I don't know much about Jim Butcher as a person--I barely even know much about him as a writer (I've read some of his Dresden Files short stories, though)--but I hope someone somewhere is archiving his old Livejournal because the essays he has on writing are very useful references.
I can't even count the number of times I've read and re-read them and applied what they say to the stuff I've written. His essay on how to wade through the middle of a story so it you can reach the end and not get bogged down by the stress of being stuck in the middle is literally the main thing that's helped me get through the mid-section of Parallel Worlds Record as I write it out (not to mention the mid-sections of other stuff I've written or are working on, both fanfic and original fic). It would be terrible if no one at least saved the information he provided to share with other writers.

Sol's belt in Strive says "Sol's belt" on it. I will elaborate on this once I do a little more research and make sure I'm reading it right.
#textpost#It's that script font that I thought was gibberish this whole time#One of my buddies was like 'why haven't you decoded the scribbles on Sol's clothes yet'#And I was like 'because I'm lazy'#Except he put the thought in my head so now I have to do it >:/#I need to make a codex but it's hard to read these low resolution files. Almost got it though

Not gonna lie; I'm somewhat tempted to reboot my blog, and go for a fresh start. Technically that's what this blog was supposed to be, but I've gone through an insane amount of development for Raj's world (which now has a working title - The Medvig Codex).
Lots of things that I posted in the past 2 years don't apply anymore; they're from waaay back when Raj was a mechanical cyborg made out of wires and stuff. I ain't doing it just yet, just figure I'd give a heads up for when it does eventually happen.
#file | ooc#file | tbd#// I'm also partial to The Medvig Principle but ''codex'' implies waaaay more than just one concept; which is important to the plot

anon who asked about chasind headcanons, i am not ignoring you, that is actually step 3 of my current project:
gather all chasind lore in existence
organise it into something coherent
fill in the gaps
unfortunately i have been on step 1 for about 2 weeks and it is currently a 130 page document and will still take a while to finish
but i am getting there!!! and i have formed many headcanons in the process about all kinds of things
#personal#da#don’t get excited about 130 pages of chasind lore. that’s not actually what it is#i’ve included anything on the avvar and the early alamarri and clayne#and the largest category is obviously the avvar (esp from dai)#but it’s coming along#i’m currently going through game dialogue which i was Dreading but it’s not too bad#i’m not gonna do da2 because i would have to go through each file and map the individual lines. nope!#just gonna go through some of mota (cahir is chasind) and ctrl-f through the talktable for the rest of the game#and i’m considering skipping dai altogether because……like when tf would the chasind be mentioned. bioware forgot they exist in dai#they get one codex entry for the skyhold decorations and that’s it#even the fallow mire has avvar instead even tho it’s BASICALLY IN CHASIND TERRITORY#devastating that so many of the avvar files are labeled chasind. like they were gonna be there and then they got replaced#look i don’t dislike the avvar at all but they are very much the favourite child and i resent that#anyway. all i have left is some other in-game text (quests mostly; which aren’t gonna give me much)#(i’ve already done codex entries and notes and item descriptions)#and a few things that i’ve skipped because i was getting sick of them: two avvar-related ttrpg adventures (where eagles lair & buried pasts)#and one novel (the calling. also something that has avvar stuff rather than chasind stuff)#where eagles lair is the most important one of those to actually go through because it goes in-depth on avvar culture#and since there’s very little actual chasind lore i’m basing some ideas on avvar stuff because they evolved from the same culture

god of clocks is still an experience (ambiguous and feeling as if I have run a marathon in strange territory) but deepgate really does feel like... you have been changed and it is horrible and irrevocable and you cannot ever go back. but there are ways to move forward despite this
#the fact my version of god of clocks is just one very long html file with weird formatting#probably does not help#deepgate codex#deepgate lb#what happens to dill is so funny tho#alan campbell said here is your protagonist#and then killed him and revived him and possessed him and yeeted him into hell#then he's a mecha and then a ghost#no wonder I thought there were homestuck vibes

Dragon Age: The Veilguard
▶ Extracted Asset Drive Folder
Recently finished my first DAV playthrough and wanted to get my hands into the files 🤚 so just like I did with CP77, I put up little google drive folder with extracted assets! Made possible thanks to the Frostbite Modding Tool ◀
OBVIOUS Spoiler warning - I don't recommend looking at the files until you're done with the game's main story!
I wasn't able to grab everything just yet as the majority of assets aren't fully accessible yet (corrupted/missing data). Expect some extracted assets to have some artifacts as well!
But you can already find:
HUD elements
Codex entries's full art
CC, Map, Journal Icons
...and more!
Every elements has been sorted in folders for an (hopefully) easy browsing - I'll try to keep this drive updated :3
▶ THIS IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY!
You can use the assets for your videos, thumbnails, character templates, art, mods... but do NOT use these assets for any commercial purposes! Every assets and files are the property of Bioware and their artists
This is from a fan for fans, let's keep it fair and fun! 🙏
If you appreciate my work consider supporting me on Ko-Fi 💜

Sinvicta realizing he can't remove his employee from the abnormality that is essentially just an iron maiden: uh.
Me, fully aware that you can not remove an employee from it from the getgo: heheheHEHEHEHHE
#asher.txt#thank god resetting the day is an option#it honestly is such a shitty abnormality because there is No Recovery Full Stop#so if you want it's info for 100 percent codex you basically have to make fodder for it#and like. it's time based#so either you throw a few very strong employees to it#or a fuckton of weak ones#and with all the other shit going on that just. sucks lmao#its def one of the abnormalities where id probably reset the file after getting the info#also i dont feel bad about laughing at sinvicta playing#because he is significantly better at the game than i am#so i gotta take joy where i can

-looks at Jim Butcher-
Another storytelling rule I think people should remember is the law of diminishing returns. If you keep on ramping up the stakes higher and higher and higher, after a point it gets to where the audience can’t really care anymore.
