good idea i think
So, technically I have finished the NaoxMako story
But as I went back to reread, I noticed a few inconsistencies or loose details, so I'm currently going back revisting the previous parts so they line up better with the ending 
that's my revisisted version of part 1
sure
whenever a new character is talking you should start a new paragraph
otherwise the dialogue gets mixed up
I see, I'll keep it in mind for my next project as it's gonna take a lot of editing for this one
fair
It's all slowly coming together

Another day, another part

you're knockin em out like crazy holy shit
Mainly because I'm just reworking the original versions, but I'm finally writing the big finale 
Next part is the final one, really enjoyed making this one

Still waiting in the queue 
im cheering you on
Made the ao3 account 
oh, i just looked at the format, good lord what am i looking at
i regret using italics so much now
If you use basic editor rather than html it should convert?
yay
but there's indeed no font color
rip era's diary
btw, on the characters listing, should i include every character in the story or just the 2 the story goes around?
whoever is prominent
basically anyone important
for me if they down show up "on screen" i dont tag them
or if they are only in one scene in one chapter and their role doesnt move the plot along
imagine yourself as someone looking for say, luna fics, and you search the luna tag and she is tagged in a fic where she says a single joke in chapter 25 or something, you would question shes even tagged
naruhodo.

so i guess is just nao and the onis
kazan has a more prominent role in one of the other chapters
but rasmus just has that one appearance, then he's just mentioned at best
i'd tag kazan then
(sorry i didnt read more than the first chapter yet)
also remember that character/character is romantic while character & character is platonic

if you look at me fic i think its a good example for tags
either of my fics tbh

how do you add other chapters?
BUT ALSO HYPE
gonna read this later
you should put other tags tho
like if you see on my fic it says additional tags, those are used for telling the reader what the fic involves
if you don't know exactly what tags to add, the tag editor has an autocomplete feature that can help, and you can always look at other fics tags for examples
i see, the i really like demon drive's story seems fitting
done uploading all 5 chapters 
I really dunno what to add, i put demon drive and clarion corp
basically like what the tone of your story is and stuff
like how collecting rainwater has like hurt/comfort or angst as a tag
and my dd one has sibling rivalry and stuff
basically so people will know what to expect
i see
Hello chat this is my first message here I think and I have a Luna and Atlas Fic to share
(It says part 2 because part 1 is a prequel comic that hasn’t been finished yet) (and also it’s based on this hc I have where the stars on Atlas’s arms are part of his skin and Luna has them too)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PSNM8f2vDe4yede4Lkv64Acigkjjkl2LDbAjEboEFQo/edit?usp=sharing
YAAAAAAAAAAA
👀
Asher's backstory is really interesting so see this as a prequel lol
ASHER NOOOOO
this is really nice though
what's it about? just everyone's backstories?
asher mentioned, time to read
I don't think I'll do everyone
Just whoever I feel like covering
Lol
But yeah I headcanon that Asher lost her eye in a fight with the mobsters that ratted her out
She has both eyes right now
oooh, this was really fun to read, cant wait to read more
i have yet to headcanon how asher lost her eye
we're ignoring the fact that its canon that her eye works just fine and that she wears the eyepatch for the look
there's this one art piece that someone made, its really good, so i've just kinda taken that one
for now at least
I made a revision for my Estelle backstory, mainly because I already made a continuation to it

@kind scaffold I added a new chapter btw
👀
It's about Luna and Atlas this time lol
uh oh luna
Luna content yippee
Yup lol
How did you guys like it @pseudo epoch @tall haven
I wanted to detail Luna and Atlas' relationship and how awkward things are between them
I liked it, I think you wrote them both really well
Thanks!

