Waittt, what did you mean with your last post?? I don't want to spoil myself so I'm waiting for the nightmare before christmas event to arrive on the eng server before diving deep into the wiki. But I HAVE to know; were there hints of Lilia joining in for a rerun or a sequel ??? Your big "OR IS IT???" filled me with way too much hope !! please tell me it wasn't a bit : (

there was a little teaser at the end that implied there'll be a sequel event, though we don't really know anything beyond that! I do think it's likely we'll get the other half of the cast in it, even if it's just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞🤞 NIGHTMARE SUITS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

as far as I know there's been no confirmation on whether it's going to be next year's Halloween event or a separate thing (the snow makes me think it'll be more Christmas-themed, or otherwise more related to the plot of the original movie) so. we're probably going to have to wait quite a while before we find out anything solid. :') they really do love just dropping these things on us and then watching us go absolutely wild with speculation while they watch like

#joseimuke games are serious business #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with nightmare before christmas #hajimari no halloween #me the second i saw the question mark at the end: ahhhh so that's why lilia couldn't be in it #(nods sagely) they were saving him for the second one. yes. of course.#to get more into event spoilers though (so stop reading here if you're avoiding them for now!)#this does explain some things i was wondering about!#like the stitch event didn't follow the movie at all so i wasn't really surprised that this didn't either #but i WAS surprised that oogie wasn't so much as mentioned #if he's also being saved for the second part then that makes a lot more sense #though i am sorry that jamil won't get to meet the man made of bugs 😔#however i am very excited for lilia and floyd to wreak chaos across not one but two holidays!#half the characters: now hold on can we talk about this before --#lilia and floyd: (already shoving santa into a bag) KIDNAP THE SANDY CLAWS #i guess the real question is...if this is for next halloween are we gonna get an oogie boy to go along with it #how many handsome animes can they squeeze out of this franchise? more than you'd expect #wait so does this mean the rhythmic being essentially the opening to the movie was like...foreshadowing or something #or am i overthinking it as per usual #(eng i am praying for you that this rhythmic won't get eaten by the music licensing monsters and replaced with some generic instrumental)#(it is SO cute i love it SO much)

I need Tattoo and Aran to put together those beautiful brains of their and create something that's both extremely cool and useful and extremely pretty and stylish. then they can sell it and become rich. together.

#jack and joker #jack & joker #jack and joker: u steal my heart #jack & joker: u steal my heart!#tattoo x aran #their whole conversation last episode was a foreshadowing of this happening. right?#also the fact that everything started with Tattoo basically modifying the bag Aran designed!#like! everything points to this!!!!#(yes im like that meme of the crazy guy trying to explain something okay)#my posts

i think mostly we as a culture need to stop pretending media is for us and instead recognize that it's for the people making it. "the show didn't do the thing I wanted it to" is so not the point. did it do what the people making it wanted it to do? did it tell the story they were trying to tell? than it was successful. if that doesn't align with what you wanted to happen, don't get up in arms about it. don't badmouth the creators and throw a tantrum. that's what fan works are for. the text is the text, and it told the story it was telling. you wouldn't be like "ugh shakespeare is insane for act v btw like there was no reason for juliet to kill herself she should've just waited and then her and romeo could have been together wtf this ruined the whole play" like no!!! the themes were there the set-up was there the foreshadowing was there shakespeare did what he intended to. just because it wasn't a happy ending and just because you thought it should've went differently doesn't mean it was bad. read a fic where juliet lives and move on.

#this is about ghosts but honestly fandom in general #stop pretending the creators of things owe you certain story lines. they're making it not you #i explained it like this to my sister:#imagine you're reading a book and there are sort of hints and scenes that you take to interpret a character as gay #you cite quotes and talk about the themes and the impact of your interpretation #and then at the end of the book the character comes out as asexual.#and then a lot of those scenes and quotes that you were using as evidence for your interpretation-#now they could be construed to have been pointing towards them being ace all along #just because it wasnt the end you fabricated in your head based on your understanding of the hints #doesn't mean it wasnt always the writers plan from the beginning.#AND it doesnt mean you can't keep imagining a world where they're gay instead #it just means that the writer was leaving those clues to point you towards the ending #and you interpreted the clues differently #bbc ghosts #ghosts spoilers #bc like. if last resort was the ending #you could 'read' the whole series with the understanding that they weren't going to leave the house #and the foreshadowing would add up #but now with the special. you can go back and 'read' the series with the understanding that they leave #and it still all adds up. the foreshadowing was there it just meant something different than you thought.#stories have beginnings middles and ends #you predetermined the ending while still in the middle and got mad when you weren't right.#does that make sense?

