The whole party’s so codependent that this hardly matters anyway but Queerplatonic FabRiz is actually so important to me like all I picture is them at 20 being like Fabian “Hello my future lover, this is my emotional support provider THE BALL, I run most of my decisions past him and lose my mind if he’s not around.” Meanwhile Riz just gets the confirmation he’s actually loved for being a great friend and just the validation that his friendship is as important to someone’s life as a romance partner and also getting to at some point to be Fabian’s Sugarbaby.
#don’t look at me I’m just an aro with a messy bestie projecting on another set because we are like this#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#riz gukgak#fabian seacaster#fabriz#queerplatonic fabriz#zee rambles#don’t buy Adaines diamonds but Fabian would have done it#i genuinely think the reason he’s not the groups sugar daddy is because Brennan said be financial in trouble for plot

This AV Club comment is making me so desperate to write a romcom, you have no idea.
#adventures in writing#the trouble is that the idea begins and ends with 'romcom!'#the same way my desire to write mysteries would be 'they solve a mystery!' and i'd have no idea what the mystery was#there's this idea that keeps niggling me#from back when i was just braindumping potential elements i might want to make use of in an inklings story#and looking back at it later the list elements of 'arranged marriage' and 'rom com' stuck out#as well as a world that involves politics and mermaids#and my brain keeps trying to tell me this is a viable idea while providing zero plot or characters#see the thing about rom coms is that they require detailed characters who need their own arcs#the thing i'm bad at!#so it's hard to fulfill this writing craving because all my brainstorming instincts to start with the plot work against me here

Re-watching wakfu for the first time in years and s1 Yugo was so silly???
dude discovered he could make portals at will and his first thought after actually acknowledging it is "i can do so many cool pranks with this"
#he was just a kid..... guys he was just a kid....#HE WAS SO SILLY#also the fact that after eva told him they used to call amalia princess gobball he just laughs at it ☠️#was he 12? i think he was in s1#why dont they ever celebrate characters bdays tho#thinking over it now there was little to no chill time for these guys#sure there was a good amount of non plot stuff to get to know the characters but like#idk? ummm like in the first ova they gave them some chill time and i wish they had done that more#s4 was an amalgamation of “FUCK NOT AGAIN JFC”#OH ACTUALLY#there was (1) episode with chill time and i loved it#despite having gone thru alot of effort to be like look!!! chibi and grougal!!! theyre bros!!! yugo spent like. 5 minutes of screentime#with them. like actually being their brother.#and like it was kinda funny because imagine like the world sorta blowing up a little and then ur child comes back just to say#'dad im rlly fucking upset. ive been to the house of the gods btw. and i met my mom.'#alibert mustve been so fkn confused hdhdbd#then again. its like. average shit for his son#alibert went from gay dad with his lil guy from a species he does not know of who basically works a farm inn to like#a literal demigod. he def has made some enemies#i remember the most abt yugo bec the hyperfix was strongest on him#current thoughts on the others in the brotherhood:#tristepin: yugos nickname did not translate well into en lmao. also my guy pls stop harrassing women?? he gets an arc ik but like. my guy.#yes specifically s1 them#amalia: i mean. she does in fact act like a spoiled 13 yr old. but like. girl they did u kinda dirty.#eva: they also did you kinda dirty. love that your the only one just sick of everyones logic defying shit.#ruel: yk what. no notes. that is the most realistic old man ive ever seen. hes hilarious#az: this mf gets his ass in trouble every five seconds. u can tell he grew up with yugo. also according to s4 he gets bitches so XD#wu's rewatch notes#thats what im calling this#wakfu

Day 6: Farewell
Imagining it takes Partner a while to feel comfortable letting Hero out of their sight
@heropartnerweek
#Treecko#skitty#pokemon doodles#original art#heropartnerweek#heropartnerweek2024#This prompt wound up giving me the most trouble actually#I can’t for the life of me make a serious piece I’m sorry#Like my original thought was something sad. The actual farewell scene in explorers#But then it’s too sad :(#(and also too much background to draw 😭)#Anyway I don’t think partner would be able to accept hero’s actually BACK quickly#They’re thrilled no doubt#But can totally see them worrying it’s a mistake#Or temporary#checking for signs of that light when hero’s not looking#Going to bed every night praying they’ll still be there in the morning#Trying to live every day like it could be their last together#At least for a while#worst would be if they finally started to relax just before the palkia plot#Like they let their guard down and feel genuinely happy then BAM palkia in your house that night#Telling both of you your existence is destroying the fabric of space#After that can imagine hero really struggling to help partner feel relaxed/happy again#Because LAST time they relaxed they were almost killed#Anyway partner feeling they constantly have to be on guard for the next major catastrophe :(#Lot of pressure for a little pink kitten