It was really good, the transition between characters was extremely smooth
Awesome--I was hoping it was
you wrote it very well, just a little something to remember is that atlas is a forced parent, he loves luna but he doesn't quite know what he's doing
Yeah that's true
Being an older sibling parent sucks ass but he's trying his best
Luna meanwhile is having a hard time since she's so young and her brother doesn't think like she does
And she doesn't exactly have friends
As you can see, three girls at school just...love her lol

also, similarly, she sees atlas as a bossy older brother, not a parent, which i thought you encapsulated well
Yeah it's a POV problem
I appreciate it!
I'm hoping the devs can give us a story mode in their next game
FR
If not, then I can at least fill in my own blanks

Hope it's good lol
This one shows Asher working at her day job since she runs the gambling hall at night on certain days

What did you think of it @young vessel
W

Thanks lol
Not much is happening yet but it's a slow buildup
The cops are sniffing her out lol
Yeah




so good
also amazing portrayal of asher
ryojin is just like me fr
Thanks lol
He's just curious as to why a human woman is so buff
Asher is happy he noticed and doesn't mind being gawked at. She's proud of her figure
So long as you look respectfully, you're good lol
@fresh talon I added Luna getting the subway to school to my hc list and credited you, hope you don’t mind
@tall haven Oh no problem! Go ahead lol. I wanted to lean into the cyberpunk-ish nature of the setting and have her get to school that way since she can't drive lmao
I like the idea
Feel free to DM me this list. I'm curious to see what else you came up with
Sure thing!:D
But yeah, she's trying to be independent lol
cuz luna,
for chapter/writing
Thanks lol
Made a continuation of sorts to my Estelle story

@kind scaffold You might wanna check out my newest chapter lol
i have to read chapter 2 stilllll
I love reading about my favourite character getting bullied
(jk it was really well done and I’m excited to see more
)
Thanks lol
Yeah sorry, but I wanted to depict a realistic issue
I think you did a great job with it
She's smart as hell so naturally other kids are going to be jealous
And they'll find any weakness they can exploit to make her feel bad. In this case her missing parents
To be fair I hc that she gets bullied too but it’s usually when SSR wins against popular teams
True
She’d probably get bullied regardless because she’s smart and has a bit of an ego about it
Yeah her quotes in game show that she's a bit full of herself
"Makes sense. Choosing the smartest one in the room."
So the bullying is a reaction to some of that
I like to think that her ego is all for show in Corestrike like a persona and then she’s actually pretty timid outside it
But that’s just a personal hc
Let's just say you're probably going to want these three to die lol
I kinda already do lmao, now I’m really interested
Full disclosure I don't advocate for killing children lol
But bullies are the exception!
Yes 
You'll be satisfied by the end of it though
Luna will...defend herself let's say lol
Yippee
Maybe i can add a bit more into the Luna in the Donlas AU 
Hopefully you like it lol
The being in her brother's shadow is gonna not be as relevant here where Atlas is dead, but... I'll be taking some notes 
I'll repost it WARNING: THERE IN FACT IS GORE
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UfTemCEO-KZrvB1TcRWDhM5YySgSxW7XAV4gvJFCDuM/edit?usp=drivesdk

Just wait till i finish the sequel (Asher meets her untimely fate)
dont you dare

Bro i already got like... 3 or 4 pages i cant remember before even getting to the fight/gore
So uhh

Tbh maybe i just don't feel like it's that bad because it doesn't feel like I wrote very much as I'm describing a single scene or smth idk 
Are we sharing our Luna angst? 
luna trauma? i suppose so
I gotta explain some things before I share mine
So this is based on my hc that Atlas’ constellation arms are actually his skin and he’s been saying it’s a body suit as a cover up
Luna has the stars as well and that’s why we never see her without her gloves
Also part 1 is a flashback comic showing how they got those stars and it hasn’t been finished yet but all you need to know basically is that Luna looks like this

https://archiveofourown.org/works/839223/chapters/21306644#workskin found a really useful tagging guide for ao3

Holy, a tagging guide
LUNA POOR BABY SHE NEED TO SEND JUNO IN ATTACK MODE
@gaunt nova unfortunately Juno ain't here yet lol
But yeah bullying sucks doesn't it
dang thats worse
Yup
And now Atlas thinks his sister hates her due to that fake text from Hito
Don't worry she's gonna get them back
Something like that lol
I just read all of this and it was such good writing I might ship these two as well

