#i read take notes yesterday

[daydadahlias]

do you ever reread your fics like months after you posted them and fangirl over your own writing bc idk it seems like something you would do and if you don’t then you really should

no one will ever be a bigger fan of my writing than me

#obsessed with the energy of this ask #‘yeah u seem like a narcissist’ and like I am but u don’t have to say it /j #i love my writing. i mean write what u wanna read!!! i think everyone should enjoy reading their own stuff #i honestly read at least one of my own fics a day I’m ngl #i read take notes yesterday #it’s nice reading smthn a long time after u read it bc by that point you’ve forgotten most of it #so it’s really nice to have that moment of ‘dude did EYE write this???’ #i love those moments #there’s some I don’t read tho #like I can’t stomach Risky Risqué or All Yours or Remind Me or Simple or Howdy Partner or— #there’s a lot I don’t reread but #there is a lot that I do! #bc a lot of the times I reread smthn and I remember the joy of writing it as well!! #like I read portable player and remember talking with Miki all night while I was at a hotel in Dollywood lol #or gushing about cake with molly while writing ask for more #or really starting to become friends with Amanda around the time I was writing fine print #or ofc all the incredible stuff that happened around the time I wrote scene 14 and how many friends I made #y’know !! #writing is a beautiful thing!! ofc I love my fics #pigeon #anon #sorry reading smthn a long time after you WROTE it

This one is for my beloved sibling @roxiusagi who bullied me into drawing something for them 😌💖

#tbh I started sketching this during my yesterday's pharmacology class in order not to fall asleep #i had to keep myself busy - i guess I'm too used to listening to podcasts while drawing xDD #no don't say it - taking notes was not an option #(magnusbae if you're reading this. yes this was what I was working on when you were explaining to me the star wars movies today X'D) #Roxiu here 🤲 have your baby Hypnos. kisssb <333 #hypnos hades #hades supergiant #hades game #roxiu #mayhem art

did 90 pages of my reading for three different classes is everyone proud of me :) finished the chapter on judaism for my sacred texts class, read "an apology for poetry" by sir philip sidney for my lit theory class, and did my two chapters of reading from the truth about stories by thomas king for my folklore and mythology class. and wrote a summary paper on that sacred texts chapter. and did my little writing assignment for my french class. all while sick. who is going to kiss me on the forehead and tell me i did a good job

#read an absolutely inordinate amount of hannibal fanfic in the time inbetween and it's frankly impressive that i got anything done #considering the sheer volume of words i consumed on ao3 today. but that's simply the way and nature of things #so tomorrow i have until 12:30 to do a journal assignment for folklore and mythology #and also to read billy budd by herman melville which the internet says should take an hour and a half. easy peasy. baby reading #hoping i feel better when i wake up tomorrow. called out of work for the morning so i just have to be well enough #to get through that like. six hour period of school between 1:30 and 6:45 :/ #masked up and hands sanitized and body dayquil'd. obviously. and i'm covid negative i think i just genuinely have stress sickness #felt this sore throat coming on for like two weeks before it actually hit yesterday the moment i got a good night's sleep. so. haha #shout out to the exhaustion sickness! sorry for being so rough on you body. i'll try not to schedule you for activities #from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed again. i don't make the best of decisions #valentine notes

one of those fifty things was a classist af post about how fanfic writers can't actually write for shit, yes all of them apparently bc they aren't educated in proper literary devices or whatever.

are you fucking hearing yourself

#idk man but seeing that after writing fic for 11 years in a language that's not my native one & evolving ON MY ABSOLUTE OWN and then- #-going as far as to study literature now that i have the chance & finally gain enough confidence in my skills to start working on- #-my own original work after years of daydreaming about it just to read THAT from a posh spoiled bitch really fuckin' felt like a kick to the #-balls that i do not possess #like fuck you fuck you FUCK YOU #among other things like being fully purposefully deadnamed AGAIN today after yesterday's family fiasco #and getting swamped by fifty fuckin academic tasks left and right #AND a constant bombardment of imagss of mulilated children in posts with notes full of zionists excusing said massacre #and then THIS fuckin post abt fic writers or whatever #i cant take it seriously im at my fuckin limit but Unironically I'm about to start crying out of sheer anger and fury #i dont like feeling so angry. i hate it and it makes me feel like a monster but i cant DO this shit anymore #it's only Tuesday and i have less than 1% drive left for the week what the fuck #tw vent #maybe delete later idk

learning that there is a "harbinger interested in machines" who went through the effort of stopping their own planned takeover of the Steambird paper just bc they realized the Traveler's involvement and apologizing to the Traveler by giving up their planted person via traumatizing them till they were catatonic (1), removing their tongue (2) and stuffing the apology note to replace it while leaving their still-alive body at the courthouse (3) was not in my cards for fontaine ngl

