#i cant start scripting for a new dr

[soggy-shifter]

Oh no it's happening again 😔

I'm reading the witcher and.... I can't... I promised myself I would focus on my streamer dr. I can't... but Geralt is so pretty and strong 💀

[princess-angele333]

GUYS GUYS GUYS i just shifted!!! I cant believe it!! Yesterday,ive been affirming "ill shift tonight and be back at 6 am tomorrow" so then after going to sleep i woke up in my room,right? A few things were different hut I didn't give it much thought (a few posters,some candles etc.) and i dressed up to go to school,right? Which,my closet also had some stuffi hadn't seen before but i was tryijg not to run late...and when i get there 2 dudes i REALLY wanted to talk to said they "were waiting" for me and started walking along side me and talking ab my fav video games!!! And atp I didn't understand what was going on UNTIL i saw myself in like a ,yk those doors that have a half clear square at the top?? YEAH IN THOSE and i looked like my dr self,(when making a script mentally and on paper i hadnt decided if i wanted look really different so i just wrote like clear skin,a bit longer lashes,longer layered wolfcut. With faceframing layers and red highlights) AND they were both constantly trying to like ask me all sorts of stuff like "did u sleep well" or "did u eat breakfast yet" and they went on to tell me ab a new game while i was standing there like 🧍🏻‍♀️so basically we ended up to the like market near to get breakfast,then i came home,and i noticed all sorts of things like i had his drawer full of makeup and skincare...anyway yeah i shifted FINALLY and ive been constantly trying for like a month and yesterday when affirming i wasnt really doing it like focusing on it and didn't really believe it at first,then my mind was like "im gonna shift tonight wether i like it or not ive had enough" and so yeah...ANYWAY IM SO HAPPY HEHEHE never give up no matter how much it takes dont worry youll get there!! Just stay persistently affirming even if you're not paying attention to it! Visualizing might help but you should really just do what feels right for u! I didn't even have a proper script for this dr yet i got there!its all about consistency and mindset! Do whatever feels right to u and come back to tell us the stories cause it's really motivating, especially for baby shifters who dont trust this yet (understandahle i didnt really either)

Anyway,im gonna shift to a jjk and another dr soon so stay persistent and don't let your past reality discourage you<333🎀

୨୧٭˚ sooooo i shifted to a dr from.. 5th grade..? + things i manifested??

ok soo i accidentally shifted to an mha(?) universe trying to get to the void- i was a tad bit bored before i went to work, and i was like “okay let me go to the void bc why not”.. this is the first time i tried to go to the void without a subliminal.. i usually always go with a subliminal, i also tried the distraction method cause i wanted to try something new.. i counted from 12-1, 13-1. affirmed “i always shift and get into the void in seconds”, “it’s crazy how i always shift on command” and i dreamed of a scenario. MIND YOU, the scenario i was distracting myself with was how i meet tloml.. (in school) i was talking to a boy, then i felt a familiar feeling of just walking through halls.. like my body just went somewhere else.. i walked into a pe room, unfamiliar with it. these gyms were four times bigger then my schools. when i walked in, i could feel my hair suddenly get longer and straighter.. and cyan. I walked in further and suddenly noticed a paper on the ground, it was the school name, an all black school that harnessed students with quirks..

soooo im looking at the papers a bit confused, my first thought wasnt “why tf am i in a school and not the fucking void like i wanted to be”, but it was rather “why am i here.. and why is my hair blue and straight..” then i thought about it and it all makes since.

sooooo i use to be a gacha kid in from 4th-6th grade and i was obsessed with mha in 5th grade and id always combine the two, gave myself ice manipulation.. star eyes? other unrealistic shit i cant rmb.. but thats besides the point.

i noticed i had powers when two people i was unfamiliar with came up to me asking me why my hair was blue and laughing and stuff.. i told them “i don’t know and to mind theirs” because why are you guys coming up to me if its not compliments or trying to be friends like ew.

then they got offended and started using their quirks, it was a black girl and a gay boy. the girl had dark magic (which is op asf if used correctly not sure why i didn’t script myself to have it..) and the boy had a speaking quirk.

so you knoww i was using my ice powers or wtv, throwing daggers at them creating walls and stuff.. (use todoroki and sub zero and combine there powers and thats me.)

i eventually beat them by putting ice on their hands and mouths and i walked out of the pe. from a distance i could see a building on fire. not sure why… i went over and i guess i was trying to play hero or smth and stopping it. i was actually eating zown, putting the fire out.. saving people.. but then my mom called me and snapped me out of 4D-

when i got back to 3D.. my body and ESPECIALLY my arms were sore as THE FUCK. i took some ibuprofen and stretched and went on tiktok.. AND YALL.. ALLEGEDLY my influencer crush (ifykyk) is ALLEGEDLYYYY bisexual.. for a couple weeks i was fantasizing about him.. NOT IN A SEXUAL OR WEIRD WAY! just in a way like “omg we’d be so cute together and we’re the same age so that’d be cute.. i like his personality and stuff.” like it was just a bit like oh my gosh did i manifest him on accident or smth-

MORAL OF THE STORY: the distraction method works- 10/10 highly recommend if you have trouble focusing!

