Beyond the Shell

[north herald]

Antimatter is a funny thing to mention but don't react that shit so I guess no, there was some mention of sulfur cast molds in ingame dialogue too

[fluid ridge]

no clue what that is either, so i just ignored it

tbh, i dont even get the text itself

[north herald]

Molds made out of sulfur which i have no clue what that is supposed to do but hey, science talk!!!

[fluid ridge]

science talk!!!

[north herald]

Please give an apostrophe to all "its"

[fluid ridge]

bad news, thats the ingame text copied

[north herald]

What

No

I can't believe it

[fluid ridge]

its cannon now, iterators dont use apostrophes correctly. i of course knew that and therefor have never made a mistake

[onyx furnace]

Means the disorganization of a system and the leveling out of high energy in a small space to low energy in a large space (same amount of energy just spread out)

[north herald]

Hmm in the wiki it has apostrophes

[fluid ridge]

i copied that text months ago to be fair. maybe im just going crazy

ughhh, this isnt helping
i have no clue how to start the log

i dont just wanna make it, oh hey, you guys wanna talk about this and that?

well, i did do that for the first one, but i dont wanna do it for the second

maybe i just keep the old one?

[north herald]

"HR: Please, somebody propose a better topic, i'm tired of this fruitless discussion"

[fluid ridge]

pretty much what they said in the first version

now its PI saying it

for now

maybe i will just cut NGI out and only have GS, PI, and HR

[fluid ridge]

The opening log for chapter 11 for now. Not sure if I will keep it like that tbh.
its mostly a mix between the old version and the new stuff i wanted to add. Even if i keep it like that, I will probably still have to edit it, but hey...
at least I wrote sth today

[north herald]

"Always so considerate" i'd say

[fluid ridge]

cant escape the proofreading even in a draft

tho im not complaining

[north herald]

Also is that grammarly highlighting all of that stuff or is that some other autocorrect?

[fluid ridge]

grammearly

so most of it is just really dumb

[north herald]

I think it might be drunk

[north herald]

Okay hm since it's a draft i don't know if I wanna mess with the pain of proofing images

[fluid ridge]

lmao, only say sht if its like really really bad and you cant help it

otherwise, i will probably overwork it at some point

[north herald]

2nd image "located to the east" is the right phrase i think

Not gonna point out commas cause i'd take psychic damage from trying to say where

[north herald]

||UI has reached her limit ||

[fluid ridge]

||Shes done with them all ||

i just realized that i still havent edited it that the The before any sort of house is alway capitalized

i told myself to fix that months ago

[soft agate]

I ignore it consequentially

[fluid ridge]

yikes, wrote it correct, then wrong twice, and that in the same paragraph

well okay, only worng onces since the third the isnt in the Title thingy

but still

lmao, again, two times correct, the third time wrong, all in the same paragraph

[north herald]

Oh god I did not even check for the consistency in that

I think i'd get brain damage if I were to check for that too /j

[fluid ridge]

only wrong 5/21 times

[fluid ridge]

i knew that i had to edit it for a while now, i just kinda pushed it back all the time

tho not todayyy

oh

i just saw that

neat

ignoring the text, why does grammerly hate me??? why is so much marked

[soft agate]

First of all: grammarly hates the way the Ancients capitalize

I have a similar issue with my scav talk. Grammarly hates the tribal sentence structure

[fluid ridge]

grammarly sucks

yet i will still continue to use it

[soft agate]

You should :p
I do as well.

[fluid ridge]

it does help with simple typing mistakes pretty good

among other stuff

still annoying though

whats worse then forgetting to capitalise the The? well, its forgetting the The in the first place of course
no clue how i missed that tbh

but at least all the The's have been fixed now

now time to go to bed, its past midnight already

[unborn vault]

Story chat struggles with trigonometry.

The artists know chemistry. We must not lose this war.

[fluid ridge]

I finally know how I want to start the Pebbles section of the chapter
Now I only have to begin writing

[north herald]

the first step of writing is the hardest

[fluid ridge]

hiding out in my thread while avoiding the sleep police like a champion

[ornate grail]

(Does some math) NEARLY 5 AM.....

Karessra!

Please don't do this to yourself.

[fluid ridge]

yeahhhhhh

im actually fine, i accidently slept throw almost the entire day so i did get my sleep

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [1]
(yes im starting from one again, its just easier )

Ehhhhhhh, vacation is over today so back to my actual work i must go. Now i know this was a break, but i thought that i would at least do a little bit more then i actually ended up doing
Even now, im just so unmotivated, but i still want to do something.
But all i did do was sleep i dont even know why, i just did it allllllll the time.
Back to the point though.
Since im done with my vacation I will probably try the daily update logs for a week and if that works continue, if not, just continue the break for a bit longer
Lets see what it will be

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [2]
wow, the first active day back with writing and i did....

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-rainbow-imagination-box-gif-11902316362590532272

great start, i know

[north herald]

Well at least you have the courage to say it

I have not bumped the thread yet, you should totally go back on break /j

[fluid ridge]

neverrrrrr

to be fair, i felt really motivated to write for like three hours, then i went on ao3 and read other stuff instead

[gleaming snow]

Evil Amany be like: "I'm taking a break"

[gleaming snow]

Reading is an important part of writing

[fluid ridge]

to be honest, what im doing is kinda a break

[north herald]

That's both good and evil amany, but the definition of break changes

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [3]
i did not write anything...
hey hey hey, put them pitch forks down, i wasnt done!
i did not write anythign, yes, BUT, i did brainstorm for a while.
sat down with a friend and went fishing in minecraft while talking with (more at) them all my ideas i had for chapter 11.
some new neat ideas have formed, and with it, i have pretty much the full layout for chapter 11 in front of my eyes.
a certain someone may also be happy to hear that i scrapped a bit of filler here and there since it didnt really have anyhthing to do with the plot.
on the other hand a certain someone might be not so happy to hear that while chapter 11 now has less filler, the same cant be said for chapter 15
yeah, i ended up brainstorming chapters 11 - 16 (mostly chapter 11 tho) and now i have some new ideas, with chapter 15 gettign such a big idea that i worry that it might get a little long....
could i split it? yeah, ig, but i dont wanan
im still thinking about it but for now i like the chapter to not be split.
and a longer chapter here and there wont hurt anyone, rightttttt
anyway, thats it, amany out

