[unborn vault]

That said, she’s definitely imagining things. Let’s get you to bed, grandma.

[maiden bear]

I have no idea how old 90% of you are

[fluid ridge]

wait i thought i was the grandma????

[maiden bear]

But yeah, respect your banans

[fluid ridge]

82949339594 Cycles old, now you only have to know what i headcannon the cycle leanght to be

[maiden bear]

I don’t have a wrinkle yet. Once I get a wrinkle you can call me grandma

[fluid ridge]

but i wanted to be the grandma?????

[maiden bear]

I will keep you updated on wrinkle status

[fluid ridge]

dont steal my role

[maiden bear]

It’s yours until I get a wrinkle. After that….

[fluid ridge]

hehehe

perfect

[fluid ridge]

after that you turn into a worm

[maiden bear]

Worm!! 🪱

[fluid ridge]

WORM🪱 🪱 🪱

[woven python]

20

[maiden bear]

youngin’s

[fluid ridge]

with that info i can now dox you, be prepared

[woven python]

SCREAMS

[fluid ridge]

[maiden bear]

I’m cool with being the decrepit old person in chat

[fluid ridge]

i want to be a Senior just like the hit character looks to the moon from the hit game rain world

[maiden bear]

That’s right!! Moon is old and we love her!!

[fluid ridge]

lmao there are only seven works with the fp & ui tag, and three are from Bahamas

ik innocence is pretty much just a blank slate but i thought there would be more

[maiden bear]

Excuse to make an OC fic

I am surprised there’s not more

[fluid ridge]

same

but it also isnt a comman tag

i know btts has scenes between the two that might count but it istn tagged, probably because it already has so much going on

[maiden bear]

I’m thankful when people don’t tag super side pairings

[woven python]

i love btts

[fluid ridge]

definetnly

[maiden bear]

I’m not up to date on btts

[fluid ridge]

also same

[maiden bear]

But the parts I read were good

Pebbles is a little ooc for me but I still kinda like their depiction anyway

[next temple]

I think that's exactly the reason, you could put a lot of thought and designs into a blank canon character, but you also can use them to make an oc instead

[woven python]

i reread it when i'm sad

it's comfy

[maiden bear]

It is comfy

My fic is not comfy

I should write a fluffy thing someday

[fluid ridge]

tbh you could make anything occ|| after sending them back in time after the entire saint shit. ||

[maiden bear]

Yes he would definitely change from this

But I think… the specific way he is depicted here doesn’t quite hit for me

[fluid ridge]

it really is, ||lets just ignore multiple panic attack scenes for now,|| i live for the ui fp scenes too

[maiden bear]

It’s still a very good fic though

[fluid ridge]

fair

[maiden bear]

Those are unironically the best scenes in it

[woven python]

||i love me a good panic attack||

[fluid ridge]

they hit really hard

[maiden bear]

The one with sig in particular

I think is the standout scene in the fic (as far as I’ve read)

[fluid ridge]

yes yes yes

[woven python]

i like how they wrote sig and pebbles relationship honestly

[maiden bear]

This is what infected me with ragequit

[fluid ridge]

favourite scene so far, i reread it a lot more then i should

[fluid ridge]

that ship has no right to be so funny

but also the angst potential???

[woven python]

honestly btts made me partial to it

[maiden bear]

Angst… teasing…

I love snarky character x too serious character

[fluid ridge]

me too

[maiden bear]

Snark x stick-up-his-ass

[fluid ridge]

perfect combination

which is why i like my headcannon Ui with pebbs so much too

[woven python]

same

[fluid ridge]

even more snark, just with a bit less angst (sad)

there is a new goal that came up in the later chapters

and there is the 'threat' (can i call it that?????) with ||suns||

[woven python]

i don't mind fics that are aimless as long as they're fun to read, which btts is for me

[fluid ridge]

same

tho i wouldnt call it aimless perhaps? maybe just slow which i tend to like as well

[woven python]

yeye

i love behemoth fics with massive word counts

[fluid ridge]

i also live for teh character relationships

[maiden bear]

Hmm I’m not sure where I left off

[fluid ridge]

lmao just restart

i read that thing way to often, even now

[maiden bear]

lol no not right now

I got other stuff to read first :3

[fluid ridge]

and i should have been editing my chapters

but i only managed up to chpater 2

im so slow today

[north herald]

Btts?

[maiden bear]

Backwards through the snow

[fluid ridge]

backwards through the snow

[fluid ridge]

holy hell you tipe fast

[maiden bear]

The #1 RW fic by kudos

[north herald]

Ahh that, it's on my backlog

[maiden bear]

Definitely the most popular fic in the fandom

[fluid ridge]

for now, just wait until i write a 1000000k word fic for calloutpost /j

[maiden bear]

A smash hit

It’s crazy though, nothing will ever touch btts

[fluid ridge]

sunstone what?
slivermoon who?

everyone will only talk about calloutpost

[maiden bear]

Those numbers are wild

[north herald]

1 CALLOUTPOSTILLION KUDOS

[north herald]

How many?

[fluid ridge]

mad respect, you have to get there first

[woven python]

3k kudos?? holy christ

[maiden bear]

I think they literally just have so much of a head start it’s actually impossible for anything to ever touch these numbers

[north herald]

34 chapters and not done?

[maiden bear]

I have a tenth of their kudos

[woven python]

that's insane

[north herald]

Is it like one of the 1st fics or...?

[maiden bear]

It started around the dp popularity boom

[fluid ridge]

its funny that i only found that like last year october, i did now know how i missed it before but back then it just appeared at the lead out of nowhere

[maiden bear]

And really rode that wave. It’s also good

It hits on all the most popular tropes and things people in this fandom are looking for

So props to the author. It’s really good.

[woven python]

they got lucky i suppose

[fluid ridge]

definetly not me
NO! im not basic i swear

[north herald]

That makes me want to read it more

[fluid ridge]

mostly its just really good tho

[maiden bear]

A little luck, right place right time, and it’s also good

[fluid ridge]

and people (like us) talk about it alot which helps it get more readers

[north herald]

think of the kudos btshell would get when it would have the FPxUI tag

[maiden bear]

I don’t think just saying they got lucky is apt. They made a thing people love

[fluid ridge]

[maiden bear]

But they did start writing it at just the right time

Also pretty sure they have a tumblr and stuff they are active with which garners more attention than posting to ao3 alone

[woven python]

i have a tumblr for rw stuff but i only made it like a month ago so no one knows me

[fluid ridge]

they have???

i want to see that

[next temple]

Luck alone can't be the factor yeah, otherwise there would be some other fics with close numbers that started at the same time

[fluid ridge]

is it linked anywhere?