Imprint Reality

About Me 

Name: Kasi Voltaire

Age: 17 

Gender: Female 

Height: 5’4” 

Birthday: January 30th

Occupation: student 

Backstory 

One parent again lol- my mom is Genevieve Voltaire. I live in Forks, Washington. I grew up with two childhood friends,and they’re a lot like my siblings if anything. These people are Seth and Leah Clearwater! Their father, Harry, is essentially my Uncle at this point. Even though they live on the reserve, it never stops us from hanging out constantly. This can be having movie nights and sleepovers, or just doing our respective homework together. This reality is definitely one of the more ‘cozy’ and just relaxing DRs I have. Because I don’t do a whole lot, and I don’t have a lot of responsibility. 

Once again with the ambiguous backstory, I haven’t scripted a lot of details except my mom and where I live. I also have to say, that although this reality is inspired by Twilight, it is NOT Twilight. The plot is not the same, and there are just a lot of differences. The main idea is the same though. The people in my DR look a lot different, and act different as well. One of the main differences that is that Jacob initially has his little crush on Bella, but after the first few times she stiffed him, he backed off. (Like a normal person??) So there's that. 

So despite being lifelong best friends with Seth and Leah, and even occasionally meeting Mr. Black, I have never met Jacob. At some point I started getting curious about my best friend’s friend, and I had heard about Jacob from them and his dad, but we just never interacted. (Which isn’t surprising considering my feelings about meeting new people.) Some other information about me is that I’m kind of homeschooled. (YOU CANT MAKE ME GO TO HIGH SCHOOL.) So I take online school, and I really like it. 

I forgot what I was going to write after that. So I’ll just mention that the timing in this reality is more modern, so there are smart phones, etc. Some weird things about me are that I like bubble baths, I have a coffee addiction, and I have a green house in my backyard! Also my mom is a veterinarian in this reality. And something weird that I keep feeling about this reality is that I think I might be diabetic? I occasionally see myself with a continuous glucose monitor on my arm when I visualize myself in this reality. So there’s that! 

I remember what I was going to type earlier! It’s about the werewolf stuff/ wolf shifter stuff. So since my besties are Seth and Leah, I am completely familiar with their culture and the fact that they are wolves. We mess around in my backyard with their wolf forms sometimes. (Its like giant puppy cuddles!) 

Abilities/Extra 

Okay so… obviously this is called my ‘Imprint’ reality. I am in fact Jacob Black’s imprint. And our first meeting is actually when I mention being curious about actually meeting Jacob,and Seth and Leah think it would be fun for all of us to hang out! So the next time they come over, they bring Jacob with them. (I thought it would be hilarious to let him internally freak out inside my house while I am oblivious.) I am also scripting so that I do not know I am Jacob’s imprint when I am in that reality. GIVE ME THE PINING. Also common theme guys- I love werewolves. I am a werewolf girlie. FUR EVA. 

I did script a little bit of an angsty moment- but it’s good! I promise! So I have this feeling that anything regarding my extended family is a little shady? And of course you know I have to give myself a form of magic in this reality. I just can’t help it. Anyway, if you have watched or read Twilight, you know that canonically Harry Clearwater gets offed by Victoria. (A vampire) And I am too emotionally attached to him, he is quite literally my family. So the scene is this: 

I am hanging out with Seth and Leah when they get a phone call from Billy Black, and it’s from the hospital. This is the point in which Harry gets attacked, but he doesn’t die, he is just critically injured in the hospital. So we immediately speed over there, and it is really bad. This is actually a little rough to think about, but it’s important to my reality. I’m feeling distraught, I can just feel this impending grief. I am just wishing I could heal Harry right now, wishing I could just bring him all the way back, wishing and desperately wanting for him to be okay. I feel this weird tingling in my palms where they are resting on the hospital bed, and then I suddenly feel this warmth rushing through my veins outward- and the heart monitor next to the bed starts beeping regularly. This is an activation of sorts of my magic, even though I have no idea. (I am NOT scripting trauma I promise!)

[nerves-nebula]

Has the overall story of Loose Stitches changed significantly since you started drawing it?

BOY HAS IT. ITS LITERALLY CHANGING AS WE SPEAK. anyway this got long so. under da cut

so, like most stories, it's changed a lot since the beginning. i was technically drawing it years before i started on the comic you see before you nowwww HOWEVER i get what u mean so i wont post any old art of atchkie or anything to make a point

TO GET TO YOUR QUESTION: since i started drawing and posting it, things have changed SIGNIFICANTLYYYYY. for example, hanheppi culture (which wont be relevant for years) was basically nonexistent when i started. the only reason you guys know hanheppi people and loose stitches are related is because i literally didnt have a name picked out for the hanheppi, so i had to file them under "loose stitches related" thinking i probably wouldnt post much about them anyway. and ppl started noticing that because i got around to developing them ON THIS BLOG WHILE POSTING LOOSE STITCHES. lol

as for the characters, they've changed too in a lot of ways. dotty's whole deal was generally outline before but i filled it in over the last few years and now it's like. genuinely could be its own novel lol.

ATCHKIE'S personality has been kind of hard for me to get a handle on because they are a kind of person who i don't have much in common with. but i think i'm getting a better idea of them as time goes on.