Guys that go bump in the night

#bg3#astarion#rhylolin/lobo (oc)#kar'niss#drider#baldurs gate 3#driftoodles#alternative titles thst were suggested have been: the monster mash; two charlatan party crashers and their plus one#a drider a lycanthrope and a vampire walk into a bar#etc etc etc i could keep going#i imagine this would be a post bg3 plot thing . dunno what trouble theyre getting into but#whatever theyre up to someones probably gonna have to bail them out. my moneys on gale#with how ive been sketching kar'niss ive been drawing him more emaciated during bg3 bc i noticed his abdomen wrinkles at the bottom which#is a trait of dehydration in arachnids. hes probs not eating very well in moonrise lmao. but i imagine lobo heres been taking p good care#of him. also i think karniss still isnt used to being complimented so every time anyone says he looks nice he throws a fit about it#arachnophobia#but yeah so i try to draw him with rounder n softer features if im drawing him doing smthn post bg3#anywayyys i have a big day tomorrow i wish i had more energy to put smthn neater out but. for now. woe drider#i actually planned on replying to the og ask with more refined doodles but i may do thst later shdkdnkd

they may have built a super advanced robot replica of their dead classmate, but they’re still teenagers!
i put a little too much effort into their matching pfps… so this is testtube and fan at a new year’s party (which may or may not have lead to bot’s creation)
#based off of what i heard from random gossip in nat 5 drama this is what i assume highschool (or in my case secondary school) parties look—#—like which… actually makes the dance i’m going to go to in a few weeks a tad bit intimidating but also i heard that there will be NO—#—ALCOHOL INVOLVED because we’re going to a fancy establishment and we’d probably get in trouble if this school event ended with every teen—#—involved absolutely wasted#not like the organiser of this party had to worry about that..#i actually came up with a few plot points based around this new year’s party but the fan and testtube drunk bet one is probs be the most—#—important one cus like. they made bot lol#(i say this as if i will ever have the motivation to actually post comics for this au that have a plot)#my brain is filled with plotlines i just can’t write ‚em down well lmao#ii bot#ii test tube#ii fan#i(i) guess goo’s there too#fantube#technically?#ii#inanimate insanity

i am being so brave trying so hard to hold back writing a rant about that 'minimizing narrative noise' comment on totk sage concept art bc its actively flying around in my head like the worlds most annoying fly
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#i have .... thigns to say...............#i need to wait until i get a look at the entire book#and cant go on rants on single comments#then again .... what else is in there .................#i am dreading this thing#like id rather know that there was trouble during development than having a dozen of shitty comments obviously trying to cover up-#-for something- this CANNOT be true#yes narrative noise is a thing that exists- but in THIS game????????????????????????????????????????????????????????#like you basically cut down the already boring plot into its bare essentials that isnt executed well either#and then add confusion and menaingless detailes like the sage helmets “”connecting“” the sonau to the shiekah#when rly it just makes it more confusing bc the hsiekah a prectically gone- the fuck kind of conenction is there#like THAT is what id call narrative noise- weird details that make no sense and arent important#also you cant make a character the equivilant of a blank box and then say 'we wanted them to feel powerful and scary' or sth#BC YOUD NEED TO MAKE THE CHARACTER ANYTHIGN -BUT- A BLANK BOX TO HAVE THEM BE INTIMIDATING#ALSO all the ancient stupid sages do is stand around repeating words like they are puppets- you dont see them fight ever#“intimitadtign” my ASS the useless little knife fake zelda throws at sonia from half a mile away and prob wouldnt even have gotten through-#-her hair is more intimidating than any of the blank box mc sages#youd think they learned their lesson when they made the botw champions DLC bc it fleshed their characters out more and added better-#-shrines BUT NO apparently that was a big mistake huh#maybe thats why every single character is reduced to one boring stereotype or a blank box of nothing in totk#having zelda be anything else but a swooing little damsel waiting for her prince was narrative noise needing to be removed HUH#writing team all fired or what- literally WHAT was going on in there

