Quick little message. Still haven't done the other things I said I'd do but I am near finished with the next chapter for anyone that's interested. Just had to get over the mental hurdle of talking about a touchy subject. But it should be done tomorrow depending on if I want to include my other ideas or cut it and use those as the start of the next chapter. Also found a song that perfectly encapsulates the final battle. So that will be the chapter title of the big showdown but that's still a while away.

What if Michael Afton was in FNAF into the pit,,

Okay, not any of the stuff I said I'd do (lets be honest, with how I procrastinate I'll probably never do it) but I think I finally thought of an ending to my alt post season 5 fic. Don't ask me where it came from but it literally hit me 5 minutes ago and.... Yeah. I think its the perfect summary of what I want the story to be. The most poignant end to the story I can think of. Believe it or not its also actually giving me ideas for a sequel story too but that's all I'll say about that.

Okay so who was going to tell me that Sega had created a brand new character that I fell in love with, cried over their credits song and cheered at the post-credit scene reveal, all over the course of a single game? And this character, plus collectibles in the game, made me empathise with the villain for the first time ever? Like I had heard Sonic frontiers was basically breath of the wild, and oh boy did those map unlocks sound familiar, but NOBODY mentioned the new character in it! I had to stumble across her in YouTube shorts which made me go "oh right, I meant to watch someone play that." (I have no time or money to do it myself) and have spent the past couple of days going through a 12 hour YouTube video on 2 time speed. Next is the dlc which is apparently another three hours (go sega) but I don't see that changing my mind.

Seriously, in a time where entertainment seems content to milk a franchise to death, ruin the characters people love, or just come up with ips that appeal to nobody because they're too perfect and bland, how is it that one of eggmans computer programs is so amazing?

I was worried good writing was dead but thankfully not at Sega.

Guys come on. I asked you to remind me Tomorrow it is!

Should probably figure out a better time to get on Tumblr... You know, to make the most out of the internet traffic or whatever.

Anyway, what I meant to write in my previous post, before I got sidetracked, was that I was tempted to pick up my dragon ball Z fic idea and start writing that out again. The issue with that is that it would just essentially be Z to super key fights and some conversations since I don't want to retell the ENTIRE series to add an OC that is basically just another Z warrior for the majority of it.... That being said I suppose I could just cover super since their presence doesn't really change anything that can't be covered through flashbacks and the introduction... You know what? Someone remind me to make a new pinned post. It's about time I gave the OC's in my head some love. Including a few lines of a bio shouldn't be too bad. It's only.... *Counts under breath* 8 or 9 depending on if I want to include one I've never talked about, and probably never will write anything for considering he was my biggest "just fix it" example without any overarching storyline.

If I do that then as time goes on I can just link to answered questions or posts for extra details.

You know, random post out of the blue. I am working on the next chapter (amazing I know) but after watching a YouTube video that made me angry, something has occured to me. Something that's probably not healthy.

Below the cut, I express my feelings in such a way that now requires me to make another post about what I actually meant to write here before I went of the rails.

tldr: A very long talk about how, while I know I can write for my enjoyment of it, my recent muse is anger and spite. Which seems to work.

I think anger and spite is my creativity fuel. I gave up on the episode recaps as Faybon because it was depressing me how far it strayed from the show I loved, the show that gave me hundreds of ideas for one offs and how to create a new character or kwami or akumas. Let me put it this way. I may have shared this before but there was a period of time where I went without a computer. During this time I wrote down any story ideas down in a little pocket notebook and wrote the chapters themselves down in what we call exercise books. Just A4 lined paper during that time I filled two of the spiral notebooks with ideas and reminders on each episode of the first three seasons of Miraculous and the New York and Shanghai movies. In the text books about half of what I first started writing was Miraculous related. I wrote about 8 full chapters that I had a friend read over for me who absolutely loved it. He also loved the Lego Friends "Girls on a mission" chapters I wrote, which also totalled about another 4 to 5 chapters and a small notebook.... What was I saying?

Oh right, my writing. Anyway. In my time without a computer tablet I wrote more for Harry Potter, Naruto, the above mentioned Miraculous and Lego Friends, and even started writing ideas for Dragon ball, the Addams family, TMNT, Kingdom Hearts, a brief bit of the Winx story I never started years ago, and even started 2 original stories. Suffice to say I'm more than capable of writing for my own pleasure.

However, the moment Miraculous season 5 started making me sad I lost all drive. It wasn't fun for me anymore. I was getting the most likes ever on my Faybon watches yet the lack of any feedback made it seem like people were just happy to see screenshots of their favourite show and couldn't care less about what story I was trying to tell through it. I then wavered on what I wanted to do. Roleplaying was flopping, I didn't want to interact with all the people posting about a show I no longer enjoyed because it didnt seem fair to them, and I wouldn't interact with blogs that weren't miraculous related because I didn't feel right trying to insert myself into their worlds as an original character only I knew the ins and outs of. I reblogged all manner of starters and even created my own custom ask setup to learn about Faybon but again, the interest was never there.