[maiden bear]

It’s linked somewhere in their profile or authors notes

Idk remember where I saw it but it’s definitely on ao3

[woven python]

oh yeah yeah it's a very good story

like i said it's one of my favorites and i reread it a lot

i have like

a list of fics i love enough to reread

its on there

[fluid ridge]

same

i at least check it out once a month ||(if only for the panic attack scene with sig)||

[woven python]

i have some fics that have straight up affected the way i write/characterize in my fics in a good way

[fluid ridge]

forgot the auther is anonymos

[maiden bear]

I feel like mine isn’t very rereadable but

It’s not very comfy

[fluid ridge]

guess i have to read it all again

[fluid ridge]

i disagree

[maiden bear]

I’m positive there’s a link somewhere

[woven python]

it's in one of the authors notes

[fluid ridge]

alone all the arti pebbs scenes are worth to get back into it

[fluid ridge]

also i love stuff that makes me outright sob,

[fluid ridge]

ah yeah, right at the bottom

[maiden bear]

I just redid the first chapter (no story changes just cleaned it up with new phrasing and stuff)

I feel like I’ve already improved since starting

[fluid ridge]

doing the same right now, im just really slow

[maiden bear]

I’m gonna be cleaning up the early chapters over the next couple weeks

[fluid ridge]

okay i have an actual question casue im like never on tumbler

[maiden bear]

I’m not good with tumblr tbh

[fluid ridge]

if i go through the emergence tumbler i never get stopped, no stupid pop up, no getting send back to the start and i suddenly cant scroll down anymore, no nothing. i can just go throgh it.
any other i cant. i got send back to the start of the btts tumbler almost imidiatly and im not sure what im doing wrong

[maiden bear]

Login

[fluid ridge]

i just dont want to make an account, is that to much to ask

[maiden bear]

They won’t let you use it fully without one

[fluid ridge]

and why does it work just fine with emergence

[maiden bear]

Mystery

[fluid ridge]

maaaannnn

guess i have to get an account

but its for the rain world content
i have to do it

[north herald]

For the greater good

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [47]
edits for chapter 1-3 are done.
tomorrow i will try to get 4-6 done and after that its time for chapter 7

[fluid ridge]

i just was hit with an epiphany

Be warned you all, Innocence gets an oppening log in chapter 8 (would have done 7 but that feels out of place)

and as much as i want to, no there will be no huge calloutpost things, this is a gen fic for a reason

but hey, i can still hint a bit

[north herald]

NOW KISS- oh nevermind it's a gen fic :( /j

[fluid ridge]

Bruhhhh

UI chatlogs are done and in the end there is like not a single cute calloutpost thing in it

all just angst

[next temple]

Yum

[fluid ridge]

i also should be writing chapter 7 instead of that, but hey

[next temple]

You say that but ||this is actually slowburn setting up for the future isn't it ||

[unborn vault]

It's fine, everything is going to be okay.

[fluid ridge]

damn, how did you know

[fluid ridge]

it better be

[unborn vault]

Now, imagine it in cursive.

[fluid ridge]

[unborn vault]

Imagine a bar around it.

And imagine a number to the left.

[fluid ridge]

also quick question, why are you dead???

[unborn vault]

That number is 10.

[unborn vault]

I forgot, to be honest!

[fluid ridge]

well rip ig

[unborn vault]

Epochs realized it, you haven't?

[fluid ridge]

oh no, did i miss a refrence

[next temple]

I have ||OMORI|| brain rot afterall

[fluid ridge]

huh?

a refrece to that?

[unborn vault]

Yes.

[fluid ridge]

and i dont get it

[unborn vault]

||The stress bar.||

[fluid ridge]

welp. got to replay the game ig

[fluid ridge]

OHHHHHH

[unborn vault]

||Fight with Basil.||

[fluid ridge]

bahahaba thats just mean

[next temple]

||That phrase is forever ruined for me ||

[unborn vault]

I am evil now.

[fluid ridge]

villian arc

[unborn vault]

My heart seeks a golden vengeance for they who killed me.

[unborn vault]

||To be honest, it was more so redefined than ruined for me, but my heart will forever skip a beat hearing that.||

[unborn vault]

Person smiling, leaning on grave meme?

[fluid ridge]

tbh, thats a sign for you to get of the internet

[unborn vault]

Why can my brain not be like this when I need it to remember shit?

[fluid ridge]

that would be practical

[unborn vault]

Looking at how long I spend each day doing internet shit, that is a perfectly fair diagnosis to make.

Alright, yes, yes, I'll get off after I finish this one thing with someone.

[fluid ridge]

[unborn vault]

Actually, short break now.

[fluid ridge]

perfect

tbh i need one too, ive been writing for 10 hours already

[next temple]

Holymoly...

[fluid ridge]

well not just writing ig, other stuff too, but all on the pc so its the same amount of bad

be seeing you in maybe two hours

i need to touch some grass

[next temple]

I also need to catch a commute home from work soon.

(Yes i know it's Sunday)

[next temple]

Wait, is 'to catch a commute' an actual idiom or did i just hallucinate that up

[maiden bear]

Not really. You can catch a train/plane/bus

Though it makes enough sense that it’s not jarring

The phrase works as catch a (vehicle) or ride

[next temple]

Ah

I wonder how did i get that mixed up

[maiden bear]

Learning a language is tough

Your skills are already really impressive, though. Other than the occasional odd idiom I can’t tell you’re not native based on the way you type

[next temple]

Aw, thank you!

[unborn vault]

What about me?

Do you think I'm a native?

[maiden bear]

Are you not?

[fluid ridge]

as someone who read your stuff so far, 99%
you use so many words ive never hurt that you either have to be or are all the time in google translater

[maiden bear]

I’m actually surprised how many people in the channel are not first language English speakers

[unborn vault]

No, I've just got my head always stuck in the thesaurus.

Not while actively chatting, but my works do have what I like to affectionately call "thesaurus vomit".

[fluid ridge]

the first time ive read it i thought i was dreaming, so many words ive never heard and i was going back and forth between the story and the translater

[unborn vault]

Remember that I am not claiming that I'm not a native.

[maiden bear]

Generally I advise trying to use as few words you can to evoke emotion/imagery/get the point across

[unborn vault]

I'm just asking you if you think I am or if you think I'm not.

[fluid ridge]

i think you are

[maiden bear]

Hmmm

Idk I’m not seeing weird phrases from you

[unborn vault]

Fair point, I have to address that with Hori's thoughts soon.