shoutout to the writer of my favourite lawlight fic to ever exist
killing my self because I forgot to save it and they deleted the fic
#IT WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOSH#IT WAS AWESOME IT WAS MY FAV DEATH NOTE FIC BECAUSE OF HOW CHARMING IT WAS AND HOW AMAZING THE WRITING WAS AND NOW I CANT FIND IT ANYMORE#IT WAS SO DIANA WYNNE JONES HOWLS MOVING CASTLE. So self aware of its tropes and like the innate rules of that world and how the characters#Used those rules to their advantage. It was like a fantasy au where light was a prince who ran away from his marriage and he went to live#with ryuk. L was the king of the magical forest and he was investigating some trouble. The plots manage to merge and Light and L meet#while they are investigating their own respective cases. The side characters were fun and all contributed to the story in an imporatant wa#death note#death note fanfiction#ao3 fanfic#lawlight#I hope im just dumb and it wasn’t deleted so I can read it again but if anyone has that fic save plsplspls (if thats cool with fic etiquett#help finding a fic#I love you author for writing but im in despair for I now know what paradise looks like and can’t go back is this how light felt

the little flying pearl robot is so cute!! i love her lil crown, the little flaps that look like her tentacles, and the eyes and eyebrows!! im betting marina made it for her💗 its like their child
marina, in this trailer, doesnt seem to be speaking through the same mic with pearl like octo expansion. so if were looking at it in a positive-nothing-bad-happened-to-marina light, marina has her own robot that isnt shown in the trailer. but my main guess is that something happened to marina like being sucked in like dedf1sh and lost within wherever they are
#IM SO EXCITED#i didnt exactly want the thing where one idol is in trouble and we as the agent are trying to save them concept again#but im open to it if the plot is gonna be good and we get more lore opportunity!!#marina#pearl#agent 8#off the hook#splatoon#splatoon 3#ok i dont want to be a complainer or anything but i hope 4 gets mentioned or shown but it looks unlikely;#if not this dlc maybe a possible 3rd wave of dlc will continue their story#cuz it makes sense that they want to keep agent 8 + off the hook a contained story that involves them#and 4 is more connected to squidbeak splatoon in-game (like yeah 8 and 4 are roomates in outside game stuff like art)#(but in the game they are separate categories)#ok maybe i will write more thoughts on this later)#jenivi rant#my post

Should have posted this sooner but Netflix leaked the date of The Amazing Digital Circus episode 4 back in October
Back when episode 3 had just launched on Netflix like a whole minute before the Youtube premier (since it had a count down), Netflix showed this on the mobile app.
A placeholder image for Episode 4 of Pomni in front of the digital turkey from episode 1 and text that says "Coming in December."
I screenshotted it because surely there's no way this was true given the spacing between release dates of the last 2 episodes (two & three) and sent it to my partners and a server I'm in dismissing it as just Netflix being Netflix and putting out misinformation as streaming services are known to do quite often. Seeing as Netflix just acquired the rights to have it also shown on their platform, it was even more likely it was just total misinformation as GLITCH hasn't been that transparent with us before about this series and there was no word on episode 4 in any official capacity.
Editing this after having written the initial post: Apparently it was also supposedly leaked on the Netflix website too with a more specific date given.
Cut to yesterday when we got this image of seemingly promotional material for the next episode from GLITCH. I was shocked, it's coming soon then? Maybe this is just to tide us over for a few months, the Netflix leak was probably not even a leak. (This is the best quality I got, I don't have a twitter and I'm sure the instagram image compression is as bad as the Youtube community post.)
Ah yes, this man is super charitable with his 57 cents. 😂 (inb4 North America public service job moments with the two gunmen NPCs on the loose.)
AND THEN TODAY THE TRAILER DROPPED TELLING US THAT EPISODE 4 WILL DROP ON DECEMBER 13TH! I am shocked, I am in awe, and fuck Netflix for leaking the general date (even if it's just the month) that the next episode would come out as that wasn't official information that we were probably supposed to know. Also here's a banner showing something new going on with Gangle.
youtube
Having said that though I enjoy little leaks like this personally, whether it was coincidental and misinformation on the streaming service's part or not. CHECK THE NETFLIX PAGE AND APP RIGHT AS EPISODE 4 DROPS OR WITHIN THOSE 24-48 HOURS I GUESS! MAYBE THEY'LL DO IT AGAIN! 🤯 Netflix just can't stop leaking things I guess, from entire shows to release dates of shows.
Another edit: Apparently Gangle's VA said somewhere in this live stream that it was coming out in December, but I haven't watched all of it; so, I can't confirm if that's true.
#couldn't find the screenshot in the partner group chat so the discord server one a whole day later will have to do#just goes to show that netflix is terrible at managing things that weren't supposed to be released yet and leaking them to the public#though as digital circus fans that also gives us something to look forward to; let's see if they do it a second time lmao#I'll absolutely be keeping my eye out for that episode 5 leaked vague release date in the near future#they still don't show it on the app btw so someone probably got in trouble with glitch productions and had to take it down#wonder what pomni jax gangle and ragatha are gonna get up to as I haven't watched the trailer yet but given the newspaper article#I think it'll be America customer service simulator and Jax will be held at gun point or something by the robbers and taunt them daring the#to do it to pull the trigger cmon coward just shoot already then it'll blast out confetti or something because age rating game censorship#I think Orbsman will be like the super important customer role or something too and will probably give the fast food place a star rating#I'm sure people who follow gooseworx more actively on tumblr and other social media might have seen this coming but I wanted to point it ou#mine#op#the amazing digital circus#tadc#the amazing digital circus episode 4#tadc 4#tadc 4 spoilers#tadc spoilers#tagging just to be safe as I'm probably right about some parts of the plot; also calling it now Gangle gets a power trip#after she becomes or is appointed as manager and that's gonna be such an interesting dynamic to see with the rest of the cast

