Gun > Hocus Pocus

Funny story the first time I read Storm Front I somehow managed to entirely gloss over Morgan's physical description outside of "tall and have sword" - I have no fucking idea how I did it but it happened - and when I went back to reread my favorite parts I saw it like a solid two months after I'd finished the book and had a VERY different picture of him in mind. The part that shook me the most was the ponytail, I had always pictured him with short hair up until then

When the author describes a character’s appearance way too late and you have to quickly redesign the image you already have for them in your head:

Who needs the stupidly intricate plan I put together for The Warlock when I could just forget about the plan entirely and have Morgan monologue about how much it blows to be a Warden for two pages 

I've been seeing a lot of knight posts recently. pretty great

Ooh great idea. I'll see what I can do

I would arm wrestle Jim Butcher for Morgan’s full backstory. 

K im very fucking high rn but i just got a flash of what a dresden files movie could look like. Since its a noir detective scenario it could be in black and white with grit, lots of contrast, almost deformed sometimes. But the moment magic is used, no matter how subtle the spell or magical movement, whatever it is or what it interacts with turns into color. But the whole thing, every spell would be practical effects done on set rather than cgi. So you have this sudden burst of colors, of fresh air from the gritty black-and-white decor while still believing in the "weight" and presence of magic in the world as much as you can replicate from the novel. I think thatd be swell

Happy Birthday Harry Dresden!

If anyone has a blank copy of that alignment chart meme with feral and hates the Irish and all that on it thatd be amazing I need it for reasons and I am a fool and cannot find it

^ Things Morgan keeps insisting when all the not super weirdly tall people around him call him super weirdly tall 

every time…