Drawing a scene from each 3ds game mission (3/30)

[first] [next]

#saiki kuusuke #saiki kusuke #saiki kusuo #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k.#my art #i think i should explain the context #so in this game you can just blow up cars #even when any other character is looking at you or is following you #in a better thought-out game that would not be possible #or it could be a foreshadowing that this is some sort of fake reality #but here it's just this strange feature that's only necessary in 2 missions #(the gp in this game is Bad)#my hand started hurting today ouch

god tywin lannister deserved worse

just remembering elias death and i wanna puke and the way tywin talks about elia and what happened is so damn gross

but rip tommen and myrcella we all know what’s about to happen in the next book :/

the cycle of violence just keeps spinning and damn you tywin for beginning it

(i got a bit crazy in the tags 💀)

#rest in peace elia and rhaenys #i’m one of those crazy ppl who thinks jaqen h’ghar is aegon 💀#literally lost the teeny tiny amount of credibility i had #anyways i think doran’s in on it and i think rhaegar switched out asharas child for aegon paralleling the baby swap jon does #the pact made in braavos about viserys and dany marriages is a half truth half lie #and arianne being sent to faegon is simply doran testing his heir. if she messes up then whoever’s spying for doran will correct her #gerold dayne knows too much that’s why doran thinks he’s too dangerous #but this would make the dornish plot sooooo much more interesting and would show that no doran hasn’t been doing nothing #it would also automatically make the daynes more important #jaqen (aegon) was in kings landing to kill robert but got caught by varys. syrio was sent to find him. ned cleared out the black cells tho #saving aegon in the process. fun how we’re actually introduced to this character through lyanna starks mini me arya #aegon was able to kill robert with a boar tho so mission accomplished.#now he’s in old town trying to hatch his dragon egg. the stone beast taking flight in danys vision is aegon being symbolically depicted…#..as a spinx #i’m crazy delusional. but ppl who think faegon is actually aegon are even more delusional than me #plus the real aegon being alive fulfills the suns son part of quaithes warnings #i like this theory bc it makes the dorne plot more interesting and it explains whatever is going on with jaqen h’ghar cause he is sus #yes yes i know i’m delusional 💀 i just think it’d be a very interesting twist #kinda hoping no one sees this post at this point bc i know no one will take this theory well lol #i do think this theory can be supported by the text tho #and cerseis throw away line about ned stealing asharas baby would suddenly become peak foreshadowing #barristan comparign dany to ashara would also be peak foreshadowing bc ashara would take the place of gilly in this parallel and she was dis #dishonored by someone at harrenhall. likely aerys and then she turned to a stark probably brandon for comfort #tbh i think it was ashara who lied to brandon about what happened to lyanna. perhaps she was trying to mess with brandon’s wedding and #was trying to get back at rhaegar for humiliating elia at the tourney. i highly doubt it was baelish who lied to brandon cause brandon #has little reason to believe him and no reason to trust him. ashara tho? arthur daynes sister and elias lady in waiting? also his lover?#anyways varys the spider potentially stealing aegon away (if he did take a child it was the false aegon) is there to parallel the others #who ride ice spiders taking crasters sons. tbh i think it was aegon who decided he wanted to train as a faceless man so he could get revenge #on his own terms. and the sea lord of braavos at the time was in on it and helped aegon with his plans #the unveiling coming up is going to be a lot more important than arya just reclaiming her identity. yes im delusional lmao. rant over

yeah this one is peak Pjo chaos and I’m here for it

#I’m just picturing Percy trying to explain why he needs the gods to go back and get Sally #despite already being given a way to save her #my dog ate my homework #sorry #percy jackson spoilers #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo hoo toa #riordanverse #percy jackson tv series #pjo fandom #pjo spoilers #percy pjo #sally jackson #combined with her foreshadowing in the car with Percy #this show really knows how to break my heart in all the right ways

(Oc lore posting coming up!)

I will admit that October wasn’t as… fun in my original world. I mean, creatures played games and looked for candy, but it’s also when some scarier creatures come out to play.

It might be ghost-like creatures, wolf-like creatures, but the worst were the Garra wardens, incarnations of the harbinger of death.

They are herbivorous, so they probably weren’t looking for you to eat, but what made them “the worst” in my opinion, is the virus that they always carry, which, although it has no name, I called it “Morsitis”

It’s like a cold at first. Coughing, fevers, and a runny nose. It doesn’t seem bad at this stage, but that’s until the internal bleeding starts due to the virus preventing blood clots from forming. If a creature isn’t treated, they can quickly die from the bleeding.

I heard that the virus killed Raven’s father, and I don’t want to be the next victim down the line… though since I’m on earth, I think I should be safe… for now…

#rp stuff #Wow. I was kinda just sparked with inspiration and possible foreshadowing!#Also if you want to know who Raven is #Shine might explain later

I'll say here and now that Lan Xichen or Wei Wuxian hold no resentment for Lan Wangji in any capacity for any of his actions or actively seek to hate him for something he is not culpable or responsible for.

