The Art of Flashbacks: Using Past Events to Enrich Your Story

In the tapestry of storytelling, the past is not a forgotten thread but a vibrant color that infuses depth and meaning into the narrative. Flashbacks are the writer’s brushstrokes, allowing the past to be a living part of the present story. However, the art of using flashbacks goes beyond mere chronological shifts. It involves a thoughtful, deliberate process of weaving past events into the…

Happy Caturday with another crafty flashback to 2015! In addition to roly poly cat, Mom also crocheted a bouncy rainbow jellyfish toy for friend Samwise's (then) new cat, Steve Catsberg! 🔙🌈🪼

I helped Mom stuff Steve's new toy with premium catnip. We weren't sure how much catnip was enough for Steve to smell through the stuffing, so we dumped in multiple tablespoons . . . which turned out to be a ridiculous overdose-level of catnip, much to Steve’s delight! 👃😻🙊

Scar has CPTSD from TCD. He has a bad night, and then an even worse morning, and Cleo funnily enough is the one to comfort him through it.

I did it I made a oneshot. Short and sweet. Oh my gods I truly thought I was incapable of doing so.

I cannot have another long project. None of you have any idea the scope of the plans for LMLY. Easily well over 100k words. Easily. Likely far more.

hahaha well. didn't mean for tomorrow's inutile chapter to be 8k but here we are.

Can’t believe I’m saying these words in the year 2023 but ‘don’t cry, craft’ is unironically how I deal with most of my problems these days

//who are THESE fresh squids?? (made here)

okay these guys might not get a mention on this blog for a while- if ever- so i'm gonna talk about them now bc i've been rotating them in my mind for a while

these are captain's siblings! the ones they left behind when they were 14 to run away to inkopolis. captain certainly isn't proud of leaving them behind at ALL, in fact the one thing they wish they'd done differently is taking them with them, even if it would've been damn near impossible to take care of 2 younger siblings all on their own away from home when they were already struggling to take care of themself. they have no idea how their siblings fared with their neglectful ass father after they left, but pierce (right) was only a year or 2 younger than them, so they hoped he'd be able to leave soon too- taking harper (left) with him

so yeah harper (left) i think is probably around 16 or 17 now, having been 7 or 8 when captain left. since she was pretty young she didn't really know exactly why they left, and they didn't tell her either, so i'd say she probably resents them for it. she's a hotheaded edgy teen, classic rebel, you know the deal.

and then there's pierce (right), who's around 21 or 22 now, so he would've been 12 or 13 when they left. even if they didn't say a word to him before packing their bags and hopping a train at the asscrack of dawn, he knows exactly why they did. because being a kid and not only growing up, but having to parent your 2 younger siblings in your father's place, is hard. he basically had to take on their role as caretaker of harper when they left, being the second oldest, and that's how he realized. he doesn't resent them exactly, but he does wish they'd at least said goodbye. he's an outwardly chipper guy, and puts on a brave face even at the worst of times.

and they both did eventually get out of that house- pierce didn't leave as soon as he turned 14 like captain did (though cod, he wanted to) but when harper was old enough to be left home alone he got a job and saved up what he could to get himself and his younger sister out of there. and then when harper was 12 and he was 17, he got them both out of there. they might have gone somewhere else first, but i wanna say they probably ended up in splatsville, living in an apartment together with pierce doing what he can to support harper through school, and she does some turfing herself to help with rent and save up her own money so she can get her own place eventually.

i feel like the reason they probably haven't run into captain is that captain lives in inkopolis and only really goes to splatsville to visit rookie, and the last time they saw their siblings, neither of them were fully transformed yet, and they aren't so easy to recognize anymore themself. so if they've happened to pass each other on the street, it'd take more than just a cursory glance to realize just who they're passing. so it could definitely, and likely will, happen eventually. who's to say.

my wheel of time toxic trait (well, one of many) is that i thought the rhuidean columns sequence was boring 😔 although granted, i've only read it the once and it's the kind of thing that's designed to hit better on a reread when you have more context. but i just kinda chuckle whenever i see people mentioning it as one of their favorite scenes in the entire series because all i remember thinking during it is "what the hell is going on? why is this lasting a million pages? i don't care about these randos! mat is DYING!!!"

Does someone remember from which episode was that scene where teen selim & teen bayezid give suleyman two gifts and he has to chose one (and I think he picks bayezid's, prolly the only time in which he favoured him but I may be wrong)

Happy Caturday with a flashback to when Mom crocheted a roly poly cat friend for friend Samwise! 🔙😸

I helped Mom find the perfect matching mug to package with roly poly cat. Of course, before any packaging happened, tiny 2015 me gave both a thorough GRUMP-spection! 🐈☕️🧐🐢😤

people need to give more love to The Answer (Persona 3 FES)'s soundtrack. it's good enough to stand alongside The Journey in my opinion; sure the Mass Destruction remix isn't all that good but then you have stuff like Heartful Cry which goes hard as hell and Interstice of Time which is just as good as Tartarus in my opinion. the way it's packaged into the officially released soundtrack is perfect, too; instead of each part of the song being separate tracks that all have fadeouts and don't last longer than like 2-3 minutes, it's one continuous seamless 10 minute experience that is so fucking good, as the tension builds and builds and builds and builds with all the different kinds of instrumentation that's introduced, same as Tartarus, but instead of capping off at an epic orchestral finale like how Tartarus does all that tension is dissipated instantly by the return to the simple piano at the finale and it's fucking Haunting I love it so much
