#and that's a wrap people!#i'll probably read the novel at some point but i've finished the series#and i liked it a lot like so much more than i thought i would i may even dare to say it's a new favorite of mine#i just liked it a lot#the characters the dynamics the simplicity of it all but also the lore that was wild#there were some unanswered questions but there always seems to be and i do feel that with the messaging we're going for of humanity#having infinite potential it fits to leave some things open though i would have liked to see all three riders together out of suit one#last time just bc i think it'd be nice to see but overall i'm very fond of it <3#kr agito lb#kr lb#umbrella.thoughts#umbrella.posts

okay but what if the only reason rin and sae are (forced against their will) to be (somewhat) civil with each other in their adult years is because their gfs are ride or die besties that would rather leave their (petty) asses than compromise their friendship

one of my toxic traits is that i can't stand writers as a class of people WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW ONES ok some of them are also the loves of my life but. they're crucially a minority so apart from those they're all SO annoying to me. and the fact that i'm also one doesn't help. anyway if you're a writer and i don't know you personally you should die
#i should maybe leave that one server i'm in it's not helping the hater tendencies#bc it's full of that one specific type. of people who write only because it's seen as the easiest way of doing it#which on a purely resources point is not exactly wrong and in a vacuum i always support getting your story out there in any way you can BUT#the result is that they genuinely don't care about writing as an artform. no consideration for prose no sense of style not even TRYING#to do something more than a glorified script in the format of a novel. and you can say 'oh you're being mean maybe they're just new to that#but it shows in the way they talk about other stuff too. completely ignoring the potential of the form. the reality of 'words on a page'#it's always just shit like 'is this villain's redemption arc ''''good'''' 🤔🤔🤔' or whatever. i hate you. i'll kill you.#that being said the prose warriorpoets who write only the most boring ass stories about men cheating on their wives are just as bad BUT#i don't meet a lot of those god bless.#anyway. i hate all of you and your fuckass medfan novels so so so so much i hope we all die in a fire for the sin of bad art#.parakeet

Escape the Pizzaplex (New FNAF book)
So recently, a new listing on Bookmanager came up for a new FNAF: Interactive Novel book, the third (technically fourth) entry in the series.
This one is called "Escape the Pizzaplex", and the synopsis includes Cassie being trapped inside of the Pizzaplex and needing to escape.
Does anyone else think this is maybe a bit strange? Cassie doesn't seem to fear the animatronics at all in RUIN, but she also has no qualms with running into an abandoned Pizzaplex to save her friend, so I suppose maybe she isn't all that unfamiliar with the Pizzaplex being dangerous. Besides- if she never gets caught, then why would she think they're trying to kill her? A very interesting book none-the-less.
This also oddly lines up with some of her thoughts about the daycare attendant AR items, and a cut line of Freddy talking about "lock-ins". (If your curious, it's apparently where they would have a sleepover in the Pizzaplex, while all the doors are locked. They had to be cancelled due to legal issues, apparently.)
#fnaf#fnaf news#five nights at freddy's#interactive novel#cassie#security breach#security breach ruin#fnaf security breach#escape the pizzaplex#tales from the pizzaplex#im putting tales here because its kinda in the same vain#and also i like tales smiley face#cassie ruin#vanessa afton#potentially might be in this one#escape the pizzaplex interactive novel#fnaf ruin#fnaf sb#fnaf sb ruin