[fluid ridge]

but that question makes me unsure

[maiden bear]

So I’m gonna go with yes first language or has spoken it from birth with native speakers

[unborn vault]

Am I a native, and I'm just gaslighting you?

Or am I not, and looking for approval?

[fluid ridge]

oh god, do i have weird phrasing

[maiden bear]

Usually the giveaway are idioms written in English but that are clearly from another language

I see it with soul a lot silly guy

[unborn vault]

Spoilers - I'm not, and my practice is mainly the Internet.

I was trained to speak English as fluently as possible.

[maiden bear]

It worked!

[unborn vault]

But I'm no native. I know almost no native person.

[fluid ridge]

it worked way to good

[unborn vault]

If you test my pronunciation, that's a different story.

[maiden bear]

Ah yeah speaking and writing are two different beasts

I also have a lot of trouble with accents. I feel so bad sometimes when I can’t understand people… it’s me, I swear

[fluid ridge]

thats the one thing i actually can do quite well. now spelling mistakes and grammar on the other side

[unborn vault]

You understand me well.

[maiden bear]

That’s funny! It’s so normally the opposite

[unborn vault]

I think I'm at a point where I'd be able to guess what a word's meant to be written like, just by the sound of it.

Unless it's a strange word.

[maiden bear]

We have plenty of those

[unborn vault]

Try one.

[maiden bear]

Also lots of loaner words from other languages

[fluid ridge]

i hate the comma plasement in english so much!
why do i have to place two commas around 'however'???? one should be enogh and it is nicer to read and looks better

[maiden bear]

Especially French

[maiden bear]

Uhhh my brain is failing to think of an example

[unborn vault]

It's because of how people say it in a sentence.

[ornate grail]

"Onomatopoeia"

[unborn vault]

"You, however, are forbidden from doing this."

[fluid ridge]

but isnt it more like

this is true, however, i fail to see the point here
that is true break however no break i fail to see the point here

placing a second comma there just feels gross

[unborn vault]

Don't most people use a break after however?

[maiden bear]

I would go for ‘This is true. However, I fail to see the point’

[fluid ridge]

I however cant agree

placing commas there is also terrible

dont you just say it in one go???

[maiden bear]

No

[unborn vault]

No?

[maiden bear]

I pause

[unborn vault]

I don't.

I pause.

[fluid ridge]

this stands against all the grammatic i learned in school for my own language. its so confusing
one comma at max, not more

[unborn vault]

German is more practical in some ways.

[maiden bear]

English cares not for your sensible language rules

Kneel to our nonsense

[fluid ridge]

and in others a fricking joke

[unborn vault]

I am frustrated by its almost nonsensical gendered nouns.

[fluid ridge]

exactly

it sucks

[maiden bear]

Oh god oh god I am so glad English does not use gendered nouns

[unborn vault]

Behold.

Milk is feminine.

Egg is neutral.

And cheese is fucking masculine.

[maiden bear]

I love our non binary words, truly progressive

[unborn vault]

Who the fuck thought of this?

Is cheese not a milk product?

[fluid ridge]

and yet no good translation for they/them

[fluid ridge]

just sounds better like that

[maiden bear]

We forced they/them to work through pure stubbornness

[unborn vault]

Not yet.

[unborn vault]

No, no it does not.

[fluid ridge]

they better give me sth good sooner then later

[maiden bear]

Ngl I’m a bit older and it took a while for my brain to accept they/them as a valid pronoun

But repetition did the job

[unborn vault]

It took me a while, too.

[maiden bear]

(This was purely a language thing not denying nonbinary gender)

[fluid ridge]

at least you dont have discussions over what gender the Nutella has (its feminin, screw everyone that says sth else)

[unborn vault]

Die Nutella does sound the best.

[maiden bear]

I grew up with they/them pronouns just not being a thing

It started being common after I graduated high school

At least in my area (southern US)

[fluid ridge]

than there are those fool that say das, or dare is say, der. HOOWWWW????

[unborn vault]

Der Nutella is a bit "why", das Nutella sounds off.

[fluid ridge]

not common for us at all, you usually just say that persons name instead of their pronouns since we dont have any good ones

[maiden bear]

‘Das Nutella’ yep, sure is.

[unborn vault]

Exactly.

[fluid ridge]

steps on worm

[unborn vault]

I think when you loan a word, it should work similarly as to how it works in the original.

Die sounds closest to the.

In this case, it only makes sense.

Even if the language it was borrowed from does not make sense.

[fluid ridge]

i really dont wanna know how people would go about learining all that junk, im happy i just know it

[unborn vault]

Memorization!

It's not fun.

[gleaming snow]

Der Nutella

[unborn vault]

So far, it's the part I hate most.

[unborn vault]

Dungeon.

[fluid ridge]

every single gender for each word

[unborn vault]

For each base word.

Which is still a fuck ton.

[maiden bear]

Die Nutella = the Nutella
Der Nutella = their Nutella
Das Nutella = that’s Nutella

Hope that helps

[fluid ridge]

FOR YOUR SIN APOLIGIZE WITH CALLOUTPOST FANART!!!!!!

[next temple]

Maybe it was my false memory again but didn't you once say you're not?

[gleaming snow]

Is there any rhyme or reason to it?

[next temple]

Ah never mind

[unborn vault]

Sometimes, there is.

'Stift', meaning pen, is maskulin.

Therefore, any words ending with '-stift" is maskulin.

Same thing goes with any 'base' word.

[gleaming snow]

I apologize with "CALLOUTPOST FANART!!!!!!"

[fluid ridge]

its Die Nutella unless you end it with glass, than its Das Nutellaglas

[fluid ridge]

HEHEHEHHE

[maiden bear]

Nutella has glass? I don’t think that’s healthy

[unborn vault]

Glass, as in, the container.

[fluid ridge]

wait not like that

[unborn vault]

Also, no, I don't care that this is sarcasm.

I will reply with 100% seriousness.

[maiden bear]

Fancy Nutella. Glass jar. Pinky up

[next temple]

My native lang doesn't have the equivalent word for that pronoun so imagine my struggle when I first learned of them

[fluid ridge]

sameee

[maiden bear]

English didn’t. They was kind of shoehorned into that role

They was plural

[unborn vault]

English is a bunch of temporary fixes that became permanent.

[maiden bear]

Though we did colloquially use it for people you don’t know the gender or name of

[fluid ridge]

german plural is just feminin singular so it doesnt go that easy for us

[maiden bear]

Oof

What do you do for non binary folks?

Use either or?

[fluid ridge]

saying there name over and over again

[maiden bear]

Oof

[next temple]

The awkwardness must be unimaginable...

