Split between these two:

“That Moment.” That Moment is a collection of disparate scenes that I get in a flash, usually many many many chapters in advance. Each of these scenes packs some emotional punch FOR ME and is a defining moment of the story (examples from Just Legends includes Kay’s sacrifice for Arthur, the moment Arthur reunites with Kay in the underworld, the cursing of Demeter, and Arthur and Kay finding out who Ginny and Gareth are). Keeping the next one of these in mind often gives me the motivation to keep writing the story because I HAVE TO SEE THIS MOMENT HAPPEN. Usually, by the time I get to those scenes, they have changed dramatically from the way I originally envisioned them (for example, my first concept of Aji attacking Arthur was going to be her singing him into a stormy sea and leaving him to drown) and usually they change for the better. But when I get to That Moment, there is a great deal of catharsis for me personally if the scene goes well. I’m currently eyeballing, as my upcoming moments, Arthur meeting Shiro Mori, and what is happening when Ginny and Gareth return to their proper time.

I keep up with JJK!!!! Love it. Megumi is my son. 

GRINS AT YOU

just for u here’s a worldbuilding-y thing i realized i had never like. summarized.

so holograms are a very common thing in athela (they were originally invented there and their ubiquity is kind of an Athela Thing ™). a good example of this would be their AIs— which in this world stands for ‘artificial interactive’. specifically what an AI is is a holographic character that conversationally relays information from a database. that can be a lot of things, but unless you’re in a specialized tech field, you’ll mostly see them in simple-ish people-facing jobs, like front desk or retail. (far from All retail/etc jobs have adopted AIs, but they’re common at chain stores, or as a kind of bonus/back-up employee should the situation require it.)

majority of the time, AIs appear as humanoid figures with a symbol for a head (usually this symbol is relevant to the business they’re a part of, or a simplified version of the company logo). they’re also monochromatic holograms, so they’re only a single color.

the reason for this is that most AI are run on pretty inexpensive systems, and the ‘body’ isn’t necessarily the main focus; it’s more to help people interact with it more comfortably. these bodies are basically 3d models that are being posed in real time and then projected, so the simpler the rig and ‘model’, the easier they run.

wrong blog kinda but i'll allow it haha

It was your best day in years, so far.

Always be looking forward to the next best day, Sparks my dude!
