[abelas]

not me writing an IF game and writing the spicy scenes first sdidmflkm

#listen i know when to get to the good part #do i have a plot written yet? no #am i writing smut thats in character and hot as shit? yeah #yeah. i am. #im so brave. i know. #im so excited about the concept of the game. and whenever i get to put it out #i am so hoping at least one person plays it and wants to talk to me about the LIs #its gonna be a fantasy romance game - im really not sure if i wanna make it a modern fantasy or not...!!! big decisions to be made. i think #im not going to go with a modern tale JUST so one of my LIs can wear a slutty peasant shirt #he can in modern days but itd just be so out of place #ALSO. its going to be very dark. and address themes of isolation - loneliness - touch starvation - self hatred #its going to be a lot but like in a good way #and... again... ROMANCE!! bc im a bitch who loves romance!! #personal

do you ever think about how one of doctor who's most famous time loop episodes (heaven sent) isn't a time loop. like the fact that time is passing normally is a huge plot point

#i'm writing a heaven sent au (well plotting one out. i haven't actually written anything yet don't look at me) #and i was getting ready to deal w paradoxes and then i was like wait a minute. there are no paradoxes. time isn't actually looping here #it isn't even a time loop to twelve since he doesn't remember it until like the last moment #(and i have Thoughts about that #does he actually remember it??? bc like. how. that wasn't him. he didn't do those things #each version that did the loop was essentially a seperate clone #did he leave himself some sort of psychic memory download at the wall??? bc if so. fucked up if true #but also entirely in character tbh) #doctor who #the doctor #twelve #the fact that there's no paradox to deal w makes things less awful for my au 😔 so i will just have to make it worse in other ways 😌

This was easily one of the best Lupin episodes

#there will be a rant in the tags that you can ignore #but it is so upsetting how modern/current lupin took away the depths of these characters and flimsily tries to restore their earlier depth #i'm one of those people who craves depth in what i watch and it's so difficult to like this franchise because it will be so close to doing #something interesting only to abandon it #this episode and part one as a whole was peak lupin in my opinion with each character having emotional depth yet flaws to overcome #yet modern lupin would have you believe that these characters don't desire to improve in any capacity #if we were to just focus on Goemon for example right here he shows depth with revealing hidden emotional maturity and empathy for Lupin by #comforting him and admitting he himself is afraid (which is a big deal for a character like him who is supposed to be unflinching) #but in modern lupin goemon will literally say that he's not afraid of anything and this is written without any hint of irony or depth #i'm okay with mindless entertainment and i understand that this is a series simply about stealing but the character assassination is so #disappointing #and when this series does try to be “deep” they pick the most triggering subject matter possible to depict to the point where it's #practically unwatchable (this is in reference to Part 4 and its constant SA plots as well as the rampant gratuitous child abuse plots #throughout the entire series) #i want so badly to love lupin the 3rd but it's a huge problem when fanfiction understands the characters better than the source material #lupin iii #lupin the third #lupin the 3rd #goemon ishikawa xiii #goemon #arsene lupin iii #jigen daisuke #daisuke jigen #fujiko mine #part 1

I have always admired people who could write one fic or draw a comic for years because I am living in a constant fear of not finishing what I have started. Not in a 'maybe something terrible will happen to me' way, but simply knowing myself and that after a couple of months or years, I will catch a new fixation and finishing the old story will become hard. And yeah sure, I have heard people say "You don't have to finish if it doesn't interest you anymore" or "It's your art and you decide what it will be about" and I fully agree, but I still love those old things I came up with you know? I still love these characters and I want their stories to be told, but at the same time there already are new characters with new stories in my head and I want to tell them too.

