#But i am COMITED now...
Text
It isnt that i didnt see where people were coming from about long fic. The responses about not reading anything really long.
But today i was looking for a nice fanfic to read, and i found a long one that i thought may be interesting. I had to back out before geting to far because it was just... boring.
When ever that happens i have taken to forceing myself to read and figure out why i dont like it. And that brings me to why i think people balk at high word counts.
It was boring because it had to many words. To much was said with 5 or even more sentences when it could have been 2 or just left out completely.
I am aware what i have now on my story likely needs to be cut and combined in places.
That there are to many of the wrong words. Places where more descriptions are needed and places where characters get stuck in their own heads.
But despite being at almost 150k words i am actually trying to keep it short.
The problem is i am focusing on charicter development, and well there is so so much there and it is slowing me down lol.
Hopefully what i end up with will not be boring. I plan on asking my beta readers to mark where it drags so i can fix it. But i would rather not bore my friends and make them regret agreeing to this 🤣
#ff6 project#Seriousy i got my friends on board before it got so long#One has played the game and is a fanfic author#The other has never played it but writes#Then there is my mom who was the one who taught me to write and had some self published stuff like 20years ago#My mother also doesnt play games so i only really got one beta that can check for game stuff#But since this is kinda a test run for writing original fiction 2 betas from out of the fandom will probably help#I asked my dad but he just kinda looked at me and was like 'uh... i dont really like to read?' Which was the answer i expected 🤣#But he played the game way way back#We played together#Omg if i realized this was going to be such a large project i probably wouldnt have started#But i am COMITED now...#I have been pleasantly surprised my ADHD has been on board for this long#But like. I have always loved to write

everytime i see something about tuvix i am filled with inhumane rage ngl
#trek thoughts#shut the fuck UP about tuvix#i'm unconvinced anyone genuinely cared about him or wanted him to live#my conspiracy theory is that the “janeway bad because she killed tuvix” thing was started by weak little men who didn't like there being#a female captain#i can't prove this but i believe it firmly and i if someone brings up tuvix to me i will kill them with the same amount of hesitation with#which janeway killed tuvix#Read: none#so what if she killed him? if my best friend was fused into a different entity and I had to choose between her or stupid smug little tuvix#creature i'd take the creature out back and shoot it with not a moment to spare#also tuvix is fucking annoying i'm not sorry#he's a smug little bastard and I hate him and want to bite him so bad#i hate him so much and i am a lover at heart it is rare for me to hate but i hate that bastard#star trek captains have done FAR worse than this but will people shut the fuck up about him? NO#he's been dead for years get over it losers#remember when janeway made a deal with the borg? now THAT was fucked up (love her for it tho) if you're going to critizise my wife at least#do it for the actual crimes she comitted#she was right to kill tuvix#but seriously i had heard tons about tuvix before watching the episode and when i finally did i was like ??? this is what people were cryin#about??? thought it would be a bigger deal lmao

this wasn't a recent dream, but I don't think I ever posted about the one I had where they might be giants were playing an in-store concert at a bookshop/supermarket, which was somehow 2024 and 2004 at the same time.
I could hear them playing and even see the band a little whenever I craned my neck above the bookshelves and crowd, but no matter where I walked, I couldn't find my way through the maze of aisles to actually get to where they were.
#dream diary#I've had like 3 stress dreams now involving supermarkets#I don't even find the supermarket scary#ok maybe a little scary when I get to the self checkout (and they've got those cameras now ew)#and I'm looking around at everyone like hm am I somehow making a mistake despite having shopped many times before#am I comitting any grocery faux pas somehow. am I being a person correctly is this how everyone scans their groceries#but the shopping part is fine

every day i wake up, remember how dark the world we live in is and with each passing day grow to hate those in power and wealth a little more. i think this overwhelming sense of dread and anger is what doesn't let me close myself off inside my own head entirely. "may a flood come after me for i don't care" is a motiff most seem to be operating on these days. disgusting.
#grozenrant#slightly tipsy and very sad about political assasinations and the literal genocide my country is comitting#god i fucking hate my life but if i wont fix this shit i dont think anyone can#im looking for a university in a country that will give me a visa#(because i earned a prison sentence for prison domestically and am considered a terrorist threat in most of the eu lol!!! lmao!!!)#and that will not end up rejecting me because of my nationality#that also has a politics and journalism course#god i just cant sit still can i i just want to get killed for my political views now dont i#being alive is kinda dogshit :_) i was promised it'd be fun but its actually nonstop pain

