#to say that style dialogue

[balteus]

yea actually i think the author of raybearer is bent on messing with me specifically

#redemptors are sent every year or every hundred years which is it. how is yui alive if this was 100 years ago. organ death and poisoning #are the same cause of death. on the other hand death from falling isn't specified despite it being distinct from the others and the prince #claiming he is immune to it #CONSTANT TIME SKIPS. WHY #worst offender of show don't tell I've seen in a while. please let us see sanjeet nighmares instead of simply telling us about him #tell me more about maya she's the best character and only had 2 lines so far which is a crims #the entire bit of mc erasing her own memories was so not thought out. you immediately know what's going to happen there's 0 stakes here #how come everyone acts normal after she does this despite them calling medics just seconds earlier? how come she doesn't get her memories #back when she touches sanjeet? #raybearer has SUCH good worldbuilding concepts it's a shame they're so crudely explored #there's not a single character which talks normally. ifueko i promise you you can do foreshadowing without shoving it in oops didn't mean #to say that style dialogue #this book would be so much better if it was 2 or 3 books instead. tarisai growing up and her travel to the capital. exploring places she #was walled off from in her isolation. meeting kirah before and bonding with her. exploration of lodestones and magic systems #more kathleen and the redemptor. the author actually has no excuse to simply not have done this #because we KNOW tarisah can erase her own memories and would pass the test #AND THEN the second book about the trials living with dayo meeting sanjeet and fleshing out other anointed. perhaps finishing in her #regaining her memories and choosing to save dayo despite everything or at some point after the even im currently reading abt #which is abi demons escaping the temple #anyway! sorry for the long tags but i was so hyped about this book when i heard abt the main character being able to steal memories and #a plot point that happens later on

you dream of devouring your friends whole

#the 'it' and 'that' sif is referring to is the act 3 loop hangout but i enjoy being vague in dialogue it feels natural. tee hee. #serious time means everyone gets noses btw. sorry about the slow metamorphasis back into my usual style from my mimicry #in stars and time #isat #isat spoilers #isat loop #isat act 5 spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat siffrin #in stars and time fanart #isat fanart #sifloop #YES IM TAGGING THE SHIP. THUMBS UP. READ INTO THAT HOW YOU WILL BECAUSE IT WAS ON MY MIND WHEN DRAWING IT AT THE LEAST #aaaaaanyway. my personal reading of loop is. how do you say... flowey-esque. to invoke a fellow antagonistic timelooper. since imo #they do seem even fuuurther gone than sasasap sif was when we saw them. and BOY DOES LATEGAME ISAT SIF HAVE SOME INTRUSTIVE THOUGHTS #so uh. who's to say what happened in there. since we know start again isnt quite congruent as loop never beat the king. #i wouldn't blame them for going maybe a little mad. just a lil #it is important to me that loop is. perhaps a bit haunted.

I never bought anything from him

#i think his dialogue even says it before you get a chance to buy anything from him #my art #pokemon #pkmn art #pokemon redraw #meme redraw #pokemon legends #pokemon legends arceus #volo #akari #akari pokemon #dewott #not my player character bc i have style and chose the orb #...we dont have to tag spoilers anymore right. its been months

[fudgelling-away]

The comic says it all, but you can check the tags for more context.

#sans x reader #sans x y/n #sansnomaly #ut!sans #sans undertale #look at me trying a different style #what no absolutely not because it is faster nooo why would you say that #I left the comic vague because it can also work as a dialogue after genocide #but it is a brief convo we had several days ago #wildly different context #sans you so mean #despite his efforts to shame me I actually calmed down and went ahead with posting that last pic #welp you failed again bby #so sad #my art

Overheard someone saying T*re Liy* is the best author in my country and subsequently took psychic damage

#okay so im def not judging anyone who likes his writing #i liked his older writing! #i like his current writing worse bcs i think the guy is starting to burn out BUT that is strictly my personal opinion #to say that he is the best in this area tho??? deadass????? NO #his writing style is stiff and more tell than show. actually. it's mostly tell than show #his dialogue is .... well ... this one is a matter of taste but god his characters cannot just say things normally cant they #his romances dont feel like romance too lets be real for a sec here #like okay if you will be adamant about it alright fine. but maybe try other authors like dee lestari or ziggy z first #sure theyre both flawed too but at least i dont feel like im being seen as third grader when i read their things #luca rambles #random thoughts #vent post

sometimes i wonder if i'm making blade's dialogue too unnatural and then i look at his voice lines and go,

ah. no. this fits.

