goap want to bond with reader :/ they really do but they don’t know how since they don’t like ACTUALLY know you lol (that’s what you get for kidnapping someone). So maybe on a good day ,where Stockholm has almost set in, they ask what she wants to do, bonding activity wise. Sooooo reader asks Simon for some face paints and brushes and Simons all like “??????”. But then when he gets back with said supplies she tells Johnny to take his shirt off and lie face down in the bed and Johnny is like “sex? sex? sex? Please?”. But she just starts painting pretty little designs on his back, vines and flowers, maybe even little hearts. She does the same for Simon. She can’t verbally say she loves them, not yet, but she can paint it on them. Let them see she’s trying and that she’s so close to saying those three magical words.

this is wildly self indulgent lol. But I thought of this in class today and thought it was cute. A way for her to bond with Simon and Johnny that’s soft and sweet, just like her<3

"sex? sex? sex? please?" has me fucking dying lmfao. just the image of lying there, a little confused but more than ready for some fun, only to be painted like a canvas. rip

i loooooove this idea. "soft and sweet like her" dead on, anon!

she just needs a break, yk? and she's clearly never getting away from these guys, would it be the worst thing ever to indulge in something you actually like? no. no it would not.

and simon and johnny are very confused when you request face paints. not regular paints, which even a sketch artist like johnny might have a slight familiarity with, but face paints. still, it's an innocent enough request that they're more than happy to fufill

they're both a little confused when you start painting johnny's back, but you're so... serene in that moment, there's no reason to interrupt.

johnny's muscular, and though he's not as scarred as simon he's not completely unscathed. im not an artist but using all the ridges and plains would probably make for some pretty cool work - and you better hope poor johnny isn't ticklish if you want straight lines.

johnny sketches things for you to draw on simon. he makes you do them on his stomach, so he can look down and watch the two of you work. makes him feel taken care of. they both hateeeeee washing off your drawings :( especially when it's some of the only evidence of you affection. now, if you wash it off for them... they might be a little more convinced for the trade of your soft hands caressing them

like these people need to realise that presentation and appearance and even if you prefer to penetrate, be penetrated, or neither (shout out to my fellow side/side adjacent lads) doesn't dictate what D/s role you'd occupy.

some of the most fem, most manicured dudes outt here that i know aren't pillow princes like you'd expect, they're usually the one out there keeping their nails long so they can use them as 'weapons' and who are some of THE most sadistic dudes i know.

i also know v hard macho men who are like. the furthest from what you'd expect them to be cause they're muscular jocks. but they're little brats who bottom from the top.

u know what i mean? i fucking HATEEEEEE the idea that some people have that dcharacters can't possibly express a top/bottom or Dom/sub preference unless it aligns with what they personally think a character would be into. like unless there's explicit shit in the text confirming it, people of all kinds are capable of Dom and sub roles. you'd be shocked if you knew some of the men women and enbyfriends i know who inhabit different wonderful roles despite how they appear or act or dress.

i hateeeeee how eveyrone's so focused on these so called generational divides like can we fucking talk about the fucking divide that actually fucking matters??? the socioeconomical one??????? everyone's too fucking busy talking about millenial or gen z or boomer or whatever all the while fucking rich people are killing us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#literally dont give a fuck about the generational divide sorry

Hey! I love seeing all your very exciting and intriguing posts that give us little glimpses into your writing & game making processes. I was wondering how you found/find the coding side of IF?

I'm currently having to do some on my IF course and hateeeeee it. I have always hated coding and find it's really ruining the fun of the writing for me. I'm wondering what your experiences have been and if it was a hurdle you had to overcome (or not!)?

Ahhh thank you so much, that's really kind! and apologies if this ends up posting after your course is done!

I'm fortunate in that my dad was in game development when I was young so I had computers at home growing up in the 90s/00s. Although I haven't had formal training beyond IT lessons in Year 9 I messed around making websites when I was a young teen, and then I taught myself to make mods in my mid teens. So when I started using Twine in earnest in 2014 I was coming at it with a head start... which is a massive issue in tech and games and really highlights how important accessible tools are for people who aren't programmers or who otherwise don't have that kind of foundation (and although I'm confident with a bunch of IF tools, I'm very much not a programmer!).

Soapbox aside! Everyone is different and I love hearing about other people's processes but what I like to do is:

Figure out the plot and branches, usually on paper, sometimes digitally, with bullet points or mind maps/branch diagrams

Create functional code before writing, with placeholder descriptions/dialogue. Check that it works as intended, playing through and/or using automated testing depending what engine you're using. (With ChoiceScript this is when I check difficulty balance using RandomTest. With Twine or inky, I check for errors as I go, then playtest. Other software's functionality varies but either way I'll do some sort of testing to check it hangs together.)

