For now I have the base to start developing it more
Just need to make a timeline of events
TOO LATE I READ IT ALL MUHAHAHHA
Wait π
There
Also what program u using for this
Yeah!
if i ever need something like this properly (which i prob do tbh lel), imma grab it
Sure! Honestly I find it really easy to use
I have some things that I like, like...
Then again i am also used to my mess of obsidian notes and dun have much art so I rarely need images...
This for example
but also a wiki page for my mcs and things would be really good...
hecknowiwanaloredump
Alas
HJFAWHJ
You can in your own thread if ya want
For me I can't really infodump anything because I got 0 lore almost HJFWAHJ
butnobodyisinmythread...
I mgiht just ramble to peeps in a different server lel
If ya want!
If I find time might read your fanfics
But today it's really late already
ye
plus, finding the time... eheheh... 283k words... ^^;
Big investment if you weren't reading em as I was making em tbh
OH
ye the first one is loooooong
it's not motivation... it's pure brainrot & adhd
my output was insane which make it no wonder that when I lost my meds, I had a year+ long burnout period, only saved by woolhaven. Which is why I'm going all in again cuz I am not risking losing my mojo mid fic...
I'm still with a big burnout honestly
Been trying to draw for fun
But the flame is gone now
yeah, my only advice with burnout is to not try and force it
I tried to force it and... I would get like 1k words done every 2 months and would feel terrible for not doing more uvu
Yeahh, I'm trying to not draw at all these days now
At least I have time to write all the lore!
I'm just getting out of ideas HJFWAJ
I don't have the imagination I used to have
If your eventual fic is gonna be like
fairly 1:1 with the game in terms of story beats, do what I did
play through the game, recording all the things that happen, and use that as a vague plot outline
helped me come up with a few neat lil things
mostly good for generating characters tbh
I want to do that honestly, the beginning of the two AUs are almost exactly as the base game so it could really help (also been getting tired of my main save)
I just don't know how to save all the things that happen on the game
Write it all down
hang on imma post screenie in my thread again
Yes plss
The deets in my thread, will prob also move discussion to that tbh
Oh god, I just wanted to make a summary of the lore before the beginning of the game and I made a whole page and a half of it HJFWHJAW
welcome to writing
the number of times I've done like, half the planned stuff for a chapter and found out I was at 3k words
Yeahh, I can see why HHAHSHD
"oops I accidentally got too into this dialogue... oh well. time to shift everything to the next chapter"
Blessed crackship
I love walking back home after a long day of work and studies and having ideas for my AUs pop up in my head to entertain myself on the way back

oh yeah that's when all the best ideas appear
that and during downtime at work
30 min bus trip, 6 times per week, does wonders
I don't know if I should make a new CotL save file and play for a bit or write some more lore...
Maybe I will do more lore
I kinda want to have it done to start writing a fanfic
is good idea...
I also have to write all this ideas I had before
Politely, not for me TwT
I think I did a good recording for my AU, @wary wagon what do you think?
I just liked it x3c
good to know a thing I came up with in like, 3 minutes works for you too x3
Lets see how fast Sunny Speedruns killing Leshy...
I've also made a page for each follower HJFAWHJF (I'm crazy help)
Knowing me, it will be a first try
Gregre, first follower, pig
vs
Brebrebre, first follower, pig
HJFWAHJ
If it was Gregregre I'd accuse the devs of witchcraft
We also have Fina, the mean girl
HAHAHSHSAH
noice
But also, Alexander's Sect has a load of 'filler' followers who like, don't exist in game but do exist cuz having 5 people sustain a big place is kinda silly
Yeahh, I might make that too in the lore
But I kinda want the real ingame followers to have some kind of role when they are alive
In the fanfic
yeeeee
tis what I did too
until I have too many of them and couldn't make them all fit in x3
HJFHWAJHJ yeahh
When I have time I also should write about all the past crown bearers
When I have time
Good luck finding that now x3
You're in the deep end
And the past crowns owners π
The fic will consume your life...
I know...
There's a difference?
Poggies, lore good...
Crown Bearers -> Ones who wielded the crown for Narinder
Crown Owners -> Ones who owned the crown
Ah
Vessels and Gods, okay
Each crow will have a past crown owner lore for a specific thing I want to do
teehee
That y'all will see if there's ever a first chapter of the AU