#i actually love his style of speech #it's cryptic yet poetic? #replicating it though........ i keep feeling like a great value brand shakespeare #HWR reader's dialogue has a similar 'stiffness' to it but she's just weird so i can work with that #i feel like i'd be doing blade a disservice if what he says doesn't have a haunting quality to it #lock.txt

finally read flatland for myself. read it in its entirety today during my free time on my 12 hour shift. really good book but maybe would have stuck more in my mind if i hadnt seen the janky 2007 animated adaptation several times before reading it. but then again my coworker saw me reading it and said they had tried to read it but it was too confusing trying to visualize everything, so i at least had a leg up there since all i could think of was the characters from the 2007 adaptation. anyway i think i’m going to rewatch it for the Nth time tonight <3

#the animation is SO janky and lowkey bad but i love it so much #and plot wise its like. a straight 1:1 adaptation i think?! from what i recall of the movie #like literally i read this whole book and there was not a single moment where i was surprised or like ‘oh that wasnt in the movie’ #llike nothing was new to me. except for the funny 1880s dialogue style i guess #like i guess what im saying is that whenever i think of Flatland im just gonna continue thinking of the movie rather than the book #even now after reading the book #bc the movie is just more notable in my mind still #brot posts

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall #y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these #rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything #BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes #'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and #acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something #managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show #''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was #set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol #OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting #around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes'' #''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often' #''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc. #ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye #BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by #putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones #when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or #magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!! #ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like #'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i #the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!! #it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action #fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on.. #ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally #defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just #opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of #points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its #bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol #Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully #agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it

Started reading Lymond Chronicles after @deadendtracks' comment that SK must've read them too / based Tommy on Lymond....

still thinking about a WOT dating sim game. your character would be the sixth emond's fielder (and also ta'veren, to explain why everyone wants to date you) and you leave the village with the others, but after that point, you choose which group to follow every time there's a Party Split. this means that you get to experience WOT but only your favorite plotlines and you can just skip all the others!

dateable characters: rand, mat, perrin, egwene, nynaeve, elayne, moiraine, lan, aviendha, faile, various other heroes

characters you can have a One-Time Hookup with but they will not date you: lanfear, graendal, demandred, ishamael, asmodean, various other villains, various minor characters who appear only briefly in the story

gawyn and tuon get their own category because if you build up enough relationship points with them, they will be your allies (and love interests should you so choose), but if you don't, then they'll betray you at a key moment in the story.

help gawyn work through all his inner turmoil (20 diamonds, ++relationship)

tell him you believe he can work it out on his own (free, +relationship)

tell him he's a little bitch (free, -relationship)

force tuon to channel and accept that she's capable of it (20 diamonds, ++relationship)

tell her she can channel, but do nothing about it (free, +relationship)

punch her in the face (free, -relationship)

you can date as many characters simultaneously as you want and they will never get jealous of each other. you can date multiple trakand siblings and they will not care. you can have rand as your boyfriend and also have a quick hookup with demandred and rand will not care (although demandred will probably talk about him the whole time). if a character isn't dated by you, you will have the option to set them up with their canon love interest provided that that character isn't dated either. alternately, if both of them are dated by you, then you have the option to turn your V relationship into a throuple. you can pick one love interest right off the bat and ignore everyone else for the whole game, or you can create a harem with every single character in the series.

whoever owns the rights needed to make a WOT videogame, please hire me

#oh and every time you travel to a new location you're offered a diamond outfit in the local style #and elayne is usually the one to offer it (the dialogue says she already paid for it and yet you still have to pay diamonds) #wot #wot book spoilers

people need to be more normal about ian flynn it feels like the only opinions people have about him on here are either "i fucking hate ian flynn hes actively destroying the sonic franchise and i hope he drops dead tomorrow" or "i love ian flynn and im going to worship the ground he walks on and act like hes the only person responsible for recent sonic media being good" with no in between. wheres the rest of the "i think ian flynn is a good writer and hes done good things for the franchise in recent years but i dont agree with every single thing hes ever tried to do with the characters and he is just some guy to me" gang

