@occasionalmaven replied to your post “the dresden files tv show will have you tearing...”:

As someone who’s never read the books or seen the show… do you recommend waiting to watch the show until I’ve read some of the books? 

hi! ​as someone who was in the same boat at the start of the year, and has since watched the entire show and read two of the books: not at all, you can jump into the show straight away if you want to! Dresden took the basic premise of the books and directly adapted a couple of them into episodes, but it mostly does its own thing with the characters and world.

personally I read Storm Front, the first book in the series, in parallel with the show. imo it was valuable in terms of adding depth to the worldbuilding (especially the magic system and its limitations) that the show couldn't fully explore within its 45 minute time slot. the tv version of Storm Front is a bit weird anyway, as it was cobbled together from the pilot episode and isn't representative of the show's final direction at all. I was actually advised to skip it entirely on my first run-through of the show - it doesn't fit tonally and interferes with the flow of the overall narrative. so I was able to safely take in both the book and show in parallel as I knew that the show wouldn't spoil the book's ending for me! it was a convoluted but cool way to enter the Dresdenverse 😭👍

but it's absolutely not necessary to read the books, especially as the show alters most things and introduces new overarching plots that are really unexpectedly good. it also expands upon certain book characters so drastically and so well that it's hard to believe that the version in the show is basically a tv original. Bob the Skull is kind of Dresden tv's version of the Cleonic Dynasty haha, a lot of people who don't like the show still think tv!Bob was a great idea. honestly the whole adaptation style is similar to Foundation - it's cool to have the extra context of the book, but it veers so far from the original stories so often that it's not as much of a help as you'd expect.

but yes please give this show a try! I compare it a lot to mid-2000s Doctor Who for a reason - it can be kinda goofy in tone and the CGI was made on a budget of approximately $3, but it's got so much heart and goes from "wacky supernatural romp" to "unexpectedly emotional character study" when you least expect. it's also very pretty to look at - it's shot and lit shockingly well for the budget, and everyone involved including the set dressers and cinematographers are clearly giving it everything. it's 12 episodes in a monster-of-the-week format so it's very zippy, and the acting is also fantastic across the board. obviously I'm biased as hell and think the Paul Blackthorne - Terrence Mann shared braincell double act is the best thing ever and only gets better as the series progresses. but even the actors who show up for a single episode are excellent! the one-off characters in episodes 3, 9 and 10 are among my favourites :3

Wishlist:

Gimme that ride or die friendship where the greeting to each other is “die” and the natural response is, “naw, u first”; the one where they get into bar fights bc one or both of them are absolute dipshits and if one of them starts something, u know ur obligated no-thoughts-head-empty-style in getting in there urself no matter how stupid it is. It’s always open season to bully tf outta each other. They’re tired as all hell of the other, but who else is gonna have the ol’ slugger’s back? Lowkey, highkey(?), it’s the sort of, “aw, for fuck’s sake, i’m probably gonna die with your stinking corpse next to me u stupid bastard.” (For the modern verse and deadlock, possibly for the period western verse too i sppose??)

i am always looking for discussions on the nature of religio.n with this character, whether your muse has religious trauma or sincerely practices faith; let me come into ur inbox with that "are you praying again? How raw are your knees"

Adrenaline mistaken for love; ["love is when you’re wrestling for control of the gun and there’s only one bullet left. love is when you grab the knife theyre swinging at you by the blade and look into their eyes and laugh. love is when someone is so obsessed with you they have to kill you."]

Hateships, but we will have to discuss this; Cole doesn't harbor hate for long. He'll dislike you, disagree with you, but can remain cordial. I've yet to knuckle into what he can't swallow. He's less raw and vulnerable at the age of 37-39, so saddling into this will mean either working out histories or writing with a younger variant.

Frenemies is p fun.

Bounty character? meets bounty hunter. They bitch at each other.

And in the reverse: somebody coming after his ridiculously priced bounty, lord help him.

Bounty rivalry?! Bickering over who gets the cash and losing the bastard in the midst of it. Having to work together to get said asshole back.

Escort, recon, undercover or guard mission, hello 👋

Im always down for blackwatch era ocs? Gang era ocs? Hell yea, hell yea.

Kiddo cole is so fckin funny to me, if u want to deal w this pissy punk of a teenager, pls, god, let me know. No weird shit tho, i beg.

the nikk.i la.uda to his jam.es hunt,,,,

Roadtrip threads 

Threads where he’s still in prison. Modern, Period, or an AU where he never accepted BW.

i need more threads of cole acting as or during when he was a gang enforcer (modern)

3 Godfathers/Tokyo Godfathers plot for Modern or Western (and i suppose it can work for Post-Apocalypse or OVW between either him as a runaway or him post-BW). The idea is that the muses find an abandoned child and take up the mantel of trying to take care of it while trying to find their parent. The important part of this is that there is a certain level of underqualification to the muses that results in a sort of chaos. I'm not looking for domestic, fluffy end game for this; the bulk would be on exploring nonconventional guardianship. Trying to do the right thing despite being seemingly built for everything but. The original short story involves the trio all dying by the time they deliver the child to the safe harbor of a town.