ping me if you do it or need a beta reader or something
I will share the agony joys of writing to whomever i can
Just saying thx Woolhaven for helping me with the lore π
Yes plsss
I will need some help honestly HJFAWHJF
I don't want to release a fanfic who nobody understands JHFAWJH
imean that's how I did mine >v>
HFAWH
Throw it out in the world and people eventually bit
Hope people read it when I release it π
Until the first crown everything will go reallyyyy slow
Unless the first chapter, that will be mostly the beggining of everything
Don't get discouraged if you don't get lots of hits or comments
Cuz like
You won't
BUT you will eventually get 1 person whose comments will always make you happy... Some nerd who'll comment on every chapter in come capacity...
Those are the ones that make me SOOO happy
There's a 90% chance said nerd will be me btw
I love when people get interested in my own worlds and all that
JHFAWHJHJ
Will be much appreciated π
π π I like encouraging people in ways I am not being encouraged myself...
I'm sure you will find your fans, when I get the time I will read your fanfics for sure
I have like
~20ish
But none of them comment... Alas
First I'm reading the Rehabilitation of Death, I don't want to be the weird one that hasn't read it JHFHAJW
I can't read it cuz the chapters are too long and my attention wains too much x3
It normal, I usually don't comment much too
Bruh you have time to read TroD but not mine? /silly
I honestly love books that are long, because I have that sensation of saying "I can't stop now, I have to get to the end of the chapter" and when I get there I saw "One more
"
HJFAHJWHJ
I'm still finding time for everything
With work and college is hard to manage all
Yeah!
But it will be a good break from drawing honestly
I was getting really burned out
ye...
I need more time for my hobbies honestly
And that will come in Summer
At the end of April
lots of time to plan and think of lore
Yeah!
I've always been the creative guy
I've always made stories when I was bored in my head
oh god mood
So that developed to higher levels of imagination
Mostly when I was a kid, I had a lot of trips in car and because I was bored I used to make whole stories and anime movies in my head HJFWAHJ
I can have a solid image in my head of what I imagine normally
So it feels like watching some new cool anime always HKFWAHKJ
Me with aphantasia to some degree, can't get that benefit
I can visualise just enough for me to think I could draw it...
For me I can see the image, but not focus on the small details
I know what's there, how it looks and everything
But I can't focus on the little things
As I describe it to my sister
My imagination is in 144p
I can focus on things, but can't see how they link to the big picture, or see the whole thing but not be able to see any detail what so ever...
Most of the time, I less imagine images and more of what is where and kinda
make an image from that?
Like, how a 3d animation program sees the scene vs how the rendered image does
For me it's hard to say
It's like I know what I want to see or how, but I can't really focus on the image
But the context it's very visible
Like if I imagine a fight scene
I can see the effects and all, how the body moves
But I can focus on how the clothes or face looks
Because the other things override all my "imaginary tint"
So
Your imagination has no 'zoom' feature?
If I focus on a face, then I can see it well
Just, whole canvas and only the whole canvas?
It's like reading a manga, when the face is too small, the artist makes what they can to represent it, but it's not detailed at all
Yep
It's like watching a movie on a cinema
I can't get close to the screen
So if the face or the details are small, I can't know how it looks
I just got the whole canvas
Nothing more, I can't zoom
It'll be interesting to see how tha manifests in your writing tbh
same
And it all feels natural
Like for example, if I have to write Ratau playing Knucklebones, I first imagine the scene in my head like a movie, and then try to explain it in text, like if I was transforming a movie into a book
kk
The urge of drawing Narilamb is consuming me now HELP HAWFH 
I actually still need to do that yeah
let the urge out as much as it wants to be let out
adhd(?) moment where the most you wana do a thing, is when you can't do it
Idk, still not diagnosed with it and will take a time until I can talk about it with a psychologist
I don't even know if it's adhd or what anymore qwq
imean I have that issue too sometimes, but i'm not sure if it's adhd or just something else
The thing is that when I get to concentrate on something, I concentrate so hard that I forget about anything else, I even forget to drink
Idk if that's a adhd thing?
Because I still can concentrate in a topic
ohyeah that's a hyper focus moment
Unless I don't like it, then that moment might just stay max. 1h