LETS GO LUNA

I take it you're happy lol
Also chapter 8 is done now
But what are your thoughts?
Luna’s plan caught me off guard but I enjoyed the chaos
I’m excited to see what happens next 
Thanks-
If you read chapter 8, let me know what you think
@fresh talon some fanart 
Yeah Lmaoo it’s pretty wild even with context
Ayo wtf
You drew fanart of my fanfic?
Yeah! I really like it
No problem 
aint nothin hits as amazing as rox fanart of a thing you made
Yeah I wasn't expecting that lol
Luna basically has power armor that she used to get back at her bullies
After they messed with her friends, she wasn't having it
Hopefully you read it @kind scaffold
@tall haven You captured her state of being calmly pissed off perfectly lol
i still havent read chapter 2
Thank you so much
I might draw other frames in the future, most likely from the Luna storyline 
I’m glad I could ^^ I really like doing expressions and I’m pretty good at them
the best part is getting to see the reactions from the person I’m making fanart for
Take your time lol
will this be on ao3
Yeah it will
You sound excited lol
i wanna read this without needing to open google drive every time
also give kudos and comments etc

AYOOOOOO COLLECTING RAINWATER???????
WOWOWOWOWOWOW IN IN A COLLECTING RAINWATER????
Imma read this tonight!
yusss
Collecting rainwater... New chapter
Currently waiting for chapter 18 
Oh?
How do you like the way I've written Vyce?
As a Vyce main and enjoyer, I found her characterization quite well written! I can see Vyce definitely using a skateboard
Also unrelated but "My blade knows no gender" has to be one of the best things ever said in an os fanfiction
Well one of Vyce's official interests is skateboarding lol
I didn't come up with it, but I used it. It's listed in game
But yeah, things are awkward between her and Octavia
Whoops
I don't pay attention to likes and dislikes
I wanted to showcase a parallel. Octavia is rich and successful but lonely while Vyce is a poor bum with loads of friends
Did you like that?
Yep! It's an interesting parallel
Octavia would most likely be more demure and quiet
While Vyce is a lot more talkative
It's interesting to see their differences
Thanks!
And how do you like Komachi?
I wanted to give Zentaro a rival so I made a ninja girl inspired by Naruto
As you saw, he refuses to hold back because the blade doesn't discriminate based on gender lol
@severe stump
Ugh, meant to read this when you first released it - anyways - amazing job as always, Pants!
This chapter made me feel all warm and fuzzy lol
Always love how you write the Ember Monarchs too, you really have their characters nailed down.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUU

Chapter 18 up
Vyce confronts her stalkers
All imma say is 100% deserved to the stalkers. good job vyce 
It's gonna be even better when they end up in jail 😈
Honestly
The sad part is that this has happened before. Idol fans IRL do crazy shit
Yeah but she dealt with them
Just gotta get her parents off her back
Victim blaming
Yeah I gotta read the other chapters tho, I got to ten so shouldn't be too far away
Gotcha. Hope you enjoy!

I have read all chapters and I am very happy 
Really? What's your favorite part thus far?
Probably Luna and zen's story, I would love to see the aftermath of her dealing with the bullies along with where the rivalry of komachi and him will go
Thanks! You're definitely gonna see more of them soon. I'm rotating around the cast over time
Komachi is more akin to a friendly rivalry. They're going to have an arc together soon
Thanks!
Things are gonna get awkward since Vyce needs to recover from her stalker situation lol
Now how should they be punished...
I think dubu knows lmao

Kazan vs Zen that's gonna be interesting
Maybe lol
Have to hope he finds Kazan
You excited?
yep
More Luna content lets gooooo 
@tall haven
How did you like it lol
Loved it, you write her very well in my opinion 
Thanks. Those bullies won't be messing with her again
As far as we know lol
I think Luna showed them pretty well what happens when they mess with her lmao
Good point
But now we shift gears to more Zentaro 😛

Hey I made an OS fanfic but I’m not sure how you guys would feel about a more violent story
Is it okay to post it here or should I just not
as long as you tag it with like violence or gore or stuff it should be fine
Got it
Includes violence, gore, fallacious language and 1 character with explicitly sexual themes, don’t worry it’s not an OS character
https://www.wattpad.com/story/363776184?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details&wp_uname=ItsHapqy
:o wattpad stuff
Yeah, it’s what my friend mostly uses and this only exists because I lost a bet to him
So I figured I’d make it easy for him
Been thinking if I wanted to post this, but I guess it is OS related. 
I made this one purely to practice a different writing format without much thought on the story itself, just something quick I came up with.

