Some notes for planning the Devil survivor Crossover (one of the more difficult things will be coming up with a title :| ). Most of this is going to be pretty incomprehensible though. If you haven't seen it already, the placeholder website for Devil Survivor Overclocked has a trailer and screenshots containing voice clips. From what I hear, the voice acting seems ok, though Atsuro's voice sounds a lot like the person who did Shinji Ikari for Evangelion.

For the record, the text that scrolls in the trailer is Romans 3:1-10

( Romans passages here, as seen in the trailer )

I'd really like to see what all the writing/code says in game when the Demon Summoning Program is booted for the first time. I heard rumour that it was part of the actual game's code.

( Some game events that I wrote down a while back, because my handwriting is incomprehensible. There's a little extra script in here, too. )

I can't get over how much people seem to like that short TWEWY/Devil Survivor crossover I wrote spontaneously.

I don't think I'm a well known writer. I don't write chaptered stories, I don't comment on other peoples' works much, I don't advertise myself much, I'm bad and often don't reply to comments, I don't write for particularly big fandoms etc. etc. There's lots of reasons. So I'm used to not getting much feedback on my writing.

But for the crossover, I've been getting an unexpected amount of feedback, some trickling in long after I've posted it up. And they're a little more detailed than the feedback I usually get and arrr it's just making me really excited about writing an expansion on that one-shot that I kind of want to start writing it now. But I want to do a good job of it, and that starts with me thoroughly reviewing Devil Survivor canon. I've talked a little bit to other people about this to bounce some ideas around TWEWY side, though nothing really solid. I'm probably going to compile a list of events that (can potentially) happen each day in Devil Survivor, and then I also need to get the world building sorted out, since my standard TWEWY headcanon isn't going to work in this setting. I'm actually still quite excited for this, even though I haven't even started working on this yet * A* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You know what the hardest part of it will be?

Writing Beat's speech D:


In other non spazzy news, been busy with uni and Pokémon. I meant to get back into League of Legends, but the fact the frequent, relatively large patches is really offputting, even more so now that I can't actually launch the game because of some bizarre error that involves me reinstalling it to fix it. Yeah no.

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 )

HI THIS IS A OH GOD I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON WITH TOTO IN DMW POST.

( a more shallow brain dump because lol tests and lol gaming being very distracting )

( OKAY let's have some short Atsuro thoughts )

I just had the most awesome fic idea ever for Devil Survivor.

The MC gets stuck in a time loop (ala Grim Grimmoire), continually reliving the seven (8) days (or maybe a few more days after the 7th) of the Tokyo Lockdown until he picks the 'right' path. He keeps all the knowledge of what happens whatever route he picks, and keeps all plot significant items and his demons.

I. I kind of want to write this. It's not a re-telling of plot events, because it opens up many different OTHER routes in which you can fuck things up. Knowing exactly what the Laplace mail is referring to messes things up more. What if the Laplace mail itself changes? What if you skip days because you know where everything is and what you have to do to end the Lockdown, even if the rest of your part doesn't? Just. picking the 'right' path will be difficult.

No. I can't write this. I haven't even finished Joshua's story ;;

S-Sigh justplugit. I just need more icon fodder now. But there aren't enough sprites in game to fill the 15 icon slots (even if I could get sprite rips/screenshots) and the official artwork tends to be more for the pretties than expressions the characters often use, as shown by the very pink icon. I'd raaather not use fanart, because the majority of the fanart I've seen has been on pixiv, and they've got a PLZ DON'T USE WITHOUT ARTIST PERMISSION and I respect that. (and even if they didn't have that notice, I'd still ask permission)

This is a character thought-dump masquerading as an essay. It will contain many SMT: Devil Survivor spoilers. Read at your own risk.

Okay so I've kind of been following Masterchef Australia in the past two weeks. For those who don't know, it's basically a cooking competition for amateur chefs. Sort of like uh. Idol or So You Think You Can Dance, only. You know. Cooking. (I live vicariously through them, maybe) Today was the last elimination round before the finals, where there would only be two amateur chefs, selected from what, 7500 chefs, who will take the price.

So, as I was watching the elimination, in which the last guy was eliminated from the competition. And I slowly realised, to my absolute horror, that I shipped Chris and Poh together.

w-what the hell. I NEVER DO THIS WHAT THE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL.
