Most people I know had that one movie as a kid; that one movie that they would watch over and over and over to the resigned acceptance of their parents. I’ve always thought that movie says something about a person. What was your movie?

Absolutely love your Off Colors art. It’s so beautiful. Lars, the Off Colors gems and their nemesis Emerald are hilarious.

Perhaps you could draw something about the gems dressing Lars (and themselves?) in different Halloween costumes.

This absolutely isn't what you asked for

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.

writing isn’t hard. i just have to extract 80,000 words from my brain using sheer psychic force

[scolop98]

huh. if i had a nickel for every time a fanfic author announced they were actively writing the sequel to my favorite fic from a fandom i'm not in anymore, I'd have two nickels. which is frankly very exciting!! loveluckylost is three chapters into a Counting Down midqual AU where Connie and Lars interact with the Crystal Gems, AND PitViperOfDoom is actively working on another 4-shot YUTS sequel lets goooooo

this is an example of defamiliarization, where something totally normal, conventional, and ordinary - like honkwiching - is taken and described as something that sounds weird and foreign

[montybuggershop-hooty]

This isn't exactly what you asked for @spiralshells you hero. A true inspiration.

In my heart I know it would be funnier if I did everyone super on model, but being able to draw all these character’s recognisably from memory is a weird feeling so you get the sketch.

So hey! Five years later, I'm writing more Counting Down.

📖 Counting Down: Familiar

Chapter 1 is now live on AO3

It's got Lars and Connie, both pink, both stuck taking the slow path back from the past. But, surprise!! They're Not Doing Well. And it comes to a head sometime during the Iron Age.

And so Things Occur?

Expect:

💔 immortal angst

🌙 existential stuff

🗺️ sad magic duo travelogue vibes

😶‍🌫️ heavy feelings, light banter

🌫️ liminal space cryptid feelings

And Lars and Connie actually finding some measure of Purpose for a time.

Updates (hopefully) fortnightly.

Read it! Or don't. I'm not your mom.

[loveluckylost]

Chapter 2 is up!

In which one of them does something stupid and drags the other along for the ride. :D

[loveluckylost]

Chapter 3 is live

In which a couple of desperate immortals desperately try to distract themselves, desperately.

Antics ensue.

[loveluckylost]

Chapter 4: Super Normal Thing is live on AO3!

In which an introduction takes place. It should not be happening, but it is. How does it go? Extremely awkwardly for everyone except Rose, who is thrilled.

pleaase let my invoice get paid without me having to follow up

What I will always love about Over the Garden Wall, and what to me really makes it an autumn classic, is how the show presents the season as a transition. People like to say it’s a Halloween show, but it’s really an autumn show, autumn in all its faces.

Early in the show, we have autumn as the late, lingering summer. The fields are full, leaves cling to the branches. The world is painted in a greenish-gold, and it feels warm and rich and good.

And over the course of the show we lose that bit of summer. The colours bleach out. The mists come in. The harvest dances and music are done.

And by the end of the show, we get autumn as the harbinger of the coming season. Summer is long behind us. The long winter is ahead.

And I think it’s so appropriate that the show first premiered in November. When else are we more aware of how much the season has changed than when we are past smiling September and October and find ourselves with grey, patient November, watching the days get shorter and the nights grow longer.
