#then i can start chapter 11
Note
Did you base the catalyst vampires off of other vampires in the media? Or, whats some catalyst universe specific vampire “quirks” or design choices? Lol sorry, got brain rot
the vampires in catalyst aren't really based off of any particular piece of media. they're sort of a strange amalgamation of every vampire au i've ever read, any tv shows or movies (aka twilight and first kill), plus my own little quirky details for the sake of plot.
any of the details i'm going to list below are catalyst specific according to me, but if anyone else has ever done them that's cool, i just didn't know.
vampires can go 2 years without drinking a drop of blood before they die of starvation, similar to how humans can go 2 weeks without food, just elongated to match a vampire's lifespan
most vampires feed once every month, which is less than twilight (i think) and most other vampire au's i've read, although i don't think many of them had specific hunger schedules. oh yeah it's also less than in the sims 4, if the vampire pack counts as vampire media lol
vampires aren't immortal. i gave them an age limit of 1000 because immortality is overrated anyway plus death is kinda nice sometimes. gives you a time limit. idk there was vsauce video about it that i watched once and haven't really stopped thinking about.
humans cannot be turned into vampires. if i were to implement that, though, the turning process would be drain all human blood, replace with a bit of vampire blood, yipee ur dead but also not, which just wasn't conventional and wouldn't be used in plot so i threw that whole concept out the window
vampires sleep during the day and wake up when the sun sets. i've read this in another vampire au, but am including it in this list anyway because twilight went "yeah vampires can chill during the day." however, if catalyst vampires could go out in the sun, i think all the sun would do is drain their energy and make them tired lol
for the first 40 years of a full vampire's life (20 for half-vamps), they can't fully see. i have another ask somewhere on here explaining how the process works, as well as other details.
fangs showing up only when needed isn't super original i don't think, but the whole warming of the skin when hungry thing is just a catalyst thing, i'm pretty sure.
also, like, vampires with eating disorders. i've never seen that anywhere else lol.
vampires being able to give birth (technically, minus all the issues that come with it) is also a catalyst thing i think??? idk i've only seen the first twilight movie so if vampire birth is in there.... whoops
vampires being entirely dead pretty much. no working organs, breathing isn't necessary, can't eat human food (unless the specific food holds essentially zero nutritional value), are also things i haven't seen in au's or media
vampires are just straight up a completely different species; they're not a subspecies of human. now, this would be a little weird for vampire-human... uh... breeding (i'm so sorry) but since vampires look so much like humans it's not really a big deal i guess
long story short i pretty much just went "what if we had humans and gave them fangs and a really long lifespan and then we gave one of them a shit ton of mental illness" and ran with that.
as for design choices, they're very similar to the typical vampire: pale skin, human-looking, fangs sometimes. eye colour doesn't really change if they're hungry, their pupils just get a little wider. skin tones can range from white as white can be to a dark grey, and eye colour can be anything, it just depends on the vampire and their genes, however the fuck genes work (i didn't take biology lol)
i've been meaning to write all this vampire lore out for a while, so i may be missing a few things in my list. catalyst (just like syzygy, another c!beeduo au of mine) was supposed to be a 2k one shot containing a silly little idea i had. instead, it bursted into this big, multi-chapter story, which isn't something i do often, so little things like specific details about the setting and all that other stuff aren't really thought out, because initially they really didn't need to be and i was too busy working out the plot to go back over and add those things. i'm a bit of a mess when it comes to writing longer pieces tbh.
now while catalyst may be my magnum opus, i am still– at my very core– just a silly little guy writing about minecraft men.
all the love and support has been insane, though, and i have appreciated it more than anything. it's the thing that keeps me going honestly. all the asks have helped me develop the world just a little bit more, and the insight i've been able to get, like how well my foreshadowing worked and how suspenseful i made each chapter, has helped tons as well.
the mere concept of people actively perceiving the things i put out onto the internet is crazy enough to me, so to have people thinking about my silly little fic and brainrotting about it makes me feel a little less silly (dw anon, i am also heavily brainrotting).
ty for the ask, and sorry for the essay of a response. the only vampire media i've consumed is twilight, first kill, and about 2 or 3 other fics, all from different fandoms (i'm not a big media consumer tbh), but i hope this suffices :]
#people asking me things#catalyst#i was writing a little bit of cbeeduo fluff (not catalyst related just a funny idea i got) when i got this ask#might write a little bit of chapter 10 today#i'm almost done this one scene i've been struggling with for a bit#one more scene after this one and then we're done ^_^#then i can start chapter 11#i think updates will slow down a bit once i start school again#my workload is gonna be lots and my motivation is going to be GONE#it's okay. i will cope.#hoping to get it done by january possibly.#if not then i'd say june at the latest#that would mean a full year of working on the same au oh god#idk if i can brainrot that long who knows#i'll push through tho dw i have lots of love in my heart for catalyst

