Hi, Kiana! I really liked your pilot episode! The writing was so funny and charming. I am having a hard time inserting the themes of my short film into script naturally. Can you share how your writing process goes?

Thanks!

I usually write out the goal of the episode, bullet point every key part I want to happen, go in and take out anything that feels unimportant, reassess, go in and write the dialogue, make sure every line is either moving the story forward or is at least funny/tells you something new about the character, go back in and cut anything that isn't useful and then finalize

for this pilot, all i wanted to set up was how aika and zira met, that aika is running away from her duties/hoshi and introduce eclipse and hint that there's a bigger threat (devoid). in my earliest pass of doing the bullet points, there were extra beats of aika being in awe of school but i feel like you get the idea from her having fun doing her test, her opening dialogue, being excited by the fire drill and awful cafeteria food etc. anything else would have been meandering and take away from time spent getting to know other characters (aika and zira's friendship being set up was the most important part of this pilot to me).

having a clear goal and trimming stuff down is REALLY important when writing. i feel like sometimes people will write a funny bit or go into a script trying to force in a line of dialogue that they really want a character to say without considering how it services the story. if you're consistently doing that, you might lose the flow or even theme of the episode. don't want your episode to feel bloated with extra stuff!

this is just my advice as a board artist/director in 11 minute children's comedies. there's different goals when it comes to different genres~

I love to use it/its pronouns because "I wont use it/its on you, its desumanizating"

Oh yes, it is, but not in "im only a thing" way, its because im a unknown in every way you now, not only a cryptid creature, but a thing you will never be able to describe with singular and simple pronouns, I go beyond from all gender and human rules, i go beyond your ignorant knowledge of reality and everything you known all your life, your truths don't apply to me because they all are not only lies but legends in my reality, I am not the devil or god to you but I go above your physics you determined as bondaries to yourself and for that you are afraid of me, do not be afraid of me because of what you put as limits to yourself, be afraid of what you know I can do, the inevitable is me and I will destroy all perception you have of your reality founded in misery and ignorance, your desesperation is nothing compared as my pleasure to exist.

Its a shame It/its doesn't have in my native language it would be so much fun to mess with people with that :D

i love it/it’s pronouns and everyone who uses them should be given a million dollars. thank you and goodnight

When you watch videos coming out of Gaza, you can almost always hear a buzzing sound in the background. This sound has been keeping Gazans under constant anxious state for almost 20 years.

The sound you hear comes from surveillance aircrafts that roam the skies of Gaza with three main purposes: specific strikes, guiding missiles and the obvious, tracking every move of the people in Gaza.

People call it الزنّانة (zannana) which is attributed to the sound it makes that is similar to the buzzing noise of mosquitoes.

The use of the Zannana by Israel has been ongoing for many years leading up to the current aggression and it is constantly going for 24 hours of the day nonstop. People have always reported suffering from insomnia, being anxious all the time because of the ongoing noise, inability to study and focus and a complete loss of privacy and feeling of safety. It has a foreboding effect on people given its historical use in Gaza.

Israel uses this surveillance aircraft to gather information and determine targets, while placing the people of Gaza in a constant state of distress. This is of course just another piece of Israel's ongoing psychological war that it imposes on Palestinians every day of their lives.

When you know you're being watched by an aircraft that has resulted in killing over 2000 people between the years 2000-2022 in Gaza, imagine the constant state of horror you'll be experiencing on a daily basis as it buzzes around you while you make your breakfast, go to school, or even try to go to sleep.

being aroace is genuinely so isolating at times. having character relationships discussions where romance is seen as the "highest" form of a relationship can go. how friendships are sidelined or ignored. when queerplatonic relationships are sometimes written as this "substitute" to a romantic relationship without exploring the nuance there. how it's so hard to just explore art without someone wondering if the characters are going to hook up

The thing with "Love Like You" (From Steven Universe, for context) its not that its about Pink's love for Blue, or Rose's love for Greg, or Pearl's love for Rose, ite that, it fits every single relationship based in love, in and out of the cartoon.

It always fascinated me how this song fitted every character, every ship, every relationship, and it always resembled me as a song to describe love itself, how to love is to ask "How are you so special, and see me as such too?"

Because its based not only in admiration, but in adoration, in learning how to love yourself as the other does, I dont like the whole "You have to love yourself to someone to love you", I dont think the show intended to give this message, Pink is the message that when loving others truly, you learn to love yourself as others do, she only fighted for her wants when she loved Earth, she only saw the others Gems worth when she saw Garnet, how they can love too.

I dont think you have to love yourself in order to others to love you, you have to learn to love yourself because other people love you too, and you have to see by their eyes how you are, because then you will see how worth of love you are.

Idk this post is a whole mess but i just love this song so much, I always felt this way towards friends and family because of how good I saw them but it was hard to me to do this for me too, the fact you dont love yourself doesnt make you unworthy of someone's else love, simply because it IS hard to love yourself, its not a piece of cake that you'll start abruptly being "Oh im all okay i love myself and everything about me", but its a journey you'll see the worth when learning with others to love you how they do.
