#but i dont have a solid PLAN

[tangledinink]

Do you know where you want tmwn to end? Like will it end around the same time the movie ended (in the bridge) or will there be a few more chapters with an aftermath of the movie that later leads to it closing off?

My current plan is for TMWN to 'end' after defeating the Shredder. The fic already stupid long, lmao, if I took us all the way through the movie and beyond it would end up being a ridiculous length. (Did you know it's already longer than Dune? I am deranged. It's my favorite fun fact to tell people outside of the fandom space. Their reactions are incredible.)

I do have this very vague thought of perhaps one day writing a 'sequel' fic that goes through the events of the movie, but I really want to finish the original fic, first, and I'm also not 1000% sold on the idea yet! My relationship with Apocalypse Timelines and such is a little complicated so I'm not sure right now. ^^;

hm. something about how mike had proven time and time again that he is observant and intelligent and competent. that he's the party's unofficial leader. that he's come up with so many of the plans and schemes to fight the upside down and to save everyone etc etc. but y'all will still act like he's totally completely helpless, can't tie his own shoes let alone save the fucking world, just. totally and completely mischaracterize him for what? is it just because of s4? bc he wasn't useful to the supernatural plot for the majority of the season? bc you're stuck on "what finn wolfhard does with his eyes" and nothing else? bc finn said mike was clueless during s4? please enlighten me why do you take this intelligent boy and turn him into a helpless idiot i am begging for some explanation

Not to be the “I don’t think there needs be a Portal 3” guy but I don’t think there needs to be a Portal 3, BUT I also think when people (reasonably) argue there's nowhere else they could possibly take the story, you could’ve easily said the same about the narrative aftermath of Portal 1. An evil robot oversaw you doing tests, you killed the evil robot and ended up outside of the facility, you’re free. What more is there to say from just what exists there without it being an essential rehash of what you just experienced. But then they added more characters and more lore. When people are like “what more is there to add about Chell or Glados or Wheatley” it’s to me like well really you could just add more. Not saying you SHOULD per se. I will think it’s the funniest thing ever if they make a portal 3, arguably continuing off of the like one thing they concluded satisfactorily, instead of finishing anything else though.

Does the fact that DP now has an official canon continuation affect you while working on the comic

Like does the new canon stuff influence your own vision or has your vision for your reboot remained the same since you started?

Sorry it's taken so long to answer so I'll match with a long answer and update in my process, I'm so sorry lol

But no, an official canon continuation will not stop me from making the comic. And while I do own the new comic and plan on getting all the future official DP merch I can get my hands on, it wont effect my story in the slightest because I haven't read it. Plus I've already written my story and I'm very happy with it. I will someday read the new comic but not anytime soon, I'm just so happy it exists and that it's in my hands either way.

What might stop me (for a little bit at least) is a full on rebooted series, not a continuation/revival because the fandom has been around so long and we've all influenced each other in big or little ways. And since we're all playing in the same sandbox there's naturally some overlap. But this started as a pitch bible/proof of concept for a full on reboot of my own and if there's an active reboot airing I'd be very sad it wasn't mine (so silly I know lol but it's true).

What has stopped me is the a back and forth issue I have on the comic in general. I have found a style of comic I enjoy making, but I have gotten in my own head about it being stiff and bad. I know practice make progress and I'm getting more confident about it and also considering making it into a fic with art and slowly adapting it into a comic just so I can have some thing to post and put out there. But my iPad is dying and outside of sketches on paper I haven't been able to write or draw to the extent I'd like. I've been saving for a new one for a while now and about half way there but life happens and it takes a toll on my savings. So I'm trying to decide what's the best way to proceed and I have a lot of options and that's also a little overwhelming, which sounds silly typing out. But it's easy for me to feel guilt every time I try to commit to one game plan because all my best options rely on me getting a new iPad

like i wouldnt mind like. Not having new linear games post 5 its judt that sims 4 wasnt even supposed to Be The Sims 4 it was a last minute pivot and the base code is so outdated and was broken On launch so like. i just wish we could have the final actual sims game be like. one that was always intented to be a major sims release AND be intended to be so long term . yk

having a Night. havent been alone w my thoughts in a while and im not liking it

I've been planning Kat's Karousel some more. My end goal- as you can guess- is to build a carousel. Today I came to the thought that instead of building an attraction that could eventually be worthy of housing a carousel, I could just build a carousel and form my future attractions around that.

My mom heard this idea and suggested a retro-inspired arcade with animatronics and fun machines that I'm already into, all surrounding the casousel. She also recommended a larger building so I can house my ride indoors, which would be helpful considering vandals exist.

Hmmm I think this is more profitable and the focus on fun and games is more fun for me (nothing against the museum, I still love it, but arcades rock) and the faster I get my spinny horses the better.

Funding this will be an endeavor, but the city I plan to build it in has been trying to revitalize itself through attractions and activities- WHICH MEANS- They are willing to offer grants to make it happen.

My current pipeline now is:

Work out my timeline/budget/financial plan

Find a suitable location (already have two in mind)

Get in touch with the city and find all the extra moneys I can get my little hands on

Contact several ride manufacturers and get quotes for a custom indoor carousel. This thing won't be cheap, but if I'm gonna blow my money on it, I'm not holding back. The one thing I can't afford to be stingy on.

As the carousel is being constructed and the building is being finished and decorated, I gather the rest of the games and activities. Things like pool and foosball will be good filler to save some money and maintenance, but I'll make sure to get some proper electronic games.

Get some fun decor to add to the whimsical vibe

During all of this, blow up all social medias I can with talk about the new attraction. Make it THE place to be in our town come opening day.

Finally rest. The hard part is that at some point in this I have to quit my full time job or move back to part time in order to have time to work on Karousel. But if I do that, any supplementary income from my job will go away. So Karousel needs to earn REAL GOOD on opening day.

i think this oneshot is gonna wind up around 10k long oneshot nation is back

[theclosetedskeleton]

me staring at my DAD when he said "if i see you have any f's during these 10 days.. things are gonna be bad. and by that i mean youre gonna get your tv taken. And youre gonna get no privacy. Meaning im going to take your door away" when i just wanted to go downstairs and get a fucking granola bar and NOT remember that if i fuck up once at school my privacy vanishes

i think sites that have a default profile format but allow users to put custom css on them should be obligated to have an account setting to globally turn off said css