#i may or may not be talking about the whole big sherlock holmes plot following my college adventures comic i came up with at some point #that goes through the whole series and dives DEEP into the holmes/watson topic and believe me this is so much more tangled and nuanced #than holmes/trevor one i came up with (and i feel like this one is already easy to misunderstand) #and yet i have the disco elysium comic that i love so much but i have trouble drawing it lately #mostly because i fell out of the fandom loop a bit and also i have written the plot a long time ago and some things I'd do differently now #but I gotta stick to the things I have already drawn or it'd be inconsistent #AGGHHGASHAKJSFJJSAJJJKK please someone release me from this hell #why does my brain not let me just. enjoy the things that i enjoy #why there always has to be an additional layer of distress to everything #rant #(it's okay to reblog tho) #conversations with the void

this is 1000% personal preference but i am so Dubious about firmament bc 99% of the time i Hate timeline fuckery, multiverse fuckery, time travel fuckery....i am SO picky with it

the whole "the gullet is a from a narrative that wasn't supposed to happen and you cause a time paradox by messing with it" is so Wholly unappealing to me ;;

i hope it's just that the starved Within the gullet are being kept with the belief that london was destroyed, and there are no actual time or paradox shenanigans, just people being fed wrong info for reasons we don't know yet. but considering the general consensus for the plot i am Wary

#I DO HAVE HOPE DON'T GET ME WRONG I WANT IT TO BE GOOD!!!! I REALLY DO #time travel stuff is unappealing in general to me and confusing when it's written weirdly #and given the writing of the first chapter i uhhh. yeah #i've liked timeline fuckery plots before so i won't lose hope yet #spiderverse and madoka magica are great!! #i still haven't played through with grace yet #fredspeaks #fl spoilers #firmament #firmament spoilers

ok so here is the thing.

i'm a very ships-motivated writer. not exclusive to romantic ships – friendships, frenemies, familial, colleagues, mentors, unlikely besties, whatever. i think discussing a potential connection between our characters helps a lot with not only my motivation but kind of having an idea for what sort of situations our muses might find themselves in. connections are ultimately what i love to explore through rp

i'd love to consider this as a shipping call – if you'd like to chat about how our muses may connect and what direction(s) their relationship could potentially take, like this post! i will be very honest with you about what i envision for revie and your muse atm & i am incredibly open to all ideas.

#this is a long-winded way to say: let's plot! #but really i do just want to annihilate the ice and get excited about our muses together in whatever capacity that may be #ooc. #interest check. #i have a lot of mutuals who i havent written with yet and i desperately want to but a little chatting might help #i will probably just reach out to ppl too lmfaosfdughs #ANYWAY #sorry #omg #im fucking incoherent tonight

Drawing scarian isn't enough I need to learn how to write them.

#If you're a scarian writer btw just know that I love you I'm SUCH a lurker hajshdkfjsdhkfjhs #I haven't written fiction since middle school I'm JEALOUS #scarian #rambles #i've had this fic idea floating around in my head but it's more of a character/relationship study I'm shocked I haven't seen anyone do yet #unless they have then SHOW ME THE GOODS!! #AUs look fun but I'm not creative enough to think of a plot to one *head in hands*

Feeling so good about a reply I'm gonna post in a bit~ Might take a small break and lurk from mobile. If I can, I might just work on some asks in a bit and more threads tomorrow~

#ooc #a few days ago was having major character anxiety #but I'm feeling so freaking confident right now #thanks everyone who has written with me for being so awesome #I really enjoy getting to see the different portrayals #And to those muts who we're just following but not interacting yet #I want to #love seeing you on my dash #should warn I love angst lol #the plotting has been so fun! can't wait to do more~

the eternal struggle of reading webcomics/manga/manh(w/u)a that i think are really good but have cringe ass titles so i can't recommend them without someone doubting my sensibilities and taste in stories

#not that my tastes are *that* good... #or do people ask me for good comics often enough for this to be a real problem #or.. people talking to me at all for this conversation to come up... #anyway please ask for some comics to read. i need someone to join me in my warrior's path #of reading things but never finishing them because either they aren't done being #written and/or translated yet.. #or whatever the word for when adhd says i can't read any more because the story is *too* good and so i get paralysis trying to keep reading #to anyone curious- #i just caught up with sss-class revival hunter #and was reminded how much of a sucker i am for romance... ;_: #GUH i can't gush in the tags here... there's already too many tags #but it's soo good #here's my recommend of it for those reading the tags: #really good starting plot- read a synopsis for that i'm bad at that #there's a little dip in attention keeping between the end of the introduction phase and when he starts floor 10 #but if you get past that little dip it's all up hill from there #ough i'm still thinking about it. #IT'S NOT A ROMANCE BTW. the most recent plot is romance but that's not the overarching thing #at least for what's out. idk how much what happened is going to effect the rest of the story #ok ok i need to stop talking about it because i'm getting too riled up and overpowering the melatonin i took. don't want to break my sleep #schedule over this #key's lockbox #rambling in tags #btw i don't have shame in the stuff i read regardless of their bad titles #i just wanted to use this premise to get my words out about enjoying my latest read

