#jumping ahead in the story

[cupophrogs]

…I can see why Rich fell in love with Charles. He’s handsome.

"He is, isn't he? I'm glad to see that he kept his hair long, he always said it such a hassle to care for. Made me braid it every night, before bed. It got less tangled that way."

#Dogday is feeling wistful #bro is conflicted #fyi there may be a pause in Three D's things while I figure out how to continue the story! #I've got some writing to do before I jump ahead #the three d's #ask the three d's #dogday #charles poppy playtime #dogday poppy playtime

btw Still thinking about the moment where Tula first realizes she's literally, mechanically unable to keep up with / catch Jaysohn when he bolts and runs his full speed. That revelation that she's not fast enough to stop him, or get alongside him, much less get in front of him to protect him if he needed it. The dread terror of it. :(

#N posts stuff #dimension 20 #d20: stupendous stoats #burrow's end #Siobhan said it almost like a joke but then Aabria put Weight behind it and oh boy. oh boy. there's Terror there babey!!!!!! #sure hope that doesn't come back in any significant way in any significant scene. ........... #It's like the moment in ep 2 when Tula's initiative fell behind Both Lila and Jaysohn and the only thing she could do was Watch #as they both jumped into the battle ahead of her. because she couldn't keep up with them... #look Sometimes catching a recurring theme in an actual play show doesn't necessarily Mean anything bc of the improv nature of it #but Obviously the dice also tell stories. and Aabria is a Fantastic GM. and the players are Excellent at role play. so it's..... 👀 #certainly not off the table. G-D i'm so invested in this season i'm fully gonna lose my mind no matter what happens lmao #i'm on the edge of my SEAT

watching yyh and i’m not very far but i am feeling a little insane about how casually self sacrificing yusuke is, how he’s literally incapable of seeing his own worth or thinking ahead for one second to realize that the people around him do actually love him. he knows they do, he’s been shown that multiple times, but it’s like he can’t believe it. and how he keeps thoughtlessly throwing his life away for other people and the universe keeps going, okay kid, that was really good of you so we’re gonna give you One More Chance so take it seriously alright? but he can’t. HE CAN’T take his own life seriously. he’s such a wonderful kind boy but he can’t recognize that within himself. he’s just a thug, he’s a burden, he’s a bother, he’s not worth anyone’s time and these are ideas are so internalized that he doesn’t even realize the problem with constantly using his own life as a bargaining chip.

#maybe i’m getting ahead of myself but i AM thinking about how he jumped to help kurama #after hearing his story about feeling like a monster leeching off his mom and the constant guilt and debt he feels about that #just saying it’s interesting how much that moved yusuke. i’m normal about it okay #don’t beat me up if i’m wrong i’m only on like episode 8 aghdg #may as well have a liveblog tag even though i never use those much #yyh liveblogging #yyh #sully is typing

enstars you cant just set the event story for the tatsumi center alkaloid climax BEFORE SS AND OBBLIGATO. you cant just do that. like come on.

#i know we are getting a main story continuation next year #but still how can it be a climax event if the center character has already had important development in events set after this. #actually idk when all the others are set now that i think abt it but this is the one i care the most abt okay #and its a pet peeve of mine when they go out of order but not really account for that fact #enstars #like. ss had tatsumi five star and hiiro four star. and for a reason. ugh #is there any chance theyll jump ahead in the second part of the story..

Transcript:

Courtney: [winces] Oof-… Bruno: You okay? Courtney: I’m fine, he just likes getting his little feet all up in my ribs.

Bruno: Sure? Courtney: I’m sure. Bruno: Good, ‘cause the nearest hospital is a long way away…

Courtney: I’m okay, I promise. Bruno: I guess it’s not easy, growing a new person. Courtney: It’s more painful than I imagined, in lots of weird little ways.

Bruno: People usually say it’s worth it. Courtney: For sure! I love being pregnant, but it’s starting to get uncomfortable now. Bruno: Not much longer at least.

Courtney: I’m so excited, I can’t wait to see what he looks like; who he becomes… Have you ever thought about having kids? Bruno: [laughs dryly] No. Courtney: Not your thing?

Bruno: I’ve never really given much thought to it, I’m not sure I should start now. Courtney: Oh, I see. Bruno: Hm.

Courtney: Hey! You never know. Bruno: Where’s Oscar? Courtney: He’s outside.

…

Courtney: He’s kinda closed off, isn’t he? Ivan: He’s the definition of reserved, for the most part anyhow. Courtney: Does he talk to you about stuff though?

Ivan: Kinda. He seems t’hold everythin’ in until it all tumbles out at once. Courtney: I’ve heard that’s no good for you. Ivan: [snorts] We’re all hypocrites, ain’t we?

Courtney: Me? Never. Ivan: T’be fair, I don’t think he wants t’be like that. I reckon he’d be real different, if it weren’t for.. everythin’. Courtney: I think the same could be said for the rest of us…

TWINS: THE SERIES (2023, THAILAND)

Episode 5

Post 1 of 3

Jack (THOTSAWAT SING-UPPO aka TUSS) and Mike (APIVIT UEAMAHASOPA aka TEN) suddenly seem closer as Mike is aiming to make roommate and teammate Jack feel better after his ho hum demeanor after the volleyball team lost their game.