[north herald]

will chapter 15 become the new chapter 9-10? /j

[fluid ridge]

ehhhhh

not that much i hope

maybe 15k?

depends on how much of chapter 15 i leave for chapter 14 and 16 tho since i already moved parts over to both so it will be a little bit shorter at least

but i just kinda came up with and entire new scene that will take a bit of time to set up. whoops

its just a way for me to get one character into a state i want them to be in dead /j

[north herald]

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [4]
the start for the chapter has changed once again and now im back at square one: struggling with the first few sentences

[north herald]

[fluid ridge]

the best thing, i just got hit with the urge to draw an oc for the art fight, NOW, when i want to finally write sth

[north herald]

The artistic battle beckons thee /j

the painting is sooooo good, wth, now i have to make plan my revenge instead.
also ig spoilers for amany fields, ||but forcefully ascending someone else is probably sth she would do ||

[north herald]

when somebody insults pebbles or moon: /j

[fluid ridge]

that sounds more like flags

[north herald]

oh right those are two different characters

[fluid ridge]

lmao

man, the person that drew fields doesnt have an oc, i cant even repay them

[gleaming snow]

Looks great

[fluid ridge]

it looks sooooooooooo great

[gleaming snow]

[fluid ridge]

and now i cant even start a revange

[fluid ridge]

[gleaming snow]

I guess I'll post some crappy drawing eventually, I can't really draw, though

[fluid ridge]

everyone can draw

[gleaming snow]

You sure? #vanilla-server-challenges message

[fluid ridge]

[gleaming snow]

~~To be fair this was made to look like crap ~~/silly

[fluid ridge]

even if it would look great, im still disappointed

but there, you drew!!!

now do it again

[gleaming snow]

I'll practice art for several years to post my glorious masterpiece of an "oc"

[gleaming snow]

[fluid ridge]

i will pateningly wait

[gleaming snow]

I like your drawings by the way

[fluid ridge]

[gleaming snow]

UI for instance looks great

[fluid ridge]

UI!!!

i forgot her

i wanted to redo her design ages ago

[north herald]

-# do I dare?

[fluid ridge]

it would be fun to draw that thing

[north herald]

no i mean

check the spelling again

[fluid ridge]

i did it again

now them young people will never like me

[unborn vault]

It’s fine!

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [6]
this test week is gonna be a big failure
all i did was scratch already written stuff and now im really all the way back at the start
im blaming that on work, like what do you mean 3 10 hour shifts in a row?!!?!?!?!

[north herald]

what

[fluid ridge]

you tell me

[unborn vault]

So, that's where the hours meant to be put into my bridge has gone!

[fluid ridge]

when i logged on last time i wanted to build it only for you to tell me you already finished it

[unborn vault]

If you want to help, there's still the nether part of things.

[fluid ridge]

ugh, all these nether portal spawns suck

tho i think someone already started connecting stuff throuhg the nether roof

im not exactly sure how to do that but i will probably be the one to farm packed ice and lay out tracks

[unborn vault]

I think Epochs has begun.

My horses are now eight times faster.

I can ride them through portals without delay now.

[fluid ridge]

eyyyyy

[unborn vault]

For every second in the Nether that I ride my horse, I travel roughly 113,6 blocks in the Overworld.

[fluid ridge]

[fluid ridge]

daily update log [7]
well, test week is over and it was in all sort of ways a failure
back into my hole i shall crawl

[north herald]

Bump opportunity?
Very unlikely

[fluid ridge]

you may try

tho i would have to forget this thread for you to get a chance

[north herald]

I don't think it's doable

[fluid ridge]

since i am now forced to write each Sunday, im proudly introducing BTSundays
they will replace the daily update logs since im nowhere near full of writer energy from when i started and i couldnt keep up if i tried, so weekly updates it is instead

[north herald]

You're safe from bumps. For now /lh

Rip daily logs tho

[fluid ridge]

they will be missed

[north herald]

May their legacy carry on somewhere else

[next temple]

rip daily log, only 7 consecutive streak long ||/j ofc||

[fluid ridge]

i pushed myself into a corner where i have no make a desing for swaying flags, im screwed

[fluid ridge]

so like, i have ideas for a desing, but it just doesnt feel very swaying flags to me

i dont even know what they would look like, i have no image in my head at all, i just did the same i did with amany fields, where i didnt look at the drawing pad, drew a few random lines, then flipped them around until i saw sth and went from there, but while for her it did work since i think the desing fits, here that just isnt the case

maybe i can make that the engineer dude instead

do i even have a name for them? i dont even have prounouns i think

i do in fact do not have a name for the head of the engineers guild, i thought i had, but instead it only was the name of the Lead Engineer of the Anti-Gravitation System, who is a member of the engineers guild, but not the head. for some reason i also gave the second head of the house of coments a name and i dont even know why? ig just so the pearl doesnt sound like its going to noone, but still

hmmmmm

maybe i make the (somewhat important maybe?) third ancient the lead engineer of the ag. system instead? idk, i just like the name i gave that one

and i do think the desing would fit them alright (i have like no character for them so thats why )

BUT, that also meanst that i still dont have a swaying flags desing, curses

oh yikes, and i will have to give the engineers guild a seel

like, it wont be as bad as the Tripartite Coalition ones, but still, i dotn wanna make more seels

[fluid ridge]

sure, if hes bored enough

[next temple]

is that legal? (For the workplace)

[fluid ridge]

good question, i actually dont know

i did tell my boss that i would stay longer so i would have to work less today wich he had no issues with, but i guess he didnt expect me till the end of the day

[next temple]

well if you offered and the boss agreed then it's probably ok i guess?

