It's okay! I'm relieved that was the case, you'd be surprised how small fandoms can have people being weird like that so I try to stay hypervigilant and weed out any stuff like that if it looks some type of way.

Anyway, among other things, something I think you'd enjoy about it is the writer's approach to storytelling. He did a bit of a qna episode where he talked about leaving contemporary music because he wanted to make something that made people feel things, and for him that was typical modern storytelling, like E.T., but also he realized that once you understood that basic formula you could fill it with all kinds of weird variables and people would engage with stuff outside their norms. I remember you talked in a live stream about why you loved storytelling, and although the reasons aren't identical I can see the same passion in both your works, so there's a chance you will too! Or not.

Happy July!

One of my less desirable character traits is that I am prone to being a jealous, bitter fuck. Which means if any sort of media treads too closely to my own vision and lane or passion I have to actively suppress the angst of me not actively creating my own thing and pushing myself to reach my potential as a creative.

So this unfortunately sounds like it would be too close to home. 😂

Did you know that Love Language theory was created by a Southern Baptist pastor and marriage counselor? And that it was actually a big piece of the weird ass shit I went through with my brief marriage to my high school not so sweetheart after we graduated? That last bit is a little piece of trivia you probably wouldn't have known. 😂

So, the easy answer is that these fictional characters are all meant to be adaptable to individual listeners and locking them into any one archetype actually runs the risk of breaking the fantasy and limits what sort of content I could make for them in their more fluffy boyfriend experience content.

I just saw moth Seth artwork.

Can you imagine how utterly fucked it would be for someone to come to me in the hopes that I would piss on that concept so soon after it was posted? That feels kinda icky if ya ask me.

I think all sorts of those ideas are great. We've seen puppy Seth, moth Seth, and I'm sure others I haven't considered.

But thinking I'd engage with the concept in a "is this good, or is there a better one" type of way is not really my vibe and I'm side eyeing the whole thing because it feels like it could be someone trying to be petty. Or just painfully unaware of how shit like that can look in a fandom space.

The answer is probably the Director's Cut for BitterSweet chapter 1, but i got about 75% through with it and lost everything I had recorded...and did it again.

Still thinks it's the most fun I've had. But the psychic damage I took from having to start over fresh was significant.

I think it was an experience where I was uniquely confident about the material, the expanded interactions between Seth and Alphonse were just too damn good. I felt like I was really hitting that shit.

Even now nearly a decade into this, I still feel uneasy when I'm not super locked in. Recent recordings have required several early takes to try and get me into the zone. Lots of times I just have to accept that I'm aiming for something that isn't there and gotta keep it moving.

But there are times where things feel incredibly right. I hope i have more of that soon.

I think celebrating character birthdays is a wonderful thing for fans.

I have to be reminded of my closest friends and family's birthdays multiple times in the weeks leading up to the date. I cannot treat my characters birthdays as yet another deadline or task to prepare for. 😂

But I think it's awesome that people are celebrating! I just don't think bait reminders like this are going to get anything you want out of me, and are actually a source of stress, not joy. Wish it was different but I ain't built like that unfortunately!

I'll be trying to reblog fanart and stuff to celebrate but that's all I've got for now.

And if you DON'T have AppleTv,,, get it, or pirate it

What if I told you I accidentally saw a devastating spoiler without knowing what I was seeing just because an edit went crazy on Tiktok............

I have a feeling found family is one of them /pos

Here's my hot take.

Found family as a primary building block trope is too mundane to be captivating. It should be a tertiary result and maybe not The Point.

Ironically, the classic "the friends we made along the way" bit works because it is the road traveled that actually sells it and not the trope itself. I think it works better as a realization than like......the thing.

Which I guess you could say that's implied to begin with, but my point I'm meandering towards is that I don't think of it in the moment I'm conceptualizing and putting it together. Like if you think about BitterSweet, that tag wouldn't work until later in the story and I didn't know it was going that direction until I was there.

And as I try to think about what excites me right now I'm sorta...? Struggling.

Maybe it's that I often start from a character centered idea and build outwardly from there. I'm often thinking in the direction of "oh this archetype but do THIS with them" not "oh this trope would be fun if I put this archetype in it".

Cart before horse etc. which I think varies between every writer and their strengths.

I don't get a ton of recommendations actually. 🤔 Nothing I can think of off the top of my head, I've long forgotten if there was something that fits the question.

The same "idk wtf to do" I'm facing with every other illustration filled narrative story applies here. I'm trying to determine what I want to do and how I'll do it, but once I get that nailed down I can figure out how to get rolling.
