Have my world built and characters ready to see that world I hope my story can give people the same sense of excitement and joy I felt the first time I read about the 7 voyages of Sinnbad the sailor
i think the one that is missing it is Imagery Simile Metaphor Personification Alliteration Consonance Irony Oxymoron Juxtaposition Paradox Cliche Adage Colloquialism Foreshadowing Hyperbole Euphemism Pun Connotation Idiom Symbolism
I never saw TLK so its lost on me. The foreign language names and allegory left me confused. What sort of sympathetic protagonist is willing to kill for power? Or was that a different character? Doesnt anyone learn the classics anymore? Treasure Island, Huck Finn or Red Badge of Courage in Middle School? Or am I being too elitist here as one educated mostly privately? At any rate I will go through it again and see if I can apply it to a story I am more familiar with.
Super Duper Refresher!! Thank you!!! Please remember Onomatopoeia----formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named--- e.g. sizzle, drop crash! (Think retro Batman verbs while characters are dueling)--very effective in a comic strip or poetry-any time really, to draw in the senses and texture #Writing #Rocks!! <3
Just starting my writing journey and this was a really helpful video for me. I agree with other commenters that using the Lion King as plot point examples was great to understand how they function in the story. Also great was that the video wasn't 30 minutes long, but a quick and informative intro into this plot structure. Thank you!
Puppy In My Pocket Adventures In Pocketville was bad, with bare bones story that makes no sense, clunky akward animation, akward boring dialogue and fat shaming. Pocketville is a reboot, remake and revival of Puppy In My Pocketville and thus it has more meat-on-the-bones story, more fluid animation, dialogue and better character design and no fat shaming. The child characters are now teenagers or young adults, thus the girls have very thin waist and pronounced breasts, while the boys have wide shoulders, athletic muscular physiques and square chins or delicate facial features and slender physique. Also, chubby boy and chubby girls are still attractive. Plus, Mondo TV made the spin off series about Creators titled The Children Of Magical Imagination, which is a teen romantic urban phantasy about Flo, as she discovers she can create cute imaginary animals and bring them to life as full on flesh and blood 3D creatures with magic, plus she is still in love with Kevin. Both of them get the news that Princess Camelia lost Pendant of Heart, thus they recruit Athena the owl, Nathan the dog, Eva the snake, Marcus the cat, Kai the dog and Nika the horse to choose the right pet for each teenager. During every mission to choose the pet for each child, Nora the black cat, Azalea the bat, Dellusia the dog and Lorelei the cat-fox-rabbit-dog-squirrel- thing try to steal the right pet they have chosen for a teenager in question, but later, during the series, they redeem themselves and join Flo's team. The Children Of Magical Imagination find Pendant Of Heart and return it to Princess Camelia, whom they recruit to defeat Nixia, who has kidnapped Flo's father and was manipulating Nora to make dark and evil imaginary animals. As the series progresses, Flo is afraid of kangaroos because of her past trauma (being attacked and kicked by a kangaroo) and Nora exploits her weakness by drawing carnivorous kangaroos and bringing her drawing to life as full on flesh and blood 3D creatures with magic, but later, Nora stops drawing carnivorous kangaroos and Flo defeats her fear of kangaroos, which helps them defeat Nixia Imaginary animals that are in the series (Mondo TV's original species): bumblecat (self explanatory, created by Flo) rainbloom (nudibranch musky rat kangaroo hybrid, created by Flo) nudibrechapin (created by Flo) booplesnoot (fox cat rabbit hybrid, created by Flo) merbooplesnoot (created by Flo) merlemur (fully marine lemur that looks like a mermaid, created by Flo) coraloo (created by Flo) sorakemushi (created by Flo) tianmaomaochong (created by Flo) iridibloom (nudibranch tree kangaroo hybrid, created by Flo) shockaroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) atroroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) viciroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) goreroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) blottoroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) deviroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) wileroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) volataroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) rapiciroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) amokaroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) iridimerlemur (created by Flo) pappilorechapin (created by Flo) luciorechapin (created by Flo) abellirechapin (created by Flo) coccinelerechapin (created by Flo) sphyngaroo (created by Flo and Nora) sharoo (created by Flo and Nora) Imaginary animals that are in the series (previously existing imaginary species): peryton (created by Nora) bunyip (one of the forms it takes is carnivorous kangaroo bird hybrid that casts human like shadow; created by Nora) Monkey King (created by Flo) kitsune (created by Flo) kumiho (created by Nora) huli jing (created by Flo and Nora) yamaarashi (created by Nora) nekomata (created by Flo) Moon Rabbit (created by Flo) Pigsy (created by Flo) Loch Ness monster (created by Flo) chupacabra (created by Nora) Jersey devil (created by Nora) griffin (created by Flo) phoenix (created by Flo) Sandy Demon (onager donkey version, created by Flo) bo (created by Flo and Nora) sphynx (created by Flo) kamaitachi (created by Nora) underwater panther (created by Flo) mokele mbembe (created by Flo) chimaera (created by Nora) raiju (created by Flo) Princess Iron Fan (lemur rechapin hybrid version, created by Flo) dingonek (created by Flo and Nora) fenghuang (created by Flo) tizheruk (created by Nora) akhlut (created by Nora) unicorn (created by Flo) dragons (created by Flo and Nora) qilin (created by Flo) shisa, Fu dog and komainu (created by Flo) New animal characters and their species: Mellissa - honey bee Tony - Maine Coon cat Athena - owl Eva - snake Nika - English greyhound Charlie - American shorthair cat and raccoon Sammy - Siamese cat and Scottish terrier Nathan - Siberian husky Marcus - English mastiff Kai - Brazilian shorthair cat Nora - stray mutt dog other kids - different cats and dogs, ferret, hamster, turtle, gecko, thrush, blackbird, jackdaw, baby chick, rabbit, pony, pig, robin, goldfish, bottlenose dolphin, orca, numbat, baby duckling, musky rat kangaroo, kangawallafox (referred in-universe as foxallaroo), armadillo, chinchilla, dormouse, goat, Indian golden oriole, corn snake, pike, barracuda, great white shark, hammerhead shark, swordfish, Eastern grey kangaroo, woodpecker, millipede, hermit crab, pangolin, squirrel, mandarinfish, frog, muntjac deer, hedgehog, big lutrine opossum, Virginia opossum, Derby's wooly opossum, Patagonian opossum, water opossum, gray four eyed opossum, anteater, quetzal, parrot, caterpillar, duiker, lemur, otter, anthias, giraffe, turtle dove, cuckoo, jewel beetle, scaly tailed possum, stick bug, dartfish, sugar glider, beaver, Indian roller, bustard, dormouse, walking leaf bug, marsupial lion, marsupial wolf, Tasmanian devil, cardinalfish, longhorn beetle, quokka, dottyback, chinchilla, genet, klipspringer, light vented bulbul, quoll, tree kangaroo, civet, palm civet, African palm civet, mongoose, angelfish, surgeonfish, mandarin fish, butterflyfish, garden eel, parrotfish, stingray, Moorish idol, nudibranch, clownfish, pipefish, sea horse, chromis, damselfish, snakehead etc. There are also flowers and rocks as pets during the series run, we see that all of Flo's imaginary animals are cute, cuddly, beautiful or cool and nudibranchs are a a common design element, along with mermaids and dolphins. Plus a lot of Flo's animals are made cute and cuddly and often a mixture of various cute or beautiful animals, whereas Nora's imaginary animals are scary and dangerous, with kangaroos being a common design element. In addition to that, Nora's animals are often made scary and dangerous and are often a mixture of various scary and dangerous animals, but later changes the design for something more cute and cuddy and that art choice was influenced by Flo. We also see how the Creators (the artists that draw imaginary animals and bring them to life as full on flesh and blood 3D creatures) throughout history and in different regions of the world have been creating their imaginary animals and bringing them to life as full on flesh and blood 3D creatures, from prehistory to modern times, and how they shaped mythologies through history and in different parts of the world (from Neolithic era, across Mesopotamia, Ancient Persia, Ancient India, Imperial China, Feudal Japan, Ancient Mongolian Empire, Ancient Egypt, Dahomey Kingdom, Swahili Kingdom, Mesoamerican Empires, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Middle Ages, Renaissance and 17th - 19th century to modern times) the main series that influenced it are Western pseudo-anime like Miraculous Tales Of Ladybug And Cat Noir and The Littlest Pet Shop, being a sort of crossover between the two, but it also has influences of true Japanese anime like Dragon Ball, Ranma 1/2, Saint Seiya, Shaman King, Black Cat, Fairy Tail and Neon Genesis Evangelion, and its main themes are creativity, imagination and battle of good vs evil/light vs darkness true Japanese anime that influenced my original series My Bee And Me Searching For Love: One Piece Seven Deadly Sins Fullmetal Alchemist Saint Seiya Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Bleach Naruto Shippuden Ranma 1/2 My Hero Academia Dragon Ball Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba Attack On Titan Yu Yu Hakusho Black Clover Neon Genesis Evangelion Black Cat Fairy Tail Shaman King
There is also a series titled Meteor Beasts which has characters that have various prehistoric animals that went extinct long ago. Our main characters, Larry, Tom, Amelie and Roxxie find the right prehistoric animals for them, an eohippus, a plesiosaur, a dunkleosteus and eurypterus, who become their companion who help them find more recruitees in order to defeat Meteoriorus, the mad scientist that wants to make prehistoric hybrid animals to destroy the world. They also give their reqruitees the right prehistoric animals for the job, fullfiling the prophecy prehistoric animals that would appear in the series: invertebrates, fishes and amphibians: trilobite anomalocaris aegirocassis wivaxia hallucigenia hurdia ammonite orthocones tully monster megarachne opabinia arthropleura haplophrentis jacutolitus dunkleosteus leedsychtis xiphactinus pachycormus pteraspis thelodontis anaspis pituariaspis cephalaspis acanthopleurus nochelaspis nerepisacanthus chalcidicthys eusthenoptenor gillicus diplocaulus platyoposaurus reptiles: tyranosaurus brachiosaurus triceratops stegosaurus ankylosaurus titanosaurus therizinosaurus argentinosaurus calamosaurus elasmosaurus metryorinchus dakosaurus pistosaurus pachycephalosaurus liopleurodon kronosaurus paracephalosaurus tylosaurus shonisaurus mosasaurus mauriciosaurus centrosaurus oviraptor pegomastax shastasaurus moanasaurus spinosaurus taniwhasaurus dolicorhynchops ancient beasts: wooly mamooth smilodon paraceratherium mesodma chalicotherium moropus dinofelis thylacosmilus nimravus barbourofelis simbakubwa ekorus megalictis American cheetah dire wolf sarkastodon pakicetus basillosaurus Malagasy aardvark cladisictis didymictis eremotherium malleodectes didelphodon hulitherium zygophyseter lyviathan sivatherium discokeryx decanotherium moeritherium daedon macrauchenia toxodon hyenodon indohyus oxyena patrofelis
realistic but totally made up species that appear in the series: booplesnoot (Vulpifelepiidae, 22 species, found in Eurasia and Africa.
