Finding bullshit in my WIP stash.

… Yes.

[scribe-cas]

okay, okay, i have a question about couteau. (every time i write his name i pray i've written this correctly)

so in response to my last ask you have described him as- *checks notes* "such an ass" and "downright bastard". but from his previous descriptions he seemed like a really chill guy. i mean yeah he does some murder here and there, but even here, those are usually assholes, so there's at least the tiniest bit of good intentions there.

ANYWAY yes. my question. i am curious about his personality. could you say something more about that?? is he an ass ass or is he just insufferable but in a /affectionate way?? i am intrigued

HKSKSKNANXDD

I love the fact that I bully him enough that you asked this-

(You did write his name correct btw good job-)

Okay so here is the thing. His level of ‘bastard’ depends entirely on who you are.

He is, at all times, a bastard (affectionate). And that’s only because I know what a snarky prick he can be /w love

Just for reference, here is some of my top tier Couteau content.

Couteau is one of my favorite characters to write, in the fact that he’s usually at least a little snarky, a little full of awful humor, and a lot of heart.

He’s a dangerous guy, I’ll give him that, and his one liners as he hauls tied up men off in the back of his car are not always perfect. (I say, knowing that they rarely ever are, but no one who isn’t getting toted off to be murdered knows this he does it on purpose so that the only people who know he’s bad at improvising are dead)

Couteau has a bit of an immortality complex. He’s gotten past his ‘humanity’ and has somewhat forgotten what it’s like to just be a person. He doesn’t consider himself human, and does his best to act like one anyways.

When really, all that’s changed is his perception of himself- and despite the fact that he can punch a man in the face without feeling any remorse, and can regularly stand the crushing guilt most of us would face if we had to cook up an actual, real person for dinner- he hasn’t escaped it at all. And you can tell he cares.

He’s very good at pretending nothing bothers him, and honestly, a lot of it doesn’t, because if you partake in anything long enough, it becomes normal. And he can make the best of whatever situation is handed to him if need be. However, he is also filled with a special kind of rage from having to ‘make due’ for so long, which comes out in unhealthy coping mechanisms (like murder.)

He’s an adrenaline junkie. He can catch most people in a lie from 20 yards away from nothing but a gut feeling. If given the chance, he’d definitely be a gambling addict, but he doesn’t ever indulge. He likes to play games, and more than that, loves to travel.

I’m- I’m not positive?? but I am 90% sure he’s got autism. He’s good at being social but only because he’s thoroughly studied it, practice by practice. It comes easily to him now, but in the way a script would. He’s sound sensitive. He has his routines and despite being a bit sporadic when it comes to choices, he tends to stick to them, especially in times of need. He’s got echolalia (he repeats sounds and words he’s heard that he likes, on impulse, for no reason.) along with a million other things. But i am too sleepy to write them all rightnow.

Couteau is intelligent, but not at all mature (unless it’ll benefit him in some way.), and manipulative, but to a point. He sees it as a means to an end.

However

On the other hand, he struggles with PTSD pretty badly. He copes with dissociation, which doesn’t help with that warped self image and thinking that nothing bothers him, along with the fact that he will sometimes ignore his own boundaries, leading to him and others getting hurt.

He’s got insomnia, a touch aversion, and used to struggle massively with eating. He’s fine with and used to it now, but 300 years ago when he was dropped down into hell? He couldn’t even speak due to the amount of pressure he was under.

He’s gotten very good at managing it, and keeping his breakdowns quiet, along with finding things that make it easier, such as downing a shot of bourbon on a really bad night, or having a few puffs of a cigarette that doesn’t bother his allergies before he has to take someone out. He copes mainly with a lot of fucked up humor, although very few know him well enough to hear the jokes.

But there’s still a part of him that never got that healing break down. His closure has never come.

His main motivation is to just continue his life, because his last one ended far too soon.

And he’s working to avoid someone he cares about. But is slowly finding that just because one is gone does not mean there isn’t room for more. :>

He’s morally grey, sometimes he has to kill an innocent, and it fucks him up on the inside, but he also escorts people home and keeps drunk parents away from their children and murders men who beat their wives.

He just. Kinda is.

If you ask him, he’ll say he’s a villain, because he enjoys bringing pain.

What you consider him is none of his business.

But one time, a little girl called him a hero, and he didn’t stick around to let her see him smile.

Hope this helps!

I've been old, I've been young. I've been all sorts of shapes and sizes. I've been brave and a coward, bright and dark, warm and cold, and everything in between. I've loved and I've had my hearts broken, and I've broken many hearts as well. I've been a warrior and a peacemaker, a friend and a fighter, the Oncoming Storm and the One Who Stops The Monsters. I may not remember where I came from. I may not ever remember. But I know who I've been these last four billion years, give or take. I've seen plenty of beautiful places and met wonderful people, and all of them have made me Who I am today. I'm the Doctor. Deal with it.

