A bunch of you are really getting into Interview With The Vampire And I would like to introduce you to one of *the* most Lestat songs I’ve ever heard in my life.

Style Over Content, an early 2000s goth rock song by UK band Manuskript, featuring lyrics like “Style over content/ I promise you my best behaviour! Just give me an audience/ I’ll be throwing my toys out the pram again” Does anything encapsulate Lestat better than this collective theme of being very pretty, making a lovely promise, getting a modicum of attention, and then being a massive tantrum-throwing brat all over again?

Weltraum Staub

Weltraum Staub

.. das im OP Saal kein Tageslicht durch die Fenster dringen kann, bis auf ein paar Lichtstrahlen durch die Hölzernen Spalten. Mein Beatmungsgerät piepst im Sekunden Takt. Meine Handgelenke schwer wie Blei, werden genommen, mit Kabeln & Pflastern versehen. Eine der Schwestern fragt:"Hätten wir es NeonLila nicht doch noch sagen sollen bevor es los geht?" "Was soll schon passieren? Das ganze Ding ist ein Experiment. Soll NeonLila uns doch erzählen, was sie auf ihrer langen Reise gesehen hat. Lass sie uns beide zu Ende verkabeln, ehe Dr. Sable wieder zurück ist." "In Ordnung", sagt die andere Schwester, dabei weinende Hunde im Hintergrund, das Lachen von Dr. Sable & schreiende Affen. Darauf folgt ein tiefer aber enormer Knall & Dr. Sable, läuft pfeifend den Gang in unsere Richtung. Ich wehre mich längst nicht mehr. Im Gegenteil zu meinem Sprachvermögen, kann ich sie noch alle sehr gut sprechen hören. Mehrere Köpfe mit hellblauen Mützen, laufen an meinem Fußende, während ich zusammen, mit NeonRot zur Hälfte im finsteren Gang stehe. Es weht ein leichter Wind über mein Gesicht. Wir hören Tiere schreien. Affen, aber scheinbar von weiter weg. Ich versuche meine Fingerspitzen zu bewegen, doch mein Körper insgesamt fühlt sich nur schwer & benommen an. Irgendwer hat irgendetwas gerufen. Es klang wie ein langes; Nein! Solange bis ich es in meinem Unterbewusstsein, mit der Angst zu tun bekomme, kurz denke ich an den Punkt 3. in meinem Vertrag zurück der besagt, dass es sich hier an Ort & Stelle, um ein Menschliches Experiment handeln soll. Mein Krankenbett beginnt zu ruckeln & ich werde in den OP gefahren. Nun strahlt mir das Licht der OP Lampe gänzlich in die Augen. Durch die Tür des großen & kalten Operationssaals ertönen klagevolle Laute von Hunden, mehrerer Hunde & wieder ertönt dabei das Pfeifen des Chefarztes, welches ich bereits anhand seiner Melodie auswendig kannte,: ”bringt NeonRot schon rein & schließen Sie, sie zusammen an & vor allem schließe die beschissene Tür! Zwar müsste das Mittel bereits wirken, sodass NeonLila kaum mehr etwas mitbekommen dürfte, aber sicher ist sicher, ich stecke ja nicht drinnen.” Sein Gesicht kommt meinem immer näher & sein Grinsen wird immer breiter nach dem er hinzufügte; noch nicht.

Schreibblick 39/24

Das Jahr nähert sich so langsam dem Ende und ich blicke bereits jetzt mit Wehmut auf die ersten Monate. Jeden Monat habe ich ein Projekt beendet und dann kam der Mai und ab da ging gar nichts mehr. Daran denke ich jedes Mal, wenn ich in den drei Wochen einen Schreibblick verfasse, denn mir wird schmerzlich bewusst, dass ich aktuell überhaupt nichts schaffe. Ich schreibe nur wenige Zeilen,…

Schreibblick 34/24

Ich merke eine leichte Müdigkeit, denn ich muss mich momentan dazu zwingen die Minutengeschichten zu schreiben. Die Idee habe ich, aber leider keine Lust zu schreiben. Das kenne ich gar nicht. Vielleicht hängt es mit der Überarbeitung des Weihnachtsromans zusammen, denn der ärgert mich noch immer. So langsam habe ich keine Lust mehr, daran weiterzuarbeiten. Aber es muss sein. Ich kann nicht immer…

Oje, klingt nicht gut... Denkst du, die Strategie wird zum Verhängnis? Mein Beitrag zu #einsatzziehtaus von @ella.stein_schreibt Ich habe gerade gemerkt, dass es auf meinem Profil ein wenig düster geworden ist, wohl wegen der vielen Posts zu meinem aktuellen Manuskrips🙉🤣 Magst du diese düstere Stimmung oder wünschst du dir wieder mehr andere Posts?

