#my favorite anon in a long time

[blonde-and-cat-suc]

I picked up that infamous "save the cat" scriptwriting book that so many writers keep recommending.

It's the biggest pile of horseshite I've ever read. The author keeps contradicting his own rules, has a strange hatred of the Christopher Nolan film "Memento", keeps trying to redefine specific writing terms to mean something else, admits he only wrote the book to make money and be the one to set "the rules" for script writing, spends most of the book bragging about how many scripts he sold and how many famous friends he has, and classified Schindler's List as a genre he calls "dude who has a problem".

But most importantly, he said that every script needs to have an establishing moment that's supposed to make us like the protagonist and want them to succeed. A moment where the character does something good, like saving a cat, to get us invested in their journey.

So imagine my surprise when we were given an episode called "Save the Cat" in season 5, where all built up themes and story are thrown out the window.

Holy. Shit.

So, I had to go read this for myself after receiving this ask, so I thank you so much for giving this to me. My experience with it was, ah, interesting to say the least. I’ve heard of and used Save the Cat (beat sheet) as a story structure concept in the past (I think most writers are going to be forced to come into contact with STC, right?) But the book it self was for screenwriting and not novel writing, so it never struck me as something particularly noteworthy... Until now.

BOY HOWDY is this a book. It didn’t, um, impact me in a direct way but rather it brought me into this wormhole of other concepts typically used in screenwriting that I’ve heard of but apparently only scratched the surface of. As I’m in this wormhole, they’re voices in the screenwriting community that criticize STC as well—not that I was interested at the time of finding those discussions, having already received this ask and having these points already in my mind. Some other voice were giving completely different advice, and I started to absorb everything with this newfound…. Curiosity…

The only thing that I think is appropriate to leave this post with now is this cool, summarized quote I found somewhere in the middle of the week I spent reading STC + devouring screenwriting research, and you can take it as you will:

“There is a difference between an artist and a creator”.

. . .

. . .

But back to SPOP…

So? Yes? “Save the Cat” (our SPOP episode)? Is a joke? It’s a funny little prod at the audience that expects you to know the real world context of the title, what the title is popular for, and what particular niche it’s popular in. Very clever, very cute.

But honestly. Anon. Dude. This is actually the funniest, highest quality shit I’ve ever had the pleasure of having in my inbox. It got me to read a book I never had the slightest intention of picking up, and learn so many little facts about screenwriting. Kudos to you, please come back whenever you want. You will always have my respect and gratitude.

#this is the only ask ever that has ACTUALLY taken a week to come up with an answer for #STC is … an interesting book and this has been … a journey for sure #my favorite anon in a long time #dude seriously. come back whenever you want to hang out and talk about writing advice books. there is still so much to talk about #but i didn't want to get too off top #thanks for the ask / thanks for discussing with the group

[amoneki-ramblings]

Also, your 'Amon stays in the CCG and works with Haise' AU is fantastic and should have been canon. Poor Amon misses Eyepatch terribly (he still has QUESTIONS damnit!) but doesn't want to get Haise (or Akira) in trouble, so he can't really say much, but he and Haise get suspicious of the CCG being corrupted. They investigate together, but they have to be discreet and they HATE IT, the CCG is supposed to represent justice! Inner!Kaneki drops hints and nags Haise in the background constantly.

YESSSSS GOD AMON AND HAISE NOT INTERACTING IN :RE WAS SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY TO ME I WAS SO GENUINELY SURPRISED WHEN THEY NEVER DID

In the context of my AU I think Amon would feel so let down by the emergence of the Quinx project. He's spent all this time investigating the CCG's suspicious sides and almost uncovered what they were really aiming to do and then it just gets. Announced, just like that. That they're putting ghoul organs in people to use as weapons. It feels wrong. Everything clicks terribly into place. But he can't say anything. And Eyepatch is gone already (or so he Thinks) It all feels anti-climatic, somehow.

