About time I see something on my TL that is not blatant Sukuna slander.

I feel like this Quote tweet in addition to the given thread perfectly summarises why a character like Sukuna intrigues me so much. He's like a complex puzzle piece we've yet to solve. An enigma of conflicting sides.

Despite my best efforts i still can't picture his backstory and motivations fully yet. I just hope that whatever Gege has planned for his backstory, it thoroughly shoves my heart through the meat grinder :') Hopefully, it is well thought-out and ties in nicely with his character. It's about time we get to know why he turned out the way he has. And i am DYING to know what Sukuna knows about "Love" ..

#ryomen sukuna #jjk manga #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #jjk sukuna #yoruzu #twitter thread #i'm not sure if i should even censor the display names for both but i decided to leave the name of the original thread creator since i want #more people to go read it #Since Gege mentioned he canonically didn't have any wife or Kids i'm guessing his story might be tied to a potential twin brother #as in accordance with the mythology he's based off of #but like i'm still not sure it could be anything at this point #Good news! JJK Isn't ending any time soon! The chances of a Heian Flashback Arc has increased! #ooc

I use falling asleep time to tell myself stories (otherwise the background brain music would be so loud I couldn’t sleep). A lot of times that’s my paused book but the scenes get stale from that so I bop around comic ideas too.

One popped up the other night as a little one off joke and then I was like, huh, maybe I’m on to something… so the last couple nights have been what I think will turn into the next comic.

#ramblies #the rival thieves comic needs a name but since I’m inking the story is done and I need something new #I thought I might do a red riding hood one but the plot elements werent coming together for me #the current one bopping will have a magic shop I think cause I hate myself #I’ll hate every second of drawing the backgrounds but the setting feels right #and one of the leads will be a faun #thinking I’ll have my first disabled character and I have my twist element but there’s threads I still need to connect so I’m still noodlin

Effloresce snippet

“How did you,” Nesta had managed to surprise her, “How did you come to meet this woman?” Nesta let out a ragged, half-mad laugh. “I tried to hire her to smuggle me into the Spring Court to save my sister.” She twisted, looking straight at Kali. “Why do they call Rhysand a pretender?” Warmth, whatever warmth Nesta had garnered, evaporated. “The heir died,” Kali pronounced. “The current High Lord prevented us from vengeance. We could not- the Lady Shahar did not return to the sky. You cannot lead the clans without honor.” Nesta’s honor was tarnished in every direction. Her father, her sister, her dead uncounted. “Who is the next heir?” Kali sucked in an audible breath and then, just as careful, off as the way Koram had touched her, clapped the back of Nesta’s shoulder where bone and muscle would meet in wings were she something else. “That pale bitch who’s been dragging Cassian around by his throat for centuries, my lady.” Morrigan. Of course, it was Morrigan. Nesta wiped her face. “Will it cause problems?” “Your friend, the mercenary? The mortal child of an Illyrian?” Kali shrugged, motion half wings, “It will be strange. Not violent.” “And probably good for them to see.” “Them,” Kali echoed. Nesta pressed hard against her wet eyes, once, the pressure twinned with pain in her face. “I’m not going to tell anyone who they can or cannot consort with,” Nesta nearly hissed, before she reeled herself back in. “I am not a High Lord. These things happen, and there is nothing wrong with them.” Kali, quite obviously cautious, squeezed Nesta’s shoulder like it was made of bone fine porcelain. “Lady Nesta.” It was kind, and utterly unbearable. “Why do you need her?” Kali asked, after a long moment. “The mercenary?” Nesta, feeling like the expression cracked her, bleeding open, smiled. “She travels in the company of Jurian,” Nesta told her, one more Archeron secret laid bare, “Breaker of chains and kings. I have need of him.”

