#it'll at least be well written

[nyxire]

finished a book 😊

#it was good except for the romance which is going to get on my nerves later on in the trilogy #but i will solider on. #book is called a darker shade of magic if u r interested #holland my beloved #i just know that bitch is gonna come back #changing subject. but im sorry but im just so done with romance #sowry. but even putting that aside kell & lila romance honestly like 4-5/10 for me :/ #i would just prefer if they were like besties or something. try out the romance thing. doesn't work and now they r just 2 bffs #its on me honestly. i picked up the book. read the back. sighed and went 'well the 2 mc's are obviously going to get together. whatever' #ik ik. they aren't technically together but there's 2 more books and somehow i don't see it going any other way. #also. lila is defintely going to end up an antari. which. alright i guess. #i will be happy if she doesn't. don't get me wrong i absolutly love her but she's plenty badass as it is. making her this extremely rare #one of a kind magical person seems like overkill. so crossing my fingers but i at least hv confidence that even if that does happen #it'll at least be well written #don't get me wrong im not saying no magic for lila. and it's fine if she's rlly skilled/very powerful. just. antari rlly seems like overkil #honestly even with regular magic. she shouldn't be to strong with it. part of her whole thing is that she's from grey london. & she was get #ting along well even without magic. so she has no real need to be incredibly strong with it #Okay now that i've gotten all my gripes out of the way (so sorry to drag down. i really did love the book & characters) #HER (lila) #the only character ever #same goes for Kell. but lila is funnier #kell is funny both in humor and bc he is an overdramatic bitch. #lila is just funny. #and she is smart!! and so very awesome!! #also i briefly jumped onto the fandom (i hv stayed spoiler free) and a lot of ppl seemed to think kell was sorta stoic & serious which is #idk i find that interesting cus thats kinda not at all what i got from him #around lila he usually serious (lila's also very troublemaking. in his defense) but from his POV & just other random tidbits #he seems rather chill (but i wouldn't say laid back) he's got a sense of humor and he's a bit mischievous. wouldn't clal him an instigator #but he seems to enjoy messing with ppl from time to time as well. next to rhy he get more serious but not terribly so. he just seems more #serious bc rhy is more grandiose.

It's been more than 20 years and for some reason I feel that Gosho hasn't given Kaiao any development, how can more than 20 years pass and Aoko dynamics, relationship and feelings remain the same? At this point I feel like Gosho is just going to make them date because "they already liked each other" they remain in the same status quo

Hey, if we go by DC romance progress, they've been going too fast. We've already had suspicion of identity chapters, and that didn't happen until more than 400 chapters in DC. /j

Since heists have taken over any character development recently, I don't even know if Kaito and Aoko will even get any romantic progress. Maybe the actual identity confrontation will happen down the line, since that's thief drama, but atm, it really wouldn't surprise me if they only ask each other on a real date at the very end of the manga.

Like. I'm sure Gosho would love to make MK a love drama as well, but he writes MK so rarely, and usually as hype for something Kid related in other media. So the MK stories tend to be heavy on drama that can only take place at Kid heists. (To the point that the new chapters just. Use Kid as the plot device to show off a new character. Even Hakuba's never gotten so much 'look at this character being a detective' treatment in MK.)

-sighs- I just feel bad for MK as a series at this point. I like the characters, I like the general story idea, but. It's been going down a very steep hill with Gosho wanting things exciting, but not wanting any real progress in. Anything. But unlike old MK, the new stories aren't even nice standalone setpieces of story, they're... mundane. They could be high stakes, if you purely look at the scenarios on paper, but. We all know nothing's gonna happen to Kid. Nothing even happens to him when the actual bad guys show up, much less one-time antagonists.

We need actual character focus and development, not heist drama. Badly. Not even romance, though that'd be a nice change. Just any character expansion of our limited cast of characters. Gosho wants big, all the time, meaningless big stuff, when small would be so nice.