the happy chemicals are so rare that when your brain finally finds a source, it chugs that for as long as it can
Yeah HAWJFHJ
Usually when I draw I don't take any breaks
Because I'm so focused LMAO
yeah mood
the only reason I don't lose track of time when writing, is cuz I know roughly how long it takes to reach each song I use as background noise
I've been playing Mewgenics and that shit took 4-5h of my day that day
which only works when I unfocus just enough to actually hear it
me with my current game fixation
I can play xcom 2, osrs, cult of the lamb, minecraft, terraria and whatever else for 4-5 hours with minimal breaks just cuz
When I get to the first song again and I realise about it, I know that I've been there for at least an hour HFAWH
Honestly I can't play open world games
my music choices goes on for around 2.5-3 hours so
i basically listen to it all the way through once and consider that a writing session
The amount of things I can do on them makes me don't want to do anything
I need the game to have a somehow linear path
choice paralysis is real
Me, literally now realising that I linerise my gameplay of openworld games when I play them: Ah, same I guess
But if there's no thing as an objective, I get frozen
That's what I usually do if I'm given an open world to play
I have a mission about going to x place? Forget exploring, I'm going straight to it
Unless it's something that catches my attention a LOT, I don't tend to derive from the path to the mission
Or if I need weapons and such
But normally if I have the necesary, I don't explore for more
In BG3 for example, my mentality was to follow all the paths until the map was all discovered
That was the only way to force me to explore
Even with that, it was hard to like exploring all
So yeah, I love my linear games that tell me exactly what to do or follow
π«΅ Naturally Obedient Trait
And specially those that don't overload me with stats and info
HAHAHDSHJ YES
me2tho
Being in charge is stressful and hard :<
Yeah!
At least in CotL is like "Weapon hits, weapon inflicts venom, venom makes enemies lose health by time"
That's easy to understand HFAHJW
I like that it's a simple rogelike game
Not like Binding of Isaac lel
With no much stats and things like that
wikiwalk ass of a game (pos)
I can't play that game fr, so much things happening at the same time with so much stats
Honestly I like CotL more for the cult part
I like feeling inmersed into a fantasy community
And world
And being like "Oh Narinder come and kiss me"
ye
cotl has nice, vague lore
HJFAHJW
"Woah, this world is so vast and mysterious, I wo- Ooo kittykittykitty lemme kissykissykissy"
Honestly CotL was one of the games that most influenced in my liking of things, like, now I want to live in a rustic house HFAHJW
YES
One things that I always wished CotL had honestly would be more interactions with the followers
Let me interact with them and fall in love!
cotl dating sim
Or being like "I hate this follower RAHH"
HFHJAW
But yeah, I think the random dialogues from the followers could be more expanded and that would be so amazing
It would also be amazing to be able to upgrade some important places like the med bay or things like that, I feel that it could give the game a feeling of "Wow yeah, the cult improved a lot since the beggining"
Like new textures and all
Narinder and The Lamb have fell in love.
Hey!
Nice!! ^^
Also devs, PLEASE PUT THE DLC PATHS IN THE PATH SECTION LIKE THE WOOLHAVEN ONES PRETTY PLEASEE
I hate having to go to the DLC section only to find that specific path
And not having all of them in the same place
Because the decoration menu it's becoming a mess to navegate in HJFHJAW
I also need a multiple selection tool honestly 
I had to move crop by crop to rearrange my cult
Me too! 
lemme give u an au idea if u want.
Idk if it's hard to code or smth, but it would be a game changer
If you want, but I got too many AUs already HWFJHA
cult of the worm.
(leshy)
I have that alr yeah ^^
.
I THOUGHT I WAS ONTO SOMETHING AHHDHEVDHDJWNDHRHS
HEHSHFBEHSYR
I TOLD YOU DAYS BEFORE HJFHJWA
It might be depending on how they impliment it, esp with building placement checks
although, a single structure that acts as a 3x3 farming plot wouldn't be too difficulty to implement, I imagine
Maybe your brain said "Yep, that was totally my idea from my head" HFWWAHJ
NUH UH I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
I DIDN'T??
i just came up with it at 2am tbh
I think I showed some images
i don't remember that
imean, I've seen something like that a year odd ago
part of the swap au trend that happened
oh my god i never looked at that lmao
Honestly there's so much swap AUs for someone to make something original HJAFWHJ
But the thing about them is that it's almost imposible to have the same characters swaped
And also the designs usually look diferent from person to person HJFAWHJ
Dw ^^
ye
I also been focusing more recently on reviving the Ascendant Crown AU
Which is going great!

