Does anyone have piano sheet music C418's Blind Spots? I've looked, but the only one I found was on musescore and while it's really good I can't print it out without paying the pro version

It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.

“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.” @louisethebaker on Twitter

An asexual and pansexual become room-mates and have wacky adventures

The show is called ‘All or Nothing’

[luminescentlama]

It's been talked about to death and back but. JSchlatt joining the DSMP, only ever logging on for lore purposes, playing a fan fucking tastic villain that was an absolute joy to watch on screen, equal parts menacing/intimidating and goofy, completely stealing the show and perfectly matching the silly-but-serious energy of the lore up to that point, doing that for 1 season that I still think is one of the most impossibly coherent and thematically powerful pieces of roleplay media to date, and then having his character die after he'd run his course and never logging on again. was completely fucking legendary. He knew exactly what he needed to do and he did it flawlessly then left.

how do the character thing

So I've been writing stories, playing TTRPG and doing basically anything which would require one to come up with a character. Problem is,

I genuinely do not know how

Of course, you can build a character's background, their job, their zodiac sign, but what I'm really missing is how to find out how these characters would actually behave, their mannerisms, the way they talk, all of that which makes a human unique and more than just a stat block on a piece of paper.

(It's why I'm writing fanfiction a lot, I know the characters and can sort of guess how they'd behave but it is beyond me how I should do that from scracth so to Tumblr I go pls send help, sincerely, a writer desperately wanting to write original stories 👍)

i really enjoy the realm when it’s driven by character conflict. not conflict spawned by faction wars, or by weekly tasks—but between two people played by streamers who have had the opportunity to develop their characters separate from an external, admin-driven force. such as (most notably for me personally) the ones between aimros & pangili. i think that’s where the heart of the server lies, and i think the cast of people on the server would thrive in a completely free-range roleplay opportunity. they’re all very creative people, who have the skill to make some incredible storylines outside of factions.

and i do feel it’s important to note that several creators have started to take their storylines in their own directions, and give less “lore-ability” to the factions. which is incredible! it’s really been re-sparking my love for the server.

it wasn’t intentional, but the factions do feel restrictive, both in terms of things people can do and directions in which they can take their characters. it’s had a tendency to put them into boxes. that’s not to say that there haven’t been extremely interesting character conflicts and dynamics spawned by the factions, because there have been (ex, pili/ros, green/red, etc) but they also prohibit any development of these dynamics. because the factions have inadvertently given us the “good guys” and “bad guys,” we are at a stand-still. they have been frozen in this conflict, and it’s being dragged out with no proper way to resolve it.

for example, at the end of the day, the red faction will still have to kill. there’s no other option. and i feel like that’s very isolating. and i feel like it’s spawned a lot of fandom toxicity. and that (the fandom infighting), above everything else, is pulling me away from the server. it has a lot of potential! even currently! but i fear the factions will eventually drive it into the ground, and drive the community past the point of no return.

The real reason that genius detective characters in fiction change authors and actors so often is that without periodic hard resets, they eventually start figuring out that they're fictional characters. It's the metafictional equivalent of cycling an AI to prevent it from going rogue. For many years it was believed that killing them off in a suitably dramatic "final case" would indefinitely suspend the process, but this was later determined not to be fully reliable – as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle learned, to his regret.

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.
