So. Here we are then.
Stellar Firma means a lot to me and I'm honoured to have been able to experience it as it happened. I've met some of the most amazing people through it and been involved in projects I never would have imagined. I'm going to miss new weekly episodes but I'm so excited for bonus content and whatever the bros have planned.
May the board preserve and keep you, fellow citizen-employees.
Different Stories Resonate with Different People
If Yakko Wakko and Dot were SCP's theyd be classified as keter
Not because they're going to cause an end of the world scenario and end humanity itself
But simply because they're masters of escape and the foundation would just not be able to keep them in a place they didnt want to stay in.
I mean Twig has this in spades especially later on if you want to read it
A story structure Wildbow hasn’t yet attempted- which I would be very very interested to see him tackle- is the “Walking the Earth,” journey-focused Odyssey-type thing, where the protagonist and their gradually swelling band of hanger-on true companions travel from wacky side-adventure to whacky side-adventure in pursuit of some larger goal.
The parts of his writing I’ve read tend to be very sedentary, tied to a central location in some way, treating that location almost as a character in its own right (in the case of pale, he does so literally.) The beats on the heroes journey either come to the protagonists doorstep, or the protagonists go on Sorties to other plot relevant locations before eventually returning to home base. I’d love to see him handle a protagonist that’s genuinely, perpetually on the move, defined by their fleeting connections to lots of places, and the lessons learned in each.
This is how the golden age of piracy ended.

Listening to the white vault after TMA is so weird because your used to Ny-Alesund being evil but in the white vault it’s the end zone
original thread by @pukicho and several other users
Daughter of fantasy villains decides to rebel against her parents by actually going through with her arranged marriage to a local golden retriever of a prince instead of running off with some local villain-to-be or conquering said golden retriever’s kingdom and ruling it solo like her parents expect her to. Plus, sue her, she’s into the clean-cut earnest look.
At the same time, local prince charming discovers that he’s actually very into the gothic fiance his parents have landed him with in order to try and establish peace with the local evil lair down the lane, he would never have guessed a spiderweb pattern could look so fetching on a ball gown…?
Meanwhile, two pairs of parents in a tizzy because they both expected their offspring to whole-heartedly reject this union and give them an excuse to conquer their goody-two-shoes/evil neighbours, they’re not supposed to actually like each other-!