[fluid ridge]

so name is really gonna do that? name is only on names first lap and i dont think name can do it

kill me

i hate it

[unborn vault]

"Herr" and "Frau", no third option.

And to be honest, I'm in no position to make one.

[fluid ridge]

you get the d for Divers

at least sth

[unborn vault]

Also, giveaway that someone might be German, they capitalise nouns sometimes.

Because we do that in German.

[fluid ridge]

dont look at my work dont look at my work dont look at my work.
i capitalize like each word i deem important. no capitalization just looks wrong

[next temple]

Actually now that I think about it, my native lang has a pronoun that's just applicable to any gender(and while not very formal it's neutral/friendly enough to use in any conversation) so maybe that's why I was confused back when I learned this is a big thing to consider.

[fluid ridge]

it just looks wrong if only the names get capitalized, as if it was done by mistake

[maiden bear]

Ancient-style

It’s called Class

[unborn vault]

I do that for Ancients.

[fluid ridge]

i actually looked over their style and they definetly capitalize stuff, i just crank it up to 100

[maiden bear]

Me capitalizing a bunch of shit in one wish granted like

[unborn vault]

But among the Iterators, I use more standard English.

[maiden bear]

This looks stupid

[unborn vault]

The Germans would like to know your location.

[fluid ridge]

noaarrrrrr
very pretty

[maiden bear]

I’ll fight

[fluid ridge]

[next temple]

slowly back away

My lang doesn't even have capital letters

[unborn vault]

Alright. I will be bringing an electric guitar.

And violin.

And piano.

[fluid ridge]

not even at the beginning of a sentence???

[next temple]

Oh god, now I'm reminded of early days that I wrote English in all small letters

[unborn vault]

That sounds painful.

And like how I did German when I was learning it.

Didn't capitalise a lot of letters that did need it.

[unborn vault]

Forgive me.

[next temple]

Nope.
Also no need for tenses, just put the time indicators( i.e. 'yesterday') and vola! That's talking about the past event!

[unborn vault]

That's actually genius.

If you don't put one in, I suppose you'll just assume that it happened today.

[fluid ridge]

no tenses??? guess i have to move, i hate those

[unborn vault]

Or dependent on the context.

It makes sense. It makes so much sense.

Just say "some time in the past, this happened."

[maiden bear]

tense is stupid why are there all these ruuules

[unborn vault]

When? I don't know, but in the past!

[fluid ridge]

would be so much better

[unborn vault]

I'm used to tenses.

But it's a better and more practical system, just saying.

[maiden bear]

I just wanna write a stupid story about a worm boy why do I have to know grammar?

[next temple]

Oh, well, kinda. Usually it's context-based anyway. Like we just guess based on what was said in the conversations

[fluid ridge]

i always slip from my simple past to the one that has the had infront of everything

[unborn vault]

Simple past is for when it's done at a specific time in the past.

[fluid ridge]

he liked it??? NO. He had liked it. screw you grammar, ignore the last sentense where i did not use that tense

[unborn vault]

Alright. Crash course.

Simple is for when it's done at a specific time.

For example, today, yesterday, tomorrow.

Continuous is for when it is ongoing.

And you know when it's done.

[next temple]

Ah. Past that was more past than the 'current' past

[fluid ridge]

what even is Plusquamperfert in englisch?

[unborn vault]

Perfect is for when you know it's already happened by some point in time.

It is already done.

It happened prior to the time period you are describing.

You also don't have to know when exactly.

[maiden bear]

I don’t give it any thought my brain just knows what’s appropriate from so many years of reading

[unborn vault]

For example, "I've given the gift".

[maiden bear]

But I think that comes from nearly exclusively reading professionally published works

[fluid ridge]

same but im not sure so i just pray that im right

[unborn vault]

Check if you're not sure.

[maiden bear]

If you’re reading FanFiction exclusively you can’t… count on the things you’re picking up being correct

[unborn vault]

This.

It's mostly intuition.

[soft agate]

Wasn't it. 'I have had toast in the morning'
The have had

[next temple]

That was one of the causes of my frustration with English btw.

Like, 'but it's already happened? Why not everything in the past uses past simple?? It's ongoing? But it's also already done!?'

[fluid ridge]

@unborn vault pls help

[maiden bear]

Most fics are not written with correct grammar we’re novices

[unborn vault]

I am not good with German.

[maiden bear]

HFISH isn’t on the level of a published work either

Not even close

[unborn vault]

Lies!

[fluid ridge]

@soft agate pls help

[soft agate]

why should I help, as a fellow german?

[maiden bear]

I just went back and corrected dozens of mistakes in HFISH c1

[soft agate]

I got calmly asked to drop english and not take it to my abitur

[unborn vault]

Simple corrections, they always slip by.

And we aren't publishing it. You are one step closer to being perfect.

[soft agate]

Yes, Amany. My english was that bad. None of my english teachers had faith in me managing an exam in english

[maiden bear]

Yep there’s no need to sweat not being on the level of professional work

We’re just goobers writing stories for fun

If reading it is fun you’ve been successful

[unborn vault]

You don't say?

[fluid ridge]

mine was bad from 5-6 grade but after that i suddenly only got 1s and 2s, before that? exclusivly 5s

[soft agate]

My english grades were never better than bad 3s if even

[fluid ridge]

i just refused to learn the grammar and that screwed me over, i still suck at it till this day (shocker ik) but ik how to talk in english pretty good. its the writing i suffer with

[next temple]

My English performance was kinda bad-ish up until grade 6, then in grade 7 I had to learn English to use to explore forums back then and suddenly it improved

[unborn vault]

Oh, wow, the coincidence is funny!

When people are incentivised to learn it, they do it quick!

[maiden bear]

You mean learning is easier when it’s fun and has an immediately rewarding purpose?

Hmm.

[woven python]

i heard calloutpost i have risen

[fluid ridge]

thats the spirit

[woven python]

english has always been my best subject but a number of things have made me a bit worse at it now u_u

[woven python]

id die for them

[fluid ridge]

id kill for them

and yet when i had UI write a short message in my work i made her insult him

nth cute, just angst

[woven python]

awww true love

[fluid ridge]

definitely, you dox your partner first, kiss comes after

[maiden bear]

Awww, they hate each other. I want them to kiss

[fluid ridge]

well UI doesnt hate him per se, shes just really mad casue noone answers her cause everyone is busy being depressed

[next temple]

You were willing to condemn me into exile blackmail for the agenda

[fluid ridge]

and i will do it again

speaking of which...

hey Epochsssss

how ya doing

[next temple]

F-fine i think

[woven python]

unparalleled "why are you sad lol just go outside" innocence

[fluid ridge]

thats so nice to hear. truly. you wanna know what might make you even happier

[fluid ridge]

well shes sad too, just wants everyone else to actually talk to her

[maiden bear]

Neurodivergence struggle

[next temple]

I dont think i need to know! i think surprises are nice too!

