Venus hasn’t even posted yet and I don’t know why you’d think it’s scummy that I’m stressed out and exhausted for being in too many games. Last year at this time, I hardly ate anything for 2 weeks and didn’t sleep properly, so I’m burnt out I even have chess opponents wondering wtf happened to me.

why did you only blackmail MT Hectic? other people are probably feeling left out.
there was a point right before i started my freshman year that i wanted to give film making a try, well like, screenwriting and stuff but i don't think i have an eye for that sort of thing unfortunately? it's harder for me to like... visualize how things will actually play out in reality/on a screen versus what i write out, like it would never match. but lately it's been on my mind because i read the uhhh, midsommar script because i can't watch the movie because i'm a little baby but the very ending of it has been engraved into my mind to the point where i want to tinker around with it again
also why specifically nine? i guess maybe my style is like... not so organized that i can imagine having a solid number like that. it seems a bit overwhelming maybe, but it's an intriguing combination? uh, there are elements i like from both of those so i'm curious as to /which/ you're going with. also tbh through in at least the violent-graphic parts from asoiaf. that's the best part.
in retrospect saying that maybe i just focus too much on objectively "darker" themes or whatever, maybe i am edgy. but that's a lot of the fun for me in writing is exploring those sort of things and how they impact characters.
i'm the same way though i like, i have one ""main"" project that i've scrapped together over the past... two years? but i've not made leeway into it much even though i want to, it would be like a few books worth. and now i have this new thing that started off as very indulgent but i grew to care about too quickly, alas. do you use any particular organizers/programs/methods to keep track of it all?
Spoiler:
Oh, that's interesting. I've always liked film, and once I started working on film sets, and was able to mix it in with writing, something I've done since I was a kid, so I almost started my process with seeing images rather than words, then trying to write my images and the attached feelings alongside it. Screenplays I don't get to be inside a character's head, but I get to show the images, so I'm kind of simultaneously creating the same story from different perspectives because I think that the same stories in different mediums can enhance both if done correctly.
I had a lot of moving parts I wanted, and it's sort of like a Shakespearean History, I even almost went to name the chapters Act 1 Scene 1, and so forth, and I wanted to create a long story with characters that have an insane amount of growth because they were generally forced to grow up because of the events of the world they are in, typical fantasy, so I basically ebbed and flowed my way into telling the story I needed for the characters to go on the journey I wanted them to see. I have a lot of characters.
Frankly, I always wanted to make my own Mario Party like game because I loved Mario party, I used to create games, and have my siblings pick out my toys, and we would play games like that, so I wanted to make my own long lasting epic fantasy series in a way where I could use my game creation ideas (not the coding side of things) to create like a Mario esque Nintendo line of games, so it was going to be long, and after plotting a rough structure (I like to bend the rules of structure, similar to my mindset on game design shown through the games I mod), it just kind of had to be 9. It's a 3 Act structure of trilogies, but they're not really trilogies because I think imbalance is beautiful.
Yeah, there's graphic moments still, I like to play with emotions ;p. I love me a good death. I write about Human Morality and Inclusiveness a lot, and I love melancholy, but like the moment when Eren in Attack on Titan turns and sees the Titan just casually staring over the wall before impending doom. Legendary.
A lot of times I have an issue staying on one project because if I come up with a new idea, I want to explore it. But I've finally reached a point in my life where it's like, alright, I think I can manage to start setting myself up to do this full time instead of grinding out other jobs and film work, and I'm ready to direct one of my stories, so I have to get things going haha, so it's giving me a bit more motivation to finish it up.
Spoiler:
really? i'm entirely the opposite, it's all like... impressions of images versus words which are able to create something concrete and real for me, and that goes for reading things in general. it's too... dreamy, and when i try to find like, physical references i get too frustrated because nothing can ever match up what's in my head and it's disappointing. maybe if i worked with people who had a better aye for art/etc it'd be easier but ultimately i sort of shy away from it. though, lately i've wanted to do a visual novel because i think it's one of the best creative formats that exists frankly.
that makes sense, too, and personally i'd like... go for that because who doesn't love a reference like that? it's a bit overdone i ~guess~ but i have fondness for cliche sometimes. there's a reason it's used over and over. to me that seems like... hm, i guess i like to imply certain things more tha i like spelling them out; if i was to ever give a story/character that degree of depth a lot of it would be reflected in worldbuilding versus written prose that a reader gets to see. having an audience come to their own conclusions with some room for speculation appeals to me more, as does the unreliable narrator. how many do you have? for like, writing my own original content i have... a fucking fleet of them. and i have a fleet that i use for writing with other people too in like, established canons.
that's cute though honestly, LMAO. little family all working together to make a great fun game together. and like, 9 is a good reference point/number, first thing that comes to mind is the zero escape trilogy if you've ever played them? if you like uh, having a lot of different perspectives/endings and weird structures and things going on if you haven't played them i definitely think that you might like them? they're one of my favorites and definitely a point of reference for myself when it comes to trying to design things. and to keep a closed, looped, etc etc Good story; i prefer symmetry and chaos in equal amounts though depending on the content.
okay good good, do not sanitize your content. make your audience cry and kill everyone. that is the way to go! what do you mean by inclusiveness? like, how social groups/etc form and how people are weaved in and out? i think that... if i had to explain what i wrote about, a lot of it is trauma, humanity vs gods/nature/etc, obsessive natures, that sort of thing. i'm very interested in character stories, maybe, is the way to put it, and what they go through. and those sort of things for what i write inherently mean characters going through like... things that shape them and them having to cope with how they're shaped. and romance i guess too is a theme but maybe it's better to say intimacy, in whatever forms it takes, is something that i find central?
also good good! keep going, honestly 500 words is like, better than i have done in a very long time when it comes to making myself write things so i am ROOTING FOR YOU, and i really hope you share it w everyone when it is a finished product!! i'd love to see.

Ydrasse towny for the wall posting. Haven't read it but I assume there's some hardcore solving in there.

Spoiler:
I'll look into that then. I like visual novels, I would just always have to hire an artist because I can't draw, but essentially, I'd like to make Visual Novels as my storyboard for any movies I'd wanna make.
I like symmetry still, I just like breaking other structure, and I learned "dare to be dull" in an early acting class of mine, and I really like those type of moments to make the hype moments hype.
I put characters first always, but like, I wasn't going to type out the entire character stuff in the middle of the game here because then all the world building aspects would need to be explained, and it's a process. Inclusiveness was kind of a blanket umbrella term, because I have another story called 2184 where I have an agendered alien race who's been shunned off in society to the point of having to stay hidden, and people think they were just a folk's tale kind of thing.
I was thinking about modding a game with it as flavor eventually, but I didn't know how weird it would be without people able to really ever learn the actual flavor source until potentially later.
Ydrasse why is this the only post I can really sense as content from your ISO
100+ posts and only one that feels like it might be a real-deal read vs. just reading someone off of likability or whatnot
what are you trying to imply here exactly you shade slinging slimebucket?
Check One Two (which I’m presuming is Hectic’s alt) was the only one to interact with my today
I’m not exactly in the mood to be posting thoughts if no one is around to receive that I would really think should

the radar? Surely hiding in plain sight would then be the desired strategy.

What did you eat for breakfast this morning?
I had last night’s dinner for breakfast at approximately 5 am my time. It wasn’t memorable like the delectable sushi I had a week ago,
