#it's kinda unsatisfying

[lovevalley45]

ethersea s1 ending feels so sudden bc it was kinda like they established some story but didn't give it the time to fully be fleshed out? like benefactor orlean n the drinarr had been there all along but they weren't in the big picture enough after their arcs to feel like suitable threats and even the prophecy with amber and the blink sharks was only brought out up last arc

i think the characters have a lot more potential growth but it just doesn't feel quite like the climatic finales taz usually gives us

#alli says shit #it's kinda unsatisfying #and not to constantly compare naddpod to taz but. even if eldermourne's ending was a lil rushed it felt satisfying still #one bc it felt like the PCs got something they'd wanted from the start even if their stories weren't completely finished #two bc the quest for ireena had been the point for most of their story so it felt right to end with that #n i get ethersea is more open world but then the story being more character driven n ending when it feels right for more of the coriolis #seems like a better choice #hopefully when they come back it'll be a more character driven story rather than feeling like they just get into situations #tbh i feel like i've been really negative abt ethersea and i have been trying to like. talk abt it in a way that doesn't feel rude? #anyone who knows me n legends knows that i feel very strongly abt seemingly wasted potential in stories #and that's the thing! ethersea has all this potential but it feels like it's not being used to its full potential #nothing makes me more upset than the possibility for greatness that misses the mark just enough

Anyway shout out to Dewey who constantly looked like he was having the worst time of his fucking life in the pitches

Just an 11 year old pissed off at the world it seems😭

#insane he ended up being so happy go lucky in canon #like in the art book they talk about the character shift dewey had once ben auditioned #and he made them realize they could take a more comedic approach with him #but initially dewey’s character seemed very negative and irritable #they had the label ‘the bad boy’ of the 3 on him for a bit too #bc of the massive chip on his shoulder and how unsatisfied he was at the time #and tbh you can see bits of that in the pilot #dewey’s character and overall demeanor is very different in the first two eps of s1 #i LOVE my boy as the bright impulsive ball of sunshine and danger that he is #but this original pitch of him intrigues me a lot #like i can talk about pitch!dewey for hours bc #kinda feels like wasted potential idk LMAO #bc he didn’t entirely disappear at least in s1 so #just a lot of dewey thoughts #bc that’s my boy🫶 #ducktales #ducktales 2017 #dewey duck

A little look at the sorta post-reunion endgame era of the replacement Ingo timeline.. +expanding a bit on the thing . I really like stories where characters go through life changing experiences and, at the end of whatever journey or whtv they've been on, ultimately have to make peace with the fact that they've grown into different people and can never really. go back to how they were before.

+But it also adds a kinda bittersweet thing to Sugar & Spice effectively becoming a living memory of how Ingo & Emmet were in their youth

#hoof draws #replacement ingo au #does this. make sense #<-in general it's really unsatisfying when they reunite and ingo kinda just. goes back to his old life like nothing's changed #like ingo & emmet are still friends but it's important to establish that they've very much grown into their own individual people #.plus i feel like it's a sweet sentiment #like. #you are not the idealized memory of yourself that i held onto in hisui. but i still love you and choose to be a part of your life #neway. normal about them right now

don't think or talk about gojo for one (1) day challenge (FAILED)

#i really miss him and started thinking too much about 236 again 😭 #also been thinking since 251 leaks dropped and #im really sad about megumi :( #i really hope he bounces back and ends up being okay in the end #because it would actually be such an unsatisfying character arc if #the character thats spent nearly the entire story always trying to basically throw his life away #ends up actually dying in the end :( #like i want him to get to find a reason to keep going and live life #but i mean gege and unfufilling character arcs kinda be going hand in hand recently (imo) #ofc its not all bad and there are some good ones!! #but yeah....i dont wanna be too negative tho!! like its not all finished #so who knows what could still happen #fie.txt

ive already shown this to anyone who actually cares pretty much loll (anyone following the addison arg) but i might as well post it on here

this is actually the first proper animation ive done :'D like other than this ive animated a ball bouncing but that was more to test the software than anything,, lucky for me i consume animation memes more than i consume water so i know the basics B)

