NANO YELLOW ALERT

Holy JESUS. I mean, even with the short story words in there, I sure wrote a LOT.

(Note that my final draft will be somewhere in the 60000 word range. I cannot wrap this shit up in 8000 words. I'll post when I meet the 50000 word goal, but continue nightly updates until the draft is done.)

Here's the highlight reel. Huge spoilers for if I ever publish this. Like- spoilers that if it was a movie, you'd want to murder your friend if they told you. Readmore'd just in case.

I've finished Joran's trip around his friend's mansion. Unfortunately, his mission impossible proved too impossible. Teosur is now infected by the love brain fungus. Oh noez!

Joran resolves to save Teosur, even if it seems impossible.

Some backstory stuff involving Joran's brother, Jagzid (pun on "jagged"), who noped off when he met his soulmate and left Joran running the house alone at age sixteen.

Joran's antics have made him a target of not just his town, but the entire cluster. That's a group of ten towns. All of which are desperate to get him to just hook up already so they can go about their normal lives.

Joran receives help from a girl named Ally, who provided him with many of the secrets of his world. She lives with a group known as the People, who exist outside the love-fungus-fueled dystopia. She takes Joran and his four-year-old sister to her family, which consists of her father and brother.

The brother is kind of a loser who wears shirts that say "That's What She Said", but he's a nice guy.

Ally's father has the ability to surgically remove soulmate timers that have yet to go off. He offers to do so for Joran. He accepts.

This surgery will only freeze Joran's soulmate's timer. She won't be hurt, but she will think he's dead. This may be to his benefit later.

Before the surgery, Joran and Ally's dad have a discussion about love and its many forms. Keep in mind Joran lives in a world where gay and trans people don't technically exist, and no-one can choose to be single, amongst many other bullshit nuclear family rules. He's a little overwhelmed with all the forms of love now presented to him.

I also get to mention gay rams and penguins. It's only for a line. But I think it's cute.

Joran undergoes the surgery offscreen. It's a success! Thanks to something he said beforehand, though, Ally's father has an idea that may help Teosur, and perhaps the world. He's taken Joran's fungus to run some tests on.

I stopped midway through a light chapter where Joran treats himself to a sponge bath and movie marathon. The kid deserves it.

Also present- four-year-old Jibby making cookies out of dirt and winning the quiet game on the way to Ally's house. There are finally adults to take care of her. Yippie!

Plus two scenes from the original short story were remade into dream sequences. The short story had multiple endings, which I incorporated into the novel as dreams! I won't be able to use this cheat going forward. But that'll plunk me down at around 50000 words anyway.

Rules: share something about an idea you have/something that's speaking to you/an au you'd like to see and are considering writing/etc. etc. Basically anything that is tempting you away from your current wips!

tagged by @supernovasimplicity for this one. i don’t write  anymore, so this is a monument to all my sins (my 50000 drafts in my notes app) instead. consider this the list of things i would have written were i capable of the remotest bit of commitment. fully naming and shaming a whole bunch of past fandoms here too.

kinnporsche - SPH chapters whatever to whatever would have been the end: this counts because it is the biggest casualty in terms of scope. there are at least three more arcs i was planning, including the promised-but-never-delivered murderboner adventures, a revenge/separation arc, and the ending has been planned out for months. it is basically guaranteed never to see the light of day. www sad trombone dot com. - (redacted) vegaspete fantasy AU: this was a me & boots co-production. part of it exists and did get periodically picked at and the outline got revised a thousand times, but what was supposed to be conveyed as a fairytale with a deft touch, it had all the subtlety of the claw end of a hammer. this is the one i’ll drink about years from now and be bummed i never finished it. - i once promised dearly beloved @trueplainhearts i would write her the missing scene vegasmacau episode 2 cleanup after porsche’s bullshit at the koi pond. probably the one I’m most surprised no one has written (to my knowledge, which is minimal). - all the prompts i got for vp one-shots. these keep me up nights. they’re rotting in my askbox in the hopes i’ll get my shit together. have not forgotten them, just never moved the needle one iota. actually, that’s a lie. i have half a one-shot where macau runs his own horrible cooking youtube channel with a very game pete who will eat basically anything. probably the one closest to completion.