This couple moves ahead of the pack since they are the only one to show some actual affection. A little out of left field considering last week Mike almost seemed offended Jack was staring him down like Hungry Man Jack but either way I like these two.

However are they a couple? Or Friends with...

i haven't reread the start of the 17th round, but iirc season 3 would mean that we get to see tesilid in casual wear 👁️ 👁️

i mean given that all Ailette's dad seems to wear is officecore collared shirts and pressed trousers (rip men's fashion), i don't have super high hopes, but still. tesilid outside clerical uniform! !!! !!!

#s-class heroine spoilers #so i say before season 2 even ends HAHAHAHA #jumping SO far ahead rn #manifesting tesilid post-entire story wearing like whatever the fuck he wants #boy has been stuck in uniform since he was a CHILD im going to THROW UP #and if thats not bad enough he also spent years upon years during regression wearing his uniform too #he's going to have such shitty taste in fashion probably #but would probably have fun. i think #<- increasingly delusional

as enthusiastically requested: oc infodump below the cut <:)

in his youth, the sickly Lord Aurelius Iuvenalis of the country of Melrahel was appointed a young boy his age to be his companion til death - Everett Althorn, the son of a knight in the service of Aurelius's father. by blood oath the two were bound forevermore. Aurelius was not expected to live long; only 20 years of indentured servitude was a simple sentence for an elf, after all.

the two grew up together, sharing meals, tutoring lessons; sharing nearly every moment with each other, rarely seen alone. as Aurelius' health deteriorated in his early 20s, he turned to desperate measures in the throes of sickness, and evoked the help of a dark, magical force in order to cure his illness and live far longer than any physician had ever predicted. and so the only heir to Melrahel rose again, but with a cure came immense consequences.

through his newfound health and power came newfound gluttony, unyielding and all-consuming, that fueled his rise to the throne. Melrahel prospered in those early years of his rule, but few attributed its success to the new lord's companion Everett. fewer still noticed the effect his presence brought to Aurelius. no one knew him better - and arguably, no one knew how to run Melrahel better, either. as Aurelius continued his path of incessant hedonism, Everett did more for both him and the country; became smarter, grew in power himself.

as many wives came and went, no luck for an heir, Everett stayed. as the courts came and went and fewer graced the inside of the castle's cold walls, as Aurelius dwindled into a hermit's solitude, Everett stayed.

his advisor. his companion. his dearest friend. his - no, there are some things that shan't be discussed within the court, no matter how obvious they may be.

keep flipflopping between writing brother rabbit as one continuous piece and jumping around from plot point to plot point. im currently writing it in the order i think everything should be presented and its WORKING, im still writing daily and it isnt terrible even when it also isnt great. i think my current frustration is just coming from the fact that im writing a pov that Isnt Aliss and i want to Write Aliss Again. i could do that, i know where to pick him up after im done with this section, but theres two issues w that idea:

1) those other povs will still need to be written and putting them off wont make them easier

2) i can sometimes be bad abt remembering to actually... go back. which is why i stopped writing out of order in the first place.

maybe ive gotten good enough at my editing to not have to worry as much about that though like. for clarifications sake: i write everything longhand in a notebook, and recently ive finally gotten around to transcribing/editing often rewriting all that into scrivener, and thats been going well, so maybe i /can/ trust myself to actually write those bits when i Need To but...

i dunno!!! i do not know-

#brother rabbit #this is mostly just vacant rambling trying 2 figure out what to do next #i did one of the povs i need for this section already #partway thru another so i kinda feel like i should finish it so i dont feel like im abandoning it but aaauuuugh #am i dissatisfied for valid reasons or just impatient to get back to my blorbo? #theres three more non-aliss sections after this... #i could jump to the next pov and see what that does #maybe im still just stuck on how do do irving right- #unrelated: if anyone wants my scrivener code im always happy to share it #its a household license and this is my household so come n get it #i had a dream abt skipping ahead too tho #which is maybe the only writing dream ive ever had and was a VERY direct message from my subconscious #but it might also be because im reading max brand and he does a lot of action and all the characters im doing right now are kinda expositing #so theres story motion but not actiony fun stuff #thats all aliss at present #so really this feels like its just me wanting to write the fun parts and ignore the hard shit #but ill hafta do it /eventually/ so i should do it /now/ #AUUUUGH

One thing I have to thank having Speed Racer as my first fandom ever for

is that it's practically impossible to frustrate me with adaptations being different from source material. However drastically.

No shade to fans who get salty about character rewamps or loose story interpretations, but when your first ever exposure to Media You Care About was a franchise that NEVER had two interpretations consistent with each other (story, time period, setting, location, race, names, looks, character development, family dynamics, who is related to whom, fucking car design, future generations consistency, you name it - they flipped it AT LEAST once)... You just never develop the ability to give a fuck!