Not so much an active wishlist but a possible dynamic for modern: The first responder who found him beneath the farm equipment when he lost his arm, or the physical therapist that helped to fit him with a prosthetic.

Dynamics and threads in which he is still in prison for Modern would be interesting, whether your character is also an inmate, a worker of volunteer, or somebody who is dealing with this man making a getaway.

character specific:

pls,,, if u have a cassidy, lmk, let’s have them fight -- pls, i am so desperate to see them kick each other’s asses

would like to explore further ak.ande’s attempt to suggest talon was an option; hell, it’d be an interesting conversation to be had with other characters as well.

Repurpose and Promote Your Short-Form Videos to Expand Your Audience

Step one is to create short-form videos. Read more about that here in these two articles:

Use Short-Form Video To Establish Yourself As an Authority

7 ways short-form video establishes you as an authority

medium.com

Ways to Create An Effective Short Video Showcasing You As An Expert

8 ways to create an effective short video for your audience

medium.com

But it does not end there.

In order to maximize your authority and expertise, repurpose every video:

Regularly update with some new examples: Re-make all popular videos with a few new insights, data, examples, etc.

Build course: Compile all of your best short-form videos on a subject into a full course. Sell accessibility for revenue.

Create an audio version: Take out only the audio from the video and add it into a podcast episode. Then, publish on places such as Spotify.

Re-edit into lengthier tutorials: Take a one minute overview video and then re-edit that video into a more detailed five minute tutorial.

Develop social media snippets: Take brief 5 to 15 second segments from the video to share as a teaser across your social network.

Turn into a blog post: Transcribe all video scripts and turn them into fleshed out blogs. In more detail, expand upon key points. Include a few screenshots from your video as visuals.

Natively post on several channels: Upload the video right onto Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and any other place your viewers are present.

Repurposing will expand your audience and allow you to recycle the exact same advice in various formats. Turn every short-form video into a complete authority-building, multi-channel asset.

Promote Short-Form Videos to Reach More People

You have put in the hard work to develop valuable, authoritative video content. However, don’t stop there! Distribution and promotion are critical to having the videos viewed by the right audience.

Below is a list of effective strategies you can use to maximize viewership:

Share and compile “best of” playlists of your best videos in order to generate more expert advice views.

Use influencer marketing by having partners react to and share your content.

Embed all of your videos into emails, landing pages, and blog posts to double your exposure.

Collaborate with other people with established audiences. You can ask if they’d be interested in cross-promotion.

Share all of your videos in relevant LinkedIn and Facebook groups associated with your topics and industry. Engage with all of your commenters.

Run paid promos through native ad formats such as TikTok ads, Facebook/Instagram boosting, YouTube ads, etc. Make sure you target your own niche demographic.

In your profile bios, include links across platforms that point to your video channel or most recent video.

With a promotion strategy, it’s possible to turn a casual viewership into long-term, engaged audience members looking to you as an authority figure.

Just wanted to say I UPDATED this two year old fic (lmao) to basically write a whole new chapter 1 to add some more establishing scenes, change what month certain things happened to fit what I had originally intended, copied over and expanded upon some Scorpion stuff in chapter 2, and moved a part of the original chapter 1 into a separate third chapter, making this fic now 6 chapters total instead of 4.

—

fic info for anyone who hasn't read it:

Title: These are not the clothes I had on when I went to bed Rating: Teen And Up Categories: F/M, Gen Fandom: Spider-Man (Comicverse) (well, sort of) Relationships: Peter Parker/Betty Brant Characters: Peter Parker, Flash Thompson, May Parker (Spider-Man), Otto Octavius, Felicia Hardy, Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, Mac Gargan Additional Tags: Canon-Typical Violence, Alternate Universe, Frenemies, Peter is a Jackass, Awkward Flirting, Gen or Pre-Slash, Broken Bones, Major Character Injury, Abuse, Hospitals, Rejection, Peter Parker has the Venom Symbiote Words: 23, 946 Doctor Octopus, the Venom symbiote, and Spider-Man walk into a bar. (Or: the story of how Flash loses his legs)

—

For anyone who doesn't already know, this is part of my unnecessarily detailed personal AU which is a wholly distinct timeline separate from comics continuity or other adaptations, and has its own timeline and internal continuity.

This fic, I wrote in 2021, but the new expanded version shows the origin of Doc Ock and, now, after transplanting a chunk from a more recent fic and adding some extra scenes, the origin of The Scorpion as well, and interplays these two as his first big ass-beatings a little more consistently, with some minor shuffling of events as I realized I had placed certain events... slightly out of order from my original intention... (whoops)

—

Also... as I wrote out this text post I realized I was gonna write in mentions of prom in the new (and very brief) chapter 3 to explain why peter is suddenly single after graduating from high school... i already had the details of his and betty's breakup written down in my notes two years ago, I just never wrote it as prose, so, might be good if the reader also knew lmao... so I might do that later this week. Will update this post if I do 👍

tl;dr though, it's basically just the same as what happens in Webspinners: Tales of Spider-Man #7-#9 (though I plan to make some modifications and am not gonna just novelize an existing comic that is itself a retelling lmao)
