Ok that is almost too adorable to bear. 

The tiny Sakura full face drop onto the ground AND the tiny Syaoran running desperately after her. 

TOO CUTE. ILLEGAL.

But also my thoughts have fallen into another urgent crevice. If NADESHIKO exists in this universe, then does SONOMI? Since they're cousins? Is there a Clow Kingdom Sonomi that they're hiding from me?

And more importantly, if that line of the family exists, IS THERE A CLOW KINGDOM TOMOYO? IT SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE??? CLOW KINGDOM TOMOYO WHEN?????

PLEASE I HAVE BEEN ON VERY GOOD BEHAVIOUR I DESERVE THIS

I - 

WHAT

AHHHHH WHAT?

WHAT

W H A T

W H A T

CLOW Isn’t

...

SAKURA’S DAD IS FUJITAKA?

HERE?

WAIT

WAIT

WAIT

… WHAT?

WHAT IS THIS?

IS THIS AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE?

DID SOMETHING GO WRONG?

IS THE CLOW KINGDOM THAT WE THE READERS KNOW NOT THE REAL CLOW KINGDOM?

OR DID SOMETHING HAPPEN IN THE TIMELINE THAT CHANGED EVENTS?

DID FUJITAKA ORIGINALLY EXIST BUT THEN LATER IT CHANGED TO CLOW?

OR DID SOMEONE WIPE SOME PEOPLE’S MEMORIES? OR

Gosh ok there’s lots of possibilities WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON

WHICH...

WHICH TIMELINE IS THIS

ARE WE IN THE CLOW KINGDOM???

IS THIS NOT THE SAME CLOW KINGDOM?????

OR IS IT ACTUALLY THE SAME CLOW KINGDOM BUT CLOW DID SOMETHING??????????????????

HOW IS THIS MAKING LESS AND LESS SENSE THE MORE WE GO ON

But on the plus side Fujitaka and Nadeshiko are happily together again in this universe with the same children, which is a win!

IT MAY BE THE ONLY WIN BUT I WILL TAKE IT!

Nurse gerard would work in those insane asylums from the 1800s and she’d actually be very caring of the patients

thinking about Steve having a dog and wondering what kind, and on the one hand: a eurohound sled-dog type who can go for superserum runs with him, but on the other hand… big beefy Steve having like a lil floofy pomeranian or a feisty dachshund or sth is just?? 😩👌 🤣

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

Although this looks very similar to the original QSMP announcement video, this video QSMP Global just posted has a different (glitched) ending. Is this meant to be a soft reboot...?

but do you truly hate him more than you hate yourself?

canto 5 keeps feeding me. I love me some good ambiguous dialogue where you can infer that ish is either reciprocating heath's negative feelings or admitting that she also dislikes herself. 10/10. good food. I'm so happy with how these two are being written and developed.

hey it's nanowrimo. i have tips bc i've done it about 34 times.

Don't edit. Ever. Stop it. If you just decide to start a new project half thru this one with all new characters, no problem. pick up and keep writing as if you'd already written the first half of that.

"but i spelled it wrong" whatever. "but the grammar" whatever. make it exist first. no time for sense. think like you're working on a typewriter. no backspace. only forward go.

Don't re-read further than a paragraph or two backwards. "did i mention the gun before?" listen - it doesn't matter. if you need there to be a gun there, the gun is there. put it back in once you finish the book.

"i forgot the specifics of X thing i already wrote" whatever. change it, make a note/comment to figure it out later, and just write what makes sense for the moment. "no raquel it's legit the characters name and origin" idc that character is now reborn as Claudius from Elsewhere. it's fine.

only you see your mistakes. nobody else knows. one of the ways writing and dance overlap - only you know the choreography. nobody else will know if you miss a step, so just keep dancing and pretend you meant to do it like that.

it's an illusion that you need to write linearly - from point A to point B to point C. Nah; that's just timeline propaganda. I've written a LOT of books out of order and just reordered them once i've finished. if you have a scene you'd LOVE to write but can't get there yet because of plot, just fuckin write the scene. I've always found its easier to establish "point F" "point J" and "Point A" and then wiggle my way between those scenes.

write what you WANT to write. 230 pages of smut? of well-researched discussion on bread? whatever. the point is to strengthen muscles however you can.

if you miss a day, a week, whatever. not the end of the world. we all have dry days. also time is a myth so u can do this challenge whenever u want.

as soon as you try to write for a specific audience, you kill your voice. you are writing for yourself. stop thinking about how people will take ur book. it don't matter. what matter is u, enjoying writing. i luv u.

play to your strengths. i have characters talk so much because i don't know how to write a plot if it kills me but i'm really good at dialogue so.

i love a flight of fancy. write a poem in there. shift tactics and write in code. keep it fun for yourself.

see what happens if you shift something major about ur main characters - gender, wealth, superpowers. or if you change point-of-view. or if you kill everyone in a big explosion. do NOT edit anything before this or after it. often these little weird one-off exercises teach me what interests me about what i'm working on. it is never what i thought. plus it is a fun way to add like 1k words.

stretch.

it's for fun and for practice. stop doing that project if it's giving you anxiety. once my nano was literally 50k words of half-started stories. just things i tried and tried and tried and wasn't able to flesh out. oops. but i am now 50k words of a better writer.

add dragons?

read books/listen to books on tape/etc. people often make the mistake of "buckling down" to just write. you need inspiration. you need to like. fill up on words. you need to remember how it feels to lose yourself in a story.

i don't have the time or space to really talk about this in this post but a lot of creative people turn to drugs/alcohol because it can help you be more creative. this is harmful, and walking a blade that only cuts deep. if you notice you and your loved ones are turning more to substances, please know i love you and i hope you are able to get help soon. i feel like this almost never gets mentioned because it's kind of a hazy underbelly to art. you are always more important than the work.

on that note. drink your fukin. water.

don't talk about a story until you've finished it. once you tell the story, it exists already, and isn't about discovery. i usually have a very canned "haha we'll see" response.

grapes :) tasty snack.

i love you be free.

no no this is ACTUALLY so fucking embarrassing for him no wonder he was an absolute bitch in rome

[mymarifae]

hsr's a great game it's like "hey here's this guy who's a cyborg cowboy of all things isn't that fun. look at how wild and flamboyant and entertaining he is! an automatic censor was installed into his universal translator when he got his rockin robot bod so he can't swear anymore and this is especially funny in the cn and jp text of the game because his swears are replaced with things like sweetie, baby, and cutie."

"also his entire homeland was wiped out by the intergalactic capitalistic monolith that's been cruelly siphoning valuable resources from countless planets with little to absolutely no regard for the residents. they spared nothing once their boss gave them the go ahead to use military force. not even his baby daughter, who had just barely learned how to walk."

"he never got the chance to erect a grave for her. or the other loved ones he lost."
