Shooter: Yeah, bro! It’s like your fiery passion slams into the other guy’s, like WHAM!
Joshua: Hee hee. Sounds like a fun time.

( Some snips of the TWEWY Game Script as I work on updating it. In which Joshua is more perverted than I ever hope to be + stupid + poignancy + some commentary. And me getting lazy halfway )

( A little theorising about the conversations between Joshua, Neku and Sho )

... I've also apparently lost a bunch of other scripts (like, all the Knights in the Nightmare work I did) when I did a tag clean up. Google has FAILED me.

Starting to consider turning this into an art blog, though I know that the moment I do, I'll probably stop doing so much art. I do like updating with WIPs on stuff I'm working on here, though.

And now, snippets of writing!

Speaking of writing, though, it kind of feels like my writing is extremely unrefined when I first put words down. Maybe it's the same for other people, I dunno. But most of the expression comes out in the third or so edit, which is a little frustrating; it feels like it takes a long time (too long) for me to churn out anything halfway decent OTL. At the very least, I've stopped staring at a blank page for minutes-hours when I sit down to write, thanks to Write or Die, so I guess I've gotten a bit faster at the very least.

Last LJ post in a while, I swear! I also just realised Photobucket's been resizing my images again 8| (or... not. Weird. It seems to display fine when they're shoved in an LJ post, but not directly linked) I've been flipping through official art for some references and it occurs to me that even though Joshua is the one that gets called wimpy, Neku actually seems to have less muscle than Joshua. In both official artwork and in sprites.

( Anyway you wanted to see more dead Neku right )

Update from the last post.

( This image wasn't meant to get as big as this?? And that trying out new colouring style? Probably isn't going to happen now. Maybe. I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE. )

You know, something that's kind of bothered me a little on a... well, I guess on an information level about TWEWY fanfiction, is when Neku, Shiki, Beat and Rhyme (especially Neku) seem to magically know about the inner workings of the Game with no explanation to how they know this.

( Cut for tl;dr )

Is this kind of infomodding happening because people don't want to write Joshua and/or Mr. H explaining backstage Game crap to Neku and gang? (I'm pretty sure you can get away with a "Mr. H told Neku and gang everything about the Game. Neku and gang are totally tripped out by this new knowledge and have a hard time grasping all of it straight away" or something of the like for most stories.) Or is it just plain oversight?

Who knows, but I'm having the opposite problem for my Digimon/TWEWY crossover planning, where I'm having trouble getting this backstage information from the TWEWY cast to the Digimon cast in an IC manner. The tables I'm flipping over this is made up by the fact I will get to write new!Composer Joshua flipping shit all over the story and it will be glorious.

Because I am not getting anything done when left to my own devices, so... some kind of routine to get my butt back into gear!

8AM: WAKE UP.
9AM - 10AM: Pianoing.
10AM - Lunch: TST things.
Lunch - 3PM: Maths (primarily revising Calculus).
3PM - 4PM: Pianoing.
4PM - Dinner: Maths/Shower/TSTstuff/Castlevania pic/Choose Your Own Adventure
Dinner - 10PM: If Maths stuff didn't get done, go do that. If I didn't get at least 1 creature completed in the Castlevania pic or I didn't get at least one area done in the Choose Your Own Adventure, go do that (Temporarily added: Christmas fic I wanted to do for people!). Otherwise, WoW or other gaming.
10PM - Midnight: WoW or other gaming.

Edit: Ahhhh I got two Mr. Pinchy in a row! And I got a Magical Crawdad! ♥

I took a small break from the Soma picture (4 more monsters until I do a full picture update here!I'm really excite; I'm really pleased with how it's turning out) to work on that TWEWY Choose Your Own Adventure thing through Joshua's mind. There are a pretty large number of areas in TWEWY, and giving each one all kinds of interactivity hurts my head. But I'm pretty pleased with how it's turning out so far, too.

You can try out what I've done of the draft HERE.

If you've got any comments on it, please leave them here rather than on that entry! (and please ignore any text that's not in Courier; those are my notes so it's easier to put together the whole thing in the final version). There's also a boo-boo once you enter the Scramble Crossing that I'll fix in the final version (it's just a case of me replying to the wrong comment /sigh). For now, pretend you can't see any text after you're given choices.

FINALLY, some time to myself, even if I still have to go and get life things done. I formatted my laptop with the intention of putting a better OS on it, but it turned out I didn't have the right CD for it. So I had to restore to factory settings, which means that I'm missing a lot of the things I used to have installed. This is both good and bad.

It's kind of weird, but for the last 2 years, I've been a pretty log heavy RPer. Now I feel more like doing commentspam. I think it might be because lately, I don't feel like I have the energy to do logs. Maybe it's because I can't be bothered doing any brain explaining when I've done it for so long with Joshua. I should be okay with it for Gold, though I need to password recovery his account; I lost LJlogin so I gotta unearth all my old passwords again.

A while back, I meant to write something for this TWEWY AU train prompt where the Players aren't tied by the Game. They're perfectly ordinary people who just happen to be on the same train for 5 minutes every day. It's still incomplete, but no matter how much I try to force it, the remaining parts are not coming together. Plus, I'm not happy with the parts that have been written. The incomplete version can be found [HERE]. I've got a couple of other incomplete TWEWY fics that I'm considering just putting up as well.


I've been trying to get updates on that one Soma picture going again on my Plurk, but Photobucket isn't co-operating with me. Stuff isn't uploading to the right place (when it even uploads) and I can't delete the images from the incorrect locations because the little hover box doesn't appear. As it stands right now, 32 monsters are done, with 85 left to go of the 117 monsters. I also realised belatedly that I made a mistake when drawing Soma, buuut it's a bit too late to change it now; I'd have to redraw him completely to rectify it.

( Potential future fandom projects after I complete the Soma image )

NSFW BTW. I'm going to hell and it's Levi and KB's fault. NSFW BTW..

Fun facts:
ಥ﹏ಥ This was physically painful for me to write. My face started hurting from trying not to laugh/cry at this.
ಥ﹏ಥ Every time I wrote anything more than PG13+, I had to break my teeth* before I would type it.
ಥ﹏ಥ I had to periodically slap my face every 5-10 minutes or I wouldn't be able to continue.
ಥ﹏ಥ I would periodically say "I'm going to hell. I'm going to hell. I'm going to hell." to whoever I was chatting with at the time. tasogareika laughed every time.
ಥ﹏ಥ I CANNOT EDIT THIS AT ALL BECAUSE IT IS SO HORRIFYING THAT THE EDITING PART OF MY BRAIN SHUTS DOWN AND DIES

* Actual breaking of teeth may or may not have occured


I WASTED A PERFECTLY GOOD DAY TO STUDY FOR THIS.