the flash - lord HELP me i was so on my bullshit about a show that continually betrayed me at every turn and stopped being good after two seasons despite running for nine. (i did quit after s3, but the rage will be lifelong.) anyway that shit inexplicably ruled my life because hearts and sparkles hearts and sparkles all the love in the world for my beautiful sad gay deaf mallgoth hartley rathaway, most beloved of his horrible stupid name. i dreadfully miss playing in that sandbox. i went old-school crackship and had my own decades-spanning world set up for two characters who never met in canon because i want nothing more than traumatized embittered brilliant characters hated by their own family and the people around them to ultimately create their own homes and happinesses. i wrote perhaps an ungodly amount of twitter DM harry wells/hartley rathaway fic but didn’t explore 95% of the world we created. i had millions of ideas i wanted to write for them — some domestic, some porny, some healing, some of those deep dives into disability and anger and grief -- and boy did i fail to write almost all of it. god, that show did not deserve the amount of time and energy and effort i poured into it but it was so creatively fulfilling and it’ll always be a place i come home to. - i would, of course, be remiss if i just acted like a saintly crackshipper while i stank up that fandom when in reality this was the OG murderboner adventures show for me and in the course of making this post i DID find the actual murderboner adventure fic (which i wrote in second person and do not remember doing at ALL) and not finishing that one for an audience of zero is a regret. harrison/hartley was SUCH an underrated ship in the fandom and no one wanted to make it as disgusting as i did despite the fact that it had SUCH ripe elements for a toxic, codependent, abusive, easily-murderous mess of a relationship. young traumatized alienated genius desperately seeks the withheld approval of an authority figure! COME ON PEOPLE GET IT TOGETHER. a boy who would easily kill for you if it meant you would cast your gaze his way for only a moment and who would be blind to how much of himself he’s lost until it’s too late — it was a certified me fic through and through. there was so much murder. so many boners. RIP :( - tbh i had a lot of fucked-up porn wips for this series. i was really into some disgusting fucking non-con and trying to find like-minded degens to share it with was a fool’s errand. hope no one ever steals my phone and finds them all.

all the other shit - i still get a little prickle of guilt over never finishing a detroit evolution wip about my favorite subject, traumatized and isolated boys wrestling with the concept of being loved and cared for after years of loneliness and fury. i was never a good fit for that fandom (true to form) and this just became one of those sore spots i didn’t have the energy to poke at any longer. i always wrote characters too similar to me and then they got uncomfortably personal and i ended up walking away. - lore olympus fans who hate minthe can a) skip this one and b) get the hell off my blog bc i am and always will be a certified minthe stan. love her. adore her. wanted desperately to write the codependent messy dysfunction of the hades/minthe relationship — the unequal power dynamics, the fear and anger of watching someone else get better while you’re not, the careless hurts to release your own pain. i really wanted to capture that loveless misery and just never could nail the vibe i wanted to. - prapaisky. i’m leaving this one as-is bc everyone i know thinks LITA is dogshit but i feel disproportionately strongly about them and wanted to dig into that post-canon recovery. end transmission.   - a lot of my stuff never made it out of my brain bc i knew it wouldn’t be worth it to watch it sink like a stone, which was the case with evelyn/walter from one lane bridge. i don’t know anyone who was binging dour nz murder mysteries and it isn’t exactly a canon that begs for a rich ao3 presence, but giving me glimpses of these gentle characters doomed by the narrative and forced into making unspeakable choices put me in a fucking chokehold. i scarfed every tiny crumb i got of their story and outright sobbed at the ending. watching the lock fall had me in full-on claire danes mode. it was prime character study material and i rewrote their story 500 times in my head bc i knew there wasn’t a chance in hell that thing would get the slightest bit of traction if i slaved over actually writing it. - flex/rita: fuck hbo max fuck zaslav fuck the WORLD. i know doom patrol will end and i will NOT see flex/rita become canon because devan chandler long is on another show and also DC hates me personally. (they should have at least kissed!!!!!! god!!!!! you give a woman a screaming reality-tearing sex-ghost orgasm and yet i can’t even get a chaste smooch out of it!!!!!!!!! god i’m gonna die mad about it.) anyway this was a fun one to plot out in my head bc it was all about sketching out flex’s backstory and exploring hero worship in the contexts of celebrity vs literal superhero and the idea of meeting your idols in the most doom-patrol-y way, which is to say decades later when you’ve both been victims of horrific medical, scientific, and magical fuckery but still are in the prime of your life. very rita hayworth in terms of ‘men go to bed with gilda and wake up with me’ in the disconnect between a public-facing persona and the vulnerability of being your ugliest, most honest self. also idk there probably would have been literal rat-fucking or something, it’s doom patrol.

