Unleash Your Inner Monster: A Guide to Creating Unique and Memorable Fictional Monsters. Part 1: Purpose

When creating a fictional monster, its purpose in your story is crucial. The monster's role can make or break the narrative, so it must be carefully considered. Here's how to craft a monster with purpose:

Define Its Role: Before diving into the details of your monster, determine its role in your story. Is it the main antagonist, a secondary threat, or a misunderstood creature? Understanding its purpose will help you shape its characteristics and behavior.

Tailor Its Traits: The traits of your monster should align with its role. If it's the primary antagonist, it needs to be a formidable foe. If it's a misunderstood creature, it should be capable of eliciting empathy from readers. Consider the physical and behavioral traits that will support its purpose.

Use Metaphors: Monsters can be metaphors for real-world issues or fears. For instance, a monster that represents the dangers of genetic engineering might be created through gene splicing, and this technique makes the monster unique and adds depth to the story.

Create Tension: A monster that poses a real threat to your protagonist will create tension, making the story more engaging. To achieve this, the beast should have a distinct advantage over the protagonist, forcing them to rely on their wits and resources to survive.

Give It A Weakness: The monster's weakness ultimately allows the protagonist to overcome it. The flaw can be physical or psychological, but it should be significant enough to provide a clear path to victory.

By focusing on the purpose of your monster, you can create a creature that is not only terrifying but also serves a clear narrative function. Carefully considering the monster's role, traits, and weaknesses will help you craft a compelling story that resonates with readers.

Desktop portable Stargate 🌌🛸💡

Always liked the episode of SG-1 when Orlin made a mini Stargate using various parts ordered online and from Major Samantha Carter's toaster. This one at least fits in our apartment, all part of the round LCD work we are doing with the ESP32-S3.

MJPEGs are a great way to play small animations on TFTs 🎞️ 🖥️ 🔄

With our ESP32-S3 TFT experimenter board, we're now able to use the Arduino_GFX https://github.com/moononournation/Arduino_GFX library by moononournation which has native RGB TFT support and excellent example code. This example is playing MJPEG files, a simple animation format https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_JPEG with just JPEGs glued together. We wired up a MicroSD card over SPI for quick file storage and retrieval, or 1-bit MMC works, too. files are converted with ffmpeg: 'ffmpeg -i "wash.mp4" -vf "fps=10,vflip,hflip,scale=-1:480:flags=lanczos,crop=480:480" -pix_fmt yuvj420p -q:v 9 wash.mjpeg', natch! And then they play, about 9fps is the rate we're getting for 480x480 pixels.
