Hey guys I really like bird symbolism

So larks typically symbol daybreak or a new day in traditional mythology and religions in a way summoning the doodler into the world cause a new daybreak and new day it’s also described that larks, as passerine, are the “most evolved of all birds” skylark (which is typically the bird described when ppl just say lark) was a verb used by sailors meaning “play tricks or practical jokes; indulge in horseplay” much like lark oak Garcia as a child

Sparrows are very social birds occurring in flocks even during non breeding season (relying and being dependently close…) they are also one of the few passerine birds that would dust bathe sparrows were associated with love and lust in older religions and mythologies (they were closely related to Aphrodite) pet sparrows also must be raise by hand and are very hard to raise and maintain as pets much like a certain oak-Garcia as a child

I highly doubt this name symbolism was intentional in naming the twins however comma I like looking at it bc I really like bird symbolism and how different birds histories and behaviors can signify things about a piece of work if they’re included

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #lark oak garcia #sparrow oak #sparrow oak garcia #don’t get me started on pigeons #I like just had a revelation abt pigeons as symbolism in my script analysis class #they’re so AHHHHHHHHH #I really wanna write just a play that is just bird symbolism #bird symbolism #birds #lunarrosette’s shit #character analysis #kinda

I am obsessed with how narratively convenient Lark's divinatory abilities are. She's the only one of the protagonists who is both pragmatic and has a working sense of self-preservation, so having some internal impulse that is actually the guiding hand of the cosmos pushing her into doing the REALLY stupid shit is both necessary and really useful.

Like, I am the type of writer who kind of scoffs at the idea that characters are beyond the writer's control and will completely screw over your outline, because on one hand, a sensible outline will follow the characters' personalities and tendencies anyway. Obviously in an ensemble cast you will need to do some wrangling, but in theory your characters are responding to varying degrees of stimuli in order to maneuver them into the places you need them to be for things to all come together in the end.

But more importantly, "curse from god" is the funniest and easiest way to push any character to do things beyond the realm of reason when necessary, and frankly, what the fuck is the point of playing god if you don't embrace that?

#midst podcast #midst spoilers #cr meta #anyway at all times I am advocating for taking full responsibility for your characters and overall story #this is also why I laugh at those posts like 'um if you're not going to treat your characters right then you shouldn't get custody of them' #sorry babe there is no CPS in my head. I am the cruel custodian and these are my poor darwinian orphans. #that's a joke but really like. look. yeah sometimes you gotta fabricate scenarios to make characters do what you want #but like... you do that by going 'who is this character and what would it take to push them to x'??? #and especially in an ensemble cast sometimes that thing is 'curse from god' or 'divine insight' #fun fact: I LOATHE that post about 'my writing teacher made a joke that the characters are driving and the writer is locked in the trunk' #absolutely fucking hate it. #because THE WHOLE POINT OF FORMALLY LEARNING WRITING IS LEARNING HOW TO BE INTENTIONAL. #it is perfectly possible to write successfully without ever having a formal teacher but IF YOU HAVE A FORMAL TEACHER. UH. #like yeah yeah 'workshopping' but like. okay go build your own workshop group don't pay somebody jfc #(cuz it's not like most creative writing teachers know how to teach you to workshop. let's be fucking real.) #if you wanna learn how to workshop take a script class for the love of god. #ANYWAY rant over but I'm correct. the highest purpose of a writer is to be a control freak and to play god.

someone asked for handwriting headcanons.

#strq #my art #thoughts and stuff ahead -> #they only asked for rose/bird but i had all of them so might as well. #summer with the script that she had to teach the twins how to decipher i just know her class notes were god tier uwu (sorry) #wanted to give raven sharper handwriting compared to the others. she is allergic to writing in lowercase. #tai goes back to dot his i's & j's really dark if you can tell he also likes adding big hooks to lowercase letters #and enjoy qrow's chicken scratch he writes the fastest & does not add dots to his letters

being full of extreme emotions 24/7 does NOT make you good at expressing emotions, especially when it's sanitized, socially-ordained sentiment demanded by professional etiquette. in fact, being super upfront and genuine about my emotions makes this faux behaviour MORE excruciating, imho

source: i am consistently the most emotional person on the face of the earth, but am experiencing The Agonies trying to write thank you cards for my second-last day at work

#like it's fine. i can do it. i'll live #i UNDERSTAND why we have professional etiquette and social scripts like #I GET IT #i just think that in many (not all but many) they are very stupid!! and i am bad at them!! #it feels like LYING and i CANT LIE IT MAKES ME FEEL SICK #like i am expressing emotions which i am not experiencing!! which is rare #i express my silly extreme emotions 24/7 but now??? #WORKPLACE EMOTIONS??? IN FANCY NICE CARDS???? #insane. idk man #i think it is part i am very awkward and socially bad thing. do not like proscribed social scripts and all that #and it's part a class thing?? like. grow up poor working class #my idea of a thank u is like. i bake cookies. i bring lasagne. idk man #CARDS??? STATIONERY??? #it's like. we are running on social scripts i dont understand and was never taught #and therefore hard to follow #GOOGLE. MY BESTIE. HOW DO I WRITE A XYZ #just trying not to like. socially blunder yknow #i KNOW ppl find my awkward genuineness endearing in a pitiful child charming way #but I AM TRYING TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS A PROFESSIONAL #bc im GOOD AT MY JOB. I LIKE MY FIELD. i just ALSO happen to be v emotional and silly #these are not mutually exclusive ok #the duality of fran

[bigothteddies]

wish I ran a porn company that specialized in producing high quality adaptions of erotica to film

#unimportant thoughts #yk??? that’d be fun #only take exceptionally talented actors and make them take classes #writing scripts and building scenes and getting direction from the original author on positions and #god ! itd be so fun!