Then he meets this new investigator, who shakes his hand and greets him cheerily. He's being mentored by Akira. They are to treat him as a human unless he loses control, to which they'll treat him as a ghoul. It's Eyepatch. It's Haise Sasaki. Amon has to stomach the thought of both working with him and potentially having to "erase" him if he remembers who he is. He likes Haise, even if he's different from Eyepatch, but Haise might not be around forever, for one reason or another. He's never had to kill a co-worker or friend before. (I think, similar to Akira in canon :re Amon would be assigned a big role in leading squads when the CCG has to keep Haise under control. It only makes sense, he's done significant damage to him before, in half-kakuja form no less, and managed to escape this guy even without a weapon. And he's also like, one of the Only Guys who has ever killed a ghoul with his bare hands before.) Still though, the thought of killing Haise, whether it be with a quinque through the heart or the snap of a neck, is nauseating.

The CCG higher-ups are suspicious, obviously, because Amon is the only one who truly knows Everything about Eyepatch, and he might screw with Haise's memories. They're keeping an eye on him and make sure they don't get too close, unless Amon needs to confront Haise, since Haise, even when losing control, just can't seem to hurt him. Not really at least (if it ever does happen he feels So Guilty) ((Also sidenote but Haise probably visibly winces when he first meets Amon. His head hurts and he's not sure why. He feels melancholic and he doesn't know why. He feels a flood of relief. But he doesn't know why. He likes Amon a lot and wants to get to know him. The white-haired ghoul in his head seems particularly fixated on him, won't stop looking at him. Haise somehow knew Amon's name before he was even told what it was. He surmises that it's just because Amon is so well-known in general. (He knows, deep down, that it might be more than just that)))

Haise has small recollections of memories, but he can't tell anyone, obviously. Sometimes he has nightmares of flower fields and battles under the rain. When he and Amon get closer he tells him a little about them. "It's probably nothing" he laughs, unsure, but Amon knows what they really mean. He sees Eyepatch in Haise and it hurts terribly. He fears the chance that he'll never get to ask the questions he had, almost as much as he fears the chance that one day he suddenly will. The answers he's wanted for so long are so close that they are literally standing right next to him, yet they're so far.

As things move forward they definitely try to investigate and figure out the CCG's corrupt system together. But they have to be careful, on the outside co-workers (including Akira) make comments about how close they are and what a good team they make but within the inner-workings of the CCG they have their careful eyes on them. Maybe Akira's a little weary about it, tells Amon as such sometime and Amon says he knows (but there are things he can't tell even her.) Maybe one time Haise and Amon talk briefly, maybe after or during Haise losing control of himself and he says something and it sounds hauntingly like Eyepatch. Haise had looked at him differently during that moment. His voice sounded different. It was pained, but not in the physical sense. Maybe it wasn't Haise at all, actually.

Haise has a dream once about a man shouting asking him if he really is just a ghoul. Somehow he doesn't feel like it's for him. (But surely it means something to Kaneki Ken). Maybe, like in that comic I drew, Kaneki is incredibly relieved that Amon is alive, but also terribly jealous that all he can do is watch from the shadows LOL

Ough sorry I got SO carried away I've just been meaning to list out some of the details of my AU thoughts for AGES this has been living rent free in my mind for MONTHS it's one of my favorite thoughts Ever

It's insane, how many parallels are setup between Kaneki/Haise and Amon, yet Haise and Amon never meet once, even though Amon is foreshadowed constantly during :re. To be fair there is so much going on in :re already but still, man. Man,

#asks #amoneki ramblings #tokyo ghoul #tokyo ghoul re #tg:re #kaneki ken #amon koutarou #amonhaise #amonsasa #amoneki #sorry for the Several Paragraphs of thoughtdumping just #OUGHHH I've been meaning to actually get out my specific ideas for this au for So Long you don't understand #on one hand they'd be such an Unstoppable duo but also the most melancholy pair under the surface and only one of them knows Why #if i was capable of writing long fics... sigh #these specific ideas float in my head All the Time though genuinely my favorite tg au if you have anything to add PLEAAASE SPEAK UP #thank you for enabling me anon :pray: #amonsasa CCG AU

