Get Booped

yes they're transparent

I finally read the newest BSD chapter

And

I'm just gonna freak out under the cut and give my long ass ramble cause-

HOLY SHIT??? I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATION SCENE ANIMATED?? PRAYING IT DOESN'T GET BOTCHED! 🙏🙏

AND ALSO BRAM LIKE?? KNOWING THAT SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING TO HIM BEFORE HAND AND WARNING AYA?? HE CALLED HER PRINCESS 😭

ALSO BRAM IS DEAD?? A TRIPLE SINGULARITY? Fyodor was practically sizing Bram up in the past?? Like "Hm yes, you'll make a wonderful body some day" Both Dazai and Chuuya are on the other side of the planet and Fyodor basically teleported back to Japan and I can't stop thinking about how

Dazai told Fyodor that Atsushi was his most valuable/powerful pawn, didn't he? I think so and NOW FYODOR IS WITH HIM AND DAZAI ISN'T. MAN I'M KINDA SCARED. Fyodor and Dazai think very similarly which means that Fyodor might want to use Atsushi for something?? Dazai didn't explicitly say who his pawn was, but because of how similarly the two think, Fyodor probably guessed. Sigma and Atsushi have a few similarities (Two toned hair - Two toned eyes. White hair - White hair. Both where black and white primarily. Dazai even refers to Sigma as "The Atsushi type" C'MON!) and Fyodor was using Sigma... So how does our main character fit into his plan if at all?

I just- I can't- I have too many thoughts we'd be here for literal hours so I'm going to stop typing and sit in the corner for a while.

Working on my novel and couldn’t figure out why it felt so empty. I didn’t have any filler. It was all 100% plot. The characters only interacted when necessary. I didn’t prattle on about the scenery or how the birds sounded. I had all my fuller stuff that I loved saved in another file because I “didn’t need it”.

Y’all, I knew this existed in TV shows but it didn’t hit me until this that everything is being whittled down. We are so starving for filler that we snap up anything. I unload all mine on Tumblr or keep it in a massive Google Docs. It SUCKS.

Honestly? Death to plot necessity. Revive filler. Revive unnecessary interactions. Revive just vibing with characters sometimes. I don’t want to just consume the plot and I don’t want to just create the plot either.

I learned from a friend how to render hair while drawing my character, James

I also experimented with the shading, I like it.

me continuing to make terrible posts about my extremely niche interests instead of anything people actually followed me for:

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
