🖤 Owl Pellet Unboxing?🐭 🖤

[ninamodaffari]

so my little sister left her (marimo) balls with me before sh moved away and today asked for me to give an update on how they were doing. When I showed her a picture and asked if they looked okay to her she replied, 'they look like the food rations that the ninjas eat in naruto' and I don't know what that means but I'm laughing

This blog no longer updates!

Hello new followers! I see you appear in my notifs from time to time, and I am not sure if you are aware that this is a dead blog.

This blog remains open for archival purposes and will stay open for as long as WoW remains online as a game, but it is very doubtful I will ever play again. Feel free to follow if that's just how you bookmark blogs, but even with Kotick's departure, I cannot see myself returning. I do thank you for all the support and love, and I hope people continue to use this blog for ideas as long as there's an RP community to need it.

Writing Questions Tag

@mariahwritesstuff !! Thanks for the tag!! I'm so sorry it took so long to reply x'D This was a lot of fun to write, so seriously thank you so much!!

Tagging: @commsofficerdougeiffel @f-identity @bnuuywol @uldahstreetrat @abalonetea @owlpellet @faelanvance

How it works: Answer 10 Questions (if you like)

1. What is your absolute all-time favorite ideas you’ve ever had?

This is a hard question to answer.... I have this idea that I haven't put into story form yet that is a hero who basically falls in love with the world itself. It's based on the idea (which came to me from Ender's Game) that understanding and loving are inextricably related. So basically, this person comes to know everything about the world through diligent work and forgetting to grow old and die; and no one's ever shown that much love for the world before, so the world comes to love this person back. I don't know where the idea goes from there, it just exists in this state in my mind. There's something romantic in a way I can't really explain yet, its such a stable and true love and I don't know how to love the world this way yet, so I think it's beyond me to write this story right now. But in the future I'm going to try.

2. Is there a question you’ve been asked in the past that really stands out to you, and you still think about sometimes?

I think I come back to ideas of fate and self determination a lot. I was raised Catholic, and that mythos still holds a lot of power over my "faith" or "expectations" (?) of the unknown and unknowable parts of Reality. And I come back to the question of whether we are fated or self-determined in the universe. And honestly, I've started to develop the idea that we have to have been built for free choice, why else would some creator make such a perfect chaos machine than the trillions of individual humans making their individual decisions based on their individual experiences and their individual knowledge in that moment. I don't know what its for or why a creator would need that much chaos; but if we were supposed to follow a set path, then we wouldn't be able to make mistakes. And that simply isn't the case.

3. What is your favourite part of being a writer? What parts could you take or leave?

I've been rediscovering my love of putting words in order on a page, and its honestly that experience that I love. Feeling the chills, the fear, the stress - reviving, reliving things I've felt through words that incite the same energy on my skin as I felt in those specific moments. Being able to make another person feel those thing, that's the only way I feel like I can truly be understood. The hardest part I think is the energy it takes. I suspect I have aphantasia in some degree, so it's incredibly hard to figure out what things I've never seen - or even things I just haven't seen recently - look like; and it takes a lot of energy to puzzle through it. I sometimes have to rewrite a situation or scene four or five times to being to figure out what I want it to be like. I know the emotions and the sensations, because that's how I experience the world - and specifically my memory/imagination - for the most part; but I don't think that translates alone. I worry about being understood, and I know I have a problem leaving out bits I know in my head when I'm having a conversation; so I know I have communication issues and it's a very difficult balancing act to figure out how much description is too much or too little. But then again JRRT gave us the entire care and feeding of Hobbits so maybe I'm worrying over nothing.