#mdzs #mo dao zu shi #wei wuxuan #lan xichen #it's laughable to imply otherwise #these men will never lay blame on Lan Wangi for THEIR thoughts and choices #they actively protect HIS reputation because they believe he is the best of them all #and is the crux of Lan Xichen's protection and frustrations with Wei Wuxian #I won't bother entertaining something that isn't even foreshadowed or explained by the text as relevant

I actually find it really sad that people's response to missing some allusion in fiction is to say the story did a bad job of explaining it rather than to think "maybe I should read closer next time" or "maybe the target audience for this piece has some context that I don't and it's worth my time to gain some of that context before reading more stories like these". And I mean sad, not in a condescending way, but in an "it genuinely hurts my heart and I wish I could help" way.

#like sometimes stories *are* bad at explaining #but 99% of the time you'll see three people saying “the author never explained this!!”#just for someone a comment down to be like “I loved how well this was foreshadowed and how well it landed” like #I get this a lot in terms of beta/editorial feedback too #three beta readers will comment that they loved how well X was explored #meanwhile an editor will say “this was never addressed or touched on at all”#it's okay to miss things. i miss A LOT especially on a first go which is why i like to revisit things that are really complex #but the assumption that it's always *the work* that failed and never you as the reader makes it impossible for you to grow #you just go around hating everything you read instead of ever just growing the skill you need to have a better experience each time #and that means you'll never be able to enjoy stories that go beyond what you already know #or that are curated toward audiences who are differently educated or perceive information differently than you #and that's really sad to me #writing #reading #media analysis #media literacy #fiction

Some of the spoilers people are complaining about really is like, movie trailer level shit.

I literally do not understand spoiler culture.

#[x] Character is going to be there #Is not a spoiler #Your character's faction backstory isn't a spoiler #That you will be using the crossroads isn't a spoiler #The fucking character creator isn't a spoiler????#That Ghil'nain and Elgar'nan are the bad guys isn't a spoiler it was pay off to very clearly broadcasted foreshadowing #“You will see Solas' rebellion” is not a spoiler and I sure fuckin hope we would since it's part of the central narrative.#These are all explaining the basic premise of what we'll be doing and hasn't revealed any real information yet whatsoever #The only thing I would consider spoilers is the handful of videos featuring the first hour or so of gameplay #And that one article that just word for word described Bellara's recruitment lmao #And even then I don't feel like that first hour has actually revealed much of what the game is actually about yet.

3/10 chapter and those points are there just cause Nobara Kirara and Maki were in the chapter

#brother what are we talking about with all the simple domain stuff #was this like. foreshadowed or relevant at all #there are a ton of unanswered questions surrounding multiple characters and gege decided to spend a final chapter #on secret shadow society of a mid curse technique that was *checks notes* sucking the life force out of people who used it? for some reason?#if somebody understands why this was included genuinely explain it to me cause i really dont understand lmao #jjk #jjk leaks #jjk 269

FIRST DRAFT DEFEATED!!! its 54k words currently

#personal #canary continuity #i still need to lengthen/change some scenes #theres some long exposition in some scenes that should probably just be cut for like. the events #leading up to the important moment.#although i enjoy representing the overthinking/anxiety so i'll try to find a way to keep most of it #and a currently really important foreshadowing/thematic scene i want to make more subtle #originally there was going to be more than what i ended up with but most of the time when i complain about pacing its LITERALLY just me #also i need to cut some repetition that isnt intentional for the sake of showing the kind of. circular self-blame going on in d's head #because especially in the face of a psychotic break its intentional. but in some places i need to make things more abstract i feel #im kinda happy with most of the early scenes though. favorite to write was mikey... whats going on in your head little guy #i love the little unnerving ways it shows they are still actually CONSCIOUS beneath whats going on. like enough to resist it sometimes #itll get explained more deeply in the aftermath oneshot but thats why the change was slow and subtle #it was more an alteration of their thought processes/intrusive thoughts that slowly ate them alive #the progression felt normal for them #but notably raph actually is holding back the whole time and i think thats pretty interesting #and actually kind of horrifying LOL he couldve been so much nastier #anyways ill stop yapping now. youll see what i mean when im done #its a really powerful curse. i actually have a lot of ideas for the character responsible that explains why #and i even know the motive behind it. im still a little iffy about including her or making her a continuous threat but i Miiiight

doctor who is such a perfect rewatch show like i just watched the forest of the dead episode (s4 ep9) and river mentioned how he took her to singing towers and cried and i remembered that episode with twelve and just like. i didn’t even remember she said that when i saw that episode. not to mention literally the third episode of this season with the ood. the ood kept calling them “doctor, donna” “doctor, donna” “doctor donna” god once the foreshadowing hit me i was on the floor. i’m so stable rn.

#listen this is my first FULL rewatch since i first started the show like eight or so years ago #whyd this have to be one of my lifelong hyperfixations this is so mean #doctor who #tenth doctor #twelfth doctor #river song #donna noble #doctor donna #david tennant #peter capaldi #alex kingston #catherine tate #also i’m at work rn and closer by nine inch nails is playing on the speaker. i gotta be omw to hell or smthn #edit: yea ik the doctor brought up the ood and how they said the doctor donna but like. cmon #that still makes it foreshadowing it’s just foreshadowing that was explained!!
