i need to have Words with whoever translated the script into hindi for good omens 2 and decided on. “nightingale nahin gungunayenge” for that one line cause that shit wrecked me what do you MEAN the nightingale WON’T sing ????? implying it’s there and it could but it Won’t and they could so easily have said “the nightingale isn’t singing” but they didn’t, and the “won’t” adds a sort of weird air to it where it could possibly be encouraged to sing again (if aziraphale stays), but crowley can tell it’s already a lost cause, and somehow that feels worse than the idea that there aren’t any nightingales at all, and. :(

#this is very stream of consciousness i have been plagued by this for the past 2 days #the minute i realised the hindi dub was available i skipped to the confession scene to gauge whether i liked the voices and the translation #enough to begin a proper rewatch in hindi (and. yeah it’s not Great but i’m curious enough and now halfway through s2e4 so like. slay) #but my god it’d be so easy to say nightingale nahin hai or gaata nahin or ANYTHING but that yes i might be reading too much into it but #that still doesn’t make it any less :( #good omens 2 #ineffable husbands #good omens 2 spoilers #faera's

But fr all the VN games specifically yandere male love interest likely not gonna finish but understandable because it’s a small project and coding is not easy as it looks. What do you think?

eh, I get having a project and losing motivation to finish it. there's so many instances of that, and I got a shit ton of projects I never finished because of the lack of motivation or art/writer's block

there's really no problem with not finishing a game or taking years to do so. it's not an easy task in any way

BUT I do think you should be able to be annoyed at how long a game is taking to come out, you can be impatient, it's fine! I hate waiting a year for another season of Rick and Morty (and the next season's only coming out next year due to grinding too hard or something), and though I do complain about the wait, I can recognize that it's not an easy thing to do — ESPECIALLY when it's an indie show

indie games will take a long time to make, and that is perfectly fine. I'm impatient but am fine waiting years for a good game. I'm pretty sure the main reason why people are verbally impatient with the development of Your Boyfriend, is because the creators have no idea who Yb is and continuously change his character's lore for some reason. not only that but they're just TERRIBLE people

#but idk I haven't really thought too much on the topic #just speaking out my ass #yapping even #I do think though that we should be more patient when it comes to making games and such though #sdv was made by one person and only recently released an update that was worked on for like three years #and everyone's cool with it BECAUSE of its payoff #with YB. the payoff just doesn't feel like it's there #even if the game isn't out yet #everything is super rushed and the writing is bad at times. the main fucking character's design is weak compared to it's “rivals” #YES I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. TK'S DESIGN WILL FOREVER BE MY FAVORITE. #I feel like the plot of the game would work better if it took over the span of a few weeks or a month or two #AND TIME SKIPS ARE FINE! #if day 1 and 2 had a week between them (with a small thingy that said like Peter starting coming by the diner more or whatever) it'd be cool #cause no fucking way was Peter like “I gotta be tame for yn to trust me” and the next fucking day he's so ready to fuck #INCONSISTENT IN-FUCKING-CONSISTENT #I just think it's way too rushed. why are we speed running a dating-stalking sim? #asks #your boyfriend game #your boyfriend peter #indie games #yb fandom #yb peter #yb game #yb #peter dunbar #yb tk #Tk... my majesty 🧎🙏

my writing - dota - fictober day 28

"We all have our reasons." The Tusk sat on the ground, leaning against a tree, while he held a fishing rod in one hand. Behind him, a makeshift tent was spanned and a fireplace had been built, though no fire was burning.

“And what is your reason to be out here alone?” It had been coincidence that the Bristleback had stumbled upon Ymir. He hadn’t been looking for him, not yet anyway, though he had been puzzled when the Tusk hadn’t entered the bar they had met in during the last evenings.

“I like the quiet.” Especially compared to the sound level of a bar, this place was deadly silent. It wasn’t, there were animals, there was the wind and the water. But it was nothing like a room crowded with all kinds of creatures, all of them drunk.

“Isn’t it lonely?” The Bristleback decided to stay for a while, since the Tusk didn’t appear to leave his spot anytime soon. He sat down and stretched his legs out in front of him.

They both stared above the water of the small lake.

“Rigwarl, what do you want?” Ymir asked after a few minutes.

The Bristleback shrugged. “To keep you company.”

“Why?”

It wasn’t his intention to tell the truth, but the words were out of his mouth before he could stop them: “It is awfully boring in the bar without you.”

The Tusk laughed, the sound way too loud in this place. Then he reeled the fishing line in and turned towards the Bristleback. “Really? One evening without a fight and you are already bored?”