Write prose and/or dialogue. I'll sometimes realise I need to rethink something in the code or add, remove or move something. But because it's all placeholder and relatively short, it's not too unwieldy to shuffle around as needed.

Playtest and revise as needed.

I didn't use to do it like this - in my earlier IF projects I wrote and coded at the same time, but that ended up being less efficient and more difficult. I still do small sections like that, such as when adding stuff at the writing stage, but I've settled on this method because it means I have a clear line between "design mode" and "writing mode" rather than trying to cover both at once, which suits my brain. I also find doing the design/code stage like this means I notice and troubleshoot plot or mechanics problems more quickly.

My wife does a similar method for her ChoiceScript projects but she finds it helpful to alternate coding and writing in shorter cycles. So she'll plan out a chapter, code a chunk of it, write an early section, code a later chunk, write some more, and so on like that. It means her brain doesn't get fatigued by longer periods of solely writing or coding, and the variety keeps up her momentum.

I do recommend trying a variety of IF tools if you haven't already because you may find one that clicks for you better than others! I hope the course has gone well, and good luck!

What do you think of the Hitchhiker’s Guide movie?

My dad really likes it (I think I remember him saying he likes it more than the book) but I don’t care for it and it is a matter of debate for us

well i just finished rewatching it just now so here's all my thoughts fresh out of the oven!

I don't like it. it's bad and not good. at best it's just mediocre. I hateeeeee that they forced an arthur/trillian romance its so annoying and insufferable and NOTHING. ITS SO LAME. especially cause trillian also became a damsel in distress and I just had to roll my eyes back into my head.

ig the book didn't have enough content to adapt into a feature film so they added an entirely original midsection with that creepy guy named kamala harris or whatever his name was and the entire time i was just like uhhh wtf is happening and why are we here. as a result the ending feels pretty rushed to me.

there were a couple of new additions that I thought weren't half bad though. like the flyswatters on the vogon planet that slap you every time you think for yourself and marvin using the point of view gun to give the vogon army acute depression. those were pretty good.

and who the hell cast this movie? zooey deschanel as trillian sucked ass. I don't like her or her scary blue eyes or her lackadaisical #californiagurl performance. mos def is also a terrible actor and not a convincing ford at all. martin freeman at least has the appropriate depressed british white man vibes to be arthur but i hate looking at his face cause it just reminds me of sherlock.

zaphod is the one I have the most to say about. I actually do like sam rockwell's zaphod because he looks the part and is appropriately sleazy. and I liked his outfits and accessories (though imo there was too much black and I would have preferred more bright colors and patterns). I especially love his combo of nail polish and this little gold chain thingy on his hand. just a nice lil slutty detail.

I'm completely baffled by his choice of a southern american accent though, where'd that come from? is it supposed to be like a bill clinton hillbilly president type deal or something?

and of course there's the elephant in the room regarding his heads. oh christ almighty how I hate the way they handled his second head. I get that it would have been harder to pull off the normal 2 heads side by side in a convincing way for the entire movie (its 2005 and the cgi in this movie looks fake as shit), but good lord every time his second head popped up from below seriously made me want to retch. its sickening to look at and sickening to think about and it's just way more awkward than the more straightforward solution. I also think it's strange that the movie added an explanation that zaphod created the second head during his campaign to store all his uncharismatic traits??? why can't he just be an alien with 2 heads??? I ALSO seriously hate how the other head is all CRAZYYYYYY AND WEIRDDDD AND INSANEEE ASYLUMMMMMM it's not funny at all it's just really hard to watch.

all these issues are kind of surprising given that douglas adams is credited as an executive producer AND screenplay writer? which is also weird since the movie was released 4 years after his death? I have no idea what the production of this movie was like and I'm afraid to find out.

i HATEEEEEE the clueless reader troupe so much, like i get some are trying to do the whole bimbo thing but it gets wayyy too childish,,, like the reader will be in their 20s not understanding any reproductive anatomy about their own body or anything about sex or anything "adult" related and then the character will clearly use that to take advantage of the reader since they dont understand and need to be "taught" it which just gives me huge grooming vibes

EXACTLY OMG THEY MAKE BIMBO READER A FUCKING TWO YEAR OLD IN DISGUISE . ITS SO DISTURBING TO SEE. There’s a difference between being uneducated and a virgin vs being a total idiot. Even virgins know what a damn vagina is and how it works, there’s no need for a grown woman in university to be “w-what’s a vagina🥺” and then the man being all like “I’ll teach you don’t worry” TEACH HER WHAT? TF DO U KNOW ABOUT VAGINAS THAT SHE DOESMT KNOW?

