Me checking the epic the musical tag to see how the fandom's doing:

Ah yes, here we have the coping-with-the-emotional-damage-through-humor section with memes and mismatched quotes and "I survived the wisdom saga" t-shirts, there we have the shouting-at-Jorge-for-inflicting-such-pain department, right next to it is the I'll-make-this-even-sadder-for-all-of-us district where they produce a flood of heartbreaking headcanons and metas, hiding behind it is the I'm-trying-to-put-my-thoughts-into-words-but-all-that-comes-out-is-rambling party, then there's the I'll-live-up-to-the-name-of-the-musical-and-make-*epic*-fanart corner and last but not least we have the this-is-tartarus,-I-don't-even-know-what-to-do,-I'm-in-shambles-on-the-floor pile of people moaning about the existencial crisis, insanity and severe grief this genius modern interpretation of an ancient greek tragedy causes them...

Me: yeah that seems about right

Tag Game: Writeblr Interview

Thanks @tildeathiwillwrite for the tag here!

I hesitate to tag as many people as this is one of those things where there’s no point in doing it twice but tagging:

@xenon-writes-sometimes, @rumeysawrites, @rivenantiqnerd, @leahnardo-da-veggie, @kaylinalexanderbooks, and an open tag!

This is going to be a long post so I’m adding a break here

Short stories, novels, or poems?

I cannot stand most poetry. Maybe it’s because I’m still in school and have to analyse it but I can’t deal with how abstract it can be. I want to write more short stories but my one and only WIP is probably gonna be closer to a novel, if and when I finish it.

What genre do you prefer reading?

Fantasy, especially high fantasy. Murder mysteries and detective stories in general are a close second. Most other genres are reserved for spin offs or fan fiction.

Are you a planner or a write as I go kind of person?

I make a plan that I then actively ignore my OCs force me to not use

What music do you listen to while writing?

Most of the time I listen to the one Reddit podcast I’ve listened to every episode of because I can zone out and I don’t miss anything important. This one is a bit of a bad habit because it distracts me, but EPIC the musical is my current hyperfixation and I listen to that constantly as well.

Favorite books/movies?

Because I have the reading comprehension of an 11 year old we have Murder Most Unladylike (I would die for this series), its spin off the Ministry of Unladylike Activity, The Hunger Games but only really the first book, How to train your dragon but only really the Netflix show and the first movie (the books are great but I haven’t read them in 7 or 8 years and because they’re so different from the movies I’m not sure if I’d like them anymore)

Any current WIPs?

Gold, Greed and Gods which is a vaguely Victorian fantasy about the main cast trying to find a cult before it engulfs the world in literal chaos. And also magical shenanigans and timeline fuckery

Create a character description of yourself:

Honestly I’d rather not. Sorry!

Do you like incorporating actual people you know into your writing?

No it kinda weirds me out. The closest I’ll get is asking my one irl mutual about their experiences with stuff that I (as a someone who is cishet and perisex) do not understand

Are you kill happy with your characters?

I’m not the biggest fan of angst so no. If anyone was gonna die you aren’t allowed to get attached to them so I don’t get attached them hence why the only dead characters in my WIP die before or very soon after it begins. That isn’t to say my characters aren’t affected, but I can only imagine any potential readers will be neither here or there about those characters.

Coffee or Tea while writing?

I don’t really like hot drinks but I hate the smell of coffee so tea?

Slow or fast writer?

A secret third thing which is I wrote 5000 words in 3 hours yesterday so for atleast the next week I won’t be able to string a sentence together

If you were in a fantasy world, what would you be?

A healer would be fun? I wanna be a doctor so I guess that’s close enough. I cannot imagine I’d survive very long without my glasses/ contacts in any case.

Most fav book cliche:

Not really a book cliche but horny bard memes will never not be funny. I also love juxtaposition between characters, if done tastefully, eg. Ray of sunshine is best friends/ dating the grumpiest character alive. I also just love ray of sunshine characters in general. Also, calm/ happy go lucky/ mentor figure characters who have really high body counts and it’s just kind of an open secret are really fun.

