#omg that reminds me of this thing we did in choir where we sang christmas carols in small groups for some charity stuff

[thedawningofthehour]

#my sister actually came up with the longer LL plot#she was like: “If you're controlled by a parasite; I'd NOT talk to it?? 100% just cut u open; remove that bitch asap”#Me: “But you don't know how to do surgeries u only ever sewed a chicken and not even well”#“Oh sounds like the parasite is scared now”#Lemonardo is not really based on her tho#She's more like Donnie; giant beautiful brain but dresses like a hot topic scarecrow with no social stats#She had a black lipstick era and I will never let her forget#It's very hard because she BOTH hotter & smarter than me; but I'm better at writing Ninja Turtle Fanfiction SO WHO ARE YOU PROUD OF NOW MOM#no but fr I love ma idiot sister she amazing

Your sister sounds hysterical and she can never meet my sister. The world would explode.

(my sister is also prettier and smarter than me too, and more successful at life. and she has a French boyfriend, which is funny considering this story's context with The French but also he is a sweetheart and I like him way better than her last boyfriend)

#Donnie is such a tsundere#“Not like I care; but here I made this specific gift for you it took only 3 months; DONT TOUCH MY HAIR; but can I sleep in ur bed tho”#Doth Draxum is a tsundere too imo (but secretly)#“Ur merely a tool; here let me carry you; Ur just my personal thermonuclear arsenal; but yeah I would die a thousand deaths to keep u safe”#Doth Raph is that meme of a dog sitting in a burning house#I'd say Leo's also tsundere; but no#He's that distant relative who keeps sending u pics of pigeons who look like you and then calls ur mom when you block him#Doth Cass is a murder goose as has been established#Bella literally the gay cousin#There's a parade going on under my window but fuck if I know what they celebrating

Not really any commentary, just loving these images. :)

Bella is like that one vine of "bitch I don't have a gay cousin. Oh gawd, I am the gay cousin-" except literally no one in this family is cishet aside from probably Raph. (and we've established that he might also be a lesbian even though he's a cis man)

#Imagine Doth Influencer AU#YT title like: "VLOG DRAXUM PRODUCTIONS KIDNAPPED OUR BRO?! NO CLICKBAIT! CALLOUT RAP feat. BELLA”

THEY ABSOLUTELY WOULD MAKE YOUTUBE VIDEOS RAGGING ON DRAXUM HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THAT. If this story had a more comedic tone I'd absolutely put something like that in. I've been playing with Leo doing pro-mutant propaganda stuff later with Baxter, which would definitely include shit like "right and while we're on the subject of how much Draxum sucks-" so maybe I'll let him make a silly callout video.

Bella would be such a bad rapper lol. She'd be great at beatboxing though.

HI FAI very random, but when you write scenes of a chapter, do u write all of them in the same doc, or do you write them in different ones? :') Bc I struggle to sort through mine rn (ALSO I AM.SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT PIQ CHAPTER HGNGHR I'm having hand flappies thinking about what will happen next-

Also omg I know it will be a little while still but I am SO friggin thrilled to see your Bishop!!)

It depends on how solid my outline is. I was writing the next 3-4 chapters all in one doc, because I wasn't sure how I was going to group them together or even what order some of them would be in. I did create a final 'piq6' document a few days ago though, I do like having that all together and being able to see the whole thing. If I know exactly what's going into the next chapter I'll just write it in its own document.

The dual POVs thing also complicates shit, since I have to figure out the best way to alternate Gale and Leo's sections. Very often I'll just group all of Gale's scenes and then do a double page-break before Leo's scenes, and I'll figure out where Leo's scenes will go afterwards.

You should have seen me trying to sort through the original doth document, lol. I had all of Donnie's scenes written and then like half of Leo's, all in one big document. After like chapter 4 or something I knew I was going to need to figure out what was going where and set off on a massive reordering campaign. I think I had like eight different documents open to copy/paste text into, and three different highlighter colors on the master document denoting stuff that was placed, stuff that I placed and changed my mind on. Add to that there was an extra Donnie scene originally that I broke up and added to the others. The whole thing was just a fucking mess.

Oh, I also have a scraps document where I shove bits that I cut but didn't want to delete. And blurbs I want to use in the future and jotted down while the inspiration was with me. I think I have like three different documents for this right now, and nothing is labeled well. There has been one incident where I could never find the blurb I was looking for.

I'm hoping to get something out next week! Hopefully these long breaks will stop being so much of a thing, I've been working ahead a lot and we're getting into some stuff I've been really excited about.