not tagging anyone bc i always know i’m gonna leave someone off so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ do it if you’re compelled, don’t if you’re not

The Lonely Few at the Geffen Playhouse:

The cast was what originally drew me to the show - first when I saw the listings for the Geffen season and Lauren Patten was listed as starring in this new musical, and then when Ciara Renée and Damon Daunno were announced as joining the cast.  

More notes below:

The theater was set up as a bar, with small tables in front of the stage, bar seating on tall chairs on either side of the table area, and several rows of theater-style tiered seating at the back. In my earlier post on the show I noted that sitting at the Main Bar puts you right in a lot of the action. Because I was at the end of the bar farthest from the stage, actors would often be in the vicinity because they were watching the stage performance (in-character) and there was space to stand, because they just happened to enter the bar from that side, or on one occasion because that open aisle area was was used for staging part of a scene. I was pretty startled at Damon Daunno’s first appearance in the show because I turned to my left and he was standing right next to me. (Funnily enough, I bought that seat thinking it would be reasonably close to the stage but far enough back and to the side that I wouldn’t be in the middle of things. Whoops. I’m glad at how it turned out because it was a neat experience, I ended up sitting next to a very nice person, and thankfully there was no real audience participation element. But it is kind of weird when actors are acting right next to you.)  

The plot is not especially groundbreaking – basically it’s Singer-Songwriter AU, The Musical (F/F, 50000 words, rated Teen). That is not meant to be disparaging – I mean, I’d probably read that story in any number of variations.  Just pick one younger, talented character who desperately wants to escape the mundane shackles of their small town (Lauren Patten, as Lila) and one maybe slightly older, more reserved character who has seen the world and is a little jaded but still wants to carve out a path of their own (Ciara Renée as Amy). Joshua Close is Adam, Lila’s brother. Damon Daunno is Dylan, Lila’s coworker, best friend, and the bass player in their band, The Lonely Few; his character is almost entirely lacking the swagger he used as Curly in Oklahoma!. Helen J. Shen is the youthful and enthusiastic keyboard player JJ, Thomas Silcott is Paul, the band’s drummer, owner of the bar the band performs at, and apparently the closest thing Amy has to a father figure.

The music was pretty good; while I can’t specifically recall the songs after a week and a half, I enjoyed listening to them in the moment and they were performed well. The duet between Amy and Paul was particularly nice and I was impressed by Ciara Renée; she sang beautifully and expressively with both control and restraint. Song styles included rock, folk/country, pop, blues.

One thing that I would have liked to see in the show (or at least see more sharply portrayed) is a little more character buildup, a little more pining, a little more loneliness. Part of the appeal of this kind of romantic drama is to provoke those twinges of emotion on behalf of the characters. It was like I could see what the story was trying to get at, but it wasn’t quite focused - e.g. I gather a character might react strongly to certain relationship stressors because of their past experiences based on earlier things they said, but I was thinking that vs. feeling it.

On the whole I liked it and if time permits I would go see it again (whether from the same vantage point or a new one).

Zuzu's Bug-ventures: Home Edition!

I'm so behind on identifying these, but most of them were from last week. Some I've already posted on their own, but I thought I would add them to the week's collection.

