Other Interests
Media I recommend:
Books:
The ENTIRE Legend of The Guardians/ Guardians of Ga'Hoole series by Kathryn Lasky.
These books were really my most beloved series as a kid, I read all 16 books when I was like 10 and they have done irreparable damage to my psyche in the best way possible. They were basically my Warrior Cats. I did read Warrior Cats too, and was pretty obsessed with it as a child, but it didn't stick like the owls did. These books are the sole reason that I am now absolutely obsessed with owls. It also helped that a beautifully animated movie about the first 3 books exists.
I am currently in the process of rereading all the books, and they're still as good as when I first read them.
Funfact: Humans once existed in the GoG universe. Although it is implied that they were completely wiped out. :3
The House Of Leaves
Another one of my favourite books alone because of the formatting. I was looking for this book for a while
and then just randomly found a coloured copy at my local bookstore like holy shit.
Reading the book is also just such a unique experience, do u know what jumpscare it was when I turned the
page n there nothing but the line "Muss das sein?" which roughly translates to "Does it have to be?"
Had to double check if I actually had the english version at this point, cus I did not expect the random german.
(Which is my mother tongue actually)
So yea, go read the book, it's pretty confusing, but so peak.
Shows and Movies:
The Legend of the Guardians Movie
Criminally underrated, one of my favourite animated movies of all time.
Genuinely such beautiful animation, a perfect blend of realistic, but not too much so that the characters look uncanny.
Now, the movie covers I believe the first 3 books of the series, although they have changed alot of the story.
It follows the kidnapping of Soren to St.Aegolius, but unlike in the books, where they're a separate organisation, in the
movie St.Aegolius is under the rule of the Pure Ones, an organisation of purely Tytos/Barn Owls, who believe
in Tyto Supremacy.
I don't fully like the erasure of St.Aegolius, but I can understand why they did it, as the Pure Ones are
simply the more "interesting and evil" villains.