#like its totally fine to hate ian flynns writing style or whatever but i dont get why some people demonize him so much #like what did that man ever do to you . just dont read the comics ?? #also. am i the only one who thinks its kinda annoying that people keep acting like ian flynn is the creator of sonic frontiers or something #he wrote the english dialogue for a story idea someone else came up with. hes not the director or creator of the game #he didnt write the story on his own #and im NOT trying to downplay his contributions to the game at all or say he doesnt deserve any praise #i just dont think its fair to credit everything to him when there was a whole team of people behind this

do u know where this is from it haunts my dreams

[ID: an up-close panel of Batman. He's visibly confused and has a question mark speech bubble before asking, “I'm pregnant?” END ID]

i do!! however im sorry to say your nightmares have all been for naught, since its a very popular edited panel :( the original is from batman annual #11:

(id in alt!)

i hope this doesn't discourage you from trying to get that man pregnant though, hes even in position for it in the last panel <33

#its so bad i recognized george freeman's art instantly but yuh <3 theres also a few reprint of this story if youre into that kinda thing #but i hope this provides sweet dreams lol i know this is a VERY popular edit #a lot of times people say its golden or silver aged dialogue but if youre a little familiar with that era #then its kinda easy to tell this is NOT the art or his design from those eras. which marrows it down to 70s-early 90s #(since post nightfall he had a darker suit). after that its easy to narrow it down even without knowing the artists style #(even if it would be kinda tedious lol) #all that to say i dont have a social life and am always happy to help find your mystery panels <33 #(also! this is a good story! no pregnant batman unfortunately but theres kinda? cucking and bruces appearance is sweet! i hope you enjoy :) #c: batman annual | 11 #crypt's panels #batman #clayface iii #preston payne

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 7: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

The winning option of yesterday's poll was that the adventurer should go on a 5 day journey to find the Innkeeper's weird brother who studies animals, and show him the Suspicious Egg….

~

The next morning he wakes early, buzzing with renewed purpose, and also minor back pain from sleeping on old potato sacks.. After a meager breakfast of more free leftover scraps, the Innkeeper stops him before he leaves, giving him a few extra supplies for the long journey, as she can tell he doesn't have much. He packs up and sets out onto the road once again, crumpled sketchy map in hand...

He has a fairly uneventful journey for the first day - waving at the occasional other travelers as they pass, cleaning his boots in a nearby pond, stopping to eat some dumplings whilst watching the sunset, and finally setting up a small tent a short ways off the main path, resting with his cat by a dim campfire until they both fall asleep......

The second day, however, does not start as smoothly.. Only a few hours further down the road, he's met with a large barricade, guarded by a group of what seems like elven soldiers from one of the larger surrounding cities of the area. Practicing his confidence, he puts on his best "brave face" (which to others, appears more as some sort of pained wince, like he might have something in his eye), shakily striding right up to the authority figures he is definitely not afraid of.

"Halt, traveler! You cannot pass."

He sways slightly, struggling to keep his wobbly legs under control, "OH, y-yEAH, ssorry, I was-, hh, I was just walking, ~o-out for a stroooll~, haha, so I .. uh.. o-okay. That's.. okay. But, uh.. could, can.. euh.. C-can I ask why? like... why the, uh... blocking off.. of ... the um.. the-"

"Unfortunately, we are not at liberty to disclose any information on the nature of this current road closure. Our sole duty is to maintain security of the barrier."

"hhHeh, ye.. eAh, for sure, I-I get that.. Duty is.. really so... important in ... today's world.. gotta, um.. do the duties.. or, uh.. .. yeah, but.. so, uhhh... wh-Do you know.. maybe, uh... H-how long you'll, like... be here? guarding... and such...??"

"We'll be here as long as we need to be here."

"...O-okay.. but, like.. uh... any,,.... time estimate? hahahehhh?? like, uh.. a day, or... two, or um...??"