Reg Willow and Eden are still being workshopped cuz they're gonna appear later on and i haven't written them very much, so they're actively changing as we speak.

and then of course the entirety of part 2 has undergone major changes and is still actively shifting in huge ways. i see part 1 as basically set up and foreshadowing and getting to know the MC's and part 3 (if it can be called that, im prolly gonna break up part 3 into different chunks tho) as the pay off/explanation portion.

but part 2 is kind of more like a road trip adventure that the characters take on the way to trying to find things out about themselves and their goals. they run into a bunch of weirdos and its basically just the part where i get to have a ton of weird shit happen and then they run away. half of it is not even plot relevant and i'm SO EXCITED FOR IT!!!

and because it's way more flexible and is basically just a "author gets a free for all to do whatever it wants" card, it changes rapidly and often. I've brought in characters from past stories to fill in spaces, and i've combined certain plot points and storybeats. i've cut shit i didn't think was fun and then added entire towns just for 1 scene i wanna do. so thats probably the part thats changing the most.

other minor things that have changed is the near spontaenous creation of characters like professor silk, leilah, and mia. what happened with them was that i had points in the script where characters would talk and then i realized that if they were gonna have all these interactions with characters, they should probably be reoccurring ones instead of a bunch of one offs. Now professor silk is a minor but recurring characters, and Leilah was upgraded to full on girlfriend almost on a whim. Mia was the most spontaneous one tho.

in the scene where Mia throws dotty off the balcony, that was SUPPOSED to be Leilah and just some random friend atchkie was hanging out with. but since Mia had appeared before i was like fuck it, why introduce a whole new friend when i can reuse what was a one off character? and then while blocking out the fight it was just easier for me to imagine someone accidentally throwing dotty via strings than Leilah pushing them off in the struggle like i'd planned.

i could keep going on with stuff like this but the tl;dr is: yeagh. shit is changing constantly and all the little changes end up with the finished product being vastly different from the start.

and thats why i love serialized stories. there's an inherent jank to it that i cant get enough of on both the process side and the reader side.

[chiimeramanticore]

Working on any fun projects rn?

sort of! i've been worried lately that i seem radio silent on projects lol, but ive really just kinda been working on things i cant entirely share yet. this has probably gone under some newer followers' radar but work has been slowly chugging along on the animatronics zine im running @showroomcertifiedzine ! all the contributor art is finished, and i'm just waiting on another mod to finish the cover art so we can move into the fun cool preorder phase where people involved in the project can actually get to start talking abt it lmao. look forward to it soon! (hopefully in the coming weeks?)

i also have a couple slightly less serious things going on-- im always working on potb of course, and i've been recording myself narrating chapters when i have the free time for a potential upcoming podfic version of it (though i may toss those recordings if i happen to find VAs for the characters cough cough hint hint wink wink nudge nudge). i also do plan to restock my rae stickers soon, since those did really well, and maybe there'll be a new face or two this time?? (but you didnt hear that from me lol)

believe it or not i havent given up on making more video essays yet lol. the cec video has a significant amount scripted, but progress has slowed to a glacial pace as ive had to backseat it for the zine and more immediate stuff. i also have a handful of other scripts in various stages of completion so something's bound to get done eventually lmao

tl;dr: i know it's been quiet, im doing stuff i promise its just all still cooking. wait no dont unfollow me wait where are you going come b

It took me 14 years to get a proper treatment plan for my OCD

I have struggled with incredibly and increasingly severe OCD for over a decade now and I don't tend to bring it up with doctors because I have been shut down and ridiculed for it by medical professionals before.

I recently started seeing a new GP (family doctor) to get scripts refilled for my ADHD medication. Instead if just passively signing my scripts and sending me on my way (as all other doctors have before) she asked me about how they were working for me and if there were any side effects on my current dosage. She was the first doctor in 14 YEARS to actually check up on those things and ask me those questions.

I reluctantly told her that my anxiety had been getting worse and worse over the years (I'd read that the pills could do that) and over the course of my appointment I felt more and more comfortable opening up to her, especially after she told me about her transgender daughter who she is so very proud of. I think she was sending me subtle hints after seeing my incredibly ngc appearance, and we even spoke about dysphoria at length.

I decided 'hey shes really open minded, maybe I should tell her'. I told her about my OCD, my compulsive thoughts and debilitating routines I have to carry out.

She immediately asked why I wasn't on medication for it. Up until this year I had NO IDEA there were actually pills out there for it. I'd resigned myself to living with OCD that would just get gradually worse and worse until it turned my brain to soup.

She gave me a prescription, I had the treatment plan within an hour and I have follow up appointments scheduled to check on progress. I cant believe it was that easy this whole time. I cant believe it took 14 fucking years for a doctor to help me.

It is so so important that we have open minded doctors, that we have doctors who are up to date on recent studies, that we have doctors who understand mental illnesses and how different medications effect them.

I started my first pill yesterday, they take 2 to 6 weeks to work fully. Even if they don't work and I have to try something else, I want to thank Dr Strauss from the bottom of my heart.

