#because it's awesome
Note
I'm the anon who send about ons writing, thanks for answering i wasn't expecting since it's been so long. I agree with all your & slacky's points however I don't see it getting better as kagami don't seem to write to tell a story but to make money. I don't want to see rest of cast get butchered or become background cutouts anymore (that phsyicaphy hurts) si I decided to not continue here on. Btw to the point what X series you were talking about? I want to try it :D
Sorry again 🙏 It took me some time to get the strength and inspiration to reply to it. So welcome back.
I don't think that the reason for the current writing is solely making money. Though I also heard that a lot of times from within the fandom and there is some truth in it. But as a writer myself, I have experienced similar situations and can think of a lot of reasons why the writing is like that apart from solely making money.
I don't want to go into too much details as this would be really long, but in short, the problem is not knowing where to go and losing touch with the story and therefore the motivation to write.
In writing this can be described as a writer's block. It's a state where you can't be creative and don't know what to write. You lose the motivation and there are multiple reasons why you get it. The three main reasons for me are:
an irritation in the plot you haven't fixed yet and seem to not be able to fix
Losing touch with the story - because of the irrigation or because you haven't written in a longer time period
Mental health issues in general, like stress and depression
a combination of all of the above
The reasons can be even more complex but of your an author and suffering from it, it's essential to find out what is causing it because it's stopping you from writing. Or more precise; from writing good.
If you write in the state of a writer's block and this state was not cause only by not writing for a long time, the result just won't be good. Because you are forcing yourself to produce something without being creative. Without feeling it. And if you, the author, don't feel it, how should the reader?
I can imagine, a writer's block must be horrible for a professional writer that has to write in order to basically keep his job. The only way to get a stable income is to write frequently. And as Kagami quit writing all his light novel series (most probably because of writer's block), he might be dependent on the manga to continue at least.
Of course, I can only speculate, but I am sure that it's not to make money but because Kagami just isn't able to write any better at the moment. I don't know the reasons, I can only guess.
And my one of my guesses would be: Covid-19
Though the struggle started before Covid came and changed everyone's life, it seems to be a huge part of the problem.
He's writing a lot about it in his afterwords and I feel that it changed his way of life and how he responds to things. Maybe it's because he's getting less in touch with other people or lost sight of friends and colleagues. Or the whole situation affected him in a different way.
The way people deal with difficult situations is different around the world and in Japan. And by that I mean, that Japanese tend to avoid inconvenience and therefore rather don't want to remind people of current events in stories. We hear Kagami talking a lot about "in those times we have to stand together" and this sadly reflects on his story. In a situation where we readers want conflict, he's making the story all happy-go-lucky.
One other reason might of course be that now that the story is in need of tying the storylines together, it doesn't work out like planned and that can be frustrating. And the only way out is to talk to people. An author will never be able to find the best solution only by themselves. They can find a very good one, but the best plots and ideas will only be born if you talk to people. And this seems to have suffered a lot in case of this story. But again, we sadly don't know why.
So. Whatever caused the writer's block in the first place, the only way out is, to overcome it. And I see hints that Kagami is slowly reconnecting with the story. Mainly in him writing Twitter posts again. A writer that is excited about their own work is the first step in the right direction. And we see more plot points making some sense (my standards got really low by now).
But I can also understand if you say you will stop. I would like to stop as well sometimes and then I remember how much effort I already put into this and then I can't. I'm still curious if the story will be able to turn around and gain my interest again. And if all of this mess will make some sense in the end... Maybe there is an explanation though most probably I will have to find it myself.
And now for the commercial break...
Good that you ask 😁 I didn't think about explaining as I have been posting a bit about it. But as it's my favorite series of all times, I'm happy to explain it a bit.
You can find it easier if you are looking for X 1999 or X/1999. It's a dark fantasy manga by CLAMP and has two adaptations. And anime and a movie.
What I love about it, is that it has everything I look for in a story. It has a good mystery plot about the end of the world, a lot of characters which play their individual and important roles, a lot of cool and sometimes brutal and gory action and most importantly, in the end it's a story about the character's relationships with each other and human relationships in general.
I don't even know what made me fall in love with the series in the first place, but part of it might have been the sexual under overtones between the main leads. Though the tension is never resolved, it still gets me every time. Damn.
Though the manga is gorgeous and just love 💕, it might not be the best start into the series as it takes its time to build up the plot. Also the style at the beginning is still very rough. It gets more and more beautiful throughout the series but you will have to survive 5-6 volumes first. Nevertheless the artwork is still breathtaking also in the old style and is even more impactful if you are reading it as a physical copy. Also the manga was sadly never finished. But it's worth the ride. The way is so much more important than the goal.
Still, it might be easier to start with the anime. It mainly follows the manga just that they rearranged some of the plot points to fit the pacing of a TV series. Though it cut out a lot of the gore which in my opinion, is essential for the impact of the story. And it also cut a lot of the gayness and the bonding of the characters. Oh and the soundtrack is awesome! And it has an ending.
The movie was made really early. And you can watch it, but more as an addition to the manga and anime.
So please, read the manga. It's absolutely awesome. 🥹
And if you can't find your way into the manga, watch the anime first later find out what you missed in the way. Give it a try ☺️

