In Hell

Zanka sheepishly makes his way over. It's become less embarrassing over the years, and less frequent, but sometimes he just needs it.

Enjin usually sits down in a big armchair, and zanka just kinda curls up on top him. It was easier when he was younger, and he must be heavier now, but Enjin never complains. Zanka often falls asleep, and Enjin can tell once he does because the tension Zanka always carries in his shoulders finally dissipates.

Just. Zanka not feeling comfortable or 100% safe around other ppl but Enjin is one of the few exceptions.

(Sometimes Riyo joins in when she finds them, and Enjin pretends to protest at having two people on him, but she knows he’s full of shit. When Riyo is there, Enjin tends to fall asleep too, cause having two ppl on him is like a super weighted blanket)

(Rudo hasn't yet joined in, but he lingers around and sneaks peaks at his teammates who seem so content to just... sleep on each other)

This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of Mario's central plot structure. Mario always gets his ass beat in his initial encounter with an outside context problem, then spends the bulk of the game going around gathering allies and kicking the legs out from under the outside context problem's support structure.

"I don't think Kirby gets paid for this."

"That's-a not what I said."

One- Your characters can be bad people, they can do bad things. There doesn't have to be a reason or a moral. You can make them bad if you want to. No other reason needed.

Two- it doesn't have to be good, it just needs to be written. On my last book i literally wrote the words "dumbest version" on the top of the page because I had seen some advice to do that. It changed everything. I stopped trying to make it perfect, I just tried to make it. Period. Full stop. You can edit bad writing. You can't edit a blank page.
