#id in alt#ultrakill#ultracats#mannequin#gutterman#minotaur#guttertank#1000 THR earthmover#big johninator#vm's art#gutterman was done already so its not included - mannequin was also done previously but i changed its tail so it gets a new one#and earthmover was only done with the silhouette shown in the teasers so i decided to update its design also#speaking of - gutterman/guttertank are both âgutternyanâ because i couldnt come up with a different pun. lol#hence the added âfaust paw-zerâ to differentiate the two

some tips for writing flow
i've had a lot of comments complimenting my writing style, most of which don't know how to explain or describe what they like about it. i never really knew either, but i've been paying more attention to the way i write things lately, in the hope of being able to understand and explain it.
a lot of this is "based on feel" with no hard and fast rules, but there's also very tangible techniques you can hopefully work into your own writing, if that makes sense? idk is this anythingâ
1 - sentence beats, and alternating them.
this is probably the biggest thing in my writing. i've realised my sentences can be measured in beats, based on their length and how many sections they can be broken into. the pattern changes often, and i don't have a concrete rule in how i fill a paragraph (again, i've only just put words to any of this), but it's probably the most important part of my flow. let's have a look:
1 beat: âą this is probably the biggest thing in my writing.
2 beats: âą i've realised my sentences can be measured in beats âą based on their length and how many sections they can be broken into.
3 beats: âą the pattern changes often âą and i don't have a concrete rule in how i fill a paragraph âą but it's probably the most important part of my flow.
it looks like a favour certain patterns, the only real "rule" i use is to construct a paragraph with various beats, and never put two side by side. whenever i'm struggling with my flow, it's usually because i've put two of the same beats next to each other and everything feels either stiff or crowded. i rarely put two side by side, unless it's for specific emphasis.
the other exception are paragraph breaks: these are a pause for breath, and allow us to reset the pattern. i often start and end my paragraphs with single beat sentences, and it doesn't feel like they're running on because there's that lovely breath between them.
2 - short paragraphs
the rule we learn in school is that new paragraphs are for new ideas. convert this to prose, and we can consider "ideas" to include the character's thoughts, new narrative tangents, and physical movement around a scene.
one of my biggest struggles reading "bad" fanfic is when paragraphs are too lumped together. crowley will walk into the bookshop, see aziraphale across the way, wander over to a shelf, select a book, then pour himself a drink all in one big chunk. i can't parse that. there doesn't have to be a new line break for every new action, but grouping the relevant ones together and breaking in between broad motions (i.e. walking across a room, acknowledging a character) can help ease readers through the scene.
paragraphs are a breath, not only for sentence flow, but for processing the action within a story. similarly, purposefully keeping multiple actions confined to a single paragraph can make them feel quicker, while breaking them up into multiple paragraphs will slow down the pacing (even if the amount of detail describing each action is the same). included some examples because i'm struggling to explain this one
3 - mixing metaphors
this might sound less flow related, but i used to struggle with it a lot as a young writer, and paying more attention to it has definitely helped clean up my flow and writing overall.
i love a good analogy, but it can be easy to get carried away, and this can bog down the prose. my personal rule is that i can get silly with my metaphors (see: the mon chéri magnet), but i can only use one at a time. no talking about the magnet in aziraphale's chest and the angel and demon on his shoulder within the same scene.
if i'm getting silly and long winded with a metaphor, i also try to limit the length of it to one or two paragraphs. paragraph 1: set up the metaphor, establish the analogy. paragraph 2: come back to the reality of the scene, then mention the metaphor once more to link it all together. if i'm feeling cheeky, then i mention the metaphor again ONCE in passing, a couple of paragraphs or even chapters later
the magnet was a fun one, because i kind of flipped how i would usually present a metaphor, with the long winded tangent coming last instead of being the set up. and even though i used the metaphor 3 times, it felt like 2 because the set up was really just a planted seed for what i'd be mentioning later in the theatre. referencing the "whispered curse in the dark" also helped tie the scenes together and keep the analogies neat and tidy in our heads
meanwhile i got a little more carried away with the space metaphor in postcards (i feel like there's probably a 4th and maybe even 5th mention during the bookshop scene), but each one was blink-and-you'll-miss-it brief that didn't slog down the prose.
