FINAL SIN - STORY CHANGE

I presented an updated version of my story, now entitled Final Sin, to a group, and it's evident now that I need a complete reworking.

 The constructive criticism I received was that there was a lack of focus on the main character; the idea should be more concise and focus even more towards the ending. All in all, Gluttony doesn't get as much focus as he probably should. 

 Instead of trying to constantly fit a square peg in a round hole to fix my story, I'm probably going to rework my story entirely. It's not ideal, but it's probably for the best.

DREAMS - 1ST OF JANUARY

Quick blog post for the dream diary holiday project. This is what I can remember from my dream of New Year's Day. It's my friend Aiden's birthday We're organising to meet at Wetherspoons for dinner (Typical for me) It's in London for some reason I remember there being some kind of strange sports game going on? (I've never cared for sports so I don't know what's going on there) When we're actually in London, all the tubes are Louis Vuitton themed? (I've never cared for Louis Vuitton either) Me and my friend Chloe are on the tube, and the doors open. I get off, suddenly realising SOMETHING (I don't know what) I shout back "Be right back!", leaving my bag on the tube My friends don't respond, the tube leaves with all my stuff on it. I apparently don't care. The tube stop I got off on was the Wetherspoons? But it looks like the inside of a building from Skyrim I think Sonic the Hedgehog was involved somewhere around...

FILM LANGUAGE - A FILM I THINK IS UNDERRATED

Image
This post is going to be looking at a film I think is underrated. For this, I chose Solo: A Star Wars Story , released in 2018 and directed by Ron Howard (who picked up the film after previous directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller left the project). ( The first trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story) The film was the second of Disney's Star Wars anthologies to be released, after Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , and followed up by The Mandalorian series on Disney+. It reveals the new canon origins of Han Solo, after Disney rebooted the Star Wars canon leaving his old origin story as the stuff of Legend in canon.  The film follows Solo, played by Alden Ehrenreich, pulling off the amazing feats of daring do he talked about in the original Star Wars trilogy; performing the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, initial rebellion against the Empire, and winning the Millenium Falcon in a game of sabaac against Lando Calrissian (played by Donald Glover).  Unfortunately, Solo did not perf...

FINAL SIN - STORY INSPIRATIONS

Image
In this post, I'm going to talk about the two main inspirations for my new storyline. First is Psychomachia , a poem from the 5th century written by the ancient poet Prudentius. It tells of battles held between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues, each 1-1 battle involving two figures that are counterparts to each other; for example, Chastity fights Lust. (A carving of Psychomachia in Catalonia, Spain) I knew with Antibody out of the picture with the new script, I needed something new to push Gluttony towards acting upon his desires. When going back into researching the concept of the Sins, I found out they have direct counterparts known as the Seven Heavenly Virtues. In Christian belief, the names and particular virtues are much more flexible and variable depending on where you look, but I stuck with the ones that fit my pre-existing Sins. And as I delved deeper, I found out about this poem (albeit a rather long poem), that chronicles how the Virtues co...