Chapter 11 is finally getting somewhere. Right now its sitting on a nice word count with 3k words and the opening is mostly done.
i did scrab a lot more for that chapter which is sth, but it also got replaced with a lot of other stuff, so theres that
but yeah, the forced writing is helping me out of writers block, FINALLY, im back

The Calendar Camaraderie Comrades will come get you

[fluid ridge]

very good news and very bad news

good news, im more motivated then ever to write again

bad news, its for a completly other fandom, idk, i just got hit with insperation for a story that i like a lot. now i realyl want to write it

tho i wont, i have like 7 different stories that i already started, and the new idea i got might be one of the longer story ideas i had, as much as its a bummer, i wont start another story with all that

doesnt mean i wont spend my freetime writing notes and thinking about it tho, bts hell next chapter somewhere in 2034 i reckon

[north herald]

You write for yourselves

[fluid ridge]

well yeah

but i also like to write for others

and i really dont want to delay this story even more

[north herald]

[fluid ridge]

i have a list now

at the top, bts hell since thats already beign uploaded

then the rango fic, cause i promised that one like 4+ montsh ago

in between woaf breaks, that one really is just mostly for me tbh

and then whatever i want to write the most at any given time

[north herald]

Feels weird to say that, 4+ months ago

[fluid ridge]

i know right, time goes so fast right now

[north herald]

Yeah

[fluid ridge]

its kinda surreal

[fluid ridge]

i remember when i still had my schedule of at least one chapter each month, now there hasnt been any chapter for almost a month and a half

[north herald]

Hey, I have not posted anything on my fic in 2 weeks, I might as well be dead /j

[gleaming snow]

I haven't posted anything at all

[north herald]

[fluid ridge]

to busy with the stories helper work

[gleaming snow]

My logic follows no rhyme or reason.

I think it because I simply do.

[fluid ridge]

thats the way

[fluid ridge]

@north herald , i finally did your thingy

[north herald]

Oh my god

It's great

[fluid ridge]

had that on the backlog for so long now

finally sat down and did it

also a great way to defend my thread against your bumps

[fluid ridge]

[insert pun about shells ]

[north herald]

Whoa

is this meant to be pebbles?

[fluid ridge]

yeah

if i want to protect myself against bumbs, it should at least be bts related

[next temple]

Was this based on hermit crabs? ~~but don't they only acquire shells from deceased/empty mollusc's ones? ~~

[fluid ridge]

ehhhh, i did not think that far ahead to be honest
i just wanted to make a shell joke

[soft agate]

Looks oddly like moon‘s

New BtS plot point, folks!

[fluid ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-impossible-out-of-hand-gif-16945967

hmmmmm, i actually wanted to draw moon now, but im unsure what animal she chould be that woudl fit to the bts hell plot

maybe, i should just make her another hermit crab, since otherwise she wouldnt really have a can....

uhhhh

or maybe a turtle

lemmi look up refrenceces, a turtle could be fun

[fluid ridge]

she old, she wrinkly, she tired

[north herald]

[fluid ridge]

[north herald]

Holyyyy you sure are going

[soft agate]

Gales will be shellless

[fluid ridge]

hermit crabs without shells are cursed

also, drawing the shell is the most fun part

[north herald]

"Shell is most fun"

calls the fic "beyond the shell"
Curious
/j

[north herald]

Or with a broken shell?

... Or a micro shell

[soft agate]

With a bottle cap, a faux shell

[fluid ridge]

they just keep appearing in my folder

might be because im on a timer now, art fight ends on the third at 2 am and im not even halfway through my list

alone today, ive finishe crab 4, completed crab 5 - 7 and sketched and roughly colored crab 8, now its time for work, get back, draw more crabs, sleep, wake up, more crabs, work, and then i have 6 more hours till i have to be done, help

[gleaming snow]

Lovely art

[fluid ridge]

my first attempt in giving the os a little more unique design with the help of the eye... i might want to retry that

[fluid ridge]

lets hope i actually get sth done today

[fluid ridge]

okay, so i think im officially stuck in writers block
roughly 4 hours and only 200 words. all that happened is that pebbs now has a needle, wowwww.... and that was supposed to be written completly different, but whatever.
the thing is that in my head i really really like to think about writing later scenes, so i might just do that in an attempt to somehow get out of this. will be fun when i actually have to write those later scenes then

man, i want to be able to write as much as when i started, what happened

[soft agate]

That's the reason I put Mending and Havoc on an indefinite pause to concentrate on CD. Sometimes you hit that point where you are excited for a later part but despise the journey to get to there...

[fluid ridge]

but i dont wanna pause this story, i still love writing it very much, its just so hard getting words out right now

[soft agate]

How about an one shot detour then?

[fluid ridge]

i actually tried that

now im stuck on that as well

the only thing i was able to actually write in the last two months was the spooks to the moon chapter

[soft agate]

Well, at least something.
I am currently stuck on CD for a month at 500 words and Harassment Approaching at 1600 words.

[fluid ridge]

im completly stuck with anthing regarding the pebbs pov in the city arc

i will pause chapters 11 pebbs pov probably and write the second pov first, then try again wiht pebbs

[soft agate]

Maybe try retelling that section out of the overseer's point of view?

[fluid ridge]

the overseer is on its own little trip right now in that section

[soft agate]

A trip directly to Valhalla

[fluid ridge]

have moon, i have no idea what im doing anymore

[soft agate]

[fluid ridge]

that is a big complement coming from you

i tried to call you for help but that didnt work TT

[gleaming snow]

Sorry

[north herald]

-# debt /lh

[onyx furnace]

the people in Europe do thousands with a dot instead of a comma, and vise veria on the decimal placing

[fluid ridge]

damn those Europeans /j
but yeah, thats pretty much that

[gleaming snow]

Blue is dot
Green is comma
Red is Arabic decimal separator

The darker green allows both

[fluid ridge]

interesting

[onyx furnace]

wait is this for the thousands thing, or the decimal

[gleaming snow]

Decimal separator

[onyx furnace]

ah ok

[gleaming snow]

International standard is either comma or dot, but dot is used more in literature

So I prefer dot

[onyx furnace]

the context was thousands but the USA was dot and i was like "that ain't right"

[gleaming snow]

Thousands is 1, 000, 000 right?

