she’s worth waiting for.
imagine a miles edgeworth who inherited absolutely nothing from his dad except NNGHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGH
Like father, like son.
do you know how much this feels like the first page of a sketchbook? this is the one that proves to you that you can be creative and great for the whole book, or if someone is looking at it: it’s their first impression of that part of you you channel through your art. it’s disgusting to see that go to waste by messing up a line, right? well, i did the maths. literally everyone is scared of doing it. no matter whether i see a masterpiece on someone’s first page, i know that the person who made it must have put so much thought and care into it. we all strive not only as creatives, but as humans, for perfection. but, we never attain it — that’s what brings us here, either finding an escape from our journeys on a blogging site, or trying to share our creativity with others.
if you think this is a whole load of cringe, my blog is literally titled ‘roma’s random rants’. you cannot stop me, for now i am here! and i shall find my way back to creation and artistry from the dark paths of art block!!! muahahaha!!!
Miles Edgeworth singing ‘My Past is Not Today’ from My Little Pony while alone in his office, almost about to throw his cravat on the floor during the second verse but not properly doing it because no way is he going to wear a cravat that he once threw on the floor in a moment of (un)necessary emotional intensity.
explore the characters that were underutilised in canon (either that or they DIE too early)
worldbuild as the author, carving the tiniest of additional details and headcanons into the existing universe
learn about and use different creative writing techniques in an environment where there is no expectation for your work to be perfectly polished
reasons to write fanfiction (I'll start):
share a cool scene that popped into your head
evoke a particular emotion the canon makes you feel
song made you think of a character or idea from canon
make people feel the same way about a character you do
make dolls kiss for fun
explore ideas the canon hints at but doesn't do anything with
traumatize characters and make them suffer
coddle characters and let them rest
had an insane idea for a crack ship and now everyone needs to know
the author of the canon was wrong and must be fixed
use familiar characters to explore your own ideas and plotlines
canon is too short and you need to wallow in the universe of the story
many good indie video games start with a gender neutral character going down a hole (undertale, ultrakill, hollow knight, i probably missed some)
therefore, i will be throwing my nb friend into a well, producing an amazing game in the process
thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Obsessed with the trope of when the Heroic Sacrifice does not work.
When the character fails to heroically sacrifice themself and now has to face all the loved ones they were about to leave.
Or even worse, the character does sacrifice themself, but it doesn't fix the situation. So those left behind have to face not only the grief of losing them, but also knowing that it was in vain.
i think i got the major ones
roma. she/her. i do not know what i am doing, and it shows.i like ace attorney, hollow knight, harry potter, the lorax, atla, and flatland.
