Randomized Platinum: Beginnings

Sometimes reality makes much more sense as the unconscious fantasies of the gods.

(I’m not suggesting that the whole run is a dream, just that the beginning was influenced by one)

We just deposited Squirtle into the day care, and we obtained Lord Amber. THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!

Finally! After 2 years! We have him in our possession!.. Its..Fitting. The first run we Had Helix. One year later, we had Dome. Now…we’re lead by Amber!

If we go through the game like this, It would give me a decent amount of closure.

Also, its nice that we put Squirtle in the day care, so if something stupid happens we at least can pull him out. However now both day care people are occupied.

Also, I don’t get why we keep doing that “Make a name out of the scrambles” thing. I mean, we did that only when we didn’t have a more fitting name. I’m just gonna call him Amber

#I saw this while browsing tumblr from my personal blog and I couldn't resist

canisaries

it’s not weird if you’re his #1 priest

(sorry it’s kinda hard to read, tumblr uploaded it too small and linking from imgur didn’t help either, i don’t really know what to do about that)

Well, okay guys… help wanted?

So I want to submit that pic+story to the TPP subreddit, but I have no idea how to do so. See that “story“ is more of a description to the picture than anything, but I don’t know how to submit both at the same time. I can’t submit the pic and put the “story“ in the comments because it’s way too long, and I can’t make the “story“ a text post because it only really works when it’s paired off with the pic, and also the “story“ in its entirety is way too long to be a single post.

Is there any convenient place I could maybe post it to and then link to, where the “story“ would be easy to read but the picture would be seen as well? (I know Docs could maybe work, but I don’t know if that would reveal my identity? Which is something I don’t want to do)

Because this thing sure took a darn long time to finish and I want to hear their opinions on it as well.

Thanks in advance!

You could post the picture as an image post on tumblr, then paste the story in as the caption, and link to that on Reddit? You wouldn't be the first to do something like that. The only downside is you can't have a big, glorious title at the top of the post, but you can make it the first line in the caption of you want it.

How to make a character's death sadder

Don’t have them die of old age after a long, fulfilling life. Many people don’t even think of this as sad (note that this can still work if you have enough of the other factors).

Leave one of their major goals unfinished. The more enthusiastic they are about completing the goal, the sadder.

Give them strong relationships with other characters.

Make them fight against whatever is causing their death. Their ultimate loss is sadder if they struggle.

Kill them in the middle of their character arc.

Don’t describe their funeral in detail. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that long descriptions of funerals kill the sadness.

7. If possible, try to kill them off in the middle of the story, so we had time to like them and we will have time to let the loss settle in.

8. Also, place surviving characters in a situation where having the deceased person there would help them get out. You can choose whether you will point this fact out or if you want the audience to make the connection themselves.

9. Make them die by sacrificing themselves to save someone they love from a danger created by the antagonist.

based on a few deaths that made me blub like a baby…

10. have their loved one, broken hearted, tell the team to stop fighting because “its over.”

11. have their pet come looking for them.

12. have their loved one perform a popular song at their funeral so it makes the fans cry whenever it’s played.

13. family witnessing the death and/or blaming themselves.

so… let’s add some frustration to your dear readers’ sadness, shall we?

14. kill the character in the middle of making a joke, smiling, or expressing/experiencing joy/happiness.

15. make the character’s death slow and painful, but make them unable to call out for help even though they can literally see the other characters nearby.

16. after killing the character, have others think the character had betrayed them so they’d always hate them and remember them as traitors and never say nice things about them… Give your readers no chance to have group-therapy with other characters by making them the only ones who know the truth.

17. right before their death, show a side of them nobody has seen. (someone who is always tough and brave being genuinely scared of dying alone; someone who is always laughing being in tears before dying, etc.)

18. make them the only person who knows a big important secret that would help other characters in the story.

19. have them being lied to before dying. (thinking they’ve been betrayed; thinking they weren’t loved; thinking they’ve lost their loved ones, etc)

20. make the character very enthusiastic/passionate about a certain goal, constantly put stress on their goal, have them die unexpectedly before they can reach their goal.

and the best one…

21. have another beloved character kill them–better be a close friend to your character, one that absolutely nobody suspects, one that everyone can’t help but love, one who is always enthusiastic about things and encourages your character. THEN

reveal the truth only later when it’s too late and the a-hole character has already escaped.

have a cowardly character know the truth and never tell anyone else

have another character find out the truth and have them die before revealing it to others.

have the said character ^ not actually die, but go through something so they’d forget the friend of the deceased character is actually an asshole.

This way only your readers will know the truth, thus the frustration would be… most enjoyable for you.

Satan out.

22. Don’t kill their body. Kill their mind.

Leave the physical shell walking and talking, but strip out everything that made that person who they were. Make them forget all about their loved ones, themselves, their experiences and past, their skills, and have them have to start over completely from scratch. Physical and mental disabilities bonus points.

And keep them in a place where their loved ones will be taunted every day by a living ghost.

23. the character you kill should be the most innocent one. it’s horrifyingly sad if the puppy gets killed. but if its the bad guy that dies, it’s like “oh, cool.”
