More Than Looking Good, We're LOOKING STUNNING!

I'm LookingStunning and I'll eventually put stuff on my youtube channel probably. Anticipate the trainwreck. Embrace the spirit.

Why does staff still allow people funnier than you to leave tags on your posts. They should have fixed that by now

Ooh, this is actually kinda a neat thing, because you can think of it as a checklist:

Who: Main character(s)

Why: Character goal or desire (stated)

Why: Character need (implied)

When: Inciting Incident

What: Means (that achieves the goal/need)

Where: Place A >> Place B

How: The Plan

Obstacle(s): antagonist or challenge

For example:

Who: Bilbo Baggins, a respectable hobbit of Hobbiton

Why: Treasure, wealth (stated)

Why: Adventure, self-respect (implied)

When: After supper

What: Quest

Where: Hobbiton >> The Lonely Mountain

How: A company of dwarves, a wizard, and an ancient map and key

Main antagonist(s): a dragon

Thus, in less than 100 words:

Bilbo Baggins is a respectable hobbit in Hobbiton, never making any trouble or having any adventures. But when a wizard and a company of dwarves invite themselves to dinner, Bilbo finds himself joining their quest from the shires of Hobbiton to the legendary Lonely Mountain, the home of a long lost treasure, and quite, possibly, a dragon.

The Anatomy of Story by John Truby is a really good book by the by, if anyone’s interested in this sort of thing.

At the risk of being annoying, can I ask how you use Tarot for self-reflection? I used to really like it but stopped doing it as I started to be less comfortable with the idea of "I'm talking to spirits/a higher guidance/the universe". Maybe talking to a higher self? I don't know what interpretation I could use and I was wondering what you use.

You know the rubber ducky method? Where programmers keep a rubber ducky by their computer, and if they get stuck on something, they explain their problem to the duck until they figure it out?

The rubber duckie itself is not listening. The duck has no special properties or innate power. It's just a focal point the programmer can use to slow down and break up their struggle into simpler terms that they wouldn't articulate the same way internally.

Tarot cards, rune stones, whatever- I use them lil sumbitches like that. Just different ways of breaking down my life and my problems in a way I wouldn't normally do, so that I can sit back and actually think instead of letting my lazy wet meat computer skip around from step A to step W just 'cause it's faster.

I'm not personally talking to a higher power. I'm talking to *myself*, and inventing the other half of the conversation in a way that makes me feel like someone smarter is guiding the questions

Poems and Fiction Podcasts That Are Intrinsically Linked, Trust Me

Here’s a collection of amazing fiction podcasts and the poems with matching vibes.

Do you love fiction podcasts like The Magnus Archives, Malevolent, Old Gods of Appalachia and more? Do you want to know which famous poems fit the characters or plot? For worlds that are full of “every kind of blooming horror”, travellers from “a small and lonely planet”, female pirates with Sappho vibes and characters who “wanted to be with you forever”, these podcasts and poems have it all.

”This portrayal of a marginalized group was wrong then and is wrong now” and “This portrayal of a marginalized group was very progressive for the time period and paved the way for more representation while likely limited by factors outside of the creator’s control” are two statements that can and should ABSOLUTELY coexist and be kept in mind when interacting with older media

Being a notorious robotlover in the current state of "AI" is the worst. I love robots discovering how they process their feelings in fiction, but when a chatbot pretends it knows how to love it feels like an insult to the craft
