There's so much Night of the Living Dead in how the vampires exist and how the setup evolves once the film goes full horror. The horde of living dead swarming outside; the fact that Everyone who dies turns; the focus on sparing someone from a fate worse than death. And we never actually see the vampires feed on the blood of someone who isn't turned which is interesting right? Obviously they're still vampires, but there's a healthy dose of zombie film in how they're framed.
And in terms of being a western that's more obvious, isolated setting and a close but not entirely trusting community, period setting in recent American history, the visuals of things like plantations and chain gangs and huge landscapes, the focus on morally ambiguous and doomed protagonists, different traditions of folk music, etc etc. There's even a train. If we're in modern american history and there's a train it's a western.
It is time! The Novel Navigation Notecards have launched on KS. You can back the project here.
This tool is designed to help you develop and organize your stories in a way that is tactile, adaptable, and fun. Bring your plotting off the screen and into the physical world.
Shuffle things around, tack things to the walls, spread 'em out like tarot cards, it's all up to you.
You can learn more and back the project on Kickstarter now!
every time i post about polyamory and defending it someone adds that dumbass fucking article clip that's like "more and more i have to defend people i think are annoying against people i know are dangerous."
why are you calling me annoying on a post defending my right to simply exist?
why do you think poly people are like, an 'acceptable' class of ppl to just mock even on posts by a poly person talking about biases against poly people?? and so much of the mocking is coming from other queer ppl! jsyk the majority who thinks polyamory is a disgusting perversion think the same thing about your monogamous gay relationship!
i make a post like 'it's fucked up that people judge me and make entire presumptions about my personality and life and morality based on the relationships i'm in' and you're like 'true they shouldn't do that. however you are annoying. which i know based on the relationships you're in''
i'm annoying???? what is wrong with you? and nvm that so many 'jokes' about poly ppl are actually just making fun of fat and disabled people. i am so fed up. how are you going to reblog a post to 'support' poly people and insult poly people in the tags???
say something nice or shut up. no one asked you to reblog my post.
You can’t believe it because it’s not true. Tumblr puts a comma after the thousands place, so an unedited screenshot would read “2,406 notes” - that’s how you can tell that this screenshot has been altered.
The actual post only got 42 notes. Someone made this forgery to make it look like more people follow the staff.
At edge of the garden, ready to go in with Sumutnyerl.
Zolf and Wilde recognize the blue vein patter and freak out a bit. Reassured by Sumutnyerl, they start walking.
Blue petals, young trees, birdsong. Very contemplative.
There’s the sound of voices. “Recognized by the Garden,” Sumutnyerl says. Figures appear and disappear among the tree trunks, then seem to observe them.
Wilde’s experience is different, he is actually hearing words, greetings and compliments 😊 Zolf ties himself to Wilde in case Wilde is compromised, overcome &c
First Cel (intensely) then the others have a sense of someone with them Hamid’s sister Aziza, Zolf’s brother Feryn, Cel’s husband Yoku, and Grizzop on Azu’s shoulders 🥰
[@evieebun125 and @lenaellsi and others have amazing art of these moments, links below]
Then, there’s a chilly breeze… the presences seem to be blown away, it gets quieter. The colors get dimmer, fewer petals, glimpse of something else. Sumutnyerl warns them about creatures - only react if attacked.
Entering the blight - Wilde is not fine.
Everyone hears “All your fault” (in AJN’s low disturbing monster voice) - Wilde is Incandescently Angry, starts singing, adds +3 to saves and attacks.
Will saves - Hamid rolls a 1, with Sumutnyerl is Shaken.
Roll initiative [AJN is very excited] - there’s the sound of sleigh bells and more All Your Fault as all the roots spring up around them.
been talking to a fellow monsterlover and made Titi'chit as my inspiration; inspired by a dancing spider
felt nice and werid to draw something for myself again; but enjoyed making her; if you want to see the spicy art of her check out my bluesky or send an ask or something
i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.
Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:
"Smooth edges of screen fonts"
My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.
Y'all.
I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.
Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:
Then you'll see this:
TURN IT ALL OFF.
I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.
The second best thing you can do for a Win10 computer is turn off whatever unnecessary services it's decided it needs to run in the background always. Some services it does need, but others are useless. Here's an article that goes into step by steps.
10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.
Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")
The first best thing you can do for a Windows computer is install Linux Mint. But some of us do need a few pesky Windows-specific programs. Bleh. Still, if you're up for a project, you can have both (and it's awesome). Here's an article about setting up a dual boot Windows/Mint system.