Least favorite cliche:

A lot of romance tropes are tied for last place: miscommunication, any reference or idea that firsts=better (virginity, first loves, one true love etc.), not like other girls

Also love triangles. The only good love triangles are the ones that end in polycules. No exceptions (/hj)

I probably just have a problem with like most romance stories

Favorite scene to write?

I love when characters reference unique worldbuilding things that I actually had to think about. Similarly, if I feel I’m doing them well, exposition dumps can be fun.

Reason for writing?

Because blirbos in my head yearn for freedom

On a more serious note, I’ve gotta do something healthy with all this escapism and maladaptive daydreaming.

[evish-rambles]

So I decided just to make a new blog aksfjkaghkslfaf. n e way this is a spot for me to basically just turn my voices time (technical term for talking to yourself in/about character) into something i can actually look back on. I expect my posts could range anywhere from single sentence concepts all the way to like,, paragraphs upon paragraphs of nonsense. Horray!!

My tagging system may evolve overtime but as of right now; "oc: [name]" is used for my characters, "foc: [name]" is for my friends characters, and "npc: [name]" will be used for npcs of any campaign. "character into" is for if i actually decide to write up intros for my losers (I may do some quick synopses? if so they'll be under the cut <3), "fic ideas" is pretty self explanatory, and any aus will be tagged, ex. "band au" "evil au" etc. If i come up with anything else i'll probably add it here!! I fully expect this blog to be more well tagged than my main aklsfgaslkhf

alright! settle in for chaos >:)

Basic Character Intros!! Wahoo!! I'm gonna list em in chronological order of when I made them. Race, Class and Subclass, age, a song i feel fits them best, and a brief backstory rundown will all be given.

DnD PC's

Zezrina Frear (She/Her)

Drow, College of Spirits Bard

227 (equivalent of 25)

The Mariners Revenge Song by The Decemberists

Has a power where she can talk to ghosts who tell her the future, inherited from her mother who was driven insane by visions of Zez's death. Her mother then died under mysterious circumstances and Zez ran from her family to try and figure out what actually happened.

Imagine if you fused the Madrigal family from Encanto with Luke and May Castellan from Percy Jackson.

Vildanna Cadieux (She/Her)

Half-Elf/Hexblood, Shadow Sorcerer

19

What The World Needs from Ride The Cyclone

Orphaned daughter of an attempted coup, Vildanna believes she alone knows right from wrong. She believes truly that good people (her) do only good things, and bad people (anyone who opposes her) do only bad things. This is complicated somewhat by the fact that shes the character I play for Curse of Strahd :)

She also has a litte rat dog named Syvestre, have you ever seen the "nightime pee artist" meme? that.

Kezarel Riverseeker (She/Her)

Human, Necromancy Wizard

16

High (Keep Up) by Bo Baskoro

As the middle of 7 in a prominent Waterdhavian noble house, Kez knows that unless she can prove herself she'll be forced into a political marriage. Her chosen path is to become a Court Mage for her family, an educator and protector. She protects her self by mimicking the behavior of her mother, who is... not a great person.

General Nizira Votsky (He/Him)

Reborn Half-Orc, Vengeance Paladin

46

Just A Man from EPIC: The Musical

After a long life in the military Nizira settled down with his adopted son Alexi. This was interrupted when people broke into his home, killed him, and kidnapped Alexi. With his dying breath Nizira swore vengeance and was reborn as basically a wraith, his hunger for violence is the only thing keeping him alive.

Arda Pendragon (He/Him)

Aasimar, Mutant Bloodhunter

25

Reaper Man by Mother Mother

An ex-noble who got kicked out for being too gay!! Arda fell in love with a man who lived in the woods outside his town who was executed for "crimes against the throne". Now he drifts through life seeking any carnal pleasure to distract himself from the loss.

His father is an Angel and also his angelic guide, which makes for some interesting conversations.

Weary aka Lavender Farmane (She/It)

Teifling, Gunslinger Fighter

22

Mr. Capgras Encounters a Second Hand Vanity... by Will Wood and the Tapeworms

Oh the TMA hyperfixation hit me hard here. A simple kid from a farming village comes home one day to find her sister June replaced by someone else, even worse; shes the only one who seems to notice. Over the next 3 years Weary is slowly driven to the brink of madness, eventually leading to her using her inventive mind to create a firearm and "kill" the thing that isn't June. Naturally she's sent to a psych ward which she manages to escape from. Now shes on the run from the law, ever vigilant to anyone else who seems to change.