[maiden bear]

The things you say are pushing others away, but you can’t for the life of you understand why

[fluid ridge]

hmmmmm

okay, i will tell you another day

just you wait

[fluid ridge]

maybe not what i was going for but definetly sth i headcannon for her

man now i just want to send it in casue i dont want to wait until im done with two entire chapters

like, she got one short little chat with every important iterator. they just all cant respond

also nsh kinda came across as a dick, but hey, bro gets his momoent to shine later

[north herald]

I believe cause it's like a fuckin... uhh... how was it called... well it's like something the sentence could go without?

[fluid ridge]

its just so painfully. grammarly always tells me, put a cooma here and put one there too! but it just looks so ugly to me.

[north herald]

In polish we have no they/them

[fluid ridge]

i just put them like i read the sentence but i dont read the sentece correct

[fluid ridge]

no they/them for any of us

[north herald]

Well I mean we have a they/them. But it's for plural. And it's gendered

[fluid ridge]

exactly the same here, if your a they/them your just feminin

she singular: sie
they plural: sie

what is that???

its really annoying

[unborn vault]

Also, Sie.

[north herald]

Yeah no german is just a thing I am not questioning

[unborn vault]

Big S.

[fluid ridge]

never doing that tbh

ik your supposed to in letters and all that but thats just so stupid for me

[unborn vault]

Formell? Fuck that shit.

[north herald]

And that's for Sir/Ma'am

Like, why???

[unborn vault]

Don't question it.

[north herald]

Actually now I wonder how non-binary people function in languages with no they/them

[fluid ridge]

names

only names

at least from the few that i know

thats just how we do it

[north herald]

That could get annoying fast

[unborn vault]

If I hate you, I'd mail you individual letters that spell out "fuck you and your stupid shit".

[fluid ridge]

i think their is sth like xer?

not sure

[fluid ridge]

it does

but it does it job just fine

[unborn vault]

We forced they-them into this position.

[fluid ridge]

oh god, i just looked up a wiki artical from the first non binary character that came to mind, translated it to german and all it does is really just repeat the name over and over again

its so dumb to read

[next temple]

That's so cursed

[fluid ridge]

well at least they respect the pronouns

[unborn vault]

I don't care if I lose my mind, I'm already cursed! /lyr

[north herald]

God

[fluid ridge]

yikes, i just realized how short my first chapter actually is when you compare it with the rest

the beginning for chapter 8 is almost as long as the entirety of chapter 1

[north herald]

Surely it's justifiable if you call it a prologue

[fluid ridge]

at least thats what i get from this image

now the last two are in the progress of still being written but besides that they chapters just get longer and longer

[fluid ridge]

true, i will just use that as an excuse

but the epilogue that im planning might get a lot longer then the prologue, hope noone notices

[next temple]

epilogue can be very long tho. it's to tie up loose ends

prologue can be whatever length from very short to very long, since its role is to establish the tone/basics of the story

[fluid ridge]

ahhhh, well if thats the case

the epiloug will just be 100k calloutpost and nth else

Drymm!!!

i saw you typing, tell me your thoughts

[next temple]

oh. so you did plan this. you intentionally leave that as loose end?!?

[fluid ridge]

who knows

[ornate grail]

LMAO was I??? Not aware that I was, but I support long epilogue Gimme feelings

Might have been me deleting an accidental name click ping on mobile

But yes, I shall read SoonTM. Hopefully this week, lighter coursework

[fluid ridge]

nice to hear!

also congrats on your first chapter. set the tone really good and i cant wait for all the gore and angst tags to happen to these poor characters

[ornate grail]

THANK! Most of it is fairly canon-typical, so not too far out there. I think. I hope

also a bunch of short chatlogs for chapter 8 and all of them are done as well.

[fluid ridge]

@surreal sinew

bumm

welcome in my domain

[surreal sinew]

yo

[fluid ridge]

i think its fine if i write that in here

i think here its laid instead of lay

maybe instead of 'as far as to see' 'far enogh to see' ? not sure if the sentence is wrong but it does sound a bit rough

again, i think its laid here, but tbh i alway get that corrected to lay as well so im not too sure

[surreal sinew]

i quickly asked chatgpt and it said it's right, idk tho

[fluid ridge]

nooooo! im being disproven by ai /j

tbh i alway get that corrected too by gammarly but it just sounds wrong to me so i always change it back

but if chatgbt says so it should be okay, again, im not native so im really not the best with that stuff, sry

[surreal sinew]

all good

i should probably get grammarly too

[fluid ridge]

it is really useful

helps me not upload my stuff with 100+ mistakes, only like 50 instead

okay. back to reading i go

i think you dont need the comma here? or maybe remove the with? the sentence just sounds weird to me

[maiden bear]

Lay/lays/lied/lie is one of the English things I actually struggle with

There are only a couple things like this that ever throw me off but lay/lie is one of them

[maiden bear]

No comma

[fluid ridge]

its so weird, i just alway write laid and leave it at that

lay just sounds so wrong

[surreal sinew]

honestly yea i agree

[maiden bear]

Idk why it’s gotta be so confusing

Can never remember this

[fluid ridge]

||maybe "as rain began to fall" instead of "and rain began to fall" ? again, the sentence sounds a bit rough,||

[maiden bear]

Both work

[fluid ridge]

correctign the correcter i see
well we both know its needed with my skill

[maiden bear]

Dude

I cannot believe

How much you have improved from the first thing you sent me

It’s actually amazing

[fluid ridge]

well thank you

thats always nice to hear

[maiden bear]

I’m so stoked to see it

Hard work paying off

[fluid ridge]

hehehe

okay back to reading

@surreal sinew okay im done

and dude wth, for your first work that is written like abnormally good!!!

like the way your describe all the scenes and write in general is really beutiful

||i also like teh idea that monk and surv dont get separated||

[surreal sinew]

thank youuuuuu

[fluid ridge]

do you plan on writing more chapters or will it be a one shot?

casue honestly, if you write more im here for it

[surreal sinew]

i do plan to write more chapters

[fluid ridge]

||i would love to see what changes when both of them explore the world together||

[fluid ridge]

nice!

[maiden bear]

New fic? Where?

[north herald]

Huh, what did I miss?

