...When you realize, during writer's cartography, that one of the more important reveals needs to take place in Series 3 of your main story instead of Series 2

Gods, the Satisfying Afterburn series is looking more and more like the House of the Dragon's formatting...and I'm feeling more and more like GRRM re: Chapter 8

this chapter has been so absolutely nuts that I actually low-key forgot that I had a couple of new UM posters to do! wild! anyway, I gotta think about Lilia's some more, so here is my beautiful electric crocodile son in the meantime. god I hope this reads properly

(I went with Volt to go with his name, but there's a Bolt version too in the print-size folder!)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #unique magic posters #sebek: i have no choice...i'm going to have to use my special secret technique...#sebek: (furiously shuffling his socks on the shag carpeting) JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP #i love him so much #it turns out i had missed a couple of scenes in his hexagon map so i went back and made sure to hit everything #and i am SO glad i did #i almost missed the spoon scene! I ALMOST MISSED THE SPOON SCENE #every single bit with little sebek and silver is just such a delight #in fact every single bit with big sebek and silver is pretty delightful too #sebek going 'silver if you don't come out RIGHT NOW i'm going to tell everyone your embarrassing fishing story!' is a personal favorite #tell us the story sebek.

Atlas: Taryn? Hey!

Atlas: What happened-

Taryn: Please don’t.

Atlas: Can you talk to me?

Taryn: [ strained ] What is there to say that you don’t already know? I keep asking myself why you’re so nice to me all of a sudden. Why would someone like you be around someone like me and it’s such a… Mind-fuck.

Atlas: I swear to you, it isn’t like that-

Taryn: Am I just a one night stand?

Atlas: [ stammers ] N-No!

Taryn: Convincing.

Atlas: I��m sorry it wasn’t a good enough response, I’m just caught off guard. Why would you assume that?

Taryn: Because my questions made sense the minute you walked out of that building and there was lipstick smeared all over your face. Then you gave me this look, something about it made me realize I wasn’t the first and I don’t think I’d be the last.

Atlas: [ flatly ] We didn’t even catch each other's name, that’s how little it meant.

Taryn: [ barely a whisper ] Oh now that’s incredibly fucked up… Was that supposed to make me feel better?

Atlas: Bee-

Taryn: [ voice breaks ] Was it worth it? [ pauses ] Don’t… Answer that. I’m… Gonna go now.

#♪ underneath the midnight sky together we’ll be set free ♪#what a horrible way to end march #the discord is gonna beat me up #JUST A FEW NOTES IN THE TAGS IN CASE U WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE BRAINROT FESTERING MY MIND #SO did u notice how atlas maintained eye contact up until the tenth panel like he's being seen and it's uncomfortable #also the fact that all he musters up is the most ruthless comment like DAWG DAWGGGGGGGGG A STAB TO THE CHEST MATE #also to the anon that sent the ask about atlas and taryn i was just barely starting to map out this whole arc so when you sent that ask #i was like gAH GAHHHHH #nefarious machinations have commenced #fellas lemme tell u somethin it gets worse #this is just a lil dip in the pool #tessellate #sims 4 story #show us your story #tessellate: atlas #tessellate: taryn

Intresting how its only trivializing and mocking green myths when non-greek white people do it, but not when non-greek poc do it. Its almost if you dont actually care

lmao bro what

i literally have zero clue what you're arguing here, "stop criticizing rachel for writing her greek myth retelling from a predominantly whitewashed westernized and christian-washed point view" ?? yeah okay lol

#i can't even tell what direction this strawman is trying to go in LOL #no one cares if you're white my guy #shit there are greek myth retellings that slap and are written by *gasp* non-greek white people!#if you write a story based on a culture that isn't your own just?? do your research ?? and don't write it like you hate it for existing???#some of y'all hurt yourselves in your own confusion as if it's such a chore to give a shit about the stories you're adapting lolol #“I didn't know greece has moved out from the west and europe” babe can you please point to me on a map where you think greece is #ama #ask me anything #anon ama #anon ask me anything

Hear me out (or don't... it's fine I'm just venting and mean) yeah um I don't believe Chakotay was saved in Prod*gy s2.