[onyx furnace]

yeah, for here anyways

[gleaming snow]

I also think dot is superior for math, for instance with tuples

(3.4, 85.89, 45.8) is a lot more readable than (3,4 , 85,89 , 45,8)

[onyx furnace]

what would make that even worst is putting that into a programming language

[fluid ridge]

amazing news, i am no longer in debt
next chapter just got pushed back another 10 years

[tranquil yoke]

I can't believe this has happened

[fluid ridge]

have fun writing your debt off

[unborn vault]

Let’s gang up on them.

[fluid ridge]

gang up on me and give me all your money in the processs

[fluid ridge]

god, i always forget how good comments feel until you get one again

[unborn vault]

It's been so long since I actually got one...

I miss them.

[fluid ridge]

same here (i wonder why )

[unborn vault]

Don't suddenly give me one, though, it won't feel good.

[fluid ridge]

oh god, they are binge reading

they left more comments

im motivated to write now

[unborn vault]

This is obsession.

[fluid ridge]

3k words in debt, noone is gambeling anymore, cy is asleep, and i still have a lot of time left in the day...
i guess it is time

but first, clean the house

[unborn vault]

No.

Clean the house later.

[fluid ridge]

cant

[unborn vault]

Why can't you?

[fluid ridge]

if it gets dark, i cant see the dirt no more

[unborn vault]

Well, your other option is to get quartered in said dark.

[fluid ridge]

and sun light is still the best light sorce there is

[unborn vault]

I took part in Piotr's blood, thick with writing juice.

Well, to say it was divine is an understatement.

I hunger for more.

After you clean the house, if you don't, you're next.

[fluid ridge]

[unborn vault]

Don't what? Don't write.

I will be here to remind you in an hour.

Maybe.

Best of luck!

[fluid ridge]

i will tell ya when im done

[unborn vault]

And pray.

Pray to whatever deity you want.

Just know. I'm not listening.

To cleaning you go.

i think you got some other piotr tbh

[unborn vault]

There are four of them in this server.

I suppose I shall quarter more until I get you.

[fluid ridge]

im back....

time to do what i should have done weeks ago if we are being fair

I cant

Im just starting at the docs, and i know what i want to write, but the sentences arent forming

this is worse then inv

[unborn vault]

What do you want to write?

[gleaming snow]

I know the pain.
Maybe try to throw some lines at the page without thinking too hard about it? They don't need to be good, they probably won't, but it will get you started at least.

[unborn vault]

I have the method of “slap shit until it ain’t shit”.

[fluid ridge]

we do not win these

i fell asleep

[fluid ridge]

i will try that

It is true that if you never sit down and force yourself to write, you may never actually write

[fluid ridge]

well, i wrote like 3 sentences yesterday

hmmmm... well, if you want any input, I've got time

[fluid ridge]

i will take all the input that i can get

send it my way!

nahhh, all fine

[fluid ridge]

@tranquil yoke IM DONE

collect the fella (gosh i hate him )

the colors are still a bit off but its LATE and i still have work, i need to sleep now

(also i might try to redo the visor, but again, not now, i need to sleep )

(also also, the robe. ehhhhh, still not sure about that pattern, BUT AGAIN, another time )

[tranquil yoke]

you made this piece of shit way cooler looking than he had any right to be

[fluid ridge]

hes getting ready to steel all the money and stuff

[north herald]

Who's this?

[fluid ridge]

No Respectable Farmer (not related to bts hell AT ALL, I just like protecting this thread )

ehhhh

hes terrible

very much hateble

takes all the money that [insert name that I have yet to come up with] works very hard for

tho cy is the main lore guy for him, so i will keep it at that

[fluid ridge]

new cloak plus a few changes, still not sure if im 100 % happy with the cloak, im just not sure how to change it

[north herald]

Looks cool, so is it like, from a fic that's out, or is it a wip?

[fluid ridge]

ehhhh

not sure if that guy will ever be in a fic

would be fun tho

but right now hes just the iterator version of cys stardew character

[north herald]

Oh so he just kinda exists, gotcha

[north herald]

Oh lmao /lh

[fluid ridge]

and he keeps stealign all my stuff

[tranquil yoke]

“NRF: Did I just see you vent your exhaust for the second time this cycle? How embarrassing.
NRF: Clearly your water cycling system could be much more efficient- if you ask very nicely, I could give you a few pointers, but maybe you’re just not cut out for this kind of intensive work?”

He’s terrible, but his neighbor is even worse! A shallow, petty thief who is driven only by money and their spiteful resentment of nearly everyone they know!

[unborn vault]

Why does that sound like me?

Save for the thief and partially the money part, me.

[tranquil yoke]

The dynamic basically goes:
One of the two: "I'm doing something."
The other: "Oh, well, go ahead and do that, I'm over here doing something much more productive."
"Well, won't we see about that!" (The two proceed to spend a huge length of time caught up in a meaningless competition of some kind.)
Or:
"I've done something to help you!" (This thing is blatant sabotage.)
"I can't believe you've done this! You'll regret this."
"My evil machinations lay undetected for years..." (The two proceed to spend a huge length of time trying to discreetly sabotage one another.)

“My evil machinations lay undetected for years, for I am a master of deception.”

@tranquil yoke
and the other, much cooler, much nicer, much richer, much more likeable, much more efficient, much better, Iterator is done

[fluid ridge]

-# well thanks

[fluid ridge]

i know, right

[tranquil yoke]

much richer? The only thing they seem to have a wealth of is personality flaws, from what I can tell.

[fluid ridge]

well at least they arent 25k in debt

[tranquil yoke]

We get just a little

[tranquil yoke]

They look like the kinda person who consistently catches one less fish in a fishing competition

[fluid ridge]

wll at least they dont need to pay money to be good

[tranquil yoke]

NRF: For what reason do we acquire wealth if not to share it? I am nothing if not a font of generosity!

[fluid ridge]

[tranquil yoke]

If we go on about this any longer, one of us is actually going to have to write this fic, you know that?

