"Book Dumb" Heroes

 I am unsure as to whether I will have time to write a Saturday Note for next weekend. There is a small chance, but I will be busy on Friday and Saturday, so it’s entirely possible that it will fall through the cracks.


I am almost finished with the “Hidden Ones” DLC for Assassin’s Creed: Origins, and it’s worth noting that Assassin’s Creed: Mirage comes out next week!


This idea kind of floated in my head because I just rewatched Conan the Barbarian, and there’s also a new Percy Jackson book that just came out, which has some relevance to the topic of the Note.

On the Rhetorically Invincible Protagonist

 Tuesday was rough, despite being International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but I sailed through those waters without walking the plank! I take me victories where I be findin’ them. The rest of the week went much better than that, and next week will be fantastic, God willing. I also hope to draft some letters soon.

We shall see!

Note for Batman Day

 This week was alright, but I fully expect that next week will be much better! I am currently reading To Shape a Dragon’s Breath, and after that I think I’ll get to re-reading Pyramids? Still doing Discovery Tour, learning about mummies and shiz.


National Hispanic Heritage Month began yesterday, but today is BATMAN DAY so we’re going to talk about BATMAN today.

Immortals & Long-Lived Characters

 Well, we’re back on the “Can’t Sleep One Night a Week” Train, which is a bummer to say the least. I feel like I’m just a horrible mess.

But! I’m doing Discovery Tour on Assassin’s Creed: Origins, learning about ancient Egypt and shiz. And I’m trying to take up painting again! I’m reading all kinds of new books, too! And, if we’re lucky, I can start outline something and have a plan for National Novel Writing Month.


This was inspired by (I think?) a random comment I saw on BIONICLE. Maybe it was on TV Tropes? It seemed like the kind of thing that would be on TV Tropes.

The Dangers of Multiple Writers on One Story

 I have almost finished the main story of Assassin’s Creed: Origins, and after that we’ll get to expansions. I’m not sure what we’ll do after that. Will we try Stray Gods? Or back to another Assassin’s Creed? Or will I replay another game? Who knows.

I considered doing this about my thoughts having read Heir to the Empire, but there are so many times I can say, “It’s stupid that they didn’t plan the Sequel Trilogy,” and you’re probably tired of that.


Anyhow! I made a questionable choice in which comic book I read. The result is this Note.