[fluid ridge]

should be not to high in stories discussion

[surreal sinew]

#stories-discussion message

[fluid ridge]

but he plans to post it on ao3

[fluid ridge]

more stories

[surreal sinew]

thanks for all the feedback though, i honestly did not expect to get that much

do i need to repay you by reading something you've written

[fluid ridge]

well thats what the channel is here for

[fluid ridge]

you may repay me with calloutpost propaganda (this is a joke, im not serious)

[maiden bear]

Bout to check it out

[fluid ridge]

no need to repay anything

[surreal sinew]

what's calloutpost

[fluid ridge]

he

hehehe

[north herald]

Okay yeah lay just feels wrong, blind guess, was laying?

[surreal sinew]

[north herald]

FP x UI :)

[fluid ridge]

do you really want to know my young friend

[fluid ridge]

eyyyyyy

[surreal sinew]

ohhhhhh

[fluid ridge]

i wanted to be dramatic about it

[north herald]

Cartoon villian looking aah /j

[fluid ridge]

curse you piotr, alway one step ahead of me

okay since we're doen here i have to go back to writing

have to earn that minor injury tag somehow afterall

[north herald]

Define minor

[fluid ridge]

thats actually kinda hard ig

ehhhmmm

since ive read a lot of gore, some of it being really bad, i scale from that

in that case it would be minor

[north herald]

On the scale of "bruise" to "just a flesh wound (/ref)"

[fluid ridge]

ehhh

spear in leg and turning it around in it?

a bit of blood here and there

nothing i would have problems with but im not sure if its too bad

[north herald]

But why would the puppet have bloo-

||... artificer tag...?||

[fluid ridge]

oh god no

[north herald]

Shit I can't format

[fluid ridge]

at least not for now, dont give me ideas

[north herald]

So either scavs or pebbles can bleed

Or that was an example?

[fluid ridge]

||tbh, from what i wrote so far it sounds as if it could be her, but its not||

[fluid ridge]

who knows

well i do

but you dont

man i really like that saint grin one, its so funny to me

[north herald]

Now it's time to find the right emote in the big roster

[north herald]

/j

[fluid ridge]

i still want the monk thx sign one back so badly

why did they remove it?!?!?!

it was so practical, no instead i have to use when i say thx which is cute and all but the sign was so much better

[gleaming snow]

Ask courier if you're curious

[fluid ridge]

i can do that?

is that not to, lets say unimportant, for asking them?

[gleaming snow]

Yup!

[fluid ridge]

[gleaming snow]

daily update log [49]
the script for chapter 7 is complete with 58 check points to work on
at the moment i have 17/58
this chapter is gonna be hard to write, omg

[north herald]

Well that seems like quick progress unless you had that much done already

[fluid ridge]

i did write the 17 checkpoint i already had over the last few days, today i only finished the script so its not that much of a huge jump

[north herald]

Ah yeah that makes sense

[fluid ridge]

im no soul, as sad as that is

[soft agate]

Don't compare yourself to me.
I am irresponsible

[north herald]

shrimply quit your job (not actual advice) /j

[gleaming snow]

Any progress is good progress! Looking forward to the chapter

I expect 10 chapters worth of calloutpost dialogue /j

[fluid ridge]

will do that

[next temple]

Congrats
You're speedrunner pink now!

[fluid ridge]

I'm pink indeed

but i will also try a bit more speedrunning, its really fun

im aiming for that Arti story run with a sub 30

????

im so confused right now

this is my first note of the entire thing and i dont remember writing about speedrunning in there?

now yes, i did write about it at the end of chapter 6, that i do remember, but why is it in the opening note of the entire work???

i dont even remember editing that think like ever

ehhhh

i think im going crazy

[ornate grail]

Amany prophecies

[fluid ridge]

okay yeah ive never edited that thing

thats the note of the first chapter

i think that is the weird thing that happens when you have notes for you entire thing?

wait no

hmmmmm

i dont get how that happened tbh

guess i will just edit that

[next temple]

More supporting evidence for that theory of you being a time traveler and making a stable time loop so that calloutpost comes into existence....

[fluid ridge]

damn...

i should really start constructing my time machine already

[maiden bear]

Y’all never listen me!! I speak only the truth

Oh banan’s being a crazy old lady again

No

time travel…

[next temple]

Even if we had believed you, we wouldn't have been able to do anything... This is preordained to happen...

another lazy day with me only writing 2 checkpoints.
i just cant work in this heat

[tranquil yoke]

real, summer heat makes writing so damn hard

[fluid ridge]

it just makes me nonstop tired

till now it was raining like all the time so it wasnt so bad but now we jumped from a rainy summer right to a "where are we, a volcano?" - summer, and i hate it

[tranquil yoke]

I know, and it feels like it's gonna be like another 2 months or something till we're out of it

[fluid ridge]

better not, i cant write like that

[tranquil yoke]

maybe july will be cooler

[fluid ridge]

im actually scared that fall will be this years summer

its already so delayed so it woudnt surprise me

[tranquil yoke]

well, at the very least it's a talking point that is globally relatable, I guess

[north herald]

That would be fucked

[tranquil yoke]

well, I'm a strong advocate for the power of belief, so maybe if we all just really believe that it will cool off next month it'll happen!

minute 22:15

i hate this game so much sometimes

[north herald]

"Fuck this ambush predator bullshit, i'll just kill you"

Also those thumbnails lmao

[fluid ridge]

i was soooo mad

im not even sure if i could have gotten the sub 30

i still dont use the house of braids short cut and i died to sk once

but still

[north herald]

Honestly I tried wall as arti and got stonewalled, and then I tried sm wall with a mask and it was ezpz

[fluid ridge]

that was so dumb

[fluid ridge]

yep

never going there without a mask again

the worst is i debated on if i should shelter or not

then i thought, naahhhhhhh i will be fine, and got imidiatly killed

sheltered the second time i reached the point, was not about to risk it again

[north herald]

"Nah, i'd win"

I think if I am to do a speedrun I would do moon%

[fluid ridge]

but thats boring /j

i really really realyl just like the arti story run for some reason

but man does it crush my heart like each attampt i do it

[north herald]

I mean it seems quick and easy and fun

And does not involve the bossfight

Also funny thing during my scav king fight he jumped onto my pile of assorted explosives and got instakilled

[fluid ridge]

nahhhh wtf

pls tell me you have a clip, i really want to see that

[north herald]

Yeah I think I do

[north herald]

Okay well I think he had lost 1 or 2 armor plates before that but point stands

I was like "wait I won"

[fluid ridge]

why cant that happen to me

[north herald]

It did take like 10-20 attempts and I ended up getting warpmod to just teleport myself to the final room to save on walking cause it's my game and I get to choose what i'm doing :)

[fluid ridge]

i once used beastmaster, just gave myself a singularity bomb and used that

[north herald]

Actually, scav elites can spawn with singularity bombs, yea?

