Stamina can be an important element in our game. A fully customizable stamina system will allow us to make the game we’ve been envisioning!

One thing I love about Ronan - dare I say, I find incredibly refreshing - is that he's *not stupid.* And I mean that in any other series his character archetype would be designated as "the dumb one." Because he doesn't like school, well golly he must be dumb. But he's written as incredibly smart, in a way the others aren't.

I always appreciated that The Raven Cycle shows us Ronan IS intelligent. He's just not suited for the school system or traditional education - and that's perfectly okay. It's one of the few series I've seen that equally acknowledges intelligent people do not always perform well, or even enjoy, being in school. Because Ronan, when he cares about the topic, is intelligent as any of the others. He's the best in Latin and it's implied it's nearly effortless. (And solidifies my stance that Ronan is a bit of a perfectionist and when something is difficult for him he has a tendency to write it off - in academic spheres. But that's for another day.) His Latin is not perfect, but it's notably better than Adam or Gansey's. This is also part of Ronan's character that is later fleshed out, and expands him beyond his one dimensional character tropes.

So, this boils down to me being especially frustrated over his line about the Latin for "raven" being given to Gansey. Because even if they have their reasons - like us not having Gansey's inner monologue - I find this an odd choice because 1. Ronan is connected to Latin in a way that foreshadows his connection to Cabeswater, 2. RONAN IS INTELLIGENT and it's important we see that he's smarter than he projects, he likely hasn't been engaged in academia the way his brain needs to be (i remember a draft involving Ronan connecting with a teacher in elementary school, and this being significant for him), and finally, 3. Gansey is bad at Latin. Like. Explicitly so. Like. He admits to the reader he doesn't know or enjoy Latin all that much. And it might seem mundane or pointless but that's a detail about Gansey that further stresses the significance of having Ronan on their search. He doesn't know the Latin for raven, and this moment was meant to establish that Ronan is intelligent in ways Adam and Noah and Gansey are not. I'm worried Ronan is being written as the dumb comic relief, to be frank, and not having him as the resident Latin expert really alters his place in the group's dynamic.

(I'm not writing off the graphic novel but of all the changes this one baffles me THE MOST. It's not even a censorship issue its a rewriting of character dynamics and character depths that bleed into the rest of the plot.)

My little brother came into my room purely to cough JUST to cough i saw it i felt it i dont even have my contacts in so i cant even see his face when he walked in but he walked in with that smug little evil fucking look on his face like “hee hee time to do the thing” and he stood two steps in front of my open door and COUGHED and then stood there silently for comedic effect and i knew and i KNEW he was just gonna turn around and LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN so i did what i had to i said “nope. Nuh huh. Thats it, i have to kill you now” “wh- what” “come here, come on. Im going to kill you-“ “NO”

Loosely based on this

Nate dropped the books. Twenty-five books was a lot of books. He tried carrying them in stacks and one of the stacks caught the corner of the doorway. Most were fine, nary a layer of dust on the ground to disturb the wrapping, but two of the books slid into the shower area.

Nate hurried to pluck them up. He quickly peeled off the wrapping before the pages themselves could get wet. He found the spare roll leaning by Ted's desk, rewrapped the gifts, and stocked them on the shelves. He wondered if maybe Ted would have his own recommendation for Nate, since Nate had been the one to provide the run-down on all the players when Ted mentioned he wanted to get them books.

O'Brien. Proud, posh, spoke like an English lord. Irresponsible with money. Wasted public school education. Remarkable talent as a goalie squandered by low-effort as he languished with a mid-level team. He was a decent man, if a little conceited, and Nate hoped The Beautiful and the Damned served as a good wake-up call. Ted must think highly of his potential; he was one of only a handful who merited an age-appropriate selection.

Arrogant self-absorbed bully, convinced of his own talents. Refused to listen to the older, more experienced people who knew better. Bully. Antagonist in the way of the true heroes trying to eek out a win.

Jamie Tartt deserved Artemis Fowl.

hi!! thought i'd direct my ask here since it's writing related -> how did you set up the google sheets to set and track word goals?? i opened up a sheets but it's a bit intimidating ;;

i'm guessing you do Insert>function>??? one of those? but idk which

there are a lot of different ways!! some basics to know:

the main functions i may use here are =SUM, =AVERAGE, =COUNTIF then follow the formula outline

more frequently i stick = in the formula box then select cells (or tab you want then its cells) with my mouse (a quicker way than typing cell or tab names)

but you can also limit cells usage by editing formulas directly in the cell you want to see the = in (like, you can have a cell with "=2+2" or a cell with "=A1+A2" with the numbers in them. both cells will have the same total calculated by the = but the formula bar will look different). Data Managers™️ recommend keep everything visible in cells, but we aint publishing this so do what you want

i also use cell formatting as % or date or whatever for less formula writing (% for example, i otherwise gotta do whatever math is needed for calculating that when i can just do the basics then ask it to do the rest AND it adds a % sign for me)

now let me go from least to most complicated set-up at start:

1. Total at Bottom

i got this settup to track multiple people at once, but you can keep the record column as Day 1, Day 2, etc and change the name columns to be months. Formulas:

row 33 Total Written =SUM(B2:B32) (alter the letter and number depending on column and days in month)

row 34 Goal (month) [free write #]

row 35 Progress (%) =B33/B34 , aka =[Total Written cell/Goal (month cell] format as %

row 36 Days Planning =COUNTIF(B2:B32, "planning") (or whatever specific word you want)

you can also have a year total somewhere, which you can see examples of how to in the last method

2. Weekly Goal

there's more manual in this so far which makes it easier to setup, harder to keep up on. columns week, dates, and words written are write-in (the last which i may =#+#+# throughout), but formulas:

column c words to go =1400-D31, aka =[word count goal]-[relevant "words written" cell]. conditional formatting (which i may swap the colors):

column e success is a drop-down menu which i forget how to create every time... look up "how to create drop-down menu in [spreadsheet program of choice]". i manually select the success based on vibes: earned, endeavored, exceeded, and resting

3. Detailed Year

there are two tabs here with more initial setup but less to manage later. they read from each other (what the ! does in a formula). starting with the daily data tab:

column date is formatted for calendar

column type is formatted with a drop-down menu, which the thought is to later make a pivot table counting the frequency of write, edit, edit+write, and daydreaming.

column word count is a manual input with conditional formatting

then the year tracking tab:

the free write-in columns are month, daily goal, and reflection. the column success is a drop-down i manually select at end. everything else has formulas:

column c month goal =[daily goal cell]*[# days of that month]

column d % of month will look like =(COUNTIF('2024 count'!C246:C275, ">0"))/30 , aka (COUNTIF('[name of daily data tab]'![relevant cell range from tab],">0"))/[days of month] formatted as %

column e daily ave is =AVERAGE(('[name of daily data tab]'![relevant cell range])

column f total count is =SUM('[name of daily data tab]'![relevant cell range]

column g goal progress is =[total count cell]/[month goal cell] formatted as %

the total row at the bottom goes like

daily goal =AVERAGE([above cells])

month goal =SUM([above cells])

% of month =AVERAGE([above cells])

daily ave =AVERAGE([above cells])

total count =SUM([above cells])

goal progress =AVERAGE([above cells])

yea that's about it

Still a little time left to make some contacts during the October Street key sprint. I made two tonight and heard many more. 40 m was fishing in a barrel kind of territory. 20 m had some fun DX, but I didn’t have the time.
