[PHYLLIS] You’ve been broodier than usual lately. Bad week?

[PHILLIP] Remember when you joked about me drowning myself in your swimming pool?

Being your authentic self?

[PHILLIP] Trying. For all the good that’s been doing.

[PHILLIP] Also, I relapsed last week.

[PHYLLIS] Oh, Phillip, but you do know relapses are part of the process.

[PHYLLIS] I know. I’m more disappointed than anything else.

[PHILLIP] For the first time in years, I felt as if I had it in the palm of my hand. And I just squandered it; because I was having a bad day. That it. One bad day. Now I’m right back where I started.

[PHYLLIS] You can’t feel too deeply about it, dear, the world isn’t ending. There’s always tomorrow.

[PHILLIP] Not really in the mood for whatever manufactured committee-drafted feel-good bullshit you found off Facebook, Aunty.

[PHYLLIS] Well, I don’t know what you want me to say. If you want a brighter future, obviously it’s going to be in the shadow of your past. Phillip, I know first-hand how our family operates, but you can’t allow yourself to become hopeless. They’ll sink you like an anchor otherwise. I’ve seen you try and I’ve seen you happy, I know who makes you happy.

[PHILLIP] Yeah . . .

[PHYLLIS] I honestly don’t know what you’re still doing here.

[JEAN] I spoke to my mother the other day.

[PHILLIP] Oh, really?

[JEAN] Yes, really. I was all alone in a foreign country after a multi-hour temper tantrum. It seemed like a mom-worthy emergency. I told her the truth about you, too, I thought she would be upset, or at least tell me that I was clearly being taken advantage of. But she didn’t; she just sort of listened until I was all talked out.

[JEAN] I miss her. I really do. It feels like everyone just leaves for no reason. My dad was killed by a drunk driver on the 905. There one day and then gone the next. Don’t even remember him,  but I thought I’d always have my mom. I guess I still do, even if . . . Look, I know I’m selfish. Mom just wants to be where she feels she belongs. Me of all people should be able to relate to that.

[PHILLIP] You’re not selfish, Jean, and I’ve been meaning to apologize. I’ve been treating you horribly. I wanted . . . growing up, my siblings and I learned there was a private side and public side. I wanted to protect you from the public side. I watched the press ruin my mother’s life from the outside in, same story with my ex-wife. I wanted things to be different this time, but I was just isolating you.

[JEAN] Phillip, I get it, like, part of me wants to be all Girl Power I-don’t-need-a-man-to-protect-me, but I don’t know what that type of exposure can do to a person, but I see the evidence in you. You never had anyone to protect you, your entire life.

[PHILLIP] When I was a boy, I was always admitted to the hospital well after midnight. I remember SUVs with blacked-out windows followed by dizzying helicopter rides over the city. My parents were terrified of the public knowing about me. Looking back, I was probably very lonely, but I told myself that the public didn’t need to know. Now, all these years later there is no such thing as private and public lies, my father lies indiscriminately, and I’ve realized that I’ve isolated myself, too. I’ve always been happier when I had someone, you know, there for me.

[PHILLIP] I want to be with you, Jean. I’m happy when I’m with you. I promise, I’ll put you above everything. Always. I like you, I like you a lot.

[JEAN] Yeah . . . and I love you, too.

The Final Attack on Titan Trailer!

Love that Armin narrated!

All the flashes were so good

I need to stare at the way they drew that close-up of Armin's eye with Ymir reflecting in it a little longer

The way Mappa drew baby Armin 😭💙

I have nothing but respect and gratitude for the animators that toiled for so many hours over this season <3

I watched it three times

Going to watch it again after this 🥰

#aot season four part three the final chapters part two #(aka it's basically just season five at this point) #the trailer was AMAZING #eren jeager #eren yeager #aot final season #armin arlert #mikasa ackerman #bertholdt hoover #reiner braun #jean kirschtein #pieck finger #titains #the founding titan #I'm so hyped even though I know the ending #Mappa #ema trio #running to the tree on that hill

Im about to make a whole osp style video on the importance of pacing and spacing in relation to whump or an authors decision to seriously harm a character

