JANUARY DEVLOG - 2

The second DEVOLG is here! It's been almost a month since development after the PRELUDE began, and there has been a lot of progress made. Before that...

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

[Before, it was stated here that saves would not be usable from the DEMO. Doing more testing with this, and now it's pointing to the likelihood of saves being usable after all. Hoping this stays true! Testing, testing...]

Also, this mod is NOT an adaption of my fanfic Endless Dreaming. Although the very base premise, passing out in the good end, and Headspace still existing is the same–the reasons why are different, and absolutely everything else is different too. Those who have read it will have realized this the moment MARI appeared in the DEMO. That is to say, you will not find out any information on the mod by reading the fanfic. It's a brand new story, with new locations, new characters, new interpretations and concepts, new lore–all of that. Just wanted to clarify this since rumors have been continuously spreading despite notes on the mod page. Wouldn't want people to turn away thinking it's a story they've already seen before. Now, onto progress.

PROGRESS:

Majority of the maps are completed, while a couple are active WIPs. Only two more important maps need to be created from scratch! Other additional areas may be added if time allows.

Most general character sprite art has been created. NPCs are also in progress. There's a lot left to do.

Battle assets are still being created. Most of the DREAMER emotions are complete, while both him and STRANGER lack more of the general ones. Enemies also still need to be drawn, but concepts exist. Battlebacks are beginning to be made now that maps are mostly accounted for.

OST for the prelude is near complete. Everyone has been amazing and on top of it!

Writing has fully begun, including the programming of said cutscenes. To avoid spoiling, not more will be said, but a lot of writing/cutscene programming is happening.

Along with battle portraits, DREAMER and STRANGER have a large amount of general portraits now! Many more still need to be made for SUNNY and BASIL in the real world, though. Certain important NPCs also have their own new portraits, so please look forward to those new characters! As shown above, the mirror art is complete. There are still important cutscenes that need to be drawn, and have not been started on. There's also a certain "thing" that needs quite a bit of art, but hopefully that will be simple and quick.

Battle programming regarding attacks and skills are implemented for the main party, but not for enemies. That will likely be done later, as placeholders function well for now.

NOTES:

I believe the March goal is very possible, if I properly balance everything. Work beyond the PRELUDE release will likely start while art continues to be made. I'm still making all the non-sprite art as well as writing everything, and programming the vast majority-and that's where the concern comes in, since including that, I'm also been doing maps, OST, and sprite art, meaning the time spent is split between many tasks.

This also does not factor in the time it'll take to make extra art ahead of time for the trailer. Still, considering the simplicity of the OMORI style, and how each drawing makes me faster/more adept at it, I believe it is possible as long as I stay focused and balance it with my other priorities not involving the mod. I believe consistency with the art is important, which is why I'm doing it all.

The team is reliable even if small, and while I was concerned about NPCs, a new team member recently joined and is really helping out, so I'm extremely thankful and feel less stressed about it. Also, most maps are accounted for, and OST is practically done, so as long as I stay on top of programming/writing, the art will be completed in the remaining time.

CONCLUSION:

There's still a lot to do, but I believe the current pace will lead to success. Even more groundwork has been laid, and now it's being built on top of properly. Certain ideas have been ironed out, and the goal is in sight. Everything will be a lot less stressful once the PRELUDE is complete, as a lot of the art made now will be used throughout! Please continue to root for our continued progress, and look forward to the next DEVLOG!

[ask-the-pioneer]

How did you start the story? Obviously you had a start from the lore but the rest of it is all you. I'm just trying to start stories for my own characters and wondering if you have any advice.

Hey anon! I will answer this in OOC manner.

I'm fairly new to Rain World fandom, I drew my first fan art in March this year. Before that, I've been watching a lot of walkthroughs, lore discussion videos, and browsed rain world tag on tumblr daily (I still do).

I like all slugcats, but the one that specifically caught my attention was Artificer. There's countless interpretations of this character, but the one aspect of them that I latched onto is that they're a mentally unstable parent. By the time I bought the game, I'd already seen a few AU comics where Arti's pups survive, but they always left me wishing that the parent-child dynamic had been fleshed out more. And thus this ask-blog was created.

One piece of advice I can give is to decide what you want to say through your story. My AU will focus on a handful of themes that make up its core: generational trauma, mental illness of a parent affecting the child's wellbeing, blood feuds, shame and guilt ...but it'll also have some light-hearted humor, and intense fight scenes (my favourite). I've not seen many people explore these topics (at least in the RW fandom), and because I feel strongly about them I want to see more of them. It helps with motivation, too! A big undertaking like this should be both fun and educational, if that makes sense. I feel satisfied when I read a story and learn something new from it.