Yuri's dialogue (JP) is so fascinating to study, like... the repetitive use of certain words/phrases that others use sparingly but he uses constantly. the way it feels like his vocabulary is more expansive than what he uses, but he defaults to a "comfort" level of speech. the way it mixes in with his sort of "street talk" words and the sheer level of informality. the way his "street talk" phrasing is contrasted by the tone of his voice (on that note, people I know who also know JP are also very endeared by these aspects of him so I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME!!!).
'cause the thing is, he uses phrases that yeah, other people do use, but he uses a handful over and over and over (contrast to other characters' sparing use of repetition). it's actually... really refreshing? it sounds more relatable and less "video game/anime/JRPG/RPG" writing or something, idk. like closer to how a real person would speak.
I do my best in my translations not to make things sound too stiff across the board, but Yuri makes it so easy. it's why I'm so interested in translating all his lines in Vesperia, like... the actual, original tone for him with his original wording because it's smth Eng only players don't get to experience ('cause even if you listen with JP audio, if you don't know the language, ofc you're gonna miss out on context. it's nobody's fault for not knowing, just... they unfortunately miss out). the thing is, there are a lot of times when the lines in and of themselves are not contextually incorrect in the English ver (usually the situation for smaller scenes, because they altered the text outright for more important stuff which was the stuff that originally set me off, but there were also plenty of cases of just vocal tone shifting with the correct context that still gave off the wrong impression), but Yuri's tone is shifted away from the original in Eng even though it's completely and perfectly translatable.
I am by no means about to translate the entire game because let's face it, I really don't care that much for Vesperia on the whole. I'm kinda stuck with it because Yuri's there lo and behold I actually am WAY more engaged in his stories in Rays, Link and Asteria because it's an amazing character put into circumstances where he actually gets to shine and feels more alive, which Vesperia did not provide nearly as well with its very disjointed story. also, Tales gachas have banger stories that are arguably better than the mainline games, and they regularly make Yuri a very central character to the gachas. Crestoria was also about to do it until they pulled the plug on that game and I'm pretty confident something interesting has been lost to the world. also I just generally don't have the energy or motivation to do that, so... I'll only be focusing on Yuri's lines, especially because his stuff is where the bulk of the messing around was. he's just insanely fun to translate for and I love burying myself head first into his speech.
will I actually finish this project? dunno. will I get around to posting it? whatever I get done (so all of it if I complete it), and if I decide to call it quits then I'll post what I have at the time I decide that. will it take a long time? probably, but I can always mention stuff along the way...
#GTF Vesperia Things#...definitely making a new Yuri specific tag at this point#also the more I comb the script the more I properly notice all the uh... very awkward loc changes in smaller sentences in smaller scenes#like things that change the understanding of a sentence. or in Yuri's case just... the usual annoying personality shifting#noticing lots more stuff than when I did those big posts bc I was less focused on the tiny stuff/not side by side comparing#like a lot of this stuff is plot irrelevant and I knew it was littered around but I'm just getting#a bit more of a proper feel for it and how often it's there while studying Yuri's speech under a microscope bc I like observing him fkjhsjg#the fact that they're extremely largely consistent in tampering with Yuri's verbal (not just vocal) tone still has me LIKE.#but I'm fighting to ignore it so I can study my precious boy for reasons unknown beyond hyperfixation#also with Link I was actually mad at first bc they totally dropped the ball on Yuri's repetitive speech in arc 1. like it just wasn't there#there were plenty of times I noticed that normally he'd be SAYING those phrases but it just didn't happen where it should've#(like ''he'd def have said that here but it's not here'') Rays' main writer was not Vesperia's and she STILL got him down PERFECTLY#frankly I'd argue Rays' writing of Yuri is more correctly Yuri than Vesperia Yuri is which is oddly hilarious LOL#but mainly more that arc 2 Yuri is fucking WONKY sometimes but god knows most of my friends who know JP don't like that writer for#various reasons. somehow he pulled out that banger of a novel but arc 2 forget it. but yeah Rays just... really encapsulated YURI himself#the dialogue for him is spot on. not that Link and Asteria flunked with him bc they didn't#it's just that I think Rays and Miyajima gave the best quality of him bc the circumstances let him be more expressive#that said back to Link arc 2 did actually fix the speech issue so I don't know if they had different writers between arcs or just#realized they forgot to include those points of his character in arc 1 bc I know it wasn't the Link loc's fault#bc Yuri had full JP audio and I could hear that they just didn't have those things#but LORD the ACTUAL RELIEF that flooded me when arc 2 brought that shit back LMAOOOO#but yeah as far as Yuri goes he's absolutely fascinating and unique and he shines so bright in the gachas#it makes me really really sad that his home game is one I don't have much interest in#and that it's one that a lot of ppl feel the writing was wonky for (bc it was)#but I'm eternally grateful the gachas gave him opportunities to really shine as a character in great settings#bc it's not that he doesn't shine in Vesp itself. it's that the circumstances don't rly... allow him to be like PROPERLY unrestrained ig?#idk it's hard to explain. just. he was more. WHOOSH. I guess. in the gachas. yeah. like that. or smth. :')#sorta like. amazing character but not the best circumstances for him to show his true potential which I think he does in the gachas#bc the gachas have such great stories and scenarios and he's put into them#ANYWAY TL;DR YURI'S SPEECH IS FASCINATING AND I LOVE HIM

Ultimate goal for 2024 - finish script writing and, if we're lucky, begin actual game developing starting Chapter 1.
I think I managed to get a lot of stuff done this year. Almost half the script (in its first draft), designs for most of the characters, some of the music themes, general art direction and a whole demo game with animations and stuff. Not to mention all the additional artwork I made for own fun. Hopefully, I can get done just as much stuff next year, if not more!
I don't have a huge ass gift as a thank-you for sticking around, but I'm setting up new blog theme that should fit the above mentioned art direction more. Hope you'll like it!
#info post#also hoping our little interest club stays that way and doesn't break containment#kind of intimidated by the possibility of it growing huge somehow#it's a cute little niche au/visual novel thing with 100 notes on posts and 1k followers tops and i prefer it that way#is there anything you'd like to see more of in 2024? or potentially new type of content? feel free to share