Like oh my god that trope gets me so heated and I feel like it’s just a way people can fetishes lil kids in a way that’s not so discreet. Bimbo Reader doesn’t mean act like a toddler . If you can’t see the difference between a stupid adult and a kid, stop writing it

Actually , so uncomfortable so see.

And ppl defend it like “if u don’t like it dont read it” um excuse me, I don’t read it for starters, and two, me avoiding it completely doesn’t make it any less okay or not. It’s still glorifying grooming which is a disgusting thing in real life, and indirectly sexualising kids because some ppl think it’s hot when their significant other acts like a toddler instead of a functioning adult with a mature fully developed brain

[softboiled-egg]

Like dazai is not my favorite bsd character but I can’t help but to analyze him. He’s so complex and a good representation of the cycle of abuse. He can make me laugh and amazed in one scene and then the next I hate him and want him to die. Like when he’s near akutagawa, I hateeeeee the man so much and want them very far away (dazai abusive mother core) tho I understand why dazai treated akutagawa the way he did I still feel resentment towards him, and the way he still uses him even though he’s not working with the PM anymore. And just for akutagawa to see dazai treat atsushi the way he wants to be treated all the damn time 🤧 need akutagawa to get therapy!!!!! But also dazai is so cool in silly when he’s with literally anyone else.Ahhhhh I can go on and on but I still need to read the light novels and read the parts of the manga that are not animated by bones

#nawi talks #bungou stray dogs #I love rambling!!! #if you want my opinion on a character plz ask! I love just talking about anything #tho I won’t promise it’ll sound coherent #this one here is super incoherent #but I will try to organize my thoughts more lol

Dark Angel Reaction: Shorties in Love

Jezebel (@typicalopposite) reacts [with occasional asides by Wench (@scripted-downfall)]

Yaayyy! She’s back! 💕  [SHE BACK!  So is OC and Herbal and Sketch :)]  And she’s getting flirted with

“I’m not into pampering”  Unless Logan isn’t spoiling me enough.  Or is trying to be independent when I don’t want him to.  Or doesn’t have his world revolving around me

[Max, shut up; you've always gotten your insight into men from OC, wdym]  ☠️☠️☠️☠️

Oooohh ahhhhhh  [Truly a beautiful representation of the opening song]  ☠️☠️☠️ it fucking kills meeeeeee

Uh oh, nooooo

Jam pony and Max in the back like 👀👀👀  [tbf I'd be watching them pretty 👀 too]  I WAS

OC you dog ☠️ I saw you check her out when she bent over

Diamond talks in 3rd person too

Max is like DAMMIT LOGAN

Bruh why

WHY IS SHE GOSSIPINGGG

Is this poetry ever mentioned again?  Or was that just an unnecessary act of rudeness we are supposed to overlook  [Not for the most part, I don't think.  There's an unrelated mention of poetry in s2.  But that's, again, not about Logan and more about Max's jealousy]  Writers explainnnn

Mennnnn

Blech

Awwww

NOOOOO THE GIGGLE

[Max being weirdly understanding]  Right!?

This is sickeningly adorable  [I KNOW!  I love her!  Both hers!]

Ma’am.  No one is watching you.  You ain’t gotta look so… Like you’re looking

☠️☠️☠️☠️ “Pee outside.”  I mean… You did just kinda bust up into his house.  But I’m still ded

I love it so much

[Max, wtf was that stance??? The most awkward way to stand ever]  What the hell

This woman and her strange way of standing and sitting and holding guns  ["I'm gonna go home and chill out" *but first I'ma sit here randomly on the table*]  And not look at you.  Angstily.  Like… LIKE.  SHE WENT THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO SIT ON THE COUNTER

[Okay, apparently the poetry did come back.  Didn't get much better though]

BRUHHHH She gon die  [You're gonna jinx her]  She is jinxing herself

This is too adorable I cantttttt

DIAMOND NOOOOOOO

🤣🤣🤣  Sketch  [This is the best Max ever acts with him, wtf?]

[MAX WHAT IS THAT ARM DOING]

*sigh* That went well

[Why is she like.  Actually smiling these days.  That's so out of character?]  🤣🤣🤣

They had to make her likable this ep so when she inevitably gets Diamond killed it won’t justify OCs rage

– – – 

Jezebel: OMG I LOVE OC SO MUCCHHHH

Wench: I KNOW

Jezebel: Diamond is being sus af and I hateeeeee it 🥺🥺🥺 but shes also talking about the future and doesn’t ma’am know that’s a sure fire way to get ded?!  I know they went through this massive technology apocalypse but she has seen tv at some point in her life. That’s like rule number one: don’t plan out your future… or you won’t have one

Wench: I thought rule one was don't do the deed in a horror film.

