#LIKE. doing anything that isn't happening in the foreground in writing makes it confusing and fucks up the flow.

this is not a pokemon blog but i spent the last like hour reading and crying and wheezing over an [unfinished and indefinitely hiatused, sobs] nuzlocke comic so. standby while i track down the first page on tumblr to reblog here
edit: so turns out, however it is they structured their blog, i have no idea how to reblog the post or even if i can. here’s the first page on tumblr; no idea how navigating it will work so here’s the deviantart link too
#funnily enough i found the first page on pinterest and clicked through to the postings on deviantart#sidenote deviantart is so annoying to use on mobile but yknow what. i did it. the comic was worth it.#not kpop#shut up vic#god i am so jealous of artists i am so jealous of comics as a medium like.#i'm a writer. i can't put little details in the background that are optional to the plot but enrich the environment#i can't have characters catfighting in the background; i can't have a bird doing loop-de-loops#i can't have characters arguing about how to get out of a situation as one character in the background discovers a secret door#and tries desperately to get the arguement to notice their discovery#while the argument is happening in the foreground and the secret door is completely dialogueless#LIKE. doing anything that isn't happening in the foreground in writing makes it confusing and fucks up the flow.#and i'm using words!!! i can't put little details for people to notice later!!!!#if i mention something it's important!!!! it has to be!!!!! chekov's gun!!!! storytelling rules!!!!!#don't bog the audience with unnecessary details or they won't remember the important ones!!!!! unless it's a mystery but i don't write those#god i am so jealous of webcomics i'm so jealous of artists i'm so jealous of comics#they're hard and i know that and they burn you out and i know that#but god. god. there's something so incredibly special about comics.#hi i'm vic and my specialties include crying over artistic mediums because what a medium does for its story is so interesting to me#a social media au is different from a paragraph fic is different from a comic is different from a movie is different from a video game#and they all do different things and they all enhance their stories in different ways and that is SO FUCKING COOL AND SO FUCKING DEVASTATING#I WANNA DO THAT!!! I WANNA CREATE ALL OF THAT!!! but FUCK me dude drawing is too hard for me#anyway standby while i reblog the first page