#kipspeak #long story short I wholeheartedly believe if you space it out wrong you will disengage your audience #and as a general rule of thumb you have a maximum of THREE instances across micro and macro story beats individually #Which both rest on a sliding scale of importance from minor to major and the spacing and groupage depends on what it is #three is also a guideline- I’ve seen characters hurt in unsatisfactory or overblown ways with only two; and I’ve seen it done #very well with four pushing five major focus points #setting also matters. Everything matters. But the conclusion is this #You are always on a balance beam with making your blorbo miserable. be aware of your major ‘chapter’ breaks (reset points) #… I have thoughts about things that I think have done it wrong and it is entirely about the pacing/spacing and not about the actual event o #the whump. #ahve I mentioned I hate that word yet. whump. I’m going to use it though because I need to get a point across #AND MIND YOU THIS IS FOR STORYTELLING WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS AN AUDIENCE MOSTLY #of course that falls under genre and medium exceptions… #brb. I’m going to make an osp trope talk video

At which point did you realise that the plot of IW is ass? I've seen people complain only about the ending or the halfway point where the teams separate, while I was already actively rolling my eyes like four-five chapters in

i think the moment i fully accepted that IW's story was. Definitely A Story was the moment ebina announced 'bleach japan'. like i think leading up to that point i was thinking to myself 'oh i hope i see X happen' or being like 'i wonder where this is going' and that sort but the proverbial bucket of ice was definitely that moment

#infinite wealth spoilers #snap chats #what reaaaaally hammered it in too if it wasnt obvious already was the execution of the jimas/daigo like that still irks me LMAO #i cant even remember what chapter that happened in i just know when it did i was utterly pissed #i think i started to take things less seriously once bryce entered the picture but thats only because of how distracting his VA was #like much love the JP voice actors who try to speak english and japanese but i just cant act like it's not incredibly distracting #esp when the character is supposed to be white yk what i mean- or at the very least their first language is supposed to be english #typically i can look over that thing if its a one or two time kind of deal but he had to speak in english much longer than others #im just rambling about bryce tho this aint bout him. i mean he could be a part of it the cult was executed really sloppily #it might have been the introduction of bryce actually ... i remember thinking to myself 'oh brother' with the whole messiah thing LMAO #maybe it was when kiryu told us his cancer cam from radiation instead of. smoking 💀 ESPECIALLY not even five chapters in #like straight out the gate you just wanna drop that on us mr I Can Do Everything Myself I Cant Worry Others ok #thats a post for another day tho im EVERYWHERE #POINT IS this is not about Retrospect this is about First Impressions and memory warps over time #but i know for a fact i found the bleach japan thing utterly ridiculous and was squinting at the plot the entire time thereafter #like ive said this a million times at this point but although i love IW for it's gameplay (pardon some nitpicks like lack of shortcuts) #its story really feels so messy and had much to be desired. which is so sad after the wonderful stories rgg has been making since 0.. #BUT OH WELL im still excited to replay it in english. god willing i ever get the time #i still wanna finish lost judgment <- isnt even halfway through the game #and i wanna do a fun stream Maybe with YK2 but ill get into that when i get into that #if youve read this far. thanks LOL id say sorry for the novel but thats what we expect of me at this point

love random not even logged in readers just dropping their 'constructive criticism' on your 100k+ story that you're putting online entirely for free. this is just a rant btw

"You obviously have a great talent and I think you should work on honing it some. As much as I’ve enjoyed the story, there are a few things that stand out that you might consider looking at. I feel like the story isn’t sure what it wants to be at times; is it character driven or plot driven? It doesn’t flow smoothly because sometimes we have these wonderful character vignettes, like Illumi and Kalluto on a road trip or Kite/Leorio/Gon/Killua in an apartment where plot doesn’t really feel important, followed by what feels like heavily plot driven beats, like Kalluto and the spiders. In addition, it contributes to confusion because sometimes we see established characterization turned on its head. Especially the weird way everyone all of a sudden just sort of was OK with Kalluto being a spider and then working with Illumi when they just went to all that trouble to escape him? It all kind of feels forced and not natural. You know?