[theheightofdishonor]

I love reading your kagehina posts!! Sometimes I see stuff like they aren't even friends 😭 and probably drifted apart and partner in sports is different from actual friendship lmao

Thank you!

dfghhjkl yeah i've seen those claims and I firmly believe that anyone who's saying any of that needs to take reading comprehension 101. I've talked about this claim a little bit here but to reiterate, kageyama and hinata's bond- their unique connection, the meaningfulness of it, the way that they support and teach and learn from each other- is one of the core aspects of the series. Like, there were so many instances of people commenting about how special their relationship was that I made a list. This post here I think are also relevant to addressing this. (if you couldn't tell, i talk about this a lot lol. But I don't mind talking about it some more)

Point is, they mean a lot to each other. And yes, haikyuu does make a point of showing how volleyball isn't always a 1 v 1 comparison to irl and how volleyball doesn't have to mean everything to be meaningful but at the same time, that's inapplicable to hinata and kageyama because the other side of that coin is that sometimes, volleyball is everything. It could not possibly be more in your face that Kageyama and Hinata formed an instantaneous connection and became a duo to be feared like overnight because they recognized that the other person is exactly like them- someone who will give everything for volleyball, who will never give up, a person who complements them. and understands them. Kageyama's little backstory moment that changed everything (and fucked me up permanently) is that he's been waiting for (someone like) Hinata his entire life. So what if they're not be hanging out 24/7 outside of volleyball? (which they do hang out outside of matches btw later on in life, kageyama asked hinata to play beach vb with kunimi and kindaichi) They already have a mutual understanding about the importance of volleyball in their lives. Also like, even in the last chapter/panel of haikyuu literally just reiterates that for the two of them, volleyball and each other and intrinsically intertwined elements and that they intend on revolving around each other as partner/rivals for the rest of their lives.

If we're looking only at the anime, that list i linked above is entirely taken from season. Like, the the sheer weight of kageyama "i can spike, toss, etc by myself" tobio saying the words "as long as you're with me, you're invincible" like 1-2 episodes later?? This bullshit where kageyama extracts a promise from hinata to follow him to the top of the world still happens in the anime too. That bit in the first Seijoh match where Kageyama says that Oikawa's going to set to Iwaizumi, not because it's the most logical move but because he trusts him so innately that it's the most natural move to make and then going on to make the exact same set to Hinata in the same match?? The extra animated linger on Kageyama and Hinata's fingers touching as they stop the Miya's quick? Oikawa and Atsumu both saying that Kageyama's "wrapped around Hinata's finger"?

Like come on now, does this look like two people who are going to drift apart? Be for real. They're too obsessed with each other to do that.

#asks #haikyu #brotp: someone even better #i looked through my blog for this and realized that i talk about hq a lot #i didn't even get to the post i was looking for because i got too annoyed by how long it was taking #kagehina #haikyuu!! #anyways morons that think these two idiots are going to drift apart are a whole different species that i don't understand #like even if you're too dumb to figure out hq's themes like #when have they ever acted anything less than totally obsessed with each other #vol 1 /season 1 literally hits you over the head like its soo painfully obvious that they're fated soulmates or whatever #even without like kageyama taking literal offense to people not being enchanted by hinata or how his best move favorite move the one time h #s not flawless his most readable move is #that in a pinch he sets to hinata #and its a set that transcends faith #or trust #anyway i love getting asks i def love getting hq asks #thank you anon! #oh extra little addition: during their promise when kageyama asks will you stand on the same stage as me in the future #because he wants hinata at his side!! #for the longrun!! #they make me want to chew concrete

