Once Again Mourning The Fact That I’ll Never Be Uyen Ninh And German Boyfriend

the PHM brainrot has consumed me.

every time i see a large collection of books i will examine it to see if Project Hail Mary is there. when an article or something mentions Ryan Gosling i immediately check if the upcoming PHM movie adaptation is mentioned. i have recommended this book to anyone who will listen. rocky literally lives in my head rent free. he hates soda water because apparently it's just regular water but with bonus Pain

snippets from my old writing, about the same time. the story was about a magic student who enters people's dreams to solve mysteries. there's a lot of radiation and Chernobylesque imagery because that was my special interest at the time.

thank you lemon of snicket for permanently altering my writing style

Legal first name: British

Surname: Vietnamese

Much cooler Illegal Name that I don't use here: Latin

i'm really curious about this, but where are y'alls names from? like one of my names is mexican and the other is arabic

rb and tag where your name's from

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. no one ages. 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.

talked to myself a while ago; accidentally called traditional art "acoustic" art

Obsidian is one of my longtime faves for planning and worldbuilding, and Ellipsus is very staunchly anti-AI! Here's a link to a post about it:

So because I got a slight amount of motivation for writing(wild what a lung infection will do to you) I've decided to take it up again. But I am not going to be caught dead using google drive/docs.

Are there any good alternatives? Cause when I tried to find a software that didn't train AI I literally only got results on how to avoid people detecting AI use.

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.

This is quite possibly the most photoshopped ad I have ever gotten, and that's saying smth 💀💀💀💀💀💀
