#I've read nothing all week

[st-just]

Trying a Tzeetch playthrough in Total Warhammer and, like-

no idea what the narrator/tutorial dude's deal is, but I do enjoy that he's apparently just textually totally amoral and happy to work with literal demons as much as anyone else

'peck out the eyes of a god to claim his sight for themself' is a great motivation for an oracle-demon.

Tzeetch's strategic level fuckery is real fun.

On the battlefield still adapting to having demons who can throw enough plasma to melt a swarm of charging marauders but will crumple like tissue paper is any of them actually connect.

Ben coming back to the cabin to see yet another cannibalistic ritual

[burning-academia-if]

Hello, I blinked and March was over. Another busy/hectic month in regards to Real Life things + I got pretty sick at the end of it (because being sick in February wasn't enough lol). With that being said, here's what I did get done:

Wrote 16.1k words (Chapter 2 total word count: 27.4k )

Started editing/coding in the start of Chapter 2

Did some more coding/tweaking for stat pages

Fixed some variables in Chapter 1 + added piercings and facial hair options to character customization (these will all be added when Chap 2 releases)

Posted Rhea's bday art

With that being said, I thought Chapter 2 would be a max of 30k words, but all the small branching and flavor text in this chapter is really adding up lol. Of those words written, most of it went towards the Lars/Student Warden path. I did however write one of the three endings, and one of two of the RO pov ending scene variants.

With that said the Rhea/Student Government path should be a lot shorter since it's more straight forward, and once that's done, all that's left is a handful of smaller scenes/variants to finish up and then Chapter 2 will be done! I'm guessing it'll end up being between 40k to 50k words in total. I'm hoping to finish up the writing in April and then code everything in to release it by late May! This is obviously very tentative, but unless the universe decides to cause mayhem once more, that's what I'm aiming for!

Lastly, here's another little preview for the confrontational MCs this month (ft Lars):

love how in the drama whenever literally anything happens, wei wuxian turns to lan wangji and calls his name to gauge his reaction, apologise, express his excitement, etc., it's so cute like what are you obsessed with him? (yes, yes he is)

[yandere-daydreams]

Not too sure if you keep up with jp twst updates but have you seen the new Halloween update with the fox dude, Honest Fellow? (Yes that's his name, I'm just gonna call him honest John cause his name's an adjective). I am seriously loving how expressive he is, his devious expressions are so good

i am keeping very up to date with what y'all are doing over there and so far i've been delighted by the idea that, while half of the school's named population is experiencing a prolonged hatecrime in a french catholic school, the other half will be running away to nonconsensual join a circus led by a catboy and nick wilde's humansona. i don't know enough about him to have any major thoughts, but rollo was so fun and it seems like they'll be going just as hard for this event as they did for the glorious masquerade. any event with an ortho ssr is bound to slap and i have no reason to doubt that honest fellow (because i refuse to disrespect such a brave naming choice) will contribute to that.

i don't usually read translations for events but i think i might at least find a summary or something, this time. there's just something about a deceptively charming ringleader with a habit of luring people into his pocket-reality fantasy land that feels like it would go really well with what i do here.

A little rant about leaks because I'm lowkey dreading them. And I'd appreciate it if you'd read it (and if not... 👁👁).

I find the jjk fandom's (though it's true for others too) reliance on leaks very off-putting. I know people want to look forward to something in the middle of the week and talk about it, but this just feels disrespectful, while also being at the cost of other people getting to enjoy it as they want to whether you care about getting spoiled or not.

So many people just don't tag leaks and spoilers properly (forget places where tagging doesn't even make a difference). Seeing things trending with the context of previous chapters explains everything. Not to mention people mis-tagging spoilers and leaks interchangeably (you can remove leak tags after the chapter is officially published but not spoiler tags!!) And no, you're not subtle with your 'out of context spoilers' to someone who has all previous context.

But what boggles my mind is why would you want someone to shout the punchline of a joke in your face before any of the setup has been done. You'll have a bunch of deepfried 2 pixel screenshot of screenshot quality manga panels of crucial moments with none of the build up and pacing. Paired with the most lacklustre explainations of what's happening (the phrasing of which can be biased to the leaker's opinions). Translating isn't easy. To convey what exactly something means from one language to another in an effective and in the intended way isn't easy (shoutout to fan translators tho y'all are amazing thank you for your time and effort)

And whether you care about the story or not, heck even if you think the mangaka themself doesn't care about it, it is just so disrespectful to the content that you're consuming. Making comics and manga isn't easy (churning them weakly is insane imo esp when a lot of mangaka aren't even full time artists) so why wouldn't you allow yourself to consume their story the way they've themself laid it out. Where one panel comes after the other. Where one expression has context in the next page. Where a dialogue has weight only when placed with another dialogue. Give the creator(s) this little grace too, because whether you like a story or not, there is still a huge amount of effort and skill, by multiple people, going into it.