Then season 5 ended and I heard about it. I suppose I was still holding out some hope I'd get back into it which is why I hadn't completely purged who I followed (if I had the only miraculous blogs Id follow would be those like Buggachat, so only like 4 of them.) But once I did? Well you saw what happened. I snapped and, in the process of doing so, came up with two brand new story ideas. One an AU that I abandoned quickly because I kind of ruined it before it started with all my posts here about Faybon, and the fact that in an au the OC's stand out even more than normal, especially when interacting closely with the main cast. And then there's my post season 5 story that I've only just gotten back into by reminding myself why I started it. Because I'd envisioned Faybon in such a way that I knew how he'd react to what was happening and what had to happen. If I was upset about how things went? Well, as those who read my story are aware, Faybon was furious. And I needed to write that.

This feels a little vain or self important but I need to say it on the off chance my posts are being used by people to reinforce their own negativity about their creations.

There's a text wall under the cut but, in conclusion, before deciding that you don't like how negative your characters are feeling ask yourself this. Do they have a reason to be angry or sad or scared? Does it serve a purpose in the scene or in the story as a whole? If the answer is yes then let them. People have negative emotions, it's a part of life. Likewise fictional characters can also drown in negativity and that's okay. The bright side is you know how it ends, you know if the catharsis or the healing is worth it. And if not? Then you can think about changing it.

In the last post I made focused on or about my writing I made the claim that I couldn't keep writing because, whenever I put myself into the characters shoes, I got very angry and I didn't like that. In a post prior to that I realised that the ending I had in mind would either be disappointing or just a callback to my more angst driven writing when I was severely more depressed and wasn't coping as well as I am now. In short I wanted to write a nice story that made me feel good.

Well... I just read through my story again and it is not a happy story. It has happy moments but it's not happy. The parts of chapter 7 I had started are also sad. The ideas I had for future events are full of anger and violence. I re-read an unfinished chapter of that au story where Chat and Ladybug are enemies that I wrote a while ago before deciding it wouldn't work because, well, everyone who'd be reading it knows Faybon and could guess at certain things. However it wasn't the sad moments that stuck out to me, the pain Faybon was suffering or the drama. No what stuck out to me was a part of Faybon's backstory that I haven't brought up in anything else. Something that, I'm only just realising, is also influencing his actions in this story and, in fact, reminded me of a scene I was going to write had things played out differently, in fact I may still write it depending on how things unfold.

See, that nice happy feeling? I didn't get that from the story. I got it from the reviews from seeing someone invested in the story I was telling. I got it from my lovely miraculous senpai flightfoot whenever they praised me at how well I wrote something. The nice feelings weren't from the story itself but the interactions around it and because I'd finally posted it and felt accomplished for that.

But most of all what I remembered? Is why I started writing this fic. I said a long time ago that I created Talli (who I've decided to rename Talii in my own head to make it more kwami like) to act as Faybon's emotional support because without her he'd basically become the most frequent akuma after Mr pigeon. Season 5 would not have put him in a good place with the restraints I put on him as of the season 4 finale. And the way it ended? Well... The first few chapters show how he felt about that.

My point is in the cliffnotes at the top. But for those who read all this. I started this story to explore what impact and angry Faybon would have. So, I should not be put off by feeling anger, it just shows my story is hitting the points I want it to.

[temporalbystander]

Okay so scrolling through YouTube to keep my brain distracted from focusing on story points I'm never going to write (sorry any fans of my work I just find myself getting angry when trying to put myself in any character's shoes when deciding what should happen next. And I feel like any scene I do right is skipping forward a bit... There's an idea... I'll draft something later..)

Anyway. Sorry for getting distracted, so, as I was saying, was scrolling through YouTube and, probably because of some of the shorts or gacha life videos I've watched, I somehow stumbled across the first episode of season 6. So I thought "why not see how bad this animation is." And watched the first couple of minutes.

Guys, I cannot stress this enough, aside from whatever that nonsense writing was at the beginning? Screenshots do not do it justice. Like seriously, I saw Marinette and Alya talking and, while it's weird hearing the same voices come from such different looking faces, it is good. Like actual characters in a room good rather than 3d models in a dollhouse. Like Alya's hair? Amazing. I was so tempted to start watching again from just that minute.

So.... Yeah. If you've only seen images? Give it a chance. I.... May or may not do the same...