"This matter does not concern you, traveler. Move along."

"Aoh, yeahgh, I.. totally.. totally.. it, uh.. Well.. but it kind of does though,, right? B-because I do, in fact, actually have to go down that road at some p-point sssoo, um,... uh.. I-"

"I said move along."

The guard abruptly takes a step forward, causing The Adventurer to yelp as if he'd been hit, tripping over his own feet and scrambling off on hands and knees, lunging into bushes near the rocky roadside.. After exchanging a confused glance, the guards both shrug, resuming their stoic positions at the barrier.

The Adventurer watches from the uncomfortable safety of some berry brambles, surveying the area at a distance and desperately trying to work out how he can still get where he's trying to go. The map given to him by the Innkeeper is pretty straightforward, not showing alternate paths. Based on his primary map, he could maybe think of a few detours, but he's anxiously unfamiliar with the area... How should he proceed?

----

Additional Details - (I decided whenever he gets new items or goals or something, I'll list them at the end just to keep track)

items + to inventory (from the Innkeeper): 2 lunchboxes of vegetable dumplings, 2 canteens of water, a box of tea, one rope, 1 pouch of dried meat, 4 candles, a hand-drawn map

main goal: get to the abandoned castle ruins to see the rare animal specialist about the egg

#paventure posting #polls #choose your own adventure #SORRY this took so long. I still want to do this daily or every other day lol. I just had a lot going on the past few days #the story tidbit of this one is slightly longer again because you need spaces to break up dialogue and etc. but much shorter #than the other one still and pretty concise. I tried to leave out a lot of detail and just give the bare minimum again lol #Hopefully his speaking style isn't too grating also ghbjhb.. I'm more familiar with writing dialogue for like.. people to say out loud so #to me I'm always trying to hear it in my head and write eveything exactly how it would be spoken. and to me it sounds fine #if you act it in the exact voice I'm envisioning and have a distinct speaking style where you pause or drag #out words in a specific way - like with particualr cadence and comedic timing - it sounds fine #I'm just not sure if that translates to text as well lol #But he doesn't actually talk often. the past two times have been exceptions since he keeps running into people #And he'll have to talk if he ever actally makes it to the Innkeeper's brother. But most obstacles on the road #are probably prettyy easily dialogue free #ANYWAY... #Love his dramatics.. Imagine if you just take one step towards someone and they scream and throw themselves #onto the ground and run away gjhhjbj #the cat just leisurely trotting over to catch up with him because they're not actually scared #anyway.. ! day 7.. that's like a whole week! except it's been over a week since sometimes it takes me like 2 days lol

‘nooo they can’t make an animated zelda movie! if they make a zelda movie it needs to be live action!’ biting you biting you biting you biting you biting you biting you BITING YOU BIT

#urusai majou #it's the videogame equivalent of 'lord of the rings would be better if it was more like game of thrones' #for the record though zelda is something I don't think could ever be adapted into a movie regardless of medium #and I'm saying that as someone who was genuinely charmed by the mario movie #I think the difference is that the mario games have a very consistent identity so like. there's a clear list of criteria there #just make it cute and colourful and not ashamed of what it is and you're golden #zelda on the other hand is a lot more personal. it's a story you're specifically supposed to insert yourself into #everyone has a different idea of who link is #it's telling that the internet can't even agree on whether or not link should have verbal dialogue. much less how he'd sound if he did #adapting it into a movie would naturally mean losing that in favour of one fixed canon version of link #which eiji aonuma has specifically said several times he doesn't want #so like. yeah somehow I'm not altogether sure there is anything to the rumours tbh #and as far as live action nintendo adaptations in general go. have you Looked at the art styles for any of these games #literally the only nintendo ips that wouldn't look straight up weird in live action are metroid and Maybe fire emblem #but again. only if it was shadow dragon or the tellius games #anything else and you'd run into the same issue of steamrolling players' choices with a fixed canon #uhg idk. ultimately it all boils down to the mentality currently floating around that live action movies are the zenith of art #and they're just. not #sometimes the ideal medium for a story is the one it was originally written in #and zelda is definitely one of those things tbh