[fluid ridge]

that will be you

[north herald]

the farming-inspired itty fic

[tranquil yoke]

Maybe. But only if you meet your deadline

[fluid ridge]

damn it, thats some good motivation

but i still have sooo much left

[tranquil yoke]

Well, hmm… it’s so difficult to find that motivation to start another project, but if I were under some kind of obligation, wouldn’t that be different?
(My devious plot to make BTShell manifest another chapter is coming to fruition)

[fluid ridge]

damn it, i guess i should sleep now so i wont be dead after work tomorrow so i can start the grind

[north herald]

another chapter?

there is a deadline for the next BTShell chapter or is it sth else?

[fluid ridge]

damn it cy, you're giving the people hope /j

[north herald]

it does mean more work for me tho /lh
but new BTShell chapter

[tranquil yoke]

I’ve pushed Karessra to have a draft of the next chapter ready by this Sunday…
Of course, it’s purely casual. But now I might pick my next project off of whether they can make that deadline… who knows?

[north herald]

by this sunday?

daaaamn, quite quick if i say so myself

[fluid ridge]

yep, i havent even reached the half way point yet

[north herald]

(/j /lh)

[fluid ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-falling-fast-gif-18043850

[north herald]

a motivating factor is really helpful for getting back on track tho, i had to force myself a bit with a few things but i'm back up to a decent writing pace just don't burn yourselves out or sth

[fluid ridge]

i will try

tho i REALLY need to sleep now, work starts in less then 8 hours and i only just came home from another shift 2 hours ago

GN!!!

[maiden bear]

Cy also told me to have a draft by Sunday

Where’s your draft cy!

[north herald]

what's this pattern that's being observed here /lh

[maiden bear]

Piotr…

I want a draft by Sunday

turns out the buddy system can work real well

[maiden bear]

Buddy system

[north herald]

honestly i'm just standing by to get a few things checked out and then the floodgates shall be reopened

-# until i run out of the backlog again

[maiden bear]

Afsdgdds i can’t let HFISH get more behind

I think this chap might push it over 70k words

(Total)

I guess it already is 70k w wish oneshot

[gleaming snow]

:O

[tranquil yoke]

Sunday just seems like a good deadline day. Maybe I’ll try and have something done by then, just to not seem a hypocrite

[maiden bear]

Practice what you preach, sir

(But only if you want to )

[fluid ridge]

work D:

[fluid ridge]

work over

now writer work

[north herald]

Get that 🍞

[tranquil yoke]

karessra will be writing their chapter today after I beat them at poker

[fluid ridge]

im winning

[tranquil yoke]

with no complaints

[fluid ridge]

and there will be another 3 year delay

[tranquil yoke]

and we will be getting a framework for the next rango fic chapter

[fluid ridge]

[fluid ridge]

damn, thats a nice amount of comments

[north herald]

[fluid ridge]

okay, tiny break over, back to the writing grind i go

[north herald]

Good luck

[fluid ridge]

to be fair, its going pretty well so far

i only changed the script a 7th time agian, but hey

[fluid ridge]

@tranquil yoke collect your status report since i dont think i can write any more.
I wrote around 2, 7k words, Pebbles' pov is like 200 words away from being done, and the second pov still needs to be made.
I did try to push through there at the end but i think after all this im too drained to finish
but hey, probably a single 1h writing session should be enough to finish the chapter

[tranquil yoke]

Great work, seriously. Even if you didn't get to the end of the chapter, it's still impressive how much you locked in today. Take a break, get some rest, and you can come back to it with fresh eyes later!

[fluid ridge]

i didnt reread anything i wrote even a single time

AND grammerly was turned off

editign will be a nightmare

[tranquil yoke]

And... I might have something to share with you featuring a couple of silly Iterator OC's, when you're feeling up for it.

[tranquil yoke]

But it got you writing

[fluid ridge]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[gleaming snow]

Well done!

[fluid ridge]

i am free!!!!!

how did past me do that at least twice a week

[fluid ridge]

New Cy deadline to finish the chapter is till Wednesday, surely that will work

[fluid ridge]

PEBBLES POV DONEEEEEEEE

it onyl needs some more heavy editing

like, really heavy editing but whatever

now for the second pov and then the chapters is finally as done as it can be for the moment

[gleaming snow]

OMG

Aaaa, excited

[fluid ridge]

so bad news

even when i finish it it will probably still take a while till i post it

gotta check that the consistency doenst end up in the gutter again

[maiden bear]

Quality takes time

[fluid ridge]

i just dont wanna have to go back and rewrite everything again

[north herald]

New BtShell soon???

[fluid ridge]

next chapter in 5 years at the latest instead of ten

[north herald]

-# New BtShell soon? stares at docs /j /lh

[fluid ridge]

im definitely not running out of ideas for bump protection

exactly

Peak comedy is drawing people as their avatars

[fluid ridge]

i was actually debating to draw the jojo fighting pose, but im not drawing that

[north herald]

When somebody draws a fella as their avatar, it's all fun and games.
But when I draw somebody according to how they look like irl- /j /silly

[fluid ridge]

-# then im suddenly a doxer /j /silly

[ornate grail]

If someone casually whips out an accurate irl sketch I would shit myself

Tbh I think we all would

[fluid ridge]

i would log off the internet and never come back

[north herald]

"Bitch i know how I look like" /j

[fluid ridge]

[gleaming snow]

"Make it more handsome"

Gotta have some self confidence

[north herald]

"you missed a detail"

[soft agate]

Not a sketch, but does this count? :3

[fluid ridge]

not the self dox

[soft agate]

Good luck finding 10+ years ago me (don’t say anything, Drymm, I have changed >.>)

[gleaming snow]

Is it an actual painting of you? Not sure if that's allowed, did you ask staff about it? See rule 9. in #1282530680206524448 message

It's a cool painting, though

[soft agate]

I drew it and yes it is from me… can’t even be proud of something that started my career over here

[fluid ridge]

oh be proud of it!!! its great

(just rules and stuff )

[gleaming snow]

Yeah, it's good. It's just important to be careful with stuff like that. Also rules and stuff, sorry.

[fluid ridge]

not me talking about rules now

[native crown]

[gleaming snow]

Alright, it isn't against the rules apparently. Sorry about that, my mistake.

[fluid ridge]

better save then sry

[soft agate]

I never had such pronounced cheek bones either way

Especially not 14/15 years old me

[gleaming snow]

Really good painting, though. Impressive.