To make up for the lack of Bowser Jr. in the To Break The Bonds Within Two Kingdoms timeline, here is a mostly wholesome Bowuigi idea that centers around the cute and chaotic little Koopa.
Okay, so imagine with me a time in the Mushroom Kingdom where Bowser and Luigi are a couple. Now whether they're married or not, I'll leave that up in the air, but the thing that really matters here is that Luigi and Bowser have been dating long enough to where they are sleeping together.
And since Luigi and Bowser are getting pretty serious in their relationship, I am almost positive that there would be at least one instance where Bowser Jr. would have a nightmare while Luigi was in Bowser's Castle.
But here is where things start to get interesting.
So after doing some random research, I've discovered that some kittens like to sleep under the covers. Now there are a few different reasons on why kittens do this, but the main reason I'll point out is because it helps them feel safe and secure.
And you might be wondering, "Well that's cool info Nickname, but what does that have to do with Bowser Jr?"
Well my fellow readers, that is where the wholesome part of the idea comes into play.
So when Bowser Jr. wakes up from a nightmare, I can definitely see him going to Luigi and Bowser's room to see if he can sleep with them for the night. However, when Bowser Jr. opens the bedroom door and realizes that Luigi and Bowser are asleep, I can see him do one of these two options:
Bowser Jr. wakes up Luigi and Bowser with tears in his eyes and asks if he can sleep with them tonight because of the nightmare he had (which Luigi and Bowser would 100% be okay with).
OR
We can go into the kitten approach I talked about earlier in the post and have Bowser Jr. go up to the side/foot of the bed, get himself under the covers, climb up the bed and crawl up beside Luigi and Bowser and slowly go back to sleep knowing that his Papa and Mama can and will protect him from any nightmares or dangers (and he does this all without waking Luigi and Bowser up).
Now from the hundreds of Bowuigi & Bowser Jr. artwork & fanfics that I've seen, Jr. would most likely do option #1, but don't you think that it would also be really adorable if Jr. had some kitten traits in him as well (especially since we're making it kind of canon that Bowser purrs whenever he's happy)?
#note that when I say “lack of Bowser Jr.” I mean that he just full-on doesn't exist in the TBTBWTK timeline#like at all#yea I know that it's really weird to exclude Jr. & the Koopalings from my au but with how I have it all planned out it's better this way#especially if you think about it the sense of chapter 11 in TBTBWTK#like seriously though#can you imagine Bowser's pure horror and terror if King Boo tells him that he has to choose between his 8 kids & his husband?#that would fucking destroy him#and don't even get me started on what King Boo would do when Bowser finally makes his choice because both routes are very angsty#but that's a story for another time#bowser jr#luigi#luigi nintendo#bowser#bowser nintendo#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#super mario#super mario bros#mario fanfic idea

