When I’m struggling with writing a chapter, I first break it down into scenes.
If that’s not enough, I then break it down into beats.
If that’s still hard, I break it down into paragraphs.
And if I’m still really struggling, I just try to at least figure out the next sentence. Like just one sentence, I can do that, can’t I???
And the answer is always yes, I can! And then often the next sentence or two tumbles out as well.
And then sometimes I’m done for the day but other times I’m able to keep going for a few hundred or even thousand words.
Yup, that’s how I write.

Loved seeing your thought on music the eds would listen to! Any ideas for what music tastes they might have in common?
awwww lasagna that means so much coming from the playlist goat 🐐that's a good question. i've definitely thought about it once or twice.
i love @fish-bowl-2's headcanon about edd being extremely out of the loop when it comes to music/pop culture, so i do imagine he gets a lot of his taste from eddy's recommendations. (and eddy's taste was formed by albums he found around the house, especially in his brother's room. but that's besides the point.) anyway for some gay reason, massive attack is what i picture edd and eddy enjoying together. blue lines is more eddy's taste while mezzanine is right up edd's alley - the house m.d. theme song is on there after all.
eddy song
edd song
oh and machine girl
eddy song
edd song
despite his living under a rock music wise, i do think edd would songs from many genres and nods along to most stuff eddy plays. some day i'll get around to making an eddeddy playlist and this'll be the first song
i don't even know if i'm joking at this point i'm so unwell
ed and eddy... i loved the scene you wrote in LMS when they listen to fuckin gettin jiggy wit it lmao. that pretty much sums up what i picture them listening to together: cheeky, high energy 90s music.
when eddy's having his nu metal moment i can see them going feral to limp bizkit together.
and cypress hill
ed and edd are listening to video game OSTs together
edd can zone out to the beautiful ambient music and ed likes being reminded of games he likes lol
when they have sleepovers as kids i picture all 3 eds listening to the crazy frog album (even though it came out in 2005, i don't care it is edscore)

My only irl friends are Alex, my sister’s ex that I inherited when she died, who is moving out of state at the end of the month, a panhandler (that’s the word she uses but idk if that’s rude?) named Sheba who has to be 50 who’s going to jail tomorrow, and an old Syrian refugee who has to be in her 60s that can’t speak hardly any English but we have coffee at her apartment and she’s so sweet I love her. We do not know each other’s names.
I can only really make friends with older people idk why but now 2 of my 3 friends are leaving.
anyway that’s my life update.

Chloe in Ep 135 Pokemon! I’m Glad I Met You
So...
Maybe, maybe, Chloe's projecting a bit in the episode. By this I mean she is sorta putting her feelings about Goh onto his reaction to/feelings about Ash in this episode. So let’s talk about how Chloe reacts in this episode.
Here’s Chloe’s reaction when first spotting Goh in Cerise Park, she’s genuinely excited and happy to see her good friend Goh, back after being gone for a while:
However this is her reaction hearing him say he was going on a journey. She immediately backs up and ducks down.
She's surprised and instead of approaching she hides, just like how she might be hiding her feelings.
When they actually do discuss his thoughts on going on a journey, she doesn't seem exactly excited to know Goh is planning on leaving. Like I could argue she looks a little strained.
She just found out Goh is considering leaving on a long term journey and the main reason he hasn’t fully decided yet is because of his friendship with Ash. He didn’t even ask her what she thinks, and didn’t seem to be planning on it either.
Later, she's nearly just as surprised as Goh to hear Ash has already decided to leave, and yes this is mainly because she already knows Goh's feelings and thoughts on the two separating. But still. (Though I also think it could be partially influenced by the thought they are both planning on leaving her behind.)
When Goh rushes off, Chloe actually gets up faster than Cinderace.
But ultimately she decides against going immediately after him, opting to stop and talk to Ash first, to sorta give him an idea of how Goh's feeling. Because she gets it.
She shares what Goh said then draws a conclusion herself. She's likely writing herself off because she doesn't fully feel as important to Goh as he is to her. And it's been like that for her growing up, she's used to it. She gets the pain of your friend making decisions and heading off without taking you in account.
Just earlier that day Goh didn’t say he felt like he was betraying his friendship to Chloe by leaving, he said he felt like he was betraying his friendship to Ash. Literally in episode 2 she's gone out of her way to bring him his homework because she knows he's going to her dad's lab, but instead of checking in with her, he just texts her, after already being late, 'sorry gonna be late, about to have a fateful encounter' not really taking in account her feelings before making a decision, either time.
Just as it currently seems Ash didn't take Goh’s feelings into account before making his decision.
But more on her writing herself off, when making this decision that she's not Goh's first friend, there is like some bit of hesitance before heading off, I feel like.
We don't see her face, they hide it from us. It’s not done in away that’s awkward or makes you on a normal watch stop and question why we don’t see her face as Chloe’s feelings are not the focus here, but I think it also supports this idea that she's, in a way, hiding. She couldn’t look directly at Ash as she finished that statement because she, as I’m sure all, if not most, of us were, was likely thinking, “What about her?”
As a matter of fact, in a sense she's hidden a couple of times this episode. There obviously was her hiding when Goh was talking about possibly going on a journey, but then this too is sorta hiding, as she’s there but she’s away from them, out of sight. She sees them but they aren’t at all aware she’s even there.
Also, I think it's possible part of her writing herself off is her feeling as though she wasn't like a friend-friend to him.
Like she didn't share his interests or excitements for a good chunk of their lives but when Ash showed up he immediately shared Goh's excitement & interests. They were attached at the hip.
In some ways, that could feel like she wasn't good enough since Goh contacted her but not frequently or anything. While he doesn't separate from Ash at all really.
But in other ways, it could feel like a failure on her end. Like she didn't do enough for him. And while really there’s not much she could’ve done, she still could feel bad about it. That’s all really just speculation though.
Either way we know that Goh’s often doing his own thing. He didn’t typically invite her to hang out with him or anything during their time spent growing up. She was essentially left behind.
Then in the end of the episode she's still left behind by them. Just as they were discussing doing during the episode. She’s used to being sorta left behind and not really taken into account, (even sorta by her family recalling the episode she met Dawn since she went by herself because despite the family having planned a vacation they all made other plans, disregarding their plans with her and her feelings and she had no one to hang out with). And I just imagine it still hurts even if she’s used to it and hiding the fact that she’s hurt.
I don’t know how exactly to conclude this thought but I think there's still potential for her relationship with each of them to grow. Especially with Goh if I’m being honest, as I don’t think they’ve sat down and talked about what happened with their relationship.
