"I Think I Have Decided On A Name For My Little Princess"

Posting some progress on my BOTW landscape! Thanks for looking :)

Imagine being a fly in World War 1 or something and telling one of your fly friends “Oh yeah, that area over there? We don’t go there because that’s where the creatures that are 100x bigger than us have gathered into groups of tens of thousands to try and annihilate each other, sometimes with weapons even bigger than they are, in a conflict that destroys not only them but the land itself. You might want to go somewhere else tbh”

It's crazy how giant squids and sperm whales just have like giant kaiju battles down in the deepest depths everyday and it's real

i love you undertale

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.

If I had a nickel for every time two sciencey guys had a situationship where one of them died and got better, then turned into a Jesus figure and the other had to do a internal battle against loneliness and choose to help the person who had hurt him really badly, and then the world goes bad and the human one has to convince the Jesus figure not to end the world and then they die(?) in the gayest way possible I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

So she’s essentially just spellcarving like Falst does but with lightning

Heyy, sorry if I'm missing something very obvious but I don't fully understand what Tess is doing on page 4.18. Is she carving a stone spell into the ceiling with her lightning to get VoidErin to fall to the ground? Because in that case I thought she'd have to use a stone lacrima. Or is she just carving a lightning spell and using it to magnetize Erin to the ground, and the sound effect's color being a blend of lightning and stone is because both magics are at play simultaneously?

The breakdown is as follows:

Step 1: Shape lightning into runes for a Sealing spell.

Step 2: shoot that shit at the ceiling

Void Dragon has already started releasing his hold on Erin at this point, convinced by Tess's argument that he needs her to stop Erin's uncontrolled magic and she won't do it if he doesn't bail. The magic isn't knocking Erin over, he's falling because the Dragon isn't holding him up anymore.

Step 3: Spell brands itself into the rock. No stone magic is required for this, although it would have made things easier for Tess - she's essentially using the lightning to break the rock in extremely precise patterns to spell the runes.

Sealing spells repel all forms of elemental energy, so this breaks the loop on Erin's uncontrolled channeling.

how dare you question the amazing method of farming that gives us so much food by simply killing the soil and leaving lands barren without maintaining the resources that make it work in the first place.

last year i got 1800 bushels of corn by killing the soil, as opposed to before when i only got 1200 by not killing the soil. surely i can simply keep killing more soil

Tech bros who think digital is forever and that uploading your consciousness to a computer is immortality crack me up. Like bro, you'd be "immortal" on the computer for like a year until your own company sends out some software update that makes you incompatible and whoops, there goes TechBro.soul into the great Recycling Bin in the sky