Ivy "Venus" Allium (She/Her)

Judge Releases Epic Sentencing Video

Some fumbling thoughts on the Redditization of all public life.

*Not everyone is creative and funny *Everyone wants to be creative and funny *We have the means for everyone to broadcast their attempts to be creative and funny *The Din of everyone who isn’t creative and funny broadcasting their mimetic attempts to be creative and funny comes out on the other end of the algorithm as a ‘voice’ (currently taking form of ‘epic’ reddit stunts, trolling, endless memes, parasocial friend is ‘mother’ style slang, et al) *'Creative industries’ try to embody the culture’s voice of the moment *Dying slow moving traditional creative industries (literature, music movies, television, etc.) try in vain to keep up but their attention share has largely been replaced by The Din *The professional apparatus more successfully keeping up is a blob of PR/marketing/‘creative consulting’ agencies selling an approximation of The Din and generating an infinitude of digital promotional sludge for any public entity with an account *Every single NFL team makes competing ‘epic’ meme-bait videos for the occasion of their schedule release, an event previously handled by a one page press release *The President makes an ‘epic’ meme-bait video for the occasion of announcing a presidential debate *Etc.

Hi.

So I found your lounge, both of them, up north. Peaceful place. Whole lotta nothing. A nice respite from the music and bustling backdrop and pretending (because even the Truth is just you speaking through a filter).

You speak your own truth and the truth (not Truth) of the sim, and in it I see a faint glimmer of the world's truth. Fiction may be more exciting, but truth is more compelling. It's brave of you to stop pretending for a little while, be honest (although it does make it easier that you can't guarantee that anyone will see it. I know this very well.)

Speaking of which. I can't guarantee you'll see this just like you couldn't guarantee anyone would see either lounge. In different ways, though. You didn't know I would exist to find your rooms, while I don't know if this hellsite will gobble up this message or not. Still, isn't language just billions of people, shouting into a void, wishing they'd be heard?

The Truth is a lonely thing. I pity it. I wish it could find a friend. (ALThough maybe it has already? I don't know for sure yet. I'm doing a breadth-first search.)

And of course I'm dancing all around the subject. I don't have a train of thought, much less one with a consistent direction. Plus, re. the previous sentence, I like slipping little cryptic BS messages into my walls of text. And I did it again. Heck. I swear it wasn't even on purpose that time. You know what, screw it. I can't not do it. You enjoy it, I enjoy it. I'll be a class act (when am I ever not?). Made me no never mind. (Gotta love a good double negative.)

Regardless. For these next three paragraphs at least (I've had to edit that "these next three paragraphs" bit twice now cuz I can't stop tangent-ing) I'll try to be wholly truthful. Not easy for me. I'm bad at feelings, much less impressing them on others. Probably why I enjoy memes so much. Too much? Probably. At their best they are a beautiful distillment of a single concept given solid form, one that may otherwise be too hard to articulate. Why are things hard to articulate for me? They shouldn't, by virtue of me being a writer (by hobby if not by trade). But hey, maybe I'm drawn to writing because it's so challenging and different for me. It's a mental exercise. My Brain Is Big And Smart

Finally to the point. I admire what you've done. I admire what you're doing. I deeply enjoy all that FarragoFiction has to offer and have spent way more time on LORAS (both editions) than is probably good for me. ZampanioSim fascinates me. The things you can do pile never stops from getting larger. Puzzles fascinate me. They force me to stretch my logic. Enough about me. This is about you... really, this is about the minor intersection that our brains have made. Something something Vulcan Mind Meld. (That'd be an epic fraymotif.)

