Outline I like (especially for shorter works)

Note: I learned this in film class (which is why it says "defines the movie" at the top, but I've also had success using it for non-film writing. It's basically a three-act structure, but I find for non-novels it's easier to work with than Save The Cat, for example.

Another note: Unraveling The Map is rarely a whole scene in and of itself in my personal experience - I usually use it to create an opening image that leads into the Launch Point, which I make the first scene

Unraveling The Map - Do you have an opening scene that defines the movie?

The Launch Point - Where are we, and who are we with?

The First Leg - What’s a normal day look like in this world?

Change Course - What sets our characters off on their journey from normalcy?

The Foot of the Mountain - Okay, we’re going on this journey together. (choosing the direction for solving the problem)

Climbing The Side - It starts hard, but you get used to the problems as you go.

Through The Cave - Do you have a B story? Set that story off on its own now too.

Reassess the Problem - You’re at the middle. Is there another way to get it done?

Try and Fail - Things begin to fall apart, can they handle it?

The Fall - The worst thing happens, something so bad you don’t think you can get up.

The Hidden Clue - What do your characters discover about themselves/the problem that they never saw before?

Race To the Finish - They’re up and running no matter what

The Treasure Chest - Did they get what they came for?

Where We Go From Here - Show us the world in a new light, hint what’s next.

#marcille donato #falin touden #farcille #dungeon meshi #my art #Tumblr caved my head in as I tried posting this #As I slowly work through more ship pieces it's becoming very clear to me how #dearly I hold their dynamic in particular... Or at least how I hc them #I want to make more silly pieces though. Soon

ok now im kinda curious

#sometimes you get halfway through making a poll when you realize that you dont actually know a lot of social media sites #im sorry for not knowing things but in my defense i spend all my time on here so i dont know anything about the outside world #im like those guys in the cave and tumblr posts are the shadows

i like etho as a mcyt figure because he is like if a computer engineer could be a caveman. like imagine if the guy who invented the watch and the guy who invented the wheel were the same guy. imagine if you were talking to him and he was like oh yeah i also invented the hand axe. and google

#hes like if a grandpa were both a programmer and a luddite #hes like a paleolithic mech engineer #hes like if someone made the internet out of sticks and rocks #hes like if you could talk to a big rock and its like yeah i remember before anything was ever hungry bc life wasnt invented yet.#and also i invented algebra #hes like a guy someone found in a cave hungry and covered in dirt and then hes like wait before you bring me back to society #look at what i made while i was stuck in this cave. and its technology sufficiently sophisticated as to seem like magic. made out of mud #fueled by the motion of earth through space #like you think maybe i should leave him in the cave and let him cook #hed benefit from being around people… but also hes onto something. in that cave

Making up

#artists on tumblr #sketch #our flag means death #ofmd #gentlebeard #haven’t had time for ANYthing lately #MAXIMUM cheesy romcom tropes…fighting in a storm then the sun breaking through when making up…an entire wheel of cheese is what I’m saying #saw bethell’s cave is a possible s2 filming location? anyway my apologies to the landscape #it’s so hard to find good pictures of that cave or rather it looks very different in every pic it seems #me making more fanart that’s silhouettes in a landscape: it ain’t much but it’s honest work

shadowheart? i'm not that into her, she's fine or whatever, i mean—*trips* *dozens of save files before every shadowheart conversation spill from pockets* fuck, those aren't mine i swear, i'm holding them for a friend, i—*slips on pile of save files* *dozens more save files from the new game i started as a selûne cleric for Extra Drama™ fall out as i fall to my knees, desperately trying to pick them up* i can explain, hang on LISTEN

#baldur's gate 3 #shadowheart #yes #yes i did bail on my game half way through act 3 #so i could switch to a selûne cleric instead of talos #i just got to the owlbear cave with the selûne shrine and it's already worth it #shadowheart u wanna kiss a selûnite so bad you look stupid #i'll romance lae'zel at some point but right now #she's god's favorite princess what else can i do

....I just wanted to draw gators :T at this point these 2 are more 'a representation of my last 2 brain cells' then they are actual characters 😅

#im living vicariously through the cartoon guys #because i want to A. pick up gator (strong man style)#and B. ..pick up gator (hug)#ok but so i recently found out an area where i take stupid little walks for my stupid little mental health #has! GATORS!! (potentially. theres signs.)#and this is great cause seeing gators would def heal me as a person #but ok so when i look for hiking places i always look north cause the terrains more hilly #but now im lookin south more cause turns out i AM in fact far enough south to see gators!!#and yeah looks like theres a handful of nature reserves w hiking trails the same distance away as the little mountain trails i go to #its flatter and the trails are less extensive so ill hafta see if i think its worth it #but then too theres a really big black water swamp that.. further away then i wanna drive..#but also i drove 5 hrs once just to go to mammoth cave as a day trip so.. we'll see..#my friend says he wont go w me tho :T he'll just report me missing #this has been a tag ramble about my sudden outset intrest in seeing a gator #my bullshit #lol barely but still #also- i told myself not to over do it drawin the scales or coloring it #and as you can see i dont listen to myself ever #lol they look outta place but idc i got to draw 2 of my favorite characters and also ALLIGATORS :U #living the dream rn

It’s so hard being a single father with no kids who keeps going into cursed caves…..

Welcome back to Father Kilter Friday/Pigeon Paturday where we hfhgdhgdggdgshhshs..,,,, fhghdh…, hhhhhhh,,,,,,,

They’re fine they’re fine. Went for a swim in corrosive mystery goo and got briefly possessed. And it is about to get worse. But it’s fine.

#Tfw one of you gets stuck at the bottom of a 1919 Molasses Flood reenactment except the molasses is alive and eating you #and the other one of you gets bodily possessed by the god of plague #and when you finally escape (only managed for and through each other) you run until you collapse and then just hold each other desperately #having a normal one over here #DoR #dead on revival #father kilter #pigeon #my art #art: pigeon #haha cool.#the past several sessions have been DOOZIES! like the past 4 consecutive ones just insane. except for Buggy Wonderland: Isopod Heaven Now #which was a fun side thing lmao #ttrpg #ironsworn #revenant #tiefling #it immediately got immensely worse after this also. never before have they both come so close to dying. STOP #GOING INTO CAVES! this is an anti cave delving psa #art: DoR

one silver lining to the hbomberguy plagiarism video is that because the creators he exposed got successful by stealing from genuinely very talented writers and filmmakers, i kept having to pause the video to google things he mentioned that made me go, “ooh, i’d love to read/watch that!”

#i’m so interested in the final girl support group and the mental floss cave article #and i’m inspired to finally watch the celluloid closet and rebel without a cause #and i know the vaccine documentary will infuriate me but it’s a good reference to keep in my back pocket #hbomberguy #i have never watched this man’s videos in my life but i sat through all four hours fucking riveted

decided to quickly redraw/draw over an old (and I mean OLD) GLaDOS drawing. I liked the idea I was going for! It's GLaDOS standing over Cave Johnson's corpse lol. Original drawing under the cut (:
