#not gonna estimate for how long

[tatck]

i am so bad at estimating how many pages my comics will take

#I said the mini inbetween would be 4 pages ish #it is like 8 (might change) #i thought issue 1 was gonna be 40 pages too #it was 94 #i don't even wanna guess how long issue 2 will be #actually i am just bad at estimation in general #don't let me cook without scales

i am ILL i have not SLEPT much i had to resend my slides at ELEVEN THIRTY because i forgot to take a silly placeholder heading out i have NOT PRACTICED i have to present in 2 hours. 👍

#would it be weird to take my copy of chi sei and use it as a prop. because i need to explain the pocket book format #neon has thoughts #i think it's gonna be fine i just have no fuckin clue how long this is gonna be apart from a vague estimate based on slide count. i think a #minute per slide is somewhat reasonable #anyway i'm gonna put ti chiami diabolik on repeat and see what happens

TL;DR Breath of the Wild's memories fucking suck at telling its story because the game is deeply bad at understanding what information to prioritize and, by extension, how to effectively utilize its limited time to tell its story. This leads to outright useless scenes that do nothing but waste time, and many others that are just underwhelming and don't do enough with their time. To my personal estimation, perhaps about half the memories are worth including in the game as-is; the others at least needed a rewrite. With about a quarter to half of the story basically wasted, Breath of the Wild's story never manages to live up to its potential, staying infuriatingly mediocre despite an interesting base.

#my posts #botw #loz #once again practicing summarizing #the reason I don't include these TL;DRs on the actual post is bc I can't use the enter key in tumblr posts anymore for some reason #and this means that retroactively putting TL;DRs up top is difficult to impossible #especially since text does not react well to being selected and deleted/copy-pasted either #so since I'm bad at estimating just how long my posts are gonna be this means I'd have to put it at the end #which. just seems inconsiderate. considering just how long my posts are #this is also why I rarely include readmores anymore btw. i'd have to use the enter key to do it retroactively. which. not happening. so. #i don't feel as bad about that though with the automatic post shortening feature cutting off most of my posts where i would've anyway

I know I said I was done sharing writing updates but I lied teehee i need to share my accomplishments somewhere. I just finished chapter five! The document is a little over 12000 words long now :)

#trying to estimate how long this is going to end up based on this and i am struggling. majorly. gonna hesitantly guess somewhere between #40-60k which. 60k was my original guess for this project so who knows! but i don’t think it will get Too long. it will be a reasonable #amount of long. probably

currently having mikenacho withdrawals

#i've been working on some other art projects lately so i haven't been drawing them much :( #and im actually working on my main fixit fic but trying to organize my notes is a huge pain in the ass #i wanna just work on some other smaller fics of them but i know if i don't make myself work on this one its never gonna get finished lmfao #estimated it to be 10.000 k - 20.000 k words #but after looking at what i have now it might actually be closer to 30.000 #i have never finished a writing project longer than like several thousand words so i have no idea how long this will take ay

for bnha i don't know how far the finale is but this war arc can't be it? there's still too much need to happen. most importantly magic man's promised screentime is due. i can't wrap my head around how will Sako reappear in the story.

#like..how would he come back are they gonna push my man on the battle field laying in his hospital bed? pls don't #but a promise is a promise Horikoshi #(love you) #but by thalos if you forget about him.... :D #i kinda feel that he is going to let me down like he will give Sako two panels and then sayounara you fucking weebs #aah pls #do something that ties into his backstory #or idk im desperate who am i kidding i will be happy with anything i can get 💀💀 #he couldn't finish the manga by the time he estimated he will so who knows how long this will go on #compress my beloved he may be absent from the manga panels but he never left my heart 😤

i have to get fingerprinted in the morning so. let me go to bed

#it’s for the bar exam #but I told my mom I could go to the appointment on my own and she was like and send u to a police station BY URSELF????? #so my stepdad is going w #he said he’d buy me lunch but I think he’s Drastically over estimating how long this appointment is gonna take JSNDKSNXKSND #like dude we will be there waiting on them to get set up longer than it’s gonna take for me to press my palm against a digital scanner

bad news y’all i’m officially addicted to leaving comments on ao3. and it is becoming a Problem for my sleep schedule

#like. i got in the habit back in january and now it’s a fun little appreciation thing and sometimes i get responses which is fun! #but also. now i see a fic and go ‘ooo 27k decent room for development but won’t take me toooo long’ #and i’m either not sure i’m gonna stick it out or excited and caught up in it so i don’t comment on the first couple chapters #but around chapter three im like okay time to go back and praise the first couple chapters #and then before i know it im on chapter 6 halfway to the comment character limit and i’ve been writing this comment on ONE CHAPTER #for an HOUR #it’s fun and delightful but. holy cow it’s so late it’s early #my word-count based estimation of how long something will take to read is bent SO out of wack #anyway #fanfic #ao3

[paperhats-and-evil-schemes]

Me: Oh, so how long's the White Hat fic gonna be?

You: Probably around 80k-100k

Me: Oh oka- Wait... *looks at your AO3*

*sees that all your current works add up to about 84k*

Me: ... So what you're saying is... the WH fic is going to be as long, if not longer, than all of the other Villainous fics you've ever done combined???

Ok well when you put it like that, it sounds ridiculous 😂

But yes.

#THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS ONE HAD TO BE SPLIT INTO CHAPTERS OK #villainous #white hat #OP #Look I never knew how long it was gonna be when first writing it out I have never been good with fic length estimates #it just kinda HAPPENED #Man I really hope depression will refrain from kicking me in the balls long enough for me to get at least 1 chapter of this thing #done for you guys because d a m n #What an absolute waste this would be if not #(And before anybody says anything - Yes I know I don't owe it to anybody to finish or whatever but I would still like to try lol) #If only for the sake that AGAIN IT WOULD BE SUCH A MASSIVE WASTE OF ALL THIS WRITING IF I DON'T LMAO

[supercantaloupe]

also. Apollo went to the oncologist today. not good :(

#idk what the estimate is yet for how long he has but he's got an aggressive form of lymphoma and other cats don't respond well to the chemo #so. my parents aren't gonna bother. he's going on a prescription to slow its progression #but at this point it's just a matter of keeping him comfy as long as we can. #i hope he still has a year or two left but that's probably a bit hopeful. idk #i wanna talk about me #update: dad says it's probably a few months. a year at best. :( #maybe i'll visit home more often than i was planning this summer. i want more time with my boy while he's still here... #even if he does throw up on my puzzles.

[appreciatingtokrev]

guys i finished the first draft of the first chapter of my naokisa fic. i’m a month late but whoo here it is!!

like 30 more chapters to go :)

#the 30 chapters is a rough estimate based on nothing but. a guess #we will see how long this is gonna be #but i’m expecting it to be. LONG bc it’s p much a tokrev rewrite with naokisa slowburn focus plus even more #so uhhh yeahh 👍 #future me will hate me when having to edit this chapter i wrote it mostly half asleep and god you can tell it’s so bad. but oh well #atm i’m just happy that it’s at 3.2k words and finished for now #naokisa rewrite #calling it that rn bc i call it that in my head n it has no title yet so. that’s the tag for it for now #☆—`elys rambles

last night at midnight after a long and arduous day of distracting myself from totk i made the fatal error of going "fuck it, its TECHNICALLY release day now, ill start it up and just do the intro or smth before bed because if i have to think abt it any harder i wont be able to sleep"

and then evidently wasnt able to sleep Anyway. im gonna have a Great time fixing up my sleep schedule after this one/s

but ignoring all that :) if you're trying to avoid seeing anything about the game please blacklist #totk spoilers (i wont be posting any Big spoilers for a while anyway bc ive Barely started myself but i have funny video to throw up already and i dont know what kind of thing really constitutues a spoiler tag but better on the safe side i GUESS?)

#ALSO IM SORRY I THINK MY INBOX NOTIFS ARE BUSTED RN. I ONLY SAW A FEW THINGS IN THERE FROM YESTERDAY JUST NOW #in regards to one of them: i Did try and open the game yesterday! i thought it mightve been like predownloads where they “unlock” at a #certain time but no this thing was fully ready to launch i couldve played it skdgjhVSD #really weird as well bc the mail is usually late where i live. like if you have smth with an estimated delivery date you always gotta add #1 or 2 days onto that usually so the opposite happening was fun #im normal though im so very very normal < lying #either im gonna finish it in 3 days or put off the final boss for another six weeks while i finish Experiencing the game #though lbr considering how long the first game lasted rattling round my brain i think six weeks is a lowball estimate. potentially. #im Experiencing though im beaming this shit directly into my braincase. as i type this

[arcaneyouth]

everyone wish me luck on my drivers test so if something goes wrong i can blame it on you guys for not giving me enough luck

#negative #mainly for tags content cause every moment im not distracted by video games is another moment i think i am having a panic attack #im so fucking <3 nervous <3 #like. everything depends on this. ive been working for a solid week on figuring out how to move out but all that means nothing if #i cant drive. i dont know when id be able to schefule a test again bro. the website for scheduling the test straight up broke i dont have #an estimate on thay #im too tired to stay anxious for long cause im gonna pass out but GOD #im not even a bad driver im just convinced something will go horribly wrong becayse thats just the kind of week ive been having #i need all da luck in da worlf #wolrd #ok. #how many words have i mispelled. im sleepy. gn #everyone be nice to me or ill cry (ill cry anyways actually so it doesnt matter)

#i called this dude 45 min ago to pick up his dog #im out at 430. i call him at 430 like hey u got a pickup eta bc. im out at 430. #hes like oh uhhhhh oh i didny know itll be 20min #sir you were gonna let your dog just fucking sit here for over an hour #had i not called you you wouldve picked up at 5 fucking 30 #this is not boarding. #i never leave work on time. i have a 30 minute commute. #im so fucking tired of being fucked over by my last appointment of the day. its constant. #edit: its fine bc my favorite nail trim came in and regenerated my mana bar #dude picked up his dog like 'oh yeah u gotta pee i can tell' #UH. YEAH. hes been here twice as long as the estimate i gave you! funny how that works

[zeawesomebirdie]

I'll just take thirty minutes and write out a zero draft for that plagatine fic, i said

It won't be much, just a scene or two for the bingo card, i said

90 minutes later:

Well. At least i was right that doing a Bad Things Happen bingo card would be good for my writing

#i #i havent written this much in a single day in.... #weeks ? #i was genuinely expecting this draft to be like. 750 words tops #the fic itself is gonna be a chonker #i dont even know if i can estimate its length based on this zero #usually i can but like #this fic is one massive one shot #i have no idea how long itll be #but thank the Force ill be able to keep it from becoming a long fic

[erigold13261]

for a second i didn't realise you were up to the part where rose was in the lab nearby the lalonde compound

I don't remember the "lalonde compound" so I either haven't gotten up to THAT point or just forgot the name for it.

I specifically just watched the video of Rose tracking Jasper's body. The video for that with the cat meow music.

#hstalk #eritalks #noart #is this far for starting this series today? #i looked up how long hs is #and one estimate was 5 days #i don't know if that is 5 days total #or 5 days of normal reading with sleep factored in #either way i'm probably gonna keep reading until 3 am #it's only 1 am right now #or at least try to make it to act 4 #or part 2 of act 3? #whatever the next major break is