4. What is your greatest motivation to write/create?

Feelings! I daydream a lot, like a lot a lot. I always have, it's not like gotten in the way of my life or anything; but any moment I don't have to be thinking about something in the real world, I'm thinking about something in a make believe world, and those daydreams are always some experiment in complex emotions. I like drama and angst and sadness as long as it isn't mine. But I can put characters through it, and while they are learning the personal strength to cope, I can also learn from them. It's kind of a vent and a safe place to figure out how to interact in the world; but all those stories are important to me, and I want them to live on when I'm gone. I have to put them into the world, or those people and places that were so important to me becoming who I am will just be gone; but it's not just that! If I learned from them, others could too. How can I just horde them to myself when they could be out in the world helping someone else. And I know it would work, because I the books I read as a kid were my lifeline to understanding the world and who I wanted to be. I was a really awkward and neurodivergent kid, but Percy Jackson showed me how to shake hands with pain and fear to do what I knew was right, even if people disagreed. And I'm not too embarrassed to say that. Percy also showed me there were strengths in neurodivergence, even if there were steep downsides too. We stand on the shoulders of giants, but if we're going to keep elevating the next generation, we have to actually share the things that made us learn easier and earlier.

5. What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever read or been given as a writer?

I'm not sure I have one. I've heard a lot of advice, and I think most "correct" are "write for yourself first" and "write what you know"; but I think they are deeply mistranslated in most uses. "Write for yourself" is literally "write so that you enjoy it" - you can write anything, but how good it is relies on how into it you were when you wrote it. I can write an essay on anything, but the best things I've ever written were the completely unhinged reports or the stories that were completely self indulgent. You don't have enough time to write for everyone else in the world - there's like 3 billion people! BUT, there's like 3 billion people, at least some of them with agree with you on what's good and interesting. "Write what you know" isn't so much topics, like I could write about electrical engineering, but I don't want to write a progat who is an electrical engineer. Instead, look at your own emotional experiences. Extract them from their context, and think about how the feelings felt, and how they developed. My current MC is the embodiment of my "Oldest Daughter" disease. He's not an oldest daughter, but he does have a lot of silent expectations that he feels like he's not living up to. He feels trapped in his life like I did, but I never had an alien parasite machine build a new organ system in my body. Different situation, same emotions. And since I know how I "fixed myself" (or at least got better), I kinda know what sort of things need to happen to "fix" him.

6. What do you wish you knew when you were first starting out writing?

That I wasn't a better person for prioritizing work over the thing that made my soul sing. When I get too much in it, I still regret being so "good" in undergrad. I should have fucked off a whole lot more, it didn't deserve the devastating amount of me I gave it. I could have novels written by now, I could have people reading my ideas, liking my stuff, I could be- but it's not worth going down that road. I'm here now and I'm writing. And dear gods abound I am not giving that up for grades. Three little letters at the end of my name do not matter more than the dream that kept me alive when everything else was black.

7. What is your favorite story you’ve written to completion? Link it if you’d like and can!

I can't x') I've been chronically bad about finishing stories since getting into college. I was such a "good girl" such a "dutiful oldest daughter" I prioritized everything else over that one thing I truly loved for me. So actually, the first novel I've ever completed was NaNoWriMo last year and it is,,,, still in the notebook I wrote it in. Because... you know... hand-writing 50k words was a ... good idea. BUt I did it!!

8. What is your favorite out-of-the-box quote?

"You are the Stars, little one. Burn"

9. Which of your characters would you say has the most controversial mindset? Why do you say so, and how do you personally feel about their ideals?

I don't know any more. I have a lot of gay and queer characters and there's forums where they are controversial. Dahlia is kind of a menace in her own right, since she's immortal and doesn't really care about temporary pain. "Its easy to be brave when there's nothing on the line", she says. But Aivis is like,,, not a hero as much as you'd expect the "Star of Sages", meant to deliver knowledge and learning onto people who wish to improve their lives to be. They're indifferent to a lot of troubles people have, like they forgot to have compassion or refuse to, especially if they think waiting a few hundred years will let the society sort itself out, or otherwise not intervening will encourage a person to grow and become stronger/better. On the other side of that, if Aivis thinks a society is unsalvageable in its current state, they will 100% curse or otherwise usurp leadership using their divine power, near-endless archive of tools and information, and just straight up patience being immortal and unaging to force the society onto a path to a better place. They try to preserve free will, but "if they won't learn from the gentle way, then they have to learn from the school of hard knocks". THe problem is that Aivis only has their perspective, and as much as they are a semi-divine entity, they were born human with human flaws and human perspective. So Aivis can only encourage people to grow "like they did", and is not really as impartial as they attempt to be.