Anyway, I’ll definitely keep reading and look forward to seeing what happens."

first: love you trying to sound legitimate with your "in addition" like this is some kind of writer's workshop. second: in what way would I, the writer, think that an incomplete part of my story in which the reader does not yet know most of the main motivations (they are only hinted at so far) feels forced and not natural when I know what's happening, where it is going (and where I haven't had other readers comment with confusion about that part)

and moving on. don't do this. also like i said this is a wip in and no, no one is cool with Kalluto being a spider and no they're not cool working with Illumi, really. it was already established that some of them /have/ been working with Illumi before this~ he's someone that they know. like have you never been in a seriously dangerous situation that you just have to get through before you get back to what you want?*** also at this point Chrollo's real motive hasn't been entirely revealed.

Killua keeps changing his mind about what he's doing because he's a scared kid whose self-hatred is destroying him from the inside out. the POV is so tight that I have to keep dropping reminders that what is stated in the narrative is often not true! Illumi's POV, for example, keeps showing Killua as really loving him and being happy he's around but struggling with a desire for freedom, while with Killua's POV he's terrified of Illumi most of the time. like how is that not obviously a distorted POV where you can't trust the narrator?

"where plot doesn’t really feel important, followed by what feels like heavily plot driven beats"

this part is especially irritating because it's like yeah that's how I want to write it? this isn't a published novel. I don't have to commit to making sure every scene is important to the plot. I can spend time writing a full scene about someone drinking a glass of water and then 13 chapters in a row that are for moving the plot forward. I didn't even tag it as a novel... I did tag it for unreliable narration and I keep getting annoyed that people keep ignoring that.

"I feel like the story isn’t sure what it wants to be at times; is it character driven or plot driven?"

it's both??? it's neither??? it's a fanfic??? why do I keep getting comments lately where people are expecting me to adhere to like fucking publishing standards. this keeps up and I will write a chapter which is entirely about a minor character drinking a glass of water. watch me. I'll write one about phinks drinking a glass of water and you'll like it*

"Overall, the story is good and presented a compelling alternative to CA. Look, each fan has their own opinion on CA and I know I didn’t like it. I think it was a product of what Togashi was going through as he began to experience health issues and then finding himself right back where he said he wasn’t going to be mentally after he ended his earlier manga. We can never know for sure, but it certainly had a “watch it all burn vibe” to it near the end. I honestly believe he wanted it to end with the finality of Gon’s suicide as a capstone statement, but was probably convinced to go a different route, which kinda of left a jarring feel in the narrative and culminated in a rather unsatisfying end to Gon and Killua’s journey. Despite that, I am very reluctant to read fics where the events of CA are erased or grossly modified and honestly yours is really the first long AU/alternate timeline I’ve enjoyed"

okay first of all, I love the CA arc. but I had to split a point off where Kite was going to survive. why do you have to leave this whole paragraph about how you think Togashi was or wasn't going to go with the CA on my fanfic? I didn't even write this as 'oh look at my alternative to CA bc I hated CA' I don't really look forward to hearing comments about how random people didn't like so and so aspect of the story that I'm basing my story off of. I've never written fanfic for a story that I didn't like (except for some things that I don't have published I wrote at a request for friends for a fandom they were into that I wasn't really) and yeah I've wanted to 'fix' aspects (like tolkien's treatment of women for example) but I am not looking for your 'this is what I hated about the source material' comments on my stories

tired of getting comments with little 'oh I didn't like your style at first but now I do' or 'here's how to fix your story!' unsolicited advice from people who aren't better writers than me (I don't even want it from people who would be better writers than me on stuff I'm just doing for fun and for free)

when did stuff like this become normal? at least don't be a coward and be not logged in so you can't even get a response notification. like girl they aren't cool with it! why do you think everyone is on guard standing around like they're in a fucking hostage situation? how do you see such wildly different interpretations from different character's POVs and think it's not intentional? what part about Kite watching Killua like a fucking hawk makes you think he's going to let Illumi take him after this?