#And also he probably won't care to expand on KaiAo when he knows it's already canon #Like; not in the same way that ShinRan is canon endgame and he just needed to write it out #But in a 'I said these two were dating in another manga; they will exist even if I haven't written it' #And his story atm does feel like it could be left off with an ambiguous note on if they're together or not #And then just leave them dating in Yaiba for people who care about confirmation #MK is not in a stable enough state; I really don't know what he's planning with anything #And it's been so. -gestures to all the 'meaningless big stuff'- lately #I don't know if it'll ever get any shift in focus in the future #We barely get anything; all we have now is a new character people are divided about #And the tiniest continuity of Aoko thinking to herself that Kid is teasing her by reminding her of Kaito #Like; part of the problem is continuity as well; at least if Gosho wants to stick with DC-ish MK #MK has all the potential for callbacks or returning characters that could be interesting #But none of the potential that fans enjoy is ever /used/ #We got all our KaiAo up front. We have suspicion arcs where it's barely mentioned that Kaito's proven his innocence in the past #They could go back to the amusement park and Aoko could mention the movie and Kaito can be sweating #Because he never saw the movie; that's then he peaced out to go heisting #There's so much. Gosho's good at adding potential to his story #But everything he comes up with to make canon ends up disappointing because he never fully uses any of it #He just adds more and more elements that go nowhere #MK is a mess that gets more and more fun to play around in; but the actual chapters are. Bad #Which might be for a reason similar to DC of we wait so long and get something extremely meh #Except instead of the months between DC cases; it's years for MK; and DC fans complain the entire time #So when MK fans are fed crumbs of... anything. It's just not as enjoyable as new content should be #(I got rambly in tags; sorry ;._. )

i love driftrod so much man. they really are everything to each other. like, i am a multishipper okay, so i do enjoy most ships/relationships/pairings etc whatever. i do like other ships involving drift and rod of course but there's something about driftrod that ugh. it gets me. they're best friends they're boyfriends they're fuck buddies they're idiots in love they're bros they're sugar daddy and baby they're partners in crime they're sparkmates (soulmates) they're girlfailures together they're married they're everything. seriously. they have the range. i bet they learnt between them how to kiss and probably how to interface. they trust and rely on each other so much. rod cares so much about drift's opinion and trusts his judgement. they want to impress each other so much. drift bought the lost light ship and gifted it to rod. the fucking ship man. i bet they keep count of their kills like a game and annoy each other when one had more kills than the other. drift spends so much time in rod's quarters. he took the blame for the overlord incident (either for rod or for the crew he still saved rod at the moment, and later rod took responsibility for it). i haven't finished mtmte/ll but i have printed on my brain that panel where rod says to drift 'i don't trust myself with words but you taught me there are many ways to speak to someone. read my aura, listen to my voice's timbre, look into my eyes. that way you'll understand how bad i feel and how badly i want things to be as they were.' man stop you're killing me. they seriously have everything. fluff smut angst etc. they love each other so much and they're beyond the romantic/platonic/etc planes. my brain chemistry has changed bc of them

#txt #driftrod #i need to keep reading the comic lmao but i'm having Reader Block and i. i hate this #i want to read and i can't #they're haunting me at 3am but this is going into the queue so it'll probably be like. 4pm or something #also you can add layers and layers to their relationship like #i've seen (and i didn't rb for being an idiot) that script where apparently rod made drift go to delphi #like drift said he volunteered but in the script he says that he and rod had a fight and rod made him go #and well. at least from what i know rod at first was written more fucked up than what he is in the actual comic #and with that his relationship with drift of course #man they have EVERY FLAVOR

[icewindandboringhorror]

finally finished all of one character's entire quests/optional dialogue/questions/etc.... 100,000 words... .... aughhh