10. If you, when you first started writing, met you now, what would younger you think?

I don't think younger me would understand why I write gay and queer characters, and why that's not just okay but a good thing. I think younger me would probably be impressed with some of my turn of phrase, and the way a single sentence now carries more detail than entire paragraphs used to. I think younger me might be critical of some of my current weaknesses, and my fixation on Alice in Wonderland is nearly completely gone now so that might make her sad. But I think her heart would burn brightly to hear about what happened to the "5th Pantheon", and how the universe makes sense now and feels less like a video game leveling system and more like an organic mythos. I think she'd be excited to hear about the Void Goddess and the Starburst God, and how Dahlia has not just persisted through all the changes, but has become someone so important that many of these changes couldn't have gone on without her. I think especially, younger me would be proud that Dahlia was still so good, and still so the same, even though Dahlia's world and powers have definitely been refined over time. Younger me would be really proud of what she created, and the fact that Dahlia was the first thing we ever really finished. She'd be so happy with how the first Twilight City Mystery turned out.

@owlpellet speaks the truth

having a job is very weird bcos by and large your coworkers will be a variety of ages and you will not all be at the same stage of life. your coworker will be like, well I’m off home to spend time with my husband & child, what are you going to do with your evening? and you’re like, well, I plan on playing Rollercoaster Tycoon for as much as it as possible

[shithowdy]

I am tapping on your window demanding to know what you are putting that poor old man through this time (also your ask link still goes to owlpellet!)

OH HELL thank you for letting me know, my whole link sidebar is borked lmao

Oliver is having a bad time okay, I'm allergic to letting him have a good time for too long.

The very truncated version of his predicament is that two guys, one very injured with a head wound (Dallas) and the other a young psyker freshly escaped from A Facility and found by the former (Emil), broke into his home to get away from some Legionary pursuers. Because fucking with the Legion is a top 5 priority in his life, he agreed to escort them (not for free, of course) further toward the coast to a Followers base that he's familiar with for medical care.

They bonded pretty well, and the pair were upset when he left them behind-- Emil in particular, not yet realizing they have a way deeper connection than either of them know but regardless sensing that they shouldn't split up. He was right to feel that way for multiple reasons, because upon returning to his home, a Legion assassin ambushed Oliver after he'd gotten himself good and drunk. He awoke in Fort Blythe to his captor demanding Dallas' location-- Dallas, it turned out, was the long-since escaped son of a very high-ranking officer and he wants his embarrassment taken care of. Oliver was uncooperative, because he'd rather protect a stranger than help a bunch of Known Assholes.

The assassin, Frumentarius Lupus, made the mistake of sharing a bit of his own backstory as he tried to make Oliver talk. Oliver latched the fuck onto the fact that the Legion had obliterated his tribe and erased his identity and successfully radicalized him back into being "Vasco", his childhood name. At a crossroads, he decided he would help Oliver escape the very situation he put him in, but his Centurion superior caught whiff of it and as of right now in the RP, Oliver is being left to go feral in a cage to be used as an arena beast with his only "companion" and source of food the severed arm of Vasco, who he believes to be dead.

Eventually, Dallas and Emil are going to be sent back to find him at the request and hire of one of the doctors, a dear friend and the only person Oliver trusts. They'll find his home burned and his horse wandering loose, and so will begin the event that sees them become permanent companions after Emil manages to bring him back from mindlessness. Then and only then will my poor old man catch a (physical) break. Vasco's life is only going to get worse.