like if you've never had to smile and pretend to be cool with your abuser (pretend to love them) or someone who was threatening you to keep someone else safe then good for you! it fucking sucks! also don't know how to explain to you what a child who is growing up in an extremely isolated abusive situation goes through (though I keep writing about it in this story you should catch on...) but it's a million back and forths with emotion and feelings--especially if their abuser does (to in some way or to some degree) love them. and it is often blaming themselves. I'm not letting my years of studying human psychology and child development go to waste here**

is this story perfect? no but I'm not gonna hire an editor for a fanfic. and everyone's interpretations of characters will be different. especially with child characters who are going through huge changes in the world around them and their personal lives. part of the appeal of fanfiction is 'who would they become if this happened instead?' *sorry I keep writing about starving and not having clean drinking water but I will never stop because that's what I grew up with and it's hell. also phinks drinking water would be compelling since I assume he'd have harder access to clean drinking water

**hunter x hunter is also one of the only stories I have encountered with characters who have backgrounds as fucked up as mine and Togashi's interest in human psychology really stands out.

***like good for you but that was most of my life and you sometimes just have to shut up and get through it. and no I will not put my notes in the right order bc I'm not being paid enough****

****I'm being paid nothing

#sorry i got one too many comments that irritated me #feel free to chime in if you're getting comments like this too #it's been really getting on my nerves lately #and making me not want to post anything #you're not my teacher or editor #and i don't use a beta reader bc i'd never post anything #if i had to think of it as work and not just for me #i already do writing for work where i have to really consider the reader #i also didn't like one commenter pointing out typos #i'll catch them at some point #they were like great chapter! here's all the mistakes i saw #so download the story and fix them yourself if they bother you so much you have to run through and do line edits #if you don't want typos i'd have to wait two to three months so the story looked fresh #to catch them before posting and i'm not doing that #you can think this sounds bitchy but writing is hours and hours of work #i could jot down five sentences just for myself and have a story for years just remembering what i was thinking when i wrote those #you want a perfectly edited story? then go read a professionally published book #oh i guess that's not good enough for you either #okay now i am being bitchy but in my defense #i'm not forcing them to read it

[crybaby-bkg]

the terrible terrible thing about writing slow burn while also trying to keep it under 15 chapters is the constant WORRYING of pacing????? are things going too slow and will it be hard to engage with???? are things going too fast and it feels like rushing??? is a kiss too much 19 chapters in???? I thought it was supposed to be under 15????? who am I here?????????

#I’m writing an original book rn #and no lie it took them 16 chapters to have their first kiss #but also that was like 60k words in omfg #like I KNOW how to do slow burn BUT NOT THAT SLOW FOR FICS!!!!!! #I think this is my first fic with slow burn actually ajdhdjfjd #which is weird bc I only write p*rn so this is STRANGE for me #I love writing this tho!!!! :) #I’m just not sure where to go from here bc I finally wrote chap five #and there’s a small turning point in their relationship but like???? now what????? #how do you write friends???? this is awful sidhdkdjf #idk I have to talk it out with myself lol #it’s just a bit of a struggle since I’m coming up on my last week of school so that’s where my focus is #instead of being creative which sucks #but I’ll have like a two week break which is good so hopefully I can crank out a majority of chapters before the end!!!! #rambling sorry aidhdkdjfj #—in store chit chat! 🍫

[bejeweledmp3]

hey! i saw your “computer how do i stop feeling insecure on my writing” post and wanted to reach out. this might be totally unsolicited advice, but i’m going to say it anyway

first things first: i hear you. i get it. from one writer to another - writing is fucking hard. self-doubt is even harder. just know that there are so many of us that ADORE your kim fic, and we’ll be sticking around regardless of how long it takes to complete. i have complete faith that you’ll do your story justice. at the end of the day, it’s just that - yours. you can’t write it ‘wrong’ - it belongs to you. however you choose to end it is the RIGHT way to end it.

please know that it’s totally normal to have ups and downs; it shows just how much you care about the story that you’ve invested so much time and effort and love into. let yourself feel all the feelings, good and bad - your writing will be better for it. and just know that there’ll be a bunch of us here cheering you on right until the end! you’ve got this! we believe in you! all the love and then some ❤️❤️❤️

this is so so kind thank you so much, know that i've read a million times and it has meant so much to me every time.

