Summary: It had been five years since their gods had been forced out of the Canvas. Five years, for them, in which Gustave had had to wrap his head around not only the events after his death — of Canvas Worlds and a grieving family, of a dead brother and the remains of a soul pushed past its breaking point — but also of their future. A future they now, apparently, had for years and years to come, if his friends were to be believed.

So yesterday I managed to beat Simon with...

A motherfucking DDR mat. Took many attempts, I purely lucked out with Maelle and Sciel (Verso as a gradient charger). I didn't have access to all attacks as I couldn't remap the keys (I'm still figuring that out) but I swear I can parry this mf with a dance moves.

Only proof I've got now, I'll record the whole thing once I've got conditions to do it, for now you have to take my word for it.

And after that someone from a discord server I'm in suggested the party just whooping into the Abyss with a DDR mat and Simon gets all confused so I had to give in:

Live Simon's reaction (even Clea got puzzled):

do fic readers know that their comments actually influence the course of the story sometimes? i don't mean in a "you need to write it this way because i say so 😡" type of comment, i mean when people are asking questions or really engaging with the plot and the themes in the comments they sometimes bring up things that i didn't even think of, or dig into parts of the story that i've overlooked, or get really interested/fixated on something i was going to just kind of glance over--and it has me going 'oh wait that's actually really interesting, that's a good point' and fully adding or tweaking or changing things about the story going forward. i'm literally adding an entire additional chapter to something right now because someone's comment had me like "oh i didn't dig into that as much as i could have." you have impact!

Reblogging cuz I’m once again in the middle of adding an entire new plot arc to a fic because of a comment - and you know what, it made it better!