#the 'time travel' makes no sense when you think on it. What happened to Prime Chakotay? He got killed they showed that.#At the end s1 Janeway finds an 'alternate chakotay in an alternate timeline' and that's the one they go and get #we saw the original get merc'd in the message. That ACTUALLY happened. Lmao.....#They didn't prevent THAT death because they didn't go to THAT Solum with the Infinity and stop it from happening #instead it was 'ALTERNATE #' implying other.#OG Chakotay wasn't taken over by the alternative one either nothing suggests that was the direction for him in s2 #they didn't do anything like 'well you see chakotay because at the end of s2 when we converged timestreams you have merged with your other'#if they did want to recover the original from s1 then keep that clear instead of being convoluted dont use an alternate timeline wtf #instead the plot was focused on gywns stupid fucking paradox plot and her being fixed #chakotay was the one in a paradox too did that not matter nah dw about it he had to die for this outcome or someshit lmao why #In the extended message given to admiral janeway it shows him clearly getting left behind and surrounded. Sadly no one intervened.#I dont understand why they couldnt have just made s2 about his rescue alone IF they took their time it wouldnt be so difficult #to follow #above that the one they rescued was ruined by the 10 year gap so he wasn't 'saved' at all. God i hate s2 when you break it apart #I dunno the more i look at s2 Janeway and Chakotay the more upsetting it is. Janeway would NOT have settled for an imposter.#everyone going goo-goo gaa gaa over s2 but it's sloppy af imo and undermines a huge portion voyagers struggles #id really like them to flatly lay out their ideas because literally nothing ive heard explains the story or choices of s2 with conviction #instead it's oh clap for wesley or the new vulcan and other references yay #describe to me your timetravel clearly and i'll happily take a seat on it (there is still other crap stuff mind you)#this is the most repressed shit i my head i swear #im angry because s1 is so clearly mapped out to a brilliant degree and for whatever reason it's not in s2 #i can see through it #insultingly people are eating it up and claiming it's better than ever nah dawg embarrassing #there are nice ideas inside s2 but they arent adequately rewarded #it doesnt compare to the timetravel in other trek because they kept it clear #i mean it could have been an interesting parallel to endgame but in the end janeway didnt even rescue him lmao they dropped her #why bother building up this mission only for her to give up and go 'i'll hand it over because im told to'. Janeway had fuck all this season #let alone settle for not fixing her own timeline and her own friends deadly circumstance dw just grab another one from the shelf i guess #the emotional fallout was absolutely missed because they didnt elaborate on anything. Plenty of show but no substance from the characters

YouTube: Why Fire Emblem Engage SUCKS and you should play THREE HOUSES instead

Tumblr: All the fire emblem games are good actually

#fire emblem #it's something i've noticed about how people talk about engage #overexaggerated but still #like i get three houses is more serious and has more replay value thanks to the different routes #but idk man a lot of times i was just dreading having to do a map in 3houses #the only time i felt that in engage was in the fell xenologue and after finding out chapter 6 just needs more strategy —#— (unlike sombron who you can just rush given your units are strong enough) I only hate chapter 5 because of its length #and the fact alear needs to dodgetank the entire time and effectively has 0 movement for some reason #but still #long story short engage is overhated on youtube and i genuinely like it more than three houses

a good question to consider is if "solve the epitaph or die" was ever explicitly a challenge issued by anybody here.

