The Best Way To Clean Your Muse

i have decied to update my boboiboy gamma design

heres the boy!

The reluctance to consume new media is so real

I used to dislike LoR because of a certain friend who adored it as well as seeing it constantly pop up in random places on the internet, but as soon as I took a bite of the devil's apple myself I found myself hooked. Both the Red Mist and Gebura themes have been mashed together and fused in this cover to try and make a more complete song.

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.

"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?

Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?

If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?

Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?

I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'

Hey bird experts of tumblr, there's a bird nest I just discovered on a gutter on our back porch with eggs in it. We have frequent storms, are having 70mph winds here in a bit, and it's (in my opinion) low to the ground for a birds nest. Should I be worried?

Not sure what bird laid these but the adult birds have went back to the nest and hung out there (poor pic quality cause I didn't want to get super close to the nest, but its like. Right outside the door.)

GUYS THERES THIS WEBSITE CALLED SETTEI DREAMS THAT HAS EVERY CHARACTER REF SHEET AND MODEL FOR A TON OF ANIME CIRCULATE THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!

Ya know how you responded to the thing about nothing there in cotl well can you tell me what white night does there (I want to see a meme of it if thats ok)

And might I also inquire what the bishops think of this?

You may have gotten the wrong person somehow pal. I do know both fandoms however, and can try to answer

It’s gonna start by healing and getting itself 12 apostles. I dunno if it’ll be interested in making a cult- to me White Night sounds more interested in liberating everyone from existence. I think the bishops would be very alarmed to say the least, but WN is like “come join me I shall embrace you”.

First Meeting Treat - A Boboiboy AU

Warning: Possibly OOC

___________________________

After getting over the sudden shock of his soccer ball actually being some kind of high tech sphere from outer space, Boboiboy was granted the power of the elements. Ochobot says they're very powerful and has many abilities can utilize.

That's what Ochobot said, but he finds it hard to believe, because such power came in the form of little orbs. There's 3 of them, each with a different color and symbol on their forehead, and can fit in his palm. They have these white eyes that seem to convey so much emotion, and when Boboiboy looks into them, he sees... fear?

Boboiboy's not sure how he will use their power, maybe he can try using it like one of those magicians he sees on TV, but then what will he use it for? Ah, maybe he can have them help do chores, that would help a lot!

But for now, he has the little orbs on the kitchen table, as they stare at one another, unmoving. Last Boboiboy checked the elementals could move around on their own just fine. Maybe they need some encouragement? What could he do to help?

The boy racked his mind for anything, then he remembered how his dad always used food to coax Mechabot into doing something. Oh that's right! The fastest way to the heart is through the stomach! Maybe they're just hungry.

He left the chair and went to the fridge, looking for anything that can be eaten, he has chosen lots of varieties, see what the little orbs will like.

Ochobot watches him from the side, curious at the boy's actions.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to see what they eat, they're probably hungry"

"Um, they don't need to eat you know?"

Still, Ochobot was ignored, so he watched as his new master try to feed the elementals. So far, all failed attempts.

"Hey Ochobot? What do powers eat?"

"Um, energy perhaps?"

Which led to him giving the orbs batteries, but only the little red orb was interested, so it's only 1/3 success

Boboiboy has ran out of ideas, and is currently slumped down on the table. Maybe he should just go back to bed and think about this tomorrow.

Seeing Boboiboy so down, Ochobot can't help but feel bad. Afterall, he's Boboiboy's Powersphere, and yet could hardly do anything to help him right now. If only he didn't get kicked...

The yellow sphere decides to try setting his priorities straight with a bit of thinking. The sphere glanced around until his eyes landed on a can of cocoa. Cocoa has lots of energy, and it could be used to activate a Powersphere like him, so maybe...

"Boboiboy, try giving them some cocoa!" Ochobot suggests in a lightbulb moment. If it works on a machine then it should work on the powers too.

Ochobot managed to grab Boboiboy's attention. Hearing the idea, the boy gets up and grabbed a can of cocoa. He figured it wouldn't be pleasant to eat a spoonful of cocoa, so he made a basic hot cocoa drink with it and placed it on the table.

The sweet smell of cocoa seems to have grabbed the blue orb's attention, it made it's way towards the cup, and to his amazement, floated up to the cup. Only then he realized that they're little orbs and probably won't be able to drink without accidentally dunking themselves in. So he pours it out on a plate instead.

Like before, the blue orb went first. The sudden recoil made Boboiboy worry about the drink being too hot, but then he felt wind flowing around. Wasn't the window closed? How is there wind? Maybe it's the orb's doing? But that doesn't matter now, as the blue orb happily consumed the liquid. The other 2, red and gold, looked at eachother before deciding to go for it, only to discover that the blue one has drank it all.

"There there, I still have plenty, here"

Boboiboy hands out 2 more small plates and refilled the blue orb's plate as well. He watched them, and contrary to before, they look so cute like this.

Boboiboy reaches out to the blue orb, the blue orb thought Boboiboy was going grab him, but all he received was some kind of petting action with one finger. It felt... oddly comfortable. Boboiboy smiles as he sees the orb lean into it. Does this mean he succeeded in earning the blue one's trust? Even so, he's glad they're more comfortable with him now.

The next day, while Boboiboy was outside with the orbs- No, not orbs, Petir, Angin and Tanah, those are the names he decided to call them based on the info Ochobot gave him. It's really basic, he knows, but they don't seem to mind.

As Boboiboy was going about, the square headed green alien appeared once again. Just as Boboiboy was about to receive an attack from him...

"Earth Barrier!"

A wall rises up and blocked the attack, saving Boboiboy. He looked up to see who his savior is, only to find... himself? No, he looks a little different.

The doppelganger turned around

"Are you okay Master?"

"Uh, um, yeah. Who are you?"

Ah, it seems he hurt the other boy's feelings a little bit, but he smiled

"It's fine if you don't recognize me. It's me, Tanah"

T- Tanah?! Wasn't Tanah a little gold orb just a moment ago?

Before Boboiboy could process how this happened though

"Leave this to us Master!" A cheerful voice called, and there was 2 others like him ruthlessly attacking the alien. Just what is going on?

_________________________

A 14 year old boy awoke to the sound of chirping birds and the sun shining through. Yep, the boy is none other than Boboiboy himself.

So much has happened, ever since that fateful meeting with Ochobot, with the elementals. It was chaotic, sure, but Boboiboy finds himself fond of those memories somewhat. He has made new friends and he was never alone thanks to the elementals's presence.

And he also has a promise to fulfill too. A promise to them, the elements who are still in sleep.

The day passed by quickly, and Tok Aba suddenly closed up shop a bit earlier than usual... Strange.

He entered the house, there's Tanah washing his hands, and why is Petir bringing his lightning blades?

Because he could ask though, Angin already told him to just go to his room and relax. He was confused, what are they doing?

A little while later, he was finally allowed to come down to the kitchen, there, he saw that Tanah has cooked many dishes and they even made some hot cocoa drinks.

"Eh? Are we having a special occasion?"

"Yeah! We're celebrating the 3 year anniversary of the day we met!"

"Something as simple as that? And you guys remembered?"

"Yes, it was a life changing day for us. Humans celebrate important days no?"

Ah, so that day was that important to them? Indeed, it was life changing for him too. Boboiboy smiles as he pulled them all into a group hug.

He remembers the form the elementals took, he remembers how they were at first. And it all started with a plate of hot cocoa.
