I have news about my writing that I'm excited to share with you. Ever since 2015, I've had a story idea called The Past, Present and Future. However, I didn't actually write the story until 2019 and didn't release it until 2021. The Past, Present and Future was written to be longer than anything that I had previously written. It was written to be a book. Thanks to Amazon, I got to turn my dream idea into a book that could be read and purchased by others. I was able to do the same for spin-offs and sequels.

However, for the longest time, I have been wanting to share my stories for free. That way, more people would be able to give my stories a chance. I have decided to put my stories on a website called Fiction Press. It uses a similar format to Fanfiction.net, but unlike that website, it isn't for stories about licensed characters. Instead, it's for stories that have characters that are created by the writers.

On Fiction Press, my name is Warlock Lelouch. For those that don't know, Lelouch is the protagonist of the anime series Code Geass. He isn't actually a warlock. However, since his female accomplice, C2, is often called a witch, he comforted her by referring to himself as her warlock.

My stories are quite long, so I'm not interested in pressuring anybody into reading them. However, if any of you feel up to reading my stories or just want to check them out, I wanted to provide you with a way to access them.

This is my Fiction Press profile:

So far, I have the first chapter of my first two stories on there. You can use that link to look for updates as I add more chapters and stories in the future.

Frozen is a 2013 animated film. First off, happy 10th anniversary to Frozen. Second off, I'd like to share some information about my history with Frozen.

Expectations before seeing the film:

In hindsight, this is hard to imagine, but when Frozen was coming out, I wasn't very excited. I had gone through a time where Disney's animated films weren't appealing to me, so I was afraid that Frozen wouldn't be a film that I would like. I thought there was a small chance that the film might be kind of interesting, because of Elsa and her ice powers. However, my expectations for the film were quite low....

Over the years, there have been so many great Batman toys. They have made a countless number of Batman toys. Batman's sidekicks and enemies have also gotten a large number of toys. They've even started making toys of some of the lesser-known villains. I'm impressed by the wonderful variety of figures. However, there are still some characters that I like that have yet to get a toy.

Professor Bubbles

Professor Bubbles was the main antagonist of an episode from 1977's The New Adventures of Batman. He's a personal favorite of mine for his over-the-top personality, voice and design.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power was a 2018 reboot of 1985's She-Ra: Princess of Power. The reboot was incredibly popular. It has led to the She-Ra franchise gaining lots of new fans.

Adora (She-Ra) was known for being the sister of Adam (He-Man) in the original series. However, He-Man isn't seen or even mentioned in this series. The show never reveals who Adora's birth parents were, so it's unknown if she even had a sibling.

In the original series, Hordak was Skeletor's original boss. However, Skeletor didn't appear in the reboot, so it remains unknown if the reboot's version of Hordak ever...

Avatar: The Way of Water is a 2022 film that is a sequel to 2009's Avatar. Avatar made history by becoming the highest-grossing film of all time. The film featured visual effects that were unlike anything that had ever been done before. The film left a huge impact on people. Most people agreed that the visuals were amazing, but people debated about whether or not the story and characters lived up to the visuals. After several years of waiting, the sequel finally came out.

The Little Mermaid is a 2023 live-action film that's a remake of 1989's Little Mermaid animated film. Live-action Disney remakes have gotten a lot of mixed reception. They tend to make lots of money, but they also tend to get mixed reviews. When it comes to the remakes, I've enjoyed a fair number of them. I didn't care for some of them, such as Aladdin, Lady and The Tramp and Mulan. However, there have been some remakes that I enjoyed, such as Cinderella, Dumbo and both Maleficent films. Also, the live-action Disney Alice in Wonderland films are two of my favorite films.

Masters of the Universe is a great franchise that includes the adventures of He-Man and She-Ra. The He-Man and She-Ra shows are packed with characters that have cool gimmicks, memorable designs and lots of other unique attributes. This has led to He-Man and She-Ra having some of the best toys of all time and some of the most entertaining cartoons of all time. This article is made to highlight my favorite characters from both He-Man and She-Ra. Characters that appeared in 2018's She-Ra reboot will be included, because that show introduced new characters to the franchise in addition to giving...

Comparing the first television Batman to the original host of Blue's Clues might sound like a strange comparison, but I believe that Adam West and Steven Burns actually have a lot in common.

In 1966, Adam West made Batman a heroic role-model and symbol of hope for television viewers. Adam West struck the perfect balance between genuine heart and campy absurdity. In addition to being the funniest Batman, he was also the most likable and sweet. After starring as Batman in three seasons of television and one theatrical movie, Adam West struggled to get work. However, he meant so much to the people...

