I don't want Elon Musk to kill himself because that would get him some sympathy from liberals and "oh so you don't care about mentally ill people?" would become a common line. Ideally I'd like him to be assassinated Luigi-style, but again that runs the risk of him becoming a martyr. No, the best way for him to die is in a stupid accident of his own creation, which I'm frankly shocked hasn't happened yet. Y'know like Tesla malfunction, falls over the non-OSHA-certified guard rails in his own factory, SpaceX explosion, crushed to death trying to fuck one of his ugly robots, ect.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

This is your monthly reminder that Life Is Strange: Double Exposure is an excellent game.

I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.

I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.

If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.

And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.

[casualinmanhattan]

my writing process is: 1) think about the story constantly, 2) avoid writing it, 3) finally write, 4) regret everything.

editing your own work is like fighting a hydra. fix one thing and three more issues appear.

Here are some miscellaneous/random stuff that was found in DE’s files + the marketing (alongside some other discoveries) that I don’t have much to comment on but are still interesting nonetheless (thanks Kett and nanoo):

Holiday horns for Safi?

Early vs final (nosebleed is gone)

Forgot where this was originally posted, but this is basically just some early prototype/alpha footage (and some mocap stuff). Would actually kill to see the full alpha version of the game because it most likely still had the cut hedge maze chase scene with Safi. 🫠

🥺

Probably one of the last remnants of Max discovering Safi’s body with the flashlight.

Deck Nine dev posted this on ArtStation. Lots of early prototype and cut power content here.

Outfit concept art for Max.

What the fanfic-writing process has become;

Finish reading a fanfic and feel awful about one's own writing then proceed to try and create works "as good as" that story. Or try to replicate that authors writing.

Scroll through social media for what fandoms are popular right now to see where you can join and get your writing seen.

Take in every piece of writing advice there is and then stress, trying to create an award-worthy fanfic story.

Crying because you can't describe your bedroom scene the way your fave fanfic writer did in their story; or because you can't describe your character's facial features like the way the advisors of writing on Tumblr said you should.

I must include this and exclude that to get my fanfic-writing respected and seen

I'm nervous about whether others will like or hate my work when I share

I don't wanna write, I have no inspo, but I must write cause I'm in this fandom that's hot right now and all my fellow writers in said fandom are posting

What fanfic-writing started as and should be;

You enjoy a piece of media, art, song, etc., you're hungry for more and so you write an extension of the universe to include stuff you wanted to see, that the original creator didn't include. No rules, no standards, and no restrictions.

Excited to just write and share a work. If others love it, it's a plus

If you want to write excellent fanfics, that's very fine as long as you're having fun and you're not stressed.

may i introduce... safi x amanda x max.....

we as a society need to start coming up with more double exposure crackships … where are some wild pairings that are built on nothing but aesthetics and a dream!

"Ao3 should allow multiple kudos" "I want to be able to leave more than one kudos"

AO3 👏 TAGS 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 SPOILERS 👏

i’m so tired of authors not tagging correctly because they don’t want to “spoil the fic”

correctly tagging your fic allows readers who DON’T want to read things like major character death, gore, mpreg or whatever may be their squick to filter your fic out from the main ship/fandom tag. not including the correct tags on your fic is harmful to readers and i’m tired of pretending it’s not.

“don’t like don’t read” great! i won’t! tag your fic correctly next time ffs
