Why Blitz can not love Stolas | Helluva Boss

Why is it so realistic? Someone could say childish, reckless animation, all nonsense made for fun. Yet I see a sibling hate the other sibling, a husband who wants to leave his wife, and one beautiful and cute but hidden love. #helluvaboss #stolitz #blitz

Blitz is broken. We can see it in his room, where his face in every photo is covered. I’ve never seen such hatred, and I’ve seen a lot of feelings in fiction stories that tried to be realistic. This shows rules in a way that make thing believable. Why is it so realistic? Someone could say childish, reckless animation, all nonsense made for fun. Yet I see a sibling hate the other sibling, a…

What is more fun in the story? A goal or a journey?

It is a philosophical question, but it´s clear what to pay attention to. What interests spectators, readers more? Making is much easier if we know what to do. An author has a straight answer. #storytelling #memorability #fun #goalorjourney #goal #journey

It is a philosophical question, but it´s clear what to pay attention to. What interests spectators or readers more? Making is much easier if we know what to do. A story stands on one or another. We wait only for the finishing line in genres like drama, thriller, or detective stories. The climax explains the plot and what held us inside for so long. Everything leads to an end which makes the…

Vamp...vamp...vampire

Vampires are modern. Not sure how it happened. It is a mystical, bloody genre. If you did not know how to write it, it could quickly become an absurd waste of time. And there is a lot of them on the internet. #youngvampire #therapist #futureconflicts

Vampires are modern. Not sure how it happened. It is a mystical, bloody genre. If you did not know how to write it, it could quickly become an absurd waste of time. And there is a lot of them on the internet. I blame those romantic movies or series like Diaries or Twilight. Except for these romantic butterflies or the monstrous generation like Nosferatu or Dracula, I prefer the third. A man in…

Animals - put animals into ages or places

Give personalities to animals. Animals have limits as any other creature, but it is different. They can live in groups according to species, wings, claws, pointy ears, hoovers, paws, or long, short, leather, furry tails. #storytelling #futureconflicts

Sometimes I am bored by humans. So I give their personalities to animals. Animals have limits as any other creature, but it is different. They can live in groups according to species, wings, feathers, claws, pointy ears, hoovers or paws, long or short, and leather or furry tails. There is a lot more than I see in the mirror. Until now, I made three stories with not just animals. Each is in…

Fictive or real - imagination vs. geography

Should I get characters into places I know, or should I make my own? That is the question. I love making my own spaces, and I admire everyone patient and precise enough to describe real places. #literaturespaces #fictivespaces #realspaces #storytelling

Should I get characters into places I know, or should I make my own? That is the question.  I love making my own spaces, and I admire everyone patient and precise enough to describe real places.  Two extremes and a few intermediate stages:  You can describe real space as faithfully as possible and write about furniture, walls, and ceiling so readers would recognize the place the moment they…

Reasons and motives - a journey to the mind of our characters

Reasons and motives – a journey to the mind of our characters

Look at the thing on the shelf next to a book. Someone has to put it in there. The owner of the room left it there. If you look for a reason, it can help us get into their mind. Or was the thing stolen, left on the shelf for a decorative motive. Don´t you understand why we should care about these details? Let me explain. The persons would not bring a decoration if they did not care for visuals.…

About story without spoilers – God of War Ragnarok

It was a long and complicated road. None of my expectations came true, which is only good. It would be boring if happened the way I predicted. Even when it was much simpler. Not like Odin's speculative plans. #godofwarragnarok #godofwar #kratos

It was a long and complicated road. None of my expectations came true, which is only good. It would be boring if happened the way I predicted. Even when it was much simpler. Not like Odin’s speculative plans. Nothing takes too long. Excellent for the game. Atreus was not too long in Asgard, Kratos quickly did what he had to and got back, events moved, and the environment changed. This way, many…