In my previous article, I mentioned how I got the film Superman: Brainiac Attacks on the same day that I saw Superman Returns with my grandfather. Since that film is connected to that important day, I felt like reviewing the film.

Superman: Brainiac Attacks was released in 2006, the same year as Superman Returns. It is considered to be the first feature-length Superman animated film. Some episodes of Superman: The Animated Series were combined into movies, but Brainiac Attacks is the first true Superman animated film.

The plot of the film revolves around a team-up between Lex Luthor and Brainiac....

I have seen several movies at the theater. I've had lots of good experiences at the movies, but my all-time favorite theater experience came from the time that I saw Superman Returns with my grandfather.

I saw Superman Returns on June 30th, 2006, at the 11:50 AM screening. It might sound weird that I have the date and time memorized, but for whatever reason, I felt like memorizing it. I'm glad that I did remember it, because seeing the film with my grandfather is one of the fondest memories of my childhood.

The week when I saw Superman Returns wasn't one of my easier weeks. For reasons that I'm...

There are a lot of things that I collect. One of my favorite collections is my collection of Frozen dolls. Ever since I was little, I've had an interest in things that were considered to be for girls rather than boys. However, as the world has gotten more progressive, I've made an effort to not be ashamed of my passion. Because of that, I'm now able to collect dolls without feeling ashamed and embarrassed.

When I got my first Frozen doll, I wasn't expecting to build a big collection. For a while, I just had four dolls from Frozen. However, after Frozen 2 came out, I realized how badly I wanted...

Frozen and Frozen 2 are two of my favorite films of all time. They are some of the most enjoyable films to rewatch, because of their intriguing plots, lovely songs and gorgeous animation. Another key aspect to the success of the Frozen films is the cast of characters. I will be going over my favorite characters from Frozen and Frozen 2. A lot of these characters didn't have huge roles, but they left a memorable impact on me.

The Earth Giants served as intimidating yet not despicable antagonists for the heroes to deal with in Frozen 2.

My Little Pony is a franchise that's filled with various kinds of charming characters. There are various types of good characters, including strong leads, scene-stealing supporting characters, cool villains and more. My article is for characters from the series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, as well as My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and My Little Pony: The Movie. Since there are so many characters, this article will be a ranked list rather than a descriptive ranking. If you have questions about specific spots on my ranking, feel free to leave a comment.

Game of Thrones is a series that is full of characters. There are so many characters that ranking them all is a challenge that I'm not willing to engage in. Instead, I'll just be ranking my top 25 favorite characters from the series. Since the show has dozens of major characters, there are plenty of important characters that won't make my list. It's important to note that this ranking consists of my own personal opinions. I'll have plenty of opinions that will likely be unpopular, but regardless, I hope that you enjoy the ranking. There will be some spoilers in my ranking.

Blue's Clues is a delightful franchise that has a lot of heart. A lot of the franchise's appeal comes from the characters in the franchise. For this ranking, I will be including characters from the original series, as well as Blue's Room and Blue's Clues & You!. Blue's Clues is a franchise filled with kind, lovable characters. There are some characters that didn't leave much of an impression of me, but there are no characters in the franchise that I hate.

Green Puppy is a recurring character from the original series. What hurts her appeal is the fact that she can unintentionally...

Batman has the best villains of any comics hero, so I want to rank Batman's large gallery of villains. Batman has far too many villains for anybody to rank, so this ranking is only going to focus on Batman's major rogues.

Villains that have only made a few appearances will be left out of the ranking. This means that I'll have to leave out several great villains. Some of my favorite Batman villains that left a big impact with a small number of appearances include Egghead, King Tut, Bookworm, Professor Bubbles, Farmer Brown, Rag Doll and the Weeper.

Code Geass is one of the greatest shows of all time. One of the main reasons for that is because of the show's large cast of great characters. Code Geass has so many characters that ranking all of them would be a difficult task, but I've decided to go ahead and rank them all. This article has been one of the hardest that I've ever had to make. It took days of writing and thinking to make, but I believe it was worth it.

Some things to know about my ranking:

I'm ranking the characters based off of my personal feelings. I've been a fan of Code Geass since 2015. Since then, I've developed very strong...

The Flash film has the long-awaited return of Michael Keaton as Batman, so it seems like the right time to look over the cast of Michael Keaton's Batman films. Michael Keaton starred as Batman in 1989's Batman and 1992's Batman Returns. Both films were directed by Tim Burton.