#kittybee games #.... is it sandrone???? am I thinking too hard ? she's the machine one right? #i sat up when I read the line about finding Jenck at the courthouse #euphrasie takes the cake for being like Oh Yea they found him like yesterday its cool now #i would've assumed they put something like that in a throwaway note you could've missed or something #in my left hand is genshin's 1.0 mondstat/liyue story writing; in my right hand is genshin's 3.0-4.0 sumeru/fontaine story writing; #I am not holding Inazuma in either hand #lol i meme but inazuma writing was rough #tw body horror #now that I think about it I should add that

my day in two pictures:

#very very long and incoherent and whiny rant incoming sorryyyyyy #i hate this. so. sooooo. sooooooooooo much #i could tell that this day was gonna go badly bc of just how well yesterday went (my lxl fan novels and curry meshi deliveries came in) #so anyway. i woke up late bc i slept late (thanks lxl event story lmaoo) and stuff happened so i left my place later than usual #but surpriseeeee it rained the moment i stepped out of the elevator. and the bus was coming in 3 minutes!!!! #so i ran across the carpark in the rain to take a shortcut. that was fine. whatever. but then i saw the bus turn in and— #for some reason my legs just. stopped moving. i couldn’t run anymore :( battery? depleted. bus? left right in front of my very eyes :( #and the next bus was set to come in 10 minutes ಥ‿ಥ so that was freakin’ fantastic. #anyways the bus came and took me to the interchange where the dumb train station was. and when i got to the platform… the train just left. #and the next train was set to come in 5 minutes. which was great news for me who had an hour to get to work #so the train came. the hour-long journey went. and when i reached the bus stop to transfer to the bus to get to work… the bus had just left #so with some time (read: 10 minutes) to spare i decided to get some bread for dinner… #unfortunately the bakery place thing i went to did not accept card payments ಥ‿ಥ so i decided to rely on qr code payments instead #big. mistake. (ʘ‿ʘ) my payment was rejected 4 times before i gave up and decided to use cash #unfortunatelyyyyyyy i had no $10 notes left for a quick and easy payment (i only had 2 $2 notes and a $50 note along with some coins) so i. #cue a panicked small change counting as i desperately tried to count as quickly as possible while the customer after me pressured me :( #and did i mention that a lady cut my queue while i was waiting to pay???? (ʘ‿ʘ) pain and suffering #thankfully i barely managed to catch the bus after that tizzy but i was already late for work by then :( #anyways i arrived at work late and decided to check my email app for the lolz. biiiiiig mistake!!!!!!! #i noticed that i had a new email from my father (derogatory) whom i had ghosted years ago. like??? why did he have to email today??? #my day was bad enough without him pls gimme a break. i just. suffering??????????? #so i get to my workstation (the worst workstation ever istg) and note that there actually aren’t many samples today! yay! #…then they freakin’ brought in like 200+ more samples and i realised that the morning shift had yet to finish weighing the morning samples— #pain. and. suffering. (ʘ‿ʘ) looks like i’ll have to work till 3am again. #ughhhhh why did today’s happenings have to happen this week??????? this isn’t a biologically good week for me i’m gonna. throw someone istg #i’m exhausted and annoyed and hating everything and anything sooooo hard rn and i think i need anger management classes bc aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa— #ok rant over time to cry ig. idk. i s w e a r i’m gonna smacc the morning shift people tomorrow if i don’t call out sick first— #it is suiyoubi my dudes

Death Note au where at some point in the Kira investigation, BB switches places with L and only Light notices so now BB is trying to convince everyone that Light is Kira and Light is trying to convince everyone that BB isn’t L, and the police force believes neither of them

#death note #I’m still. sick #made the stupidest mistake yesterday #had to take an important exam that was due last night that I had been trying to put off till I felt better #eventually had to just power through it before it was due #and right before I started it I decided to take some medicine I had finally gotten ahold of #like an idiot #completely forgot how medicine worked #thought it would be like cough drops #no downsides #instead I became immediately lightheaded and dizzy #just had to get it done because this teacher 100% does not accept late work #passed but I really don’t know how I had to guess on so many because I couldn’t comprehend what I was reading #anyways since I’m still sick here’s another death note post #love y’all