#i need to drink hmm #ok im gonna ramble in the tags about the process because i like rambling #that frame where hes looking down and saying “we're coming” was actually the first frame i did #this was gonna be a stupid meme wtf happened #i can show you the first image it was just joking about how quickly everything had escalated lmao #then i drew that and was like #“woag;;;;; ook so like what if i animated this” #twas GRUELING #it may not have seemed like it bc i didnt mention it when i was wokring on it but i wanted to keep it a surprise lol #anyways im finally free from this stupid animation I CAN DRAW PIN!!! #i ended up redrawing the first frame once or twice because it looked really really bad #then the last ones im still kinda unsatisfied with but i couldnt be arsed to change them #im still unhappy with the way he jolts his head back it feels weird #thing is because of my insistence to keep that one really cool frame in there i had to do it #basically i needed a way to get him from hunched over to back straight looking down with his face hidden at one point #and it ideally had to look very unnatural that was the general goal #but idk i thought that line where Slick called Addon blue bell was really FUCKING COOL #also in a voice message Turnip acknowledged the static #SO PROUD OF MYSELF FOR THAT URUAHGH GURAH GH GHH #YES!!! THE STATIC!!!! I DID DO STATICCC!!!!! #also i know thats probably not what Slick possessing Turnon looked like but thats how i visualised it lol #I was binging tawog while watching this B) #OK actual tag time woag #animation #beginner animator #addison oc #turn off the lights arg #not my oc #addisons deltarune #my eyes hurt

So that it? Izzy’s just fucking dead now? Everyone gets a happy ending but him? What was even the point of having him grow and giving us hope of a better future for him if he was just going to die at the end anyways.

#our flag means death #ofmd s2 spoilers #izzy hands #that kinda sucked #i’m assuming that death was supposed to be emotional but it just felt shallow and unsatisfying #he didn’t even get to have a cool death he just got shot by the wimpy fucker

Okay so, I don't want to give spoilers in this post so this will all be somewhat vague, but I do want to say that there's another part to the Vault of the Roots after the bundles where the player's actions and dialogue are a lot more.. important and meaningful to the story. If anyone felt that this vault's story left a little to be desired, then definitely try the next part! Like I said, this next part gets started after you finish all four bundles (which isn't too hard or time consuming for this one), and like trust me, it's so much more emotionally and narratively satisfying than the first part is.

(Small spoiler in below paragraph for the first part of the quest!)

I don't want to hype it up too much, but it does handle the player's actions, thoughts, and agency a lot better than the first part. I haven't actually finished it yet so I'm not sure how the ending will be, but honestly, I think it'll be good. I think this next part will be especially more gratifying for players who weren't able to convince The Gardener (aka Hekla was the one to change his mind) since our actions and dialogue in this section directly help him in a much bigger way.

#spoilers #kinda?? #like vague but listen #there's a second part after the bundles and so far its much better!! #better in the ways that are narratively important at least #palia #palia game #there is One thing about the player's dialogue that i don't like but i Do think its a bug #so im giving them some leeway here since i dont think its Supposed to be like that #spoilers in tags from this point onward!!! SPOILERS BE UPON YE #but anyway!!! ik there are some other people who felt like the ending was pretty unsatisfying #and now im starting to think thats somewhat on purpose? #apparently the dialogue Really matters in this one since some people were able to convince the gardener without hekla #but either way you still leave feeling kind of.. like you didnt do enough #regardless of Who helps the gardener - he's still there. he's still sad. we still didn't Help him #but there's a second part where we actually do get to help him in a very direct way!!! and he's actually open to it!! #well he's still snarky and all 'I Dont Need You' but like. he's opening up and that's important!! #anyway yeah i wanted to share this since ik i left that vault feeling kinda like 'well alright. what was the point of that.' #i didnt realize there was a second part!! but there is!!!!!! and its so much better and we actually get to help him!!! #friendship ended with einar. now the gardener is my best friend <3

there's a lot of things people blame for why fandoms feel like ghost towns these days, but no one's really talked about the way discord's contributing to it

#its like #people are trying to force fit discord's chatrooms into forum boards #except discord is just. really really *really* poorly setup for that #and theres no way to archive or share it so everything said in it is easily lost despite personal export or community pins or search option #and like #vaguely hearing about the way some people are unsatisfied with them/feeling unfufilled in the response to them #a lot of people would be better off posting those things to places like tumblr #where there isnt a time limit on when people see or respond to them #part of what's scary/frustrating on tumblr rn is some fandoms arent good about reblogging to posts or tag rambling #like with bad buddy a large part of the fun was the enthusiastic and in depth tag rambles and the way responses built on each other #vs something like kinnporsche which feels much more like-oriented #like? its not like theres any one way to fandom #and there's nothing actually wrong with likes or quiet reblogs #but vaguely hearing about the way some people were/are really upset with some servers im just kinda like #idk #feels a bit like people trying to force a square thru a circle or that they're looking in the wrong spaces for what they want #.......this is not a complaint for my space ajkds i think i've carved out a pretty happy space for myself! #im just checking the reblog graphs of some old vs new stuff and thinking about a convo other cookie and i were having over the weekend #i have a lot of friends around and i love everyone who's happy to ramble with me #but i do feel a slight case of DM burnout rn where mostly people reach out to me via DMs instead of reblogs #which is a very different dynamic #its like. hmmm words #i love DMs but the pressure of responding to a lot of individual messages #vs something like reblogs which is more open forum for everyone and feels more communal #if that makes sense? #the difference between visiting one person at home vs casually hanging out with a group at a cafe #and the lovely thing about tumblr specifically is that i can set down a reblog chain for several days if i need #before returning to it later when i have more time/energy #its got Longevity that discord lacks u know #........okay enough tag musings from me ajkfhjdgfhj BYE