cellbit stuck on a costumer service job post prison and having not great therapy and being like ugh. ugh. trying to 'make it up to people' and get better while not disclosing he's done actual murders because he would not be free if he did.
He roomed with Felps for a bit but then he found this very cheap place to live in and he just got that job and he knew Felps is not taking him changing seriously and was probably still doing bad shit that could get him in trouble. And he does want to keep having the somehow friendly relationship he has with Pac and Mike now, so.
He goes to check it out, and it's cheap it's very small but he's lived in worse places. If he feels there's something off about the residents and if the meat they cook tastes just like human flesh that's surely his own imagination right? if his hot new neighbour Roier sometimes has an odd look on his face or says strange things that's probably Cellbit projecting that he somehow knows about his past and is seeing right through him, RIGHT?
#sfh AU#WATCH STRANGERS FROM HELL PLS PLS PLS PLS#i thnk pac and mike and cellbit first meet up again bc they run into each other and have a solidarity moment of being runaways who had to#build everything back up and Pac had been feeling guilty about cellbit 'dying' too. and also cellbit had found a baby kitty and was taking#care of it and i think this makes both of them surprised idk there's some kind of richas equivalent that makes them think he is trying.#but anyway i won't derail into those sorry i am celltw at heart always#cellbit being made much worse by the job and then the house#only able to self soothe by having murder fantasies: I'M SO NORMAL I'M SO NORMAL I'M SO NORMAL#evil hot roier: ;)#(prev description applies to the MC of sfh I'm telling you get on this show)#i think the way to do this is that cellbit thinks having people who care for you and comitting atrocities are exclusory (which they are for#normal people)#so in prison he didn't 'want' or need anybody but almost dying made him realize he was lonely and he did want people and he was genuinely#hurt by tazercraft's betrayal etc. but he can't be himself and have that. so he starts to control himself and focus on trying at having a#normal life bc maybe he just never got a chance at it and maybe he'll be happy with it. but he's not fully#and roier's gonna show him you can have a ride or die while still being a serial killer who liks to eat people. love is love etc#they still keep up with tazercraft after. maybe at some point they find out but they get them to see that they're family now and that#Cellbit & Roier wouldn't hurt them specifically which imo I think they'd be ok with mostly#bagi's not in this bc i don't know how to have her there without . her getting hurt. maybe they meet her later after they're a thing#like in canon#i also think the idea of cellbit writing crime novels starting as a way to control himself but wth help from sugar daddy roier doing more#and being successful bc he 'really gets into the mind of the killers' is . lol.

WIBTA if i tell my thesis coordinator, about one of my groupmates lack of comitment?
I want to start saying english is not my first language, and give some over all info. I am writing this on the 28th of November, 2023, a Tuesday. I am a Game Design major.
Ok, so i am doing my thesis work, and for what we thought it was going super well!
We have 5 members in our group, me, the game designer, 2 artist (M and B) and 2 programers (A and P).
As I said I thought things were going fine, we had a dead line for monday, yesterday as I am writing this, and we planned to have everything done by Sunday, with monday being a playtest by 3 people or so.
Both artists had all tasks done by wednesday and friday, and both were helping me with formating the big game design document 194 pages long baby! Wich got done by saturday night. However, I got informed by P that there were some issues with the code for the game, and they were gonna try and fix it by monday afternoon. It comes monday and i try and talk to both programers to get info on the game, and A tells me he can't talk cuse he is to busy and that he needs me to write the conclusion of our thesis paper. I found it weird that he asked me that now, since he said the writing was done on June! I believed that we only had to add some in game screenshots, but I write it the conclusion without any arguments.
Anyway, me and the other 2 artists get in a call to check the prsentation slides, and M says she has something important to talk about. B joins and the truth comes out. M explains that A has been doing another persons thesis coding work, not helping, but doing it entirely! We were super surprised and she asks us to not tell anyone else, and says this has been going on for a while, and she did confront A about it a week back, and he promissed he wasn't gonna work on the other guys project. Turns out he did work on it mutiple times, and even filmed the walktrough of the game for the guy. As I am writing this, A has told her he was working on this today.
Before we continue with this mess, I want to explain how M has found this out. A few months back A did tell her he was helping this other guy out with the code, he is a good programer and this dude is doing the thesis by himself, so she didn't think much of it, but a few weeks back, when she was asking A to implement some assets she had finished, he said he was to busy with Guy's project to do it. At this point she realised how much he was involved, and let me tell you, M knows how to extract information, she now knows A is also being PAID for it, he guy owns 500 bucks to A from what I gathered, besides what has alredy been paid. ANYWAYS let's get back to this mess.
I was so tired I couldn't even really react, and just did what I had to do that day, by this point I gathered we wouldn't be able to do the playtest, and write the thesis conclusion acordingly. Around 10 PM the programers tell me the game still has a few glitches but they have uploaded it to the google drive, and i do a one over and send in the file for avaluation.
I spent today mostly relaxing, reading and watching some videos, but around 7pm i am consumed by the anger and betrayel i couldn't feel yesterday, and I talk to B about what happened
We agreed we had to confront M about the situation, and since me and B were not supposed to know about it, she had to talk to A. She said she alredy did, and told us that A was planing on talking to everyone on the next meeting (tomorrow), however, i argue that P needs to know beforehand, since this situation is horrible and he could lash out if A just dropped this on him, us 3 agree and invite P to the group.
Turns out A has told P about it today, but he was so tired from the past few days, he had no energy to react.
We talked a lot, and we agreed we need to talk to our coordinator about this hole mess, wich is probably gonna happen the following days.
So, WIBTA for airing this mess?
What are these acronyms?