Another shrug. “What can I say, I like fighting. And against you at least it is a challenge.”

“Thank you for the compliment. I’ll be back tomorrow, today I will enjoy the quiet of this place.” Ymir hesitated, but then he continued. “You are welcome to stay but I won’t fight with you, so it might be even more boring than the bar.”

Now that he was here, Rigwarl thought he didn’t necessarily need a fight. Maybe it hadn’t been boredom that had made him leave the bar when Ymir hadn’t shown up, at least not only. That was a truth he wouldn’t admit, though. Instead he frowned. “I think I’ll survive one evening without a fight. For once.”

Ymir’s low chuckle rumbled in his chest. Then he gave Rigwarl the fishing rod. “Here, try to catch a fish so we have something to eat. I haven’t been lucky so far.”

Rigwarl had never held a fishing rod before and Ymir was clearly amused by that. Then he showed him what to do. It was the first time since the two had known each other that they were not fighting. The first time they talked instead of throwing insults back and forth. It was still a bit boring, nothing was better than a fight against a worthy opponent, but it wasn’t too bad, either. Especially when he caught a fish and Ymir grinned. The Tusk reached out as if to clap him on the back, then pulled his hand away.

“Bad idea,” he laughed. “I’ll only impale my hand on one of your spikes. I know how that feels.”

Rigwarl laughed as well. Yes, they were familiar with each other in that regard.

MAJOR WIN FOR ME FOR HUMANITY FOR THE GIRLS

YES watch season 2 of bridgerton!! i've watched it two times so far it's SO fucking good. i started season 1 got to like episode 3 and was like sorry babe you're boring you're not for me.

season 2, however... you have to watch it! even with the gifs and how good they are there's nothing like seeing those scenes in the right context and the yearning, love, lust, angst, romance of it all? incredible please watch it and let me know what you think

#imo inquiries #anonymous #when i do my 3rd watch i'm literally going to skip every scene with the featheringtons i just want to see kate and anthony #i only have one more bridgerton post in my queue SO glad i got someone to consider it before regular nonsims posts resume #i was late to join the party i watched it first in one day 2 weeks ago and then again in one day last week #yes i'm watching it again this weekend <3 #bridgerton

School cuts my hours in half

[livvyofthelake]

god i need to watch shadowhunters season three. i’m out here reblogging gifs of scenes i don’t remember watching or possibly straight up did not watch. i never saw the last like two episodes. if i could just get over the need to rewatch the whole show before rewatching season three this would be so easy.

#look it’s not that i didn’t WANT to watch them. it’s just that that season was airing during a really bad time for me #so i told myself i’d catch up later and then by the time it was later i no longer remembered the episodes leading up to the ones i missed #and then i was busy starting college and wanting to kill myself and having the most insanely simple in hindsight girl problems #and then there was a pandemic and by then i no longer cared about the shadowhunter franchise for the next two years #and then last november i watched the entirety of shadowhunters season one in a single day (bad times) #and tried to keep the momentum by watching season 2. and then had to stop four episodes in because i literally will not watch the ones where #jocelyn dies like i won’t even watch the episode i hate the whole thing so much #and then i just never skipped ahead and then i became tumblr mutuals and friends with helena and keren who HAVE seen season three #so now it just seems redundant. why should i need to watch season three when me helena and keren combined have knowledge of the whole series #anyway. yes i still need to watch it i’ll get there. maybe. #beth.txt

Writing tips for long fics that helped me that no one asked for.

1.) Don't actually delete content from your WIP unless it is minor editing - instead cut it and put it in a secondary document. If you're omitting paragraphs of content, dialog, a whole scene you might find a better place for it later and having it readily available can really save time. Sometimes your idea was fantastic, but it just wasn't in the right spot.

2.) Stuck with wording the action? Just write the dialog then revisit it later.

3.) Stuck on the whole scene? Skip it and write the next one.

4.) Write on literally any other color than a white background. It just works. (I use black)

5.) If you have a beta, while they are beta-ing have them read your fic out loud. Yes, I know a lot of betas/writers do not have the luxury of face-timing or have the opportunity to do this due to time constraints etc but reading your fic out loud can catch some very awkward phrasing that otherwise might be missed. If you don't have a beta, you read it out loud to yourself. Throw some passion into your dialog, you might find a better way to word it if it sounds stuffy or weird.

6.) The moment you have an idea, write it down. If you don't have paper or a pen, EMAIL it to yourself or put it in a draft etc etc. I have sent myself dozens of ideas while laying down before sleep that I 10/10 forgot the next morning but had emailed them to myself and got to implement them.