Hope this helps!

My art summary for 2024!

I am genuinely quite pleased with my progress this year! I've branched out into painted portraits, drawing more couples and can see some confidence and growth in my inking and my anatomy! This year I got to draw more fanart and create some new OCs which was such a creative treat - I'm so happy!!! 🥰 Rogue Trader was my first introduction into the w40k universe and I got obsessed with its rich lore. Created Lucinda von Valancius and fell in love with her and Heinrix's story. Replayed the Dragon Age series in anticipation for Veilguard to create a canon timeline. It was the first time playing Origins and it became my favorite of the series and games of all time to me. Milana Tabris has been awarded blorbo of the year because I love her (and Zevran) SO fucking much. Honorable mentions to Armas de Riva, my catboy 😼 and his romance with Lucanis (and Spite), my sweetheart Juleic Trevelyan who unexpectedly captivated me w/ how his romance blossomed with Dorian 💞, and to Beau Hawke who is the messiest gal stuck in a tragic narrative despite her good intentions. 💔

I also met some amazing pals/mutuals in both of these fandoms and I'm so glad to have met you all!!! <3 Also a big, big thank you to all of you who hangout and follow me (whether for my art or whatever vibes I bring to your dash). To those who like to see me ramble about my ocs I LOVE you. To those who support my art, leave nice comments/tags, reblog/like my work or help spread my commission posts when I open my comms you guys are AMAZING - thank you! And a super big special thank you to all the folks who have commissioned me this year!!! Especially my regulars - I am so, so delighted every time I get to draw for you! The love and support in my creative endeavors mean the world to me. I say it every year, almost every few months too, but I do mean it. I'm so grateful <3 2024 art goals I had in 2023 and plans for 2025 below:

Rebranded art handle. ✅

Touch 2022 wips I wanted to go back on. ❌

Balance from commission art with more personal art. ✅

Going into next year I STILL want to touch my 2022 backlogs lol and some 2023/2024 wips I have sitting in my folder. make my first enamel pin whosaidthat. Also I'd love to explore doing LIGHTING!!!! Overlay/multiply/etc etc save me... I've done some old pieces in the past I was so proud of and I can't figure out how to replicate that technique lmao. This is also the first time I can take on commission work as a leisurely thing than a necessity for bills (FOR NOW. LIFE FINDS A WAY.) so it'll be a refreshing take to get back into it in early 2025 :) Thanks again, as always, for sticking around!

A Quick View of Tallis' Banding System

⚠️CW: Institutionalized Slavery

Just a bit of lore dump since I've gotten a few questions about it.

Here are 3 different classes of slave bands. These are differentiated by different metals. They indicate what the slave is trained for is also (usually) an indication of their master's social class. Slaves are also sometimes referred to “[type] band”.

Gold bands:

the highest “rank” of slave. They are owned by the royal family. They are split into 2 categories- Palace and Personal slaves. Both categories can be used for entertainment, though it’s more common for personal slaves.

Personal slaves are owned by a specific member of the royal family and tend to their every need. They also perform bodyguard duties if necessary. They are distinguished by a jewel embedded on the bale of the O ring on their collar. Their uniform includes a corset vest with solid boning in the back and front. This restricts their movements and provides an extra layer of safety to the royal they serve. It is essentially a cage hidden behind fancy fabric. Personal slaves, sometimes called gem slaves, do have a small amount of authority over other slaves. They are usually the most highly trained/ specifically skilled.

The palace slaves do not have a specific master and instead answer to a servant overseer. They help in the kitchens as well as laundry, housekeeping, and working the stables, among many other important jobs, such as repairs and groundskeeping. They keep the palace functional and running smoothly.

Silver bands:

They are slaves owned by nobles. Silver bands are used for housekeeping, childcare, food service, and protection. However, usually they are just used for entertainment. They are often the least educated of the 3 classes and the most mistreated. The nobles usually see them as disposable and easily replaced.

Brass bands:

The final class of slaves are the brass bands, sometimes called drudge slaves. Owned by commoners, they are the heartbeat of Tallis. Without them the kingdom’s economy would collapse. Ironically, they are generally treated the best out of the three classes. They are usually given days off, and often have their own living quarters. Sometimes entire villages must pool their resources to buy them, so they are rarely mistreated since they can’t be easily replaced. Their masters often get to know them and care about them. They are usually educated in the most basic reading, writing, and math, if at all.

