#have to get up at 6am tomorrow

[changingplumbob]

Night time ramble time. What did I do today? Can't remember. No wait, ordered groceries. I woke up very tired but over the day that went away a bit and I was actually able to write a couple of parts for the Knightstones, I'll need to play with them before I can write anymore.

Also got a part sorted for Glenn, the intro of Henri. Officially on countdown for you meeting the twins as they'll be in his next post, I'm excited. I've got maybe one more part worth of screenshots and am thinking about which coven members we'll meet in game next. Plus I mean brainstorming how to slide in Silver since he's going to be very important.

I have a few Struck By Love posts I need to draft but golly, I'm terrible at cutting down on the cute. I apologize that the pace is much slower than I expected but in my defense I didn't expect Byron to be so cute. Oh that reminds me last night I had a nightmare that like 4 of my moots named baby sims Byron and I had a panic because I already have trouble keeping on top of all the sims called Atlas that appear on my dash, as well as several blonde sims that my face blindness has convinced me are the same sim.

Paratober day #9: Freedom.

Last one is rushed. I still like it. Two different types of freedom. Neither are ever good.

One is fleeting, forced and slips right through your fingertips. The other is lonely. Daunting.

Loneliness is a type of freedom. Stanley wants freedom from the Narrator. In a sense, the skip button gave him that freedom he craved. You'd think he got what he wanted. But this wasn't the type of freedom he wanted.

my autistic ass when i would try to explain to my non-autistic writer friends how my ocs don’t just feel like characters/plot devices/narrative tools, they feel like fully fledged people that just live inside my brain who i just have access to for some reason and the stories i write are merely a snapshot into their fully fledged personhood/lives. and that that these feelings don’t mean i’m unaware of my role/agency/responsibility as the writer who has the final say in these characters and how they are written it just means that my writing process feels very intuitive and i can only describe it as “listening” and “getting to know” these people that just live inside my brain in a way that i don’t feel like i can completely elaborate on. and because of this i would actually consider these characters “real” in their own way because the impact and influence they have had on me as a person beyond just my writing is so real and not having them would feel like i’m missing a part of myself

I start my new job tomorrow!! I've spent most of my working life in food service, which I honestly don't mind, but I've been wanting to do something more, and I'm now Marketing at an art center!! I get to be creative, I get a set schedule, I get better pay and hopefully more respect. Most recently I worked at McDonald's, so this is a big change!! But omg I'm so excited

That feeling when it’s 10:30pm on Friday night and you’re already in bed instead of writing… I’m getting old, aren’t I?

it's late and im tired but my brother asked for tabletop advice so here, I'll just copy +paste it for you folks too.

DMing:

nudging rules is fine as a dm if it serves the story more strongly. better to leave the players wanting more and recounting an epic moment than "oh yeah the numbers didn't go your way so, TPK."

(supplemental: Party Kills can be great if done well. I recommend, if you really want to make players squirm in any game, pick them off one by one, and let some of them truly hope they'll survive. If they catch on that they're destined to die too soon (repetitive pattern of deaths etc), it might fall flat. Let them have small wins, find useful items, crawl their way up just enough to breathe a breath of fresh air...then hook em with the twist of their mortal end. Make it satisfying!)

Visualizing/designing a character, particularly as a player but this can work for NPCs and non-tabletop guys as well:

1. consider the class/background of your character. Where are they from? What do they do most of the time? What are they skilled at? These things inform what tools they carry and what they wear. What they find practical, and how willing they are to favor either practicality or fashion, etc.

2. consider the personality. how do they express themselves, if at all? Do they have colors they like? Sensibilities that remind them of home or someone they love, a patron, a creature? If your character grew up raising birds for example, maybe they wear feathers! Maybe they own a falconeer's glove. stuff like that

3. consider the character's goal(s). what do they Want, what are they Working towards, what is their Mission? maybe they might have a visual tell for that, like a curse they're wanting to get rid of or a weapon they're wielding that's meant to be delivered somewhere
