I am always thinking about every line of dialogue in the first 50 seconds of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

HELLO?

[biggerchallenge]

Darkplace is a key example of how in order to truly master making art that is "deliberately bad" you need to have a thorough understanding of what the medium considers the rules for "good form" so that you can than break every single rule.

Captain Eugene Choi. Yes, sir. You were in a street shootout with Japanese soldiers – how many rounds did you shoot? Exactly three rou..nds… Then why is your gun fully loaded? You know where to go, right? RUN!

♡ Whump Plot Structures ♡

This was inspired by a post about sickfic plot structure that I saw at one point...I can't find it though, unfortunately. I'll credit it if anyone knows what I'm talking about! But I wanted to contribute some whump ideas of my own.

Pure Recovery Arc: We begin with whumpee at their lowest. Whumpee is getting better over the course of the story. Obstacles may arise, but they do not build on each other - each one is just overcome, and then on to the next. It often feels efficient and satisfying, like things falling into place. Every new sentence offers a relief. There is no pyramid structure and no climax - rather, this structure can be thought of as pure falling action. Relaxing to read. May read almost like a checked-off to-do list.

Rocky Recovery Arc: We begin with whumpee at their lowest. Whumpee is getting better over the course of the story, but there are frequent downturns leading to mini-climaxes along the way as whumpee overcomes each one. We're never certain if they're going to make a full recovery or not. Tension builds to a climax in which their recovery or downfall is solidified. Classic pyramid structure.

Trauma Arc and Recovery Arc: The story is divided into two acts - the first focuses on increasing trauma that builds up to a climax in which whumpee can't take it anymore and at that moment, either escapes or is rescued. The second portion of the story focuses on their increasing progress towards recovery, leading up to a second climax in which they fully overcome what they've been through (perhaps by arriving at a lesson, by getting revenge, etc.). The first and second halves can echo or mirror each other in poetic ways.

Trauma, Admission, and Recovery Arc: This is the same as above, except the story is divided into three acts. Again, the first focuses on increasing trauma building up to escape. But this time, whumpee can't talk about what happened to them or can't admit they need help after what they've been through. The second act is devoted to them spiraling until they're forced to admit their pain at the climax. Then, a third act focused on their attempts to recover can begin. Again, these acts can echo or mirror each other in poetic ways.

Buildup to Breakdown: This follows a Fichtean Curve. Every time it seems like things are getting better, a new obstacle is added to the pile. The stakes just keep getting higher - more injuries are added, they get sicker, more bad things happen. Eventually, a climax is reached in which whumpee's problems must all be faced at once, and they may succeed or fail, followed by the consequences of that.

No Conflict/Flat: Whumpee is at the same level of pain throughout the story. We're just seeing a detailed description of their pain and/or the comfort that they're experiencing. It stays roughly the same the whole time. Good for fluff fics...or for a scene of whumpee just wallowing, or sitting through torture. Often feels dreamlike and outside of time.

This is the exact sort of passive-aggressive Rich Old Man Grumpiness I can get behind

[vexwerewolf]

I think it's particularly notable in that this man basically set up a form of complaint that would only ever be seen if he was proven right. Masterful.

how many more things like this are all around us? :O

[thestuffedalligator]

Discworld is the only fantasy setting I know of that opens with The Magic Is Going Away and everyone is just kind of okay with it. Like “Welp, got to move with the times, can’t run a condom factory when there’s elves all over the place”

[thestuffedalligator]

And whenever The Magic Comes Back, some overtired reluctant protagonist has to roll their eyes and Put The Magic Back Where It Came From

In any other fantasy setting the return of dragons, sourcerers, elves or unicorns would be some kind of beautiful, bittersweet closing note, but in Discworld it prompts the same kind of response as a bat in the house

[thestuffedalligator]

The Magic: *comes back*

Some scrappy old overtired Discworld protagonist:

Sigh - it will be worth it but dang that is a huuge series.

[andyoullhearitagain]

If you've never read any before I highly recommend picking one of the main plot lines and reading those in order rather than reading straight through I'm the order of publication.

I really like the City Watch and for this particular theme the Witches.

I’m smacked upside the head with the knowledge that some of the people who grew up with Caramelldansen originally are absolutely teachers right now.

Holy Shit.
