"are you sure you're autistic" my mom asks as I'm in my Pokémon pajamas with 5 of my Pokémon plushies by me as I play Pokémon New Snap on my Pokémon decorated Switch while listening to Pokémon YouTube videos and waiting to open more digital Pokémon cards
You guys will never guess what my special interest is
Thinking about how on more than one occasion my favorite character from a piece of media has been a dark haired man that the fandom and/or my friends compare to some sort of nuisance animal (rat, raccoon, etc), is one of if not the primary villain of their media but is not introduced in the beginning, but instead has a very short appearance semi early on, then truly shows up later, also is genuinely a genius but also is a little silly sometimes, and also is devoted to his god while being able to be read as having a god complex
This is such a specific type but something something two nickels, or in this case two husbands
Nothing is more fun than revisiting characters and stories from a while ago. Even if it's only been a few months since my last update to the stories, writing and sharing that writing with my friends is awesome
Also I love coming up with entirely new parts of the world, fleshing out the universes I made by giving them unrelated moving parts to other stories happening. Maybe characters from the A focus will someday meet the ones from the B or C focus. Maybe there's a single character tying them all together. It's so fun especially when other people are influencing the story
This post is just a segue into potentially sharing excerpts from my writing here, though I'm not sure how well the excerpts will work without the 7 years of lore explained as context lmao
4am thoughts, I love Pokémon ship names. Like okay you can have your AfterDeath and your Chiluc (I'm in both fandoms too) but my absolute favorite is called AppraisalShipping. Wdym there's one called GreatGatsbyShipping. I love telling ppl these names
Oh how do I know I have a really bad hyperfixation character? My coworker got me a sticker of him. And when she gave me the sticker I did a little stompy feet stim and immediately felt pain in my bad leg but that's fine, I have a Gortash sticker now. Look at him, look at how cute he is
I need 20 more
Fun fact everyone when I found out there's no way to save him I stopped playing that run for a week and made a new save because I hated it that much
I do refuse to acknowledge the death of Gortash. I shall feign that his demise be but a Mandela effect.
Father has commanded it is my turn to play Undertale
As a writer whose default is dialogue, kudos right back to writers who use more description and such. Y'all put so much detail into your works and I love it, wish I could explain what I visualize as well as you guys do
kudos to writers with dialogue-heavy works, I got mad respect for y'all. love using dialogue as a tool, but my default settings are non-verbal (dialogue) and non-stop yapping (description).
I just spent an ungodly amount of time infodumping to my girlfriend about Fall Out Boy. I was originally trying to talk about Grandson because I love his music
Also fun fact, Grandson - who wrote songs such as Die Young, thoughts & prayers, and 6:00 - has a song in Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie
Work is hell let me daydream about my domestic Durgetash AU/alternate ending
Did I come up with it today? Yes. But also it's about to be my only source of comfort as I brave the storm that is working at a grocery store
Currently writing a sort of continuation Durgetash AU where my Durge character (Yurena, because she's my main Durge character so why not) convinces Withers to bring Gortash back after everything that happens, and the two of them (now both having been given new life) are free from their gods and decide to simply travel Faerûn. In it I lean into them putting old skills to new use, and that leads to Gortash inventing a camera for Yurena. This is essentially how him showing her it goes
Gortash: I made this, you can look through this lens and then click this button and it will take a picture of whatever you see through the lens. I'm working on a device that connects to it to see all the pictures you take but for now you can see them on this too Yurena: *staring at him through the camera* This is so sweet of you, what made you do this? Gortash: Well a while back you said something about wanting to capture a moment forever, and I wanted to make that happen for you. Plus I always have admired that creative spark of yours, now you can make the beauty you see last forever. Anyway I started thinking about what I could- Yurena: *click* Gortash: ...what was that Yurena: You said I can make anything beautiful last forever Gortash: My dear, I'm honored, may I see the picture Yurena: Sure Gortash: *staring at the picture of him mid sentence, not at all posed for a picture*
And that is how Yurena gets Gortash to be speechless for a solid minute because he can't decide if he hates the picture because of how unflattering it is or if he loves it because he knows she's seeing the beauty of his mind at work and it's such a wonderful feeling to be loved
I should post about Yurena soon like I did for Echo