4 - avoiding repetitive pronouns
we're all going to struggle with this, and i don't have a secret hack for avoiding a wall of "he this, he that, he then," and i honestly try not to beat myself up over it too much. but there are two things i check to make sure it's not getting too repetitive:
1. looking within a paragraph
apparently everything revolves around paragraphs and the breath between them lmao. i don't have a strict rule like "use the character's name once per paragraph, then 'he' for the rest" or anything like that, but it's in that kind of vein. i simply pay attention to one paragraph at a time to watch for too much repetition, and if i notice it's been one or two whole blocks without switching from 'he' to a name, i'll chuck one in to break it up.
2. paragraph starters
this is so picky. and i don't know if it does ANYTHING, but it bugs me when i'm writing and i notice every paragraph starts the same way. maybe it has no effect on the flow at all. but i like to make sure my paragraphs aren't starting with the same "he" "he" "he", and that forces me to go back and switch around the pronouns in recent sentences, so the next paragraph can flow on more smoothly.
5 - use interruptions appropriately
edit: sneaking this one in here as a final thought! i just want to mention the use of em-dashes, semicolons, footnotes, and parenthesis mid-sentence. it's common to favour one in particular, but each have spectacular uses and can add miles to the pacing and flow of your prose.
em-dash (â) interruptions, cutting off dialogueâ pausing to make a point â like this â in the middle of a sentence.
semicolon (;) helps with making lists and continuing a compound sentence that doesn't really link with 'and' or 'but'; when you want to pause, but a new sentence would break the flow of things.
footnotes (Âč) these should be optional additions to the text imo. you should be able to keep reading without looking at the footnotes and not lose an ounce of story. they're additive, not necessary.
parenthesis ( () ) a great way to interrupt yourself (less sharply) than with em-dashes, include longer pieces of information (like what you might put in a footnote, except more crucial to the narrative that you don't want people to miss!) and adding sass (lol) and tone to your prose.

I see Arcane's marketing is thrusting a lot of blue on Jinx's persona, which is fine, but also a misdirection! I argue that the use of blue on Jinx represents THE IDEA that others have of Jinx rather than representing who Jinx really is. Jinx's true color, the one she paints over those closest to her, the one that represents her is PINK. Jinx is pink!
When we see Jinx in pieces either in or out of show where blue is the predominant color in the palette it's signaling to us the audience that this the Jinx that is perceived by the world around her, which includes Piltover AND Zaun. In this essay I will---
#arcane#arcane meta#jinx arcane#it feels wrong that the she's defined by blue in the teaser and marketting and even the murals#sure it's an eye-catching color but that's not jinx#it feels almost like the same mistake vi made with the whole jinx-powder dichotomy#jinx once defined by bright blue but over time that color has gradually receded from her outfit where it's more dominated by dark hues#and purple and pink#but now this misunderstanding is on a larger scale because now jinx is a symbol and is up for interpretation#like it's very interestingbthat for all the art done of jinx none has been the right shade of blue it's either light and natural in zaun#but unnaturally cold in piltover#it's what either one wants out of jinx#but the art where jinx is truly a part of it and alive is where dark palette and bright pink take over#idk it just feels like adding more blue just washes out the depth of jinx's design#it'll probably be super annoying when jinx's bday comes and people are giving her blue colored gifts#and she'd be thinking âgoodgoodgreat... my favorite color is pinkâ#but she won't say anything bcuz a lot of the gifts are from children or something

