hey this is chance and here’s week 4’s prompt. how do strangers within the world view your protagonists? how would they describe them? and how does this contrast against how the protagonist views themself?

Okay so all main 5!

Sziliana to a stranger on the street she is probably nothing short of intimidating, She is the kind of person, that when you see on the sidewalk you cross the road just to avoid her. To a random girl at the club she is probably another fuckboy, but with some weird charm to her. Szili on her own, first and foremost, loves herself. She's convinced she is very attractive. Very assured of her physical strengh. She is also aware that she is not the smartest one there, but she doesn't let it bring her down!

Scisor on first glance he is very friend-shaped most of the time and seems very approachable. Just someone people feel comfortable around in an instant. Scisor doesn't really think about himself too often, as he is focused on other people. Even tho he doesn't show it, he wishes to get more assertive since he knows that being a people pleaser won't take him far. Deep down inside he knows his worth, knows how smart, creative and determined he is. He just forgets about it sometimes.

Marcel seems like a snooty, but overall cute and fragile kitty with a really good fashion sense, very friendly and likes to be flirted with. And while the fashion sense is true the rest is quite... different. Marcel is a cunt and he is well aware of that. He likes the way he is, knows his worth, both physical and brain-wise but will act otherwise if it's convinient. Generally very self assured person, that has his needs on the first place. He likes when people flirt with him, true, but will ditch them if he gets bored.

Yajone is not really viewed by strangers, simply because he doesn't live his place too often. Even if he does he just does it so quickly and imperceptibly that no-on even notices. Yajone doesn't have the best self-esteem. He thinks he is never enough and even tho he technicaly knows how impressive things he does are, he always feels that he could do better than this. He is very harsh to himself.

Ivo is just plain unapprochable. He may be quiet, but just looks hostile so it's better to avoid him and just not talk to him, because he will give you the most disgusted look ever. Ivo has a bit of a tough relationship with himself. His depression surely isn't helping. He may even be as hostile to himself as he is to other people, but in the same time he just doesn't care. On one hand he is fine with his skills and looks and on the other he just wishes to stop existing so baddly. He doesn't even want to be better or anything, he just wants to vanish.

//wow, this took me several days to write, I dunno why i struggled to baddly lol. Glad i did it and thanks for the ask!

[fall-shorter]

Aaaaa let's go!! I feel with only doing to coffee thing, because I said so.

With Szili we have two options, that are dependent on gender of the barista. If it was a guy. Murder. How dares he, doesn't he know who was this order for?! He has a fucking problem or what? Yea, he seems like he didn't get a fist to the face in a while, huh??? If it was a lady thooo... I can exactly see Szili leaning on the counter with all the rizz and the most punchable smirk you can imagine and going "Hey sugarplum, Ya kno, that's not really wha I asked for, Could appreciate some recompensation in a form of... I dunno, yer number? *#fuckboy chuckle* If not then a redo would be nice~" If she gets the number then cool, if not, well, worth a shot.

Scisor would just drink it. If someone would ask him why is he drinking it if it's not correct he would just go with the "nah it's fine. It is what it is uwu"

Marcel would be the only sane person here and would actually just go up to the counter and ask for a redo. Like sure, mistakes happen, whatever, no big deal, just mildly annoying, but kay...

Yajone would look at that order, not even having to try it to know it's not what he wanted, he would just looked at it in silence, knowing full on that there is no way for him to communicate that this is not what he wanted. His flat face slowly filling with regret over his whole life. How did he get to this place? Why him? Why is it always him? What did he do to deserve that? He won't even drink it, he will have to throw it away now. All he can do is take the cup he paid for and throw it right into the trash with a blank face. He would want to say "it's okay, that happens" but he knows fully that it's not okay. Nothing about this is okay. His life is a disaster. He is not angry, just... Disappointed.

Ivo here, well, normally he doesn't give any fucks about things, but this... This is coffee we are talking about. He spent like a minute. A WHOLE MINUTE, WASTED SO MUCH ENERGY, to explain what does he want, and this guy here, THIS FUCKING LAD THERE, THEY FUCKED IT UP. If it didn't take so much energy to do it, he would make a scene, maybe, but it's so bothersome. So once he makes the most annoyed sigh a (not)human being can make, he calmly, but firmly sets the cup on the counter, gives the barista the most deadly and sharp look, with his brows casting an oddly dark shadow over his eyes, perhaps not even intentionally, he just always looks angry like that. And with the most collected, yet terrifying voice he explains, that this is not his order and that he wants another one. Even tho Ivo never said it or even hinted at it, the barista can feel that if they doesn't fix it ASAP they will end up in a garbage bag this night.