[temporalbystander]

Done with Miraculous but I gotta ask, if the ring (or whatever his amok is I never actually saw) controls Felix in Marinette's body (something I don't fully agree with because Adrian's mind is shown reeling in fear when he realises he can't disobey his father when sent to his room) you realise you've raised a terrifying possibility right selkie? Two of them in fact. One, Felix has his own amok so, in a body swap, Marinette is the one that has it meaning she needs to be very careful what she says and never speak about... Himself? In the third person or else Felix, in Marinette's body, will get the sudden urge to go over should she? (God this is confusing) Say "alright, you're Felix now... So... Come on Felix, figure it out."

But the even more terrifying prospect, if Felix's mind can be swapped, what happens if someone gets ahold of Duusuu and snaps him away? Would Felix stay trapped or would Marinette collapse onto a vegetable?

I want a felix/marinette body swap

So random thought just hit me. Midna from Twilight Princess is an anagram of Admin. Sure it's a coincidence and her name is supposed to be a reference to midnight which is also connected to the twili, aka twilight, which also foreshadows her role as queen as midnight is like the ultimate shadow. However my mind then made the connection from Midna/Admin to the companion everyone calls a robot Fi, some even making a Wi-Fi joke with her. And that got me thinking, Midna tells you what to do, she talks down on you a lot, rides around while you do all the work like an admin. But... More than that, you have to go around upgrading her powers, she allows you to operate in places you normally couldn't, allows you to cut and paste pieces of the world and allows you to teleport. She's basically giving you admin powers with the game being the operating system!

But then I really went crazy. Now everyone has already made the connection between Fi and ai (especially since she has a literal search mode using statistics) but, as much as I loved her, people found her annoying. Now who else did I like but others found annoying? Navi. Now not only is her name a reference to navigation (like oh, I don't know, a sat nav.) but why do people dislike her? Because she pops up multiple times, doesn't shut up until you click on her, tells you things you already know and is mostly useless when you are stuck, only serving as a reminder of where you left off... Guys. Navi is Clippy the paper clip. A worse version without a search bar sure but combine that with the whole "you have to update" or "Microsoft word is blah blah blah" that used to pop up despite being able to continue without issue once you click the X.

Oh but I'm not done. Tatl from Majora's mask? Basically just Navi but updated to pop up less often like a browser assistant you need to click on to activate. King of Red lions? Is LITERALLY tech you upgrade with other parts for a "smoother" ride with Linebeck serving the same purpose in phantom hourglass. Breath of the wild? Literally gives you a tablet with programs that allow you to essential hack physics and tears of the kingdom is the same but with a literal copy, save, paste and move through ceilings hack.

Speaking of copy and paste? Literally the echoes in echoes of wisdom. And when you dive in? You're essentially going into the recycling bin and restoring old data. You can even "run" as Link.

Still not done though. Minish cap? Literally minimises you, Zelda in spirit tracks? Literally hacks enemies once you've created a vulnerability. Four swords and triforce heroes are literally made for multiplayer, the oracle games don't really have a companion but the gimmick is just setting the world to different times like you do on devices when you want to trick the game into activating certain events. Same for a link between worlds, no companion but lowrule is Hyrule in dark mode.

Guys.... It's all tech and programming computer references and....

Well either I'm completely insane or I need to rethink my stance on the whole "magic is science we don't understand" thing... Wait... Breath of the wild used the Sheikah slate, literal technology, to give you the abilities you could STILL use in tears of the kingdom because of magic! The hell!

[temporalbystander]

So.... Just a little post to say I'm alive. Oh and... 🎉 To me..... For reasons I hate due to time. And since I'm here. The main reason I will never bring my pony oc back to life on this blog? Besides my complete and utter lack of desire to continue pretending these characters mean as much to me as they used to, is there is a certain pony I don't want strolling over... I like bananas as much as anyone but that pony opens the doors to pony multiverse and I don't want to go back in there.

You know I probably should have written the ideas down somewhere. I vaguely remember the powers part but have no idea on the deck. Which I'm thinking I need to rename because of there being an abyss~ archetype and the abyss actors... Could go for abyssal though, the only two cards with that name would fit into the deck well.

So.... You guys remember a while back I mentioned coming up with an original Yu-Gi-Oh character? And a whole bunch of cards that fit my depressed ass void of emotions? Yeah... Well I just rewatched some of littlekuriboh. Specifically the paradox duel. Pharoahs throne and leather pants...

Guess who is currently writing down all the card names he can remember, the effects he is making up on the spot, and will be going onto Google to get average atk and def points. If I really devolve I may write up the intro of the character and post it here. Let you see just how he got the deck and powers he did... I totally didn't just come up with it as I was watching the videos.