#Given some of it IS lines of code and stuff but like.. minus all that it's still probably at least 85 - 95k words hhhhhh #AND I have to do this for another 3 characters. Then a few partial quests for 3 others. THEN the other random misc stuff in the game #(like there are public areas in the city like a park and a forest that you can go and do a few things at. and chat with a few random #townsfolk that aren't actually full characters or anything. And there's a community board where you can #browse some of the random job advertisments or silly things that happen to be posted around #and also pick up a few odd jobs of your own to help earn coin to buy gifts for the npcs. etc. etc.) #Originally I was thinking like 'ah I'll make a short little game just to try it out! :3 It'll take maybe a few months!'' #haha........................hee hee........................................hoho #Also evil that it would have been done already if I didn't totally drop itand stop working on it for like 5 years randomly #i could have made 5 years of steady slow progress gradually. instead of like 'one initial idea dump + about a month of art and writing' #...... 5 year break..... 'sudden mad dash to try to get probably 400.000 words written in a year or less' lol #I just really want to be done and have something out there already so it can lead to doing other things in my world..!!!!!! T o T #Like this can be an introduction and then maybe from that I can make other games. or short story anthologies. or other such things #But there needs to be some initially not very complex easy to interact with starting point first I guess... if that makes sense #That's part of why I stopped posting worldbuilding lore dump stuff as often because its' like.. massive walls of novella length #text are much more inacessible to engage with than like.. ooh a game! and there's characters! so its more approachable! and theres #visuals! oo! and the text is broken up in small bits line by line with other things in betwen! oo! etc. etc. lol #Not that THIS is even very accessible. I think dialogue heavy interactive fiction/visual novel type stuff is pretty niche and considered #boring or tedious compared to something with more ''gamplay'' like where you can actually move around in a world #and shoot things or whatever lol. But its an inbetween point. something SLIGHTLY #more accesible for now. Since i just dont have the budget or means or ability to make some skyrim type thing obviously LOL #Though maybe if theres any interest in the visual novel that could lead to making other things too. or at least I hope. I have a VERY cool #idea for a more ''gamey'' type of game that is a super fun concept and etc. but I would need to hire at least 2 people to make it.. ough.. #I could do all the writing and probably half of the art. But I think I'd inevitably need a 3d artist and someone who can Code For Real hbjh #the system for ren'py (the thing I'm making a visual novel in) is not that complicated if you stick to just simple dialogue and stuff. #Making a whole moderately sized 3d game with minigames in it and a bunch of quest features and etc. would be out of my simplistic scope #''just learn it yourself!!' ... i barely manage to eat and sleep reliably every day lol... i do not function well enough to spend months #learning that many new skills. I already have a lot of of things I'm good at (not in a braggy way but just factually like.. i already have #a wide variety of different things under my belt).. at some point I have to just be happy with what i CAN already do and focus on that #and admit I need to get outside help sometimes ghjbh... NO more new skills/hobbies!!! ... ANYWAY

reading an unpublished partial draft and realizing that the fic isn't gonna finish itself

#i just want yue to become a kyoshi warrior and team up with zuko and later jet... the utter potential of that trio!! the power!!! #but if i want to read this very specific scenario i must write it myself. it's gonna be a MAJOR fucking longfic too. like at least a yr of #precanon as well as books 1 2 and 3. book one would probably be the broad strokes save for minor divergences. but it'd start to veer into #major au territory in s2 and idk what s3 would look like. idek what s2 would look like tbh! and s1 is still in the conceptual phase!! i #have abt 13k precanon written out but even that is a small fraction of what i need to write. at this point i'm p sure it would be a series #which is incredibly intimidating!!! augh. i'm bummed abt the scope of this project meaning it'll probably never even get published 🥲 #len speaks

[orcelito]

i miss akechi goro so much. maybe even enough to finally finish that ladue chapter 3

#speculation nation #ladue shit #listen hes such an asshole and i NEEEEEEED to channel his voice for a bit again #if this urge persists to tomorrow i'll crack open the fic again. for a little reread. #this will satisfy only approximately 53 people (the total subscribers to that fic) #which ok that's actually a good few people when i think about them as actual people #but it's the least amount of subscriptions i have out of most of my multichapters #EVEN STILL. it's a matter of pride and self-satisfaction. #and god fucking damn i have 18k for chapter 3 already written. i literally just need to close the damn scene up #it's been over a YEAR NOWWWWWWWWWW like holy fucking shit. i need this OUT ALREADYYYYYYYYYYY #ladue chapter 3 i will free you into the abyss. i cannot promise more than chapter 3 but i can promise a chapter 3 at least. #i had a whole plan for the fic but idk if i'll ever be able to write it #considering it's taken like. ... years. between chapters. #it took me 2 years to post chapter 2 and it's been a year now since then. ugh. #see the thing is chapter 3 closes the initial arc of them starting to date. and then there's more stuff. #maybe i'll keep it open just in case the urge strikes me to continue it eventually. #and if it never does. i might make a 4th chapter that outlines the eventual plans i had for the fic. so that people know at least. #ive seen that a Few times for discontinued fics. #....but the thing is i dont want to mark any of my fics discontinued!!!! theyre all my darlings!!! i want to go back to them all eventually #i'll just have to see. if a chapter 4 ends up taking several more years. well. maybe it'll be time to call it there. who fucking knows lol #i'll try to get chapter 3 finished sometime soon though. i really want to have it out already.

