Wip Wednesday

Happy wip Wednesday to you Izzy!

Thank you for tagging me @special-bc-ur-part-of-it

So, you might as well know the 22 Google doc files post of mine. And this week, I was able to abandon all these for now and start another story (heeere we go again)

This is an excerpt of what I'm working on

"Kurt's schedule was quite different for the last 2 years. Once he was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, his editor at Vogue.com, Isabelle Wright was kind enough to consider Kurt's health over work. In the initial days, he was allowed to work full time from home. He tried too hard to design but it was a hell ride. When Burt saw the pathetic state of his son, he knew what he should do. And that was how Kurt met Dr. Blaine. 

Loading his day with antidepressants and anxiolytics, he started to feel better in a few weeks. Blaine gave him not just the treatment for his depression; he gave him hope. He gave him happiness. He showed that there was always a chance of true love after a tragedy."

I don't know if it is interesting for you guys. But you can never guess the plotline from this. And I've been cooking an idea of spinning a fic for Alex x Henry. I need an entry to another fandom. Don't worry,Klaine is still my mother ship.

Please do tell if the excerpt is appealing

I would to know what are you guys working on

@gleefulpoppet @rockitmans @fallevs @mynonah (for your art), @esilher (for your art), and anybody who wants to play.

Of course no pressure :)

Just two kids who got left behind

So now we got Clay's side of the cave in!! He didnt really have time to process any of the emotions he was feeling due to having to immediately run for his life, then guide others to safety alongside Viva.

This was made mostly in response to this fun little tag by @zivazivc

I wasn't planning on drawing it up so soon but AUGH I had to, also ty I pride myself in drawing raw emotions

Btw I do read all the tags and comments I get on my posts I'm very happy to have crushed you all thoroughly 💖

They put me downstairs at work :(

All thumb healing progress was undone in one evening apparently. It actually felt mostly fine on Sunday, until after work. They put me in an area I'm rarely sent to on Sunday evening, and I had to do a ton of heavy lifting. My arms are sore but it's like a post-exercise soreness (painful, but still very normal). My thumb felt fine allllllll day today, until I started to draw. Even with breaks, it still feels super tense, and now it's hurting even when I'm not using it. I'm gonna take that as a sign to stop for the night lol

I have one drawing I want to finish before school starts back up, because I'm worried it'll distract me if I don't have it done before then. Of course, if my hand prevents from finishing it, I'll manage, but that'd suck :')

On a lighter tone I feel very strongly about this cat in a blanket I found, I don't know why it amuses me so much but it's such a mood

Marlene entering church every sunday and feeling guilty because she started having feelings towards girls and is struggling not to act on them, Marlene going to confessionals every week about it and being told to ignore the feelings and ask a boy out but one time it's a new person doing them and they tell her that the bible was written long ago and it isn't sinful to be a homosexual, Marlene running to church and breaking down in tears after her first time kissing a girl, Marlene's friends slowly coming out to her and she knows for a fact that they're not dirty or sinful so why is she? Marlene reading the bible over and over looking for clues to tell her that she shouldn't be ashamed to be a lesbian. Marlene coming to the conclusion that Jesus and Judas had an epic love story that ended in betrayal in order to feel better about herself. Marlene slowly coming to terms with being a lesbian and catholic and ignoring anyone who says differently because she knows in her heart that God doesn't give a fuck about who she fancies.

Oh you've heard of me? That's good to hear.

But I feel like no one showing up on your shift is better since then no one bothers you and such. :)

I keep an eye around. I try not to look at everyone else's blogs too much, but I see something here and there. I know there's you, a cat, a rabbit.. two actually, maybe? I think I saw a snail once? Things seem very chaotic over in their sphere. I'm taking my peace while I can.

So in a very similar sense, yeah, it is I guess! When I'm not exhausted coming in, I usually spend days like that watching a bunch of crappy old movies we have stashed in the back; there are some real gems back there if you know where to look.

Not to imply they're actually good films, by the way. I do just mean astonishingly terrible. Like a car crash where all the cars involved are clown cars or something suitably stupid like that...

Another axis for story description should be Homeliness vs Exoticism.

Homeliness: Some depictions of real or real-analogue places are rooted in an understanding of the logic of that place. Geography/climate is described as welcoming or at least non-hostile. Customs are treated as common-sense. Details of everyday life are accurate.

ex. Oofuri shows life in a major Japanese urban area with very little deviation even in the name of story convenience. The logistics of train rides, local landmarks, sunset, and distances factor into the plot.

ex. Infinity Train Book 4 sets its real-world portions in the Canadian music scene during like one of two 5-year periods in history when the Canadian music scene was ever relevant. Its characters’ backgrounds are rooted in two real-world demographics (third- or fourth-generation Japanese-Canadians whose parents grew up in internment camps, first-generation Korean-Canadians whose parents were displaced by the Korean War) and their backgrounds match (Ryan’s family are more assimilated, Min-Gi’s are less).