[pancakehouse]

going to the bookstore tonight to pick out all the little books im gifting my friends and family my absolute favorite part of christmas shopping im soooo excited teehee

#picking one out for my dad is like. extreme sports #i take it sooo seriously bc he’s read literally everything under the sun and his taste is so. specific. so it’s like #i have to try and find one he 1) hasn’t read and 2) wouldn’t buy for himself but 3) he’ll still love!! #have crushed it last few years but ive got. no ideas. he just bought himself six on the trip like bro. cmon #anyway my friends and sisters will be sooo easy i already know what im getting yay! #and then i write my little notes in them :-) got that from my dad who got it from my great grandpa <3 #it is very cute i love it #okay bye bye have the day from hell and we got home at like 2am yesterday rip me send cookies and strength!!!! #kiss kiss xo

[orcelito]

posted chapter 4 of Sentido

now with the tag of "Plants Shenanigans". i think im very funny for that

#speculation nation #or less that im funny for it and more i just find it funny #im really sleepy and i wonder if that's evident in my author's notes #whelp. hope the chapter's still readable #i wrote like most of it today (yesterday). Whoop whoop #i had like 2 hours between therapy and work. which is where i went and reworked thru the earlier stuff #used my break during my shift to write. and then wrote basically the entire time from when my shift ended #i was feelin it. #tho im not fucking writing on the bridge anymore bc a big group of moms and daughters interrupted me #to ask if i could take their pic. and i mean i did. they were pretty nice about it. but it was still annoying #me writing a metaphysical experience of a man and his extraplanar sister but stopping to take a pic of a rly loud group of women #there was a lil baby puppy that passed by right after tho. that made everything ok #i like writing on the bridge. or reading on the bridge. there are benches in the shade of trees and lots of open air #and plenty of foot traffic sure but it's also much more on the way than my beloved forest path. easier for times like this #where i just kinda wanted to chill a bit. it's fine. #anyways hi hello i posted the thing. i need to go to sleep now. #tomorrow is gonna be hell. lmao.

[shcherbatskya]

biology is my worst class because its not even hard i just don’t care so it’s REALLY hard to keep myself paying attention.

#today i sent emails and moved jstor papers around and yesterday i read a ny times article. instead of taking notes. #samael speaks

🎮 HEY I WANNA MAKE A GAME! 🎮

Yeah I getcha. I was once like you. Pure and naive. Great news. I AM STILL PURE AND NAIVE, GAME DEV IS FUN! But where to start?

To start, here are a couple of entry level softwares you can use! source: I just made a game called In Stars and Time and people are asking me how to start making vidy gaems. Now, without further ado:

SOFTWARES AND ENGINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE!!!

Ren'py (and also a link to it if you click here do it): THE visual novel software. Comic artists, look no further ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It has great documentation! It has a bunch of plugins and UI stuff and assets for you to buy! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) You can also port your game to a BUNCH of consoles! ✨Cons: None really <3 Some games to look at: Doki Doki Literature Club, Bad End Theater, Butterfly Soup

Twine: Great for text-based games! GREAT FOR WRITERS WHO DONT WANNA DRAW!!!!!!!!! (but you can draw if you want) ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's versatile! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) ✨Cons: You can add pictures, but it's a pain. Some games to look at: The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo, Queers In love At The End of The World, Escape Velocity

Bitsy: Little topdown games! ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's (somewhat) intuitive! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! You can make everything in it, from text to sprites to code! Those games sure are small! ✨Cons: Those games sure are small. This is to make THE simplest game. Barely any animation for your sprites, can barely fit a line of text in there. But honestly, the restrictions are refreshing! Some games to look at: honestly I haven't played that many bitsy games because i am a fake gamer. The picture above is from Under A Star Called Sun though and that looks so pretty

RPGMaker: To make RPGs! LIKE ME!!!!! NOTE: I recommend getting the latest version if you can, but all have their pros and cons. You can get a better idea by looking at this post. ✨Pros: Literally everything you need to make an RPG. Has a tutorial inside the software itself that will teach you the basics. Pretty simple to understand, even if you have no coding experience! Also I made a post helping you out with RPGMaker right here! ✨Cons: Some stuff can be hard to figure out. Also, the latest version is expensive. Get it on sale! Some games to look at: Yume Nikki, Hylics, In Stars and Time (hehe. I made it)

engine.lol: collage worlds! it is relatively new so I don't know much about it, but it seems fascinating. picture is from Garden! NOTE: There's a bunch of smaller engines to find out there. Just yesterday I found out there's an Idle Game Maker made by the Cookie Clicker creator. Isn't life wonderful?