I’ve gotten a few anons since I started doing my rereads (which is weird because I’ve done them before, it was just on my other account that many if not most of the same people interact with) but to be clear: I am anti no one of the acotar series. I genuinely like all of them though some more than others but like…guys, pls. they’re not real people ily but you don’t have to defend their honor in my inbox. I see you and I love your love for these morons but I don’t want to hear how much you hate so-and-so because you love so-and-so. You do you and I love that for you but I beg, leave me out of it 😅

#gp #gigi reads acosf #yes Azriel is on thin ice and yes some of Mor’s actions aren’t my favorite thing in the world but ultimately #I’m team everyone except Beron he can suck it #and no I don’t dislike Mor because I love Eris. #I love Eris and understand he’s part of her trauma even though he personally didn’t hurt her based on everything we’ve seen in the text #like I’ve made it clear before I don’t do the anti stuff #some of you may have discovered me recently (hello ily!!!) but yo girl has been sobbing for a very long while over these characters #anyone remember my og url ladyvanserra? ugh loved that one #idk if anyone cares but I wanted to say it and delete the anons because I don’t like engaging in discourse that has a negative tone to it #I did my time 😭

OK listen. I was not into naruto as a kid but I watched the ninjabridge series so many times I could recite the lines verbatim. So SO many quotes from that series just repeat in my head for no reason. Especially Iruka’s lines.

#i look at him and i hear HOKAGE HOKAGE MOMAGE BANNANA FANNA BOBAGE FEE FI FOFAGE HOKAGE #i think that's why it took me so long to actually like him bc all i could see was insane abridged iruka lmao #and now he is one of my all time favorites and i love him #watching it back i thought it was gonna be way more cringe. and it is in places but some of the stuff still genuinely makes me laugh #maybe thats just the nostalgia idk #i watched so many abridged series on repeat in middle school and high school #also i have spent so much time thinking abt david bowie kakashi bc i did not understand the joke for so long #and i think its just that he looks kinda like David bowie and hes ninja famous idk y it took me so long to get that #but literally the songs will play in my head while im out sampling #anon i saw this and it literally made my heart race. bc i am normal and well adjusted #naruto #uzumaki naruto #uchiha sasuke #hatake kakashi #umino iruka

I know you love minecraft but what are other games you like? Comfort games are the best 💜 (also i love your art)

thank you!! and honestly i'll play like. literally anything. i'm just a games enjoyer flat out. i'm a particularly big fan of open world / survival / colony sims, and ANYTHING that has cool lore in it that i can make an oc out of. (looking @ splatoon) off the top of my head some Big Faves are like um. rimworld, cult of the lamb, acnh, ARK, skyrim. umm. currently a lil obsessed with baldur's gate 3 and path of titans. which. speaking of, since you've asked me about video games, i'm going to use this ask an excuse to show off the nice screencap i edited a lil for my beloved yutyrannus, Journey

ain't she pretty ://]C

#i havent drawn em in awhile but. i fucking LOVE dinosaurs if there's a dinosaur in your video game i'll probably play it #i've got like almost 600 hours on ark (which i can't recommend to anyone in good conscious but it is my favorite bad game of all time) #there's so so so many more i'm not listing because i'd make the post too long but i CAN mention starbound nms and #OH GOD UNDERTALE. undertale MASSIVE comfort game i love her. #ask #anon #EDIT: I CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT MENTION RDR2. I LOVE COWBOYS THATS COMFORT TOO

thinking about how in chap 9 (the long winter) the engineer said "I'd let your spirit burn me alive" to link and well. you know. he did 🧍‍♂️

when the emotional dependency you have for the guy who you consider to be your best friend in the middle of a terrible war starts to hit and you say lines that will become extremely damning once you know the truth 😨

Do you have any favorites off the new album yet?

The Alchemy & Peter spoke to my soul at first listen. Taylor released them to be mine, so I’m taking custody accordingly. What about you, anon? Any favorite yet?

