Do u think Bedwyr was heartbroken when he'd heard Cai died? When he had to bear Excalibur into the lake and watch as the Lady bore it aloft, up, up, up, down, down, down, until it sank back beneath the waves. Like think about it, his two best buds are dead, the two boys he'd always been lumped with, the two men who he'd grown alongside, the king and the seneschal perished in battle. The two men he'd loved the best.

(And said goodbye to the most.)

And him, left to wander the earth, nothing more than a monk, a hermit, a hollow echo of a distant, destroyed kingdom, crippled by grief and guilt.

In my heart of hearts, at the end of the session the snails seemed to disappear inside their shells with a little pop, and after curiosity got the better of the lifers, they lifted the shells up to reveal a pocket-sized, completely harmless version of their snails they could keep as friends

I wish I have more motivation and desire to move and work on all my shadowpuppet lil ideas and concepts like u but im just uselessly lying doing absolutely nothing not being able even to be inspired by you

like

u really inspiring, i promise u, u are, thats just me being unable to do anything

i really like u, u cool

Well, first and foremost, I'm flattered you think I'm inspiring and cool :DDD!!! All I really do is post silly doodles so, ha! Thank you!

On a more important note, if you have ideas (regardless if it is shadowpuppet related or not), I really do think it's worth taking the initiative to... Try? (insert strugglingnoises.sfx)

Maybe it's bold and out of my place to say, because I don't know who you are, but you can't rely on motivation and desire to do the things you want to do. You have to push yourself. Like, really hard. It's a struggle 😭. But trust me when I say it's worth it in the end.

Even if your ideas don't really go anywhere, or even if you make a start and leave the loose ends hanging (for an indefinite period of time) at least you would have, I don't know, done something? (more strugglingnoises.sfx). Like hey, if you look through my Tumblr, there's probably a handful of ideas I've sort of left behind to pick up dust. I might get back to them one day, but I'm happy I did at least something with it when the idea was still fresh in my brain, cause for me, if I leave an idea in my brain too long, it will never come out because I would have lost interest in doing something about it.

Side note: I reckon you can only grasp a sense of 'if an idea in your head is good' when you have something to physically look at.

Here's the thing though, if you share an idea with the world, no matter if it's a few words on a post or just scribbles on paper, there will be people who are bound to like it (like me, if it's shadowpuppet related lmao). And the more you develop that idea, the more people will become invested! It's support like that and enthusiasm that helps fuel motivation. Or... It gives you stress and causes you to drop a project/idea 💀 It could go either way, really.

But, all of that above is just a clump of words. Not nearly enough to inspire the masses.

Maybe you could just start by asking yourself what you want to get done at any given point in time during the day. And maybe, when you've asked yourself that enough, and find yourself facing the same answer, you'll give it a shot :DDD 👍

And if all that fails, here is a dinosaur who might give you some much needed motivation:

les mis 2012 was such a huge moment in tumblr history. a lot of people were suddenly mad into this decades-old musical and centuries-old book. and i wonder how that movie would have been perceived if it randomly came out tomorrow instead of 13 years ago. i wonder how people would react to fantine's story.

on that last note, war au ink and error beef oughhhhh the girls are fightinggggggg

the multiverse is collapsing due to the disconnect between the creators and the creations, so basically all the meta-aware characters (ink, error, killer, etc.) cannot hear the voices of the creators or feel their presence anymore. the state of the multiverse is literally a big allegory for an abandoned work. so, my idea right now is to have ink represent the urge to continue creating, going back again and again to the wip to try to finish it. and error represent the urge to delete it all, to scorch the work off the face of the earth. their ideals are just what the creator(s) is thinking all the time, basically.

'To Catch a Changeling' was the first episode where Jim actually kills someone (not counting goblins), and I've always wished there had been some kind of focus on the moral ramifications he experienced because of that.

Because there's no way he just went from being unable to kill a gnome, a creature considered a common pest, to killing a person with no afterthoughts other than: "oh man! I killed our only evidence of changelings in arcadia!"

Though I guess he could've just been doing a shit ton of compartmentalizing as well as justifying it to himself with the fact she was going to kill both him and Toby. But still, there's no way he didn't feel at least somewhat guilty.