What if you got a run where one dropped it

[fluid ridge]

oh yeah i heard that somewhere before, still cant believe it

[fluid ridge]

i would kill my self on accident instead

[north herald]

I think I saw it, my friend was fucking around with beastmaster spawning elites I believe and then suddenly a singularity bomb went off

[fluid ridge]

lovely

not like those things are already annoying enoght to deal with

[north herald]

The one in a million run or some shit

[fluid ridge]

you wanna know what i would lose that too?

gimmi a sec

minute 30:10

i died so often to that jump its not funny anymore

i dont even know why but most of the time i just hit the ceiling and fall to my death, its so stupid

[north herald]

H o w

[fluid ridge]

idk!!!

but it happens so ofthen that im extra careful whenever i get there

[fluid ridge]

well i hope i never have to see that

[north herald]

It'll either be your lucky or worst day

[fluid ridge]

probably both

but i have to go now, its time for the best hours of the day-
work

and not the fun writing kind of work

[north herald]

Oh damn cya

[gleaming snow]

This is what's officially called "being rain worlded" 😆
I have so many silly stupid clips like that

Huge improvements in your pb, well done!

[fluid ridge]

well thank youu

[fluid ridge]

me too, most of them to dropwigs as well, i hate them so much

[north herald]

Actually i am curious how you do scav king fight

[fluid ridge]

how exactly do you mean?

i always just do the same

get bombs, put them all on the left, get on that high thing, one explosionjump and first hit, wait till he comes over, pray you get lucky, stun spear thorugh and then just spam

thats what i always do

[north herald]

Well any tactics or stuff

[fluid ridge]

maybe not the best for speedruns since im waiting longer then needed but its not to bad

only died once till now

well out of 4 times so maybe not the highest success rate but its not to shabby

[north herald]

31:10 holy shit that dropwig did a grapple worm snatch into roll

[fluid ridge]

wtf

they can flip??`?

ive never seen that before

[north herald]

TACTICAL ROLL

[fluid ridge]

dude is going for the grapple worm any %. the movement is crazy!!!!!

[north herald]

also I just saw the typo in the title lmao

[fluid ridge]

huhhhh???

wait let me find it#

nope dont see it

[fluid ridge]

is it aim?

wait noooo

i wrote dropwigs with a b

whoops

[north herald]

Dro🅱️wigs

I thought it was intentional ngl

[fluid ridge]

naahhhh

[north herald]

Well it is kinda funny

[fluid ridge]

bruh, and then i wrote it correct in the description

[fluid ridge]

im gonna keep it

yikes, same with the speedrun.com description. how did i only mess up the title

[north herald]

DRO🅱️WIG

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [52]
So much editing

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [53]
now 26/57 check points are done for now including the end pov for the chapter.
the chapter also lost one of the checkpoints since it kinda sucked and i just scrapped it entirely.
now to the big things. i scripted the entirety of chapter 8 and the beginning of chapter 9 and finally found a way to fix story points that till now i did not really like. while i did have to edit a few extry details in earlier chapters for that (mainly chapter 6) i think its still understandable without seeing those changers.
only thing that is left is to now write the diffucult parts of chapter 7

also while i did manage to get a lot done today the same might not be possible for most of next week since i did not get even one single day off of work so i wont really have that much time

[north herald]

Yippie

[fluid ridge]

word count from the actual story versus the script

not too much of a difference since i usually write each script after the newerst chapter is out but still sth

also nice to look at word count for the script, that will sadly change since im still not done for today

[woven python]

you write scripts?

[fluid ridge]

yep

they help me stay motivated

i have an overall story script too but that is on paper

[woven python]

i do not do that. the extent of my planning is "fuck it we ball"

[fluid ridge]

i will try that too sometimes

but since i want the story to stay consistent, and im fucking awful at that without a script, i have one

also i like script writing

well, only for the entire story tho

writing chapter scripts is not so much fun

and i usually change stuff anyways

but i use them as those chekcpoints.

minimum should be one check point a day but best case i do like 20

[tranquil yoke]

I do something similar... but 41k for a script is kina crazy tho

[fluid ridge]

eh

well its not just the script

i did copy paste all the already written chapters in there

[tranquil yoke]

ohhhhh, that makes more sense

[fluid ridge]

so its 33k words plus the beginning of chapter 7 plus the scripts for chapter 8 and some parts of 9

also

wait gimmi a sec

most of them just look like that

the script pages are the ones i did on paper

[tranquil yoke]

yeah, I don't get that precise with my notes (though maybe I should), I usually just have like 1-3 paragraph summary of each chapter and then my little character reminders for each character

[fluid ridge]

better example

did have to cover some stuff tho

i usually dont write much more since my actual notes are in my notebook

the rest of the words comes from stuff i already wrote for future chapters

[tranquil yoke]

seems like a solid system

[fluid ridge]

helps a lot

espeacially since my memory kinda sucks and i would just forget some of my ideas otherwise

[tranquil yoke]

guh, I feel that. I never write scenes ahead of time and then I get to them and I'm just like... "I know I had a good idea here. What was it?"

[fluid ridge]

wait now i want to send a script pace

*page

let me just

that one is kinda funny

also ignore my terrible writing style and spelling mistakes

but that one features a scrapped scene

i originally wanted pebbs to expirement on some neurons before feeding them to the rot

but then i thought, how would he even do that in his state?

than i thought it would be kinda random for him to even just pick up some random neurons on the way too

so i just deleted it

[north herald]

Mr smart guy right there

[fluid ridge]

i swear he had his reasons

[north herald]

"Fuck around and find out"

[fluid ridge]

oh god i got another

here you can see me changing my mind mid writing

i alway put the ALSO! if either change my mind or have sth important to add

kinda did it a bit too often here

but it gets the point across

there is also one script page i really would love to share but its the one for chapter 8 so that wont do

its just funny casue i wrote the script befroe i remembered like the most importatn plot point which i just overlooked so i had to rewrite the entire thing

most of the chapter is in a (Stop! How will ----------? Change of plan. -----------)

Its so dumb

i dont even know how i could forget such an important point

[woven python]

i wish i had the foresight to plan stuff out

[fluid ridge]

tbh, i got the idea for the story, took the next few weeks to adding to it whenever i had time and suddenly had an entire script

now im writing said script with actual words

i just really like the coming up with the story phase

writing it, while a lot of fun too, will never be as enjoyable as coming up with the story itself and putting the words on paper

and the best thing is when your writing out your ideas and you suddenly get struck with such a cool idea

[woven python]

i get like. ideas in my head and then i find ways to string the ideas together

[fluid ridge]

had that with one of the secondary povs

at first i only had that one i thought was cool and suddenly now i end each chapter with another pov

[fluid ridge]

its so fun!!!