✨more advice under the cut. this is Long ok✨

ENGINES I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND THEY SEEM HARD BUT ALSO GIVE IT A TRY I GUESS!!!! :

Unity and Unreal: I don't know anything about those! That looks hard to learn! But indie devs use them! It seems expensive! Follow your dreams though! Don't ask me how!

GameMaker: Wuh I just don't know anything about it either! I just know it's now free if your game is non-commercial (aka, you're not selling it), and Undertale was made on it! It seems good! You probably need some coding experience though!!!

Godot: Man I know even less about this one. Heard good things though!

BUNCHA RANDOM ADVICE!!!!

-Make something small first! Try making simple: a character is in a room, and exits the room. The character can look around, decide to take an item with them, can leave, and maybe the door is locked and you have to find the key. Figuring out how to code something like that, whether it is as a fully text-based game or as an RPGMaker map, should be a good start to figure out how your software of choice works!

-After that, if you have an idea, try first to make the simplest version of that idea. For my timeloop RPG, my simplest version was two rooms: first room you can walk in, second room with the King, where a cutscene automatically plays and the battle starts, you immediately die, and loop back to the first room, with the text from this point on reflecting this change. I think I also added a loop counter. This helped me figure out the most important thing: Can This Game Be Made? After that, the rest is just fun stuff. So if you want to make a dating sim, try and figure out how to add choices, and how to have affection points go up and down depending on your choices! If you want to make a platformer, figure out how to make your character move and jump and how to create a simple level! If you just want to make a kinetic visual novel with no choices, figure out how to add text, and how to add portraits! You'll be surprised at how powerful you'll feel after having figured even those simple things out.

-If you have a programming problem or just get confused, never underestimate the power of asking Google! You most likely won't be the only person asking this question, and you will learn some useful tips! If you are powerful enough, you can even… Ask people??? On forums??? Not me though.

-Yeah I know you probably want to make Your Big Idea RIGHT NOW but please. Make a smaller prototype first. You need to get that experience. Trust me.

-If you are not a womanthing of many skills like me, you might realize you need help. Maybe you need an artist, or a programmer. So! Game jams on itch.io are a great way to get to work and meet other game devs that have different strengths! Or ask around! Maybe your artist friend secretly always wanted to draw for a game. Ask! Collaborate! Have fun!!!

I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye

i am in hell

#I literally just can’t bring myself to care about this proposal #I KNOW it’s important and I have limited time now #as of today I have two weeks to finish it and I currently have written nothing <3 #I’m meant to have a first draft by Monday #but it’s 5pm and I’m so sleepy and I am overwhelmed whenever I look at it #I’ve read so much. so much. and I still feel like I know nothing. and my supervisor is kinda useless #I think the real problem might be that there’s so much stuff that I’m scaring myself off #and I know I need to take it a little bit at a time but to do THAT I have to wade through my folder of like 60 sources #and figure out which one said the specific thing I’m thinking of or like where to look to find what I need to write about #and I keep reading stuff that makes me feel like I’m talking complete shit because I could be! my supervisor sure as fuck hasn’t checked! #I need to write what’s basically a mini literature review on the stuff that’s relevant and I mean like I THINK that this hasn’t been done #but people have been studying stuff in this field for like 70 years so you know how many papers that is. the last 40 are even relevant today #idk. I was falling asleep in the library yesterday after an hour and I’ve gotten so little done this week #if anyone has recommendations for reference management software that 1. can make tags to organise things 2. can have little notes added #3. can import from zotero I would love you forever #pls god help me I’m drowning here #luke.txt

It’s hashtag finals week and I have jackshit to do in some of my classes so you guys are never gonna guess who’s gonna reread homestuck

#homestuck #I’m just chilling here in class waiting for the period to end because I finished the review guide like yesterday #and the dude in front of me is violently taking notes to prepare for tomorrow and I feel kinda bad just like chilling here scrolling tumblr #after having it uninstalled for like 817281 years #I wish my chrome book didn’t block tumblr so I could do more on it during class other than read Xkcd