[yume-fanfare]

and tbh the time skip in switch and knights climax events is what makes me the most mad of it all. "oh true hmm maybe i should've added foreshadowing earlier for my acid-trip plot to work hmm well ill start the story at the beginning of the year and then do a bunch of timeskips" no you absolute idiot you are going to write your stupid story on the foundations you built before or ill kill you

#like honestly even if the characters interactions are good #the plot is just too much. it makes me mad #i havent read either story yet but by principle im not too fond tbh #ughh #you'd think after the story released i would be less anxious about knights climax but nooo #honestly i cant think of much of a reason to read it besides maybe nice izlo #but that. is not really what i look for in a tsukasa event you know............ #and since he for some reason had that tour this year itll take an eternity till his next event sighs #but well he is a sweet and charming and lovely and honest boy im sure the story will be good for him regardless.......... #but im still mad tf. so many possible plot threads and he had to go and make up an entire new thing ugh #mar's midnight rambles

It's so nice to have this tiny little selection of WIPs to prioritize. Really helps me to keep my focus where it should be.

Wait, what's this?

IT'S A LONG-ABANDONED WIP WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!

#so two days ago i was looking back at some of my stories i like and thinking that they were all garbage #well then yesterday (actually at 3 am shh don't tell) i was looking at some things i liked less and found that they were surprisingly good #(my imagination kicked in during the interim and supplied some really nice mental movies that made the stories come alive) #and guys that arateph princess and the pea retelling has me going feral #both povs have fantastic conflicts #the fairy tale gets to tie in perfectly with the politics and philosophy issues in this world #and now i really really want to get to the core of this story and try to figure out how to finish it #because there's a ton of thematic and internal things happening #but how to realistically tie it in with the need for action is logistically difficult #i've got at least three threads here and the 'assassination attempt' thing is the most concrete possibility but also the hardest to fit in #i may just have to open a new doc and rubber-duck it to see if something comes together #incidentally the fact that this kind of thing regularly happens with my backlog of seasonally-specific ideas is why i rarely finish anythin #ah well what do you do? #adventures in writing

[bagheerita]

Recentering the story on Albert really changes the whole thing on a fundamental level I don't think I understood the first time I watched Gankutsuou. Because it's not about Edmond and Edmond's vengeance anymore. It's about the Count doing to Albert what was done to him.

I hated the duel the first time I watched it, because it's one of my favorite scenes in the book and they change everything and make it worse. But it's because the story is about Albert, so the character that dies to change the trajectory of the story can't be Édouard anymore, it has to be someone Albert cares about. And changing the duel is one of the easiest ways to get this to happen.

It still tears down everything I loved about the original, but I get it.

#gankutsuou: the count of monte cristo #gankutsuou #gankutsuou spoilers #in the end i think Gankutsuou fails to satisfactorily resolve the threads of the novel's plot with their story's new focus. #but i do love the aesthetic. #also while I think the idea of externalizing Edmond's desire for vengeance as Gankutsuou was a really creative decision #Edmond ultimately failing to renounce his quest means that you didn't understand the part of the book where he DOES turn from that path #and choose love instead #lol maybe I need more distance from the story to analyze it properly #because I do find it fascinating to see how a Japanese design team interprets an old French story

(( y'all wanna see something cute to make up for my lack of writing 👀 also I hope this brightens people's day a lil ❤️

#i PROMISE okay #i hearby solemnly swear i will write again soon 😬 #half of me is tempted to restart threads and like start a new slate #but then - i love the threads i have and their stories #im not sure but ANYWAY #Wesker had a photoshoot today ❤️ #(ooc) #(tbd)

[seek--rest]

How many times are people to say that ATSV is a fuck you to Spider-Man editorial or tragedy or whatever else dumb as shit take like if you genuinely think ATSV was a rebuke on the “status quo” or about Spider-Man being a tragedy and that being bad than I’m gonna just assume we watched a different movie entirely

“Spider-Man is trauma porn and ATSV proves that’s reductive and wrong!!!!” If that’s your takeaway from the movie and what you think ATSV was about then you can’t be helped actually you’re just writing fanfic with your eyes open I guess

