I had ideas for an Au of the TROD AU or just regular AU that involves the amnesia trope that I'm spinning in my head so I'm gonna post it here for safe keeping.

First idea is permanent amneisa, second is if it was temporary

Hold these. I may or may not make a one shot or something

Since Bioware won't release the CC I'm using Baldur's Gate to plan some Rooks.

Evil Bad Guy could be trying to craft an Impossible Craft but their understanding of said Impossible Craft requires a bunch of base components from Biomes that don't exist in minecraft yet. they have knowledge that these Biomes can arise from transforming existing Biomes with Mysterious Plants that came to earth from venus (a play on the tall tale of venus flytraps coming from a meteor carrying plantlife from venus)

Interesting ideas, though I'm not entirely sure how existing Minecraft biomes are relevant to my game. I do have ideas for at least two "magic" biomes at the moment (and I'll probably come up with more).

I'm going back and forth on what exactly the Evil Bad Guy is hoping to achieve. I do want what it is capable of in-game to be the same as what the player is, both for laziness reasons (I don't want to have to draw and balance a bunch more things that the enemy specifically can do but the player can't) and so it's theoretically easier to implement multiplayer if I ever get to the stage where that is a feasible thing to do

apparently at some point between me getting my camera (many years ago) there came along a whole ass website devoted to doing well and on purpose the thing I do poorly and by guesswork, which is: finding settings to make your marvel of technology mirrorless digital camera look like an ancient probably cheap as hell film gadget you bought in the back of a walgreens sometime in the 90s

Honestly speaking, when i get a writer's block, it's for one wip, so i just move to other wips(the ones in which i have ideas) and i write those and then i go back to the main wip. Idk it works for me but I'm gonna try this out too

Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:

kill someone

ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong

switch the POV from your current character to another - a minor character, the antagonist, anyone

stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write

write the ending

write a sex scene

use a scene prompt

use sentence starters

read someone else’s writing

Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.

Amazing work by the LoTR fandom, as always.

reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics

AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

Reading the wikis about renaissance salons and early modern English coffeehouse culture for the billionth times lol, and I think something underexplored (at least insofar as I've bothered to actually look yet lol) is that like they're often renowned as having established and enlightened the public sphere, but were in fact still private institutions. I'm particularly meaning the coffeehouse case--salons were private in the sense of being hosted by an individual inviting people [and the elitist exclusionism/biases this caused have in fact been explored], but by private I more mean that cafes are businesses rather than a truly public-invested space. There are of course many points that have been made about their having gained significant social power rivaling the universities, just wish the actual nature of that rivalling power could generally get a bit more depth beyond just like being "from being more in touch w the common public." Topic also reminds me of a book I was reading a few months ago about the history of bookstores (specifically as opposed to libraries) and their role in shaping intellectual trends/communities/cultures.

I think going further into the foundationally capitalist motive of those historical platforms/facilitators for "public" discourse/connection, and how it may have shaped what went through them, could lend interesting parallel insights or outright ancestral context for the current state of privately-owned online social media.

Gotham has so many rogues and most of them don’t actually cause that much trouble in the grand scheme of things, so other than the really big ones, like joker, news about Gotham rogues can get pretty muddled outside the city which leads the JL to believing that Batman and Manbat are the same person and that their colleague sometimes turns into a giant bat monster but they don’t bring it up bc they think it’s a sensitive topic

Which eventually leads to a scenario like this mid combat when they’re getting pretty desperate:

Green Lantern: I know we’re not supposed to talk about it or whatever, but it would be really helpful if you could turn into a giant bat right now, spooky

Batman, having zero context for this comment, pausing mid fight to look at Hal like he just grew a second head: What the fuck are you talking about, Jordan?

Green Lantern, suddenly much less confident: Um…you know how you…turn into a giant bat?

Batman, utterly bewildered, turning to the other members but finding that he is clearly the only one out of the loop: what is happening right now
