#i love creativity

[impending-day]

i love limbus ocs with unusual sources. like novel sources are cool and all but when i see a limbus oc whose source is a childrens story, or a myth, or a song, or a cryptid, or a niche historical reference, i get so fucking happy. if youre thinking of making a limbus oc but are worried cause your oc isnt based off of some novel from the 1800d. this is your sign. make that limbus oc soldier.

im just feeling amazed at the internet and how anyone can make a story and then a whole multiverse can grow from it, so many different ideas and au's and gorgeous things and memories. you can practically build an entire universe right inside your head.

im looking directly at you humans are space orcs ❤️ /pos

The new Defunctland video “Journey to EPCOT Center: A Symphonic History” is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I’m so blown away. Kevin Perjurer is a master storyteller & documentarian. The man is an artist. Everyone that worked on this video is an artist.

Creativity is a rotten thing.

I meet them in the office sometimes, though their schedule is rarely consistent. No matter the project, time of day or year, or how many messages I leave on their answering machine, they continue to appear in only the most random of places. I once found them in the grocery story, nestled between ripe tomatoes, humming a little tune to themselves.

When they do appear at the office, they rarely help. Always off topic, talking about the latest book they read or the next movie they want to see. My coffee often goes cold while I try to keep them on task. Though I can’t prove it, I also suspect they are stealing the staples from my stapler. My thoughts and papers are left in an absolute mess with no way to join them. Sometimes, they rearrange the folders on my computer as well. They give them funny names and place them in different spots, inevitably leading to lost files and restarted work. The names make me smile. By the time everything it back in its proper place, my coffee is cold again and I get up to make another pot.

Creativity is a messy thing. Once glance in their office reveals stacks of mismatched papers and notes. A computer screen that flickers and a careful arrangement of half empty pens litter their workspace. There’s genius in there… somewhere. If one could connect the scattered notes and discordant thoughts, I know they would find something truly special. In flashes of inspiration, I’ve seen creativity create things that steal away my breath and spark awe in my mind. Then, they disappear for another week. I find them tucked away between the treadmills and the weight rack at the gym.

Yes, creativity is a fickle, rotten thing. Never on time. Always unorganized. Endlessly frustrating.

And yet.

I wouldn’t wish them any different. The office would be quite boring without them.

I love creativity.

things to think about for characters

do they have allergies?

what foods will they not touch?

what kinds of music do they like?

how are they around new people?

do they speak in an accent?

have they tried learning a new language?

how many languages do they know?

what is a song that will always make them cry?

how do they cry? heaving? silently? sobbing?

how do they dress? for practicality or fashion?

what is the first thing they notice about a stranger?

what is their humour like?

do they have scars? what caused them?

do they wear jewelry?

are they a frivolous spender or a miser?

do they prefer luxury or practicality?

who would they quote?

what could make them change their mind?

who is the first person they'd call?

how are they around animals? do they have pets?

what is their favourite childhood food?

what is something they've never told anyone?

childhood friends?

what are habits they've picked up from other people?

what are their guilty pleasures?

what is something they're staunchly against?

do they speak a certain way? do they use contractions? popular turns of phrase?

can they fall in love? what does it look like? does it differ between people -- friends vs family?

what would they rather die than do?

what is their biggest mistake? one that they look out to never do again.

edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here

And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:

No, this was not an ISAT reference!

Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT

(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)

If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that

[literallyjustanerd]

so a few days ago I saw this post, and the accompanying tags from @brrmian :

the idea of Cody being simultaneously so cool on the surface and constantly overanalysing every interaction stuck with me so much that I ended up spitting all my thoughts into existence

so

enjoy a brief look into Commander Cody's mind:

I love ARGs bro

i love when words fit right. seize was always supposed to be that word, and so was jester. tuesday isn't quite right but thursday should be thursday, that's a good word for it. daisy has the perfect shape to it, almost like you're laughing when you say it; and tulip is correct most of the time. while keynote is fun to say, it's super wrong - i think they have to change the label for that one. but fox is spot-on.

most words are just, like, good enough, even if what they are describing is lovely. the night sky is a fine term for it but it isn't perfect the way november is the correct term for that month.

it's not just in english because in spanish the phrase eso si que es is correct, it should be that. sometimes other languages are also better than the english words, like how blue is sloped too far downwards but azul is perfect and hangs in the air like glitter. while butterfly is sweet, i think probably papillion is more correct, although for some butterflies féileacán is much better. year is fine but bliain is better. sometimes multiple languages got it right though, like how jueves and Πέμπτη are also the right names for thursday. maybe we as a species are just really good at naming thursdays.

and if we were really bored and had a moment and a picnic to split we could all sit down for a moment and sort out all the words that exist and find all the perfect words in every language. i would show you that while i like the word tree (it makes you smile to say it), i think arbor is correct. you could teach me from your language what words fit the right way, and that would be very exciting (exciting is not correct, it's just fine).

i think probably this is what was happening at the tower of babel, before the languages all got shifted across the world and smudged by the hand of god. by the way, hand isn't quite right, but i do like that the word god is only 3 letters, and that it is shaped like it is reflecting into itself, and that it kind of makes your mouth move into an echoing chapel when you cluck it. but the word god could also fit really well with a coathanger, and i can't explain that. i think donut has (weirdly) the same shape as a toothbrush, but we really got bagel right and i am really grateful for that.

grateful is close, but not like thunder. hopefully one day i am going to figure out how to shape the way i love my friends into a little ceramic (ceramic is very good, almost perfect) pot and when they hold it they can feel the weight of my care for them. they can put a plant in there. maybe a daisy.