[woven python]

it is!! it's like going on a road trip in my brain lol

[fluid ridge]

i was actually sad when i was done

i spent like a month on the script, adding to it whenever i had time, and now that its been done for 54 days (i only know that number since after the script was done i began with the daily update logs) i miss writing on it

and its not like i will write such a huge script for each of my stories

only the really long ones

the rango fic for exampel doesnt even have a simple script

i have ideas of course, but i didnt note them down, just have them in my head

its small so it works, but this story? i keep forgetting plot points by the day so the script helps a lot

okay but now back to writing, my goal is still a new chapter tomorrow and i dont even have it halfway done

i need to stop distracting myself

[maiden bear]

rango mentioned

[fluid ridge]

still no updates from what you got to see

[maiden bear]

someday...

[fluid ridge]

but i do plan a break from this story after chapter 10 and in that time i want to try and finish it

[maiden bear]

take your time :3c

banan is patient.... but very thirsty.... will be searching the desert for water

[fluid ridge]

to bad im not patient

maximum time for the break is two months (tho i will probably do some stuff during that) and that should be enough time to get it done

but first things first, finish chapters 7 - 10

with the end of chapter 10 i will be halfway done and will have a little mini arc done as well

so i think it fits to put my break there

[maiden bear]

I gotta get that moon x beans

otp

[fluid ridge]

me being the well informed person that i am definitly knows what that means

[maiden bear]

one true pairing

[fluid ridge]

like i said, definitly knew that

also calloutpost is the only otp i know

[maiden bear]

moon x beans...

[fluid ridge]

well i guess that counts too

@north herald
also before i forget, i listened to the song.

you are right, no clue at all what its about

but its really nice so that alone would be enough for me

tho if you would be able to get me soem subtitles i wouldnt complain

[north herald]

Hm maybe soon

[north herald]

Hm I could get it done soon but god damn would this translate in a cluncky way

And where would i drop this?

[fluid ridge]

cluncky works for me

and as for where...

no clue

I guess just put it in here?

[north herald]

Okay here goes... (whole thing/wall of text incoming)

[fluid ridge]

that was fast

[north herald]

Nah i'm just saying i am beggining

Gonna do it in one go

"What was has passed (is gone? Could work too)
It was nice, it has passed
It was nice, it has passed, it has passed
(This part above repeats twice)
Piece by piece i lose a fragment of myself
Everytime i am with you together
I fall off my legs (to my knees? Dunno)
Despite all the experiences and big ambitions (dreams? Not sure which could fit here)
I can give a lot
To leave again
I know I will be speechless again (I will be out of words again?)
So it will be easier
If you won't find me
It will be easier that way
So I will leave in the morning, become a dream (echo? Also ancients yoo)
I know it will be easier
It will be easier
It will be easier, I know
Piece by piece I pull myself together (I make myself whole? Fuckin I dunno that sounds like shit from dead space)
And I don't ask you how you feel anymore
My world spins
Despite all the hopes I knew I should have changed that
I can give plenty today
To keep it that way
I know I will be speechless again
So it will be easier
If you won't find me
It will be easier that way
So I will leave in the morning, become a dream
I know it will be easier
It will be easier
It will be easier, I know
What was has passed
It was nice, it has passed
It was nice, it has passed, it has
(Above 3 lines repeat four times)
I know I will be speechless again
So it will be easier
If you won't find me
It will be easier that way
So I will leave in the morning, become a dream
I know it will be easier
It will be easier
It will be easier, I know (this line repeats three times)"

Stuff in brackets are my notes and stuff

Okayyyy @fluid ridge

[fluid ridge]

wall of text done!!!

let me just

[north herald]

I mean I feel like it kinda ties to the ancients and maybe also moon and pessb mostly?

[fluid ridge]

that seems like some good angst matirial

and you want to make an animatic with the song?

that would be soooo cool

and the become a dream used to show echos?

that would be soooo cool

i would love to see that some time

huge thx for translating that

[north herald]

And maybe the last kinda section with moon and pebbs meeting in rubicon

[north herald]

I dunno i just pointed it out

[fluid ridge]

noooo thats perfect

[fluid ridge]

if you ever plan to do it tell me

i would love to see it

[north herald]

I mean it has been stuck to my head for a while but god damn can I not draw and animate for shit

[fluid ridge]

make it simple

i wont do to much either for mine

ive never animated in my life anyways so that wouldnt work

just an animatic

draw the frames, maybe try to animate small parts

not more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzxcfSQh6i8

that one as an example

not much is animated but its so beutiful

[north herald]

Yeah but like i said how many people in the rw fandom would even understand it

[fluid ridge]

i think if you can tell it with only the drawings that would be enogh

[north herald]

Ah, hummingbird, good one

[fluid ridge]

or add the subtitles

you now have them after all

[north herald]

but I can't even draw well

[north herald]

This is still kinda cluncky

[fluid ridge]

good enough to get the message across if you ask me

[fluid ridge]

now if banan where here she would send that jack the dog meme thing in here

also i too have to relearn drawing

and ive never even drawn any rainworl creaturer detailed before

it seems like a great practice opportunity for me at least which is why i want to start with the animatic before doing anything else

but thats just me

dont feel pressured, its a really beutiful idea but you dont have to actually do it. the idea alone is a nice thing to talk about

[north herald]

Shit, I wanna draw but I suck, I wanna animate but I suck, I wanna write but I uh... don't know where to start? I mean if you count some basic english stuff?

[fluid ridge]

since banana isnt here i will do it

but on a more serious note, its never to late to begin learning

rain world is (if you ask me at least) a really good thing to start drawing. the characters all look really simple so its not to difficult to try and sketch them

for me it really helps to use ton of refrences

and while some might not agree i thing tracing to get into it is a good way to practise too
obviosly just dont end up making it a one to one copy unless its just for you

for practice i thing copying is completly fine

if you share the progress just use credits

and we have so many talanted artists in here, just look at soul banan and drymm and simon and casper

and theres a lot more

im sure you can always ask them for tips

[north herald]

Issues is I just was never good at art at all

I mean like i can draw but very poorly

[fluid ridge]

well than begin there