...Wow this took way more text than I thought it would, WELL, ANYWAYS, THANKS FOR READING!!!

A confession:

Most 'character development' help posts do nothing for me. Nada. Zilch.

This is not a denunciation of such posts - they evidently work for a lot of folks! But if I see questions like 'what is your character's favourite colour?' or 'what is your character's biggest fear?' I am clicking away.

Obviously, working this sort of thing out is important! These details add fun little quirks to your character, or shine a light on their backstory. But when I'm developing a complementary cast of characters, with a smorgasbord of unique and interesting personalities...

I just put them in situations.

I call this the fanfic approach, as it basically amounts to writing mini fics about how your characters would react to a variety of stressors. For instance: let's start with a simple scenario with a potential for conflict!

A barista gets the character's coffee order wrong. Like, horrifically wrong. They create an unholy abomination of syrup shots and espresso that probably tastes of cough syrup, and hand it to your character, straight-faced. How does the character react?

Working with the cast of No Man's Sky...

Mavrik would shrug and chug the coffee anyway. She's drunk worse; she ain't bothered. No point causing a fuss.

Vox would threaten to kill the barista and their entire family, in graphic detail, until they were escorted out of the coffee shop and banned for life.

Oleander would smile politely, engage the barista in small talk, show genuine interest in their hopes and dreams, then proceed to make such a pleasant yet insistent song-and-dance about how this was not their order that the barista would apologise profusely, remake his drink, and offer him complimentary free croissants for the rest of the year.

Jagura would drink the coffee-trocity without noticing the error.

Renzou would apologise to the barista.

As you can see, we have five distinct, diverging reactions - and thus, five unique characters! I like to repeat this exercise with three-ish prompts of varying intensity. Here's some ideas, if anyone wants to play along:

Your character is waiting for a train. It's running late, but only by five minutes. However, they are hoping to catch a connection at the next station, and this will reduce their transfer time by half.

Your character finds a box full of sickly kittens, abandoned in a rainy street. There are far too many for your character to adopt and look after alone.

Your character walks into a room where there is most definitely not supposed to be a dead body. There... is a dead body.

You get the idea! Your characters don't always have to react in a unique way to every scenario, but there should be some individual flavour to their actions, whatever they may be.

Go forth and put those little guys in situations and scenarios! And pretty please feel free to reblog and let me know how your cast would react!

[re-discover-communication]

Just read your fic “Woodwork” and fell absolutely in love with your writing. Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing it! It was a beautiful story that ranks up there with some of the best Joshler fics. I can’t wait to read the rest of your fics later.

I have to ask, are you planning anymore fics?

Thank you so so much for your words💛 I'm just so happy you guys are liking it so much. It's gonna take me some time to wrap my head around the sudden explosion of love it's getting now...

And yes! I'm working on the last chapter of Suspirium and another long oneshot at the same time (it's reached 13k already) and after that one I have another fic to write, and after this third one I have to choose among the too many I have in my head... Had to make a note for myself not to forget any of them by mistake. But in general, I can't see a moment in the future when I've run out of stories to write. I work on them every day, one or two at a time, and when I finish one I immediately start another the following day. Because a day I don't write is a day wasted and I don't want to skip even a single one because I'm terrified of losing the habit.

So, yeah. I'll always be working on something.

[starswallowingsea]

Suguru Geto is a fucking eugenicist and I'm tired of people just brushing that aside to make silly gay fanart of him: an essay.

Hi hello JJK tag I have come to drop one singular essay to you and I do hope you'll at least listen, since it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

Before we get into the meat and potatoes of this essay, lets first define eugenics and why it's bad. Strictly speaking, eugenics is the movement for "racial purity" that requires the planned reproduction of people only within narrowly defined racial categories, as well as the elimination of undesirables within a population (oftentimes people of color, disabled people, and queer people) via sterilization or death. The movement began in the late 19th century and continues to some extent to this day. You can read more about it here if you're interested.

