No post today

Hey. Sorry, I don’t have anything to toss at y’all today. Got a big assignment to work on freakishly early in the semester, but never fear, my dear children. I’m using today to both work on my accursed classwork, but also to work on some larger essays I’m planning on posting soon. I plan on having an analysis of the themes in The Last Wish up next week, and I still have my take on House, M.D. in…

Writing Villains - Part 3 - The Twist Villain

Ah, yes, here we go again. Once more, I am gushing about Morrowind, and today, we are having a look at the character I love to hate the most; Almalexia, Lady of Mercy, Morrowind’s twist villain. Thanks to Disney, twist villains have an undeserved bad rep. Due to being overdone (and poorly so, at that), they’re considered to be cliche, boring, and uncreative, which really couldn’t be further from…

A little somethin I’m cookin up

Seems to me like character studies are gonna be my bread and butter for the time being, and Morrowind can’t sustain me forever, so I’ve decided to try my hand with House, M.D., and pick apart our titular jerk face, Doctor Gregory House. I’m currently working my way through the first season, and once I have my notes, I’ll start working on a coherent study. I’m also considering writing a…

Writing Villains - Part 2 - The Anti-Villain

Welcome back to Why Morrowind is Awesome and Why Fantasy Writers Need to Take Notes. Today we will discuss the Anti-Villain trope, using Vivec as my case study. To start off, let’s define some things; what the heck is an Anti-Villain? Maybe you’ve heard of an Anti-Hero, which is considerably more popular. Put simply, Anti-Villains are a foiled, subverted image of an Anti-Hero and are typically…

Writing Villains - Part 1 - The Classic

Well, well, well, look at where my fixations have gotten me lately. Looks like we’re calling on the classics this week. And as much as I adore Morrowind, no, this is not just an excuse for me to gush about it.

Well, well, well, look at where my fixations have gotten me lately. Looks like we’re calling on the classics this week. And as much as I adore Morrowind, no, this is not just an excuse for me to gush about it. “Morrowind?!” your Gen-Z-brain-having self might be asking, your nose wrinkling in disgust. “Ew! Didn’t that come out in like, 2002?”  Yes, my dear child, it is that old. And it’s called…

How to Write A Gut-Punching Death Scene (And How to Avoid Making It Cheesy)

Alright, kiddies, it’s that time of the week again! Time for me to scrub your brains so your work suits my image.  Today’s lesson revolves around writing death scenes. There are different ways to go about this, but we will be focusing on those of the make-you-ugly-cry variety. My favorite. We will go over a few guidelines to abide by, and I will include a few examples from pop culture to give…