Either a deleted bit of script from the climax of the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special "The Church on Ruby Road", or something I just made up because I fantasize about writing for this show.

I have to do heavy revisions on chapter 3 to improve how it plays into the narrative of Lynn's phase 2 arc, which is annoying because booo heavy revisions, but at least I get experiment with the dialogue for characters who have nothing serious going on with them at this point in the story again

clois comic wip continues,,, i'm blasting "I Won't Say I'm In Love" as I post this you could say it's fitting

[staticfangs]

god i read the unproduced origins: magneto script and i’m so unwell about it i gotta talk about it for a sec because im lowkey fixating over this movie that WASNT EVEN MADE.

i won’t spoil much for those who want to read it themselves (i’ll link it below) but it was written pre-first class so the cherik lore is different but i fuck with it lowkey. erik is like this muscular construction worker trying to make a living for himself and he decides to travel for his nazi manhunt and meets therapist (psychologist?idk really) charles who runs an institution in israel hoping he can help him through his painful memories of the holocaust.

plus there’s literally a part where charles and erik are in this bar and take down some thugs together and run away from the cops holding hands and laughing. like this might as well be called the cherik origins let’s be real.

tbh this script gave me some inspo for a fic because it’s given me so much insight on erik as a character and i feel the need to write this beautiful trope. we were SO ROBBED

Devlog Update #2!

*checks calender*

Guys.

Guys, it's been a month.

HOW HAS IT BEEN A MONTH ALREADY?!

So much has happened and it feels like no time passed at all!

Alright-y then! First off, let's talk stats.

Since its mighty release during the Otome Jam 2024, the demo is sitting at 2,200+ download, has been added to 1,000 lovely libraries, and according to comments and reviews, people are loving it and wanting more!

At risk of sounding like a broken record, we cannot thank everyone enough for enjoying the demo so much and wanting to learn more about the boys. It truly warms our hearts; we never fathomed that it would gain an interest as big as it did! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Okay, okay so enough of that – we promise we will leave the rest of the thank yous once the game is fully released

So let's summarize what’s happened in the last month dev wise!

Plotting commenced with writers already having planned out the key moments of each LI’s route

THE WRITING OFFICIALLY STARTED!!

Talking about writing, we have crunched the numbers and came to a figure of a minimum of 95k words for the full game

Each LI will have three endings to their name

The game will be partially voiced

A recent poll told us you wanna know ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about the game dev, The Boys, and just all the memes

Plenty of asks have come through about The Boy and we have enjoyed both giving and withholding info about them

Oh! And we have started creating the NPCs you will see in game!

So much has happened in such a small amount of time, and that’s in-between some of the team joining other jams and IRL stuff!

But there is one really big update that we wanted to share and that is...

OZ! Your best friend and confidant!

They are an asexual non-binary person who goes by any pronouns, but with a preference for they/him – also incredibly non-romanceable (sorry, we know they look amazing but they are your greatest platonic friend and won't be anything more than that).

(concept design may change)

Soon, so very soon we will be able to give you so many more hints of the game, but for now, we hope you enjoy theorizing what is going to happen and wanting to learn more about our darling boys!

Something a little different, but I've been toying around with prose recently and wrote a little short story about Verity's old crew!

What's currently posted is the first half of a rough chapter idea I have planned- I gotta hash out exactly what I wanna do for the back half, but I think the first part stands okay on its own! Look out for a continuation in the future, though :>

[ryutarotakedown]

hey ive always been curious how do you know you have an actual script and not a fake or something. like i can think of one fandom debacle with a fake script

I totally get it (have also seen a few fake script debacles in fandoms) and I was very skeptical of these scripts at first, for sure, but there’s a few points which I think make it safe to say the scripts are real:

There's pretty much no inconsistencies between these scans and the official scripts we do have. You can compare the scanned hard copies we have to the official releases (in 2009, 2020 and 2024) and see they're very much the same as to form, so it would be very elaborate and impressive fanfiction for these to be fake. Additionally, we have a few duplicates that are either identical or are earlier/later revisions and completely align, save the noted revisions

The scripts have revealed cut/deleted scenes we had stills or promo snippets for but had never seen the entirety of the scenes. I guess, again, it could be fanfiction built around those items, but, again, that seems unfathomably impressive for someone to achieve

I've talked to all of RCG, individually, about items in the scripts, and all of the context I had was correct/known by them, so it's hard to imagine that would be possible if the scripts were fake

Similar to the RCG point, Bryan, their OG assistant, turned creative executive on Sunny who provided the 2020 Scripts, has not only engaged with some of the stuff I've posted about the scanned scripts but has personally sent me a script...so short of him fucking with me, it's safe to say they are legit

And all of the physical scanned scripts in the Drive are from the same person, so besides a sworn statement from RCG that they're all real, I think the evidence is damning lol