Eugenics goes hand in hand with other forms of bigotry and manifests in how people refer to each other, including some of the ways that Geto refers to non sorcerers within the manga, even before his death and subsequent possession of his body by a spirit. Geto refers to regular humans as "monkeys" and cleans himself in response to coming into contact with him. This sounds familiar, doesn't it?

This wording is very intentional on the part of Akutami and the translator. Geto is a villain and meant to be someone we see in disgust and while there are sympathetic villains in other series and I'm not going to say that you can never like villain characters (some of my own favorite characters are villains who have done fucked up things before), there is a difference between the two. Geto is specifically a representation of eugenicist, racist, xenophobic beliefs that exist in the real world. He is not someone who is fed up with the system, he is not someone who just wants to fuck around and find out.

This comment here further emphasizes my point. One of the core ideas behind scientific racism and eugenics is the idea of biological races or that people with different skin tones have different, distinct biological functions in their body. An example of this in our world involves GFR production and "race corrections" in kidney tests (source) that are only just starting to be phased out in the medical field. The idea of needing a race correction for something like kidney function is a product of scientific racism and indirectly plays into eugenics. Denying that people are the same race or even species as you because of uncontrollable factors (sorcerer abilities, skin color, country of origin, sexuality, gender, etc) is uh. Not a good thing!

"Monkeys" is a word that comes up frequently with Geto's talks on non sorcerers as well. It's a loaded term and again a deliberate choice on behalf of both Akutami and the translator to use it. Historically, due to scientific racism in the field of evolutionary science specifically, black people and people of color were assumed to be more closely related to monkeys and therefore "less evolved" than white people. It's a loaded word used with intention by Geto and by Akutami in the writing of Geto's character.

IN CONCLUSION can we please stop woobifying Geto as a character. His ideals and goals are an important part of him and watering him down to do gay shit with Gojo is really not what we should be doing with him in fan works. Yes Gojo's reaction to losing his friend to essentially the far right pipeline of eugenics and fascism is realistic and it's okay for Gojo to feel hurt and betrayed by this, but the reality is that Geto broke away because he believed so strongly that the world needed to be cleansed of non sorcerers and Gojo eventually accepted that he lost his friend, no matter how much it hurt to let go. This is an important part of Gojo's character arc and development but to ignore the everything about Geto's beliefs and never acknowledge them, or god forbid make JOKES about this stuff is a surefire way to make sure disabled people and people of color don't feel safe talking with you.

Notes:

I cannot stop you from shipping Satosugu or any other Geto ship. This essay was meant to inform people of the deeper meaning behind Geto's beliefs and maybe help some people see that real life issues are reflected in the media they consume. JJK is not a work that shies away from handling harder topics and this is no exception.

I will not be responding to any bad faith arguments on this post or in my inbox. If you have a genuine question feel free to come talk to me and I am willing to have a civil discussion with you about it, but calling me names or insulting me will be met with a block button so just save yourself the trouble and block me first.

90-Day Productivity Streak

17 Nov '23 - Day 58

With @stillreeloading

Revised through my upcoming test syllabus before I feel mentally prepared to write practice mock tests of the same nature.

I covered Biology today: starting with Excretory System and rereading neural and hormonal control mechanisms for GFR control. I revised the chapters of Locomotion, Circulation and Plant Kingdom.

Hope your day was good💛

So um... Sziliana again... BUT WITH A BED! :D

***

The room wasn't very big and didn't look occupied, the guy's family must have cleared it out already. The wall on the left - similar to the living room was just a big window with some dark curtains on the sides. The whole room was quite monochrome, with just few furniture: a rug in the center, a big drawer, wardrobe, a small, square screen that was connected to the AI assistant and showed some completely unimportant news and weather; and what was it's biggest selling point - a big, double bed in the middle of the room. Something that for Szili was absolutely crucial to have.

It's important to note that she was quite a big bird, however that would be a bit of an understatement. Not necessarily tall, since she was strictly six feet tall without her heels. It was her second parameter that caused trouble. Huge arms and buff chest making her look like a solid three-doored wardrobe. And of course a pair of big green wings on her back didn’t make her any smaller. Having them hanging down the bed was not only uncomfortable, it was also unhealthy for her kind. So in short: single beds were simply too small. Besides, unlike Ivo she was the one to have lots of… "guests" over, so obviously she needed a double bed to let them stay the night.