Bronzed cutworm moth (Nephelodes minians). I don't think I've ever looked up what moths look like when they're mating, but I guess this is it!

Eastern harvestman (Leiobunum vittatum). Found it on the porch and honestly thought it was dead. It disappeared by the evening, so either it wasn't dead, or something grabbed it

Western honey bee (Apis mellifera). Always a welcome sight

Eastern yellowjacket (Vespula maculifrons). All these directions!

Four-lined silverfish (Ctenolepisma lineatum). Without fail, these guys are always in the sink after you come back from a trip

Unsure of ID. Possibly a huntsman spider of some kind. It was pretty big and very dead

Small grass skipper butterfly (Atalopedes campestris). After 50000 blurry skipper photos, one of them finally decided to let me get a good one

Peck's skipper butterfly (Polites peckius). There were so many different kinds of skippers out and about!

Silver-spotted skipper butterfly (Epargyreus clarus). Action shot, but it was just the right angle to see identify it as a silver-spotted one

Small grass skipper butterfly (Atalopedes campestris). Yes, a second one. But it looks different enough from the first that I thought I would post it. And we're done with the skippers now, I promise (at least for this post)

Unsure of ID, but it's definitely the underside of a jumping spider

Flea jumping spider (naphrys pulex). These are so cute. They're my favorite jumping spider at this point

Eastern carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica). I have no idea how my phone was able to accomplish this one. Perfect bee. Gorgeous. No notes

Unsure of ID. NO idea. I know it's hard to see, but this extremely tiny spider made an incredible web

Dusky Stink Bug (Euschistus tristigmus). Just a guy. It was funny because my dad was like "look! there's a cool bug on my car for your collection!" and I had to tell him that it was just a stink bug

Unsure of ID. Possibly a plant bug (Megaloceroea recticornis).

Varied carpet beetle larva (Anthrenus verbasci). This was on my wall. Hopefully it was the only one!

Unsure of ID. Possibly Alebra aurea, which is a type of leafhopper.

Giant crane fly (Nephrotoma ferruginea). This one is super dead, but you can see my pictures of it doing alive stuff here.

Unsure of ID. I'm thinking just a curled up millipede

Winter ant (Prenolepis imparis). I was ready to ignore this thinking it was an ant I've seen before a zillion times. But looking closer, it's really pretty! Apparently they're usually active in the winter/cold weather, so I'm not sure what this guy was doing hanging around when it was late September and 68 degrees.

Minettia magna. Can't find the common name. The internet's just calling it a fly

Unsure of ID. Red velvet mite? Clover mite? I used to be fascinated by these little guys as a kid

Pennsylvania ground beetle (Harpalus pensylvanicus). I mean, it do be hanging out in Pennsylvania, I'll give it that. I saved this one after I saw it crawl under a recliner in my parents' house

Unsure of ID. Something in the Anthidium genus. This one is dead, hanging by a single leg stuck to a flower bud.

Long-bodied cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides). They're ridiculously cute. Also I've never seen one not upside down lol.

Citrus flatid planthopper (Metcalfa pruinosa). This was my favorite (and cutest) find of the week! I thought it was a tiny bird poop, but thought I saw legs, so I zoomed in with my phone and caught this little fella! Incredible, incredible.

So there you have it for last week! In order to stop myself from getting frustrated at the lack of quality in my photos, I decided my main goal is not to take gorgeous bug photos, but instead to try and take the best photos I can with the shittiest phone camera. And I think I've done a pretty good job of testing the limits of this thing!

[that-darn-clown]

Hi I audio recorded my plot synopsis to dandy and I'm gonna post it here just because it took so long so haha get fucked

Below the cut is my rambling ass plot synopsis of the loa too many games oneshot. Spoilers ahead (obv)

So i'm voice recording this so I hope it turns out right. Basically, the plot of this one shot is that cirque du jolly (jolly is chuckle's ex wife) kidnaps Gideon so they can steal his laughter and use it to keep their carnival in business. Basically keep everyone happy. Anyways, so there's like little kerfuffle at the beginning. Like chuckles won't tell them about the note that was hammered onto their door telling them where gideon went because he doesn't want to see his ex wife.