#I feel the same for these two songs as I felt for Long Live #I had the time of my life fighting dragon with her #the sign on my heart says it’s still reserved for her #I’ve been a swiftie since 2006. #I grew up with her songs and I finally went to see her at Eras Tour #the flight and the expensive hotel was so worth it #because that night she surprised me with Tim McGraw #the very first song of her I fell in love with #I didn’t have to turn the radio on for her to take me back to that place #that moment in time I knew #music and magic are the same thing to me #also as someone who spent so long in the closet and made peace with being socially-unacceptable sometimes #I feel like Peter in my bone #and the alchemy reassures me I’m not alone #interesting that it’s track 15 & 28 #my favorite number is 15. #Louis’s favorite number is 28. #28-15=13 #Taylor’s favorite number is 13 #math works in a mysterious way #anon

Happy Wednesday! YAY!! I’m so excited for you! I hope you have the most amazing time! Also, as someone who spent roughly 14 years with a marine biology special interest, I absolutely did not notice that you didn’t include the names of fish so you are so good haha. I’ve really been enjoying the aquarium scenes in baby Jean! I spent years watching documentaries about aquariums/aquarium construction/marine biology and begging for trips the the aquarium any time we were close to one. The little aquatic theme to baby Jean so far has been so fun for me!

When you have some time, could I please get some baby Jean? I hope you and your dogs are staying warm!! 🤍🤍🤍

prev | Baby Jean | WW 18.1.2024

Jean fought the urge to cry as he looked around himself for any hint of his family. Instead, he was surrounded by strangers. He leaned back against the glass of the exhibit and sat down, cradling his chin in his hands.

[danidoesathing]

Can you list some of your favorite horror movies facts you know? :0

oh anon you have opened up pandoras box

-In Midsommar, the images of Dani's dead family is overlaid multiple times throughout the film despite her never seeing their bodies like the audience did

-X and Pearl were filmed at the same time!

-Miles Fischer, who plays Peter in Film Destination 5, is also a musician and made a music video with the cast of FD5 which was a parody of said movie and sitcoms like Save By the Bell. It's called New Romance and can be watched here

-Speaking of Final Destination, Mary Elizabeth Winstead (the star of three) actually produced a that single tear in the final scene all naturally. She had to do it twice because the first take was ruined.

-The Roller Coaster scene in 3 was also the last filmed!

-Tony Todd appears in every Final Destination movie except for 4 (In three he voiced the ominous devil statue in front of the Coaster). His character is named William Bludsworth (yes really).

-Scream had originally Dewy dying at the end, but the director made a decision (I mean literally while filming that scene last second) to change his fate

-You can tell who is Ghostface at any point in time by the way they hold the knife. Stu uses two hands with the knife, while Billy only holds it with his right hand. Billy also tends to strangle people for whatever reason.

-Wes Craven did not know about line about all the Nightmare on Elm Street's sequels sucking so he had no part in that.

-None of the Cloverfield movies were written to be in a connected universe, and two of the three were actually made under different titles that had both those and their scripts altered to fit the "connected universe" thing. So if you ever felt like those movies felt weirdly disconnected, congrats! you're right

-John Goodman actually makes an appearance in The Cloverfield Paradox in a brief news interview. Once again, he plays a character whose theories are 100% correct but sounds insane, but they are confirmed not to be the same character

-The first Cloverfield Movie actually had an ARG. Really. like a whole ass ARG for promotion. wild

-In the Hellbound Heart book, Pinhead and the rest of the Cenobites are written as gender neutral leaning towards feminine. Diversity win! the torture bondage demons are nonbinary!

-Hereditary was originally planned to take place during winter, but Ari Aster changed his mind once arriving on set

-The set of Hereditary was constructed in a way that had the walls and ceiling able to be moved/removed which allows for the more creative camera angles seen in the film.

-Tony Todd has played Candyman/Daniel Robitaille in every Candyman movie. Yes even in the sequels

-Prey is the first full lengthen film to have a full Comanche dub (which was all recorded by the originally actors!)