AAA HELOO HAJIMEMASHITE RETURN???

WHAT
WHAT
WHAT
NEW CHAPTERSJm m]]]

Im writing again. That said, Mage Mishap will likely go unfinished and I'm sorry–I wrote that without a solid idea of an ending, dooming it to be a half fic from the start 😔
Inhales this whole btw

That said, those who care, you can look forward to my content, tho im gonna start off very unhinged and slowly work my way down
It's unfortunate, but I'm looking forward to your next work!
more kaya writing im very hypee
I'll post my second fic (post-coming back to writing) here once i finish it, if i can
awww thanks 
you should
tho i couldn't link it here unfortunately
why not
i basically only write stories with angsty messy disaster characters and stuff that falls outside the rules here 
write from what you know and all that
but ive been getting the itch to write again lately and i don't think i should let that motivation slide past me lol
fair enough
but im gonna lurk in here and hopefully catch inspiration from people too
y'know in hindsight i should probably have just not said anything if i didn't think i could post it

But like I have to finish actually planning the whole thing out lol
I have a basic idea of how I want it to go, but I like to plan out bullet points

you are so fast and consistent i respect it a lot
i have sadly not been in much of a reading mood lately but i will defo read this when i get the chance
Gotcha. Thanks

All I want for my birthday is to have good feedback on my work lol
thats true
i find it helps to build up relationships with people in the communities surrounding the thing you like and write for cuz then people are more willing to look at your stuff if that makes sense
and build a connection to the things you make
cuz like in my experience people are much more willing to engage with things made by people they know and talk to vs someone who likes drops a masterpiece every now and then but never interacts if that makes sense
that is fair and honestly i wouldnt recommend trying to talk to general or os chat but there is #1077434433554088056 chat which is the comfiest and most supportive place in this server and your fic definitely seems very headcanon heavy from what i know i bet people would love to talk about that kinda stuff with you there
Yeah that's a good idea
I also intend to mostly stick to the writing corner here
I don't play the game much anymore, but I'd love to write for it
Sweet lol

writing is harder than i thought 
i can write BANGER essays but creative fiction is proving difficult
and the tactics i use to write essays don’t really translate over to fanfiction as much as i thought they would
well for my comic scripts i don’t have to make things flow super well when i write it LOL i smooth it all out with the drawings instead
for essays a lot of it just comes really naturally for me so i didn’t ever do any formal first/second drafts :p i just write the whole thing and read thru it once or twice to make sure everything flows together and transitions nicely
and prior to writing i can plan out like “ok these are my key points i want to hit on so here’s how i can transition A into B and B into C” so on and so forth
and then i can just. write it
so like. now i’m writing this fanfiction and i’m suddenly struggling to make things smooth 
grahhhh