But they eventually head to cirque du jolly and find at the front that there is a clown, a mechanical clown, that won't let them through without either five hundred gold pieces per person for tickets or a funny story from each of them, making the clown laugh. Torbek just states his life story because he says that him living in a dumpster tends to make people laugh. Chuckles goes on a rant about the horrors of marriage which isn't funny but he thinks it's kinda funny I guess. Kremy tells his famous 3 cocks and a joke story. and frost just fucking says and I quote "there was a kid who ate fire. he died." All of these stories are good enough to get them each a ticket and they head inside.

This is kind of where some misc. Fuckery goes on. The part where kremy understands gideons joke is here. The note that they got at the beginning hammered to the door said that they would have to do the funhouse to get to Gideon.

So they do the funhouse and it's fucking insane like there's a mirror room where only Kremy really knows what's going on because he actually rolls well, like rolls perception well, everyone else is freaking the fuck out they think they are each other, it's wild.

Anyways, they get into this bubble. It's like a big bubble and they can't figure out how to pop it for some fucking reason. They get fae curses whenever they eat 1 of the bubbles that's being blown inside of the bubble and one time chuckles eats one and gets a fucking deck of many things which is a big deal!!! Anyways, he draws a card and it's the motherfucking skull card. Which means he summons a wraith and has to fight it on his own. Everyone else is put in stasis. They can't help, if they do help they would get a wraith of their own and they couldn't do that cause the one shot was like two hours they didn't have the time. Anyways, before this torbek had drawn a fate card which gives you a wish but Torbek's fae curse that he got drastically lowered his intelligence. So he didn't know what the card did. He proceeded to say and I quote "I wish that were me" because there was something about getting sucked and torbeck's real into getting sucked. That's like a big inside joke. Anyways, that was a good thing because chuckles doesn't have any attack spells. So torbek fights and wins against this guy, this wraith. Frost eventually figures out he can puncture the bubble with his claw. Because he's a tiger. He can just do that.

and they get out and they get into a swan boat in the tunnel of love. For a moment here there's a weird thing where I can't remember. Someone thinks that someone is evil. And so there's a whole deal where chuckles has to like. Get them to shut up, like to forget that they ever got the fae curse. I don't know, maybe I'm remembering that wrong. Oh, also, chuckles pulled the sun card at some point. Which levels you up like 50000 experience points. So he's level nine now in a party of level threes holy shit. So they go on this boat in the tunnel of love. They have to roll to see if they're affected by another fae curse. And. And kremy and chuckles are fine but torbek and frost lose the roll. Now earlier torbek's hands had been shrunk. So now he says to frost "You'll notice that my hands are torbek sized now. And that's not the only thing that's torbek sized" So they fuck.

And eventually they make it into the part with the wheel and gideon. And I am voice recording this so I'm sorry if this part gets really weird. 'cause I'm still sad about it. Jolly has shackled Gideon to a wheel. And he's unconscious and she comes down from like the rafters. And. And she talks to chuckles and basically says that she doesn't want to get back together with him. Which is what the party thought she wanted this whole time. But she wants to kill him to use his laughter in place of Gideon's, only if the party can win gideon back. A box of knives appear and jolly states that if they hit Gideon 3 times then they lose him and if they hit the board behind Gideon 4 times then they win him back. Torbek volunteers to throw the knives. He throws one and it plunges into gideons thigh. He throws another and it hits gideon in the ribs. He's bleeding and writhes in pain. He's still unconscious but he can clearly feel it. Hooo boy. Um. Then I believe torbek draws a card. Which I can't quite remember I was crying at this point. I believe torbek draws a card which allows him to gain the like agility or dexterity needed. And he throws four knives at once and each hits the back of the board successfully. Then Gideon's mechanical fake laughter fills the room. And jolly reveals that she was never going to give gideon back.