I already have all the plot until the game events
At least the base of it
In the end I ended up grabbing all the details I liked from all the versions I did and combined them into one
I think it looks better now because of it!
It's mostly focused on the first idea though
It was pretty good but lacked of lore and important information
Also this version of the lamb is really shy and is almost always scared, so there will be character development of them
I liked the old version being calmed and all, but I think I prefer more a chaotic shy lamb
That makes a lot of mistakes and that causes chaos sometimes
And it also would give a lot of character development to do honestly
ye
And also would give a lot of room to the idea of "becoming a monster" that I have
I just say that there will be a lot of drama, I always loved having drama in my stories
And probably a lot of ending of chapters in moments that you don't want them to end HJFAHWJ
So people stay for the next one

devious
Hehe yes
I need to keep the reader continuing reading it!
Oh also
There will not be much romance until much much later
So no Narilamb for a while
valid
Mostly because I want to go step by step through the events of the game
And not make a TROD and have it all in the same chapter
Because if I did that, there would be no story HFWAHJ
So the ending I have in mind will take time for y'all to see
long fic incoming /pos
Ohh it will >:3
I plan to make it a long time project
And the main focus of my cotl content
I have plenty of time to do so
Also there will be a bit of crossover with my other AUs!
Can't say how yet
But I can say it's related to the goat
well i at least made my own design in class xd
My brain is not braining tonight. Might have to postpone the lore writing for some days 
I'm kinda seeing a pattern that tells me that I can't be productive at night
I have an idea to draw today π
I just don't think I will be able to post it in here
I think I can show it here since there's no blood or any type of stuff like that.
So I was thinking about how my CotL snake sona venom would work and I came up with this small sketch idea!
Oooh, that's cool :0
It's another way of dying by venom that I liked, and it kinda fits the character too! HJDAHJWH
Oh
Soul draining Venom
Absolutely Terrifying Concept/10
I gotta start learning drawing backgrounds NOW, I'm so bored of drawing characters on plain backgrounds HJAFWHJ
Just don't know where to start honestly
Practiced a bit and it came out great!

But I can't show it since I basically tried to replicate one of Rekin's backgrounds they did so I could learn from it
So unless they give me permission for it, no background art for y'all yet
Ah
Understandable
But.... I do have a character drawing I did
That I will show when I get home
Or maybe y'all see it on my Tumblr when it automatically post themselves
I've been productive today in terms of art
And I like it