[metanarrates]

Post structuralist anon here TYSM that was a very interesting perspective, I also don't know much abt post structuralism tbh, its a new thing I discovered while rereading Orv and looking at meta posts lol. Anyways you mentioned LHS in the post too 👀 can you elaborate cuz ngl it's kinda hard to think of any meta abt him. You don't have to answer this rn!

sure!

i was talking about how orv adults frequently have very gendered arcs, and lhs is a standout example imo. yjh and ysa have the more overtly Gendered Fictional Role stuff (male action hero and female heroine respectively) but lhs has a comparatively more grounded arc that deals with real life highly gendered stuff. his entire thing is that he's a soldier. and not just that he's a soldier, but that he was drafted and could not figure out a better place to exist outside the military. despite the military being a source of trauma for him, despite it crushing any individuality he could have, he still felt like he could not act as an agent of his own destiny without someone giving him orders. when you consider that in south korea the military draft is mandatory for men, that's a really highly gendered background!

#narrates #i like lhs a lot. a LOT of orv adults also have this common thread with kdj of finding ordinary life difficult/unsatisfying #and i think lhs is the most extreme example of it besides kdj and maybe yjh. he is just severely ill equipped to live in ordinary society #its smth i find very relatable particularly with his need for structure #the military is an objectively awful place but its also the only place where he can find that structure #where other people can give him a purpose #so he sticks around! kdj says in his narration that there are a lot of guys like that #who get drafted and since they don't do well in regular society they just kinda stick around in the military #for lhs because he is so lacking in a backbone and a sense of direction he becomes the soldier who turns a blind eye to injustice #because he cannot stand up to his superiors and cannot imagine living without that structure where he does not have to think for himself #he buries his sense of justice due to that! and that makes him just a very interesting character #anyway this is super long. enjoy? #orv

[wordsmithwhumpsandfluff]

Wondering if you could talk a little about how you came up with your character names? I struggle with this sometimes in my own writing and a lot of yours feel very thoughtful and deliberate and evoke specific images in my mind so I’m curious to see if your reasons match what I see. (In particular Spirit, Birdie, Amberlynn, and Keiko) although the first time I read “Birdie” a saw “Bridie” and now I can’t stop thinking of her as Irish, lol.

Oh, absolutely! There's honestly a bit of a story behind it.

I didn't come up with all of the names. A while back, a few friends of mine and I were planning to make a book together, and we each came up with a character based off of us. So, originally, there were only 5 OCs.

-- -- --

First, the names made by me and my friends:

Spirit was my character. Quite literally, I gave her that name because I wanted her to have a spirited soul. One main thing about Spirit is that failure is not an option for her, ever. She's independent, badass, and determined in nearly everything she does.

Birdie was my best friend's character (hence why Spirit and Birdie are BFFs). My friend is a very nature-loving person and is obsessed with birds, and Birdie was a name she was absolutely obsessed with at the time, so that's that.

Amberlynn was made by a friend of mine who loves all things witch-related. I doubt there was any reasoning behind the name other than the fact that it sounded whimsical and pretty.

Jordan also doesn't have much of a meaning. My friend who made up Jordan went through about 20 different names before she just picked this one. But it completely suits the girl, so that's perfect.

Isaac was, originally, the only boy in the group. Because of that (and the fact that the friend who made him is indecisive as hell), we just started voting on random boy names for him. 😅

-- -- --

Then the OCs I made myself:

Keiko's name quite literally means: happy child. That's literally all the explanation I have. Keiko is just a sweetheart who deserves all the happiness in the damn world.

Oliver was a character that my friends and I debated on adding to the book. We just felt that the name was cute and would suit his sweet personality. But we just found his name on a website called 'Baby Boy Names'😭

Eliana just popped into my head. Literally, I was staring at my ceiling at 3am just trying to fall asleep and a little purple-haired girl just popped up in my mind and said, "Hey, I'm Eliana. Want some coffee?" (It's safe to say that I didn't sleep that night🥲)

Atticus got his name from the 'Baby Boy Names' website as well. {*sighs as everyone points and laughs*}

Felix only got his name because I discovered Stray Kids and fell in love with that deep-voiced adorable auzzie. (I only copied his name though. My Felix isn't Korean, a singer, Australian, or taller than 5'4")

Aiden was just a name I felt was cute. That's all the reasoning I have for him.

#oc questions #I feel like this was unsatisfying😅 #thebrilliantidiots #I lowkey love answering questions like this tho.😊 #Just want to clear up that the book-idea with my friends kinda died. They were all fine with me using the names on my own tho✌️
