Hey everyone! It’s Emil. Thought I’d make a separate sports blog so I’m not flooding my main page (though not enough of you are giving Women’s basketball the attention it deserves… oh well, your loss)

[artystaroc]

I wanna show you all my son, whom I love..

[goldenageofwireless]

wait can u give me a quick rundown of ur ocs… so i can ask questions abt them 👀

yes ofc !!!! OK SO. My guy that im like hyperfixated on right now is Emil, he's a mad scientist guy and he SUCKS. basically he's just always been a pain in the ass since he was born and never really made an effort to be a better person. Also he's really fucking smart. He ends up getting really famous and wealthy cuz he invented something really cool (still hammering out deets on this, i like the idea of some kinda neural implant or advanced surveillance tech tho). He enjoys living in luxury but hates the constant attention, so one day he decides to abandon it all and isolate himself in his lab in rural Louisiana. He stays in isolation for like 5 or so years and gets soooo depressed. and keeps thinking gay thoughts about his former lab partner .... (i'll get to them in a bit) he just kinda ignores All That and keeps working. Until his lab partner shows up at his door and is like DUDE YOUR INVENTION CAUSED THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD. and then they go on a lil road trip together to stop the Big Bad and Emil learns to stop sucking so much and take accountability for his actions :3 also heres a doodle i did of him recently <3

[ID: a digital drawing of op's character, Emil, visible from the waist up. Emil is a fat, white man with messy orange hair. He is wearing a white, short-sleeved lab coat, black gloves, and a purple button-up shirt. The shirt is unbuttoned a bit, and his cleavage is visible. He has green goggles on his head, and he's wearing colored contact lenses. His left eye is green, and his right is purple. He's frowning and glancing to the right/end ID] so Sahir !! They were Emil's lab partner in grad school. They're a botanical psychologist (some shit i made up, they're researching the cognitive abilities of plants). They've always been the quiet, out of the way, people-pleaser type. Emil kept them around bc they just went along with whatever he did. ANYWAY they always kinda had a crush on Emil and even when he ditched them when he got famous, they didn't stop thinking of him </3 So when shit goes down bc of his big fuckup they go find him and basically don't leave him alone until he gets off his ass and fixes it. They're still not really comfortable with standing up to him, so they just keep letting him be a dick to them until they just. have enough and totally snap. and that's kinda the inciting incident that makes Emil realize how much of a dick he is and why thats Bad actually. So Sahir's whole personal journey is basically unlearning their people-pleaser mentality and gaining confidence in themself <3 SO theyre the only two that really have a solid storyline at this point, i have a few misc guys ill drop tho :) ok so first up there's Mal (short for Malpractice Lawsuit), she's basically liiiike if u took the concept of capitalistic greed and made it into a lesbian robot <3 shes evil and she sucks and shes sooo hot and i wanna write her into emil and sahir's storyline but im not sure how atm !! but perhaps i will figure it out eventually !! and theres Marvin, he's a lil guy robot and my fav oc :3 he's just small and silly and also a genius who does Epic Cool Hacking Stuff but hes also an 8 year old who eats dirt then theres Hugo and Vicki, theyre cool and gay :) Hugo is the most anxious man alive (also hes from boston) and Vicki is a demon who just decided that xey like him and they hang out. not much story there they just kiss each other a lot

so yah !!! thats my guys !!!

It is day 12 of sub-zero temps. My pitbull is upset about having to get dressed for her morning walk and throwing a pittie tantrum.

Same, girl.

I think a lot about the movie Forrest Gump. I realize it’s a flawed movie, and I feel really conflicted about that.

But Jenny Curran/Gump is really dear to my heart and I use her character as a litmus test for people in my life.

‘Got a Curse I Cannot Lift’ or ‘Curse’ for short, has been in my WIP since I began writing. It is my baby, something semi-biographical and a fix-it of sorts.

My pace has slowed steadily on this, to my personal dislike. Aside from my personal life facing chaos that exhausts me of writing to a quality I would like. I think that some of my slowing pace is due to difficulty in working my plot.

My plans for this have changed. I write it by the chapter, so with each installment, the overall trajectory has changed each time. Sometimes more than other times. And then you add in the non-linear timeline? Woof.

It’s a lot to keep straight.

So I think I need to take a break from adding more chapters to this, and go back to rework what I already have. (And fix my grammar mistakes I know yall politely overlook).

I do not plan to change much, there are just some plot points I might tweak to add in more consistency with later chapters. I may add in little details.

I will try to update anyone who has read this with my tweaks if they are of much importance.

Otherwise, thank you for reading and encouraging me to put in so much work and love into this project.

Soon, we will return back to the journey of Van Palmer
