I thought my steering wheel looked familiar...

Oohh, thanks for the tip! I just finished watching WarGames and tried to notice how the film rose its sweet, juicy steaks.

If it doesn’t impact the rest of the story, you didn’t raise the stakes

              I recently went back to a chapter at the midpoint of my novel and changed a huge detail of it because I thought it didn’t raise the stakes enough as it was. Because of this change, I had to go through every single scene and chapter beyond that point and edit it to fit in and make sense. It was annoying, but that’s how I knew I achieved what I wanted to.

              Raised stakes change everything about a story.

              If your characters can continue on as they were, then you didn’t really raise the stakes at all. This heightened pressure or danger has to be heightened enough that their lives as they know them are different now.

              Consider this: at the midpoint, you introduce a mutated form of a monster your characters have been facing that’s more deadly and intelligent than its predecessor. It’s a super scary scene, but after that, your characters go back to their safe house to talk over how best to kill it.

              Suddenly, this new monster doesn’t feel as much of a threat. It’s just another element of the same threat they’ve already been facing.

              To properly use this element as a way to raise the stakes, it should take away something the characters rely on—safety, allies, powers, etc. Something they can’t get back, and don’t get back for the rest of the story. They now have to adapt to new circumstances, and things will never be as easy for them again.

              So maybe instead, they flee to their safe house only to discover that it’s no longer safe—the monster is smart enough to get through their hidden entrance and corner them. Now they’re stuck out in the open, taking turns keeping watch and slowly deteriorating to sleeplessness and stress.

              That’s a delicious steak.

All I can say is AAAAAA

I'm still haunted by that old Sonic Adventure era illustration of Tails in the sandals and inner tube where his feet are just these long smooth beans?? Like, there's obviously a better way!

[weirdofish]

One of the best soundtracks in the game (well, Sonic's portion, anyway)

[weirdofish]

It's SillyEwe's birthday today. Go throw cake at them.

Reblogging this because I was too busy with my writing projects to make anything new this year.

Welp, this is what you get for being the ultimate good boy: the privilege to drown in Valentine's cards and boxes of chocolates.

Not quite out of my Pokémon mood, but I wanted to make a Sonic Valentine's Day image, though this was the only thing I could think of lol. I also got super lazy with the card designs, so sorry about that

[weirdofish]

Typing at the speed of sound

[weirdofish]

So cute!

Making silly little characters to get comfortable with drawing just for fun again :)

"These claws contain one of the most potent venoms in the world," Eggman chuckled, inching the pointed death needles closer to the hedgehog's chest. "Care for a demonstration? You'd better pay attention because you'll only get it once."

Started this on my phone but decided to redo it on my computer. I don't know about you, but I freaking love it when Eggman does the silhouette face thing. He looks cute and cool at the same time. Also, I think I made his fingers look a little paw-like, though that might be me.

[weirdofish]

Yep

🎵 DON'T HOLD BACK!🎵

Galvanize!

What a goober!

Despite being one of the tallest people in the kingdom, Luigi has a habit of making himself extremely small.

Super Mario Wonder has further enabled my steadfast belief of this headcanon of mine

I may or may not have spent a good portion of my first playthrough just staring at him being itty bitty

[weirdofish]

I can hear him say that line in his voice XD

He has a type

[weirdofish]

Yep! I can see him doing that alright XD

Luigi teaches Peach how to say "I love you" in Italian so she can surprise her small boyfriend

[weirdofish]