I'm actually in shock

[ukftm]

Hi i’ve messaged in a couple times about GP refusing to prescribe.I have tried everything,i had a 3rd meeting with GIC over zoom Dr said all she can do is re-approve the recommendation for testosterone.I got a new shared care letter signed and sent to GP,waited ages GP said they wanted more info.After weeks waiting i called and GP practice said they wont prescribe,they want GIC to write the prescription and handle monitoring.I called GIC knowing they cant write scripts and asked about what my GP asked,GIC said they have had no correspondence from my GP.I then called GP,asked them why my GP lied they ignored this,and this time they said they would never write a HRT prescription.I made official complaint to health ombudsman and heard back from them saying a GP always has the right to refuse and prescription.I’m now moving house as only had 2 GP surgery in my area and after going through complaints with both surgery they have refused to write.I’ve tried to die twice since this all started and now that will go against me in trying again.Theres not much point to this message other than it seems the that i wouldn’t recommend complaining as they will side with GP’s in not prescribing.I’m going to try one last time at a 3rd GP but if i get a no again,i’m checking out as it’s been 10 years since coming out and nothings changed,all i see is people getting their transitions started and mine never started at all.Anyway thanks for all the help.I wish you all who run this blog the best.

Hi Anon,

I’m sorry to hear that you are having such problems with the GPs you have tried.

GPs can refuse to treat you without a referral from a GIC, but they should not be able to refuse you when you have the paperwork from your GIC.

It sounds like you have tried what you can to go through the complaints procedure, which must have been difficult and upsetting for it to not result in a good solution.

The NHS unfortunately continues to have many medical professionals that make transitioning very difficult, but that does not make them right and it does not mean that there will not be others who will be happy to help you access treatment.

While complaints do not always have positive outcomes, the official complaints procedures should always be followed if you experience problems with accessing your medical treatment. This is the only way to ensure that if you are mistreated, a formal investigation will be carried out.

Can you consider getting T privately?

No one should ever feel that taking their life is a solution or that you are alone in how you are feeling.

Do you have support or someone to talk to about how you are feeling?

If you want to send us a message off of Anon, I am happy to chat to you.

[chipper-smol]

Aight imma reply to this because I believe you’re asking in good faith.

The fact that you already hold doubt for this tool in terms of ethics, economy, and copyright should let everyone know that, even if generative ai helps artists streamline their process, it is a flawed tool.

tl;dr: Generative ai is a deeply flawed tool that, comes with an abundance of prerequisites, does not easily integrate into the process, and serves as a massive injustice to yourself as a growing and learning artist. It treats time as an issue instead of a resource.

Let’s take into account what generative AI needs to function. It requires space for server rooms, which costs money. It requires servers to store data, which costs money. It requires maintenance like consistent cooling, which costs money and water. It requires hundreds if not thousands of people to review data entered into these servers, which costs money (and if thats not happening, that presents a very worrying flaw in the system)

Thats just what I can think of off the top of my head that generative ai needs before it can even be used. That is a massive blackhole for funds just to generate oddly unsettling images and videos. Yes it’s more convenient to the end user, but greatly unsustainable from a company’s point of view (which is why they push so hard at the narrative that EVERYONE should be using it.)

Say that I use generative ai to produce concept images to a client. My client will be like “oh i like this, but I would like you to change X, X, and X.” The thing about generated ai images is that it’s a flat file. They cant be edited. If you want to add those edits to please your client, you either generate new images while hoping those edits miraculously work out the way you want to (without adding other issues) Or you break out your hyperrealistic rendering skills for the thumbnailing part of the creative process… which is unnecessary work.

On the other hand, say a client has an idea but has no way to visualize it in a way thats satisfying to them. I can take 20 minutes out of my day for a handful of thumbnail sketches and then an extra 20 minutes integrating their requests.

If you use generative ai to create concepts for yourself as an artist… i mean theres no harm in that, but you’re doing yourself a massive injustice.

When you write essays in schools, it’s not (supposed) to be about the word count, it’s about exercising your brain to be able to present the opinions that you have in a concise and meaningful manner. There are stories of kids in school using ChatGPT for essays. It always makes me wince for the day they inevitably end up in a position to defend their ideas and don’t know where to start to formulate a response. I didn’t enjoy writing essays in school, but here I am now, writing an equivalent of one because I built those skills.

It’s not like using keyframe interpolation to keep you from having to do digital animation frame by frame, it’s taking away a key part of your self reliance as an artist.

It also doesn’t solve anything. There is no issue that exists in an artistic process that generative ai solves- unless you count time as an issue instead of a resource. Most artists don’t want generative ai because they have no use for it. It doesn’t work like IK rigging in 3D, where this tool helps you move limbs in a more realistic manner much more easily. Most tools help generate more time because thats what helps artists do more.

Time as a resource allows you to enhance the quality of your work. Let’s take a comic artist for example. Time allows a comic artist the ability to plan out page compositions, backgrounds, symbolism, dialogue, plot, character consistency in both design and personality, effects, rendering, etc. When theres less time to work with that means the comic artist unfortunately can’t flush out each page as much as they would like, possibly due to deadlines or other pressures. Time as an issue changes the script where artists are punished for not working faster. The quality of the end product is not considered, but instead, only that it exists. This leads to the soulless creation of things like Disney’s Wish (which was a nightmare behind the scenes) where creation is obligatory and not something made out of passion.

I got a little off topic on that last part but im keeping it in, because I feel like the constant pressure to Create Content goes hand in hand with generative ai

If time is the issue generative ai solves, then that generated image has nothing that makes it worth working with.

one thing that irks me about tech bros is that they fundamentally misunderstand how artists seek out tools to help their process

the thing about creating innovations and tools is figuring out how to streamline an annoying part of the process so you can get to the fun part of the process.