[gleaming snow]

Wait, how long have you been arting? 10+ years?

[soft agate]

Life long fascination. My first art exhibition I had with the young age of 1 in our local newspaper shop :p

In art class in gymnasium, with exactly that painting, I realized I had the masochistic requirements to properly learn art. It was on and off sketching until I finished school in 2017 when I bought my first graphic drawing screen with my very first salary. Tried myself on animation till Jan 2019 when I finally embraced digital art for real. So 5 years actual learning art + 21 years of slowly nurturing a life long fascination until it bloomed

[fluid ridge]

they have art classes in the gymnasium???

[gleaming snow]

Oh, neat

[soft agate]

Well, ‚Bildende Kunst‘. I took the 4 hours major in it

[fluid ridge]

ohhhhhh

all i got in art classes was art block and a bunch of theroy

[soft agate]

I learned there also how to sculpt

[fluid ridge]

!!!

okay thats cool

we did some wood cutting and that "buchdruck" thing

no wait, not that

"linoldruck" thats it

[soft agate]

My final exam in that major

Sadly doesn’t exist anymore

[fluid ridge]

a shame

[soft agate]

As it didn’t got baked afterwards

I do have a few others at home however. I can share them when I am home. One concrete sculpture and one clay sculpture

Will send them then in misc

[fluid ridge]

pls ping if you do!

[soft agate]

Art class was fun. Grade wise however for everyone but me

I was the only one my teacher graded accurately while others got best grades for simply participating. Means I had the worst final grades of all… despite having done the most

Found it unfair, but hey. At least I can say my good grades were genuine

[fluid ridge]

grading art is a pain

[soft agate]

The portrait for example got an … average… after I put in another half year reworking everything I raised that grade to a good

[fluid ridge]

my art teacher was fine ig

got lucky most of the time with the only exception being the final exam which i almost failed

[soft agate]

Heh

[gleaming snow]

This is why I like stuff like math. You're either correct and have sufficient logic, or you're not

Accurately grading stuff like writing and art is a lot harder.

[soft agate]

Final exam I failed nearly as well. The written part. Write an interpretation about a building from an artist

We had a huge focus on architecture

[fluid ridge]

i would cry, that sounds like a pain

[soft agate]

It was. Just look up Peter Zumtor Thermalbad

[fluid ridge]

blegh

okay, thats terrible

[soft agate]

And my final exam was an in-depth interpretation and analysis of the way he built it

Was one of two possible candidates for that exam. The other one I was able to interpret well, this one…has less of a historical aspect to ramble about

[fluid ridge]

thank god i chose realschule over gymnasium, i just had to learn theroy till it bled out of my ears and interpretate some drawings

[soft agate]

Fair

[maiden bear]

There’s your boy

[fluid ridge]

NAWWWW, its boombox and boombox

[maiden bear]

They’re brothers and whyyyy are you awake

[native crown]

[maiden bear]

Hmm?

Boombox is disappointed in you

[tranquil yoke]

boombox

[fluid ridge]

i was drawing

but i went to bed pretty much after that message, i promiseee

[fluid ridge]

@tranquil yoke @maiden bear it is complete

[north herald]

Oh so THAT'S what that drawing meant

[fluid ridge]

gotta keep boombox and Boombox save

[gleaming snow]

Umm, why is that shovel bloody?

[north herald]

It's ketchup

[fluid ridge]

nah, i got murdered

[north herald]

Oh so that's how it is

[gleaming snow]

Have you found the baby yet?

[north herald]

"Workplace accident" or fully intentional?

[gleaming snow]

He's so precious

[fluid ridge]

there is a baby?

[north herald]

The maneater thing?

[gleaming snow]

The name is a lie, don't trust him

baby would never hurt you

[fluid ridge]

ohhhh, the small thing that turns big if you cary it?

[north herald]

A bit more complicated than that, it does not like you in such a case

[gleaming snow]

Yeah...

[fluid ridge]

well they never killed me

[gleaming snow]

Remember to treat him well

[fluid ridge]

only cy

[north herald]

I have trauma after my team got decimated by it one too many times

Sidenote mineshaft layout it HELL

[gleaming snow]

Remember, carry it back to your ship

Good emotional support

[gleaming snow]

Those caves

[north herald]

Picture yourselves in this situation:

[gleaming snow]

Go in there solo is scary

[north herald]

Sitting on terminal

Team has decent loot but you spot monsters

[fluid ridge]

its hell!!!

[north herald]

Shout an order to EVAC

One dude gets in elevator, other is hunkering down

[fluid ridge]

they ignore it!

[north herald]

Elevator dude presses button

[fluid ridge]

i say right, they go left

[north herald]

Fucking

[fluid ridge]

i say turn around, they keep going

[north herald]

RED DOT WALKS INTO ELEVATOR AS IT CLOSES

[fluid ridge]

LMAOOO

[north herald]

THERE IS NOW A THUMPER IN THE ENTRANCE ROOM THAT JUMPS THE OTHER GUY WHO HAD HIS WALKIE TALKIE OFF

[gleaming snow]

Have you visited umbrion?

[fluid ridge]

dont think so

[north herald]

Oh I took them there for shits and giggles

[gleaming snow]

Take out the apparatus

[north herald]

Have not been to Titan and the 2nd hard moon, as well as artifice

[north herald]

So funny thing

I was on terminal and I send my fellas in there

I was like

[fluid ridge]

we havent even bought those

[north herald]

"If you see the apparatus, snatch it and go back :)"

[north herald]

You need to get a good run going imo, you can have some nice gains in there but your team gotta lock in

[gleaming snow]

Apparatus is worth a lot of money

[north herald]

My team is half-decent

[gleaming snow]

Titan is an experience

[north herald]

I think we have plans to go there next lmao

[gleaming snow]

Worth the money, though

Artifice is the best moon for loot, though

[north herald]

1.5k tho

Gotta sell, like, the whole team's kidneys to get there /j /lh

[fluid ridge]

why buy a new moon when you can have boombox tho

[gleaming snow]