Hey, do y’all remember that girl who snapped her retainer thirsting over Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther? Well, I had a similar experience watching Dev Patel in Monkey Man, because I spent the whole movie unconsciously clenching my thighs and created enough friction that by the time I left the theater they were unspeakably chaffed.
#monkey man#dev patel#seriously go see it it’s an incredible film#and also if you thirst for Dev Patel it’s a real treat#plus badass trans people integral to the plot#and a very visceral look at the current troubles in India

Personally I believe that genre is like a medium and any genre can be done well if the author understands their craft and can tell a good story and use their genre to explore interesting themes. That being said it's really hard for me to imagine ever finding military sci fi interesting. Sorry Ender's Game fans. But you said large scale space warfare and I am already yawning
#maybe it's because the most famous/popular examples are all ''we must fight to save earth from the evil alien invaders''#which is not just boring and cliché but also a. troubling type of plot. and i don't think i need to explain why#either way i'll always default to sympathizing with the Other in a Kill The Other plot especially if it's aliens that look like bugs =:>#esthetics#thoughts

idk if I actually want to write it, but I was thinking, ‘hm, baldurs gate three is a pretty good set up to have a character from something else be Tav’ and obviously how could I not immediately think of Jester. Mostly because Tav has big ‘everybody loves Jester Lavorre’ energy.
just. the crystal clear image of her getting upset that she’s back at level one, and yelling at the traveler about it, which everyone else goes ‘okay whatever so she’s maybe a bit crazy, we can deal with it’ and then like the first time they set up camp he just actually shows up to apologize, because this plane is making him do *paperwork*
I’m kind of tempted to restat her as a warlock for said paperwork reasons, which would mean Wyll getting to watch her make a very casual deal and having Emotions about that. And obviously Shadowheart and Gale have their own fun angst about the God angle.
#au blogging#jester lavorre#critical role au#bg3#bg3 au#crossovers#I feel like Astarion would really like Jester (master of chaos) but idk how he’d feel about Jester (nice person)#she and Karlach are obviously immediately besties#Lae’zel I think has a roller coaster of emotions between ‘competent’ and ‘ridiculous’ that she’s having trouble processing.#the rest of the m9 are stuck away for plot reasons (can’t directly plane shift and spelljamming takes time)#am I going to make a new save just to figure out how to write this? look.

I have a great idea for where we could send Desmond next. We should send him to Yara (Far Cry 6). It’s tropical island where he could be a bartender and help out the rebels overthrow the dictator. He would love it there. What do you think?
Desmond would be in such a strange situation in this one. Yara would definitely not be welcoming to any foreigners, especially considering the current situation (unless we’re making this about Desmond getting reborn as a Yaran?).
He’d definitely be in everyone’s ‘watch list’, not just the government but even the rebels.
Desmond would probably either go full stealth mode and create a Brotherhood behind both the government and the rebels, serving as a third party to both the government and the rebels (although there’s an uneasy alliance with the rebels because of his Brotherhood’s secrecy) or he’s juggling two lives, one as a strange bartender who everyone has an eye on and as the secret mentor of a fledgling Brotherhood.
The second one is more risky but it does give the story the chance for Desmond to outsmart everyone by pretending to be just a normal ‘flirty’ bartender when, in reality, he’s been slowly making his own Brotherhood and setting up an intelligence network.
Gameplay-wise, Desmond could be the bartender who gives Dani daily quests to get materials or maybe even a new currency they can use for something else.
Desmond would act like a nice dude who can’t get out of Yara because, well, things are pretty tense at the moment so he’s making good with what he has.
In the shadows, there’s a secret organization that’s undermining the government, with its actions being pointed at the rebels.
And no one can find any connections between Desmond and the Brotherhood.
#i kinda like the idea that desmond covers his face#because he knows people won’t trust him because of how he looks at the moment#and to hide his identity as the bartender#maybe even change his accent?#to one of his ancestors?#i’m thinking altaïr so it wouldn’t be a european accent#he can’t use ratonhnhaké:ton’s accent because it’s quite close to his own#and using a british accent was just asking for trouble#considering yara’s history with colonizers#assassin's creed#desmond miles#ask and answer#teecup writes/has a plot#fic idea: assassin's creed#fic idea: far cry#fic idea: crossover

