i like to think of jam as such a “would you love me in another universe” type of relationship. or what could’ve been? that’s what feels so tragic to me. like - jay could’ve been the only other somewhat close relationship tim had in his life other than brian. or if they had met under different circumstances, would it have been healthier? or even how jay felt? he said it himself he wasn’t exactly doing anything pre-mh. hmm. he felt less alone; but i can only wonder how else it could’ve gone if they were close in another scenario. or ; if they could’ve met in a less depressing part of their lives. they are like a book with the last pages ripped out!

hiii hello so we are just going to go out on a limb here and ask if it'd be cool with you if we wrote some kind of fanfic based on / set in what we understand to be your post canon setting for isat? we might just spend a bunch of time thinking about scenarios within it rather than write any actual fanfiction But we have definitely strayed into Wanting To terrain so we wanna ask before we get too caught up in the idea. your take is awesome and we know we've been putting our thoughts in our reblog tags but at this point we are runnning out of "normal words" there are emotions only poetry masquerading as prose fanfiction can convey now. anyway totally understand if not Have a good day !

oh absolutely go right ahead!! It's my thought that i make fanwork in a communal sense so, if it inspires other people that's kind of the ideal outcome LMAO. But yeah go nuts!!

My musings on postcanon are vague at best and lightly self-contradictory anyway so its not exactly a 'setting' anyone could Fuck Up since 1. its not really Mine per se (it is a fanwork. and to me fanworks are just kind of... for other fans?? to me?? idk lol. like i didnt make the canon lol im not staking claim or authority on anything it feels weird) and 2. i think like the only solid 'plot points' in my perception of postcanon i bash dolls together in is like. Loop came back only a couple months at max while the party was still travelling around After picking up Nille (ambiguous vague timing) and they and Siffrin are going through great pains to obfuscate loops identity because theyre sure that for some reason they are paranoid revealing this would be Bad. and then just all the shit i detailed re: isabeau torment nexus. so like. these three posts (x) (x) (x). and uh. yeah thats like it. i dont keep a clear order of events in my head at all i just think its fun to maximise polycule disaster bullshit for whats probably outright Months before resolving it into "oh okay theyre together now its okay guys dont worry" in whatever level of romance through qpr that you please. which as someone who thinks the whole party is just gonna fall into some weird fucking extended qpr-polycule inevitably im sure u can assume my thoughts are similarly. vague as hell and mildly contradcictory. again.

anyway uhhh yeah go nuts show nuts (optional) have fun the above is to just hand you more posts to feed to your Mind Maw and have ideas about if you want them since generating ideas in other people is What Poasts Are For 👍👍👍

(edit: oh i am reading more of ur tag rambles that i missed just now. :) i like your thourts and reads!)

bro forgot it was a game about learning to forgive yourself even after seeing the full weight of the consequences of your actions, and realizing that you can still be loved and relearn how to love despite everything. Forgot it was a game about overcoming grief and realizing the world still moves on, with or without you, whether or not you think it's fair or if you blame yourself. You still have responsibility over your actions, and everything you do still matters, but forgiveness never promised an easy path. The complete opposite really. It's something you have to fight for, especially against yourself. You still can change people's lives for the better or worse even if you think you aren't worth a second thought. Bro forgot its a game about fighting for a better future even if things could never be the way they were before, I can tell.

having dorf thoughts feeling unwell

[startrekmemequeen]

Where i'm from people often say this about living in a student dorm as opposed to renting an apartment (when you go to college/university). I can't even count how many times i've been told "You haven't experienced real adult life if you haven't lived in a dorm" or "how can you say that your life as a student is hard if you haven't lived in a dorm?"

Many people treat it as sort of an initiation rite for adulthood. It always bugged me cause i'm neurodivirgent and i literally wouldn't survive in a dorm for like a million reasons. For example, i have severe OCD and if i lived without hot water for more than a week, i would go insane and drive crazy everyone around me as well. I know that cause i have lived without water and even without electricity. Did it make me stronger? Did it teach me something meaningful about life? Nope, it just really sucked.