#galarian slowpoke#picture this. this was the first pokĂ©mon revealed from the new DLCs for pokĂ©mon sword and shield. the pokĂ©mon company#up until this pointâ has never done DLC for a pokĂ©mon game before. youâ having been jaded by shitty DLCs for other games in the past#now have a distaste for the phraseâ and imagine this can't be good. thenâ in their teaser for the new DLCâ they add a little event#into the game where they reveal one of the new pokĂ©mon that is going to be added in the DLC#and it is a galarian form. that is identical to the original pokĂ©mon. but with a yellow head#are you imagining it. now how fucking disappointed are you. how little faith do you have in that DLC that it's going to be as good as it wa#for the most partâ the pokĂ©mon company has demonstrated that they do absolutely excellent DLCs. proper expansions#basically an entire other game on top of the game you already have. and they typically take up the release cycle of a full game#scarlet/violet's especially. WONDERFUL dlc. i never really properly finished the crown tundra just because i was so late to the party#because i avoided buying the dlc for so long because of this experience that i've just described to you#that by the time i bought it and played itâ it was just because SV had been announced and i wanted more pokĂ©mon to tide me over#and i never finished it. one of these daysâ i'd like to go back and finish itâ but i'm playing through pokĂ©mon xd gale of darkness right no#and i prefer to play. one game at a time. and i don't know when i'll ever really get back to it#or if i'll ever get back to it! 'cause without resetting my save file all the way i'll just have to Remember what it is that already happen#which i'm. notoriously bad at when it comes to coming back to games that i haven't played in a while#plus i know sv is like shitty performance or whatever but the movement in that game is so much better#it feels so much more freeing than going back to gen 8 where you can still just. run. and that's it#i know nobody likes scarlet/violet but i still. like it. performance aside. like yes the performance is terrible but i still had a great#time with it. i just praised its DLC for fuck's sake! its DLC was fuckin wonderful! it has kieran in it so it like can't be bad

Should „XX,000,000 Make Fushiguro's Shit Worth It? - taster
àŒ synopsis - Being Toji Fushiguro's in-house private solicitor may pay well, but recently you're reconsidering if the pay makes all the stress (read: Toji himself) worth it. At this point, with all the less-than-legal actions Toji commits on the regular, you're practically a certified mob lawyer.Â
"Mr. Fushiguro, it's-" you squint at the clock on your nightstand. "-4 in the morning." "Get here now." The deep growl in his voice makes you scramble out of bed - and something pool in your stomach. "Right away, sir," You chirp. Much more obediently.  "Good girl." He purrs back. ?!?!? The disconnect tone on your phone plays for a full minute as you sit frozen.
àŒ series tags - toji fushiguro x reader; lawyer! reader; no curses; yakuza/organised crime; violence; explicit content; dilf! toji; tags to be added
<< N/A || ch. 1 OUT NOW >>
( ă-ÂŽ)ă„ïž»âŠÌ”Ì”Ìżâ€ââ \(ËâËâ)/
âYou know, you really shouldnât smoke.â
High-heeled shoes clicked against the floor of the rundown bar, a sagging tote filled to the brim with court documents unceremoniously plopping onto the barstool next to Toji Fushiguroâs lone frame. The bartender didnât even greet you, knowing you werenât here to drink but just to fetch Toji.Â
A hand intercepted the fresh cigarette in Tojiâs hand. So fresh, he hadnât even had the chance to set down the lighter.Â
He turned to you, raising a brow. The incredulous look on his face increased by two more points at the sight of the cigarette now in between your lips. You inhaled the nicotine, tugging the cigarette from your parted lips to blow the haze out with a tilted head. The tenseness in your face relaxed as the sensation of the drug entered your system.Â
You rarely, if ever, smoked, but the recent events really did call for it.Â
âYouâre smoking my cigarette.â You had been working with Fushiguro long enough to know when he was actually annoyed, and this was nowhere close.
You rolled your eyes, snuffing the cigarette out on the ashtray next to Toji. âWith all the stress you give me, I need it more than you.â A pause. Maybe that wasnât the right thing to say. âAnd you shouldnât smoke anyway, youâre the one with the kid.â
âI could put a kid in you, easy enough.â Toji smirked.
Externally, you looked as unperturbed as ever, ignoring his quip to rifle for his document in your tote. That was what you were here for, afterall. Externally, you were the image of a perfectly professional lawyer.Â
Internally, you had just creamed your underwear.Â