And then they fucking end the session.

not to add to the "you need to reblog things!!!!!!" discourse but its so funny to me how all 50000 of the posts about having to reblog things will get thousands of notes and then people still dont reblog things with less than like 40 notes

[ur-localcreature2023]

I saw a poll with how many notes you’ve gotten in total with some website but the poll was over so I’m gonna give us a second chance for those who didn’t see the poll (Like me)

And here’s the link

😌 I’ve done my duty. Now for yours.

a genocide maniac / out-code that’s barely seen. he has one goal and will strive for that goal with (or without) the duo. He’s barely seen and doesn’t really show himself often; he’s in the shadows simply collecting data and infomation. 

if wanting to know about his personality or him in general, he’s hard working and treats the others (xxx! sans/frisk) with respect, but he is two-faced when it comes to his motives.

✎ does have a cannon outfit? does he have an alternative outfit? is it okay if i make an outfit for him?

he does have a casual outfit! he also has an alternative outfit!

you can make another outfit! (if you don’t mind if you can @ me? i would love to see and link them/it!)

✎ what are his abilities/powers/etc?

��me (ability): creating for the benefit of himself and xxx!frisk; not only does he get a portion of determination to survive on, but also has xxx!frisk is useful to his goal. Âme gives 10 DEF when equipped.

salvare point (weapon): after obtaining two save-points and being able to stabilize them to work as an attack instead of its true purpose, he was about to create three phases. salvare point phase one doesn’t DMG the person, but instead saves the information/data (ATK, LV, and EXP). salvare point phase two ATK is 36 but will stack if getting hit by phase two multiple times. salvare point phase three is like phase two, but 50/50 chance phase three is one shot, due to using more of the determination. (note: phase three is his weakest point in the battle and will show his true soul in the process)

information tablet (etc): studying aus and how their code functions, but he’s aware if he had more people that helped him, he could gather more information quicker. sans’ information is more based on different au’s structure and how the au works. frisk’s information is more based on different individuals themselves (who they are, what their personality is, the souls of the person/monster, and STATS). 

✎ what’s his cannon height? age?

based on this post from “fandom” called “W.D. Gaster” xxx!gaster is taller than the original gaster. (gaster = 6’5, xxx!gaster = 7’1)

i finished updating the wiki page with all of the color palettes so now i can look at them more in depth. long post i dont care sorry

we can now see snowball and chamomile, with the same base color, have pretty different palettes. chamomile adheres pretty strictly to yellow and snowball is more...i guess typical? the skin color is the color of a naked cat. chamomile is likely inspired by the plant, which is a white flower with a yellow inner.

i truly love nautical stuff so i imagine huckleberry will be a popular choice for me, with the blue and red.

twilight sparkle

this name confused me but is likely inspired by the metallic or blue weevils

slayy

i can see this becoming a really popular/sought after triple color because of the accents. lapis moontails will probably also be popular because yellow :)

sudden purple/green

really interesting palette! this would make a great color palette challenge.

also

im very happy to see a pure green palette. so pretty. green is one of my underrated colors.

these look very similar in the palettes but next to each other you can see the differences. its nice to be able to have similar colors, i bet.

Luna in the discord put this next to a picture of sprigatito and asked where i was lol so this is forever a sprigatito image now

for the bird fans. so pretty :)

for the pastel girlies (me)

the purple and orange are really interesting for this color!

gold references silver but silver doesnt reference gold lol.

one of the colors of all time

i imagine bellpeppers as red or green and not yellow, so happy to see my other colors of pepper included somehow. what a bold palette

neapolitan baby!!!!

the green for fire is really interesting! i feel like i'd have gone with a brown (sort of like logs for it) instead, but this is such a varied palette.

very beachy :)

have you seen my son

the different colors remind me of like...strawberries and blueberries. this color makes me hungry

soooo pretty

the grey like the skin on the salmon? very fun blue and yellow

another tasty color

if it were 2016 tumblr you can take a pic of this and post it and get 50000 notes

the new color to balance out hound and bring us up to an odd number. how pretty!

i usually make my fursonas purple with green so i appreciate the rep

i've hit too many images per post but imagine g3 wysteria here

i guess ill make another post

I rate different versions of two POTC characters

Recently I found out that Pirates of the Caribbean has a manga series of its own. And some comic books. And a LEGO game, though that wasn’t as big a surprise and was honestly more pleasant than not.

