idr who it was who said it (maybe Kojima?) but every creator has a fire and you can take a bit of that fire and use it to build your own. If you want to figure out how to write good prose from base principles, be my guest, but don't expect your fire to get very warm

And even if you're planning on writing something that doesn't require full on prose (TV, comics, games, etc) I'd still say you should read! You can learn a lot from different mediums!

I think there is a little nuance in the whole "you don't need to read to write" discussion — namely that books aren't the only form of writing out there — but it still just boils down to obvious shit anyway. A good TV series or video game can teach you a lot, but they can't teach you prose.

I'm going to press on and come back to it another time but fuck this is the first time in a while that I've read back over a day of writing and not liked it 😔

Looked back over today's progress and realised. oh this is rough. this is gonna need work but idk what lmao

Nope that's standard, I have that typo too

You get used to this

reading work from Maria Ying really does spoil you on weaker or less characterful prose

The most immediate thing I thought of is Pacific Rim but that felt like a direct Hollywood response to existing mecha anime

I just exposed my friends to the Halloween Mercy copypasta and now my twink is asking if he can "pass his genes through me" in a stupid hypermacho voice

"expecting writers to read is fascism" is one hell of a take in an era when there's very tangible fascism going on and they openly don't want you to read

Yeah but it's like how you get a bonus for working holidays in some places yk

This is cruel and unusual and you should be entitled to financial compensation

I'm tickled by the fact that the most potential ship dynamic fuel in Rat has gone into pairings I've been referring to in my head as LickSip, NipSip and [redacted]

Take the rest u need oomfert

The appended clause of "experience arousal *as humans do*" is important because to a nymph built to be a nymph? Yeah there's a sense of arousal built in. But for a human plugged into one? That's just lines of code

"Nymphs aren't built to experience arousal" is a statement that's vital to the narrative of Rat in a Corner while also being demonstrably false if you take the four-boobed nymph who got horny at seeing a bunch of dudes get dismembered in Pink Diamond as fact (which I do)

Reminder that if you're a GO fanartist and want to create physical merch in whatever shape or form you please and sell it, feel free. You have the blessing of the author team.

You never know where that mascot will appear next, like a friendly cryptid

I should learn gunlance in Wilds

The pilebunker is the logical conclusion of the lance

Yknow I used to think lances are kinda goofy looking, until I realised that they are in practice a massive spike acting as an extension of your reach

I will let the twink know he has Desire's blessing o7
