Behind The Story-Two Truths and a Lie

Fandom: Supergirl

Link: AO3

When watching Supergirl, I didn't like the fallout that happened when Kara revealed her secret identity to Lena. I get why Lena was angry. Kara definitely should have told her way sooner than she did.

However, I did think that Lena went overboard with how she handled the situation. The fact that she resorted to trusting Lex even after all the evil things he did was unrealistic to me. I had gotten a prompt of two truths and a lie and thought it would be good to write a story about an identity reveal around this prompt. It is a silly game that led to a deep and serious conversation that needed to be had. I thought that it gave the characters to gain a deeper understanding of each other once they got to the other side of their conversation.

Thank you to everyone who follows this blog.

You are a wonderful and amazing person.

So, this blog recently turned 4 years old and I remember in the early days being excited when the blog reached 200 people (there's even a graphic somewhere). Never did I think it would get to 2,000.

Cyberpunk is a great genre to be involved with as it seems to resonate so much with people and our modern life.

What's coming next?

Once we hit 2,000 followers I have a couple of cyberpunk short stories ready to publish for you, including pictures.

Each story expands the world of Synthmark a little bit more.

I look forward to sharing these stories with you.

Thinking about how my Chronicle of the Spheres series is kind of an open letter to my extremely Lutheran upbringing, and an ongoing discussion of the effects of growing up queer and neurodivergent in that environment.

The setting, with its strong focus on the citizens of Heaven and Hell, is an obvious reflection of that. Then there’s the eventual reveal that “demon” used to mean “problem” and then linguistic drift happened. And the way all the major villains are characters who abuse the power they have over others (I know, I know, low hanging fruit). The fact that angels and demons for the most part are just people, but sometimes there’s an archangel who is vast eldritch and unknowable and he gets mad and stomps around because someone he’s fond of got hurt. There’s the character with a chronic illness being cast out from his own people. There’s the character struggling to face his trauma and screwing up over and over again while being exceptionally competent at everything else he does. There are exhausted healers.

Lost Souls aren’t condemned, they’ve just strayed from where they belong. Dragons are a diverse category of beings ranging from crow-like to godlike. Fallen angels have committed murder, but what about angels who have done every evil except murder? Sometimes a person can become an entirely different species. Mostly people just need the care and support of others.

There’s a theme of growth and healing throughout these stories. Akieryon goes far from home to find his place. Ragheiyont discovers (by total accident) a way to better manage his symptoms. Blood must be paid to restore the world of the dead, but it must be as just an act as the one that broke it. The remnants of a fractured culture will come home. The fridged character will be thawed.

It will be okay.

We will heal.

We will find where we belong.

Meanwhile, during MewTwo's fight with Mew in @xxtc-96xx 's shadow ark...

Ocunan has gotten pretty good at hiding his presence, not necessarily willingly, though he tends to want it to be his own will that he hides, so he has trained to be nearly undetectable. Or maybe that's just what Ocunan wants you to believe.

Previous part:

I hope you found my comic interesting, I spent way too long to get it done.

So I found this video. It's just Joel Crawford (Director) and Januel Mercado (Co-director) discussing and showing the deleted scenes of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Looking at the deleted scenes and reading some of the comments. I wholeheartedly agree that some of these scenes would've made the movie cringey or even downright bad. There are some I liked, but most of them I didn't. I am so glad that they didn't settle for half-baked jokes, bad character depiction and most of all, the seemingly forced relationship between Puss and Kitty. I'm not saying their ideas were bad, instead I praise them. I praise them for not being Disney.

So anyway, I wanna point out something here. I am incredibly grateful, that the final product that we, the viewers, got is the result of multiple revisions and changes that resulted for the better.

I used to think that PiB:TLW was a miracle movie. A one-off event that happens every 10 years or so. But I guess I was proven wrong by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado. The video really showed that it wasn't a miracle, it showed that it's just the result of creative minds and collaboration. It shows that this is the result of a project that took 10 years to make. You can really feel the blood and sweat within it.

I truly admire their sense of passion, not just towards the director, but to everyone who participated in the project, who gave it their all and make it the best it can be. The actors, writers, screen writers, FX and the music team, everyone. They didn't leave any stone unturned and didn't settle for "Good enough", just like the Japanese saying "Kaizen" or "continuous improvement".

Anyway. All I'm saying is that Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, and everyone who worked on it, deserves every praise. They worked hard on it and they gave us something so good that it's almost a miracle.

Thank you, DreamWorks.

Conversations From the Road – Now You Know

One of the biggest things that has always held me back is revealing that I’m both loud and quiet, meaning I like things that are loud, and I like things that are quiet. Now some people say this shouldn’t be a problem for me or anyone else like me but in reality, it is a problem for some people. But for the people who don’t like me when I’m loud, or quiet, and not just one all the time, fuck…

Behind the Story-Taxes, Taxes, Taxes

I decided to start this behind-the-scenes post about some of the work I have written. I often like to see what led to a story being created and thought that some of you might too.

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes was originally never supposed to become a full fledged story. It started off as an answer to a writing prompt. I was supposed to choose two genres and combine them. I chose satire and superheroes. From there, I thought about what is something that could be satirical in the world of superheroes. The first thing that came to mind was about the property damage that is seen all the time in superhero films. You see the damage that is caused, but nothing to help or any repercussions for it. It had me thinking about what if superheroes were held accountable for the property damage that they caused? I then wrote from that stand point.

When I first wrote the first couple of paragraphs of Taxes, Taxes, ,Taxes, I initially wasn't going to post it to AO3. I thought the idea was too niche and out there. However, people seemed to respond to it. Now, it has over 20 chapters, and I am still currently writing for it. It has definitely been a interesting journey so far, and hope to provide more chapters that you guys like :)