and yes, i do think that first of all the fact that i am so very tired from going back to uni *and* working is playing a factor here, and second of all i think i really needed to just. remember where the characters are and why. today i talked a friend through the entire thing and his feedback really made me feel more confident on the story so!!! i can't wait to get back to writing. as soon as i'm not working (so not today 😭😭😭😭😭) and can manage to sleep enough at night. but for real thank you thank you thank you your words mean the world to me

#talking tag; #totp tag; #also fun fact my friend was particularly a fan of the ending (that he said at one point was more of an epilogue; because the fic does have #two different instances you could call endings -or at least climaxes- one in this chapter and one in five) #and it reminded me of why this is so exciting and anxiety inducing at the same time #anyways. i will finish it i will figure it out that's a promise!!!!

[apprenticestanheight]

Oh my god I am frothing at the mouth rn 🫶🏻

I love Sugar Daddy Lawrence

~Sugar Daddy Lawrence Anon

I'm editing the second chapter and I can already say that the sugar daddy lawrence au is one of my favorites ever

thank you so much for bringing the au into my inbox--writing it is a fuckin blast at every turn

#cal talks #lawrence gordon #if I can finish the third and fourth chapters by like--five-ish (two and a half hours from now) #and have a title by that point #the first chapter will go up today

[aparticularbandit]

I don't know if you talked about this already, but that extra scene on Thrall made me go back to Kisses to see if it really was new or i just didn't remembered, and Wanda seemed to skip over the whole thing, as if the kiss never happened

Did Wanda just did this unconsciously and doesn't remember? because that'd be concerning

Or Wanda is just kind of an unreliable narrator? If so, I wonder if there's anything else she just skipped over

And also, does Sarah remember? or just Agatha?

sorry for the silly questions, just something i got fixated on :p

Absolutely no worries! I haven't talked about this (I don't think?), so these are all good questions!

Actually, you have caught the thing!

One of the main things I struggled with when writing Thrall was making myself adhere exactly to what happened in Kisses with no deviations. I found that doing so...really stifled the scenes that we're seeing from Agatha's perspective because they weren't allowed to breathe and be their own thing.

So! While this is probably the biggest deviation from the original, it isn't the first (and it probably won't be the last).

For instance, the entire second chapter is a new addition. Wanda never addresses this, never references it; it isn't important to her the way that it is to Agatha. (In the original, this was me adhering strictly to the WandaVision schedule - that decade only lasted one episode, we saw the entirety of that episode in the show, etc. I gave myself more freedom to deviate in Thrall.) I also added in a new scene in chapter four - Agatha checking, again, to see if Wanda knew what she was doing - and another at the beginning of chapter five.

In most cases, those additions are Agatha focusing on moments that weren't as important to Wanda. In the same way that there are scenes in Kisses that aren't in Thrall - the beginning of seven, for instance, where Wanda learns what Agnes has been doing in Westview while they're still carrying extra stuff Sarah needed them to purchase for the party. This is an important conversation for Wanda. As is the entirety of the conversation of Agnes getting her to stay at Sarah's party - even before the glamification scene. These aren't important conversations for Agatha, so they don't show up.

To be fair, also contextually, these conversations are important from a narrative perspective re: Wanda's relationship with Agatha. They're important for her character development. However, they're not important for Agatha's character journey, so they aren't in Thrall.

But those are additions, not deviations, which is really what you're asking about! (Actually. Rereading your question. This would fall under stuff Wanda skipped over, so you asked about this, too! I'm not as thorough here.)

So. Deviations from the original script. :D

In the third chapter - and again in the sixth - there are moments where Wanda glitches due to the weight of maintaining the Hex. In the show, we see the world glitching around her; in Thrall, Wanda is glitching. She doesn't remember what happens around her during the glitches; Agatha does.