If I don't have to worry about drawing every strand of hair on a cat, that makes it easier for me to draw a cat: and so people in the community have made so so so many hair texture brushes with all these different and shapes to help me create that cat

in motion graphics animation, it'd be a massive time sink to manipulate a model Frame By Frame without keyframe interpolation. Keyframe interpolation is where you tell the computer to move an object from point A to C and the computer fills in what point B is. Its a feature and a tool that reduces the workload of a project and allows you to focus on what you really want to do instead!

which is why anytime I read and hear about a tech bro going off about the wOndERs oF Ai I wonder if they actually have any knowledge of the field they're trying to solve problems for, or if they're just moonlighting as Explorers of the New World granting Savages new technologies that they're too dumb to understand

[diamondcitydarlin]

okay idk here are my MoM takes, such as they are. I honestly found most of the film to be forgettable to the point that I don't recall a lot of what happened, but then I don't think a lot actually happened, at least plotwise. Michael W*ldron and his yt male mediocrity strike again

yes, visually it's a very stunning movie. if that's literally all you're looking for in a film then I guess this is for you. although that said, there are some weird transitions between scenes I still don't understand creatively but whatever, nitpicking.

people keep likening this to a horror because of the dark visuals and occasional jumpscares, but I'd say that's about where the parallel to the horror genre starts and stops. also, the whole 'horror' thing relies on Wanda being the slasher monster which...is cool in a way? But also a pretty misogynistic take on how a female character processes her grief, but I'd expect nothing less from Michael. anyway, it's not really horror, just a film with creepy visuals.

the pacing is awful. the writing as a whole is awful. Scenes drag on longer than they should, there's little to no build up of any character though after a certain point it's clear we're supposed to care about certain characters and their dynamics together but it's like wait when did you give me a reason? there's very little explanation for anything, things just sort of -happen- and rely on the viewer caring more about how they look then why they're happening in the first place. oddly, the writing relies a great deal on the audience having seen Wandavision beforehand despite taking very little of the show into account for anything else.

Michael's very male-centric POV, early 00's style of writing is ofc the defining tone of the script. While this is kind of a dual Wanda and Dr. Strange piece (SORT OF) all of the narrative sympathy and build up is devoted solely to Stephen. We're supposed to feel SO BAD for him as he corners his ex-gf at her wedding to talk about their past relationship even as she is visibly uncomfortable and says as much, and then later he's still pushing his feelings towards an alt-universe version of her but at least then she's just like 'ok thanks lol'. When the Illuminati tell him every Dr. Strange is evil including him the narrative frames it as an obvious lie because clearly Stephen is much more nuanced than that; Wanda though, 100% evil, no justification for anything SHe does EVER. It's the double-standard in who gets to be a sympathetic character and who doesn't for me. Very game of thrones lol. Also the fact that Wanda is given no more narrative motivation to go full evil than 'I AM A MOTHER I HAVE CHILDREN' which, yes, I understand is a big part of her character in any context but you cant tell me wandavision didn't manage to make her character and motivations more nuanced where this film didn't even try. The writing literally relies on 'sad woman = evil' and nothing else. I mean, it's pretty clear to me there was an avenue here to have Stephen and Wanda commiserate and find some comfort from each other in their shared issues maybe, but then we wouldn't have woman = bad and thus a scary monster villain

Lightspeed kill your gays happens in a scene that could be easily edited out for homophobic markets, but who is surprised?

The people who seem to watch marvel solely to make fun of fans are delighted that all the new characters who got introduced were quickly killed off bc 'lol stupid blorbo cameo' but like, that doesn't make it a good narrative choice or worth anyone's time at the end of the day. Think of how that time could've been spent giving this film an ounce of narrative depth instead

As far as I'm concerned the only good parts were Professor X's. Only he shows Wanda any kind of compassion, and the scene where he enters her mind and sees the desolation of her grief- IT IS THE ONLY TIME WANDA IS ALLOWED DEPTH OUTSIDE OF EVIL CRAZY LADY. When he tries to help her from the rubble...when he tells Stephen he believes people are more than just their past misdeeds. Idk. Wish there could have been more of that.

My main thing is, I really wish Marvel would hire writers that can put together a self-contained screenplay for these films. It's not impossible; it certainly wasn't impossible here. I'm of the opinion that these films would be stronger if they could stand on their own, if the hour and a half, two hour plot could be a self-contained, tight story that still encompasses the plot points they need to hit going forward. Something that randos not familiar with the marvel universe would still enjoy. It's not difficult, it really isn't. Because yeah, sure, as part of the big multiverse hyping everyone's into this film, and I could be wrong, but I just don't see this movie having the staying power over time that it could have. I don't see anyone, five years from now, being like "omg MoM is one of my fave films ever!!" because outside of the main overarching plot and visuals, it's pretty aimless and pointless. It's pretty aimless regardless of the main plot, tbh.

I ofc realize too that the amount of hype given to this film might be part of what makes the finished product such a disappointment, but I'm certain I would've found it boring and poorly written regardless of how much it was hyped up. It's definitely a let down after Wandavision, why on EARTH didn't they at least use some of THOSE writers??

