#infinite monkey

[etirabys]

I think one of my problems with plotting fiction longer than 15K is that I fundamentally do not like it when things happen, in the real world, that involve having to go places or move objects. My ideal conflict is someone sitting in a quiet room (that is not described) staring at a math puzzle to decode some emotionally important message. I would prefer not to describe their locomotion in and out of that room either. I don't want to depict people who have more active lifestyles than me, a remote worker who stresses herself out constantly about absolutely nothing. I am well aware that this is a lethal flaw in a fiction writer

Me: I should be finishing my revisions

My brain: The infinite monkey theorem= monkeys hitting typewriter keys at random for an infinite amount of time will type the complete works of William Shakespeare. What’s funny is that this is what happened, and it didn’t take infinity. It took evolution. Monkey ancestor to Shakespeare: about 6 million years.

@sylph-of-gender replied to your post “In a few days it will be 4/13, the 13th day of the 4th month. I hope everyone on the 13th of every month knows how much I love...”

SHE KNOWS

I do know! I love you so much, T!

interesting question that I had no immediate answer to; I had to informally graph the short stories I've written in the past few years before knowing to click option 1:

overprotective Ace but he never gets a chance to give Zoro a shovel talk or try to keep Luffy and him as far away as possible because Zoro loves his little brother impossibly so and it'd be a dick move to threaten someone that looks at his little brother like he's the sun itself.

while he's with Luffy's crew, he quickly realizes why Zoro always seems to keep an eye on Luffy no matter what and doesn't even fight when he throws himself at him to either wrestle with him for the sake of it or fall asleep on him, and he wants to go to Zoro and tell him to fuck off, that Luffy's off limits bc he's too young, he's too good for him, whatever. but. he can't. because the way Zoro treats Luffy is the way he deserves to be treated, with love and respect, and saying Luffy's first mate adores him would be quite the insult because it's not only adoration but something more, he'll squint at Zoro and glare and scowl trying to find whatever flaw that'll give him a reason to put him in his place, but he can't find any, because Luffy will give him his strawhat (his most valuable treasure) with a smile on his face and Zoro will give him a small one in return, Zoro yells and fights and unleashes his katanas against Sanji but then he'll go to where Luffy is to let himself be handled however his captain wants in that moment, Luffy wouldn't know shyness even if it hit him in the face, yet he catches glimpses of him faintly blushing whenever his swordsman does certain things, and Ace- and Ace can just ask all of them (ask Zoro, specially) to keep him safe. his brother is a handful, he knows, but he can see why Luffy's chosen them (him, he doesn't say) and leaves knowing Luffy's on good hands

You, coming up with an ask:

[etirabys]

I was rereading some of my old fiction and found a scene from 2019 I went !! at. There's a magical race whose most powerful members are capable of mind control, and one such person – a sort of king-vizier hybrid – is secretly training up an heir to replace him and Unite The Factions and so on.

He's raising her almost entirely among humans, and he sends her to a new school every six months and tells her to rule the pack by the end of those six months. At the end, he brings in all the key members of her peer cohort and mind controls them into saying their honest opinion of her – explaining why they don't like her if they don't like her, what they think she could have done to make them her followers in truth, what life circumstances and psychological weaknesses they have going on (some of which she could/should have detected on her own and used as levers).

She never has normal human relationships for the rest of her life because she can't exit a control frame. (One of my favorite lines from the scenes where she's an adult is when a lover worries out loud that she's trying to get around his preferences, and she says: if I wanted to get around your preferences, I would just... make you have different preferences.) I thought the scene where her adoptive father mind controls a bunch of children into giving brutally honest feedback to her, before tearing her away from the current group to start over somewhere else, was a striking backstory detail that makes that unsurprising.