The room was great! She loved it dearly and could already imagine what decorations she would put here, to live things up. She approached the bed and fell on it, face front to the ceiling, then stretched, making her muscles and bones creek in a satisfying fashion. In just a few hours this bed will be unapologetically hers, for as long as she desires…

1, 2 for ITT and ITU, and 10 for all your fics!!

1. My favourite... diffused! Diffused is some of my best writing and I’m so proud of it rn <3 2. Hmmmm... for ITU... I don’t know really I don’t remember! Maybe Memories or Ultimate Weapon. for ITT... well... that scenes not out yet ;) 10.  ITU - I was writing this as SUF was coming out, so most of the time I was making guesses as to what Steven was going through. It still managed to stay pretty current, though! Proud of that. Also it was like... Top 3 in SU on ao3 for a while. ahh... those were the days. also ngl some parts of ITU are super cringe aughhhh but at least im learning! ITT - Most of the ideas for episodes came from pixel! also this was written FOREVER ago so it’s a bit rough in the first season but i promise season two is better Diffused - Wrote this back when Tats story was coming out I think... though I don’t actually remember GFRS - I most likely wrote it after seeing wayyy too many enemies to lovers of Gordon and Benrey that were like. three chapters. dear god buys its enemies to lovers it takes TIME. also! I hate slow burn! but apparently Im writing one Wild Manners - Link has ADHD its canon i said so  SB Story - I regret making that One Part so violent. Seriously dear god didn’t I outgrow my edgy phase? Tats Story - I’m glad my edginess of the time only seeped in a bit.  Heros Story - I deeply regret not releasing the chaps on dif days because it got ZERO attention it sucked lol Deconstructed - it needs more attention uwu More Than Just Acquaintances - first fic I ever wrote! I think I wrote it in middle school... im scared to go back and read it now

I am on a OC infodump roll, so let's go!

All my boys have their own places to go and relax too!

Sziliana is disturbingly extroverted, so when she needs to relax she usually goes to her favourite night club called El Dorado. If it's too early she would probably go somewhere to work out.

Scisor is the type to just go for a walk. He doesn't have any set places, he just likes to get lost, either on foot, or by a car.

Ivo has a place, there is this slightly damaged bridge that he likes to sit on and stare in the water, drinking booze and listening to the most edgy metal you can imagine. Sometimes Szili likes to hang out with him, if he doesn't mind being alone.

Yajone is always slightly uncomfortable, but I guess his favourite spot would be his workshop (so his home essentially). Whenever he is stressed he just goes back to working because that puts him at ease.

Marcel just sits at home, that's his favourite place to be. He lives alone in a small, cosy apartment, so it's an easy choice for him. Sometimes he will sit at the window, since he has a pretty nice view and just watch the cityscape with a nice cup of green tea or smth.\

2. Of course I've done it! I would say all my characters have a few traits of mine or even they are used to show traits I wish I had. Biggest examples would be how confident Sziliana is, or how chill Scisor is. Sometimes I use my characters to vent out my own problems, for example Yajone's autism, or how cynic and Marcel is (here tho I'm not sure whether I like it or not hah).

3. FOOD! They all have fav food, cause ofc! (actually not all of them are food, but weh)

Scisor loves canned sodas and strawberry flavoured stuff. Real strawberries themselves are cool, but he loves the shitty artificial taste of strawberries more, there is jst something special about it. His absolute fav is... well, strawberry flavoured soda he buys pretty often.

Ivo likes two things. Coffee and whiskey. Okay three - he also likes spicy food, it doesn't budge him one bit, no matter how spicy. With coffee he likes it in every form.

Marcel, first and foremost likes his food nicely presented. It has to look nice and only then he will eat it. He really likes sea food and japanese cuisine in general.

Yajone, if he doesn't forget to eat, he will eat pretty much anything as long as the texture is right. He won't eat anything slimey or jiggly. His comfort food is usually rabit's blood (vampires, am I right) Sziliana eats a lot, and is defineteley not a picky eater, will eat anything that will fit into her mouth. Particularly likes meat eggs and cheese, especially when combined. Also drinks lots of protein shakes. Let's say she is always bulking.

//Aaand that's that!

Wednesday Asks

Hello everyone! So sorry for the delay in sending out today's questions! Without further ado, here they are:

Where do your characters go when they want to escape/get away for a while to relax? Why do they go to this place specifically?