hiya, behind the scenes kinkmeme number 7 for a stain that won’t dissolve please😀

7. What inspired the idea for the plot?

Tbh probably like 1700 hours of playing Stardew Valley and the fact that I don't really spend much time imagining my farmer and NPCs together and instead imagine different NPCs interacting.

I'd always been interested in the potential for Sebastian and Alex to potentially be mutual bullies, because that was just interesting to me!

So the inspiration was literally 'gosh I have played this game so much anyway what if bullies to lovers with Sebastian and Alex bet the sex would be hot and I can make it really angsty gosh I like hurt/comfort.'

Honestly my brain is very 'no thoughts head empty' and my story ideas sometimes come from very simple places aslkfdsa

~

From this meme!

#asks and answers #a stain that won't dissolve #thespectaclesofthor #i honestly do not have many complex ideas for plots initially beyond #'these two characters fucking in a hurt/comfort enemies to lovers way would be hot' #'has anyone written it yet with alex as the bottom WHY NOT' #actually it has been written but it's very um #very sweet #and not what i wanted to write lmao #administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

[quil12]

Honestly, this game feels like drugs sometimes

#persona 2 #persona 2 eternal punishment #just the fact that absolutely no one is phased about this #this is the additional scenario btw #the last part of it #katsuya is very much a catboy though #'catsuya' if you will #hes also like really smart though too #like man was talking so much to do with like philosophy and psychology and i had no idea what was even coming out of his mouth #i do feel like there are so many similar themes and ideas particularly between p2 and p5 though #like not even just the talking cat #but like how in is there was the moral question about if its right for people to not have to work toward their dreams #thats literally just third semester in p5r #which i always thought was one of the best written persona plots #but to find out that p2 did it first #and more as a subplot than anything else #p2 just has good writing #im gonna be one of those people now that ive actually played it #but like i think its my favorite story in the whole series #havent played 1 yet #so i cant say for sure #but like...

most of my verses don't factor in adam's death (with the exception of his sinner verse where he returns as a demon) but if and when they do, his death was at the hands of lucifer!

#-ˏˋ ━━━ ( out of character. ) #-ˏˋ ━━━ ( about. ) #Those that have ever written a character whose death was handled comically will understand but like. #It's frustrating to rp a villain (...or anyone but usually villains) whose power is hyped up/their threat is hyped up. Only #for them 2 be negged by sum1 a lot weaker than them. It tarnishes their entire character and anything they are capable of. 💀 #Just makes more sense if it's Lucifer. Someone who is actually stronger. #Say Adam goes to attack them again after his ramble and Luci has to put him down idk yet but like?? Anything. #His abilities and or fights with Alastor & Charlie do not matter now because people will only remember him for his comical death #at the hands of a significantly weaker character. If you were to bring up his #abilities in a positive light... People will be like 'only to be killed by Niffty' asdfghkl. I get that. But it's very comical & Too soon. #I understand they only had 8 eps to work with buuut. It's probably a bit more dramatic and a longtime coming in my canon. #Still happy to joke about it and stuff but yeah hehe Lucifer is the only one that gets dead Adam rights atm. And maybe Lilith. #And anyone else if it's actually plotted and makes sense but. Lol #N e ways sorry for the ramble. Just establishing some canon things.

