literally any time i read anything on narrative construction im like oh yeah a perfect example of this is how the hunger games does it. like a good story should answer the question of “what does the character want and why can’t they have it” like well katniss wants to save prim and she can’t have it bc the conditions of the oppressive regime make that imposible no matter how much the stakes keep getting raised and that’s the central question the entire trilogy is concerned with and it’s the driving force for every single one of her actions. easy! and perfect. it’s the first line of the book. it’s flawless.

tbh I wish the rest of the NDA could have met Shachi before he died.

I wish we could've seen the NDA detectives interact with the Resistance group, since they're basically on two sides of the same coin fighting back against Amaterasu. Unfortunately, chapter 3's set-up with them all being separated makes that pretty impossible to happen, but it's a thought worth considering. If the other detectives met Shachi, I imagine they'd get along pretty well, especially since he's aligned heavily with Yakou's goal to protect Kanai Ward's citizens. I've even spoken about how Yakou and Shachi would get along specifically since it's a plot point in my Death Knight AU. Any friend of Yakou's is a friend to the NDA!

Number 2 please

2. Your 5 favorite spots to be stimulated.

My neck My back My pussy and My crack But for real my answer is my pussy (obviously), neck, shoulders, wrists, and thighs.

I never realized I love my shoulders stimulated until now, but I looooove kisses there. Like the space between the ball of my shoulder and my neck on both sides of my body? Ughhhhhh <3 I could cum from it.

no offence but I just someone speculating that s3 was ‘purposely off’ i.e all the characters were off and arguing and given weird story arcs (like hopper being a toxic indiana jones nightmare or mike getting immature and annoying ) perhaps due to vecna gaining power and warping hawkins or something?? I just wanna say if that turns out to be true…..

I’m not the biggest fan of when a storyline turns out to have been altered by a ‘inhuman’ force or given a caveat, like on one hand what s4 did with revealing that due to memory loss/trauma el didn’t realise until she was shown that in s1 she was the one who created the upside down and ‘created’ vecna…….like ok! that was actually cool writing! she could’ve literally blocked that memory out but to say that vecna secretly behind the scenes of season 3 puppet mastered an entire town of people and changed their characteristics and storyline to make them a bit annoying? I just I dunno…..sometimes it’s okay to say that the writing was not good, I vote to not fix it with these crazy reasons, like maybe I’m boring! but sometimes the writing is not good