I'm fortunate to afford a room in an apartment with a washing machine, a microwave, hot water 24/7 (well, almost. It's a regional thing.)

And finding this apartment was extremely difficult and i can barely afford it but for me it was that or living in conditions that would make me unable to study efficiently and negatively impact my mental health. So i think the whole "you don't know real life if you haven't experienced bad living conditions/hardship/poverty in general" is kind of an ableist take. I mean, if i'm lucky enough to be able to choose, i choose hot water and a washing machine over an opportunity to "build character".

Writers, here’s your reminder that you should be doing warm-ups!

Athletes need to warm up. Musicians need to warm up. Artists need to warm up. Heck, I even have to play a few matches in video games before I get into a groove every day.

Warm-ups help you get into the right headspace, give you more control of your actions and word choice, get you comfortable in your physical setting (eg: with your keyboard, notebook, tablet, or whatever you're writing with), and spark creativity.

Even if you don’t think you have spoons to write, sit down and do a couple warm-ups. If you still don’t want to, that’s alright. But. I think you’ll be surprised how often they help break that ice.

5-15 minutes is all you need. I personally set a timer for ten minutes each time and do not stop writing until the time is up. Your warm-up can be anything at all so long as it gets you writing and starts nudging those creative juices.

Here's some common warm-ups:

Journaling. Just jot down some notes about your day. Feel free to really lean into something that you noticed. We're going for description and details -- try to avoid settling into a spiral or focusing on something negative that will upset your creativity.

Short story prompts. Type that into Pinterest and pick the most ridiculous, cliche thing you can. Write a little scene, story summary, or even a rant about why you do or don't like the prompt. Just write.

Vocab challenge. If you like a bit more critical thinking to get you in the zone, have a random vocabulary word generator spit out five or so words. Check their meanings and jot down a little story or thought that includes all five. You get more familiar with beautiful and descriptive language, and it gives you a much narrowed prompt (which is lovely if you're like me and suffer each time there's an open-ended task assigned).

Character moments. Try putting your character into a generic setting and write down almost meticulously what their thought process would be. Follow them realizing they've just stepped in mud or dreading the start of the day. Pick a mundane thing and describe them working through it. This will not only get your writing going, but it will wake up the character's voice in your head.

Ongoing storytelling. Did you know that Whinnie the Poo was A.A. Milne's warm up story? He would jot down a quick little story with those very basic characters and did so every day. Whatever came to mind. He kept writing little tidbits on the same characters and eventually it turned into a series. Having that ongoing plot with isolated scenes and simple characters can help you feel more motivated to sit down and write.

Get-to-know-you-questions. Google a list of basic first-date questions (there are a million out there) and answer one yourself. Go into specifics. Where do you most want to travel and why? Let yourself ramble until the question is fully answered.

Writer's block blues. This is a favorite of mine. If you're truly stuck, write about being stuck. Eg: 'I'm supposed to write for ten minutse, but that feels so stupid and impossible. No one is goign to read this anyway. I have no ideas and the page is so overwhelming when its blank. I used to be able to write on and on and nothing could stop me. it was like breathing. but now I have nothign and do nothing and I can't even do a stupid prompt-' Even the rambling and ranting got me writing. It made things easier. It made writing this post easier. Also -- notice the typos? Yeah, don't fix those. You're in writing mode, not editing mode when you're doing this. If you edit while you write, you're forcing yourself to stay in your executive and calculating headspace rather than falling fully into creativity and dream. Ignore the mistakes. That's for future you to handle.

I've officially rambled far too much, but I hope that helps even a little bit. Live well and write often, my friends. Best of luck to you <3

this is about fifteen mins in, I did a simple sketched outline of the bulk shapes first and then blocked out the gist of everything with my paint brush, and I've just gone in and detailed the hands a bit (since they're a good starting place i think for figuring out lighting :3 <- has no idea what they're talking about)