THAT’S SO COOL????? I’m not into video games but GOD they reincarnate and are in love every time??? princess and knight??? also I’ve been wanting to say this for ages but link is sooooo gender. you get it

so. they are in love in the sense that nintendo is queerbaiting me. queerbaiting me with a "straight" couple (they are lesbians). they are not canon they kissed only in the second ever zelda game when there was only the barest story and they were nothing more than pixel sprites and they have not been canon since. and because every game is technically a different link and a different zelda, each individual game varies on how shippable they actually are? like, I'm not very far through twilight princess yet but I've heard they're pretty much just coworkers in that one. the three latest mainline games though, they're like. they're pretty much canon in all but name like you could say it's platonic but like at that point you are running on loads of denial. the three latest mainline games are skyward sword, which is the first link and zelda, the start of the cycle. the plot ENTIRELY revolves around how much link loves zelda. cause they're best friends, hyrule as a kingdom doesn't even exist yet (they live on an island in the sky) she falls to earth and is running around having to discover that she's a reincarnated goddess (that's a whole angst factor btw bc the goddess (hylia) had to fight demise and she won but knew it was temporary and knew demise would have to be defeated again, and that he would need to be defeated with the power of the triforce, which can only be wielded by humans, so she decided basically that she'd need a loyal human knight, and so she reincarnated into a human girl because a girl is loved in the way a goddess isn't and she knew someone would love a human girl enough to save her WHICH HAPPENS so basically zelda gets to have an identity crisis was she just dragging link towards this destiny the whole time? did she truly love him? did he truly love her? are they puppets in this grand plan? "I'm still your zelda" she says to him, but is she??? drives me nuts) and he, ever loyal, keeps running after her to save her again and again and again (link is so dog coded there's a great botw fic about this), and then they defeat demise and he curses them and link is just some guy who went through ALL THIS SHIT cause he LOVED zelda. what if you were in love with your best friend and it cursed you and your descendants for the rest of time this is so francesca by hozier I'd tell them put me back in it I'd go through it again if i could hold you for a minute. and then the next two mainline games are breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom and breath of the wild involves an amnesia plot so you basically watch link fall in love with zelda a second time and then in tears of the kingdom they are. common law married. they share a house. there's only one bed. do NOT get me FUCKING STARTED on the hateno house. and nintendo still plays FUCKING COY zelda's english va has to be like "they... have a really close bond...." this is how I know they're queer you wouldn't do this with straight people. and then people also ship ocarina of time (most popular and well known game of the series most praised for its story) zelink a lot but that's an older game I haven't played yet so I can't speak on them. zelda is so transmasc in that one though this I know. I talk about link being genderqueer a fair amount and everyone on this internet knows link is trans but trust. zelink is t4t

#also I love that you said “princess and knight” like it's another awesome factor about them cause yes so true #but so many people are like “UGH the princess and knight trope🙄” LIKE YOU DON'T GET IT!!! IT'S ABOUT DEVOTION!!! #tbf the zelda plot is always that you have to save zelda and nintendo won't break out of this winning formula #so I suppose for a lot of people it just feels sexist and tired and whatnot #but I've played only the latest games so I'm able to look past it cause zelda manages to still be a really good character from the sideline #also. they're literally in love. um. why do you hate true love and soulmates #anyway TECHNICALLY they're not in love every time. cause. as I said. twilight princess #(also there's some zelda games that don't follow the standard plot (such as link's awakening which I've played its SO GOOD btw) #so there isn't. a zelda and ganon. so obviously no zelink there) #but whether or not they're actually romantically involved I do think it's critical that they are SO SO SO SO IMPORTANT to each other #in which case if they are genuinely just coworkers in twilight princess I do think that's a failing of twilight princess #ask #witch-of-aiaia #hi aiaia! #also. fun detail here. link is a silent protag and they tend to make him a bit of a blank slate in the games #so when I say zelink is in love I am simultaneously working with the bare ass minimum in regards to link #and yet also so so so much cause of the everything he does for her #zelda being a reincarnated goddess/from the line of a reincarnated goddess is so crazy insane to me btw #she's links patron goddess he's her ever loyal servant they're UGHHHHHH #I could talk forever about them. evidently. they're so important to me. only couple I've written fic for
