hey if you're the type of writer that's like me where you tend to write specific scenes first that vaguely weave together into a plot, you might like using obsidian as a writing app.
my frustration with other writing applications is that i will write my scenes out of order and it's hard to move things around and rearrange them on a regular document.
but with obsidian there's this canvas feature where you can just write all your scenes and plot moments on these little cards that you can freely rearrange. you can color code them and connect them too.
here's the canvas i've created for my current multi-chapter fic: (if you zoom in you can see all the text in each card this what it looks like zoomed out)
as you can see, i color code them based off chapters and will group them next to a document card with the working title of the chapter. anything not color-coded are scenes that don't have a proper place quite yet or it's just world building references. this app can also be good for note-taking and collecting research!
best of all, it's FREE!!! the only downside is that if you want your stuff to sync across devices, you do have to pay for that. i constantly hop between my laptop and desktop so i pay for the syncing. but if you write on only one device it's completely free! EDIT: some reblogs have mentioned that you can apparently link your own personal cloud storage (dropbox, gdrive, icloud, etc.) to obsidian for free! that way you can access your obsidian vaults across multiple devices without the extra fee. i don't mind supporting the devs but just something to look into if costs is a concern.
i typically use it for organizing my thoughts for a first draft. once i get all the scenes arranged and mostly written out, i will copy and paste them into ellipsus (also free & highly recommended as a google doc alternative) so that they're all in one document that i can edit.
bitch ass motherfucking piece of shit drone
god i hate writing for this stupid fucking fandom.
no one knows what the hell is going on. the timeline is all over the place. my favourite character (wet cat archaeologist with visions) gets taken into custody and we never see her again. Some Guy manages to stay young until like 2090. those Fuckass Drones break the laws of physics so hard I have to add magic into the worldbuilding so it doesn't all fall down

this is how I feel about kids' games. samey neon 3D art and clickbaity drama be damned I could give Gen Alpha something with Story and Heart
I need to get into mobile game development so I can make puzzle games for middle aged moms. those women deserve better than predatory energy systems and weird fetish ads every 3 seconds. I could be the one to give them something better. I could give them a candy crush clone with SOUL.

Similarly, my asks are open if you want to get to know me a little better.
I don't take DMs unless we already know each other.
Anyone can interact as long as they're respectful, SFW (I'm a minor and request that 18+ / mDNI blogs follow their own boundaries) and try their best to keep an open mind ^^
That being said, I do ask that we keep controversy, politics and discourse to a minimum here. While I can have strong opinions, I tend to lose the ability to advocate for myself or articulate my thoughts in stressful situations (like online arguments.)

you'd think that people in the Alan Walker Cinematic Universe would be a little more skeptical. but instead they're like "oh they're funding the archaeological excavations!! they're collaborating with the US Government to rebuild humanity after the solar storm, they can't be that bad!!1!"
mate: they're literally called Red Nexus
that's like the most evil-corporation-sounding name of all time.
"yeah after my major, history-rewriting archaeological discoveries i will be taking funding from the Evil Science Laboratory that does Unethical Experiments (and also held my old professor in captivity)"

Vis's surname at the start of TWOTM is Solus, meaning "one", "sole", "lonely". Presumably, this is a standard surname given to kids in orphanages.
Throughout the book are constant references to his identity issues: the constant lying, his relationship to his names and titles (Vis/Diago, the Telimus surname, the title of Catenicus), everything about the Suus beach episode, etc.
And in addition, the book ends with us seeing multiple versions of him across what seems to be different dimensions.
Here's the synopsis for the sequel, The Strength Of The Few:
Essentially, he goes from having a name that means "lone" to being more than one. I dig the irony (intentional or not.)
