The problem with wanting to watch a lot of horror movies is that you do have to subject yourself to the bad ones. That’s also a positive of it though. But watch out

Hi, I noticed in your mythical ttte au, Emily and Thomas's age gap is.. Really big! He's 19 and she's like 30+? I don't quite remember. Are they dating in that au? No hate, btw! Hope you take this kindly! :3
I think you’re referring to @thestrangeverse versions of my designs. Thomas being a Fae and Emily a witch.
No. Obviously they’re not together. He’s 19 and she’s 30, thats all kinds of shit I don’t want to unpack here but I wouldn’t in my right mind design or ship something like that. Those versions of my designs are also not an ‘AU’ so to speak, my normal grey skinned designs are my TTTE AU (Sodor516).
To answer your question in the simplest way, Emily and Thomas are a ‘thing’ in my Sodor516 AU where they don’t have ‘ages’ and are more or less levelled on that regard. Anywhere else they’re not.

kingdom hearts gets such a bad rep for being overly complicated or hard to follow but its REALLY not that bad. ppl have to realise:
anyone who's like "theres SOO many games" and shows a too huge list is misleading. there are a lot of rereleases and repackages under special titles but when you look at the actual games it isnt that many
90% of disney involvement can be ignored, just think of it like "themes" for the different levels
that being said, it DOES operate on disney magic logic. epic and magical things happen because they just do. don't try to overthink the magic mechanics you'll frustrate yourself. (i think this is where most of the "it doesnt make sense" comes from)
there really isnt much retconning. i can only really think of one really minor one. sometimes the writing can be sloppy but this doesnt make it more difficult to understand unless u nitpick it
yeah it definitely CAN be complicated, theres a huge cast of characters and it takes place over a long period of time, but it isnt impossible to follow, just pay attention and its fine

Come to smallville! We have:
a car crash every episode of the first two seasons!!
Characters personalities and niches flip flopping for DRAMA!!,
BAD WRITING.
Oddly good writing?
Clark being treated unfairly by his friends!! For plot!!
Clark being genuinly a nice guy like 90% of the time but tbh he's kinda flat
Bisexual tension???
14 year Olds being played by 30 year olds!! Wich is funny whenever it's brought into context of the show ( lana owning her own business at 14 and driving a car, Lionel luthor chasing after these kids like a scooby doo villan)
'Our freindship will be the stuff of LEGENDS!!'
Where is my wife lois lane?? Where is she??? Just you wait she shows up in season 4 !!! Just wait!!!
Half of the student body are murderers!! Because plot???
Pretty much everyone in smallville knows Clark's secret at this point tbh. They HAVE to. Come on. Super powerd 15-30 year old COME ON!!
REALLY good side characters that are NEVER UTILLIZED!!!

closed starter for: @sxlcst muse: wyatt. plot: based on a point 6 and 11.
it wasn't abnormal for odessa's family to drag her away on trips. her mom was dead and gone. her dad's family liked try to cover up how much of an alcoholic he father was so they always took her unwillingly on trips. ' let's get away for awhile! '
it was then as she put her clothes away in the drawers, the moon had gone into full view of the sky. it shined between the pine trees, giving but little breaks of light into her room. she's lucky she didn't have to spend her weekend with cousins. ugh, she couldn't stand them. odessa was a hard worker, but she didn't want to have to baby sit all weekend just so the parents could have some tipsy fun.
humming, she walks down the stairs and into the kitchen where she grabbed a cup of hot coffee and inhaled the bitter smell before taking a long swig. what a weekend this will be. she thinks as thunderstorm rolls in, letting lightning flash around the cabin unknowing of what could possibly lay waiting in the bushy tree lines.

yknow this upd8 made me realize just how deprived of homestucks usual storytelling style weve been. the original comic had so much foreshadowing in various forms (like “you cant be future ___ because of xyz!” or the longcon foreshadowing of jake through jade having a mysterious penpal) and hs2 just had like. none of that. no mysterious future things being referenced that hang over you for sometimes thousand of pages until the dots connect and give you that ohhhhh moment. just purely “this is whats happening right now.” we need the weird time fuckery both in canon and in terms of how the story is presented to us again

Me: I don't like Sci-fi, space operas, or fantasy. Me: *sees fanart of some characters* Oh these look cool. I wonder why their arm looks like that. Why is that one person dressed in skull attire? I keep seeing these guys everywhere, let's get the book on Audible what could possibly go wrong? Book: *Sci-fi fantasy novel in space* Me:
Tumblr media
#the fanart didn't give the impression of any of these TT0TT#maybe like modern fantasy...which I guess this is more 'future fantasy' but ahhh#silly talks#dazed lost confused#naked in the woods i am#where am i what's going on????#i think the 'houses' are based off our solar system#there's so many fucking names too many fucking names TT0TT I'm listening in a car while driving I CANT KEEP LOOKING UP FUCKING NAMES#I may have printed out the list of names that literally listed at the beginning beCAUSE I CANT REMEMBER ALL THE FUCKING NAMES TT0TT#I had to re-listen to the first 4 chapters twice because I was confused *sobs*#who are you people#MC funny tho she says curse words....I can understand curse words and the character work so that's good#turns out it might be a murder mystery? Annnnnd we've looped back around to a genre I'm cool with#literally had no idea what the plot was but "uhh competition between families/clans? Maybe?' TT0TT#i'm liking it? now that I kinda know what's going on#apparently the other books might have more mystery? I'm down for that I guess#i really need to look at what I'm about to get sometimes TT0TT But monkey brain was like 'oooo i like the art/chars looks lets do it!' TT0T#fun fact dipshit me bought another fantasy (I think it's high fantasy) too so fuck me I guess#look at me expanding my horizons!#anyway I thought this would be a funny 'point and laugh at silly' considering my stance on these things#let's see if anyone can figure out what i'm talking about based on what little i've given you to work off of laksdjflkajf;a#mistakes were made....but at least this looks like a happy mistake#and i might make a custom nendo of one of those jackasses klfjdalksjfas#i was NOT vibing with the prose the first time through. TT0TT but I think i got a handle on it now mannnn#this is so outside my wheelhouse orz#i was expecting MAYBE some fantastical elements but not high fantasy (i don't think it is??? maybe more modern??? post apocalyptic future?-#-ahhh another genre i care not for klfajdslkjf) but the space thing THREW ME FOR A FUCKING LOOP! that was a blindside! TT0TT)#i heard the 2nd book is a bit of a mind fuck......now THAT'S something I'm invested in 030