key points is kinda how I write too
for me it helps to outline everything I'm gonna write from beginning to end first
and then slowly start adding to it in more in more detail each draft
like
"so then era walks in and x is cooking" for the outline
and then draft one is like
"era steps into the kitchen and the smell of fried rice hits her nose. she turns her head to see x at the stove."
and then usually I keep my first draft in lower case so that I definitely go over it when I do second/final draft and it usually doesn't change much beyond that for most of the writing
ohhhhh :0 that’s smart, using all lowercase
cuz yea you go thru it and it’s like “oh i didn’t go over this part yet”
I just randomly started doing it one day and found it helped me so much to distinguish which parts were edited and which weren't
ok so i think with my NYE comic i technically DID do a first draft/final draft but it was like.. the script was the first draft and the comic was the final. cuz reading back on it i’m realizing i actually changed a lot from the initial dialogue 
oh yeah just wanted to pop in and say ur vyce mako comic was amazing
Personally when it comes to writing i absolutely dread building scenes and describing characters 
esp. these panels
this is part of my next comic script, very messy and loose and i add notes in for myself so i guess this is like the “outline”?
OH THANK YOU!!! 
i’m glad you liked it :3
FR DESCRIBING PEOPLE WITHOUT BEING REDUNDANT IS SO HARD FOR ME
that's pretty nifty yeah
this seems like how I draft stuff too tbh
I struggle a lot with writing vivid descriptions and am jealous of people who can do it so well. stuff like the game dredge or baldurs gate 3 narration I'm always like feral for being able to do
The struggle is real
i should attempt to finish my Era angst today 
wait wtf 
better finish it up
do you guys set a specific lenght per chapter?
i try to keep it within a ballpark depending on the fic
like i will write the first chapter and t hen use that as a benchmark for how long the rest of the chapters will be
so like if my first chapter is 2000 words then i'll want all the other chapters to be minimum 1k, max maybe 4k

but i also never want to purposefully cut my chapters down if i think there needs to be things there
like if i make a 6k chapter for my 2k fic i'm usually not gonna be like "oh i should cut this down a bit" cuz generally speaking everything in there is pretty necessary. but if a chapter does get too long it's good to try to find a point near the middle to cut it in half and just put the second half as the next chapter
because readers will likely expect each chapter to be a similar length, and having that expectation be thrown around with wild word counts will harm retention
it is always better to keep things shorter if you can
paragraphs especially
most people aren't gonna have a good time reading big blocks of text
I'm still trying to find a style for paragraphs
wdym
https://i.imgur.com/kMs7Vuy.png like this vs this? https://i.imgur.com/hJHmzLb.png
indent vs like spaced out lines
i believe ao3 has a custom style you can use for indented fics but i have no idea how to do that otherwise i'd use it
i write indented though i just think it looks nicer
i guess more so knowing when to break into a different one
ah so a useful method i learned is to think of it like a camera in a movie
each time the camera cuts is when you start a new line
so like, when another characer starts talking, or the scene changes, or time moves forward
whenever the focus is shifted
so like in that first pic example you can imagine the camera is focusing on era while she is talking. she mentions texts, which causes x and kai to take out their phones. that's where the camera cuts to show them doing that
then camera cuts again to kai because he started talking
in that second pic i break the paragraph up between the first and second one just cuz the first paragraph was getting a bit long more than anything
paragraphs should be at minimum, three sentences long. unless you have something really impactful you want to keep to a single line, that's where rule breaks come in play
as seen again in the third line on the second image
it's only two sentences but it is emphasized
mostly because it's the end of a scene and there is a horizontal line after that
which the horizontal line i use for major scene changes and time jumps
the horizontal line after that paragraph is because it cuts to the next morning and is a general tone shift as well

How I look after I read fanfic the entire night until the brink of dawn

wuba actually also made an art of this scene
for better results make sure to turn up brightness to max and put the screen 0,1mm in front of your eyes
yes
Love how collecting rainwater is getting fanart and its both era going insane
there is some others
rox made this of the first therapy session
JJFJDJJD
nameless made the cuddle puddle
fancy era from the epilogeu also made by nameless. this one made by someone which isnt directly collecting rainwater but you made it in response to it so i counted it
also yes rox made the critters
and this by rox which isnt from the fic itself but it absolutely would be a thing featuring era support group
I FORGOT ABT THAT ONE FJEBJD

i think i'll settle with this for the first chapter 
still trying to come up with tags 
tags can be hard but you usally dont need too much
just enough to tell people the vibes of the fic
like if it 's slice of life or drama or angst etc
or my favorite, angst and fluff
or hurt/comfort
similar things
i really need to overclock my brain for this
dont think too hard on it
proceeds to think in extreme difficulty

that's fine
i usually have less than that not counting like characters and jokey tags

