whiplash stakes
watching Dance of the Sky Empire (because hey I was bored and sadly Song of Glory looks like it’s going to be an incoherent plot wreck, sadly, and Love a Lifetime is devolving into barely better) -- and once again marveling at how a cdrama will go from utter ridiculous for the sake of humor to srs-drama levels of implied angst, and why I find it unsatisfying.
maybe it was because the ‘multiple races included winged’ keeps making me think of the various novoland stories, but I kept comparing DotSE to Eagle Flag. Both have their ruffian troublemakers, because that’s where some of the nose-thumbing humor comes from.
In DotSE, the ruffian not only gets away with it, he buries a prince up to his neck in the ground. In N:EF, there’s a distinct sense that if/when the princess-in-disguise gets caught by the noble asshats she’s scamming, there’ll be hell to pay -- and the asshat is just rich, not royal. Going so far as to trap and humiliate a member of the royal family... in N:EF, I would’ve expected banishment, imprisonment, if not simple torture and public execution.
Which means that when we get the threat of war in N:EF, or even the staged fights as part of joining the guards, we don’t expect it to go easy. It felt like a very real possibility of severe injury, possibly death, for the sake of an action.
In DotSE, the complete lack of any consequences for what are pretty extreme actions -- for the purposes of comedy -- set expectations such that when there are extreme actions where the consequences are severe... it feels like you don’t know whether to be in suspense (will they get out of this okay) or amused (of course they’ll get out okay, the question is how much humor they’ll find in it).
this is one thing I think Joy of Life really nails, that makes its comedy work -- because the stakes are always high. the fun isn’t solely in the protag's stunts, but also in how he evades the consequences of those stunts, carefully weaseling his way out through a combination of fast talking, some misdirection, and a few last-minute saves by more powerful people.
so even when there’s humor in whatever shenanigan he’s trying to pull off, the result is often an oh god he pulled it off sense of relief -- and that’s very much a reaction not to comedy but to suspense. iow, there’s tonal consistency even if the humor is situational.
for the first (flashback sections) third of Untamed, tonally it’s closer to DotSE than JoL or N:EF -- yet unlike DotSE, CQL has consequences. from a writer’s perspective, tU/CQL goes a lot of stories one better by not only having the consequences ramp up alongside the stakes, but having the consequences push the story forward.
in DotSE, the protag sleeps through classes, talks back to the teacher, and the closest he gets to suffering a consequence is that he’s kicked out of class (once) -- which in turn frees him to pull off his next antic. in tU/CQL, breaking the rules first gets a lecture, then the assignment of copying the rules a hundred times, and then finally gets the protag a significant corporeal punishment. and it’s the recovery from that punishment that put him in the right place at the right time to trigger (or experience) the breakthrough that shoves the story into a higher gear.
from there on, the consequences get steeper and steeper, as the story escalates into darker territory. we go from ‘getting caught’ means a stern lecture, to a whipping, to serious harm and/or psychological torture, to the complete destruction of one’s home and the death of the protag’s adopted parents. there’s no tonal whiplash because the shift is always incremental. the lights never go off suddenly, they dim slowly, until what started so light-hearted has become very, very, dark.
in JoL and N:EF, the first part of the story, the protags are kids, and their age seems to shield them from the worst of the possible consequences. entering some resemblance of adulthood means all the withheld consequences now crash down on their heads, as the stakes shoot sky-high. but that’s not a tonal shift in the same way, I think, because the rest of the story (as usually typified by adults around the protags) indicates there are consequences, it’s just the children are temporarily protected from them.
in tU/CQL, the stakes grow with the protag, because he’s in a world that’s changing (from relative peace to brink of war to all-out war to the aftermath). War is always foregrounded in N:EF, while it’s a constant background note in JoL -- and it’s little more than a dire warning in DotSE. That means while consequences are consistently high in N:EF and JoL, they can flex and grow with the protag in tU/CQL, as the scope of his interaction/influence expands to a larger and larger scale.
and that’s why, I think, that while i do find some of the antics amusing in DotSE, going from ‘who will win this dance tournament’ to ‘a powerful kirin on a murder spree’ is too much whiplash. it’s going from zero consequences to the implication of severe consequences, and that’s too big of a jump.

ik ive been working ravenously on Logicbomb, but here's a messy, just-gettin-the-base-design-together doodles of the mc’s from Dragonology, another series im working on. Full title: Dragonology: The Serpent’s Epoch or DTSE(dotse also acceptable and i’ve been pronouncing it dot c in my head anyways)
anyways, here’s some scrabbled information about these characters.
Top left: Redstorm Derecho, Aka Red
pronouns: he him
his scerla color is a greyish blue and i am considering making his horns and spines slightly darker blueish grey but i’ll have to see abt that
jock/prep of the group
would wear a joutfit (jean outfit)
hes the newest design here so he will prolly change a bit
acts oblivious to things
Top right: Elixir
I do not have her full name yet
pronouns: she her
scerla color is a dark blue.
She loves sun and sunflowers
prep/nerd of the group
sunflower sundress wearer
aggressively pacifist.
Bottom left: Swill Seraph
his name is formatted differently due to something that’ll be in the series.
pronouns, he him
scerla is a yellow, pale enough that it looks stylistic instead of normal yellow scerla
nerd/goth
hes the most developed rn.
google image search nerd and that’d be his wardrobe. I’m trying to make him invoke the same emotion i feel when i think abt “my Immortal”
Seawater Toxin
actually goes by diff parts of her name in diff parts of the story for reasons youll see.
Usually its toxin
pronouns, ive been inconsistent, though it would make sense to make it even by using she her for toxin
undeniably yellow sclera.
new design choice: the pink splotches are hardly visible on her left (the side you can see). It centers on the right: side of her face, shoulder and thigh.
jock/goth: joth.
black sweaters and khakis. Emo indiana jones.
i also need to make the greens paler and the pinks darker
These are also the general bodytypes they’ll have
this isnt a dtse character but i scribbled my sona in this style but i textured it.

Presiding Judge Justice Dotse stated that the threshold a party ought to meet to enable it to review its own judgement has not been met. The court in July 2022 struck out Section 43 of the Narcotics Narcotics Control Commission Act, Act…

‘Is this the time for this intellectual exercise?’ – Supreme Court Judge to Barker-Vormawor’s lawyers.
On Wednesday, a Supreme Court bench chaired by Justice Jones Dotse questioned why lawyers for #FixTheCountry Movement campaigner Oliver Barker-Vormawor failed to file a bail application before the High Court and instead sought the Supreme Court’s intervention. “You’re dealing with an individual’s liberty. You begin your trek to the Court. You want us to use a hybrid approach to interpret the…