Now I need to be productive in therms of writting lore HFWAHJ
But I don't think I will be able to do so today
I've done
not enough today and my brain being mean because of it
ignore that it's only 1pm and i still have 9 hours of the day left...
Honestly that happens to me as well ALWAYS
If I don't do something productive, my brain bullies me
Gifted Child moment
ohrip
true tho
That's why if I don't feel like doing something, I don't do it!
I also seen that I usually enjoy more drawing on the morning
Normally when it's late my brain is not prepared for the mental work that's drawing
Or writting
Or anything that requires effort HJFAHJW
But I don't worry about it because it means I need some rest at that point
And I can use that time to be with my friends! Or just watch some videos or play some videogames
Today it will be a very chill day, I will probably relax and have a bit of fun playing some videogames or smth like that >:3
my pc fried.
I been thinking today that I might focus my content more on Sariel and Yngya (mainly Sariel), I grew tired of following the popular characters/ships and Sariel has been on my head since I saw his design on a teaser for the DLC
Understandable
Become that one Sariel/Yngya artist /pos
Oh that's my plan >:3

NOT IF I DO IT FIRST
Ram you're already that Flinky/Ratau artist... don't be greedy /silly
Greed is my middle name
I kinda want to make a meme animation with Sariel, it's been a while since I did one
Do it
Lil sneak pic π
YAYYY
It's so hard to draw everything on parts LMAO
But also really easy at the same time
one day
Imma throw money at you...
Haha I stole his hat
HJFHJAW

When I finish school if ya want
glorious
Now I'm super dupper busy
valid
I also need to see how paypal works LMAO
MY WIFE
Polyamory wins again
I do not understand you guys, he seems more like a father to me TwT
I can already feel the motivation RAHHH
Ok, I edited the "easy" part of the animation.... IT WAS SO HARD HELP HJFAHJWHJ
welcome to animation x3
I don't know if I like it, might redo it tomorrow if I don't like it
I'm taking notes of all the ideas I had through the time about the Ascendant Crown AU and picking the ones I liked the most, I'm surprised how many good ideas I had discarded
If 5% of your ideas are bangers, and you have 500 ideas
That means you have 25 banger ideas
Let's goooo
Got an idea for a CotL OC π
π
Tell
I don't have much yet, but I want to make a crazy jester OC
A court jester that went over the edge with all the horrifying info they had to give in a funny way...
i look forward
And it can also help develop something I had in mind
HE'S GOING TO BE MINE
ahem, sorry, I meant, That sounds really really cool :D
HAHAHSHSHAHS
I made two designs for them and none of them got that CotL feeling HJFAWHJ
They feel too much modern
And I'm struggling to get more an ancient type of clothing
That it feels like something that someone would wear in that world
You'd be surprised how much of a Tiffany problem clothing can be
I don't think I can draw today, I feel like I forgot how to draw
I hate art block so much 
I don't feel creative at all
Will try to rest today, maybe that's what I need
Maybe I even try to let my art hobbie rest for a while
I kinda want to start a new hobbie, maybe write some fanfics
Burnout can be more than just "drawing"
sometimes you can get burnt out on the act of creativity itself
Yeah maybe
Theoatmeal has a comic about creativity, but theoatmeal also has lots of toilet humor >v>
not to say they're wrong, just that they have that kinda humor
Maybe I should just rest my head for some days
i'll link it in dms or something if ya want
I been feeling stress 24/7 for a month now
Sure! ^^
dms from frens only π
prob buried in settings somewhere
Privacy settings!
I still don't find it 
I watched a bit of the A ReGect series today and I wanted to draw this silly guy when the motivation hit me :3
I know it's not CotL art, but wanted to share anyways
YAY!
I really got my motivation shouting to me to draw him while I was watching the series, my brain was screaming for it LMAO
brain be like that sometimes
It doesn't have to be COTL!
I see it! Thx! ^^
AaaAAAW
He's so cute and grumpy, I love him so much HFAWH
No problem!!
God I'm getting obsessed with my new hyperfixation
Have fun
This is me rn
yup
After my break I will be able to make more PEAK
And have two fandoms to get addicted to
More art of A ReGect in case y'all are interested <33
What an amazing break I'm having :3
Still no art to show, but that's the best part honestly
That means I'm having fun with other things
Fun is good
Enjoy fun break
I will!!
Been also drawing on a sketchbook
But I will probably try to learn some new things
Like rendering and stuff

sorry i forgot to check in red
Dw, you don't need to be sorry!
