From Literation to Animation
a month ago
If anxiety was looking for an avatar, I wish to Asmodeus that it would stop trying to anoint me as a representative. I apply to 7 to 10 possible jobs a week. Recently i have been stretching my options to include remote and hybrid positions. Like Goku would say, Please grant me your energy. My family has offered to help, and I appreciate that, but I think the worst phrase I have been getting is "Dont worry. Think of it like a vacation."
Fuck that!
A vacation is fun! This is days upon days of stress. And then my doctor keeps asking "Why is your blood pressure so high?
Geez woman, let me paint you a damn picture. I explained it to you several times and it didnt sink in???? Apologies to any followers that are doctors, but whoever wears that white coat better get checked for hearing issues.
Ok ok, enough of this let me do something fun for myself.
These things need to be animated:
- The Magic Treehouse- This would be a fun anthology. In the books, the MCs were given quests at first by LeFae, and then by Merlin. A TV series could blend the stories. Making the missions from either or. Depending on the story. It could be a duel from the 2 masters of magic to see who is a better teacher/influence to the kids.
- Discworld- Yeah I know they have already have had a few movies and mini series, but that just wet the apatite. I would absolutely love to see more. Maybe make a series around a few of the more colorful members of the Watch.
- Warriors- No, not the movie from 79. I'm talking about the cats in the wild as their clans but heads.
- Wings of Fire- Its dragons litterally born into a magical world of intrigue and adventure. Whats not to love???
- Tamera Pierce: Song of the Lioness- My wife gushed about this series so much that we started reading it together. Its a cool female protagonist with a world of spies, knights, magic and cross-dressing.
- CaFAE Latte- Magical critters running a coffee shop. Add to that, cursing Karens with silence, lgbtqia positive, and none of it feels ham fisted. I would love to see how they would animate the glamours and the gender fluid dragons.
- The Mistmantle Chronicles- If they don't make the Redwall movie, this would be my fallback. Heroes and villains are not very clear cut, and things get dark at times. Still involving cute forest animals.
- My teacher is an Alien Series- This series hit me pretty hard as a kid. I think it was one of the first times little me learned that villains can come back, as well as learning that antagonists are not always evil.
- Anne Bishop's World of Others- I love alternate universes. Especially ones that give the world different outlooks from the start. The Others are shape shifting creatures that own the world, and have to learn how to share it with humans. I adore the crows. They are proud scavengers who will happily do business with humans for something extra shiny.
- Animorphs- They tried to make a series out of this, and it was good. But I think now would be a great time to revisit the series in animated form.
Thats enough rambling, but lets hear from you.
What kind of books do you feel could use an animated touch?
Feel free to leave a comment below.
I am open for commissions (up to 3 character pin-ups).
Feel free to drop them in my DMs.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

As for books and animation, we're on the same page. I definitely want animated series for Wings of Fire, Warriors, Discworld, Redwall, Mistmantle, Animorphs.