Jezebel: SHE BROKE THAT ONE TOO

Wench: OH SHIT SHE DID

Jezebel: GAHDAMMIT WOMAN

Wench: alskdfj

Jezebel: I also love sketch and herbal! Even tho the latter had like 1/8 of a line… And Max isn’t god awful just like semi awful mainly with her bitchy snatching of the poem book.  Oh, and Logan’s “so they were making out?” MEN 🤣🤣🤣 whyyyy

Wench: I knew you’d comment with that :)

Jezebel: And really that’s all I got for midpoint… Yet another not much has happened minus the BIG main thing to happen episode

Wench: On with the show!  Literally!

– – –

[Fancy flip]

Ughhhhh DIAMONDDDD DONT DOOO IT [tbf, btw, *Max* is kinda acting sus af]

SHE DONE DONE IT DIAMOND WHYYYY

well shittttt  [She lives nonetheless]

[I think he's in CSI]  He looks familiar  [I’ll look him up later]  

YOU COULD HAVE DONE THAT THE WHOLE TIMEEEEE?!?  This is why people don’t trust you woman

[Also, James Cameron and the "dyne”s again aslkfdj  The Terminator was Cyberdyne; Alien was Hyperdyne; now we've got Synthedyne]

Why’s his apple logo upside down? ☠️  WHY’S IT UPSIDE DOWN?  [Probably because they didn't want to deal with an actual computer?  Or maybe they used to be upside down.]  ☠️🤣🤣🤣

🥺🥺🥺🥺 Well god dammmmit  [I was so sad when I found out about this first time 'round]

Bruhhhh

Yes the hell it is selfish ma’am ☠️  “Imma die. So imma go win back the one that got away and make her happy for the last little bit of time I have… then die on her… and make her life miserable. Cause that’s fair”  Wot.  WOTTTTT???  WOOOOTTTTTTT?!?!?

[OC.  MY DEAR.  STOP QUITTING YOUR JOB.]

OC 💔💔💔💔

Boo!!!! You don’t deserve thissss

I don’t write original characters but I’m about to make her one

[Max, I think you could show some compassion]

Sketchhhh

Bruhhhhh I can’t evennnn

Does she know she’s contagious  [No, I don't think so]  Ok good  [Again, my memory is spotty on 1 episodes (except 17), but I don't think so]  I didn’t want to not feel bad for her dying, for OCs sake ☠️  [Yup]

[The dude's neck brace ☠️]  I know ☠️☠️☠️ Ma’am has some ridiculous feet strength  [Neck brace dude got taken out AGAIN]

🥺🥺🥺🥺

[I'm sorry but I love Max's hair.  Should not be the focus of the scene, I know.  But it's just.  So fetching.  With that Hazmat suit]  Seeee?  SEEEE???

NOOOOO.  IM DONE.  DEAD.  [Next episode’s worse]  I CAN'T 😭😭😭😭😭

Yusssss get ‘em!  [Serves the dude right for being an asshole to the guy who tried to get him to put on the suit]

[Oh shit I forgot that line and damn but it's a good one 😭]  IT ISSSS!!!!  [That scene was very Doctor Who hospital ep, if you remember that one.  With Cassandra and the plague carriers?]  YESSSS

IS SHE THINKING ABOUT LOGAN OR FUCKING ZACH??? BLECH  [asdfkljasdlfkjaldskfj I hate you for mentioning him]

Ye you do get over your first love ☠️

[RESPECT HIS BOUNDARIES MY WOMAN!  Also, she just said Man of Letters]  ☠️☠️☠️☠️

[I could never.  I might die]  Ma’am you did.  [Shut up.  You still haven't read my poetry, actually.  And also, I haven't showed poetry about someone to that person]

BITCH READ IT OUT LOUD!  WE’RE TRYING TO KNOW

[Bitch]  wot.  Wot.  WOT?!  [You just read his intimate poetry.  And just.  Leave?]  WHAT!?!?

Ma’am.  Shut up with the circlessssss.  And explain THE nonsensical HOOPLAH I JUST WITNESSED.  I-  I JUST- WHAT?!