Manuskript

First thought: do not like the layout.

this is awkward and took me a minute, but it could just be me being an idiot tbh. Also probably more useful for someone who is better at planning ahead. You can edit it later, though.

Going tab by tab:

General is alright, I like the book information you put down. Title, subtitle, series, volume, genre, Author Name, Author email.

The Summary is pretty nice! You start with the situation - a "What if..." that you finish. Then you do a one sentence summary, then a one paragraph summary. Then you turn that into a one paragraph summary, then into a full/proper summary.

The character tab is nice! You can sort your characters under Main, Secondary, and Minor. Each character you can assign a color, either from a 'list' of colors or the color wheel, to go by their name, then whether they are a POV character or not. Then there are places for their motivation, goal, conflict, and epiphany, then their one sentence and one paragraph summary. There are three more tabs under each character - summary (for a longer summary), Notes, and Detailed Info, where you can pick a trait then a description. I always prefer to have a place for images, but you can link them in notes or somewhere else. Not my favorite layout for characters, but better than just a blank document.

Plots: I really like this! You can make a Main, Secondary, or Minor plot. These can be titled, and you can add characters from your character lists. There's a spot for a description, then a result, as well as a one paragraph, one page, and full summary. Under the second tab for each plot is the 'resolution steps', where you can insert what beat it is on various plot structures such as Hero's Journey, then a summary for that. Really love the plots tab!

Under the world tab you can insert any number of items, rules, laws, etc. If you press the heart (I missed this at first), you can auto populate with a large amount of empty tabs for Fantasy Worldbuilding. These include Physical (such as flora, races, climate), Culture (education, food, customs, medicine), Magic Systems (rules, objects), Important Places, and Important Objects. I hope they'll be adding others! Under each of these you can add sub items, with names, descriptions, and other notes.

Outline is really good too! You can set the POV character, the status (To-Do, First Draft, Second Draft, Final), and label it 'Idea, Note, Chapter, Scene, Research' in case you've opened the tab for something other than writing proper. You can also choose a word count goal for each chapter and scene, and it will track how many words you have for each, as well as what percent you are to that goal. There's also a tic box to mark the chapter/scene complete.

Editor is where you'll actually write. You can open one chapter at a time, which will show each scene as a note card, or Outline, or you can view all the text depending on how you set it. You can give each scene a title, or leave it as 'New'. While I love everything else about Manuskript, I feel like the writer proper is the weakest part. I could not find a way to change the font type or size, or indent. And while some people prefer markdown, I'm not personally a fan.

So as a plotter, I'd rate Manuskript at 8/10. But the writer proper at 2/10. So overall it's a 6-7/10.

Weltraum Staub - Space Dust

>>Neon Rot sag uns wo du bist, denn da müssen wir hin, beeil dich, na los!<< >>Ich bin hier mit dir, aber eigentlich bin ich in einem Gasthof & wo ist dein Zwilling?<<

Neon Blau:>>Ich bin nicht mehr hier, aber eigentlich bin ich überall. Nicht wahr Schutzengel, Ellen?<<

Ellen:>>Mit nur einen einzigen Flügel.<<

>>Neon red tell us where you are, because that's where we have to go, hurry up, come on!<< >>I'm with you, but actually I'm in an inn & where is your twin?<<

Neon Blue:>>I'm not here anymore, but actually I'm everywhere. Isn't that a guardian angel, Ellen?<<

Neon Blue:>>I'm not here anymore, but actually I'm everywhere. Isn't that a guardian angel, Ellen?<<

Ellen:>>With only a single wing.<<

Mein Review zur neuen Folge

Schreibblick 38/24

An IJ6 habe ich ein wenig geschrieben. Es ist mühsam, aber es geht voran. Dann habe ich aus eigenem Antrieb eine Minutengeschichte geschrieben. Das war schön und ich finde sie auch nicht schlecht. Vielleicht wird das mit dem Schreiben jetzt wieder besser, auch wenn ich wieder Tage hatte, wo ich so gar keine Zeit zum Schreiben oder Überarbeiten hatte. Das sind die Tage, die mich am meisten nerven.…