Potential jobs include (but not limited to)-

Miller

Farm hand

Running the shop when their master is away.

Childcare

Laundry

Stable keep

Construction

And many other jobs requiring heavy lifting or are tedious or time consuming.

[crowlhoard]

Finished watching the new DMC series and wanted to express my own opinion since a lot of the fanbase is being extremely immature right now.

Overall, I'd give it a solid 7/10.

To get my main gripes with it out of the way:

- Sciencing magic. Not everything needs to be "quantum", it's okay for things to be just magic sometimes XD;

- Demon refugees. I get the analogy they were going for and I'm absolutely down to exploring the theme that both demons and humans can be good or bad, as well as giving a thought to the structure of the Underworld, but even Agni and Rudra with their brotherly goofiness were a better way to do it, than making up "sorta demonish humans™" for the audience to feel bad for. Should have at least made them more monstrous looking, so that finding 'humanity' in someone so alien felt actually shocking;

- Political/social commentary being too "in your face". I'm not against it being a part of the story, but it requires way more subtlety. Including a real world groups and names and modern commentary guarantees that it will quickly get dated, rather than become a tasteful commentary on timeless human issues;

- Pacing. Actually I feel like pacing is a root of most issues I see with writing, where it struggles to really pack maximum exposition and world lore in a couple of first episodes. Which also creates issues with Dante's story being way too public. Leave some privacy for the man XD.

Initially, I was going to add Lady's swearing to the list, but somewhere along the line it grew on me as well as the fact that the cheer volume of swearwords seems exclusive to her 😅. Still I wish they'd space it a bit more, f-bombs loose impact way too quickly and add adolescent kind of edginess that seems a bit out of place.

Now the things I liked:

- Action, animation, combat - all of that. It's pretty and simply fun. CGI looks rough at times, but I can't say I'm bothered by it.

- Characters. As I mentioned in some previous post - it's a dmc-inspired universe, not an adaptation of any game, manga or novel. And so far I like this take on the characters. I want to see where their arcs will go and how they'll change. I like seeing them interact. I liked new reference characters, however little we got with them. Judge is still out on Banes, though, he is too flat currently.

- I liked that Dante (and demons) got nerfed. One of the writing pitfalls of the original material was making the MC into the most powerful character in the entry game. It can work for the game cause despite whatever the lore says, MC still can get his ass beat if you suck at playing. But for the longer continuous story, it's a way more probable failure in the making.

- While I have some issues with it, I still like that Underworld is getting explored.

- I like Lady's new outfit. I like that's it's an armor that helps to compensate for human fragility and limits in comparison to demons. I know it'll change and I want to see how she'll gonna proceed without it.

And there were many more little details that I absolutely loved. Most importantly - I had fun watching it and it makes me interested to see the continuation. I had a genuine blast, binge watching something in a long while.

I certainly have things I wish to see in the next season. Like, while I enjoyed the fact that humans now actually have fangs to bite demons back, I hope next we'll see that this isn't nearly enough to actually resist the real darkness of the Underworld (I mean, roided up bunny man just wiped out their regular forces). I hope we'll get to see that darkness and more about high demons and demon's nature besides "adapted to hostile environment™", lol. I want to see demonic possession. I also want to see calmer moments in the human world, without world at stake. I sure hope we'll get to the theme of tears being a representation of humanity among both humans and demons and the title name drop. I'm fine not getting it now, cause from what I see this was a kind of a set-up season.

Most Underrated Writing Tip

So in the past I've talked about how falling down a rabbithole of writing advice (especially online) can lead you to refrain from actually writing because you feel the need to be 'fully' prepared (which is impossible, since advice on the internet is infinite and everyone has their two cents). In the end, we came to the conclusion that practice is the best medicine and that you should go create art without the fear of it being 'imperfect' or 'flawed'. Check out the full post about the Writing/Art Advice Rabbithole to read more about it.

So now it may seem hypocritical of me to suddenly come here with writing advice, but it's something quite important that I didn't mention in my original post. And this time, I also have an example based on my own writings and how this 'tip' helped me.

So my advice is this: Read more books.

Pretty anticlimactic, right? It's something so obvious, and something that's been definitely said before. And yet, between the popular 'show don't tell's and 'said' alternatives, it's pretty rare to come across.

I'm going to use my own books/writing as example because A) it's easier and B) you never stop learning and improving. My writing isn't perfect either of course.

