#no major plot points change

[calronhunt]

how do you outline/plan your plots? Less about coming up with the actual points more about how you place them down on the google doc

i am not the person to come for this sadly most of the time I simply just keep it in my noggin until I put it down in my google docs into a script. I have tried to outline several times and it almost never works for me, they often feel like I write too much or I write not enough that I get stuck in a lot of places. What I generally (have been trying to do) is just have a big block of text talking about the main things I want out of the story. Some more based on vibes and less based on scenes. These are what I had for COB and WAC respectfully (There's some stuff that's not canon anymore present but stuff that's blacked out is stuff are spoilers.)

(I DID make a whole outline for cob, but it barely resembles what I actually ended up writing, while the blurb is still pretty accurate to the story)

And then I basically try to start scripting off of this, sometimes less! I like stories that are more character focused than Plot focused so it's much easier for me to go off vibes and let the characters do their thing than plan out every single Important Plot Thing that needs to happen.

also if i give a basic vibe thing like this there's a lot less pressure for me personally to stick Exactly To It and to just do what feels right and change shit.

It's honestly one of the reasons I'm having a tad bit of trouble with bbd at the moment lol. there's some plot stuff I need to set up early and allow to get built up outside the character drama, and I am just really really weak at writing actual plot stuff. It's like my main weakness I feel like everything just becomes so stilted and clunky writing wise.

Stranger Things would be so good if only it wasn't written by cishet white male nerds with an inferiority complex.

if i'm being honest i actually don't believe the georgebertha divorce will happen because i don't think julian fellowes has the guts to go through with it.

honestly nothing is funnier to me in keeper than the sheer amount of people who care about sophie's love life. i have yet to encounter a single other middle grade novel where everyone so directly discusses the main character's relationships in the way kotlc does and it's fascinating

"just focus on book 1 without mapping out the entire trilogy" I need you to understand how much I cannot do that

The pattern is that people straight up do not read™. or they read a 3-5 tweet summary of what happened and treat it as if they did. or because shonen expectations based on "the classics" is bullshit and significantly rotted people's brains when deciding wether an ending is good or not.

Which could be nothing right

yeahhh. i will forever regret reading the last chapter through leaks because it was a dreadful experience, and watching everyone ever shit on it for like a week after genuinely made me want to just get off the internet forever or something because i felt like an idiot for liking the ending (all this is my fault for getting too invested in both tumblr and mha etc etc).

All the "it's rushed" and pacing complaints barely matter to me at this point because you just cannot feel the pacing of something correctly when you're reading it exclusively through leaks. you can't absorb info like that. And don't get me started on the number of complaints and criticisms I've seen of the last chapter that are just provably bullshit (I saw someone say Izuku didn't get a statue lmao. yes he did, you just read the fucking leaks and watched twitter drama unfold instead of reading the actual chapter i fear).

Im only a few episodes into s3 but Im starting to remember why I dont like the latter seasons of TMA as much as the early ones. Its the plot. There is too much of it. The change feels really sudden between seasons 2 and 3. There is a pre-statement plot section and post statement plot section (or maybe more than one) in every episode. Wherein s1 and s2 it was usually one or the other and not every episode even had a plot section (and s2 sections were not as intrusive)

Im here to listen to statements about fucked up happenings in ghostville with sprinklings of plot, not plot with sprinklings of statements

My favorite bit in the City of bones movie is that they made up a piece of lore about how bach, the musician, was a shadowhunter, and if you play a certain Bach song you can detect demons? And I'm trying to understand why they did that because that isn't anywhere in the book, and i think they just wanted to speed up a certain fight from the book but it ended up being just really stupid?