And I personally love interacting with the fandoms I'm in, literally sometimes the only source of joy I have (yes ik leave me alone) is interacting with other fans and having my mind blown over their art and writing and theories. And I'd rather not be spoiled unless I'm myself seeking them out or just reading the actual chapter. So this involves me either spoiling it for myself before someone else does it, or spoiler dodging for 5 OUT OF 7 DAYS A WEEK EVERY WEEK.

I'm not even saying you should only look for official sources or whatever because I know not everyone has access to legal places to read (tho the shounen jump app is there for those interested, but yeah i get it for other publications), but there are better ways to read/hate-readyour fav/least fav manga out there without ruining it for someone else. The wait is juuust a couple of days more. There is absolutely no dearth of fan made content that can't help you last another few days, maybe your new fav fan creator is right around a little wait (ahem check my bs out if you'd like ahem ahem).

I just want to be able to interact with the fandom for more than just 2 days a week, and I don't like my accounts dying because i dissapear 5 days either, and is that a such a bad thing? I come online to have fun, not run an obstacle race y'know?

Plz talk about your crush more I love hearing about ppls crushes it warms my hearttttt

don't tempt me...... okay tempted

also part of me thinks this is someone i know irl who wants to blackmail me but what is this. love simon

okay SO. i am not utterly delusional i think in reality he's just a generally kind person who likes talking to people and maybe thinks i'm nice but he isn't interested in me. like as a disclaimer

so we worked together for a short-term festival like thing and saw each other almost every day for almost two weeks. and almost every time we had a bit of free time we talked to each other (even though there were other people i feel like it was often the two of us) and maybe i'm just starved from horrible bumble conversations but he asked. me. questions. and follow-ups. as in he was actually listening to me. and we talked about movies a lot and i think he had interesting things to say idk

and again this is probably bumble trauma but our texting styles are so similar. no 😂 no full stops no long paragraphs, double texts instead. like it's so easy to text him it felt like we have always been doing it. the texting thing stands in for all of it it's just so easy talking to him, i'm not even super nervous because i know he'll hear me out if i say something embarrassing

also and i hate to say that that matters but he's so tall. i'm 5'8 and it's such a weird feeling to have to look up at someone it's kind of cool

and i think his master's thesis sounds really interesting and i think we have very similar political opinions. like he's pro-palestine, very queer-friendly and shit idk apparently that's rare now if i look at my friends' boyfriends

but i also have to talk about the sad fact that he isn't really into me I THINK. cause we were texting and he asked me what i thought of a movie and then he went to see it because i liked it and then we texted for a bit and in the middle of it he stopped responding. and i had another thing i had to text him, like organisational work stuff, and he didn't take that opportunity to have a longer conversation. i think his text back sounded really neutral and non-committal (my friend said it wasn't it was really nice but i think she was humouring me) and now i can't text him again because that's desperate

but maybe i'll see him at a party on friday and i'll definitely see him at a work thing in late october and we do have that mutual friend who always talks about him. i'm split between her being into him or her wanting to set him up with me. idk i can't place her in that regard. we did say we'd all watch a movie together but how do i get that to actually happen

sorry i didn't talk about his eye colour or his deep voice or something i'm just not that type of person. but he does have nice eyes and a deep voice. jsyk

[blunderpuff]

apparently i have a half sister???

what the fuck???

Weird having an actual favorite band and knowing it. I don't really have many favorites it is hard to understand my feelings and even harder to pinpoint a 'better and more' feeling about one specific thing. But I know all of their songs, I listen to them all in a big playlist and never get bored, I am always happy to hear any song by them, I have every song's lyrics memorized, like ... they are my unequivocal favorite. There is nothing like it. Yes, I can get really into other songs, there are probably singular songs I can say I like more than any one song by this band. But I guess having a favorite is like what people say about getting married. I'm not explaining myself on that one actually I do have a point there that's an actual metaphor but I've decided explaining it is a bad use of my time. It's one of those artists that are popular enough and artsy enough that they can crop up as fic titles occasionally and no matter the lyric or song it comes from I can always tell immediately. I don't remember what the point of this post was I'm deep in my panic phase and it's 4 am and I was just sitting there singing I Have Made Mistakes to myself bc I can just do that, the whole song, and because it is very funny to go I have made mistakes I have made mistakes and I will continue to make them while in the middle of freaking the fuck out about existing or something. Bc you know yeah im one spoon away from setting the ends of my hair in fire because if I'm kindling for a little while at least I'll feel of use ????????? Yeah this post for sure had a point and it's devolved.