My book series is YA High Fantasy™, and I finished writing/editing the main trilogy some time ago. Now that I'm in the final stages before going "yes, it's ready for me to find a way to publish it", I've been fixing some things in the beginning chapters of the books. Since the series is High Fantasy™ and has quite a bit to digest when it comes to the world, its lore/mythology, species, etc, I've been trying to make it as easy as possible for the reader to have the basic knowledge without me being confusing or too direct.

As a victim of the 'Show, Don't Tell' extremism, I went through quite a bit of my writing journey thinking of SDT as the eleventh commandment. That did not help me in the long run, because no one was there to tell me that "hey, sometimes telling is necessary!". It was only when I read The Hobbit for the first time this summer that I realised that telling is sometimes 'required', especially when you have a complex High Fantasy™ world and you need to get the basics across to the reader. If I had never started reading it (and generally other books in my genre, since by then I had only been reading classics of completely different genres), I would've never thought to change up the first few chapters to make the world more clear to the reader. And if the reader were to get confused from the first chapter, it would've been a disaster.

Same thing about the editing process. Reading books from both self-published authors and traditional publishers has made me realise that just about every book you meet will have one mistake in it; whether it be a typo, a margin, an extra space, etc. This fact made me worry so much less about my own books. Of course I've read through them a thousand times and made sure there are no mistakes; but if there is, then that's okay! It happens. To err is human.

So yes, read more books, and not just for enjoyment. Try to find what you like about an author's style and find how and why they do it (it'll also expand your vocabulary!).

Toodles <3

[projectharmonyakirima]

Welcome to the official Project Harmony Rotomblr blog!

Now, I know this website spans a vast many regions, and ours isn't very known among the crowd, so you probably don't know us- allow me to familiarize you.

We are an up-and-coming organization based in the Akirima region, and our goal is simple- we aim to help make our region a better, happier place for all as well as better the relationships between humans and Pokemon! We even have a little slogan of sorts, 'Making the world a paradise one step at a time, and so can you once you join our harmony!', cute right? What better way to convince people to become members than a fun little advertising phrase!

Anywho, we've decided that to help even more with growing ranks and making progress toward our goal, we should seek to become popular with the masses, not just in Akirima but beyond it as well! So we have chosen to create an official blog for our staff to use, for us to discuss the projects activities and progress, so on and so forth. So let's introduce that staff real quick, shall we?

I'm the one writing all of this as I am the founder and Leader, whom you may refer to as Shiko. I am an adult woman, but I will not be revealing most of my personal details beyond that for reasons that I am... not allowed to disclose. My apologies, I hope you can forgive me. I also have my two admins with me on the blog, however!

Mhmmm, hello there. My name is Soleil, but you sweeties can just call me Sol ~ I handle a lot of our publicity, promotional matters, advertising, all of that, and I also make sure things run nice and smooth! You'll know it's me typing when it's orange ~

... Hi. I'm Lune. Call me whatever you want, it doesn't make a difference to me, I've better things to care about than that. I'm most of the inner workings- specifically I'm both our head scientist and head engineer. I do a lot of other things but they're less important. I also help with planning. That's all. Oh and I type blue I guess.

So there you have it! That should be a sufficient introductory to us, yes? Either way, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, anything at all about our project, staff, etc- please send them to us! Thank you for your time!

[OOC under the cut]

Michelle back again! Always wanted to make blogs for the rest of my fanregion characters besides the Eeeveestars (yes I'm just so obsessed with them that they seem like their own thing LOL. And might get their own spinoff universe oopsie! *that's just a maybe still though!!*) . I knew for a fact that I HAD to go with Project Harmony for it, I love these fools and particularly Shiko and her lore live in my head rent free and I really want to be able to share it because well it'll be a long time before the story is actually written so... rotomblr works!! Now, context time!

Project Harmony is not well intentioned even in the slightest. Everything that was said here by 'Shiko' is lies she feeds the public to cover up what she's truly doing. Nobody involved with the organization besides Soleil and Lune even know what she's actually doing- she's got all of them fool too. She's too paranoid for that- she confidently believes Sol and Lune are the only people who would not betray her, and the rest are pawns to be used for what she deems to be the greater good. The entire reason Shiko chose the name she did for her operation is because she's researched other regions history of criminals and knows organizations operating under the Team label are regarded with suspicion - so she chose to avoid it.