I just finished Glass Onion and holy shit I loved that. Although I absolutely adored Peg's character I wish she would've had more of a part. And was I the only one noticing that Peg was absolutely drooling over Helen? It was so blatant and I was actually really disappointed nothing happened there. They didn't even have any interaction. Otherwise I was ecstatic the entire time watching

#glass onion #like i know i'm a shipper but like it felt different i actually thought they might build upon the drooling for something #I had some hopes that there would at least be hinting at something from Peg later on #even though if we're being honest i really hoped that they'd end up getting away from the assholes together #but i knew that was an itsy bit far fetched #I'd say I'll write the fic for it myself but like will i actually do that? that's also an itsy bit far fetched #if i do it'll probably be half written in a hazy frenzy of 2-5am sleep deprivation & then sit untouched next to all the other sapphic wips #of which ove bever actually published a single one but anyhoo the movie was amazing #of which I've never actually published a single one but anyhoo the movie was amazing #and im rambling cause its 6:30 when i should've been asleep at least 3 hours ago and sleepy me LOVES writing words #glass onion: a knives out mystery #glass onion spoilers #well kinda but also not really unless Peg and Helen not getting together is any important spoiler to anyone other than me

Adding drabbles to the Menagerie on AO3 be like:

Existential Ralsei #17 Ralsei Pines for Kris #12 Ralsei Rages Against His Purpose #7 Ralsei Addresses The Allegations #2 Ralsei Offers Himself Up As A Literal Romantic Prize To The Player Using Some Of The Most Violently Suggestive Language You Could Possibly Think Of...

...Yeah, think I'll leave that one out, haha

#rambling #The Dark Menagerie #That fic was written in a bout of insanity #And while I'm not ashamed of it #Reading it back is... well #It's definitely of a different... tone to the others #And I'd have to bump the age rating of the collection up to like M at least #And all that for one drabble in a collection of like 30 is a bit extreme #maybe it'll go up as its own thing someday

[willowcrowned]

just submitted the preliminary version of the phonetic inventory for Dathomiri. here's a copy, if anyone wants a look

#btw ten to one it'll change at least a bit so suggestions are welcome #willow makes some words #anyways it's not particularly well written in terms of like. prose #because I kept forgetting I didn't have to write in an academic register and it switches back and forth every few sentences #but it's WAY less messy than my notes and ideas doc so it gets the job done

I love how some of my most used recipes are super vague and then every time I try to bake them I despair over simple things such as 'why hasn't anyone written down a baking time'

#noopa rambles #it's because the friend whose recipe it is originally said 'well I bake it based on Vibes(tm)' #which. does not match well with my personality jdgshsgd #it's been so long since I've baked this specific thing I have no memory of the vague baking time vibes #I think it'll work out it looked pretty good when I last checked it #about to take the littel pie out of the oven very soon #let's hope it turned out well #at least it looks good but I'll have to wait for it to cool down a smidge before I can eat it #let it set a bit etc etc #I did write a vague time down this time for future reference #like. you don't need to stick to the Exact Time bc ovens are different etc etc #but when you have something written down at least you got a baseline for what you're working with #also not to shame my mom's recipes but mom's never have any info on which level of the oven they go #and they Barely got any instructions on what you need to do with the ingredients #like. do I need to whip the sugar and butter or sugar and eggs or not? who knows not the recipe!!! #I do have a few tried and true family heirlooms which I know how to make #but mostly lemme just use the storebought recipe book and the few excellent recipes I've pilfered from friends

And another chapter released! This and the next chapter are sort of a part 1 & 2, but they needed to be split up for... reasons that should be apparent 😈

If you've not been following along so far, this fic is an AU set in an undefined Hermitcraft season post 1.19, and Gem might be a little mind controlled at the moment, kidnapping the other Hermits to seal away in another dimension. If you'd like to read from the start, see here!

I'm gon' give it to ya - Chapter 6

6. Fool Me Twice...

Fandom/Collection: Hermitcraft/@hermitgang-ao3

Words: 1037 of 12723 so far

Summary: (Part 1/2) Gem enchants another item. It doesn't go well.