#I kinda. see different iterations as separate things because of that. #maybe that's why I also don't understand why people get a hair up the ass about black actors being cast for white roles #or allegedly white anyway #I've watched my boy jumping between being Japanese and American and his name is actually Go but they localized him as Speed #and then americam comics went ahead and named him GREG and also for some reason made him and his brothers adopted? #and 97' anime for some reason took his little brother and made him his girlfriend's younger brother? #they give him one son in one mini-series and then scrapped the poor kid and gave him two others instead #the 90s american cartoon BUTCHERED THE CAR #and the 2008 movie straight up changed the world the vibe the setting and the racing itself #there are two Mach 6s in this canon somehow but they are different cars #multiverse I guess! #anyway that was my first formative fandom experience #all of THAT #so now when people on my dash are getting sad and salty about iterations (I'm talking iterations not direct continuations ofc) #I just. Can't relate #rip to y'all I'm different etc etc #....come to think of it my SECOND formative fandom experience was W.I.T.C.H. #and everyone initiated knows that the animated show quickly whirred off the fucking rails from the comic's plot #so no #I didn't get the memo that different iterations of a story are meant to be in any way consistent :DDD

Chapter 43: A Leap Ahead

At this time, I will take advantage of one of the many benefits of such narratives and make only cursory mention of the events of the following three years. After all, they were relatively happy years for Cicero and his family – and nothing makes for more tedious reading than happy times.

Cicero’s aedileship, of course, was a tremendous success, even by Rome’s high standards.

Aediles, of course, had three primary responsibilities at that time. First and foremost was the care of Rome herself, including the repair and upkeep of temples, public buildings, streets and aquaducts, so Cicero could often be found working diligently at construction and repair sites across the city.

Second, aediles were charged with the public distribution of grain. Here, his defeat of Gaius Verres stood him in good stead. Well known and loved in Sicily, Cicero was able to buy grain at a discount from its grateful inhabitants, and, in fact, was even gifted a full shipment of grain at no charge. As a result, grain prices during his aedileship fell to an all-time low, increasing his popularity exponentially – much to the frustration of the other men in office.

The third of Cicero’s duties as aedile was the organization of the Roman games. Cashing in many of the gifts and legacies he had received from his Sicilian clients, Cicero spared no expense in making the games memorable.

He had never cared for gladiatorial combat himself – he’d simply never had the stomach for it. But the Roman games that year were an exception, and he stood proudly in a place of honor to accept the adoration of his people.

The highlight of the day was an Egyptian warrior, whose skill with a blade left his opponent lying dead on the arena floor. Fortunately, the crowd was too focused on the action in the arena to notice Cicero’s discomfort as the blood began flowing.

Little Tullia, Cicero’s daughter, had grown into a lovely young woman who was the apple of her father’s eye. Smart, capable and always smiling, Tullia had taken quite a liking to young Gaius Calpurnius Piso Frugi, who had remained on and was assisting Cicero with his court cases.

It seemed to Cicero that Frugi returned his daughter’s affection, and hoped to arrange a marriage between them. Tullia was amply dowered, and Cicero’s growing prestige made the girl even more attractive to suitors – even to a wealthy plebeian family like Frugi’s.

While Terentia had originally had her heart set on a patrician match for her only daughter, her focus shifted when, about a year after Cicero’s aedileship ended, she gave birth to a son – Marcus Tullius Cicero Minor – who would become the most important person in her life. Cicero, of course, was thrilled to have a son and heir, but Tullia would, until the end of his days, be his first and only love.

In celebration of his successful aedileship, and the birth of his son, Cicero purchased a villa in Tusculum, a town on the southern edge of the Alban Hills, south of Rome. While Cicero had always insisted on keeping the family’s smaller town home in Rome to support his image as a man of the people, he was not at all concerned at how luxurious the villa in Tusculum might be in comparison, saying “what the voters of Rome do not know will not hurt them.”

It was at the end of this joyous interlude, with my master basking in the radiance of his growing wealth and influence, that we shall resume our story. The arrival of tragic news would soon begin a cascade that would impact Cicero’s prospects for some time to come.

your jellyfish dating sim sounds really cool even as a base idea :0 if you ever decide to make it a real thing i can poke around to find assets n stuff if you want!

Ahhhh!! tysm!!! That would be very much appreciated ;w;;;!

Jellyfish are sort of mysterious little creatures so 🤔 unlike hatomoa I can't really go to the zoo and take pictures of all the creatures I want to to use as sprites. (I'll probably be able to get pictures of the moon jellies and stuff but you can't really snap a picture of a helmet jelly easily, lol).

#I won't start programming until I at least have stories for all the characters down but yea I definitely will need to scour the internet- #-for pictures of jellyfish I can hopefully edit into otome game sprites #as for music I'll probably just snag them from royalty free places. Like Kevin Macleod #maybe I'll finally get to use some of Erik Satie's compositions hehe.......... #(i love that man so much he's so fun) #anyway uhm uh #yeah it's almost 1 and i have. a big day ahead of me tomorrow so i should probalby sleep soon haha #ask #mun rambles #jellyfish #love ya tekki <33 #i won't try to jump the boat too soon tho since I don't really have any story in mind haha #gotta get that ready before I start gathering stuff #btw I'm using twinery to plan the visual novel :) it's very good for plannnig out branching storylines n whatnot
