must a book have ‘plot’ and ‘structure’ and ‘progression.’ is it not enough for characters to be in a place. and for that place to be really fucking weird.

i think collectively we have been too focused on the part of that one tango stream where etho talks about his insane desk setup that we got distracted from him saying HE PLAYS GUITAR???????

[buttercupshands]

Was in a bad mood yesterday to post them.... Or clean them, or anything really

in general i roll my eyes at people who complain about all the new quality of life improvements in modern pokémon games bc inconvenience and genuine challenge are two very different things. but the one thing i would definitely agree on that i don’t like in sv is the ability to access your pc boxes any time. it sort of cheapens the experience of having to carefully choose which six pokémon you’re taking before venturing into unknown danger. like i don’t think you should be able to catch a pokémon in the depths of area zero and immediately put it in your party i think you gotta be loyal to whoever you took initially. it’s about being forced to have a plan for all outcomes

unrelated to anything i just spent too much time reading strangers' posts on the for you page. when people complain about other people's depiction of a certain trigger... how do you know other people haven't gone through it. if it makes you uncomfortable it's one thing, block and move on? but. why would your opinion on it be better than anyone else's, considering they might be victims as well. and by asserting they don't have the lived experience to justify their writing/expertise, aren't you forcing them to come out. isn't that much worse and harmful than a wrong starter on a dumblr blog

My sister has started watching The Pitt and every bit of locational branding is a fucking jumpscare.

I got a little more done today!! I'm so excited for more of Joel! Been thinking about him!

I take such a long time building new OCs. Building his playlist definitely helps. How do you guys usually go about making characters?

if you are not in the discord you perhaps are blissfully unaware of my gunnar haluki obsession. and. i just wanted to ramble about him and marcus for a while because there isnt enough about them out there

and it isnt even necessarily the romantic aspect of it. like the two of them as characters and the little bits we know about their friendship are fascinating. and i think lisa was especially good at this in terms of the early quill-related characters; you can see it in a lot of people (justine, marcus, gunnar, aaron, eva, gondoleery, liam, will blair, general blair, nadia, etc.) whether they try to escape that pattern or try to claw their way back into it, but i want to talk about these two specifically.

because marcus, as we all know, had such a big hand in the creation of quill. sure, maybe it was mostly justine's ideals, and sure, maybe he was her right hand first and foremost, and maybe he just went along with what she said. but it is far, far more likely that he really did believe in it, too, and that it was also his ideas, not only from justine. he helped draw people in, he hurt people, he killed people. he killed innocent children.

and while we know very little about gunnar's backstory, we know he was similar. that he believed in justine, too, became her second-in-command and next-in-line, and that he and marcus had a similar falling out with her ideals, and that they turned to each other.

and i think that's what fascinates me about them. the mutual guilt and shame over what they both did in quill. the fact that they have nothing left to hide from each other, since they both come from such similar places, and yet they still *do* because it's a horrific thing to admit to, even though they can't really ignore it. how long and how deeply theyve known each other especially when compared to other characters. gunnar is still hiding his true identity from quill and from artime; he is at home in neither place. marcus says he has no secrets but still keeps the museum of large closed, even to claire most of the time. theyre both still keeping up appearances but meet in secret and that's the only place they can really be themselves and have to come face-to-face with someone else who knows in detail the things they did?? like come ON. marcus is part of the reason why gunnar is the person that he is and gunnar helped marcus get to this position and do they regret it?? like putting gunnar's betrayal and devotion next to marcus's whimsy and repentance is just. so fun to me. there's something deeply wrong with these two weird old men. gunnar illegally taught his daughter to shoot a gun seemingly for nothing other than fun. marcus is over here planning on faking his death (also can we talk about how he told gunnar and not his own daughter. like. what is wrong with him. and how gunnar knows panther but claire has no idea she exists etc etc).

i dont know there's just something deeply wrong with them and this is my pitch. ponder them with me