#seek speaks #across the spiderverse #across the spiderverse spoilers #atsv #atsv spoilers #there’s a long twitter thread arguing this that so many people are saying YEAH SEE #and I’m just sitting here like oh. so everyone is watching their made up ATSV I guess #anyway atsv is a story about tragedy and responsibility and the butterfly effect #(and selfishness) #if you think it’s a rebuke of tragedy then you may need to stop reading fluff fanfics or find a new fixation

A New Chance

(Kip breathes through the mask, seeing the residential buildings in the distance. A large robot is sitting, while someone else stands beside them. Kip recognizes the standing robot immediately.)

Silver!

[You're here.]

[Hello, Ms. Silverpoint.]

[I was notified by the Guardian of your arrival. They insisted that I should wait for you here.]

Oh... we could go back to your place too, if you... prefer. I wanted to talk to you.

I want to... goodness it's a lot. Do you have a moment?

[I've been working on mending the Guardian for hours. It's kept me busy.]

[Their arm needs to be reattached, their joints are hard to move... I am doing what I can with my knowledge, but I am not familiar with this model.]

[I don't think this is what you came to listen to, anyway. This is just me responding to the repair requests around the area.]

[What brings you here? What's the point?]

(Kip breathes in, taking off her gas mask, and placing her goggles back on, as is her habit.)

Sorry, I had to do that first.

Well you... I wanted to check on you.

You never answered my letters. And I gave up sending them eventually but I thought... well. I thought there had to be a good reason.

And now with the sun back too—

[I believe sending updates to the Refuge on the state of the Barrens is all that was needed.]

[You DID send me here. I may as well do the job, shouldn't I?]

[I don't think I need to explain that the Sun is back, you can see that. The robots are active, but I don't have much else to give them other than clean up the outpost and assess the earthquake damage.]

No... Yeah I know you send those updates. They're helpful.

But this is different. It's... it's not just about that. Well, it is a bit about that because the other scientist's think this whole thing is pointless and—

[This whole thing? I assume you mean this area's operations?]

[My assessment of it is that there are zones that are inaccessible because of the recent earthquakes, and most communication terminals seem to be broken.]

[I don't know whether you are in need of materials from the Barrens, but otherwise I don't see why bother with it.]

Ah... well, that answers that.

How... bad were the earthquakes? We had to evacuate the lab complex.

[The mines are fully inaccessible. Even more so than it was the last time I reported on it.]

[...]

[I am inclined to believe they weren't earthquakes. At least not as we commonly know them.]

[I do not have a lot of data to analyze, however. This is just my experience.]

That... sounds like an interesting theory to consider. It's not the point, sorry.

Why? Where were you when it happened?

[That's not important.]

[The seismic movements stopped, and there are no reliable ways to predict them with anything I could give you.]

[You... mentioned the letters you sent.]

[Anything to add on that topic?]

#as kip #as silver #a new chance #os game rp #story progress #the barrens #kip touches grass arc #oh this will be a #long post #probably a #really long post #///ooc note: you can still send asks all you want #this main thread will show the story as it goes.

oh I love when matt's stories get creepy. he's so good at calling on the different senses in his descriptions of scary shit. I never truly expected to be creeped out by dnd actual play, this is such a cherry on top of an already cool cake. I thought I'd get excited by the cosmic horror, but to actually get cold shivers is so neat.

anyway I reached the part where beau and caleb stare into the mad illegible scratchings of an arcanist, almost get pulled into the pages, and fall asleep that night to experience a terror of thousands of low buzzing screams, an enormous soul-piercing red eye and a chorus of welcomes, only to awaken to find a single red eye now on their skin.

loving it loving it, more haunting cities and unnerving undecipherable tomes and piercing eyes and nowhere to hide and desperately looking for knowledge please

[youngerfrankenstein]

Every once in a while I come across a comment on how AM is a downer and… how do you get that? I get being sad when Edelgard dies if you like her but the story on the whole is really uplifting. It’s a story about how you can fall so far but still rise back to better heights. About overcoming adversity with the power of friendship. It’s heartwarming!

