#can't decide what to work on

hero/villain showdown but one of them has a spontaneous medical emergency and the battle gets put on hold while their archnemesis drives them to Urgent Care

[expressflamebunny]

This is a venting post, but I'm okay with people responding if they feel inclined.

Long story short: I'm struggling with facing the blank page and deciding what to work on. I only have myself to blame for this.

Prior to getting hyperfixated on a certain anime, I was starting to plan out a visual novel. I had some loose outlines, rough character sketches, as well as things link Pinterest boards and short Spotify playlists for the main characters. As someone who majored in English, is a web developer by trade, and has some small artistic ability, I thought this would be a good way to stretch myself. As an aside, I wasn't actually planning to try and make money off of my VN if I had succeeded in making it in part because it would be my first one, and thus wouldn't be very good, and also because my art isn't professional enough to sell IMO. I was starting to get into the habit of sitting down to work on the planning phase of it every night and was trying to get myself to shift into the writing phase. This was over a year ago.

At which point I allowed myself to get distracted from my original project idea by getting hyperfixated on a certain anime that will remain unnamed but should be obvious from my profile pic if you're familiar with it. I stopped thinking about my original work and started focusing much more on this anime along with fan fic ideas for it. My attempt to get into the habit of sitting down to do some creative work for myself daily also fell apart at this time.

Just to be clear, I don't blame that anime for this happening. The only one I have to blame for this is myself.

I want to try and get into the habit of doing some creative work on a daily basis, but I'm struggling to pick what to work on. I've completely lost momentum on my VN, but I have some fan fic ideas kicking around in my head, and then there's plenty of other abandoned original ideas of mine that I could try and return to as well.

While I do think that writing fanfic can be good writing practice and what not, I find that I'm hesitant to write it myself in part because it kind of feels like I'm neglecting my own children to fawn over the cool celebrity kids when I do. At the same time, I'm just not feeling the passion for my own original story ideas, and I do acknowledge that there are benefits to writing fanfic. I'm not used to other people looking at my work, and I think it's safe to say that it will be a lot easier to get people to read and give me feedback on a fanfic that I post than on an original work.

Anyways, I should probably be sleeping and not posting to Tumblr at the moment. This post is probably a bit incoherent due to writing it when I should be sleeping.

We all have to agree Bully Robin should have some softer and caring sides. When there's only them two and no one else is around to judge, he can let loose and slip back into that kinda of "Original Robin" we know and I love. I mean, that's what JDOLH made that got me into these swap messes from the beginning jsjkhskjhd you knowww the HUG!!

Reference: Barbie Girl (Aqua) and this cute ecchi Clamp Chobit piece

All in all I'm a pink bietch and Dollya won't be losing her V-card anytime soon that I can promise so hang in there okay mr.Bully.

reminder that there's nothing wrong with needing medication to do things.

it doesn't make you any less than the people that do those same things without any medication.

taking medication has no moral value, it's about looking after yourself and your health and it's not fair of people to try and imply that there's anything "good" or "bad" about taking any sort of medication.

taking something that works for you and helps you feel better is never a bad thing.

Wen Qing Doctors Up and Doesn't Do the Core Transfer AU

I've had this fic idea in my head for FOREVER about Wen Ning, fresh off his rebellious adventure to the recently-occupied Lotus Pier, absolutely going off on Wen Qing for her even CONTEMPLATING doing the Golden Core Transfer.

"Jie, that is a traumatized teenager. He cannot give consent. The other patient is an UNCONCIOUS traumatized teenager, who can ALSO not give consent. Do not commit malpractice. Don't do it. I am begging you."

"Jie, are you a doctor or a researcher b/c you aren't acting much like a doctor right now, you're acting like Wen Ruohan."

"Jie, you have always been the smartest person I know, and now you are letting second smartest person I know - who is also Very Dumb - convince to do a thing that you don't even think is possible because he thinks it's the only way to save his brother who is understandably IN SHOCK and recovering. Give it like two weeks and think about this, I am on my knees."

"Jie, I know Wei-xiong has convinced you that you parallel with him and me with Jiang Cheng but I'm imploring you to reconsider that you are actually Jiang Yanli in this situation."

"Jie, I have Had A Revelation and this is Going To End Poorly if you love me at all You Won't Do This."

It's the mention of Jiang Yanli that gets her. Wen Qing is like, "oh shit, you right, I am the older sister of two dumbasses and I almost let Dumbass #2 convince to do something Absolutely Idiotic. I need to talk to Jiang Yanli who is immune to Wei Wuxian's stupidity about all of this."

(Yanli isn't immune, but Wen Qing doesn't know that. Yet.)

The story changes, and it's still difficult, but there are fewer secrets and also Wei Wuxian Must Accept Help because it's his beloved shijie asking him to with Those Eyes. He folds before it even becomes a problem.

Izuna's Secret Technique

Shinobi: Seems like you have two of the world's most powerful men wrapped around your finger. Madara's your brother, but how did you manage to tame the Senju's White Demon? Izuna: *Smirks* I suppose it's a combination of both intelligence and charisma. Using those two things you can persuade anybody.

~Later~

Tobirama: No Izuna: -lease please please please please please please please Tobirama: ... Izuna: *Breathes in* Tobirama: Okay fine.

all the news going around with unity's really got me worried for games that are already several years into development like Hollow Knight Silksong and Billie Bust up.

Just rough because I don't suppose a whole lot of games are going to be able to pivot game engines, let alone so late in development. Like it is easier said than done to pivot early in development but i've been following the development of several games that are years in at this point and the fact that they're grandfathering older titles into this is just... it's just bad.

The potential loss of games in terms of archival on such a massive scale....

I SWEAR... I WAS GOING TO POST THIS TOGETHER WITH CHAPTER 7, BUT. JADE WAS BEING A BUTT. So I needed to find a way to restore some of that brainrot. AND I WAS GETTING IMPATIENTFJSKDJS I'M SORRY.... BUT I'LL DO MY BEST TO POST CHAPTER 7 THIS WEEKEND!!!

ANyway! THE PALM-SIZED CUTIES REVEAL... YES. I BOUGHT TREYJADE NUIS!!!!!!!! RIP my money HAHAHA </3 I got them for my birthday, like a little birthday present for myself. JSJDJSK I wanted to get their dorm uniform nuis, but I couldn't find Jade's anywhere... The only one I could find that was within my budget was the lab wear. </3 So I decided to get a matching one for Trey. THEY'RE SO CUTE AGHHHHH I'VE BEEN SO IMPATIENT THE ENTIRE TIME TO REVEAL IT TO YOU GUYS BUT. I'M FINALLY POSTING THISJSKDKS

Moving on to the lore of this... creation... GUYS. I initially wanted to just. Make a 30 second video of Jade tackling Trey and dragging him away. But then when I took the video, I realized that the lighting from the flashlight made it look... a bit eerie? Like some sort of missing footage... so then I got this idea, and suddenly I ended up writing a script, and this video ended up being 5 minutes and 32 seconds long. Sigh. Also, if you noticed the sudden disappearance of honorifics—yeah, it was because I gave up on pronouncing them... I'M SO SORRY FOR THE HORRIBLE ACCENT HAHAHA My speaking still has a lot of room for improvement... </3