(The third chapter also gives a bit of a mindmeld where Agatha's narrative is exactly the same as Wanda's POV. (It isn't even about Agnes. / (At least, Wanda tells herself that.) / It is about being so horny Wanda would go to town on a hot dog if she'd been given the opportunity.) But this is not what you're asking about. >.>;;;;;)

But chapter three also gives a second kiss where Kisses only gives one. ("I'm stopping," Agatha purrs before kissing her again, much more chastely this time.... / Wanda rubs her finger in circles along Agatha's waist. "No," she murmurs, looking down at her with large green eyes, "you're not...." in Thrall vs. "I'm stopping." / "No, you're not." in Kisses.)

Chapter five has an additional "It's an instinct, the purest form of it, when Agatha curls against her again and wraps her arms gentle around the small of Wanda's waist. "It's okay, hon," she says. "You don't have to--" / "Do you want anything?" Wanda repeats, voice hushed through gritted teeth. Her knuckles grow white. It has Agatha replying to Wanda's request to wear her shirt by telling her "Put it on, dear. You're shivering." instead of bringing up Vision and telling her she's attractive and flirting with her.

Even the conversation leading up to the glamification is different - in Kisses, it's less blatant in terms of the point here is Wanda choosing to trust Agnes because, ironically, Agatha is more subtle and plays naive, but in Thrall, where Agatha constantly narrates how subtle she is, she's not subtle. She literally tells Wanda to trust her, tells her Agnes won't ever hurt her, and then makes a point of pulling out Wanda's insecurities and telling her that she trusts Wanda to not hurt her, even if Wanda says she shouldn't.

In most cases, I would say that the deviation is similar to the additions - things Agatha picks up on that are important to her that aren't for Wanda. How a lot of times when you talk to multiple people about the same event, they remember things differently. Even when you go see a movie with someone, each of you will likely pick up on different scenes or moments, some of the details you might remember differently (I ran into this when I was writing Glass Onion meta - and I distinctly remember having to go back and edit some meta because I'd remembered something wrong). This is basically what you're seeing in these two fics: Wanda and Agatha remember things differently because different scenes or moments are highlighted for them.

In the case of this particular moment, however.

An additional fun thought.

Wanda cuts off the narrative in Kisses. There's an abrupt sort of--

...before she gently presses her thumb on Wanda's lower lip, parting them, and leans forward to-- / The door creaks open....

It's possible that Wanda just doesn't want the reader to know. That's a big fourth wall breaking thought, though, and would require Wanda to have the meta-textual knowledge that someone externally is paying attention to the narrative. (Or at least a subconscious awareness of it.) Similar to how she could rewind and change things in the Hex. The story itself could be a whole other form of Hex.

(That wasn't the intent, but you could read it that way.)

Or, in the moment, Wanda blocking it out of her mind because she's trying very hard to not do anything with Agnes because she's very aware that Agatha is stuck in Agnes and would probably not consent to any of this stuff, which is why drunk!Wanda totally has that entire other scene we haven't gotten to in Thrall yet because being drunk lowers your inhibitions.

Wanda doesn't want to think of herself like that and doesn't want to be like that. Especially in Westview. Where she very unintentionally definitely did a lot of things to people they did not consent to - non-sexually, of course. But she did mind control a lot of people and made them do a lot of things they didn't want to do. And she doesn't want to be that person.

Even if a part of her - as brought up in that scene in Kisses that we haven't gotten to in Thrall yet - absolutely thinks that Agatha deserves it.

BUT YEAH TL;DR - there are a lot of scenes like that and it's mostly prompted by me not wanting to stifle myself by forcing myself to keep everything exactly the same and the different people remember things differently phenomenon that you see play out IRL.

I wouldn't say Wanda's unreliable. She just remembers the events differently. ^^

(I don't know if Sarah remembers or not. The impression is that Wanda rewound time. But she doesn't have that ability without a Time Stone (or outside of the Hex), does she? Food for thought!)

#musings #catsjadey #bandit answers questions #wagatha five times kissed #that's not a firm answer on a lot of your questions #whether wanda did a thing or not; whether sarah remembers #i like leaving those open for interpretation instead of giving a nailed down answer #because it can go either way #but i do want to point out that there are a lot of things that are similar but different across the two #and it's less about whether one is more accurate than the other #and more about agatha and wanda remembering events differently #this will come up again #pretty much in the next chapter this will come up again

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This was meant to be combined with tomorrow's post, but I think it stands better on its own. Contrast Louis being genuine with Phillip, to my earlier post and, yeah, the difference shows.