[dallonwrites]

the preptober is actually preptobering again i've got hand drawn mindmaps for different plot threads and shit

#i have never braided so many plot threads together OMG Character Focused Slow Litfic Guy Trying Something New #its so interesting and kind of funny too because i have one mind map for like specific types of threads #so i have one for the apocalypse centric plot threads #and then i have another for the character driven plot threads. like specific relationships and such. #and it's just funny to me bc in all my other stories THAT is the plot. and it is still the plot here but like there is so much other stuff #going on in a way that does not happen in my other projects! #like they work together but esp as a newbie of all this it helps me to separate them #some plot threads make up the flesh of the story's body and others are like the blood. not as visible but very vital

[townofcadence]

Some variable ideas I would love to play with, probably an ever updating list (it started as a horror thread list so the beginning is mostly that lol):

(cw medical abuse, hospitals, probably things like blood, injury, neglect, surgical equipment, etc.) Abandoned Hospital setting, because I think an environment like that could be fun to play in and very atmospheric, and I have some Ideas :3 . I would want the idea to focus more on medical malpractice and doctor neglect, not the patients as 'vengeful ghosts'. Maybe some are angry and frustrated, but they don't mean any harm, they're just unheard and in need of help they never were given when living. I think it'd be fun if some tried to help, too, but might be scared of consequences. Some of the medical staff could be kind, and try to help, but I think a fair few were also the perpetrators of a lot of pain that'd be trapped in the specific setting, and they would be the main catalysts for potential horror in the thread. They also wouldn't take kindly to intruders--- or conversely, some might be very overjoyed to have new patients. The overall goal would be to find a way to get rid of the malicious spirits so they can't cause further harm, but also to free the patients and allow them to move forward.

Similar vein to the last, finding essentially a dossier of patient records in the old effects of a passed away psychiatrist, as well as a box of things that has a spiritual aura. Inside are a collection of tapes; the owner of said tapes had used them to record patient visits, but lost all of their patients in some manner. They blame themselves for the loss, to such a degree they can't let go of them, or their own guilt. So when they pass themselves, they attach to the tapes and to the player itself, and in a way accidentally trap their patients by fixating on them so much, that they manifest a version of each patient, tied to their individual tape. The case would involve playing the tape and dealing with the spirit inside in their own ghostly manifestation world in a sense, trying to help them- they are trapped and a lot of negative emotions, but really they're also just vulnerable people who are scared or hurt. The point would be to help each one, just a little, so they can move on, with the psychiatrist themself tackled last, because they clearly needed help they didn't know how to ask for too. The end result would likely be cleansing the objects by helping the spirits release them, and some horror could come from inside the tapes themselves, where there is a manifestation of the issues and trials the patients faced in a more real form that could be dangerous or do harm. An artistic and visceral interpretation of fears or struggles in a sense. This one is heavily inspired by a game that I've been thinking about a lot, and if you know it, I'm emotionally doing a little dance at you ^x^

cw for injury and blood, but another one I've been thinking about a lot is kind of a revamp of an older one that wasn't finished. It involved a being that is more primeval, who has an interest in Artair specifically due to the kind of magic in his veins. It wants to make him into a snack essentially, because blood can be a great source of nutrition for plants. Bigger than they seem, and able to be at multiple places at once. It could be really fun, especially if someone has a muse with powers they want to play against something stronger. It kind of tried to distract one muse while rounding up artair, so it's a bit split for some of the thread, but it could be fun to recycle the idea. Also, i'm a sucker for both muses coming together in the end to defeat the entity together as needed :D

