I mostly just say shit about SCPs and Webtoons and stuff

Webtoon Quotes:

"We should get going now. Can someone go wake up the hottie?"

"Hottie?"

"He meant that old man you were with. Sorry, he's a perverted idiot."

"BUT IM JUST BEING HONEST, HELLO??? AM I WRONG???"

-INFINITE on Canvas by Miritomaki

Here's the "hottie" if you want to judge Tadashi's tastes

Okay, we got a new one, boys.

I also like the idea of showing something as a problem before it’s shown as a strength. Almost every character trait has two sides, and by showing the “bad” side first, it sets things up to not only make sense, but to also be very satisfying.

I love it because it implies catboys are stupid.

I HAVE A READING RECOMMENDATION FOR AROACES!!!

It’s called And Another Lovely Day by Leehama on Webtoon

It’s a non rom com about two coworkers who have a meet cute end up thinking the others in love with them

It has two aroace main characters, and pan and nonbinary side characters who have a romance going on

I 100% recommend it, I need more people to talk about it with

[bookwormsbutterfly]

I just read it and I LOVED It, but I'm also mad (not really) at you for making me fall in love with a comic in the midst of a moving-to-originals hiatus.

I was thinking of a pride art challenge people could do with their OCs, because I thought it'd be cute! A queer/trans artist with their creations.

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

Making a Speech Bubble Manager for Krita

Went on a bit of a side-quest to make a plugin for managing speech bubbles in Krita for the new text engine!

Code is largely based off of Rogudator's Speech Bubble Generator and I added some functionalities I'd use like batch adding balloons, some style options, and editing text after creating balloons (similar to Clip Studio's story editor). I made it for personal use and haven't tested it super extensively; use it at your own risk!

If you want to get the plugin, download the zip here and install plugin from file and enable it (you need to close and reopen Krita). There will be a docker menu where you can play around! It has more description in the plugin configs page, and I added some tooltips on hover too.

y'all ever watch or read something where you actually dislike most of the characters and you're only still invested in the hopes that they'll all just explode at the end

I made a new oc but I am missing a name so I am consulting the only expert I know that can give me what I want: baby name sites ran by white american moms.

Oh yeah baby here we fucking go

[bookwormsbutterfly]

I was looking for a something to call a character that sounded like a name, but referred to a disease, and what do you know? Not one but two parody baby name lists were available sharing just what I wanted. It's grand.

People who interpret "character playlist" as "playlist of songs the character would listen to" as opposed to the good and honorable "playlist that represents the character" are so alien they're chasing me and my cat around the spaceship. That metaphor got away from me. Much like the cat

[bookwormsbutterfly]

I enjoy keeping Character Playlists, and Character's Playlists. Elliot listens to almost exclusively rap, but Daughter by Ryan Cassata describes how he sees his parents and their relationship wonderfully. Wolves is a great song to Represent Bee, but she'd listen to heavy metal and kids TV/Movie soundtracks. Two playlists, more music.

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

[chantylay]

Se also "he DID say that and he was LYING, and somehow you didn't notice."

[bookwormsbutterfly]

There is something interesting about when the audience falls for a characters lies. I remember getting a comment on one of my pieces asking why someone was treating a character like he was the one who made the wild suggestion, when it wasn't him. And I was happy to see I'd written my manipulative character well enough that he managed to convince even members of the audience that he hadn't started something he clearly started. And I just had to acknowledge that implications and subtext can go over people's heads, and a character who lies and manipulates well, will manage to trick some of the audience too.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

I have fun making up explanations for things that could easily be handwaved like "suepend your disbelief" rather than my complex answers. Take Language:

My characters speak English, which is the language that's name was coined by Queen Engel of the Painted Kingdom. It's generally universal as the Painted Kingdom is a big deal and makes sure everyone else knows. One guy speaks French because he's from the country of Franken. The reason fae all speak the same language despite being a large variety of races is because they united aeons ago and intentionally melded their languages into one, which does have a large amount of words with similar meanings due to its history. Merfolk language is a form of sign language, their vocal chords are primarily used for echolocation and simple communication over long distances or in murky water. They can learn human languages, but will have a particular accent.

I'm unlikely to really mention any of this is the story but it's there of anyone asks me.

"Every isekai romance webtoon is the same." Yes. Unfortunately, I still really like that one story they're rocking :|