someone's been liking a lot of my old posts relating to my attempts to rewrite fairy tail.... which, and this may astound you, is not actually a cancelled project in spite of the fact that it's been nearly a decade since i first started trying to figure it out
#fairy tail#fairy tail rewrite#ek3 rewrites ft#i knew it would take a while but. it is taking wayyyyyy longer than i thought#likely in part bc of the hell that is rotating special interests/hyperfixations#tbh i'm actually kinda ok with how long it's taken bc i've had some pretty good ideas since that i wouldn't have when i first started#unfortunately that also means some earlier ideas have been scrapped#oddly i'm actually having more trouble with some of the earlier arcs#the macao and daybreak arcs are still overall the same plot-wise but i'm planning to use them for world-building and character introduction#i've also gotten a bit more comfortable leaning into some of ft's more soap opera-y nonsense#like the constant surprise family stuff#just. hopefully less stupid#also. and i'm sure i've said this before. every character who dies was planned out well in advance#like even now when i'm still in the early stages (*sound of sobbing heard in the distance*) i know who's not making it and who is#probably the hardest part will be dealing with the last few arcs tho bc by that point it'll look pretty freaking different from canon#actually the hardest part will probably be handling the balance between fanfic-as-fanfic and fanfic-being-written-like-an-original-work#also i'm still firmly refusing to acknowledge the existence of ft100yq#i can't see it. i don't know her

me when i write a character who is prone to dooming themself and then they run off and doom themself. core traits are stubbornness and a willingness to disregard their own humanity gET BACK HERE IM NOT DONE WITH YOU
#rambling#surprisingly this is not about jakob.. im just really consistent about my favorite character archetypes 😭😭#WARNING THE NOTES ON THIS ARE REALLY LONG I STARTED RAMBLING#“ouhh i have a headache i'll just lie down and rotate my blorbos in no general direction for a while until it goes away” and then boom.#serious plot considerations. 2 questions answered 24million new questions raised. this is specifically Not what i asked for.#so now im sitting here STILL dizzy running mental calculations on how i can get this bitch out of peril without reworking everything#but they literally keep dying in every timeline 😭😭 every single plausible road leads to them running off and screwing themself over#“character who doesn't realize they want to live until it's way too late to look back” VS#“character who is forced to live and handle the things they never though they'd survive long enough to deal with” FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.#fucking hell i have never had this much trouble writing a character as i have with them#they genuinely do just run off and do shit without my permission and then i have to pace for an hour or two wondering#“ok they wOULD do that. but should they. do i feel like i can confidently write that.”#im like constantly in this tug of war trying to get them to CHILL#but also they are absolutely my favorite character from the entire project. but like. FUCK GET BACK HERE#is death the most satisfying end to this arc? is someone who was Set on dying then NOT dying the most satisfying end to the arc?#how many bridges can you burn until you irreparably set yourself aflame too?#would ghost or revival plotline work?? would it make sense with the worldbuilding??#do i just Like Them enough to want them to not die?? where do i draw the line between personal bias and a good arc?#is death not feeling as impactful as survival solely because i've been writing for so long that it's lost the initial impact?#and other such plot considerations...#im gonna have such an easy time writing another character though 😭😭 because THAT character's dynamic in the second act#is to stare at character 1 and be like “why are you like this. i mean i know Why but can you chill. please.” and like damn bro me too#actually wait no i think kaey.a is the hardest character i've ever written i take it back#had to worry about his 20million facades AND his Actual feelings AND canon compliance. shit is hard#i still havent finished the k/aeya fic i started back when the chasm first released which is uhh. two years ago. oops.#i think i struggle writing emotionally repressed liars i think thats what this is 😭😭 anyways.#(voice of guy who has been obsessed with nonlinear narratives and tragedies for several years):#“is it too much to kill this character in a nonlinear exploration game with tragic elements”#like bitch what are you talking about 😭😭 YOU'RE the target audience here figure it out#sorry the notes on this are just my writing journal now apparently