By the remains of that day, we burned (2/2)
Relationships: Kaeya & Jean, Kaeya & Jean & Diluc, Kaeya/Jean
Chapter Tags: Grief/Mourning, Pre-Canon, Jean has parental issues, Kaeya has issues, Everybody needs a hug, Sparring in lieu of conversation, Angst with a happy ending
Words: 4,567
Part I | Interlude
---
Kaeya is soaked to the bone.
The rain and wind thrash at his face as he runs against it - into his eyes, across the skin of his neck. His coat is heavy on his shoulders as he raises his arm above his head, where the raindrops glow against the surface of his Vision, ice-cold beneath his fingertips. He grips it so tight his hands numb - this gift, this curse, his anchor, and his betrayal.
It is there one moment, gone the next.
Read the rest here
#cw: grief#genshin impact#kaeya alberich#jean gunnhildr#kaejean#genshin impact kaeya#genshin impact jean#i know the last two parts i said platonic kaejean but you know what#i don't know even know about that anymore LMAO#it's a line blurring friendship what can i say#also me??? finishing a multichapter fic??? that's fuckin crazy#once again uploading a fic chapter between 1-2am i'm sorry to my sleep schedule#this may just be the single longest and most artistically challenging chapter i've ever written#BUT I'M SO GLAD I CAN FINALLY POST THIS IT'S BEEN LIKE 11 MONTHS#SINCE I STARTED WRITING THIS???? WOW

No vnc chapter this month
I know we will have an announcement in Twitter when vnc it's back but I know too that a lot of people here don't touch Twitter even with a stick so... I will be refreshing the page where I buy the magazine until its content include Vanitas' notes (thing that doesn't do this month) to tell ya here.
#vanitas no carte#vnc#the case study of vanitas#no chapter this month#september 2022#the hiatus begins now#and can last until september 2023#i know we have been 3 months of hiatus already but#i calculated the hiatus could be september 2022 at least#and it's this month#so for me the hiatus starts now#and can last one year#because if not volume 11 can't be published in 2023#as they said

We have definitely passed the halfway point of castling the king, which I already knew. But I just did another outlining session and I think I have a tentative final chapter count, which feels kinda crazy lol.
#jonsa#robbaery#mine#i make no promises but as it stands it is looking like 19 chapters with an epilogue to round us out at 20#do not fear these chapter are all going to be massive undertakings lol and could be broken up#but it's the first time since i started that i could even estimate how many chapters it would be#my very first rough estimate which i never even shared was i think 11 LOL#it's kind of exciting to feel like i can see the endpoint even far in the distance lol

brief plan change: my sister came up to visit unannounced for the weekend so i'm gonna have to put off starting umineko 1-11 by another day (she leaves tomorrow evening so i'll have time then). hopefully the writeup can satiate you all for a further 24 hours.
#:)#this isn't a bad occurrence by any means#but it is now so completely comical that every single time i decide to start reading umineko again Circumstances force me to put it off#i just know beatrice is scared that i'll learn more of her secrets so she is doing all she can to keep me from reading her story#anyway provided nothing else happens i am guaranteeing that i will start chapter 11 in about 24 hours from now

just read chapter ten and HOLY FUCK!!!!!! Like i loved how you handled the conflict and showing how sasha still doesnt understand how to mend her relationship with anne. also loved how you cant hide the fact youre a sashanner there. but i have a question how will thingsd go? like in canon there was sasha finding the journal with things about the battle of the bands so how will it work here, what will motivate them to try and earn annes forgiveness, cause its obvious she made a mistake and she knows it? also where will anne go?
you will just have to wait and see :]
#on a serious note all of these questions are things I plan on answering starting with chapter 11 and beyond#so I can't really talk about them#all I CAN say is there is very much a turning point-esque plot point coming up in a few chapters#sashannebrainrot#ask#e!amphibia tag

The real question in my mind right now is if I should post the last chapter as soon as I’m done or wait til tomorrow.
#the answer comes down to what time I finish it. and as such how early I can start writing#if I finish past like 11 I’ll probably save it. because that’s late enough that I don’t want to turn my computer on XD#this chapter is a Monster I’m not pasting it on my laptop#quinn writes things