probably youve had someone ask you this before, but any advice for when you really want to know what happens next in the thing youre writing but when you sit down to actually write all thoughts flee your head?
Hi hi hi,
Provided that like writer's block / burnout isn't going on (which can both cause this phenomenon and frankly both need quite different approaches to deal with), I have a few things I do to tackle the sort of 'I want to know what happens next but when I sit down all the thoughts go.'
I daydream pretty excessively about what's coming next. I actually think that's a crucial part of my process, and sometimes I'll even kind of verbally act out some of the lines etc. If I like the way something feels or sounds, I'll put little sentences or half-sentences down in the Notes app on my phone. Even if I don't remember everything exactly, it gives me something to go on. :D
If I have lots of different ideas, I'll write the two or three that I like the most in point format. Sometimes all the thoughts vanish because you're putting so much pressure on yourself to find the exact right thing to write, and it's really important to kind of learn how to gently quieten the perfectionist - because that's a Perfectionist voice - and perfectionism is the enemy of creativity. So if you sit down like 'what do I do next I have all these thoughts oh god what one is the right one none of them feel right I have to find the right one,' that's a trap. I think we all get that anxiety (or some of us do), and it comes in like a false compass, convincing us that there is only one path to what comes next. And that's not true. There's a thousand things you can choose, including the one that's easiest, the most fun, the most interesting to you, the most curious, the most dramatic, the most anxiety-provoking etc.
Notepad and pen, or Notes app, whatever it is, it can be worth jotting down the thoughts outside of 'writing time.'
Don't write what comes next as soon as you sit down if you don't know what comes next, write the bit you can imagine or think of. Write something that you can imagine happening a bit later, maybe even in the same chapter. I can't tell you how many chapters I've started about 'two pages in' and then go back and fill in the beginning. And remember, if you can write something in the future, that's still something you can use for your story anyway, so the writing session was still productive!
Use the tools around you to get back into the feel of the story. Sometimes the thoughts go because you might not be in your character's head-space, or you might not be feeling the setting of your story. I liberally use playlists to deal with this issue, because music helps me get into a character space, a chapter space, an emotion space. You might need complete silence, or you might need to reread a section of your writing, or the chapter that went before. Let the story tell you where it needs to go next:
Often, based on what you have set up, your characters will only have a certain number of paths they can go in that will make the most sense for where they're at psychologically and emotionally. Or basically 'how Peter feels will make him decide what he wants to do next.' Another version is 'Peter feels like this because this is what the plot is doing to him.' Your characters are reacting and acting throughout their entire 'lives' in your story, so sink into what you know of them - are they reacting to the plot right now? Are they acting as the plot right now? Is it a mix? Sometimes the thoughts disappearing can be what I think of as me trying to impose something that doesn't quite work on the characters, because I've stopped listening to them or because I've imagined something for them that doesn't fit yet. While not everyone is as character driven as I am, the whole 'what is my character doing, what does my character want, what does this mean re: what happens next' helps so much when I sit down and have no idea what to write next.
And finally, this is something I think a lot of writers would benefit from who struggle to 'get started': Don't end your writing sessions when you feel 'finished.' Leave a paragraph or sentence half done, that has an easy ending. This way when you sit down to do your writing session next, your mind will reach for that ending (or a version of it) and you'll immerse back into the story a lot faster than starting fresh with a new sentence or paragraph. This can be a really successful exercise for some people. 'Finish before you finish' basically.
Okay I think that's a good start. There's definitely more tools that can be added to your toolkit if this is an issue. It's also worth sitting down and asking if you're burnt out and/or experiencing other structural issues with the story. During part of Falling Falling Stars where the pace had previously been slower (the Forest arc) I realised we were way closer to the end than I thought and resisted it, trying to keep that slower pace. I had a lot of writer's block around then, and a lot of my ideas 'vanished' because there was a deeper urge to do justice to the story by picking up the pace and closing it off sooner than I expected.
Obviously I don't know what's going on, but it never hurts to have more tips / tools to deal with 'all my thoughts disappeared what do I write next.' Personally, I think the story and characters will tell you, if you give them to time to talk to you, but I'm weird that way.

man knowing that there are parents out there controlling what their kids watch and read is. wild to me. like as soon as i was able to read subtitles i was sitting in the living room with my family watching whatever the fuck my parents wanted to watch. the first tv series i watched was sopranos i think, to the point its been long enough that i dont remember a lot of it. like. i feel im at the opposite side of the spectrum there
