#the world would be my oyster...

[thecodeveronica]

So I'm in the unfamiliar position of having multiple WIP ideas right now (usually I'm lucky to have even one), and I'm at a standstill on what to be working on. And because I love to yap even if only to myself, I'm gonna post them here to make myself feel accountable in some way lol. My current ideas/WIPs (under the cut) are:

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia fic -Multi-chapter fic set after the game ends, revolves around Shanoa and Albus, the latter of whom is found under mysterious circumstances that end up setting other events into motion + is tied to the increasing numbers of monsters and other unnatural phenomenon.

-The most "serious" of my fic ideas, and the one I have the most notes for. This one also is one of the few ideas I've had where I have a clear "antagonist" in mind, and I think a twist about them is actually pretty cool if I could execute it well. Big "IF" there lol, but yeah.

-Themed around the ideas of trust and family primarily, trust being the "big" one in my mind, with both Shanoa and Albus wanting what's best for the other, but how to achieve that might not be what the other would want.

-Actually have some progress on this one, though scene transitions are my mortal enemy and the cause of a current standstill :x But I reaaaaaaly want to get to the next part for a scene that has been in my nightly SFW btw!!!! before-bed fantasies for, like, months now haha have i mentioned again recently that i'm unwell about albus, because i am, oh god am i ever

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow fic -One-shot fic set after the game ends; more of a melancholic tone but with a warm ending than anything too serious. Would focus on Arikado, who is —bear with me here, I know this sounds dumb in a vacuum without context lmao— roped into attending a fancy dance/ball while kinda chaperoning Soma and Mina... but Soma accidentally let the event slip to others, so pretty much the entire AoS/DoS crew attends, too.

-Arikado ends up reflecting on his past and Yoko forces him to try to live in the moment, even if someone like him lives a much less fleeting existence than her or the others. and Hammer doesn't like that haha

-I have some notes on this one, too. Not super in-depth, but this isn't exactly plot-heavy, so I could probably knock this one-shot out fairly quick (by my standards) if I sat my fidgety ass down and focused. But on the other hand, because this one doesn't involve my FAVE fave characters, that might make it harder to motivate me, even if I like the concept. Alucard, Soma, Yoko, etc are cool, but they're not Albus-level to me by any means, or Jonathan-level either haha

Ace Attorney fic -Multi-chapter fic (but almost certainly shorter than the Order of Ecclesia one), intended to be tonally consistent with the writing of the series. So sometimes serious, but also a bit silly. Would start off "normal," thinking it starts in media res sorta mid-trial. Maybe after a recess? But it shifts into a zombie story and all hell breaks loose, but like... in a funny way? Mostly? This is still very much an idea in its infancy and was mostly born out of a few bits of dialogue I thought of that I got attached to lol, so still working out details.

-...if you're wondering "Haley, did this all start just because you thought of something with Blackquill and now you're trying to haphazardly form a plot around it" the answer is... I plead the fifth 😎

-Main viewpoint character would probably be Phoenix, though. I think he'd make the most sense and also be the easiest to write with his inner thoughts. And the most fun to write. I dunno. Like I said, this whole idea needs to stew a little more, though I have a tiny bit of notes jotted down.

-I think the biggest issue with this one is that I'm not sure what the "end goal" is. Does it all culminate in figuring out why a zombie outbreak happened at all? Maybe tying it into whatever case the fic starts with in media res? Who knows!!! One of my greatest weaknesses as a writer is that I only think of scattered scenes that are loosely connected but with no beginning or end for a cohesive work in mind. And that happens with literally everything I write lmaoooo but it's worked out fine so far, so I'm sure I could figure it out here. ...I hope.

Resident Evil fic -one-shot fic (I still want to write a long Resi one someday😭), something for a Resident Evil rarepair event for New Year's. Some of those prompts are veeeeery appealing and cute fluff nonsense is kind of my comfort zone tbh. Really want to do another Burnfield fic and some kind of friendly snowball fight is the first thing that come to mind? Sherry being there too might be kinda cute? But this is the idea that is the absolute fuzziest so I DUNNO

SOOOOO anyway I hope I get a sudden surge of motivation to work on one of these! Guess we'll see!!

turns out touching random summoning circles is a great way to summon random entities. who woulda thunk it?

if DC was based instead of inexplicably deciding to shunt Cass off to Hong Kong where she would be seen like 3 times before coming back in Gates of Gotham they could have instead made a story about her globe trotting and being a nameless vigilante all across the world while also pairing that with flashbacks of her lost days between ages 8-17. Because her story then is that of a nameless child constantly on the move until she meets Barbara and is given her first identity—Batgirl. Paired then with her after losing that very identity at the request of Bruce and once again becoming anonymous and nameless. Thinking of stories where Cass accidentally ends up in places she went through as a child. It’s similar but different because despite the loneliness and the loss she’s still grown from that horrific place she once was. She’s lost Batgirl again but she can’t lose the experience and the love and the growth she had when she carried that name. She doesn’t have the mantle but she still has herself.