ANYWAY here I will rate the different Cutler Becketts because it was quite a ride for me.

I will also rate the different Norringtons if I end up feeling like it while writing the post. (Note: I did end up doing this.)

Movie Beckett

The original. 2/10.

Might be a good character story-wise but overall very hateable. Smug asshole.  Everyone loves to hate him. (Which means the actor did a great job.)

If he existed IRL I'd want to be 50000 miles away from him. Apparently his past is really messed up but you don't find out about any of that through the movies. Might have been a better person if he had a better childhood, but then again the same goes for a lot of villains.

On the list of characters I consider interesting, he is right down there in the burning trash dump with Cave Johnson. Maybe even lower. At least he accepted defeat when the time came and went out with some dignity.

Manga Beckett

AbSoLuTe fUcKiNg CyCLe pATh.  0.5/10.

Might as well be the reason I started this post.

Why is he like that. Why does he have eyeliner. Why is he so... anime villain-y.

He's supposed to be someone who keeps his face straight. Why does he seem to be constantly expressing with every single facial muscle that he is batshit insane.

Movie Beckett at least drinks tea like a normal person. This guy looks like he'd shove the entire teacup into his mouth and just munch it whole while staring directly into your eyes. Also his version of Mercer lacks eyebrows for some reason.

He gets half a point because there are some characters who were, unfortunately, butchered even more than him.

Lego Beckett

Gremlin. 5/10.

He's kinda goofy compared to the other three and also absolutely tiny. He literally strains just to see the camera half the time. You cannot help but laugh at this man. He is also considerably less harmful, given the... nature of the Lego world... and that the worst he can do is order that a bunch of fruit (plus the occasional livestock) be thrown at people.

The only regret - quoting @nebbychan - is that they didn't make his wig taller to compensate for height.

That one comic book Beckett 

The not-Beckett. -10/10. Note the minus sign.

That's just not him. There's no way you can convince me that's him.

It feels a bit like the artist went out of their way to emphasize the characters' appearances but this here is not how caricature works. Maybe they were looking at a different person.

That's not him. That's Pirate Extra #23 in a wig.

That being said, Norrington looks pretty horrible in here too - more on that later.

Alright, now for Norrington.

Movie Norrington

The original. 10/10.

An honorable man. People love to love him. Did not deserve what he got.

Not much to say.

Manga Norrington

Evil Twin Nottington (quoting @dirgeofcerberus111). 3/10.

Why does he look like a one-off side villain from the Hobbit movies. He deadass has that evil grin stuck on his face throughout most of the book. And that up top is NOT what he said in the movie.

Instead of anger stemming from the sense of being wronged and losing everything, this man right here is fueled by bloodlust. Dude looks like he'd murder Will Turner in cold blood without the slightest quiver in that manic grin. Set this guy up on the Dutchman and he could throw Davy Jones overboard.

Losing his ship didn’t just make him a wasted drunk; it turned him into an entirely different man on a molecular level.

What is this man.

Lego Norrington

Carrot man. 6/10.

Sorry my dude, it might not be your fault that you were mistakenly delivered a carrot on your promotion day, but I am going to remember you as 'carrot man' because of that nevertheless.

For some reason, he lacks hair save for when he is not wearing a hat. Unlike Beckett’s, his wig is a magic wig that disappears when placed under a hat.

He looks unnecessarily mean-spirited in Dead Man’s Chest. When he gives Davy Jone's heart (which, by the way, wears a miniature hat. Yes, the heart wears a hat) to Beckett, he's not a wrecked man trying to regain some honor and a smidge of his past life. He's like 'Oh yeah give me that admiral sword, hand it right over.'

But he also slaps Davy Jones with a fish and kind of almost survives if it can be called that, so he gets some points.