Exoticism: Some works depict settings with no understanding for why the community depicted came to exist in that way in that place. Worldbuilding doesn’t add up. Rules of culture aren’t explained and have no reasonable basis. Any questions about the setting are shut down or are answered with absurd responses. The setting is bizarre, hostile, impossible to understand, difficult to question. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; just as homeliness enhances realism or emotional connection, exoticism can enhance performance. Depictions of real-world customs are outright false, inaccurate, or twisted.

(loose) ex. 1990s-2000s DC Gotham City depicts a version of New York that gets razed to the ground every 6 months and never gets any new buildings. The people living in it are hardened criminals, child vigilantes, and also murder victims, with nobody apparently working in insurance. The city is full of glowing green chemical vats while also, apparently, being the home of the nation’s ruling class. There’s an evil clown there. The place is not meant to feel real, it’s a caricature of 70s NYC as depicted by conservative news channels. The real forces and pressures that created 70s NYC (waves of immigration from Europe in the early 20thC, hostile WASP power structures, the Cold War turning the federal government’s resources to overseas imperial conquest) don’t really exist except by implication.

ex. Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time has dozens of gimmick fantasy cultures that function by nonsense rules designed to waste the reader’s time and put female characters in situations that only he, personally, finds sexy.

In-Between: Then other depictions have a grab-bag of the two. Some rules about the setting are treated as normal, others are nonsensical or shown to be strange. There are outright mistakes, but there’s an effort at accuracy. Something like that.

ex. North American writers using the UK as a setting while writing with US colloquialisms and demographics.

ex. Pathologic, which scores full points on the Homeliness scale except for the treatment of the Kin characters, who are firmly on the Exoticism end of the spectrum.

Homeliness and Exoticism don’t have to be determined by the creative team’s ID. A lot of US writers treat the US with Exoticism by having 0 clue about the history of their country and writing about its customs without any sort of context or understanding for where they came from. Writers from one region can do enough research with enough good will to treat another region with Homeliness. The above Infinity Train example is a piece of work by a US team set in Canada that feels really homey from a Canadian perspective. Admittedly these are 2 really similar nations, but I’ve seen US writers fuck it up before. Can’t ever expect anything from those mfs.

I have a question. You kind of appeared out of nowhere to me so I wonder if you had another url before or if your blog just exploded and you're very active on here

hey! yeah i used to be a different blog completely!! ive gone through 6/7 different blogs since 2012-ish and i made this one at the end of 2020? i think? i do remember having this specific blog on Nov 5th, fun sjonnie trivia fact

i never really went to the spnblr side, sometimes id just browse some tags, like some things, but the brainworms didn't get to properly root until earlier this year. i did watch it on and off (aka, when, and im gonna go out on a limb here, and say it was RTL7 ((MeEr vOoR MaNNeN)) was streaming it late at night so it was utterly sporadic and i saw the pilot. many. many. times.) when it was airing, but idk, i was hovering in different fandoms (mainly youtubeblr, 1dverse etc) and being rabid over there hehe <3 i recently left the latter fandom due to some.. things.. and i felt kinda lost :/ and then i saw something in my queue that was destiel related when cleaning it/organising it aaaaaand yeah, then i fell into the spnpit for realsies, rewatched the entire series + the anime (i might've. might've watched this one first i am sorry..?) + a bunch of amvs and then i started rabid posting about it :3 so yeah. i didn't really explode? i don't think so at least.. i just really like this fandom and it's been a while since i actually felt at home in a fandom :v so i went a bit (going still) insane with it tehehe

sorry for this length-y-ish response, but i hope i explained it well enough :3

hey. hey. hey. hey. hey so in ff16 they give you a flash step that goes forward but when you're a big monster (happens for setpiece boss fights only) they give you a roller skating move that goes sideways instead. but then there's a fight where they give your monster form a forwards flash step too.

and IN THAT SAME BOSS FIGHT, you need to do it Twice in a row to close the distance between "outside the big AOE attack" and "guy you need to punch after he does the AOE" & this sums up basically everything you need to know about how AGGRESSIVELY MEDIOCRE the combat really is in this game.

anybody who tells you it's good is either lying or is remembering 1 of like 2 and a half really nicely-tuned fights, one of which was optional. and the health bars were still too fucking stubborn in all of them.

still just so so disappointed though :-(