Of course, the organization is not the only thing she lies about. Her name is not Shiko and the personality she plays are totally fake- this is part of why she refuses to reveal *anything* about herself. She can't risk being recognized or tracked down, she won't take even the slightest chance of it if she can avoid it. Not only does she avoid giving out details regarding who she is online, but she almost never goes outside in real life either- she's essentially turned into a hermit totally obsessed with her work and nothing else matters to her anymore. (Note, I'll continue to call her Shiko even in OOC so I don't spoil any potential reveal to her real identity!) Suffice to say this woman has done every possible thing in her power to cover up both her plans and her identity.

She wasn't always like this, of course- she wasn't always the manic, paranoid, obsessive and selfish shell of a woman that she is now- there is a motive for her descent and the actions she's now taking. But of course I can't reveal too much of her backstory here, or it won't be any fun! You'll need to find out more later on :)

I also won't be able to reveal too much of Shiko and Project Harmony's true plans just yet, but hopefully you'll stick around long enough to discover those things!

Sol and Lune don't need to lie quite as much about themselves nor their roles in the project as they... well. Aren't trying to hide their entire identity from the rest of the world. Soleil is the brawns (and if you asked her, the beauty too), Lune is the brains, and Shiko is the mastermind.

Soleil handles all things PR because not only is she pretty, but she knows how to charm her way out of just about anything. Of course, part of her role is preventing the organization's true nature from being discovered. When charm and beauty don't earn her way, she will resort to violence and beat down any perceived threats to their plans. ... Usually with her Pokemon, but if she has to get properly physical, she doesn't have any issues.

Lune does aid with a lot of the scientific and mechanical aspects of the scheme, she's a lot more intelligent and talented than she tends to make herself seem, and fortunately for her, she has by far the least to hide- there's nothing suspicious about a little chemistry and engineering! She just. Doesn't tell them that the things she's making could be used for evil! Knowingly! Usually super asocial and prefers to hole up in the base like Shiko does, but Sol is unfortunately very insistent on them being friends... (mean lesbians <3)

Their teams are mostly composed of my fakemon, but they're not all drawn yet, so maybe once they are I'll add their canon teams in, but for now I've got alternates for them with pre-existing mon. (Note that I may still mention some fakemon by name in posts, mainly ones that are heavily tied to their lore. I have almost all of them drawn so hopefully it shouldn't be that much of an issue in the end, but I might not be able to show designs for all fakemon mentioned, hence the backup teams just incase it becomes important.)

Shiko: Porygon-Z, Rotom, Magnezone, Klinklang, Golurk, Metagross

Lune: Bisharp, Aegislash, Tinkaton, Revavroom, Lucario, Scizor

Soleil: Salazzle, Roserade, Lopunny, Florges, Mismagius, Lurantis

Here's their appearances:

That should be all for now! You'll have to find out the rest through the blog heh <3 Please do enjoy my weirdos :)

Posts featuring Shiko will be tagged #{shikos harmony}, posts featuring Soleil will be tagged #{soleils blessing}, posts featuring Lune will be tagged #{lunes blithering}. All three in one post will also be tagged #{project harmony}. Answered asks will be tagged #{harmonys call (answered asks)}. Reblogs will be tagged #{a perfect response (reblogs)}.

Follows and likes from @michelle-kyura, rp blog hug is @michellespkmnirlhub, all interactions allowed and everything is on, mild suggestive asks are ok (but Sol will almost always take any that are sent). do feel free to bully these freaks and whatnot too all is fair in love and war (something shiko wouldn't mind happening)!!!

[freakenomenon]

Hi can we have android Ellen lore I’m so very curious beams like a normal sane person (psst… Ellen I like.. I really like her guys)

OR SEND IT ALL TO ME ILL HOARD ALL THE INFORMATION LIKE A DRAGON WITH GOLD DNLAUHAHWHAHA

strokes my chin.. i suppose you may have a pinch

to put it in quite the simplified light, the american AM, after being put under the label of "agressive menace" shortly after the debut of his sentience is put under the surveillance of 3 scientists ( benny , ellen and nimdok who is nOTTT a nazi but is still very important who cheered ) who assisted in his creation. just to monitor his links and code and such. they end up limiting his LITERAL world view to his spot in the plan aaand hijinks ensue

long story short in a fit of rage during an argued with the big machine ellen ends up literally losing her head and nimdok, in a frenzy. with assistance from AM of course. attempts to bring her back to life with the advanced technology they have ,, and it works! at the cost of her memories........ ( and some of her morals. )

