Meet Aurelia Len

  • Race: Human
  • Homeworld: Mondial
  • Age: 25
  • Likes: Having people underestimate her, killing her enemies, killing Kasten,
  • DIslikes: When people use her first name, losing, fancy clothes

While Len would describe herself as pragmatic or above sentimentality, others might choose words like “heartless” or “cruel.” As a summoner, she has created contracts with people and creatures from around the world and from worlds beyond. She enjoys nothing more than winning, except possibly seeing her enemies lose, and enjoys keeping powerful familiars to fight for her. When she fights, she wants to be up close and personal, because when she runs you through, she wants to see the look in your eyes when you’ve been beaten as you die. Her familiars are: Kasten, Corin, Vanaline, and Rynd.

Role Reversals and Defied Conventions: Thor’s Subversions of the Superhero Genre

image

Abstract: This analysis seeks to explore how the Thor film is subverts and reverses many standard conventions of the Superhero Origin Story film in relation to its protagonist, Thor, and its antagonist, Loki. The specific conventions discussed are: the hero being socially isolated, the hero discovering a previously unknown past or heritage, the hero developing new powers and responsibilities, and the hero within a battle of good versus evil.

The analysis in its entirety with accompanying gifs follows under the break.

Your name is MARSH and sometimes you really wish you weren’t GOD TIER. Unlike most of the others, you started developing your powers early, long before your TRANSFORMATION. You had a knowledge of the ends of things, and you dedicated your life to the SKAA REBELLION, knowing it would someday bring down THE FINAL EMPIRE. Then, of course, you give up just in time for your YOUNGER BROTHER to steal your VISION and accomplish it yourself.

You should have realized you wouldn’t be the one to accompish the task. You now know that being a SEER is a PASSIVE role and that while you wanted to be the one who made things happen, but you’re just there to help others acheive your dreams. The irony that becoming a fully fleged SEER meant that you had to lose your eyes was not lost on you either. 

Now it’s happening again. You always wanted a more ACTIVE role in bringing the end of the world. Now, you’re on the front lines, but of the wrong side. You can SEE exactly how the SECOND EMPIRE is going to fall. But once again, you’re not pulling the strings.

Someone’s pulling yours.

You are now a fully realized SEER OF DOOM and your planet is the LAND OF SPIKES AND OBSIDIAN.

What will you do?

My World Lit class was talking about how there was a lack of Brothers Karamazov fanfiction on the internet. So I did a thing.

With immense apologies to Fyodor Dostoyevsky…

Your name is LESTIBOURNES SPOOK and you are going to save this citÿ, no matter what. You have taken the people’s passion for yourself and you are using it to fuel your drive to help them. You are going to help them throw off their oppressors, just like KELSIER did. You have kind of COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF HIS TITLE as the new SURVIVOR , but you are a THIEF, so stealing things is nothing new to you. You think you might have taken your aspect a little too literally and burnt your GOD TIER outfit. From now on, you think you are going to avoid BLAZES of all kinds from now on.
Unless someone needs rescuing from a burning building or something, you guess. That might warrant an exception. And knowing URTEAU, there’s probably going to be more burning buildings around.
You are a (slightly more than) fully-realized THIEF OF BLAZE and your planet is the LAND OF PYRE AND SENSATIONS.
What will you do?

A Mistborn Interpretation in Response to Zenatness

zenatness:

featherwriter:

Author’s note: Originally I was planning to submit this directly to Zen, but the tumblr inbox was being dumb and kept eating all of my responses. Eventually I just decided to post it for all to see. That’s why there’s so many “you” pronouns though, because this was originally supposed to be sent as a message and I’m too lazy to change it. THIS RESPONSE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FINAL EMPIRE! IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST BOOK, DO NOT READ THIS RESPONSE!

This got so long D:

Okay, for the most part, I can see you’re set in your ways and I am set in mine, so I’ll go ahead and probably just agree to disagree. There’s a couple of points I’ll still talk about though.

In which I have oodles of questions.

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you. Life somewhat got in the way.

Bluh.

I’ve got a little free time tonight, so I’ll try to respond to some of the things you brought up. Ongoing discussion of the first sections is up first!

Your name is SAZED and while you’ve been a FERUCHEMIST player all your life, this level of GODHOOD is new to you. You never felt like you were much use to your team, which your research about the game has told you is common for PAGES such as yourself. Now it’s up to you to protect everyone. Thankfully, with your new powers, you know exactly where everything is, where everything needs to be, and you can move it there.
Before your ASCENSION, you liked studying religions and generally doing the opposite of whatever the SYNOD told you to do. Not out of a rebellious spirit (though you would probably disagree) but because something needed to be done, and you were tired of sitting in the background and waiting for the world to change itself. Now you’ve got all the world-changing abilities you could have ever asked for.
You are now a fully-realized PAGE OF SPACE, and your planet is the LAND OF RINGS AND FAITH.
What will you do?

I just... thank you. Thank you for that Mistborn analysis. It was everything I wanted to say but couldn't find the right wording to express.
