♥♥fantasy♥♥

i was just attacked for my opinion of harry potter

Fantasy, the age old genre of magic and the supernatural forces. This tells stories of epic adventures with extravagant creatures and characters. This is a favorite of many and will probably never get old since there are still many elements to be accurately and deeply explored. 

I am a fan of stories like Percy Jackson (ok i was obsessed with this shit like i wrote fan fiction about this story omg like the worst kind of thing that anyone can write) I have come to reform myself into a more cultured person that likes more than the whole elves and trolls and sword stuff. Fantasy is a beloved genre since it lets you escape your more boring life and escape into this grand saga. Gods and goddesses, undines and wood nymphs, centaurs and unicorns; all are things that I love.

I know that I just said how much of a fan that I was of this stuff, but in reality, I don't really lean towards fantasy things in today's media. Sure, the occasional good fantasy movie comes out. The Huntsman: Winter's War is the most recent one that I can think of. And yes, that movie came out last year. That's how long its been since I've watched a decent fantasy movie.

Games on the other hand; that's a different story. League of Legends (I don't even play that anymore but it was worth putting on the list) Overwatch (More sci-fi than fantasy, but there are still elements of fantasy mixed into there. Such as necromancy, sentient robots, ect.) and Smite (This is also a game that I don't play anymore, but still is downloaded onto my laptop. It has it's moments and mechanical fun, along with it's fantasy element of gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures arriving on a virtual battlefield to duke it out with their many arrays of abilities that allude to specific points and traits that appeared in their mythology.)

♥♥mrs.frisby and the rats of nimh♥♥

rats: the musical

as a disclaimer i really didnt want this book about rodents // i wanted the lion the witch and the wardrobe like its cool and i kind of sort of already know what thats about and i already like the story // this group of people pushed past me so they could snatch the book and my edges along with it //

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, the "fantasy" novel about a ~rat~ mother's struggle to save her sick son. Because of course we want to read about single mother rodent struggles!!

The book isn't really in the realm for fantasy, more general or science fiction. Genetically modified rats and their whole organization trying to experiment with them?? I would expect this book to be labeled along with the likes of Divergent. Okay, not even that since this was made in like The Stone Age, maybe more Charlotte's Web section or something.

The flashbacks make it confusing to keep up with where the story is, are we in the lab or what????