Walking around with a boombox while everyone is dead is such a vibe

[north herald]

Go to new moon to get more boomboxes

Also fun fact, we were to the 1st hard moon, the one with the short walk from ship to facility

Eclipsed but we paid so gotta do it

Not sure if anything spawns so i'm all laid back

Suddenly me and my buddy hear a noise and start to book it to the entrance

I am halfway through the interaction to enter when a dog eats me

The last thing I saw was ALL CLEAR through the signal translator

[fluid ridge]

well im the most useful to the team, trust

example, i open the doors when some creature is outside after we have a lot of scrab, creature enters, we all die

[north herald]

Outstanding, would want you on my team

[gleaming snow]

I collect bee

[fluid ridge]

everyone wants that

[north herald]

Somebody closed the ship doors in my face when 2 of us were outside and one of us got eaten by a giant

[fluid ridge]

especially when i get my hands on a horn

[fluid ridge]

i really want to but im not sure i will be fast enough to run

[north herald]

That's why you get the teleporter in case of a botched attempt

[gleaming snow]

Lure bee toward you, run in a small circle, pick up hive, when stamina runs out, drop hive and keep running. Rinse and repeat

Drop them on the side of the ship, not inside please...

[north herald]

They get teleported inside when you take off or sth?

[gleaming snow]

No, but bees will fall behind. When they do, quickly bring all collected bee hives inside the ship

[north herald]

... huh

Lmao certainly beats bringing it in, closing door, teleporting somebody that got left behind and booking it out of there

[maiden bear]

WELLL I can’t argue against the result…

Karessra what happened to you? who would hurt you?

( do it for them ❤️ ❤️ )

[fluid ridge]

you

[maiden bear]

nah, that doesn’t sound like me

[fluid ridge]

something BTShell related in this thread? yeah, i cant believe it either

[fluid ridge]

we talked about this cy

[tranquil yoke]

I, for one, would be honored to receive a , a , and/or a on anything I posted!

(I really dig the style with this piece, by the way. Was there any particular inspiration for the two-tone style here?)

[fluid ridge]

well yeahhhh, they are still nice, but im still gonna complain every time you specifically use it

[fluid ridge]

looked up refrences, the refrence did that, i did it too

also my initial idea looked really bad so i started completly over

[tranquil yoke]

It’s cool! And kinda reminds me of cultist sim, but that might be just because I’ve been playing it a lot recently.

[fluid ridge]

(addiction)

[tranquil yoke]

Only a spoonful

[gleaming snow]

Looks good!
Best character

[tranquil yoke]

Who’s that guy that’s got the main character coming out of his hand?

[gleaming snow]

A loser

/j

[fluid ridge]

some unimportant side character

[fluid ridge]

that too

[maiden bear]

this is really nice!

cool style

makes me wanna try something similar

[fluid ridge]

it is a pretty style yeah, just a shame that you can see even more how shaky my hand is

[tranquil yoke]

Did you just wake up? Isn’t it like… 3:30 AM for you?

[fluid ridge]

I did

work starts at 6

cant sleep

BUT

insperation stuck

so im trying to write

focus on trying

[tranquil yoke]

I worry for your health with the hours you keep (my hypocrisy knows no bounds), but I can only hope you get some good writing done!

[fluid ridge]

ey
i went to bed around 9pm, thats wayyyyy to early for me so now i just cant sleep anymore

its depressing how quick someone can loose all inspiration and motivation
(i will try to finish that darn pov nonetheless )

[tranquil yoke]

You can do it

[fluid ridge]

i yield

[unborn vault]

Ha!

[fluid ridge]

i still have half an hour to be fair, but i give up

im sure roughly 400 words are enough for now

[unborn vault]

Good enough, actually!

[fluid ridge]

not for me, but i digress

it will be just a problem for future me again it seems

maybe i can finish when i come back from work

i surely can think about how to write the chapter during work

i will make something work

[fluid ridge]

theres like a 20% chance that i will write either tomorrow or the day after. the odds are not great but better then nothing

[north herald]

Good luck

[fluid ridge]

The moment where one small realisation makes you rewrite the entire second half of your chapter again
lets just say that chapter 11 was completed for a moment, now it isnt

[onyx furnace]

[maiden bear]

Whyyyy were you awake at my 9am… did you go to bed?

[ornate grail]

That's just 3am, that's rookie numbers for them /j

[maiden bear]

They were still awake at my 2am

and we allllll said we would go to bed

Hmmmmm

[north herald]

Somebody is getting accused of sleep evasion today /lh /silly

[fluid ridge]

nahhhh, its all fine

i went to bed at 7am like promised

[maiden bear]

And woke up when

[fluid ridge]

11am

good enough if you ask me

[maiden bear]

Four hours

Noooo

[fluid ridge]

Yesssssss

[maiden bear]

Gonna make a pact with cy to not keep you awake tonight

I need a “stay the fuck asleep” image…

[fluid ridge]

b- b- but lethal

[maiden bear]

I slept six hours and I feel like garbage

[fluid ridge]

should have slept more i reckon

[maiden bear]

So so true

[fluid ridge]

this chapter will never be finished

[north herald]

You know what can also be lethal? Lack of sleep /lh /silly

[north herald]

[fluid ridge]

im sure its fine

[gleaming snow]

You could say cy's company was lethal /j /silly /I'll go now

[north herald]

[tranquil yoke]

(I told them to go to bed a full 4 hours before they did, you can’t put this on me)

[maiden bear]

So true

[maiden bear]

I told them before you even showed up, we were about to log off and then you came on

[fluid ridge]

i would have gone to bed like the responsible person that i am

[maiden bear]

Suuuuure

You did not respect the image

[fluid ridge]

i did!!!

i slept, then woke up and came back, thats all

[maiden bear]

You did not respect the image initially

Cy derailed its power

[fluid ridge]

exactly! blame him, not me

[maiden bear]

You both are to blame

[gleaming snow]

You sure are some responsible people /lh /silly

[fluid ridge]

bumping this thread with art instead of just writing...
will this story ever finish

[tranquil yoke]

I like how you did the color a lot. Is it like a colored pencil brush or something to that effect?