Anyway, once again moving back into my lifelong 'Marvel probably isn't for me' position because, as per usual, the narrative focus and sympathy has to be devoted to whoever the main yt cishet male character is while everyone else is reduced to villain, sidekick or disposable POC/queer person. Makes the scope of superhero media very limiting.

here's the thing about the prayer scene script:

THERES PIECES MISSING

IMPORTANT UPDATE: if you see this please see the notes on this post because new pieces of the script have been leaking all day and i've been reblogging them in case y'all wanted to be caught up okay back to the show

let's look at script bits 1 and 2:

i mean how does this sound:

"... you changed me, dean."

dean is emotional. cas's words have hit him deeply -- striking right at the core of his self-doubt. But--

"Cas. What does this have to do with--

(then, emotional)

Why does this sound like a goodbye?"

this scene makes no sense. why is dean emotional twice?? if the scene is a progression from the previous page dean should already be plenty emotional. and "what does" what have to do with WHAT, dean?? what does cas pulling dean out of hell have to do with the empty?? what does cas's happiness have to do with dean?? WHAT??? dialogue is missing to complete the piece.

also it's worth noting "what does this have to do with--" was cut (or jensen chose to leave it out)

BUT the most important part of those pictures is (then, emotional)

DEAN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EMOTIONAL so why is it nothing like the final product we saw? i'm convinced something was cut, that on top of jensen actually confirming a lot of his reactions were cut

now the 3rd and 4th script bits:

we've seen the third one before (if you need your memory refreshed because somehow ten minutes and ten years have passed) the third picture was leaked a few days after destiel went canon and it broke out hearts because of the line:

"dean cant reciprocate"

but then jensen pieced us back together a few days after basically saying he didn't think dean even knew angels could feel love like humans and in no way invalidated cas's and our feelings (we love a king, thank you bubby)

anyways:

"I love you"

On Dean, shocked -- receiving this declaration from his best friend. On Castiel, filled with joy. Dean cant reciprocate, but Cas doesn't need him to. Saving Dean, sacrificing himself, speaking his truth-- Cas is at peace.

The moment is cut short. As--

and then the rest. you know what everything in italics is? stage directions/actions. i've written scripts, i've read scripts, i've edited scripts, and even though every writing style is different, the "template" is the same, so whatever way you put it, this is all action

what does this mean? there was a moment between "cas is at peace" and "the moment was cut short" and it was cut

the fourth picture is from halfway down the script (notice the full watermark should read "supernatural film script") so if the word film ends where the action bit starts, it means there was more (dialogue/action) above it

tl;dr: theres parts of the script still missing, its obvious when you examine the script.

and we know this is from the real script because this is a script "negative" of the fourth picture

READ THIS READ THIS

IMPORTANT: I DECIDED TO INCLUDE THIS HERE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THEYLL GET LOST IN THE REBLOGS OF THE OTHER SCRIPT BITS THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED THROUGHOUT THE DAY IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEM CHECK THE NOTED BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT

THIS IS THE WHOLE CONFESSION SCENE:

RIP HELLERS

hi shiftblrr :>

i got a little bored so im gonna tell you about my dr !

i haven't fully shifted yet, but i have mini shifted!!

when i wake up there for the first time, itll be august 28th, which is three days until i am meant to start 5th year at hogwarts.

when i get there i'm gonna spend time with my brother, hobi. i'll probably go shopingg, get highh, do some reckless shit i cant do in my cr because of my parents.

after that, im planning to sit with neville or draco on the train to hogwarts and sit with a different group of friends once i arrive.

because my dr is bts x hp, i scripted that one of the members (who is practically the loml) will transfer to the school so i can show him around and get to know him for myself instead of scripting a relationship that had already been established.

i hope to stay till the new year in my dr. i would at least like to stay for halloween, and possibly the yule ball.

thats as much as i can think of to share for now, but you are more than welcome to ask questions about my dr or scripting and manifesting ! <3

[ssweetleaf]

i absolutely love that you call me bby! no worries, i'll let you know if something makes me uncomfortable and same goes to u!! pls tell me if anything i call you is too much :) also, i still keep my fingers crossed for u, ily<3

ok, i've read the whole ask you linked and! i think i'm gonna kind of split it to pieces and just tell what my opinion is about all the things this anon writes.

first of all and most important — shifting is 100% safe. it's not like you create a new reality when you shift. you just move your consciousness to another reality where you already exist. you don't just appear out of nowhere in your dr. your clone has already been there for a long long time. you don't transfer your body to another reality, just your consciousness.

another thing. the anon wrote "and i cant imagine how scary it will feel when you're back in ur cr and you keep wondering if this is *actually* your cr or if you're in another reality that's just like your cr yk" and i don't think it's true, because as i said sometime before, there are infinite realities. let me give you an example: i put two buttons in front of you, one of them is red and the other one is blue and i ask you to choose one. and let's say that you chose the red one. that's the moment when you shift (unconsciously, of course) because there is a reality where you chose the blue button, your consciousness just isn't there.

when it comes to using shifting as a coping mechanism, well that is obv not the healthiest option, BUT let's please remember that so many people use shifting just as an adventure, as something new to try. not everybody shifts to meet their comfort characters, that's just most of what is showed on tiktok, but that's not everything. and even if someone shifts just to meet their comfort characters, what's wrong with that?

if someone is scared that they'll get too attached to their new friends in their dr, i recommend scripting that you don't miss your friends when you're not in your dr (i did that!).

honestly, i've never heard of a really young person who would shift for such a long time that they would get married and start a family in their dr. in my opinion it's super unhealthy when people change their age in their dr. not when it's like a 19 year old who scripts they are 21 or something, but when a 15yo scripts they are like 6 or something years older, well,, of course there are some people who will do that, but we can't do anything to stop them besides educating.

please, can people stop saying that shifting will give you mental ilness? because it won't. can it however cause you to be sad, to miss your dr? of course, if you don't script that you don't get too attached to people in your dr.

educate yourself before you do something. and it doesn't apply just to shifting, but to literally every part of your life. just simply don't do things if you don't feel comfortable with doing them.

