legitimately the best writing advice I’ve ever heard is from the Anime Sickos podcast when they said “start by just making a list of cool shit that makes you hoot and holler.”
On the podcast for geniuses, and the only podcast, Tom and Joe (the Anime Sickos) discuss the four pillars of modern misery - Anime, Gaming, Posting, and Jobs. Except they almost never talk about anime, Joe barely has time to game, online is rapidly devolving into an endless loop of bots talking to each other, and their jobs suck ass. Really what it is is a continuing documentation of the drudge and misery of living under Capitalism, and the hobbies and distractions we fill our lives with that are all awful in their own unique ways, but still better than being at work. Also sometimes they make exquisitely produced audio dramas that get no downloads and make them no money. Please listen to Anime Sickos or they'll die.
I just got done with Sicko Shock 2 and it was one helluva ride, so I felt compelled to draw my mental images of the main characters. I went for a more cartoony style with the anime Kaiba in mind
