The timeline from what I understand it (for now, things will change and evolve as the story goes on)

• Color escapes the void

-> meets Ink

-> meets Dream and Blue who try to help get Color on his feet

-> Dream tries to bring some sort of meaning to Colors life and fails (during this period apparently Killer and Color kept bumping into eachother across aus but no true confrontation happened until)

-> they got into a fight that nearly killed Color, broke his arm, but apparently left him with some excitement for the future

-> Dream and Nightmare have their confrontation at Nightmare's castle

-> Present time where Color is training with Blue

There are approximately 3 flashbacks which might be confusing folks (plus the beginning being set in the past when Color just escaped)

1. Dream laments that he hasn't been able to help color until recently (which cuts the past progress of Color since escaping, which includes him being standoffish, his bonding with Delta and Epic, and his broken arm for which we knew Killer was involved but not the specifics)

2. Dream flashes back to his conversation with Nightmare (which takes place after the Killer and Color fight, as Killer is looking into how souls affect monsters, and Color has his broken arm when he comforts Dream)

3. The current flashback Color gets when fighting Blue (which shows us what happened during his fight with Killer)

Sorry for the long ask, I just know a bunch of folks were struggling with the timeline so I wanted to lay it out as I understand it,,,

That's all correct! Thank you!

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

[rebornofstars-deactivated202510]

you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared

[galadriel1010]

This. Writing is not like dinner. It can be consumed many times

[sapphia]

you write it once so it can be read forever

“It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product.

[gingerhaze]

“It’s digestible”

[rhea314]

“It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:

The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.”  Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index.  Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5]  In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s.  Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco.  Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.

[nianeyna]

I have learned a new thing today.

[soupwife]

Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated

[nianeyna]

I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.

[dancinbutterfly]

but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!

Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.

[mr-elementle]

Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the “it’s digestible” in the gay stuff was a reference to crisco’s tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because it’s main competition came from “enhanced” lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food

[papapastoral]

And in case you were still wondering, @mudwerks.. Tuna Croquettes

[elf7knight]

This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.

It’s a net profit of information. 12/10 post

"I just find it hard to get invested in female characters" ok well try? You have internalized misogyny, as do we all. That doesn't mean you should just... do nothing about it. Try to fight the internalized misogyny in your head. Make an effort to analyze her even if it doesn't come naturally. Seek out fanfics focused on her. Find someone who's got girlblorbo brainworms and let them infect you. If she's genuinely underwritten, if the writers didn't care, you start caring about her- take the scraps you have and go wild with them.

I'll let you in on something awesome: The more girlblorbos you become obsessed with, the more the barrier between you and being invested in female characters breaks down. That's why conservatives hate representation in the first place. And obviously fandom isn't activism, but I think you should examine how you interact with art, and fight the biases you bring to it. I think it's good for you to do that.

No one's saying you are mandated to get invested in female characters, but it's a little weird when you don't even try.

Watched a video about so-called "pity yuri" (wlw pairings that are There but the fandom rarely engages with them), and the overall abysmal yuri fandom rates.

Some comments were just... Very sad. Especially this one:

And this reply:

It's just awful. I hated the original comment's defeatism, so I replied that I used to be like that, managed to get better, that I believe anyone can!

And you know what, at least one person was genuinely curious as to how:

I wrote a whole longer reply to this, but at the core of it was: START TO CARE ABOUT FEMALE CHARACTERS. (Also, disengage your fandom enjoyment from mandatory shipping.) Make women OCs!

Antisemitism is fucking crazy. I’ll be hanging out with people thinking they’re normal and then randomly say “oh sorry I don’t eat pork cuz kosher lol” and the entire vibe of the room changes. Everyone suddenly goes quiet. Someone leaves suddenly. It’s like I’ve said a slur by vaguely implying I’m Jewish while being in a room of 20-something Gen z leftists. It’s like my existence is somehow deeply unsettling to them. I really don’t understand why. I don’t understand what echo chamber they are so deeply entrenched in that they believe they can decide someone’s entire moral frame just from their ethnicity……. And call that progressive?

I’ve started hiding when I’m around my non-Jewish friends, coworkers, and community members. I love my work and I love my community activism so I make the choice to be quiet. I don’t eat pork because… well I was raised mostly vegan (technically true). I don’t hang out on Friday nights because it’s my “personal day.” I don’t celebrate Easter because I just didn’t grow up with it. Just don’t worry about it right? Just don’t think too hard. I know my humanity is conditional in your mind. Just don’t worry about it.

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?

my best writing advice *about* writing advice is that you absolutely do not have to follow all the popular advice you see BUT ☝️ you have to make sure you're not following it on purpose
