not to become an absolute caricature of myself by getting attached to an asshole bisexual with daddy issues (this time with feudalism!) but i really enjoy the kind of antagonist julien is turning out to be

like he’s not misunderstood, he really is an asshole no doubt about it. but it doesn’t feel like—he’s getting meta-nerfed for being unpleasant? he’s taken seriously as an antagonist and eventual party member because he exercises some level of skill/agency/weight within the setting, as more than a guy to cheer against

(and it’s such fun player-writing inspiration i am taking notes)

#i’ll be so real i bounced off of the other 3 campaigns #1) bc i was at least 50+ hours in the hole when i found them #and 2) i tend to prefer tighter pacing and worldbuilding #but this time? the allegory? the complex interpersonal history? THJAZI? sign me up #cr4 #critical role #julien davinos #i screamed when he caught thimble. like i’m so sorry girl you have been through so much and deserve better #but sometimes. it’s hilarious when sheer pettiness Works. thank you matt mercer #auden.txt

GUYS.

If you’re having trouble starting because you physically aren’t able to/can’t get yourself to get up and go to your computer or laptop…write on your phone.

Download whichever app you use, Google Docs or MS Word or Apple Pages or whatever, log into it, and WRITE THERE. It’ll still sync to your other device, you can make progress on your project, and you won’t even have to get up.

I know this probably sounds obvious, but it only just hit me within like…the last month or two. And it’s worked WONDERS.

WRITE ON YOUR PHONE.

hello world!

my name is auden, and this is my brand new sideblog for all things robit related! i’d love to make some new friends on this side of botblr, so here’s my general list of bot-related interests!

aibo (all makes and models, but especially ers-210′s and ers-1000′s !)

idogs

vector by anki

furbys

physical bot customization

software bot customization

video games

artwork

retro technologies in general

i’m not currently an owner of any robots as of yet, so this blog will mainly consist of reblogs and my thoughts on certain robots, but I do have some robots i’m hoping to get sometime soon (you can see my wishlist page for those!)

ok but unironically doodling around with the kind of piano practice that three year olds do at my big age is weirdly. soothing

my hands hurt and i’m too broke rn to actually get lessons again, but like. just chilling with my old books until i’m satisfied for the day… i look back at middle school me acting like i was getting marched in front of a firing squad every week lmao

i don’t even think i clocked most of the pieces as music, i was so scared of fucking up. and then i would be too bugged out to practice afterward and fuck up WORSE. funny how that works

#auden.txt #thirteen intervening years babeyyyyy #sometimes you gotta cry a lot a lot a lot and then just resolve to be okay with being bad at it. and then it’s actually Just Fine.#not gonna be competing any time soon but it’s nice to diversify the sources of irritation yk

all i REALLY want out to see from an arthurian adaptation is for the creative team to pick their source text and stick to it like glue (unless they can expand it into something even weirder). fuck “historical accuracy”: what does the text say? if it doesn’t say anything, that’s free real estate (e. g. rather less physical description than could be expected, outside of “beautiful” and “enormous” and “armoured.”) but what that particular text says, goes. the point is in gluing the odd bits together as we go.

turning out something closer to a translation than an adaptation, creatively, the requisite footnotes on faithfulness and rigour included. everything has always been reread through the lens of the current moment—arguably that’s the point—and it’ll still happen no matter how hard anyone tries! but it’s the work of the trying-not-to, the preservation of the weird little already-culturally-mediated artifact that strikes me. you’re in your chosen corner of 12th century brittany…. why? why that one? if you’re changing it, what does it do?

and on the production end, it would probably turn into something a little closer to a table read? an actual play even? i’m picking through the malory now and the way they convey emotion is—different? not less intense but, descriptively, sort of… scripty? like you have the skeletons of these characters, their archetypes, their sealed fates, but the minutiae of inflection (or lack thereof) is largely left unaddressed? how much of someone’s read is informed by the years of pop culture surrounding a given figure? how much of it is just “well this is how i would understand that”

+ lowkey i actually like the idea of being Constrained by modern tv conventions like seasons/episodes and arcs (bc god knows the sources were NOT)? extra pressure to think about what’s True.