Preview:

The spiral staircase seemed taller than usual, or at the very least it took much longer to climb. Gem definitely wasn't worried about reaching the top. Not at all nervous with how coolly Pearl had received her gift yesterday, again avoiding putting it on before Gem felt she had outstayed her welcome, just like with xB. And she definitely wasn't concerned at all by the previous day's failure.

No, her magics were strong, thanks to her master. She definitely got the enchantment right this time. Yesterday was an anomaly that would not be repeated!

And hopefully Keralis would be an easier target anyway. The question had been more "what to make" rather than "would he wear it". After a serious amount of brainstorming, the only thing she'd been able to come up with was a cap to protect those large, bulging eyes of his. Though again, it was Keralis. He'd probably try anything she'd throw at him if she asked nicely enough. And she could ask very nicely.

The enchanter finally rounded into view, its gentle thrum pulsing through her head as the levels inside her buzzed resonantly with it. She itched absentmindedly at her arms as the levels tingled against her skin. She'd made sure to get extra this time, just to be safe. Not that she needed to be safe. Her magic was perfectly good, after all.

"Everything alright, Gem?" asked Ren, looking genuinely concerned from his position shackled on the floor.

"Of course I'm alright," she said, forcing her usual friendly smile onto her face. "Here's your carrot."

Ren caught the lobbed vegetable but set it aside. "I believe in you Gem. I know you're in there. I know you can do it."

"Of course I can do it. Yesterday was a pure anomaly. I won't fail again."

"You know that's not what I meant."

She reached down and placed the hat upon the table, pricking her finger with the quill. The levels buzzed harder, threatening to break out of her body. She squeezed her hands into fists, breathing deeply to stabilise the power within her. All she needed was 30 seconds to write the enchantment and they'd be gone.

Keep reading

#hermitcraft #geminitay #rendog #Back to a smaller cast this time around #and I guess I should tag as angst #Gem has a bad time #but I guess at least she ends up on the right track? #this is also about the half-way point chapter wise #and also narrative wise #though not quite half way on the wordcount yet #well it's halfway of what I've written so far on the wordcount #but chapter 11 is complicated and finding the energy to sit down and figure out how it'll play out is hard! #anyway hope you enjoy the chapter #and know I love and appreciate every comment or tag you leave!

Me: I'm not gonna start writing another fic until I've edited and posted every chapter of my current fic so I can put all my energy into finishing it.

Also me: Has just started writing a fic about Hobie and Sage because the fic idea would not leave me alone!!!

#I swear I've written this fic in my mind so many times already #so now I finally decided to just cave in and write the draft at least #maybe that way it'll finally leave me alone lol #don't worry I'm still planing on finishing my current fic! #I just need to get this one out of my system lol #also I realised I haven't really posted much about Sage ever since I first mentioned him so at least I'll remedy that I guess #idk if people even care to read a fic with Sage but I'm gonna write it anyways lol #cause the kid refuses to leave me alone until I've written this fic it seems #Sage is my oc btw. he's a younger Hobie variant with a symbiote who Hobie helps out cause he's been through a lot #I've made some posts about him but lately I've been putting most of my writing energy into my current fic so I have't written much about hi #planning on writing a fic with his origin story once I'm done with my current fic #but it's gonna be long so I guess we'll have to wait and see #I guess it'll also depend on whether anyone's actually interested in reading it #otherwise I might just write it for myself <3 #oh well one thing at a time #hobie brown #spider punk #sage #symbiote!hobie #my post

the rwrb release date is in fact making me go insane. what if they make alex not bisexual somehow. what if it's bad. which gay video essay youtubers that i follow will make videos about it. which of them will be right. which of them will be right but for the wrong reasons. i'm not strong enough to withstand this

BUT. #out of everyone based on how much i trust their ideas about it....... #j*mes s*merton WILL make a video about it. it will not be good. there's a solid 5% chance it's amazing and a 95% chance it's the worst. #both of those are regardless of whether the movie itself ends up good. that's just the vibe immediately. #if formerly-AreTheyGay makes a video abt it it'll AT LEAST be good. i trust him with my life. #if verilybitchie makes a video about then either way it'll be well-written and researched. i trust her to mention why it inevitably sucks #AND be sooooo right about it. #if S*rah Z makes a video either it'll be amazing and accurate OR the worst possible timeline will happen. #and she'll talk about.