sorry if this is kind of a dumb question, but what do you think is a good way to develop the actual plot of a story you have a loose idea of? i've basically had a bunch of characters, themes, concepts and pivotal moments held together with bubblegum and tape in my head for almost a year now, and i am really passionate about these characters and ideas, but have like a mental blockage when it comes to actually arranging them together and coming up with an actual narrative to put them in. it's weird bc i really wanna do something with them, but it's like my brain is scared of comitting to an idea that might not hold up to the maybe overly-grand expectations i've built up over this time for an actual story
I think that first of all, you need to come to terms that the finished product will most likely not be what you planned. And that's okay! You'll realize when you start to put pieces together that sometimes the themes you thought of and the scenes you're fond of, may not make it to the final story. Your readers will not know that unless you make your thought process public so don't beat yourself over the head. Your script and story changing is a natural part of the process, you just need to know when to stop picking on it and let it be.
I start by putting my ADHD daydreams onto paper. Everything I think of ends up in a folder, no matter how stupid or incomprehensible the idea might be. Put a pin in that, I'll come back to it later.
I'm sure you've seen this diagram or something similar before.
Almost all stories have a conflict and climax, yes even those you think are boring and slow. I'll start by mapping out the conflict of the entire story first. What are my protagonists struggles? Who are they struggling against? Once I have that figured out, I'll think of the resolution. What happens in the end? Is it happy? Sad? Bittersweet? Will they succeed in overcoming this conflict? Partially? Not at all? Talking about overcoming the conflict, what happend at the height of the story? Is it a big action scene? An epiphany? An argument between characters? Once we have that settled, what can lead up to that climax? Now this is the fun part. Remember that folder with all the possible daydreams? Let's lay them out there and put a question mark on them. You can narrow them down as you start thinking about what makes sense in context of your climax and what doesn't. Finally, the beginning of your story (and the inciting incident). How does it start? What makes sense in this context? In the middle of the story? At the very beginning? What triggers the conflict? What will you be exploring? What will keep the audience on their toes?
Once I have that figured out, I'll start to individually brainstorming possible chapter scenarios. I'll plan out a plot structure for the chapters, etc etc. Rinse and repeat.
Tadaaaa ~ before you know it you have the first draft of a book! Now you can narrow it down even more, and pick on what does or doesn't fit! Enjoy!