-The translator in Prey, Raphael, appears in the Predator comics (specifically, Predator: 1718) and is referenced in Predator 2

-Cabin in the Woods was obviously heavily inspired by Evil Dead. But the infamous betting board actually names Deadites as a monster. This implies that Ash's unfortunate adventures in the cabin was a successful ritual and the only reason he was allowed to live was because he played the role of the Virgin (this is obviously not canon, but its a neat idea)

-It also makes reference to the "Angry Molesting Tree" from Evil Dead. "Snowman" may be a reference to Jack Frost (killer snowman movie) and the Reanimated may be a reference to The Reaminator

-The dog in The Thing, Jed, was not trained to a lot of the odd behavior the Thing actually shows. For example, the brief moment where he looks into the camera and then looks away, which creates a very uneasy feeling of being seen in the audience. There are also moments where he dead still. He was not trained to do either of these things. He was just a very talented actor and I love him.

-The first victim of The Thing's shadow is not done by any of the actors of the movie. Its actually the director's, as it creates more ambiguity as to his identity

-Joe Hill is Stephen King's son. He is also a writer, and wrote the original source material for things like The Black Phone, Horns, Locke and Key, and NOS4A2. They both wrote In the Tall Grass

and now for facts about one of my favorite horror movies

-Nope originally ended with the deaths of both OJ and Angel. Even after OJ's fate was changed, they only changed Angel's fate after Brandon Perea (his actor) convinced Jorden Peele to change his fact. Angel's plot armor ascends even reality fr

-The track that plays during OJ's final scene is called "A Hero Falls" likely because it was written for his death. The song also has parallels to a track that played in the beginning of the movie during OJ and Em's car ride to the ranch

-OJ's actor, Daniel Kaluuya, mentioned having suffered an injury years ago due to a horse riding accident and developed a fear of horse riding from that. He had to work through that for the role.

-Ricky is referred to as "Jupe" through almost the entirety of the film, even in the subtitles. This has no meaning or symbolism for his character whatsoever im sure.

-Jean Jacket and it's alternate form was inspired by sea creatures like Jellyfish and Octopus, but it was also inspired by the angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Specifically Sahaquiel, the tenth angel

-Em performs the Akira slide during the climax of the movie

-There's a few alternate dialogue for scenes that can be seen in the deleted scenes. it doesn't make that much a difference in terms of themes/story/characterization/etc but we did learn that OJ had a thing for Oprah when he was younger which explains some of Em's jabs at him

-There's a deleted scene that has an alternate introduced to Em that revealed the reason she was late was because she hitting on a group of girls. cant say im surprised tbh but I find it funny the longest deleted scene is just another confirmation that Emerald gets the most pussy in the state of California

-Antlers wears a skirt for the entirety of the film

-While OJ was going after Ghost and sees the power going out during Ricky's practice for the Star Lasso Expereince, you can see the power line's lights going off which shows JJ's path back to the farm

-Brandon Perea was the one that insisted on expanding Angel's character during development past Peele's original baseline idea

-Michael Abels scored this film as well as Get Out and Us

what do you think about the fact that chat noir and atsushi are both cat boys with belts for tails

tail belt = instant selling point. it's endearing. it's all about the swishy flair. it's character design at its finest without overdoing the cat boy-ness. it's there to be yanked by characters voiced by cristina vee. it's black. contextually it's a found family gift given as a sign of belonging, of having a meaningful role to fulfil. it moves on its own and no one knows why

#anon how do you think i feel now that you've served me my most favorite dish. on my birthday no less #listen it's my fav bit of trivia ever. when i started bsd i was taken aback by the amount of coincidences linking chat and plagg to atsushi #(and atsushi to me. in more ways than one) #so yeah what i mean is. they both radiate such comfort energy that any further coincidence other than that is a treat #did i mention they're very dear to me #long-time fav vs fav media mc - cat boy battle. a puzzler! they both win by a landslide #asks #bsd #ml #why do i always ramble in tags i wonder #but ngl at this point i relate so much to atsushi that i read hbd wishes for him and feel like they're for me
