Teen Wolf, And Two Other Unexpected Muses
Sep. 20th, 2014 11:43 amFirst an explanation to those on Live Journal. I've been cross posting from Dreamwidth. The Dreamwidth site does this automatically when you have your LJ linked to it. A few weeks ago, I changed my password on LJ and forgot to update that on DW, so you guys missed the last few entries I wrote. I just got done copy/pasting those into my LJ directly so you could catch up if you so chose. I still have to go back and tag them, but at least the entries are there. Sorry about that!!
Okay, so I started watching Teen Wolf in hopes of getting some insight into Dylan O'Brien's action acting skills for The Maze Runner. No such luck, but I am in love with the show after only four episodes. And after episode 1, I already had a muse! Of course. My brain is always on overdrive.
So that leads me to topic number two. I have developed 3 muses in the last week. One has become a soul bond already. So. They are: Daniel "Day" Altan Wing from the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu, Isaac from The Fault in Our Stars (more on that later), and now I have Scott McCall from Teen Wolf. The soul bond that developed? Day Wing.
So with Isaac, I was a little surprised because the majority of muses and bonds have been from fantasy novels. I never thought I'd develop a muse from something so dramatic and realistic as The Fault in Our Stars. Moreover, if I was going to develop one, shouldn't it have been Augustus as much as I talked about him? No problem. I love Isaac as a character. Thought he was a great comic relief in the book, and Nat Woolf totally brought him to life in the movie and made me love him more. "Stop interrupting me, you interrupting asshole. You're supposed to be dead." << Isaac to Augustus during his eulogy reading at Augustus' pre-funeral. Anyway, yeah. So having an Isaac muse is kinda weird for me, but not.
Yesterday marked the release of The Maze Runner!! It is holding steady at number 1 at the box office, and I am excited!! Even though Fox has already bought the rights for The Scorch Trials, the better the movie does the more likely we are to get the entire series made. (I still have to read the book 3 and then the prequel novel, but I'm taking a break cause the end of The Scorch Trials totally irked me).
I should have written about the release, but I am waiting patiently for tomorrow so I can go see it!! I will probably be writing about the movie in every journal/blog site I have including Bubblews. <3 (I get paid 50.00 on that site every few weeks if I write religiously which I plan to start doing again this weeks.)
But yes, I am so excited to see how close to the book this movie was. My friend Jason thinks it will actually be better than the book. I think I disagree with him. I mean, the book was written in such a way that you got frustrated reading it, but that echoes in Thomas' frustration when no one would give him answers to his questions, or that they had no answers. So in a way, it was a brilliant way to handle it. I don't think Jason understand that from a literary stance. I could try and explain it, but I am no English professor, and I don't know how to really explain it to him.
Anyway, gonna go, and make fishcakes, and then probably lay down before I set to work watching Once Upon A Time and making my Glader merchandise for tomorrow. <3
Trivia: The Robas' middles names are as follows: Espa Lawrence Roba, Espa Jacob Roba, Christien Thomas Roba, Jonathan Scott Roba, and Andrew Lee Roba. (Andrew and Espa's names were actually swapped until I remembered about the actor Andrew Lawrence. LOL)