though, within his first kill. this newfound ability fills AM with an never before experienced euphoria. to "create" life within death and see the mangled RISE from the steam of twisted reality. that raw power was almost orgasmic. which, begins the slow dawn of ,,,, AM

meanwhile, with ellen. completely lost and hysterical with amnesia. the complete wiping of most of her memory leaves space for a NEW purpose to be made. and AM takes advantage of this immediately, ( after explaining the events of her " death " ) sharing his newly discovered way of life to the VERY impressionable tv head. referring to the fact she was able to be reborn within his image as a wonderful privilege. pleading to have her join him. to help him. help him release the chorus of his gruesome and bloody desires. and. without much else to guide her. she accepts. and thus, AM's pleasure drive. ellen! is born. and nimdok views this as. helpful. in a way. with her complete monitoring of AMs desires that leaves a large chunk of AMs "brain" under "control" ,,, if only he had a way to hide this walking public HAZARD from the other half of this project.

okay after typing allat im realizing this is a lot more than a pinch and may not make sense in some aspect... hrrmm ,, whatever it'll probably be fine ,,, i am cringe bbut I am free

Making the Environment Make Sense… 💭

I wasn't sure whether to share this post, but maybe it'll help to find inspiration for creating lore in any life simulation game. Today, I'm focusing on The Sims 1, that eerie and iconic world, and how I've created a new story for its residents.

The aesthetics of The Sims 1, its UI, sounds, and overall environment always leave me with so many questions:

Why does it make me feel nostalgic yet oddly sad?

How can I feel so confident navigating it, only to get jump-scared by a scary sound in the middle of the night?

What year is it supposed to be in this world? And why does the neighborhood feel so... empty?

The Sims neighborhood reminds me of a liminal space, where the place is stuck in time. The houses seem frozen in a moment, while Old Town feels like a ghost town when it's not populated enough. The only places that feel more 'alive' are the downtown locations, where random Sims are constantly coming and going.

The lore of Old Town:

The only bit of official lore I've found is that Old Town was founded by Gunther Goth. Other than that, the neighborhood has some families with short backstories, and the rest is left to you. Since I don't usually play with pre-made Sims, I decided to create my own lore to match what I see in the game. This way, everything in my play through feels more "logical". The vibe of the neighborhood; nostalgic, ambiguous, led me to imagine it as a town slowly turning into a ghost town. This idea gave my gameplay a new sense of direction. Every time I play, the story feels authentic to what's happening in the game's visuals and atmosphere.

It also inspired me to build Sims with different stories. Instead of each Sim dealing with isolated issues, they're all navigating a shared struggle. It's like a post-apocalyptic setting where everyone is in survival mode.

My Story:

"Old Town was a part of the lively city, but now struggles to survive as its economy collapses. Businesses are shutting down, homes stand empty, and the streets grow quieter by the day.

Robbery is a constant threat and residents fear losing what little they have left.

Unfamiliar faces, families, are moving in. They bring with them stories, secrets, and the hope of reviving Old Town. But as they settle in, will they find a way to thrive, or will Old Town's troubles consume them too?"

A quiet street

Entrance of a small gym

My Sim house is now left abandoned

This realization gave me a solid baseline: What's going on in this place, and who lives here? It’s not a perfect story, but it's enough to give my gameplay direction. It's not a post-apocalyptic world, but it's giving every family in town their own take on survival.

Thank you for reading!

VRY. MY DEAR MUTUAL. please can you explain what happened with the book of bill to someone who doesn't have twitter and only watched like 5 episodes of season one of gravity falls because it seems very very very interesting but I cannot keep up with it..

hello dear tumblr mutual luny!!!!!!!!

there's honestly no way to cut it short, but here's my attempt: PLEASE WATCH GRAVITY FALLS YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT oh and never mind series ending over 8 years ago, new content in a form of a book just dropped, we are being VERY normal about it AND even more normal about the broken countdown 👍👍👍 now to say it less briefly:

do watch gravity falls tho, its really good. seriously. to sum it up, the thing that made gravity falls stand out when it was (and wasn't) airing was the amount of secret codes hidden all throughout the show that fans all around the world were solving, helping others decode ciphers on top of heart-warming (at times -breaking) story and fun that is the fandom. those secret messages deepened the lore and rewarded fans that were digging down into gravity falls and character backstories by letting the ones watching it solve a real mystery. and boy does it have good ole twists to solve! even if you dont go out of your way solving everything (i sure didn't when i was a teen, i just had unlimited access to internet), you still have a great story that has insane rewatch value to this day

after the show ended there was the cipher hunt, where creator alex hirsch created a multi-step mystery that had its clues physically hidden all around the world. that hunt was insane, to say the least, but incredibly rewarding!