Schreibblick 33/24

Beim Theaterstück habe ich in den letzten Tagen ein wenig geschwächelt. Nachdem mir etwas Gutes eingefallen ist, wusste ich nicht, wie ich danach weitermachen sollte. Irgendwann morgens fiel es mir ein und ich habe es schnell aufgeschrieben, damit ich es nicht vergesse und später verwenden kann. Bis auf diesen kleinen Hänger, geht die letzte Szene des ersten Aktes gut voran. Wann ich damit…

curse you @catatombi your ask is fucking me up I opened two pages of tumblr and my Manuskript document where I shoved what notes I did have of Depression Quest to answer it

ugh I want to find my sketchbooks for my old stuff! I also want to write my ideas not like type them up!! fml maybe that's why I'm still hanging on Courtship....

currently trying to find things I can convert written shit to text that work on SteamOS or I might just make an install of Windows

while I'm trying to answer this askboxxu I found a prototype to Leshy quest for Depression Quest (which made its way to Courtship), enjoy its unedited greatness or grossness because it looks like I wrote it when Depression Quest enjoyed more sunshine before Courtship took it away

The One Who Waits and the Lamb looked down at the bouquet of flowers that were thrown onto the ground. The Lamb looked back up at the old god and said "I bring them to you all the same," before walking away.

The One Who Waits continued to regard the camellias. Damned lamb. What was the point of that? He had no use for such useless, fragile things.

Then he remembered Leshy after he found out how much his brother favored the flower. Memories of making flower crowns and sticking red flowers onto their heads. His shrines surrounded in a sea of crimson. How he appreciated how their shade matched that of his crown. Baal, one camellia pinned to his cloak to remind them of the lands they would take back.

He picked up the flowers and turned to Leshy's crown. The first trophy. He tucked some into the top of the crown and made a wreath of the rest at the base of it. His fingers fumbled with disuse of such delicate handiwork for over a thousand years. At last his work was finished and he stepped back to inspect it.

Sloppy. Disrespectful to Leshy's memory.

Disrespectful?

The One Who Waits shook his head, long forgotten feelings swirling into his head. There was no need for such foolishness. All that meant nothing after their betrayal. To give in to such sentiments would be another burden alongside his mortal needs, another form of torture. The Lamb desired to break him in this gilded cage of theirs, and he would not let them.

He was better than that.

/

"Why camellias?" the Lamb asked one day as they pulled weeds out from their garden. Aym and Baal looked at each other, Baal unconsciously touching the one pinned to his cloak. Even now in their weakened form and surrounded by the flowers did he insist on wearing one. The One Who Waits frowned.

"It is none of your business to know. They simply are."

"There must be some reason," the Lamb responded. They leaned forward to look at them before reaching up to the crown and inspecting it. Its red eye stared right back. "Ahhh, I see. They're the same color!"

"It's not just that-" the old god started before cutting himself off. He had fallen for their trick.

"There's more, isn't there? Might as well tell me now lest I ask until you trip up again." The smile on that damned lamb's face unnerved him.

"..." He had no desire to be annoyed with this. It was not a serious question. He supposed he could give a simple answer and leave it at that.

"... I told Leshy that I liked the flower when he first showed me. A mistake. He ended up flooding the Darkwood with it to impress me." That was kind of true.

He told Leshy it was his favorite flower, the color of his crown, the color of mortal blood. A symbol of life itself, ironically for a god of death. He liked to think it became a symbol of death when mortals saw that shade of red pouring out of their bodies. His youngest sibling, of course, eager to impress, pulled him into the Darkwood one day to show his handiwork. Camellias everywhere.

He was ashamed to remember that he was ecstatic at the time.

The Lamb quickly jolted him out of his thoughts (a small mercy, he thought) by asking if he was even paying attention. He shrugged them off, mumbling "this conversation is over" and going back to his flowers.

/

"It may not seem it, little Lamb, but he is grateful for what you have done," Aym told them. Baal added, "He doesn't show it very much, obviously. [add something to transition here] But is death truly just a violent end? Is it not peaceful as well, like a mother caressing her babe? Our lord has known much violence these many years, he does not remember those quiet moments where a soul passes to the other side. For too long has he embraced hatred and pain. Even now he thinks that he is being punished, or that he must be punished. He must remember to embrace all aspects of death." "Or perhaps you have done it for him. You have overcome us, after all."