GET HER BACK NEXT TO KAI, WAAAAAAA

idk if you read it but if you know you know
I mean
I read the first like 7 parts
Ik she madge
But like
I feel very sadge for era
She looks so sad in the cornwr

Yeah I made the Omega Critters™️
YAY
It was so fun to see random pfps change throughout the server
this thread must be revived
finally restarting on my effort to finish my complete byte breakers history fanfic, just a fully fleshed out zen/aimi/finii story that I hope has a satisfying conclusion
its been like 5 months tho so its gonna be so awkward without my flow lmao
Just keep going at it when you feel so you got this

i believe in youuuu
just go at it and dont worry about flow that's what second drafts and editing are for
second drafts? 
I don't even make the first one 
thats also important i highly recommend it
🤝

we do a little bit of just winging it
I always find a habit of going back and revising as I write
maybe it’s writers block or just my perfectionist brain speaking
also tyy all for the support! 
i find it is best to not edit as you write

No problem lol
So question, do you guys have any way to go about spotting weaknesses in your writing?
As much as I say I want to improve on my writing, I'm also not too sure what is it that I'm kinda lingering on or how to approach that
i guess it depends on artist eye vs skill thing
for me i know i dont like how i write descriptions
and i think i'm lacking in it
but i think the best way to spot that is like, read things
and like, lowkey compare yourself? thats a terrible idea idk
oh
i think a great way to detect weaknesses is to read your writing out loud to yourself
or to put it through text to speech
read things that are similar to what you are writing
hmm never thought of the hearing approach
recently i've just been randomly swapping things around just trying to guess if it ends up better as i don't know what i'm going after really
This is big. So much this.
Reading it out loud does wonders for your brain’s ability to comprehend if it makes sense outside of your head.
It separates what you know you’re trying to write vs what you actually wrote.

i used to use paraphrasing tool in the past but i dont really use it now
hemingway editor is great it tells you issues with readability in your writing
And obviously big important thing with writing is making sure what your character is saying sounds like something an actual human would say out loud in a conversation.
or Oni, or AI cat, or space lizard, etc.
but no blobbo? dem
yeah definitely the most important thing with fanfic is making the characters act like the actual characters
not the characterization 

if you wanted to write characters doing what you want them to do then you'd be making original works
people read fanfic because they want to see characters they love doing stuff, if those characters aren't accurate then the readers are not reading fanfic, they are reading an original work with the wrong labels slapped on, and that makes people not want to read it
if you're ever unsure you can always ask for beta readers, do more research on the characters, etc
That's a big sign to tap
the sign more or less reads "dont make readers go 'they would not fucking say that'"

Huh, I think I’ve failed in that regard 
it dont hurt to cross reference or ask for beta readers
omega strikers wiki has everyone's voicelines you can read and listen to
and backstories and trivia
and the comics for the ones that have em
True, I’m currently writing Zentaro’s backstory right now… and I wanted to emphasize a massive change between him before leaving home to him after leaving home, so I made him sound like an innocent, sort of proper kid with a lot of spunk who doesn’t have much edge
AiMi and Finii should be easier to write, though I might go around asking for beta readers
Estelle called, she has nothing to say, she has no backstory
who was her previous team? what did she do during her hiatus? why does she even like corestrike? how did she got into it? why is she rich?
Best backstory: Rune tbh
Rasmus & someone maybe idk. Modeling. Uhhhh, cuz it’s fun. She practiced maybe? She got good so she got bank.
idk, its weird how little we know about a member of the "main team"
Anna the last one
Yeah
Ig she supposed to be kinda mysterious
Idk
I personally dislike her as a character tho
but Dubu also is mysteriuous, and evne then has more story associated to him
Cuz he’s the best

