#the character in question?

[imsopopfly]

Part of me wants to join a group like this and flag all their Classic Sacred Cow Games as woke using their own ridiculous standards. Just. Absolutely ruin their childhoods or maybe even make them realize how ridiculously fragile they’re being

[kimabutch]

One of my favourite questions for figuring out a character’s motivations is which qualities they most fear being assigned to them. Are they afraid (consciously or unconsciously) of being seen as stupid? Ungrateful? Weak? Incompetent? Lazy? Cowardly? Intimidating? Like they actually care? etc.

It’s such a fun way to explore into who they are, why they do what they do, what they don’t do out of fear, and how they might be affected by the events of the story. And I love when characters have negative motivations—trying to avoid something (in this case, being seen a particular way) as much as they’re trying to achieve a goal.

IM SORRY IVE BEEN BUSY MAKING THIS LEVITY RISES INTRO ANIMATIC

song by @maddiesmiles I love her she's so cool

Swaps to note from this:

Bill Cypher // Smile dip Puppies

Read about them here

The altered intro end was moreso to reference the animatics unused one!

Darlene // Paul Bunyan

(Yeah this does mean mason fails to flirt with him Paul, half because he knows he's a cryptid ithink. Paul probably turns into a blue minotaur maybe. As for Darlene, she's probably just a super frequent ad mascot)

Waddles // The axolotl

(the axolotl is called wades! Bc of this change, at the end of the summer Mason doesn't get his memories back immediately- it takes a few months)

Zombies // Gnomes

(I thought flipping the premise of the first episode would be fun, plus, tiny sentient zombies and tall garden gnome like cryptids that kinda stand there sound COOL)

I've been seeing the messages in the inbox, I'll get to answering them soon 😭😭😭

i dont think fandom people who only think about male characters and only create content for male characters are like horrible misogynists but i do think they often have some shit they need to unpack. like how can you , for example, play life is strange and the only thing you come away with from that is you want nathan and warren to fuck nasty. how can you watch birds of prey, and the only thing you come away with from that is you want roman and victor to fuck nasty......... like idk! idk! i just find it strange especially when people will engage with media Specifically about women and then put no effort in to empathize or care about them, sometimes even going far enough to say they HATE the female characters and that theyre bitches... IDK!!!!

Bald Idia will be in my nightmares thank you so much for this 5,000,000/10

genuinely I did have a little moment of "I'm going to get absolutely razzed for pre-hair Idia, aren't I" and yet I hit post anyway, truly this is the price we pay for dedicating ourselves to our art. 🫡 (jk jk it's all good, you are having the correct reaction here.)

man, I know the question of what happens when Idia's hair gets wet has been a subject of much debate in the fandom, ranging everywhere from "instant bald" to "it turns into normal hair" (the real answer is probably a boring "nothing, because magic" but we'll find out soon enough, fingers crossed). however I do kind of like the idea of him having a secret, smaller hairstyle underneath that must remain hidden for...reasons.