[fluid ridge]

i really like colors like that too, tho it is a bit of a pain to draw. i should really download some better brushes, im just to lazy to find out how

[ornate grail]

Best character

[maiden bear]

Wahhh this turned out so cute

[north herald]

Ooo, very nice, has a kind of crayon vibe?

[fluid ridge]

surely this will work...

[ornate grail]

Words to live by

[gleaming snow]

Does writing formulas count?

[fluid ridge]

surely

[gleaming snow]

I'm reading this cool math book

[fluid ridge]

math is just that cool

[maiden bear]

no tigers. 0/10

[ornate grail]

Wym there's one on the left there

[fluid ridge]

time to go beyond the shell (laugh pls ) and start my fourth rewrite of chapter 11

[next temple]

4th...

[fluid ridge]

and the 100th script change

(actually, probably more than that but hey)

[maiden bear]

Cyyyy

Stop them

[fluid ridge]

NOOOO

its a good change, i swear

[maiden bear]

cyyyyy

[fluid ridge]

[maiden bear]

Man’s busy for two days and you do this smh

[fluid ridge]

cy is gone
cant even ask him for his opinion about the changes

[maiden bear]

Two days!!!

[fluid ridge]

thats it, banan, you are now the new cy! /j

[maiden bear]

Okay okay

I can do this

https://banner2.cleanpng.com/20171202/e7d/av2u5ysr2.webp

[fluid ridge]

you only have to proofread 100 different stories and give opinions on all of them while writing a lot yourself in the meantime, of which all is the highest of quality, no issues

[maiden bear]

oh is that all

[fluid ridge]

you may also finish this story if you feel brave

(because i do not )

[fluid ridge]

time to ruin this beautiful number

goodbye pretty word count

[maiden bear]

Only you can finish the story

[fluid ridge]

i know

[maiden bear]

Man if only Cy could write all our stories, writing would be eaaaasy

[fluid ridge]

he has the entire script, im sure he will manage

[north herald]

Writing-as-a-service

[gleaming snow]

That would remove all the fun

[north herald]

Also good luck with the rewrite

[maiden bear]

Where’s that writing commission forum post /j

[fluid ridge]

all i feel right now is pain

[gleaming snow]

Doesn't matter if what you write is crap as long as it is yours

[gleaming snow]

Best of luck

[fluid ridge]

[maiden bear]

I beg to beg to differ

[maiden bear]

Oh god… they’re rich

[gleaming snow]

You'll have to pay a lot more than that. Minimum 20$ per hour

[fluid ridge]

[maiden bear]

[maiden bear]

so true. Legend

[fluid ridge]

very true

[maiden bear]

He has joined the ranks of story chat legends

[fluid ridge]

someday, i shall too

(i hope)

[gleaming snow]

99% of writers quit before they finish their fic /lh
You have written a lot, though, amany
70k words.

[fluid ridge]

70k words all nice and good but i rather read a short but complete story over an unfinished one

[maiden bear]

Kind of accurate honestly, it’s really really hard to complete a story (which is why it’s so commendable!)

We’ll get there though

[fluid ridge]

like why is it so hard? i know what i wanna write, ive had the script for soooo long now

just lemmi finish pleaseeee

[maiden bear]

Because you worry if you’re doing it right

[north herald]

That's not coming anytime soon i think, assuming it's a "when", not an "if"

[fluid ridge]

lmao, dont worry

[fluid ridge]

but i dont wanna worry. i wanna finish

[maiden bear]

Then just do it

stop editing

[fluid ridge]

but i need to edit while i have the chance

two more days

[maiden bear]

You’ll always have the chance

[maiden bear]

No, I think Cy was only busy for the weekend. What day is it, karessra?

[north herald]

I'd need to think about stuff, but I did futureproof it, though I may have some other stuff to be made before than, and I have taken up sth else too so I need to get stuff done

[fluid ridge]

ehhhhhh

going of the rail for a sec

since when does dc ask if your human if you wanna dm someone privat for the first time???

[maiden bear]

Probably a random thing, or maybe your account’s been flagged?

I’ve never seen it

[fluid ridge]

huhhhh????

[maiden bear]

Could be new

[fluid ridge]

what do you mean ive been flagged

[maiden bear]

Well, karessra, are you human?

[fluid ridge]

was it the movie streaming

[fluid ridge]

obviously not

tho dc doenst have to know that

[maiden bear]

Haha no, could be as simple as message volume or rejected friend requests or something (I doubt you’ve actually been flagged, it’s probably new or random)

[fluid ridge]

okay, all clear now

and i distracted myself from writing AGAIN. no wonder ive been stuck on this chapter for so long

next attempt, here i come

[fluid ridge]

anddddddd

nothing new was written

only more editing

[north herald]

[native crown]

and I missed the bidding wars

I'd pay so much to write just one fewer essay

[north herald]

ChatGPT: /j /lh /silly

[native crown]

My professor checks literally every essay with GPT-0

and chatGPT's knowledge is sadly limited and incorrect when it comes to Neoliberalism in Latin America

[gleaming snow]

It's also academic dishonesty which is a really bad and scummy thing to do. You could get expelled as well

[maiden bear]

while true I don't think tree was being serious

[gleaming snow]

Of course. Tree is a good fella

[north herald]

Me no likey essays, that sounds bad

[ornate grail]

Our favorite joke rifle wielder

-# wait, hm, since you have an OC now...

[fluid ridge]

[ornate grail]

It do that sometimes

Weapons

[fluid ridge]

little gift for when they meet no respectable farmer

[tranquil yoke]

Is that SAE blowing themselves up and then getting stabbed by a scav?
(that’s a cool skin!)

[fluid ridge]

i think what you meant to say was, wow, is that sae being a god gamer and only blowing themselves up cause they took pity on the poor scavs that would otherwise had not chance against them

[tranquil yoke]

Surely…

[unborn vault]

Since SAE has gotten their gift, I’m giving NRF his own little present. Not my best work, but battery is dying.

[tranquil yoke]

This is excellent! It's funny that this dingwad has become 'my iterator', though

[unborn vault]

Right arm’s a bit too long.
