Moments that I watch the whole movie/read the whole book for


No but really, I do this. I will watch the whole movie or read the whole book just to experience one sweet, sweet moment of the whole thing. Out of context, it would make no sense and have no impact. I need to watch the whole thing in order to experience it again.

I have no idea if anyone else has reached this level of obsession over just a couple seconds of experience, but if you also do this, let me know in the comments, just so I know I'm not insane.

Anyways here they are:


When Jonas witnesses death for the first time in the memories (The Giver) Just the raw emotion and the innocent horror on his face... I mean I like it for dark reasons but it's a good scene

'I've got my spaceship, I've got my boys, my work here is done' (The Vampires of Venice) Because of the beautiful attitude 👌

Po's full memories coming back to him in the burned village (Kung Fu Panda II) So so so cool

Holly fixing up the toy shop and making it awesome (Holly Claus) The absolute magic of this scene, and then the gorgeous illustration... *Chef's kiss*

The Forbidden Friendship montage (How To Train Your Dragon) It's iconic, need I say more?

Johnny reunited with his dad (Sing) My heart ❤️ 

The Midnight Mayor Walk BECAUSE COME ON MAN THAT WAS COOL (The Midnight Mayor)

Delivering the word to the silent city (The Phantom Tollbooth) The whole thing is so epic and unconventional and I love it

The rats in New York(Gregor the Overlander and the Prophecy of Bane) Creepy and it builds up just right... Dude I love it even if it is a lil scary

The very last line of Heartless because DUDE I WAS READY BRING IT ON


And there's my list. There's probably a ton more that I'm forgetting, because all examples immediately fled my brain when I decided to write this post, but that's what I could remember for today. See you soon with another post!

    Ah the Phantom Tollbooth one! I love that book so much.

    I definitely do this same thing! Although usually I don't have to read/watch the whole thing to get that moment...usually I just read the chapter, or find the moment on YouTube. :)

      I always want to do that because it would save me so much time but I like seeing it in context 😂 It's a bane even to me

    I do this too!! Or something very similar. Sometimes I read/watch the whole thing because I want to experience the whole thing all over again, or because I want that certain special moment. <3 And sometimes I just skip right to that part. XD

    Oh! I adore that montage in How To Train Your Dragon!! And that part in Kung Fu Panda 2! I especially love the moment where he achieves Inner Peace and the whole thing about scars healing/fading (which he blunders over in perfectly adorable Po-ness) <333

12 Underused Creatures and Animals in Fantasy

Image
Photo by  Антон Воробьев on Unsplash Look look! Another series! It'll probably be pretty short since I can only think of fantasy, sci-fi, and realistic fiction to involve in a series about underused creatures, but if you have another genre I could do, please comment and tell me because I would LOVE to expand this series! It is one of my favorite things in the world to think outside the box and do things that other people haven't done yet. And using creatures that no one else has used yet has been a big deal for me ever since I started writing. Heck, people didn't use the internet a ton just yet, so I would go fishing through the dictionary and encyclopedia to find a creature no one had used yet so I could use it. Or other times I would just make up something weird and give it a name.  Here's a list of the fantasy creatures/animals you've probably heard of, written about, and/or read about. Elves (one of the most common tropes, but how I love them) Fai...

10 Underused Historical Settings in Fiction

Image
I've already done  10 Underused Concepts in Sci-Fi  and  12 Underused Creatures in Fantasy (click the titles to go to the posts), now it's time for historical fiction to get the spotlight. I don't write a lot of historical fiction myself, but I know there are a lot of historical fiction writers out there! These settings can also be used in a historical sci-fi novel, in a steampunk novel, or even for a fantasy setting. So this is applicable to almost everyone! So on that note: Idea list: activate! The Great Depression. I know that writers like to stray away from talking about people who are broke, on hard financial times, or homeless. It makes people uncomfortable. Well, you know what I say? Good . If you want to make a change, you're gonna make some people uncomfortable. You could write an excellent sci-fi novel based on the next depression that hits the future, or a fantasy world that is hitting hard times. Mesoamerica. Me! Me! I've done this! Whet...

Villain Motivation Ideas Taken From History

Image
Not all villains are works of the imagination. And not all villains are as completely inhuman as we might prefer to think. Some people that we consider to be very, very bad had what could almost be seen as good reasoning behind their actions. Their deeds may have been bad, but maybe the thoughts from their heads can be used to tell some incredible stories. So here's four villain motivations taken straight from history. Changing the wording. (Hitler) Let's just get this guy out of the way first, shall we? Hitler and his Nazis are known across history to be some of the evilest people ever to exist. If someone's trying to think of a really evil person to use as an example, the name they settle on is normally Hitler's. And don't get me wrong. Hitler was a very, very bad man. But the thousands of people who followed him did not start off thinking the same way he did. They were carefully primed before they were commanded to help him in his dirty work. Hitl...
