Killed That Bitch Agheel! Kicked My Ass Several Times A Few Days Ago, But I'm 20 Levels Stronger And

Whew, just under a month since I started putting this fic down into a Google doc and it's already *way* longer than I was expecting. And I've only just finished arc 3... of 11. Satisfying as hell though :D

Can't wait to see how people react to the unposted chapters---in several weeks, lol

So I've been playing a lot of Elden Ring recently.

Still haven't fought Margit but I have killed enough enemies to get some full gearsets (so surprised when I wiped out the Limgrave Caravan on a whim and got the Noble's Estoc) Also attached is the gear and weapon I've been using normally. Fully cleared the Weeping Peninsula today!

(yes the character is a girl, soulsborne player characters just never look all that feminine, also I like the short hair)

if u get this, answer w/ three random facts about urself and send it to the last seven blogs in ur notifs. anon or not, doesn't matter, let's get to know the person behind the blog

no obligation obviously!! 😺

hmmm, three random facts about myself...

I've made several paintings for people as gifts in the past, its something I enjoy even though I don't think I'm very good at it.

I used to go jumping off a bridge into a waterway in my town, but its like a major waterway and riptides have killed people there in the past, so yikes.

I'm listed as a published author on a research study in a major scientific journal.

Really, I think I'm quite boring, it even says so in my blog description

So! The first arc of my Worm/KotOR2 fanfic has been completed. I am going to be taking a brief hiatus to work on more chapters for the fic and organize a healthier upload schedule.

When I release the next chapter, I’ll reblog this post to let anyone interested know.

To those who have already read my fic: thank you so much!

To those who may do after reading this post: your support is greatly appreciated!

It has been a privilege to write this fic so far and I am blown away by the attention it has gotten!

EDIT: i meant first arc oh my gosh its not even close to done, did not mean “final arc”

I had a limited number of options and sadly couldn't acount for shades! If you think alec's favorite color is a particular shade of something, say, "burnt umber," please vote the nearest option, so, in this case, "orange."

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

Writing Advice for Brainstorming

Mix genres and time periods: Experiment by combining elements from different eras or genres to create unique settings and narratives.

Use "what if" scenarios: Pose unexpected questions (e.g., What if time travel operated on emotions rather than mechanics?) to spark novel ideas.

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.

So there's a new fic on SpaceBattles that's trying something new called "Taylor Kills Nazis" where, as you may have guessed, Taylors kills Nazis (while buddy copping around with Sophia).

Some SpaceBattles commenters and, surprisingly, mods have had a lot of trouble dealing with this.

Meanwhile others approve, and have had some helpful suggestions for the author:

Anyway, the story's cool so far. Gives me Michael Mann vibes.

So what, that's 32 pages about worm probably? Goddammit

my greatest fear--not actually my greatest fear i have a lot of very great fears--one of my bigger fears (like, top 20) is that behind the bastards will do an episode about the simurgh death cult and robert madison evans will explain to his audience of ten quadrillion listeners what worm is.

i got so scared when he explained who yudkowsky was back in the AI episodes i thought he was gonna bring up the hillary clinton thing

Do people care if u get inspired by other polls.... Anyway the red/blue poll I see going around is nice but I found that I associate my friends with all sorts of colors so. here

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.
