These readers are drawn to the deeper meanings and messages embedded within a story. They enjoy exploring philosophical, moral, or social themes that resonate with them on a personal level. As a writer, you can captivate these readers by weaving thought-provoking themes into your narrative. Explore complex issues, challenge societal norms, and offer unique perspectives to stimulate their intellect and leave a lasting impact.

Conclusion

Understanding the different types of readers that are drawn to your fantasy book can help you tailor your writing to their preferences and create a more immersive experience. Whether you are capturing the attention of Escapist readers, captivating the World-Builders with your intricate lore, evoking emotions in Character-Driven readers, surprising Plot-Oriented readers, or stimulating the intellect of Theme-Seekers, knowing your audience is key. By crafting a story that resonates with these reader types, you increase your chances of creating a loyal fan base and achieving success as a fantasy writer.

Blow your readers mind. Happy writing!

WALLY AU LIST! Part 1 out of a few (maybe?)

I’ll slowly start tagging other because there so much!

I know I missed so much, I was getting the ones I knew out of the way because there’s so many! But I love drawing them they are so fun!

Sometimes I don’t even realise something is an expression because it’s so overused that it just sounds like what you’d learn from the basics of English. Like, “here’s pronouns, verbs, also look *insert common expression”.

I was talking to my cousin and I said something like “he was tryna not make it obvi and she didn’t automatically pick up what he was putting down.” And she said “wait, pick up what” and I, “what he was putting down”. A beat. “What was he putting down” and it took me forever to explain it was an expression because I’ve never registered it as one.