PS - More on Farrah and her antics later on. She plays a big role in chapter three!

All likes, comments and reblogs are greatly appreciated! Thank you for the support 💜

[IRENE] Oh, honey, your hair.

[PHILLIP] It’s okay, I’ll fix it.

[IRENE] Behave yourself, okay?

[PHILLIP] I will. I promise.

[PHILLIP] Yeah, Dad?

[LOUIS] When your mother was pregnant with you, I was having an affair.

[PHILLIP] I know.

[LOUIS] It had been on and off for years and . . . extremely passionate. I loved her, but she was also my best friend. I had no intention of stopping until . . . until the leak. That’s when things began falling apart. Your mother was eight months pregnant, she was very hurt, but she forgave me. For your sake.

[LOUIS] A few months after you were born, she . . . Farrah, vanished. I was devastated. I tried to find her, never did, and as a result I began to resent you. I couldn’t stand to look at you, I blamed you for my mistakes. I always kept you at arm’s length. The damage that did to you, Phillip, I can’t apologize enough.

[LOUIS] Will you ever be able to forgive me?

[PHILLIP] I’m not sure. I—I’m sorry.

[LOUIS] That’s fine. No matter what, I still love you, son. Okay?

the phantom guardian chapter twenty-five

#ohhhh boy. Ok #if you thought tpg has been philosophical up to this point. We're about to get. My god #the sheer amount of symbolism and beginnings of new narrative themes in this chapter #i just. Man #what if i simply put all my thoughts on the meaning of life #and self worth #and individuality #and the fate of the world vs the fate of the individual #and existentialism #and unconditional love along with its consequences #and the nonexistence of fundamental goodness/badness #and the struggles of what it means to truly know a person #and bridging the gap between conflicting ideals and a desire for closeness #and the importance of bonds with others in the face of adversity #and the necessity of suffering in an imperfect world #into a dynamic between two characters 🤔 what if i did that #idk maybe five medications arent enough for me 😆 but who knows? #tpg

i just remembered that when i first played 3 when i got to yopple-bot's first appearance i was like "i love you. and also you are definitely the boss for this chapter" slkfjdklfjfsklsdfjfskdl-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #yw3 #chapter 6 is great. though also it's the start of hailey not being playable in plot important moments- #she's still plot important even. i mean in new yo-kai city she actually has dialogue during the key quests #unlike buck. who has like two lines of dialogue over all across the like five or however many key quests in chapter 9- #i love the chapters after (and including) chapter 6 because nate hailey n buck being besties is great #but also. i wish you could play as hailey- #she literally goes to bbq why can't you play as her in bbq until the post-game it's so stupid #there's no point to play as her in bbq even. i think she has one or two quests that require going to bbq #meanwhile even in the post-game basically all of nate's quests are in bbq- #idk i get that they wanted to keep them mostly in their respective areas but i feel like they should've given hailey more quests in bbq #and also given nate more quests in springdale #but oh well

Hm, thinking about when I have one or two chapters of hyrules curse out, I'm gonna go back for a bit and work on my dark sbi wip

#im SORRRYYYYYY ive unintentionally neglected it thanks to the back to back heavy hyperfix period #I am going to 100% finish it though. I'm determined and fucking stubborn #and I gen might start posting chapters once I like. get everything written and edited to certain point #I think I have... five prewritten chapters? or six? I'll have to check lmao #anyway this is what happens when you try to dualwield two big writing projects

this chapter of homeward bound has been one of the easiest to write since i started writing the fic, but it’s also gonna be one of the longest so it’s gonna take like four or five more days even with this being my week off from work

#but also its SO good so far #ive written three scenes so far and its at 4k words and i love it a lot #ive only gone through two of the bullet points on my list for this chapter too #i have five more bullet points on my list pffnfnf #this chapter by my estimate is gonna be about 12k words #homeward bound fic #homeward bound
