If I could add one thing to The Quarry it would be
A real epilogue
An option to switch Ryan & Kaitlyn for the last 3 chapters
Another female counselor because why was Laura scheduled for 2 jobs
A Hackett family tree that actually made sense
A picture frame in the drawer under the counselor’s ledger that Dylan can find of an 8-year-old Ryan and Caleb smiling in front of the lodge camp sign, causing Ryan to explain that he asked Chris to put it away during camp but it's usually on his desk with the picture of him and his kids, because MAYBE if they made it a little more explicit just how much Chris and his kids meant to Ryan and how much Ryan meant to Chris then MAYBE every single streamer wouldn't go "is Ryan in on it?" when he expresses concern for and faith in people he loves and MAYBE they would appreciate just how much hurt he goes through when he realizes that faith was misplaced

I think one of the main things that bother me about Alina’s cult becoming so wide-spread, is her whole “Sainthood” is build on a heap of lies.
She’s worshipped because the Apparat spreads a story about her death and resurrection in the Fold, she doesn’t do any miracles (unless you count branding a fanatic and some lightshow), she doesn’t even destroy that fucking Fold! She kills the Darkling, when he’s at his weakest, broken man at that point, and what she decides to do next? Has others fake her death “off screen” and fucks off to live a life sponsored by the Crown.
The Darkling gave her the Stag, the Darkling and Nikolai served the Sea Whip on a golden platter for her, Malyen basically kills himself to get her the third amplifier and even her loss of power and its redistribution isn’t her choice or doing.
Saints are supposed to suffer, okay, but they’re supposed to do something for others by own choice! What did Alina achieve as herself?!
Patron Saint of Orphans and Undiscovered Gifts? Neither is her merit.
I won’t even start about the orphanage ending, payed by bankrupt country. What kind of home can offer broken teenager- who herself needs some serious help to heal- to damaged children? Comfort? How much can give someone, who needs it themselves? Her “not making” Grishenka leave for training clearly shows she can make more damage than good.

Thanks for the quick answer! I'm curious, are you the only person on the zoro project? And is there a way to leave a tip?
I'm the main person doing editing work + putting the whole thing together!
There's also @luci-da, who's been an awesome proof reader and a godsend throughout the alabasta and skypiea revisions 🙏
And no, I'm not really accepting tips/donations for this project, I don't want viz down my back LOL

People who don't know dog body language who have pushy sketchy dogs are so awful to be around. I told our housemates that their dog Klaus doesn't like me when we went out to watch the eclipse earlier today because I didn't want to go in the fenced yard with him out and they were like "oh no he's fine don't worry." When he saw me he charged up to the fence, high flagged tail, snorting and barking and jumping at the fence and they still were like "oh he's friendly, he just wants to smell you, see his tail is wagging". Like my dude... tail wagging does not mean friendly, and what about the noises he's making rn sounds friendly to you?
Selene's sister grabbed him and I thought she was going to take him inside because she acted like she was going to, but instead she stopped halfway and just held him back while I came into the yard and then let him go to run up and sniff me, which he had very stiff body language the entire time he did so. For a while after that he ignored me because of the kids calling him away and was chill, but still kept coming over and sniffing me occasionally and was very tense each time so I just tried to stay calm and sweet talk him and didn't try to touch him to help defuse the situation.
Then I walked a little away from the group to point out a plant in the yard to Selene's mom which was a mistake because once I was out of the little circle we were standing in he started body blocking me, tense face, stiff body, whale eyeing, and then jumping at me and barking. They tried to call him away and were like "oh he's just trying to get you to play, sorry he's so demanding of attention." I started trying to walk toward the gate to leave because he very much was NOT trying to get me to play and I did not feel confident in their ability to control him, and he immediately did it again. And again they tried to call him away. And I got maybe another two steps before he turned right back around and did it again. And they called him away again saying he was just trying to play. Rinse and repeat for a total of like six times of him body blocking me, tense and whale eyeing, and then jumping at me and barking. All while they're just laughing like "Sorry, Klaus just really loves playing". Dudes your dog is actually behaving aggressively toward me right now, please get control over him so I can leave he is NOT TRYING TO PLAY WITH ME.
This is the second time I've been invited into the yard while Klaus was out and the first time they kept telling me the same thing but he was actually following me around growling at me then and they were still like "oh it's just cuz he doesn't know you yet, he'll warm up to you, he's friendly". YOUR DOG IS SKETCHY. I DONT WANT TO INTERACT WITH HIM. HE DOESN'T LIKE ME. PLEASE JUST PUT HIM INSIDE WHEN I'M IN THE YARD WITH Y'ALL. And PLEASE learn some dog body language because nothing about his right now says "friendly" at all!!!!! Not even a little!!!! TAIL WAGGING DOES NOT MEAN FRIENDLY, ESPECIALLY A HIGH FLAGGED TAIL.