That one comic book Norrington

Tames Jorringnon. 0/10.

Barely recognizable. Makes me wonder if they kept the wig because otherwise it would be nearly impossible for readers to understand that this is indeed James Norrington, the wig man.

They did somehow remember to take his prominent nose into consideration, but said fuck it to everything else.

Who is this.

No.

NaNoWriMo is an altogether serious and whimsical challenge: let’s write and write and write and let creativity fly! Don’t take yourself too seriously and get words on paper and have some hilarious fun in the process (even when the going gets hard: it’s still supposed to feel good to have done!).

(For the uninitiated: NaNoWriMo challenges you to write 50000 words in the month of November. I choose to embrace the NaNo Rebel spirit and focus on general creativity without the pressure.)

So, to encourage, help combat perfectionist stress, and embrace the silliness of it all: I hereby solemnly vow to post my daily NaNo cartoon-of-the-day in all its sketching-imperfect glory. I hope you brings a smile to your faces and can help you stay motivated when you find yourself struggling. We can DO this together!

In eons past, I always loved reading the daily NaNo toons and cartoons published. (Both the official ones and the ones in my region by HannahK). I am excited to embrace the challenge and follow in the footsteps of those giants that went before.

I would love to hear from you if you enjoy the daily drawing, they bring a smile to your face or encourage you somehow! So, do drop me a note and let’s face this NaNo challenge head-on!

[neonghostcat]

NaNoWriMo: Word goal complete!

50426 / 50000 total words (Scroll down for the excerpt!)

That's 43,181 words of the Fantasy Farm Life Liushen fic, divided across 9 chapters. (Meaning an average of 4,798 words per chapter.)

I'm going to keep writing, of course. But I had to basically force myself the last few days. Only my desire to get that "updated every day of NaNoWriMo" badge on the NaNo website is going to get me to continue to write daily -- but I'm still hoping to finish the story arc by the end of the month.

I'm still shocked that I'm over 40k deep into the fic and only this far in my outline. I guess it's going to be one of those situations where I'll write what's in my outline and not the stuff that I just sort of handwaved over like, "idk, farming stuff here" between the plot stuff I actually did write down more detailed notes for. If readers are like, "Yo, I love all of this daily life on a fantasy farm stuff!" I can always sneak an extra chapter or scene in every so often to break up the plot.

I probably will only post occasional updates on my progress for now, just because I think it'd be more interesting to see it finished than hear me rambling about writing it!

Here is the last scene I've worked on. Keeping in mind I've trimmed some of the plot stuff since it'd be confusing not knowing what it's referring to and it's also unpolished.

Excerpt:

When they reached the homestead again, Liu Qingge left the bucket of fish outside while he went in to get the little stove that looked as if it hadn’t been touched in over a decade, if not longer.

“I’ll cook,” he said, bringing it out so that the cooking smells wouldn’t get trapped inside.

“It’s fine,” Shen Yuan said, moving over to take over setting up the stove. Liu Qingge was relieved he at least seemed to have the general idea of how to use it. “I’ve cooked before…”

Liu Qingge had a bad feeling about this, but said, “Then I’ll clean the fish while you get things ready.” At the very least, once the fish was gutted it was a little more difficult to do badly at cooking it.

Shen Yuan turned to give him a somewhat stunned look as if it had never occurred to him to clean the fish. His misgivings grew.

“Will you? Thanks!”

“…en.”

Out of sheer respect for the fish, Liu Qingge handed Shen Yuan the smallest one first to see how he handled it. And then watched with fascination as Shen Yuan confidently charred the poor sacrifice, apparently spending most of the cooking time staring off at the courtyard before belatedly remembering what he was doing and turning the fish to another side.

It finally caught on fire as if the fish’s soul was protesting its mistreatment. Yelping and flailing, Shen Yuan extinguished the flames and stared uncomprehendingly at the fish-shaped bit of charcoal left behind.

There was an awkward silence before Shen Yuan looked back at him and, on seeing his utterly impassive expression, hung his head.

[...]

“…I’ll be in charge of cooking.”

“…en.”