– – –

Jezebel: I… nope I ain’t got nothing else on that! But backpedaling to OC! She didn’t deserve that ooooh my goddddd.  Shit Diamond didn’t deserve that!  Sector guy TOTALLY deserved that!  And… I really don’t know what else to say this episode was very clean cut ☠️☠️

Wench: True!

Jezebel: The real question is tho… Are we prepared for this next episode?

Wench: I am… I've seen it six times :)

Jezebel: You would, angst queen

Yeah, soy milk and too much soy in general is bad for sensitive stomach gang, rice and oat tastes like knifes to me. I was almost at the point of buying a food processor to make my own plant milk but i realized i can buy lactose-free milk, and now it's the only one I can have but in small quantities. But surprisingly soy cooking cream or yoghurt doesn't hurt me? I think all of that milk business is a hoax, big dairy is lying to us

there has to be some kind of conspiracy going on when it comes to milk bc apparently its (kind of) common knowledge that too much soy is bad for a lot of people but one of the first big milk alternatives was soy milk????? do you WANT us to die? and the push was always for plant based alternatives but all that shit either tastes AWFUL or hurts like hell. i had to dump so much sugar in the oat milk i got to even tolerate the taste 😭😭😭😭😭😭i hateeeeee this like i just need an extra stomach like a cow

Renee

*I lean against her as she wraps her arms around me, loving that we were both so affectionate with one another, not even usually being this affectionate with boyfriends in the past, there  was just something about Jen that made me so comfortable so fast* *I nod eagerly as she says we can order food* Oh my god, can we get that Chinese spot? I’ve been craving their lo mein all summer! *Jen and I had such a routine in our friendship, every day of the week being something that we did together, whether that was watching The Bachelor on Monday’s or eating shitty take out before parties on Thursday or just studying quietly in the same room, we planned most of our evenings around one another, always at each other’s dorms* *I groan as she says we should both unpack, shaking my head and stomping my foot in a pretend tantrum* God, I hate unpacking. I hateeeeee it! *I whine playfully before groaning again and sagging in defeat since I knew I had to get my stuff at least up to my room and get somewhat settled or else it would just be way more annoying tomorrow when I had books to go buy and schedules to look over and parties to attend* Fine, I will unpack and then come by. *unfortunately, our friendship took off after housing selections so we weren’t able to live together this semester, but we were hoping that maybe next semester we could figure something out, something neither of us has brought up to our current dorm mates, especially mine* *we both agree to meet up in an hour, finding it hard to pull myself from her, us both standing there reluctant to leave each other before we finally part ways, Jen’s dorm being a bit down the road from mine* *I begrudgingly unpack my car, bringing my stuff upstairs and greeting my friends, the lot of them helping so it went by a lot faster than I anticipated, chatting with them as they help, having missed them but I was already so antsy to get back to Jen*

___________________________________

*groans in delight as you mention the chinese place, looking up at you with wide eyes* You read my mind. Heck yes, I need their spring rolls like I need air. *giggles happily, us always being a bit dramatic but in a way that amused us both, always having so much fun with you and knowing that was a big reason why I craved your company so much, I just felt so relaxed around you* *giggles as you throw a mock tantrum at the mention of unpacking, shaking my head a little* I knowwwww. *pokes your nose in a playfully reassuring way* But think of how nice it’ll be when we can hang out when it’s finished. *grins, making a plan with you and giving you one last hug before we parted ways and I headed back to my car, feeling like I missed you already and so excited to be able to see you and be cosy again* *drives my car closer to the dorm and parks, getting out my stuff in a few loads and beginning to unpack in my dorm room, laying out the blankets and turning on the fairy lights, wanting it all to look perfect for when you came over* *The hour passes quickly, just finally getting done with my clothes before I tidy up a bit, hearing the intercom go and grinning as I go over and answer it* It’s opennn! *calls out, unlocking the building door and opening my dorm room door as I wait for you to come up, already feeling fluttery and happy at the prospect of hanging out with you again*

i hateeeeee the phrase 'girls gays and theys' because we all know you're talking about people who look like me and not the cis passing masc person who uses they/them or the buff non white man who happens to be gay or any masc trans woman and more than anything i hate that people feel like this is an acceptable group to include me in when clearly if you're using that term i want nothing to do with y'all because using this term just shows me you're as homophobic and transphobic as the politicians you pretend to hate

What I like about [email protected] is that he doesn't choke your inbox and when he does, the video links he provides can be actually helpful. BTW, I hateeeeee links that send me to YouTube ... but he's usually giving you useful information and all in a condensed period of time. This is especially helpful for all you new education-content-creators. Tips, tricks, and the man kinda respects that you're an educator and have at least two million other things to do.