uhm. uhmmm. ladue chapter 18 sure is the goal.
... though im still kinda in the mood for angst. this is a problem.
#speculation nation#ladue shit#me writing that one shot & posting it like 'phew! surely this will get it out of my system'#... apparently not.#im sooooooo close. so fucking close to finishing ladue chapter 18#but it requires a Heart To Heart kinda thing and i am Not feeling that vulnerability rn#im just tired and annoyed in general. and that manifests as wanting to write angst.#maybe this will change after i get my tax return. i can start Living It Up#(paying off debt and not having to calculate expenses down to the dollar!)#im just like. hm. we'll see if my mood changes enough to work on the ladue chapter 18#but i have been introduced to the ease of one-shots. like holy Fucking shit that was really easy to write#im used to writing fics being a fucking massive undertaking. but i wrote that in literally 2 sittings.#... i could also write a continuation of ce n'est rien#though idk. it's supposed to just sit within canon. a peek into his life#OH oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh i just remembered an idea i had for 3rd semester and omfg#hm. hmmmm#oh yes that would hurt Quite a lot actually.#not entirely original but neither is my 11/20 fic. it's about what i do with the idea that makes it new#well i might have a new severely angsty one shot to write soon. We'll See

sigh I wanna start a new blazing blade run...I had one going but I love nothing more than starting new runs of fe games, and the further away I get from a particular run the more likely I am to scrap it...y’know I’ve never finished Sacred Stones? I think I had like two maps to go, and for some reason I lost interest for a year or so and when I came back I restarted instead. I kinda get it, for me the fun of the fe games is making all the decisions about how to level your units, how to build supports and how to clear maps without losing anyone, and the further along in the game it gets the less potential there is for those decisions. And yeah the allure of just finishing the damn thing is still there, but it’s less of a draw than the start of the game where anything is possible. And with Blazing Blade I haven’t played Hector’s mode yet, so I wanna give that a shot (I think I was still in Lyn’s section on my second playthrough). And I still say Blazing Blade is my favorite fe game ever even tho I’ve only ever beaten it once. A lot of it comes down to convenience, it’s much easier to boot up 3H on the switch than basically any other fe game.
of course what I should really do is make another stab at Chapter 3 of Genealogy. Psh, as if.
#catfishchat#I don't remember when I started fe4 but fortunately I logged it on my blog so I can see that it was...#11 months ago.#at least for my current run my first attempt was before that#I scrapped it partway through chapter 2 because I realized I'd missed recruiting someone#which yES MATTERS TO ME#like I said I like playing these for the potential if I miss a character I feel#very much like I'm missing out on something#oh yeah I haven't finished binding blade either lol#that one I might actually go back to my old playthrough#(which I've abandoned for over a year)#I think the gameplay on that one was more clunky so the prospect of restarting is less fun

How do i Plot a Book?
1. Start with an Idea:
Begin with a clear idea or concept for your story. This could be a theme, a character, a setting, or a unique scenario.
2. Outline Your Plot Structure:
- Introduction: Set the stage by introducing your main character, the setting, and the initial situation.
- Inciting Incident: Present a problem or event that disrupts the status quo and sets the story in motion.
- Rising Action: Develop the plot by introducing conflicts, challenges, and obstacles that the protagonist faces.
- Climax: Reach the story's highest point of tension and conflict where the protagonist confronts the main challenge.
- Falling Action: Address the aftermath of the climax, tying up loose ends and resolving subplots.
- Conclusion: Provide a resolution to the main conflict, wrap up the story, and show the character's growth or change.
3. Create Well-Defined Characters:
- Develop your main character (protagonist) with clear goals, motivations, and flaws.
- Introduce supporting characters with distinct personalities and roles in the story.
4. World-Building:
If your story is set in a unique or fictional world, develop the setting, rules, and details necessary for readers to understand the environment.
5. Conflict and Stakes:
Ensure that your story has compelling conflicts that drive the plot forward. Make the stakes clear to the reader.
6. Subplots:
Develop subplots that add depth and complexity to your story and intersect with the main plot at various points.
7. Foreshadowing:
Use foreshadowing to hint at future events and create suspense.
8. Pacing:
Balance action, dialogue, and introspection to control the pace of your story. Speed up or slow down as needed for dramatic effect.
9. Themes and Messages:
Consider the themes or messages you want to convey through your story and how the plot can reflect them.
10. Outline Chapter by Chapter:
Create a chapter-by-chapter outline that details what will happen in each section of your book. This doesn't need to be overly detailed, but it can serve as a roadmap.
11. Writing and Revising:
Start writing your book based on your outline. Be open to changes and revisions as your story develops.