It's relatively common for writers to give aspects of themself to their characters or story. Have you done this? If not, why haven't you / what have you done to prevent this, if anything? If so, give an example (if you want to!)

What is your OC's favorite food? Why is this food their favorite? Do they eat it often or mostly as a treat?"

We interrupt…

Wow, just wow. I had intended to keep writing about the basics of chronic kidney disease today, but I just spoke with my nephrologist via FaceTime. That’s a call I had waited over a month to have, even though my GFR had dropped 20 points. I thought the drop constituted the need for an immediate callback from him, but he just didn’t have the time. He was overwhelmed with the hospitalized Covid…

//body horror (maybe?)

Taking off the disguise +Some demon lore

Demons have a true form that looks like this:

Their humanoid look is what is called a "Disguise". It's not there to hide or lie to anybody, despite the name. Demons put on disguises to protect others, because their real looks cause anybody who sees them to freak out. It's hard to determine what causes this sudden primal fear outbursts or even hallucinations. For a regular person it may be hard to determine how they actually look, because of immense hallucinations that occur.

Interesting fact to mention is that demons don’t really bleed. At least not in a conventional way. When injured (both in and out of disguise) their wounds fill up and “bleed” with foaming and thick, black mucus, looking similar to their true form’s skin. The mucus quickly solidifies forming a crust. That simply means demons can’t bleed out, since they have no blood to lose.

Disguise is an external shell and the true form is simply sitting under the disguise. When the disguise is damaged the inside is visible. While the damage to the disguise hurts the demon, it cannot be lethal. What’s also particularly gruesome and painful to the demon is removing the disguise to showcase their true form. As stated before, the true form is hiding underneath the disguise, so to take it off the demon has to simply rip it off.

Hell yea, a worldbuilding question batch! Let's get into The Other Earth worldbuilding a bit then!

Yes, it does have a "religion" of sorts, but it doesn't give any moral code or rules, it's solly based on worshiping the gods so they bless you and not start an apocalypse. Gods are also nor good nor evil, they just watch mortals for fun. The religion is not an important part of the story, well, maybe besides Ivo who was raised in a orphanage full of monks, and he is not a big fun of gods cause of that.

2. That depends. There is a lot of very weird animals one may keep in TOE, but speaking from the Earth perspective, I think it could be a dinosaur, esspecially a carnivourous one. They natively live in hell and are a bitch to catch, so getting one surely is rare and expensive. A bit of a show-off if you ask me. It's way better to just get yourself a Beakless bird or a Pollen panda. They are also exotic and won't bite your face off.

3. Main setting is the town of Morkland in Norway. It's a perfect location since the story is about gangsters and the town is full of low-lives, evil corporations and scumbags. Not sure what would happen if I picked a different spot. If I had to, I would most likely put it somewhere in America, where crime rates are high, but I like the contrast between Norway being such a peacefull country in general and having this one dark and scary furuncle on it. Almost as if they pushed all of the criminals in one isolated space, so they don't bother people anymore. Like a purgatory.

Tuesday Asks

Aaaand we're back! Asks are sending again, so expect a return to the normal system this week :D

Here are the questions for today:

*Note for #1: Being pushy / forceful and generally intolerant of others' beliefs, inclusions, and practices will not be tolerated. If any discussion happens to arise, please keep things civil.

Does your world have a predominant culture or religion in it? What role does it play in the story? What would be different if you made the opposite choice?

What is the most unusual pet a person living in your world can own? If it's not a real life pet / animal, what makes it appealing as a pet to your characters?

What is the main setting of your story? Why did you choose this location and how would the story be different if it took place somewhere else?

Hi! this is not a request of fic or something like that. Long time ago I used to write for this fandom in spanish and I want to come back because honestly, why not, so... Is there anyone who can do the beta job to fics? I have a few gadge fics that I want to translate to english, but I'm not good so I would like to now if someone can read it and correct it :D

Thanks for writing (to us, and also for writing Gadge) :D 

Putting this to the greater Gadge community:

Let us know if you’re happy to beta:

fics translated from Spanish to English

fics in Spanish

fics in other languages (while we’re at it)

Or if you know another Gadge/THG fan who fits the bill. 

(Feel free to message @anotherdayblue​​​ directly in the case of #1, especially if you’re a fan of their work!)
