When you finally start writing again and you write something so vile it will make people rage-quit on page one and give you a one-star review.

I did good today ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Oh but believe me, it gets worse. In S1 at least her incompetence could be explained as "she didn't know". Here, it's "She knows and she still trusts the rings, and keeps acting stupid."

Yup. Absolutely right

Also, them having worked during the strike doesn't shock me having worked for Amazon. They don't believe in strikes ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’

Summary:
- Everything bad that will ever happen is Galadriel's fault
- The elves are morons
- Everyone knows Sauron made the Rings and yet everyone uses them
- Numenor is full of stupid people who deserve to disappear, not the greatest civilization of Men.
- Yes, that's Gandalf even if he can't be

Oh yeah. Even down to the most basic contradiction of one of the main plot phrases (which they even say here) of LOTR: "But they were, all of them, deceived."
By this season pretty much everybody knows Sauron made the Rings. And yet they still use them! Also, Galadriel is the undisputed villain!

Finally watched The Rings of Power S2. Not a Tolkien purist, but this was hot garbageโ€”gorgeous yet soulless, like Sauron made it. Only the Sauron/Celebrimbor plot worked (great acting). It just plunders LOTR for nostalgia bait. I don't care about any of these characters. SO BAD! #TheRingsOfPower

The length of the novels in my trilogy (500-700p) is by design. It's not a "come in, quick thrill, get out" story. I want you to feel each book is a season of a series, and you go on a journey in each character arc.
The 3rd book is the final season where all threads come together for an epic finale

Thanks a lot for doing this. I had just started a small channel and due to different circumstances was forced to start it from scratch today, so any help would be very appreciated.

How long does it take in your process from conceiving the theme of a video to research, writing, staging, props, recording, editing? What has been your most challenging video to date?

Well, as a fellow indie, I will recommend some indies!

"Yes, Chef!" By Nykky Roadarmel was an enjoyable read of short horror stories.

If you like eldritch horror, check out @carlosriveraauthor.bsky.social's White Harbor Trilogy.

If you don't like horror, then I can recommend other stuff!