i always felt the luna/atlas story was the best but everyone has opinions
i'm on the demon drive train, but most characters have something going on for them (except Estelle)
#1 story thing im deadset on and will never change my opinion of is that Demon Drive backstory/personality/lore is infinitely overrated
Obv their backstory is not bad, but its just wayyyyy too overrated
Also, as a Clarion fan, am salty cuz how rigged that one event was
Just with how high popularity got them
onis 2 stronk
I have an opposite effect with Nao's lore, I don't want to know much about her backstory, but rather how her story would eventually unfold
So DD following was just massively boosted
Thats why i love Clarion so much
Its mysterious backgrounds that have a developing story
Pretty much every other story is concluded
I said pretty much 
Why you think Rune’s is my fav
Its a good, explanatory background, it’s mysterious, and it has good lore/plot setup
I can only think of Juliette's story being concluded with her getting to the pro league championship
By concluded i mean like cant really do much else story-wise
Juliettes is concluded
Kai is mostly done
Dubu is not concluded
All Estelles can do is beat Kai
Atlas and Luna isnt concluded
Juno is mysterious but hard to develop
Drekar is concluded
Juno wants ice cream
How is Drek'ar's concluded?
Era is pretty much concluded, but still a lot to do
Hes content staying on earth playing corestrike and learning the worlds ways. He doesnt have much story-wise left, but theres def stuff fanfic writers can do
Aimi is concluded
👏
But what about him wanting to be accepted by humans?
Asher is barely a story
I mean, not much of a story can be told with that tho
Obv there can be
Ok i messed up
Concluded was a bad word to use
gambing addiction 
What i meant was there isnt much to do with their stories
Thats over tho
All she doing now is playing corestrike for money
Zentaro has a lil bit left
i forget is there a reason shes playing-
All of clarion corp is still juicy plot
like a valid reason
Asher plays for the mone
She needs to pay off debt cuz her gambling ring got busted by police
DD has story left but its so rigidly defined by their backstories its hard to do other stuff with it
Finii is pretty much done
So yeah
When did Finii's parents finally recognize her?
Only ones with really cool stuff to do is maybe Dubu, Atlas/Luna, Rune, and Clarion Corp ppl
They didnt but as i said, its less conclusion and more story potential
then its not concluded 
Its not concluded, but theres not much potential
I know, did you not see me correct myself?
.
.
its not that i hate estelle-
she's just boring
For me its both 
she just doesn't have much going on
theres not really a character i hate tbh
But that its boring or linear story
For me i hate Estelle and Octy
And somewhat Kai
it took me forever to realize octy is a nerd
it clicked finally two days ago
Kai is Estelle but delivers his lines with a funny tone and has a better backstory
Octavia and Estelle are just both way too snobby
snobby nerd lol-
Kai is snobby but slightly funnier about it
Why i hate her
The combination sucks
But like
Era >>>>>>>>
And X
Those two are just

true
but-
i cant play him well and i never see him bc low elo
ive been trying to find ppl to help me practice
oh no i like all three monarchs
I could try to help sometime
personality wise
The lore of the team is great but Kai’s personality is 
His interactions bring him up tho
its hard to find a character i dont like personality wise
except well-
y'know
bc boring
i know she probably has interesting traits somewhere but like-
even her story is just....i don't respect it nor does it make me like her
loses once i quit
Rat
honestly I think paired with atlas her story isn’t SO bad
I guess atlas in general is just better

Estelle is a good character, it's just a shame that she needs quite a few headcanons to patch up those holes
i love estelle
That's every character in the game xdd

Here have a little WIP fic I have yet to finish but I don't feel like waiting until then to share
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JXsfmHwmlHrbmLqEFfztYJbrrBb7GD9LIEd38EN6QUY/edit?usp=drivesdk
:000 lets go
Been a while y'all. I have once again finished something. This one's Datablade. Covers some Ai.Mi and Zentaro banter designed to portray what I imagine to be some very hectic early days of their rooming together.
These two are fun to write, hopefully I did em justice.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BT0PexKdirQwy4Z30svIlna8hwcJnBmiQhVy2rIauSc/edit?usp=sharing
The paragraphs look a little chunky in spots, but I can't really tell when reading it myself because I know what all the words are supposed to be, so if I need to up the line spacing or something lemme know.
Now time to repost this in #1109615120021209249 because they're probably starving.
