#but yeah it's a skip for me also

[julianavalds]

just wanna say the public singing was also an instant skip for me even tho ive rewatched the rest of that scene like 10x it gives worse chills than a horror movie

ajskgdh ikr? and the thing is i love the little conversation that they have afterwards, the 'i love you' and of course the shup up kiss, but public scenes like that just makes my skin crawl, as soon as i found out kate was gonna do that i just noped pretty fast, bless gifmakers for doing such descriptive gifset 'cause that was the only way for me to know what happened before the kiss, and even with gifs is hard for me not to pass by pretty fast, i just focus on what is being said instead of what's happening lol

There are so many moments in Dead Dead Demon's Destruction that are just so pointed and devastating but this one really hits man. I'm kind of wondering if it was written after the Logan Paul thing happened, though of course it's probably referencing a lot of things related to a general American attitude that is, uh, timeless.

Tips from a trans masc that passes pretty damn well even though I haven’t started transitioning and can’t bind.

1. Walk like you carry your manhood between your legs! If you pretend like you got a “package” while you walk (if you don’t have a packer which I don’t) it’ll make your stride look way more masc. it’s the shuttle things people.(don’t overdo it though)

2. Looking for Jeans? Levi’s 505 pant cut. I personally think this cut is great for people who don’t want their wide hips to be so obvious. Thigh room and baggy legs. I should be a 32x33 but I always go for 34x34 for the best baggy effect. Got like three pairs of these.

3. Tired of wearing huge shirts? Sometimes smaller is better. When buying a shirt make sure it’s cropped above your hips so it doesn’t hug your figure, the shirt must fall straight from the pit (make sure it’s lose around the torso to hide the waist), keep sleeves of shirt short and tight (makes arms look bigger and muscular)

4. I know putting weight on one leg is much more comfortable but sacrifices need to be made. Keep weight equal on both feet, and keep them apart by about a foot in distance (Evens out the curve of your hips and makes it a little less noticeable). To be more comfortable I like to sway back and forth if I get tired of standing like that for too long.

5. DARK CLOTHES CREATE LESS SHADOWS, BETTER AT HIDING THE CURVES!

6. I know you want to slouch. Don’t do it. It’s not worth the terrible posture. We men got to stand up straight and maximize our height.

I could keep going but I’ll cut it short at the MOST achievable stuff.

you’re forgetting one vital step and that’s to listen to this song every morning at breakfast

you can skip all the other steps if you can’t remember them it’s fine (I’ll forgive you, king)

Thinking about how terrified Lister must’ve been during Demons and Angels. He’s trapped with the warped, evil versions of his crewmates. He’s forced to not only interact with a spider, but to also eat it. The guy he’s had a fraught rivalry with, the guy he’s brushed off as being unable to hurt him due to his incoporeal state, is now able to hurt him and WANTS to hurt him. He’s forced to confront the darker side of himself, the side that “thinks terrible things”. The method of torture they use against him is extremely personal. This is a guy who’s not afraid to go against authority, forced into submission without any way to escape. Then, they use this power over him to attack the High side of himself, and then to turn on his own crew. He attacks the guys he cares about, unable to stop himself, his Low side piloting his every action. This is a guy who hates being controlled , and he is constantly manipulated by his Low self throughout the second half of the episode. I wonder how long it took him to reconcile with the fact that there was in fact a version of himself that would not hesitate to do that to someone. I wonder how long it took him to wash the taste of spider from his mouth.

and when he starts getting stalked by the monsters he wrote (based on traumas of his past) he has to figure out how to survive, along with his best friend and boyfriend

Can you make a tutorial on how you world build and make ocs? I can't seem to make any people in my brain, but then when I try to come up with environments jobs, beliefs and little details to slowly come up with someone, I think: well I don't really know how people have influenced the world- it's a weird loop

To be honest, I don't think I can! Writing is an extremely personal process. The way I write is directly related to how I process things, what I find important in stories, years of my own analysis of my and other's writing, etc... The way you write will be unique to you, as well. But I can explain how I personally think of it.

The short answer:

Write. Write anything and everything, it's a tool to explore your ideas. Analyze your own writing, and write more. Then, as you discover which ideas you want to develop, write more to explore them more. You won't know what you want otherwise!

The long answer:

I think this kind of loop is common. It's easy to feel like everything needs to be done "at once," because our job as writers is to make elements logically fit with each other for our readers. But as you've discovered, developing multiple elements simultaneously isn't really possible, or at least is extremely difficult.

Personally, when I think of writing, I break it into three major elements; characters, world, and plot. As much as possible every scene explores one or more of these, and as much as possible these three things tie back into what I personally consider most important: theme.

Everything I do is in service of the themes I want to present. Without them my events feel aimless. It can take a while to discover them, but they're the core of my work. You will have to discover what you feel is the core of yours. Analyzing other media helps with this too.

Concepts in your brain exist in a state of infinite potential. But when you start writing you have to start making choices, which removes potential as you move forward... But you have to move forward anyways. If there's ideas you want to explore later, you can always explore them later.

What this ends up meaning, to answer your question, is that I don't think of my characters as "people in my brain" or my worlds as something people have influenced... Not at their core, at least. They are tools that I use to represent specific ideas. Obviously they're also my blorbos, but mostly they're serving a specific narrative purpose.

So above all else... Write. Write, and discover what you're writing about, and then start over and write with that in mind. Keep doing this. But you have to write!

i am still not over the fact arlecchino is referred to as "father" by the house of the hearth kids btw. the gender of it all
