Cleaning up my account on this hellsite

Laughing as the senetors said [Redacted] wasn't even among their top 3 suspects for the murder. [Redacted] was 100% in mine. Jumped to top of the list after a certain point.

Btw Martyn on stream talked about choosing questions for the Shockcast and he said he was chatting with Skizz and fielding questions on the sly. He said that some questions had to be cut because their answers would be too similar.

The example he said was "oh skizz said 'my favorite band is impulse's second favorite band' "

When friendships influence your taste in music

I am actually so serious I think it really messes with a childs creativity and joy to tell them to never make a mary sue OC. Like that unbridaled form of joy where you make a self insert OC who super cool and everyone loves them and they have every superpower in the world SHOULD be something a kid makes, it nourishes their ability to create things for fun and not be stifled by "oh but what if my character is too overpowered and cringey...". whatever

You know what?

I'm gonna add to this.

It stifles adult's creativity too.

Don't put restrictions on people's creativity.

That Mary-Sue OC you made as a child? That's a template for a well rounded character. Develop that shit. Flesh them out. Make them even better. Figure out what superpowers they really need and what ones are just extra. Let the character grow with you.

But you won't have that template to work off of if you were told not to make it.

Also, let people have power fantasies. Let that bullied isolated kid have an OC who's super powerful and surrounded by friends.

Let people tell stories, for fuck's sake.

I like to joke about my old characters, that never got any use out of them, are currently buried in a plot bunny cemetery. Once in a blue moon I might dig one up to work on them like some necromancer or Frankenstein a new character from a cobbled-up mash of different old ones.

Actually that no punctuation plot hole ooc wattpad fanfic written by that 12 year old will ALWAYS be better than character ai. And I love that 12 year old btw

Wasnโ€™t expecting this

Iโ€™m sorry I know this is normally just an art and rambling blog you didnโ€™t honestly expect me to pass up reblogging The Spanish Inquisition did you? Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

i am adding this as a random date queued post so that even i donโ€™t expect it

i made a character sheet. free to use as you wish, feel free to change whatever you want XD open source ass thing. spent all of ~maybe an hour on it.

Credit: the text in the insert-image box comes from this video, and the text for the top three lines (intense, complex, fruity) comes from this post. The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.

this is GENUINELY one of the best character development sheets I've ever seen. Cuts right to the core of what you and your readers will glom onto, doesn't waste time on details that don't directly affect the narrative. Stupendous. Effervescent. Finally, some good fucking food
