Dueling Versions of Dragons

“Wide gaped, like the griesly mouth of hell Through which into his dark abisse all ravin fell” Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queen book 1 Canto 11 lines 107-108 https://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poems/faerie-queene-book-1-canto-11 Throughout history, dragons have been depicted as the antagonists of fairy tales. They can be used to represent greed, evil, seduction, and even satan himself. In theContinue reading “Dueling Versions of Dragons”

Project #2

https://plymouthstate-my.sharepoint.com/personal/mlr1047_plymouth_edu/Documents/Microsoft%20Teams%20Chat%20Files/Shakuntala.html For my second project of the semester, I knew I wanted to do something with the story of Shakuntala. I considered doing something like my last unessay but after meeting with professor helms I decided to take an alternative route. We had talked about me creating a possible text quest following the storyline ofContinue reading “Project #2”

Hyrule Historia 2.0: Gerudos and the Martial Race Myth

Inspired by James Mendez Hodes’s “Orcs, Britons, and the Martial Race Myth” While the Legend of Zelda series has been beloved since its early days, there’s a lack of critical analysis regarding it, perhaps because it’s only more recently that the perception of video games as an art form has become more mainstream. Now thatContinue reading “Hyrule Historia 2.0: Gerudos and the Martial Race Myth”

Project #2 The Red Cross Knight is a Murder Hobo.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19oGKSEH7OK7Aacea9DPT4hA7oZT3RSCWCrk9r2PHahQ/edit Errour’s Home is a dungeon I created for dungeons and dragons 5e. I went into this thinking, what if Spenser was a dnd player. He views his character as perfect, he fights and kills just about everything he runs into, and everyone is out to get him. All in all, Spencer is a murderContinue reading “Project #2 The Red Cross Knight is a Murder Hobo.”

Duality in The Dewbreaker

When coming up with an idea for this unessay, I wanted to find something that obviously wasn’t an essay. Obviously essays are SO MUCH FUN to write, but sometimes an essay isn’t the best way to convey the message you want to. Eventually I realized, why not make a video? I’ve been wanting to makeContinue reading “Duality in The Dewbreaker”

Ka’s Monologue – The Condensation Tracer

For my second project, I decided to write a monologue of Ka reflecting on her father after the revelation at the end of “The Book of the Dead” chapter. I found The Dew Breaker to be a very powerful book and I honestly was left in stunned silence at the end of it. It’s justContinue reading “Ka’s Monologue – The Condensation Tracer”

Faerie Queene but Make it Pokémon

http://pokemonqueene.000webhostapp.com/index.html For my second project, I decided to combine Pokémon and the Faerie Queene. The healing well in Canto 11 with its purifying waters instantly reminded me of the Pokémon Suicune, who has the ability to purify bodies of water. I couldn’t stop thinking about Pokémon after that (I’m honestly always thinking about Pokémon though)Continue reading “Faerie Queene but Make it Pokémon”

Errour and the Knight

Like last time, I decided to do an unessay. While reading the Faerie Queene, my mind latched onto the creatures of the story as they seemed far more interesting to me than the others of the story such as the knight. Not to be mistaken as complete disinterest in the story, merely just the lackContinue reading “Errour and the Knight”

Side Gig

(Actor of undetermined gender, age, race, etc. travels to center stage where they remain motionless for some time. Beat. The Actor suddenly dives into indignant rage all at once.) Actor: Why the fuck are you staring at me like that? (Scowls at audience). (A Voice is heard within the audience.) Voice: It’s a casting call,Continue reading “Side Gig”