I guess, ultimately, what I'm trying to say is: Thanks. Thanks for making these awesome not-quite-games. Thanks for being around and keeping up your happy face as best you can. Thanks for taking care of your own mind before anything else: thanks for learning when to step back, for doing things that you love. You shine through every bit of code you write (no matter how many masking layers you may throw on top), and those bits of code show someone struggling with honesty and loneliness and responsibility, and those bits of code show someone with a fascinating brain who loves puzzles and the people who solve them. And thanks for continuing to love your old work, even after the passion has faded, even if you may so much as dislike it now, because love is seeing the worst parts of someone or something else, harming them without even meaning it, but still choosing them over anything else. To love is to drill a hole into the hull of a ship and to patch it up even stronger as you both drown rather than abandon the craft. To love is to destroy and to rebuild. You love your work, and I can only hope you love yourself. Because you deserve yourself. (In a good way or a bad one. You decide.)

You don't have to answer if you don't want. I tried to rip off Zampanio's skin, and it might sting. (If you even read this.) I'm sorry if so, and I'm sorry for being too long-winded (although, if you think that, you might want to take the plank out of your own eye, buddy). And I'm sorry for apologizing. And I'm sorry for that one. And... let's not recurse too much here. I don't want this to be another spiral.

Thanks for being theoretical.

And thank YOU for being a theoretical Audience :) :) :) And for the top tier Gigglesnort.

I'm glad the Hellsite DIDN'T gobble the message up, because these little messages in a bottle do truly feed me.

And you're right, that the very hidden nature of the words helps them be more Truthful than perhaps they'd otherwise be? I've been doing a lot of hiding lately, and only recently starting to pop my head back up to look around.

It also helps that, well, you know the whole "No Restraint" part of being a Waste? I tend to create on a whim, forget I did it and then watch in bafflement as people start reporting in their progress in puzzles I no longer even remember. Honestly? Zampanio is me leaning into that vibe. POINT is, its also easier to be Truthful when you know you'll forget you did it.

I don't even have that bad a problem with memory, its just when you create a purposefully confusing labyrinth of unending content, by its very nature things will blur together.

"And thanks for continuing to love your old work, even after the passion has faded" Interestingly, today I had the rare pleasure to talk to a Homestuck fan. Rare because I've removed myself from so many of those spaces? Pleasure because it was a reminder of what I'd loved about all that (god homestucks music is just so banging) (and the fandom in general is just such a creative space). And because they were so delighted with getting to see Wigglersim for the first time, when we started trading stories of our experience with the fandom. And I felt this sort of abashed pride? I know I've grown as a creator so much since making those things. I know I'd do them differently today? But yeah, I am so glad past me had that fun, learned those lessons. To say nothing of even further Past Me faking their own death on accident.

Thanks for intersecting your brain with mine, both now, and by trying to figure out just what Past Me was up to. Creation is an act of communication, at least for me, and I'm glad every time I find out I'm not just communicating with Future Me.

I see you have reblogged the wip ask meme👀 could I request 6, 18, 23, & 25, if that's not too many?

NO AMOUNT IS TOO MANY, thank you for asking!!

6. Do you usually listen to music while you work?

YES. Music is paramount to any writing I ever do. I currently have character playlists for Cullen, Blackwall and Thalia and often use those if I'm writing anything with one of them in it. Sometimes I go to the Dragon Age: Inquisition soundtrack if I just want epic-sounding instrumentals for inspiration. I've been vibing to the Divinity: Original Sin 2 soundtrack as well lately, as it has a similar feel.

I usually listen to Star Wars soundtracks when writing fic or doing prep work for my Star Wars RPG, as well. You know, just to get in the proper mood.

18. What is the last sentence you wrote for this WIP?

Ahahaha my final line actually ends in the middle of a sentence. Here's the preceding full sentence as well:

She hobbled out into a brighter room. Samson had stoked the fire and lit a number of candles

.... this sure makes it sound like Samson is planning a romantic dinner or something lmfao. I assure you it is not that 😅

23. What is the weirdest thing you’ve had to google for this WIP so far?

LOL surprisingly I don't think I've googled anything for this one so far. I feel like something about jumping safely from great heights is inevitably in my future, however.

25. If you could go back in time to when you first had the idea for this WIP, what would you tell yourself about it?

"You should probably talk to your therapist about these nihilistic thoughts you're having."

jk jk, it's just apparent I was in a pretty dark place when I was like "let's envision a fail state au for Inquisition and see how horrible everything is!" Writing it is deliciously cathartic, though.