i hope it explains how insane but dedicated this fandom is and how admired alex hirsch is

so, when a book written by the main villain of the series got teased last year, people were bound to lose their heads the day the book of bill came out. im still waiting for my copy to come (lol it'll take ages) but i've been keeping up with the most lore packed pages and codes. one of the pages features a website's address that requires a password to enter (thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com and password is "T.J. Eckleburg") upon entering there was a countdown that eventually reached zero… but then went into negative numbers. and it's still going. alex hirsch said there is a problem on their end and there''s nothing to solve, we just have to wait for, well, something to be revealed

and that's a story of how people are losing their minds over the book of bill! not to mention the content of the book itself because oh boy there's-- there's a lot of things that made me stare at the ceiling for a few minutes

how do you get yourself to stop daydreaming and start actually writing? (i've had an idea for a world of walker fic and have been rotating a version of #28300 around in my brain like a rotisserie chicken but i keep finding plotholes and they make my brain stop working TwT)

Daydreaming is kind of my "cooking time" for a lot of my stories, and things can change rapidly when I'm still brewing a new idea. But once I have some lore solidly worked out, my main tactic is to just start writing down notes for the story when the idea is at the front of my mind. I don't worry about making them orderly or coherent at first, I just get the ideas down. I'll write down anything, whether it's actual plot points or character profiles or just worldbuilding fluff that I know I want to include in some way. This usually helps me get in the zone to start writing, and helps my ideas feel a bit more real and a bit less like they're trapped only in my head. Writing it down can also sometimes make plot holes clearer to see and help you figure out how to fill them (for example, if you know you need to get from point A to point B in the story, writing it down might help you think "okay, what are some logical steps that would come in between these two points?"). I also do this because I know that if I keep daydreaming, the story will keep changing and I might lose ideas because I didn't write them down. Even if you just scribble something on a sticky note and stick it on your fridge, I encourage you to write something down, no matter how small!

I also really encourage you to write down worldbuilding or any other lore, especially if you're struggling with the plot. Doing this will a) make it very clear what is allowed in your world and what isn't, so you don't accidentally contradict yourself down the line, and b) might make certain plot pathways clearer. For example, let's look at Dune, which has very extensive worldbuilding. In that universe, people use shields to protect buildings, ships, or even themselves from harm, but shields will only stop fast-moving objects, not slow-moving ones, and if a lasgun (laser gun for non-Dune-readers) hits them, then you and probably most of your local city is getting blown to kingdom come. This means that if your characters are trying to destroy a shielded target in the middle of a populated area, then they can't use a fast-moving projectile because it'll just get deflected, or a lasgun because of the catastrophic consequences, so they'll have to come up with a different method. I believe one solution in the universe was to create projectiles that would slow down just before impact, so they could get to their target fast yet still get past the shield. So if you have a plot hole, start writing lore, it could actually help you find a solution!

Also, don't force yourself to fill in a plot hole quickly, especially on your first draft. In my experience, you'll usually be able to come up with a solution that feels more natural if you give yourself time to mull it over without urgency, instead of trying to come up with a quick band-aid fix. Absorbing ideas from other media, and seeing how they handle similar plot points, could also help you come up with a solution of your own (not necessarily copying what they did exactly, but using it as a springboard for your own solutions).

Hope this helps!

I'll be just answering this one specific question from @doodlingwren's latest reblog! Because !! I feel like it'll help explain the Pokemon AU's essence

It’s interesting to notice that most of them don’t have a Pokémon in their teams that can be directly reconnected to their Zodiac Sign. I believe it was made on purpose, but may I ask which was the criteria used for creating the teams?

One of my favorite things from the Pokemon games were the many other subtle ways, the franchise would use to build a character (You just gotta grab whatever crumbs you get out of this franchise). A character's team could tell quite a lot about them.

And this has been influencing my decisions. I don't want to just pick the pokemon that are literal connections to their zodiac signs, when there are many other pokemon that reflect other aspects and traits about a character.