During a time where women, especially women in South Korea (Where Vivinos, a lesbian, lives) have been for a long time and are still facing heavy waves misogyny and discrimination and politics are going back it's kinda disappointing to see the eng and kr and jp sides of the alnst fandom on twitter misunderstand Mizi so much, especially when this comic is a commentary on the societal perspective of women and lesbians "Mizi just dislikes the idea of mating" (dismissing the fact that she very blatantly says she's against the whole "men and women belong together thing), "Mizi being disgusted by the opposite sex and getting infatuated with a same sex friend is a straight girl move", "well nothing is confirmed still so 𝔀𝓱𝔂 𝓬𝓪𝓷'𝓽 𝓶𝓲𝔃𝓲 𝓫𝓮 𝓫𝓲𝓼𝓮𝔁𝓾𝓪𝓵", "this comic ruined Mizi's character" (even though it's just recontextualizing some of what we've already know) <- (general stuff I've seen being said here and there on twit or tt 🤦) even though its very obvious none of that is true, and thinking that way is very blatantly ignorant to what we're reading, Mizi doesn't like being seen as a passive symbolic object, she doesn't like being seen as the object of someones desires, a pretty girl that they just want, she doesn't like it when boys expect her to reciprocate their feelings because it's what they're told to do, especially because she very clearly only sees her male friends as friends and loves Sua, when she's being herself and not following the norm she's punished for it. If it wasn't already obvious before, Mizi is lesbian. But the thing people say is almost akin to the "She just hasn't met the right guy, that's why she likes women" talk, it's lesbophobic and misogynistic. The way they doubt her, or believe she still has romantic affection for Till, just because she sees him with familiarity and is kind to him, just because they want to see him satisfied while ignoring her input, they just blatantly prefer seeing a lesbian with a man she has made abundantly clear she has no romantic love for... it's really annoying and just in general the way some parts of the fandom jump to reaffirm her self-hatred, making her a bad guy for feeling justifiably disappointed with Till and regurgitating the same "So she was being intentionally deceitful and led others on??" stuff that she herself is saying because she's guilty and cough unreliable narrators cough survivor's guilt, we've been through this same song and dance with all of the characters to varying degrees of misogny and ignorance and media illiteracy but it's really irritating when people are so intentionally dense to women's struggles being shown bluntly because they don't want to acknowledge them for what they are, what they do is exactly what this comic is criticizing 🫩

there's nothing cooler you can do than headcanonning characters as exes. lovers? overdone. enemies? boring. EXES?? it can mean everything. they were best friends. they hate each other. they miss each other. they remember each other's favourite order. they would kill each other with comically large hammers or maybe a well placed inkpen

technically alan wake 2 final draft (spoilers ahead) is a Happy ending for the characters, but the spiral writers room video calling his enlightened self a possible demiurge or demon unsettled me far more than the original ending. that version, by his nature, already existing and overlapping with past loops, influencing and manipulating things without known reasons (to us and the Alan we play). it really makes that Alan out to be something else entirely through ascension and that this is inevitable. this could partially be because I kept seeing people say that the final draft was the happy end with a happy resolution for everyone, but I can’t stop thinking about what this means for Alan—and Alice!—going forward. That, along with the direct parallels to Yötön Yö playing out. It’s SO much to unpack

i saw this photo and immediately thought wag!oscar / non-driver Oscar. Idk if you have a WIP like that buttt

thank you i'll have another !

I do not have an oscar wag wip at the moment (unless you count the college athlete au??) but i really adore how everybody sends me WAG content for both boys anyway bc it is a trope i deeply deeply fuck with from any angle.

some fashion dreamer adventures from playing too much in the past two days :) (MY USER ID IS LGXwM6wQk5 FEEL FREE TO request stuff or whatever u do in this game i forgor) :

(ignore shocked shane this aint about him) made my OC dave as my first muse so i am kinda playing hard mode with the type b body situation but im like. determined now. im gonna make the flashiest and cutest and over the top outfits i can muster with the scraps theyve given the the type b (jk jk its not TOO bad its the best we've gotten so far but I do wish i could wear shorter shorts and crop tops and some of those type a socks are so cute i saw some that were like bandage thigh highs. dave should be allowed to wear thigh highs. dave should be allowed to wear thigh highs)

still having a lot of fun tho! sometime i should get around to making a type a muse but most people i meet are type a so i never run out of people to dress either way LOL

like most people i have things i hope they add in the future (like i said before, the lack of zoom is DIRE) and right now some of the currencies and levelling systems feel a little unbalanced (i have so many of the star things and bingo things and a decent amount of gacha things but the photo prop coins are my most coveted thing rn i have like 1 single one JKDLSJFDS) but im enjoying myself a lot like i knew i would

was trying to take a pic of this other player's muse that had this really neat witch situation but i accidentally made dave dab and got really scared <3

in the end we must all go to the photo egg. in the end we all go into the photo egg. the universality of the photo egg.

kinda wacky from daylight savings time changes i always get wacky i dont know what year or time it is. i spent twenty minutes scouring the ACT cocoon for the showroom stream 'cause i couldnt find it until i accidentally went into this like. basement alley. its in the basement alley <3 <3 <3

i guess we dont just go into the egg. we also. go into the. cocoons. the cocoons. in eve? cocoons in eve have. eggs in them

anyway i just unlocked cocoon FUN and its so awesome and scary and so so scary look at this bear

free this bear somebody please free this bear ignore dave posing free this bear cocoon fun has bears behind bars and gazebos that raise you into heaven its so scary and awesome

going back to the photo props my favourites so far are the flowers theyre so cute

i dont do the vertical photos that often because theyre kinda hard to do (u have to like. turn ur head or the switch to the side..... im nearly exclusively a tabletop switch player so i cant imagine what its like for docked player LOL) but this ones cute!

but yeah very fun and extremely addicting i need to go to bed. i need to go to bed. i have assignments and i need to go to bed. but i want. to make outfits..........i must.....make outfits......graaaaahhh........GRAAAAAHHHHHH (turns into a zombie before your eyes)

[elegyofthemoon]

i need to find a way to retag the posts that arent SPECIFICALLY about a character but to me they are. idk how aside from just tossing it straight into their tags but why would i do that itd just get cluttered

but a blog is a scrapbook i guess.