A Beginner's Guide to Writing in High Valyrian
written for @hotd-bigbang Summer 24 event
High Valyrian is a head-final, pro-drop language. What does that mean? Head-final means that the "main" part of the phrase comes last. In a sentence with a verb, that means that the main verb comes last. Pro-drop means that subject pronouns- the person or thing performing said main verb- tend to be dropped. Instead, they are implied by the verb form. Pronouns can be used, but only for emphasis.
Consider "Nyke Daenerys Jelmāzmo hen Targārio Lentrot, hen Valyrio Uēpo ānogār iksan. — I am Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, of the blood of Old Valyria." Now that's emphasis. "Iksan" already means, "I am", but I am Daenerys! Otherwise, try to avoid pronouns. However, if the subject is clarified, then you use the nominative form of the noun. For example:
Onjapossa ipradas: "He is eating carrots." vs.
Anne onjapossa ipradas. — The horse is eating carrots.
Now I've introduced different word forms! With nouns, this is called "declining," and with verbs, this is called "conjugation. If you've ever learned a Romance language, these terms might be familiar to you. This also means that you can be a little freer with word order, though the main verb should remain last.
Nouns have 8 cases, determining what role they take in the sentence.
Nominative (the subject of the sentence)
Accusative (the object of the sentence)
Genitive (possessives, commonly translated as "of")
Dative (the indirect object, also commonly translated as "to" or "for")
Locative (location or time, commonly translated as "in". Also used for the object of the 3 prepositions)
Instrumental (the instrument, or "by means of")
Comitative (accompaniament. In some words, the instrumental and comitative are merged, so you can translate as "with)
Vocative (Addressing someone directly)
Nouns also have 4 numbers, determining how many of the noun is being referred to:
Singular
Plural
Paucal: some, a small number (in some cases, this is treated as plural when it comes to matching adjectives or verbs)
Collective: all, a totality (in some cases, this is treated as singular when it comes to matching adjectives or verbs)
There are also 4 genders in High Valyrian. These, as well as the declension of the word, indicate how the form of the word changes when the case and number change. On the High Valyrian Dictionary, which is hosted by David J. Peterson, the creator of the language, you can click on each noun entry to get a table of how each noun looks for each case/number, like this one for ēdrurys, a 2nd declension solar noun meaning "dream".
Adjectives that describe said nouns must match in case/number/gender, so take note of what gender your noun is before you consult the adjective table.
Verbs have 3 moods, 2 voices, and 7 tenses. Just as with the nouns, you can use the tables linked on the dictionary entries to find the correct forms for each entry.
Indicative mood means that the statement has happened. This is the standard form. The Subjunctive mood means that the statement has NOT happened (this includes negative sentences, hypotheticals, uncertain events, or wishes) The imperative mood means that it is a command. Note that this indicates that the verb is in 2nd person, and if you are ordering someone to do something, then that address should be in the Vocative form. Active Voice indicates that the subject is the one performing the action, while the passive voice indicates that the subject is the one being acted upon. Now, here are the seven tenses:
Present tense (events happening currently)
Aorist tense (statements about general truths or facts and events that usually or always occur. You may be tempted to put some declarations here, however, the aorist tense is very rare and has the sense of being very pompous)
Future (things that will occur)
Imperfect (things that were ongoing in the past. "was X-ing)
Perfect (things that were completed prior to the present)
Pluperfect (things that happened before a past moment. "Had X-ed)
Past Habitual (things that occured generally or repeatedly for some past period)
Now that you have the basics, how do you translate? Break down the sentence in English first: what are you trying to say? Here's an example:
Azantys ohīlvoso taobe idakos! — The knight is attacking the boy with a dagger!
Azantys is in the nominative singular form. The knight is performing the action. Ohīlvoso is in the intrumental singular form. The subject is using the dagger to perform the action. Taobe is in the accusative singular form. The subject is performing the action to the boy. Idakos is in the 3rd person singular present active indicative form. The subject, who is a singular actor and neither the speaker nor the listener, is presently attacking someone.
There we have it! A basic sentence. Please understand that High Valyrian and English are DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. You will not always be able to translate directly from English to High Valyrian. Don't be afraid to have your more literal meaning in HV, then a more poetic or complicated one in English. This even happens in official dialogue! For example:
"Avy ēdruliot ilzīlza." He will bore you senseless.
(Literally: "He will put you in the dreamland.")
When using the dictionary, no need to be literal or exact. Remember that it's probably easier for you to change what's being said in English than in Valyrian. Be okay looking up synonyms to find within the entries, but make sure to read those entries carefully to get an idea of the "sense" of the word, as well as any notes on how they're used. For example, some verbs mean different things if the noun attached them is in the accusative (object), or dative (indirect object) form.
These are the basics! You can learn more about grammar here, and there's a Discord server for High Valyrian learners here. You can run your translated sentences by other High Valyrian language learners! I also have a HV Cheat sheet here which might also help you.

MY THOUGHTS FOR EP 10
OK SO THE CASEMENT
It introduced us to mr bonzo and the Tv presenter and was pretty good for a backstory of what happened uh and suspicious murders :000
I don’t really have much to say that isn’t gonna come back in his actual appearance
Colin
Surprisingly isn’t dead but is still investigating stuff and by the sounds of it against the others wishes. Also he’s not supposed to be back by what he said to Celia so he’s going against Lena’s orders which should be fun
THE INSTITUTE
Ok so
They found a key
That leads to the tunnels I’m assuming by the sound of the trap door opening and the hole in the floor
Sam sounds like he’s finally “given up” on the institute or has atleast to Alice
But
He let something out
And the glitchy breath sounded a lot like Jon’s voice in 200 when he’s the pupil so
IS JON IN THE TUNNELS?!!?! Also TAPERECORDER?!??! THERE WAS A TAPE RECORDER!!!! WHAT
WHAT
So we know that whatever’s listening can listen through anything now
TV’s, computers, security cameras, phones and tape recorders
Mr bonzo
Probably shouldn’t done the institute after but yeah
Poor Gwen
Thought he was gonna kill her
SO MR BONZO DEFINITELY COMITTED THOSE RECENT MURDERS RIGHT?
And he’s in control of Nigel and this isn’t the first time the OIAR has given letters
And by the sound of “this could’ve gone worse” mr bonzo has probably killed or attacked people from there before
Very scared
The first time an episode from either series has properly scared me with mr bonzo so
Gwens terrified so am I
It’s mr bonzos house now
#tmagp#the magnus protocol#mr bonzo#gwen bouchard#Colin isng dead!!!!#tmagp spoilers#tmagp theory#tmagp thoughts#tmagp ep 10#the Magnus protocol episode 10