I think the reason conservatives hate environmentalism so much is that all the terminology is too friendly and lame sounding to take seriously. I purpose we change the following terms to get these people on our side.
Solar powered -> Plasma charged
Wind power -> Vortex energy
Electric vehicle -> Lightning machine
Renewable resource -> Infinity asset
Greenhouse gasses -> Death Clouds
Global warming -> Property devaluation
Environmentalists -> Wilderness cops
For example, saying you're a wilderness cop that drives a lightning machine powered by infinity assets to reduce death clouds and increase your property value sounds 100x more macho than the alternative.

Phil: I should– probably shouldn't say this, but like, I'm gonna say it anyways because it makes me– makes me happy like, thinking about it. I have like, a whole origin story of my character like, planned out. And I don't know when I'm gonna get to share it with everyone, I don't know when I'm gonna get to share that. But like, I think about it almost daily now. [Laughs] I think about it almost daily. It's a problem. It's a problem. I need to start writing it down, 'cuz it's just- it's just swirling in my head, and I keep listening to the same songs that I think would go really well with it. They are heavily copyrighted, unfortunately. [Laughs] So... I'm like this close to pulling the trigger and commissioning some artists and animatic like, makers to just do it.
Phil: [Reading chat] "Ask Wolfy, and they'll just make you Minecraft Jesus." That's true, Wolfy is all about just making various different like, Jesus religion-related animations at the minute. So... if I wanted to become Jesus, I go to Wolfy. "Hey Wolfy mate, so I know you're a big fan of these guys, these old guys from the Bible and stuff, but what about– what about– [Laughs] What about me? Wanna do– wanna do another one? [Laughs] Wanna do a Creature 2?" But just like, super- super biblical– [Laughs]
Phil: What a crazy ask. Crazy sentence, crazy ask, Jesus Christ.
#QSMP#Philza#Phil#March 11 2024#Including the bit about Wolfy because if you don't know them you should#absolutely awesome artist#Their Creature animation is actually what finally made me start watching Phil

Danny goes on Vacation and leaves his job to his Co-workers
So! Danny hasn't had a break from his Hero Career since the day he turned into a Ghost. He has been constantly fighting battle after battle against his worst enemies one after the other.
Even after joining the Justice League, he didn't really have a chance to take a break. He never really asked for help because it didn't seem like a big enough deal to bother them with. He just kept on working.
Until the day he accidently mentioned this to one of his Co-workers, and they practically Force him to take a Vacation.
He has been fighting Crime, nearly every single day since he was 14, with at most a day or two in between battles for all that time, and he is now entering his 20's. They are horrified that he never asked them for help, no matter how easy the job may have been.
After a while of convincing him, they eventually get him to agree to tale a Month-Long Vacation.
He actually gets really excited after he agrees, and he is planning on exploring deep space for the entire month. He is actually really looking forwards to it now, and seeing this everyone who volunteered to take over his Patrols all promise that they will absolutely not bother him until the trip is done.
So, Danny leaves for his Vacation and the other Heroes set up shop in Amity Park.
Danny left them instructions on how to deal with Ghosts, how to pacify specific Rogues, and how to sent them back to the Ghost Zone when they are done. They feel like they are fairly well prepared for their Month Long Mission, especially since Danny described it as a very easy job.
Then the first Rogue Attack happened.
The team dispatched there, made up of a few mid-level JLA Members and some JLD Members for safe measure, takes nearly an Hour to defeat the Ghost. And they barely manage it.
They are surprised at how hard it is, but are even more surprised when they find out that the "Box Ghost" is labeled as a Low-Level Nuisance.
So, they call in a few higher level members to help. They do not want to interrupt Danny's Vacation.
Then they have to call in more JLA members, and again, and again.
By the time Danny managed to get back from his Vacation, the Founding Members and all JLD have been called in.
He thanks then for the opportunity to finally have a break.
Danny: Seriously, thanks guys. This was the best break I've had in years.
JLA: *out of breath and haggard* yeah dude...no problem...let me just sit down for a minute...whew!
Danny: Oh, I can't wait for the next time I can go on vacation!
JLA: *looking like this: 😐* ...yeah sure bro...
#Dpxdc#Dp x dc#Dcxdp#Dc x dp#Danny Phantom#Dc#Dcu#Danny takes a Break#Danny goes on Vacation#Danny severely underestimates himself and his Rogues#The JLA find out that Danny hasn't had a break since he was 14#They immediately force him on a vacation#Cue their instant regret#They do not call Danny back for help because they promised that they wouldn't#Also they have too much pride to admit that they are desperately in need of the help#(And they are embarrassed that they needed the help of a few civilians last time it happened)#Danny when he gets back: You guys look a little tired#JLA on their last legs: We look Awesome#(Yes that was a Steven universe reference)