it’s a shame that wc is allergic to doing anything about significant characters being related because the potential of brightheart, cloudtail, and ferncloud all being grandparents to dovewing and ivypool... brightheart especially. do you think brightheart looks at ivypool sometimes with her shredded ears and scarred body and the haunted look in her eyes and sees herself.
#i rambled abt this on discord but augh the potential....#also new graphic novel shoots this down but uhhhhhh idc im ignoring it#but cloudtail being a confidant to dovewing... maybe even encouraging her to ignore starclan and become a kittypet#ferncloud would also just be so sweet because birchfall's the only survivor of her second litter#and shes canonically protective of him because of that and i think she'd have doted on his kids so hard#ive heard passing theories about dovewing becoming a permanent queen and tbh thatd honestly be sweet#bc thats also what her grandma did#also skimmed the wiki and apparently birchfall was insistent on sleeping in the nursery with whitewing when she was pregnant#and ik its like. bare minimum. but thats cute#i like to think he and ferncloud both doted on her and the kits so much ferncloud absolutely would have spoiled them#also cloudtail being an atheist but his granddaughters are haunted by cat heaven and cat hell respectively#he sees both of them get tormented over their respective conflicts and is like. ''i dont believe in starclan.... But.''#also tbh i think brightheart and ivypool should look similar... like they share the same pelt pattern except ivy is gray#while dove looks more like cloudtail in a lot of ways#echoed voice

i actually kinda like the ending... cause honestly in the end wei ying got burned way too much by the cultivation world and was through with it, and as much as lan zhan is on wei ying's side, he cant leave the sects unchecked, especially with the way they easily turned on wei ying, and then jin guangyao too without thinking of evidence and being suspicious of the scenario
essentially wei ying deserves to be free from the judgement and the societal expectations (not using a sword, crafty tricks, etc), while lan zhan is choosing to stay and keep them in check so that history doesnt happen again
#txt#watching untamed#this is almost a reverse of lan zhan's parents actually#instead of locking wwx up and submitting to the judgement/punishment of the clans they instead fight back 'for justice'#also ive read fic where the reason lan zhan's mother killed the elder was cause of attempted rape#but personally i think the elder was ragging on about either her not accepting 'a better place' or for 'leading a great man on'#and she snapped and killed him#i wish there was more 'nie huaisang being cold-blooded' moments instead of that hinted stuff#mmmmight read the novel or manhua cause i feel like theres a lot of inbetween stuff im missing#not like i skipped ep9-32 hahahaaaa#also love lan zhan's new fit putting down the all white and putting some blue on#finally moving on from mourning his mom and also wei ying#i feel like wen ning got objectified alot considering he can be controlled... like i like that in the end hes choosing to walk his own path#but they didnt do anything to really combat the objectification impression until like the very end#also they basically. killed off all the women.#not unexpected but. hghsjjsjskguuuuu#i like how they really emphasized the 'wwx using resentful energy is bad for his health' chronic pain real#i also like that prostetics were a thing cause alot of characters are just disabled wo anything#but also they were all villains besides wwx of we count no golden core as disability so idk#or his extremely roller coastering mental health.#honestly jiang cheng and wei ying brotherly tragedy#i am also xue yang and meng yao sympathetic. they are psychopaths but there was the potential for them to be 'good'#or. not horrifically abusive/manipulative with their close people#meng yao liker. jing guangyao hater

hmmm getting in my head a little bit about some issues i'm already seeing in my first draft that ik i'll need to confront in my second draft. but i genuinely just have to be like *sprays my overcritical mind w a spray bottle* no!!!!! let me finish the first draft first!!!!!!
#she bork#idk i think i'm getting ahead of myself bc again. work that is this consistent and like structurally solid is new and scary to me bc like#the greater the potential for a payoff the greater the potential for a fumble. the stakes are higher. while never being able to finish#anything was torturous in its own way it was easy in the sense that i never had to confront the idea of like 'what if i finish it and polish#the fuck out of it to the absolute furthest extent of my experience and ability . .. and it's still not good enough.' it was always just#like 'aw shucks! i've run out of steam once again. if only i could see something through to the end i could write the next great american#novel i just know it :/ ah well. try again next week!' but now nothing is in my way whatsoever so i'm like aw fuck that is so scary like if#nothing comes of this project it will be My Fault. also sorry this is all i have spoken about on here for like a month but i'm STILL not#done yapping about it and you all are my captive audience and WILL be forced to listen to each and every thought i have about this wip.#sorry but too bad#anyway once again offering that if anyone is curious about this wip i am open to questions or discussion. one thing about me (which i'm sure#y'all know by now) is that i LOVE. to yap#novel 2024

I feel like every writer/producer/etc in charge of every major franchise in the world is infested with brain worms that do nothing but sit in their minds all day whispering "kill off all of the fan-favorite characters! retroactively make that happy ending miserable!! destroy the expanded universe to make way for our controversial sequels!!! do itttttttttt"
#I just found out how the Star Trek novel verse apparently ends lol#the writers decided to erase the timeline from existence I guess?#they didn't just abandon it the way the Star Wars people abandoned their EU novel verse#the Star Trek people made the conscious decision to put out a book series that canonically erases the novel verse from existence#and kills off every character within it#so the only timeline left is the one that aligns with the new TV shows#which is very frustrating to me even though I have never read a Star Trek novel in my life#this is a franchise with so many alternate timelines and universes that you can easily have multiple continuities running at the same time#idk it just makes me sad for all of the authors and fans who must've cared about the book continuity#like abandoning it is one thing but canonically destroying it strikes me as a very weird and potentially fan-alienating choice#all so some loser can be like SORRY YOUR BOOKS ARE CANCELLED. ANYWAY WATCH PICARD ON PARAMOUNT PLUS