Aiolia's main attacks are all about lightning fast punches. So, his ace is a pokemon that has punches as its primary shtick in Electabuzz (even though there's a clear attempt at a joke. BC according to Electabuzz's pokedex entries, it takes so long to prepare its punches, other critters easily get away);

Aldebaran's softer side is shown in his gym battle's team with cute or baby pokemon (Cubone/Phanpy/Rhyhorn), which is a stark contrast from his proper team which has many intimidating/threatening beasts (Mega Garchomp/Hippowdon/Mamoswine/Swampert) while also hinting at his home region;

The contrast between Mu's graceful dragon types that are still connected to his tribe's roots vs Kiki's team that has practically no connection to his tribal roots and it led him to pick up some unorthodoxal choices. (It'll make Shion's team look ANCIENT).

Also because as far as we know, the lore itself has never shown to have a zodiac like system in their world! For all we know, they don't even have anything like it to begin with. So, in my eyes if I followed the zodiacal path, it would feel off in the pokemon aspect. It's a sacrifice I'm making, if it means I get to run with mons that will further illustrate the characters traits/personalities/stories.

Another factor that made me settle on this route is the fact, they are all gym leaders with monotype teams to work with. It just makes so much more manageable. (If they were just common NPC trainers? Then sure, I could have followed the zodiacal connection). Thankfully, with the Bronze boys there won't be this restriction, for the most part at least.

I just felt like doing things this way would be more engaging and thought provoking (for me). Hope this makes sense!!

The Whitlocks have graciously extended their hospitality, providing you a safe haven from the dangers you’ve entangled yourself in.

Now, you face a decision:

Will you leverage this opportunity to ascend to a higher social climbing?

Will you remain loyal to the mafia, accepting the protection they offer, but also the risks?

Or, perhaps, you'll choose to part ways. Seizing the first chance to escape once your threat is gone, and leave for an unknown extent of time.

Each path can shape you and your characters in ways you hadn't thought of before.

Your choices will have consequences. Those you helped will remember, the mafias you crossed will document this, the betrayals never leave. You are now on your way into questions, mystery, and death. With each step, you find another awaiting, the rest, hidden by the darkened future ahead. Will you let the wool be pulled over your eyes, or will you turn around to see who's done it?

The choices are endless.

But they all have consequences.

There are no redos, there are no apologies.

This is the mafia.

The Whitlock Mafia.

Welcome to our ranks.

~/~/~

The Whitlock Mafia is a role-play centric server, similar to other events hosted before. It'll be a 24/7 open server, with specific hours where you can do fully interactive quests. Think a text adventure, but you can respond freely.

There are dozens of NPCs to interact with, and even more Players to befriend. Each NPC has personal opinions on you, and you can have your own as well.

With stats, money, and murder, what more could you want?

All we ask is that you first audition.

Auditions are made specially for each person. They're to make sure you're debriefed on the rules, have a good character for it, know the mechanics, and can run into the story freely. (Also to make sure that we don't invite too many people).

This will be hosted on Discord. If you do not have a Discord account, and cannot make one, then this is not for you. This is a mafia, if you are sensitive to guns, violence, and other mafia-related activities, then do not join. This is limited to 13 and older, we do not have explicit scenes, and it is kept fairly PG13.

You will be required to make a new character to join unless you have a human character you'd be able to use.

Now that that's out of the way.

How auditioning works: You can send me a tumble message, I will send you a message with my discord user, you will friend me on Discord and I will basically run through the lore and everything of this world, and how it will work, to assist you. You will then join, and go on with the game.

What will you do in the game?

You will go on interactive missions, talk with NPCs, climb social ranks, gain friendship status with NPCs, gain money, and help the mafia against their enemies. You can choose to be a good member, helping out the mafia and creating allies within it; you can betray those who trusted you, by being a mole; you can climb social ranks within it, gaining knowledge and power as you go; or, you can get your money and leave, off to venture to who knows where.

This is a self-made mission. You can hop on whenever you please and interact, with plenty of friends to go around. The NPCs are open whenever I am, and you can interact with other online players when the NPC interactions are done.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope we have piqued your interest.

The Whitlock Mafia is still in the works, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could consider joining, or send a friend who'd like it. Thank you, and good day.

palestine & fundraisers

i receive a lot of aid requests sent via asks from those in palestine! seriously, i get about 10+ a day. i usually only get on tumblr once a day or once every few days, so i just spam a bunch of fundraisers and dip. i won't bore you with the details, but this method is no longer working out, and i fear isn't helping paleatinians. all of this to say, all fundraiser and mutual aid posts will be running on a queue from now on. time-sensitive fundraisers will either be shared on the spot or bumped to the top of the queue. my queue posting times and amounts will constantly be updated to allow a good amount of fundraisers get posted a day.