7.) Remember - hits/likes/kudos/comments are not reflective of the quality of your fic or your ability to write. Most people just don't comment - even if they say they do, they don't, even if they preach all day about commenting, they don't, even if they are a very popular blog that passionately reminds people to comment - they don't comment (I know this personally). Even if your fic brought tears to their eyes and it haunted them for weeks and they printed it out and sent it to their friends they just don't comment. You just have to accept it. That being said - comment on the fic you're reading now, just do it, if you're 'shy' and that's why you don't comment the more you comment the better you'll get at it. Just do it.

8.) Remove unrealistic daily word count goals from your routine. I've seen people stress 1500 - 2000 words a day and if they don't reach that they feel like a failure and they get discouraged. This is ridiculous. Write when you can, but remove absurd goals. My average is 500 words a day in combination with a 40 hour a week job and I have written over 200k words from 2022-2023.

9.) There are dozens of ways to do an outline from precise analytical deconstruction that goes scene by scene to the minimalist bullet point list - it doesn't matter which one you use just have some sort of direction. A partial outline is better than no outline.

10.) Write for yourself, not for others. Write the fic you know no one is going to read. Write the fic that sounds ridiculous. You will be so happy you put it out in the world and there will be people who will be glad it exists.

Accessibility takes too goddamn fucking long.

My brother was paralyzed in October 2023. We got him home from the hospital (in Texas, when we live in Iowa) in a clunky old hospital chair. He hated it. He was scared and angry and in pain and his life had just changed forever and he couldn’t do anything for himself in that wheelchair. His first goal (aside from learning how to transfer) was to get a wheelchair. My family was lucky enough to afford one so we thought it would be easy enough. Nope.

We couldn’t buy him a wheelchair. He needed a prescription. For a wheelchair. A doctor had to examine him and declare him in need of a wheelchair. It wasn’t good enough that he had scans and tests showing tumors cutting off his spinal cord. He needed his primary care doctor to examine him during a physical and write a prescription. He was making 2-4 transfers a day, tops. He had no energy to get to a doctor. Home health was in and out every day. He had no time to get to a doctor. He didn’t get a prescription for almost a month. Then it had to go through insurance.

We asked if we could skip insurance and just buy a wheelchair for him. Nope. They wouldn’t sell us one, not even at full sticker price. It needed to be approved by Medicare. We ordered a wheelchair, a nice one, a good shade of green, sporty, small. It would let him move around the house. He would be able to cook, to reach drawers and get stuff from the fridge and brush his teeth and put his contacts in at a sink. We were told it would take awhile, maybe two months. Silently we all hoped he would be around to see two more months.

He went on hospice care on a Saturday in March. On Monday, I was calling his friends to come see him before he died. I got a call on his phone. It was the wheelchair company. They were about to order his wheelchair, she said, but there was an issue with insurance— had he stopped being covered by Medicare? Well, yes. When he started hospice care, he got kicked off Medicare. The very nice woman I talked to told me to call her if he resumed Medicare coverage so she could order his wheelchair. He died less than 12 hours later.

We ordered that chair for him in early December. Medicare didn’t approve the order until March. He was dead before they got around to it. He wanted that fucking wheelchair so badly. The only reason he had any semblance of independence and any quality of life for the last five months of his life was because the wheelchair company lent him an old beater chair, a very used model of the chair he ordered. If I could go back and change one thing about his end-of-life, I would get him his dream wheelchair. He told me again and again he couldn’t wait to get it, so that he could feel like a person again. He made the best of what he had with that old beater chair, but it still makes me mad to this day. He was paralyzed. He needed a chair that afforded him dignity. We had the money for it. And yet, we were left waiting for five months, for a chair that wouldn’t even get ordered until the day he died.

okay either there's a spy in the house or, like, they wired my phone camera, because how is it that any time i'm too tired/in pain/not feeling up for food, my parents ask "how are you? have you been eating?" moments after i make the decision?

Iike. i don't post pics on my normal insta acc. i don't post them anywhere. i barely take pics at all. and i don't do videocalls. how the fuck? seriously.

#ed #i think #idk #i'm like. generally not a hungry person #i also sometimes willingly skip meals #but like. today i'm just too tired to make dinner anyway #also i had like lunch and 3 snacks for the meds so. #anyway #how. #i'm also paranoid. like. certified and all. when i get manic. and i've been manic for a few days but it's mostly over i think. #like my therapist said i was evidently manic but awate enough that i was probably coming out of it 2 days ago #so yes. i'm over it. for now. why do they have to make it come back