Anything in a haunted/magic forest really, those are so atmospheric and fun :3

I think it'd be fun to have Artair run into more villainous muses, though that will probably end poorly for him lol. But it could be interesting also because of his immortal nature. It could also end interestingly, especially if you want your villain to meet Something Else that is pretty dangerous and might be able to hurt them back :D

Something where Artair gets possessed. Those ones are always fun :3

Haunted house thread!! this was a plot i had for a long time where there's so many little spirits being trapped by one very large malevolent one, which has consumed enough energy from the little ones to have a large and powerful domain. It has complete control of the house and manipulate it however it wants, and reassemble it. Artair's bleeding energy makes it go aggressive because it's always hungry for more, and the muses have to make it out. Could be fun for both muses to have a part to play in taking down the entity

A plot where as part of the story artair Dies (cw death but temporary), or he is supposed to, but then he just wakes up again, and does something to help that throws off whatever hurt him enough for both muses to overcome it. i think it could be an interesting concept

Something involving being held prisoner and escaping can be fun. It can be a great way to see characters plot together and collaborate for escape, and we can adjust just how successful or difficult that can be. Like an escape room for muses lol

Abyss stuff could be fun, but that area is still in the works and is like. almost au but not? like you become an alternative version of yourself. but sometimes messing with a thread can be a great way to learn more about a setting and come up with more ideas

Moments where artair gets to protect someone else! He takes the blow or jumps in the way or gets between people to keep them safe! it's one of the things that's most important to him, i want to showcase it some more ! Even things where he goes to extremes to protect someone from something dark and there are consequences can be really fun :3

I really love the idea of playing some of my other OCs. I want to do all the things with Artair too of course, but it'd be cool to explore some of the other characters in a mix of genres ! A fair few are built for slice of life, and a few are shenanigan heavy, and some would be great for plots, or learning to cope with past traumas. Some are just because I like food and writing about it lol. and some are very inhuman and it would be cool to see them interact with others. There's a lot of potential and i'd love to flesh out things i haven't had the chance to as well, or get to reveal some tidbits or cool concepts i have in play ^^

Someone teaches artair more magic. He has a lot of potential but no knowledge. A few people have helped him learn a little, but i would love to play with him learning from others and how they perform their own spellwork, so he learns new methods or can improve organically! Similarly, sparring with weapons so he can learn more about fighting-- he's pretty good at fighting unarmed, but he wants to know more

Friendly sparring action threads! sometimes those can be a lot of fun and really great practice for fight scenes :D

Artair cooking for someone!! It brings my love of describing food and a way to be kind and also a way to share something special together. Also anything going to his garden or letting him (or someone like Saffron) talk about their plants and why they have them-- little moments to learn more about each other in a space that's playful or relaxed while doing something fun or kind for one another :3

Honestly i want to know more about other muses of other people! I want Artair (and others!) to build friendships and bonds and have connections and inside jokes and like--- little moments where they bond and learn more of the stories of each other ^^ I'm really excited for that prospect!!!

More to come as they pop into my brain and nestle enough xD

#mobilefriendly #plot ideas #tristan rambles #i LOVE plotting and having a story #i think that's why cases can tend to be my bread and butter #easy way to meet new people and explore a cool concept #sometimes i kind end up 'dming' a thread when i'm writing with someone who's a bit more along for the ride and that can be fun too #so some of these are concepts i could play with in that scenario ^^ #long post

There's something delightfully fucked up about somehow binding people's consciousness to animatronics and then taking that a step further to turn part of your spirit or whatever into code to gain another form of immortality. I also Really dig the idea of Glitchtrap killing OG Afton - almost something poetic about the shift of power from Afton being killed by his own OpenAi-Powered fursona for me. But I guess he probably canonically died in Pizza Sim.

I like Help Wanted+SB era FNAF a lot more than the older games, but there's so many interesting things to carry forward from the old stuff too. My city now.

Oh that would be a hell of a narrative play for him to die like that ngl

But yeah. Our city now lmao