#umineko liveblog #the original riddle meant it as metaphorical #and if you assume this is about succession then the killings stop making sense #so it feels very much like that's an easy to read assumption into the grey area that isn't actually there #like. the implication here would be that solving the epitaph would stop the killings #so including that is almost an implicit demand from beatrice for the family to try to stop her #but given what we know about who is most likely orchestrating this #'i am going to kill you all but please also do your best to stop me i promise i'll play fair' doesn't make sense #however this does feed into the whole 'the culprit wants their crimes to be solved' deal i thought about earlier in the story #and if you're deliberately making solvable crimes is that not the same thing as wanting to be stopped?#maybe feeding back into the magic as gamble thing?#a crime can only be magical if you have decent odds of being stopped and succeeding anyway #which is all logical and makes sense but there's not a single person in this story that line of thinking maps onto #kinzo is the closest but kinzo has explicitly been ruled out like fifty times over #so bluhhhhhh i don't know!!!! beatrice your contradictory ways haunt and vex me

It is infuriating how absurdly simple the One Piece world design is, yet how it completely holds up to the entire story

#(Last op post for this queue i promise)#like???#the man drew a cross and said there's your map #and yet it (almost) makes complete sense and is completely conducive to the exact story that he was trying to tell #figured out a way it to both have an ending and have it go on for 1000 episodes #explained why they have to go island to island #explained why there's two parts to the grand line #why the grand like is hard to access when its RIGHT THERE #why no one can find Laugh Tale #like dude #oda what is your secret to simple and effective storytelling #op #one piece #agent h #agent report #ya'll must be sick of me talking about op #but my next queue is gonna be p much all pjo show critiques soooo #count your blessings

i miss when splatoon was fun. it feels like the whole game is just for super competitive battles all the time. which i mean, sure, i can deal with them pretty well. but it felt like splat1 and early days of 2 were more laid back, yknow? i didnt have to fight in such a hardcore way Every Single Battle. i could just have more relaxing matches and have some fun.

every time i play it anymore, i just get frustrated. it really sucks considering (consquidering) the joy it had brought to me previously.

also sometimes i dont want to have to git gud. sometimes i want to not do well and not feel frustrated abt it bc theres still fun to be had even if you arent the best. but it doesnt feel that way in this game.

#honestly might have to do w the rise in shooter games ? more people play them more often #so theres more people who are just naturally really skilled #so then chumps like me who just arent great at the game get steamrolled constantly.#and even if i do really well if ive got bad teammates its all for nothing #and i can appreciate a good fight even if i lose!#but for the most part its like. no youre getting spawn camped for 2 solid minutes.#mostly bc the new maps really suck.#anyways.#pikmin 4 is coming out soon. video games can be good :}#speaking of 4. i wonder if i would even be inclined to get splat 4 when we get that in the future.#i do love the story and characters and lore. so much #but since the game is mostly made for the multiplayer. it would be a waste of $60 #to Not do the multiplayer part #ah well. theres always salmon run.

looking back on approx one year since i got plagiarized by ckvsen but a huge part of it that irks me to this day is how hard it is to give credit like girlie ripped off a line from my other fics and read my entire masterlist and still refused to apologize. not saying she doesn’t deserve to write again but responding to evidence with “sorry but you’re making me doubt my skills” and “i admit it’s one line but i didn’t know how to write it better” to stealing a literal intro to a work is laughable at best and pity-invoking at worst like how desperate do you have to be to not even come up with your own plot to blow up that’s insane

#ujutxt #not the fact that her first work that put her @ on enhablr’s map being the whole plot and premise she stole from 14 steps #like this is one of the few times where i can go lower and hold grudges #call me immature but don’t go out there crying about how much effort was put in writing a stolen piece #when all that was done is have several of my works open in tabs and word things worse than the way i word my works #not saying she was bas but that fic in particular reeked of her dumbing down what i originally wrote to not get caught #changing a few things etc #like bro just idk come up with your own story #write characters in your head #it’s not that hard when you have imagination #boo hoo me calling you out made you deactivate #it’s a two way street babes i stopped writing on here cos of you #like bark bark all you want say you’re going through it to deflect you don’t know what i’ve been through either #well at least i’m free #free of cringe and free of plagiarists

sees a short clip of s2. tries to set it on fire w my mind. ANYWAY.

#Three books of an actually good story. Multiple books that suck. And we’re skewing completely off the map instead.#I don’t get adapting an IP if only the names are the same.#Like by all means tell your own story but this shit is weird.#out of stories