[birbwell]

I spend a lot of time proselytizing Catface/Waleran but not nearly enough time preaching about my fav platonic relationships. which put me into the ground just as hard. Cuthbert & Remigius, Aliena & Catface, and of course Cuthbert & Milius & Philip .. sigh

#birbwellspeaks #are platonic crackships real.. looks at cuth/remi #had to write a script for scenario class earlier and couldnt think of anything but PotE headcanons #so i sort of wrote about them and slapped different names instead #and now im thinking abour all of them again. i m probably the illest about this story i am Dying thousand deaths again

[cliveguy]

starting to actually seriously look at jobs outside the uk now lol

#um.txt #getting ahead of myself looking at postgrad jobs when i need to actually finish this masters #and also work on an actual writing portfolio lol #a lot of the places im looking at want a script for a writing sample and im taking a screenwriting class next year. so!

#CSI #CSI CBS #Finlay Friday #Julie Finlay #David Phillips #Dead of the Class #script extracts #my gifs #hey CBS hire me to re-write a scene of a “cute” woman in a “sexy pants suit” calling Finn gorgeous #then later have them argue while one is in a nightshirt #see how differently it turns out #I DARE YOU #cowards #I really love the end scene with Dave #it's super soft and cute :3

… I may or may not write Dinbo fanfic after the semester is over…

#the mandalorian #dinbo #din djarin #bo katan kryze #din x bo katan #or I guess #djarin x bo katan #that was a twist #anyway I loved the finale but I want more #let’s see I have to like write an 85 page script in two weeks for class first tho

[arcane-strangeness]

heeheheheheee guess who wrote like 3 pages of worldbuilding and plot setup for an arcane analog horror au of sorts. god i wish i knew how to youtube

#crazy. i was crazy once. #and all of it was written in my photography class #because idk wtf i'm doing in there #my posts #i might just end up writing fanfiction for it #but i could genuinely script an entire short series like y'all don't even know #i hate school but whats a girl to do when she's forced to conform to societal norms

[laliloon]

"How are you out online and not to your parents that follow you on social media?"

Well, Bojan once said:

Interview by JOSubs

#i actually agree so much with bojan because I only feel comfortable talking about my deepest emotions or expressing myself through english #in my scriptwriting class I literally had to justify the use of english instead of portuguese #and the reason is simple: it creates a distance #i can barely see english as a language with meaning but rather a language where I can EXPLAIN the meaning of what i want to say #i would have never write my rants or scripts in portuguese because it would be superficial #because it's scary to write about such emotions in my own language - especially mental health wise #sorry for my rant #anyways #not tagging jo on this one #bojan cvjetićanin #random rant #maria papoila

in an unexpected turn of events i'm having to edit down the content in my aubrey monologues so that i can actually fit all four of them in my final performance for my standup class and on the one hand it sucks bc i really love some of the jokes i have to cut but on the other hand someday i'll be able to write more monologues and possibly expand upon this cut material so i can get a whole monologue on a topic that would've just been an aside

#the actual standups in my class who have only ever done a tight five having to stretch their new material to fit the 20 minute final #vs me‚ an extremely extra fag who's used to writing full-length scripts‚ realizing the 3 monologues i've timed already add up to 20 min #and i'm working on a fourth one that works better as an opener than any of the existing pieces so it has to get in #(it'll be short tho i'm making sure of it. it's just like ''here's some material about aubrey's relationship to zir mom!'') #(then immediate segue into the uncle reg bit) #got the catcalling monologue down to 5 minutes and 30 seconds when the first draft was nine minutes #(tbh i'm fine with most of those cuts i think they were mostly filler) #(there's a bit about androgyny that i liked that i cut but tbh it doesn't work as just one paragraph it needs more nuance) #the uncle reg monologue is having the ''dumped at the pride parade'' thing trimmed down which is funny bc that was the original premise #tbh i could probably stretch my toronto pride material ft. uncle reg to a full 20 minutes bc the first stream of consciousness was so long #i wrote it right after i myself got back from toronto pride and tbh i actually wrote it as the outline for a sitcom episode #so the monologue version is very reduced down bc there were so many details that didn't fit in #and i'm realizing the material about the person who dumped aubrey should be its own monologue that i'll do another time #and maybe even add in the rest of the sitcom-style story at some point bc tbh that's some of my favorite aubrey material i've come up with #and the cishetman monologue is getting the intro part about facetime trimmed a bit bc it meanders #and the ''sugar and spice and everything nice'' joke is being cut even tho i like it bc i actually have a ton more material in my notebook #that's just me riffing on how weird those expressions are. and the material isn't polished but i could make it something later #the song isn't being trimmed bc it has a very specific run time and imo is the strongest. so that's my closer #anyway thank you to everyone reading my aubrey updates i'll be sure to post the final 20-minute-special on youtube #and i hope i get to do more monologues soon so i can put the other ideas mentioned here (as well as some i haven't) out into the world

Im so sorry they misinterpreted your demon yaoi but it could have been worse they could have compared it to that habbo thing or whatever

true... its okay i spent like 2 hours last night revising and editing my play so that the average joe will pick up on it being toxic one sided yaoi and not tell me its like an abusive father. the average yaoihead just cant understand the deep complexities the genre can have i suppose

#btw the person who initially compared my play to that fuckass show is the one who called my lucifer a groomer. so theres that #literally some people can only read things through abuse narratives and its so frustrating when you tey to write nuanced relatioships #like the point is that lucifer doesnt see anyone else as real bc of the system of abuse he is a part of and that makes him gross to ppl ig? #as much as i want to put my script out there i also do not want ppl to mass misinterpret it like my class did 💀 #abuse mention