SHIT I'M SORRY IF IT TURNED OUT HARSH OF SOMETHING TO THE ANON WHO WROTE THE ASK YOU LINKED!!! that was not my intention, so i'm sorry in advance:( but sharing an opinion is always a good thing that can lead to educating ourselves, so i hope that what i wrote helped with some of the worries some people can have when they consider if they should shift! as always, everything i wrote here is purely based on my knowledge and what i learned from other shifters! stay safe and ask as many questions as you need :)

i'd love to hear more opinions on shifting in general or some specific things tho

— 🌱

thank you bby, i don’t want to write too much under this ask because it’s quite helpful for myself and others!!

but yeah, i’d really like to shift eventually, and it’s a little scary to think of instances where you rely on it so much. but i don’t think i’d ever get to that level. and all these shifting responses from everyone are v v helpful!! <3

[minnesotanaccent]

hey everyone read totally serious star trek script about the enterprise encountering pop up ads. warning for lots of spelling errors, and me being bad at writing in general, and me not learning anything in my screenwriting class and formatting it wrong, and just bad science overall. ok now that we got that out of the way.....

Star Trek season 4 episode 1: the antivirus

INT. BRIDGE

KIRK is sitting in his captains chair, SULU and CHEKOV are manning the helm, UHURA chats with SPOCK in the background. various extras are busying themselves with the other stations.

SULU

captain, we’ve arrived at the planet

KIRK

put it onscreen, mr sulu

the screen flicks from a generic view of space to an all black screen, sulu continues hitting buttons while kirk and chekov look on confused. spock notices this and walks over the the captains chair. the screen flicks on again with a huge image of a nude human woman wearing obviously fake vulcan ears and a nude orion woman, they are posing seductively, the text reads "HORNY ALIEN GIRLS ARE IN YOUR QUADRANT! HAILING FREQUENCY 69 FOR ALIEN SEX NOW"

KIRK

mr sulu get this debauchery off my bridge!

SULU

im trying, sir, but the message wont go away!

KIRK

mr spock can you explain this?

SPOCK

it appears to be some type of advertisement. in ancient earth culture these were called "pop-up ads". they usually mean the computer is infected with a virus.

KIRK

a virus?.... 

sulu, keep working on that screen. uhura, block all hailing frequencies from that number i dont want them getting any information. 

kirk presses the call button on his chair, he reaches SCOTTY.

KIRK

mr scott, there is a serious problem with the ship.

SCOTTY

aye, captain im aware of that. i cant get her under control no matter what i try. its like all systems are being blocked by something!

KIRK

they are scotty, have you heard of a pop up ad? im going to need you to do everything you can to get the ships warp drive back up, maybe if we turn around and go out of its range it will go away.

SCOTTY

ill try my best captain. scott out.

the call disconnects ands kirk looks around clearly not knowing what to do next

UHURA

captain, i tried blocking them, but their requests keep comnig, they want to speak with you captain.

KIRK

fine, open hailing frequency, lieutenant.

UHURA

aye aye sir, hailing frequency open

the visual on screen doesnt go away but kirk can now hear a VOICE. 

VOICE

your computer is infected! 26 viruses found! download free computer cleaner now! your computer is infected! 26 viruses found! dow-

KIRK (voice continuing to repeat the message over him)

who are and what have you done with my ship? are you listening to me? im captain james t kirk of the uss enterprise, i order you to cease holding my ship!

the voice continues. kirk turns around to uhura

KIRK

close hailing frequency

INT. SICK BAY

MCCOY sits at his desk, looking at the computer screen. he seems very frustrated. there is a sleeping man on one of the cots near him

CHRISTINE CHAPEL enters, the does a double take and comes over to dr mccoy.

CHAPEL

doctor are you alright?

MCCOY

not really. take a look at this. (he ushers chapel to lean over and view the screen)

that crewman over there seems to be allergic to the dust on the supplies we just picked up from the starbase on that distant planet. not many people have this allergy, so i went to the computer to get the ingredients for the hypo, and no matter what i search i get the same thing

christine leans closer and reads the computers contents out loud

CHAPEL

doctors hate him.... 60 year old man looks 25... just follow this one simple trick....

doctor mccoy i dont understand?

MCCOY

neither do i..... and i cant get it to go away, and asking for more information just leads the comupter to reboot. ive tried everything. if i cant get this man his hypo in 24 hours he will die of anaphylactic shock!

CHAPEL

you should contact the captain right away!

MCCOY

i tried but it seems like communications are jammed.....

mccoy and chapel look at each other with great concern.

INT. BRIDGE

kirk and the others continue to fiddle with the tech on the bridge. the vulgar image still stands on screen, but the explicit parts are covered by fabric. kirk walks over to the science station where he encounters mr spock

KIRK

spock, how is your research coming?

SPOCK

captain the cause of the ships malfucntions is still uncertain, but i beleive i am getting closer to discovering a solution... the planet below is broadcasting a very old type of signal.. a wireless fidelity, or wifi, signal, that connects to the ship and is able to recieve thier images and sounds, and transmit thier control over the ship.

KIRK

wifi?..... ah yes... the way that humans accessed their computers in the 21st century..... but hoe can the enterprise recieve signals that have been obsolete for 200 years?

SPOCK

i dont know, captain. but i do know that the best way humans had to delete these 'viruses' was to do a series of restarts and filinf. first we must find a way to clear our memory banks from just before this happened, to now. then we must initiate a full restart on all affected systems. last;y we must leave as quickly as possible to avoid getting infected again.

KIRK

i must admit this is all very strange. but we must do it

kirk walks over and sits in his chair. he calls scotty

SCOTTY

captain im sorry i dont have anything fixed just yet-

KIRK

scotty, dont worry about that. i need you and your men to be ready for a full engineering restart on my orders, stand by

SCOTTY

standing by sir.

KIRK

spock, take ensign chekov and go down to the main memory core of the computer and start manually deleting all files of the last 4 hours.

SPOCK

yes captain.

spock and chekov go to the turbolift and head down to the main computer core and immediatley split up and starts looking through the walls of lights and panels

back in the bridge, kirk calls spock on his chair phone

KIRK

spock, have you done it? is everything deleted? spock? chekov? whos there?

CHEKOV, voice is very glitched and scratchy but we still understand it

sir we cant hear you very well.... we unplugged the main....... we think..... worked..... ready to reboot.... on your command..

KIRK

good. ensign chekov stand by

kirk switches to scotty

KIRK

mr scott, full engineering restart!

SCOTTY

on it, captain!

a light appears on kirks control panel, he quickly switches to medical

KIRK

bones are you aware of whats happening? theres no time to explain but i need you to initiate a full medical reboot.

MCCOY

jim- a full medical reboot? i have a man here on total life support if i do that he will die!

KIRK

.... isnt there any way to keep him safe for the minute the power is off?

MCCOY

well, im a doctor not a miracle worker! i suppose i can try to have nurse chapel do emergency cpr on him, while we use some generic anti inflammitory hypos to keep his throat from closing up due to the allergies....

KIRK

whatever you have to do, do it fast. i need you to restart the whole medical computer and mechanical systems. 

MCCOY

alright...

we see kirk fidget with his hands and look around as everyone is busy trying to fix something. he jumps when he hears sound from the call again

MCCOY

ok jim, its done, the power is restarted.

kirk calls back chekov and spock

KIRK

now! spock! chekov! plug it back it in!

KIRK

and you, mr scott. we need warp 8 NOW.

SCOTTY

ill giver her everything ive got, sir!

KIRK

sulu quickly, a course out of this system at warp 8 for as long as we can hold it.

SULU

on it sir!

EXT. SPACE

the enterprise turns around and quickly warps out of there. we switch to a new part of space and see the enterprise leave warp speed. 

INT. BRIDGE

all images and sounds are gone, the screen shows only normal space and the communication inside the ship is no longer messed up.everyone breathes a sigh of releif, kirk and uhura smile at each other and sulu spins around and smiles at the engineering team of extras on the bridge.

INT. SICKBAY

dr mccoy is injecting a hypo into the man, he looks very relieved. nurse chapel stands by the mans cot and takes notes on a PADD.

EXT. SPACE

we see the enterprise flying around

END CREDITS

[howshouldiknowboutlife]

Heard there was a Stellar Firma theory going around that David 7 is gunna be recycled and we're gunna get David 8. Now, while everyone is allowed their theories, I personally dont believe thats going to happen for a few narrative and actor/acting reasons:

David 7 is specifically an experiment done by IMOGEN and they wouldnt just throw that uniqueness away for a david 8 startover.

Recycling 7 wouldnt teach trexel anything and hes clearly had more personal emotional growth with 7 than he would have with anyone else esp if he had to start again from relationship square one.

Trexel's called David 7 his friend multiple times!! He wouldnt react well to losing that new constant in his life, a constant which has stayed longer than any other. If trexel was abandoned again by david 7 being recycled (which may not be how it would play out but would likely be how trexel would consider it) then he may never let himself get open with another clone the same way he has now. And thats against the story of the show.

Further! If IMOGEN made 8 also a divergent experimental run then the Standards would catch onto her even more than they currently are; logically, the risk isnt worth it, especially when it has yet to be shown that David 7 is failing her experiment.

On top of all that, ben and tim and alex surely know the value of not killing off favored characters without damn good reason and currently there is neither 1 - expectation of real death (that chance left when david made it thru the trial), nor 2 - a good narrative reason as stated above for david 7 to become 8.

Also, as much as ben doesnt care about killing characters, hes been w david 7 a good while now and his next david clone would have to be markedly different from this one. Add on that this is mostly improv and since it seems david 7 is pulled direct from ben's humor, it would be harder to change character like that and it might fuck up the easy comedy flow between the brothers. (Yes i know ben did other davids for a special. You cant tell me those werent mostly scripted to fit with the plot of the show - which is not the kind of acting im referring to rn)

Anyways, tl;dr David 7 is too integral to the plot for him to just be recycled in a show where we've already been reassured in s1 that he wont be recycled, and trexel'a character arc isnt done yet and would be unlikely to be completed with any other david clone.