About story with spoilers – God of War Ragnarok

We expected a mythological path. We expected the revealing of Loki and maybe Kratos´s death. Well, I expected this, but the reality was different. Sometimes in good, otherwise… #godofwarragnarok #kratos #godofwar #atreus #loki #odin #northernmythology

Beware! Spoilers! We expected a mythological path. We expected the revealing of Loki and maybe Kratos´s death. Well, I expected this, but the reality was different. Sometimes in good, otherwise… A sequel is easier to move through. We know where we are and what to await. We know the rules. The biggest expectation was Thor and Odin. Who could get the main god of the pantheon is the fool to…

Inspired but new

I love unexpected #stories. Unexpected as I watch a #movie and like a #plot or character. So I make my own. Theoretically, it is not the #story I was watching since I created different aspects and worlds. It is #stealing, but everyone calls it #inspired.

I love unexpected stories. Unexpected as I watch a movie and like a plot or character. So I make my own. Theoretically, it is not the story I was watching since I created different aspects and worlds. But I had written about it some time ago. Now I want to talk about specific cases I “stole”. Home is one cute animated movie I fell in love with a few years ago. Not everything I love and take is…

The first sitting and sources #1

The #Witness project, a rework of #history into the #story, took a different direction than anyone should think. It sounds easy to some, complicated to others. In the end, it is something else. It is fun. #historicalstory #study #sources #firstsitting

The Witness project, a rework of history into the story, took a different direction than anyone should think. It sounds easy to some, complicated to others. In the end, it is something else. It is fun. If the story is from the place, like in this case, from history, a source is needed. I need to study what should happen and then process it. It is a boring part of the work, but necessary. Making…

How to make a sad situation sadder - God of War Ragnarok

Some would say it was excellent acting, but I rather talk about words and their effects. What became of him made the situation a few times worse. #Godofwarragnarok #Sindri #Atreus #Brok #ragnarok #godofwar

Beware! Spoilers! Some would say it was excellent acting, but I rather talk about words and their effects. What became of Sindri made the situation a few times worse. We expected losses. But when it comes and hits a different person than the main one, it is a tragedy. What made it worse was a reaction. Broks death hit everybody and let out the worst from one especially. It always hurts when…

Make a requisite, and it will come

The advice "make a requisite, and it will come" sounds like it is for handy hands. Does not matter how skillful you are. It is a way to sink into the dept and get thoughts to move around a subject you draw or make. #requisite #making #thinking #design

The advice “make a requisite, and it will come” sounds like it is for handy hands. Does not matter how skillful you are. It is a way to sink into the dept and get thoughts to move around a subject you draw or make. A one-way ticket to the event you want to think about and think of something new. Well, unless you have a head full of your duties. No thinking about what you need to buy, or when…

Ray #2 Atmosphere

By #atmosphere, I mean the country. Surrounding and what creates it. Angles dull and sharp, colors warn and cold, pale and colorful, heights, and adaptation of civilians. Since it is insects, I can give them wings, feelers, strong legs for jumping... #Ray

By atmosphere, I mean the country. Surrounding and what creates it. Angles dull and sharp, colors warn and cold, pale and colorful, heights, and adaptation of civilians. Since it is insects, I can give them wings, feelers, strong legs for jumping, teethers, or spider limbs for climbing. Every part is different. A water place like a lake is full of dull corners. It is a long empty space with a…

Dragons - how to make two common characters interesting

I have two knights in the world from the medieval age. Quite a common picture, isn´t it? So, what can I do to divide them from any other knight´s story? #stortelling #dragons #twoknights #fantasy

I have two knights in the world from the medieval age. Quite a common picture, isn´t it? So, what can I do to divide them from any other knight´s story? Domination characteristic is a good step forward. Men could react similarly, but one feature is enough. I took from the other side and made them two sides of the same coin. If one is calm and focused, the other is temperament and wild. It´s a…

Wait for the twist - Ruiner

#Ruiner is a game with an unconventional character like the developer, #DevolverDigital. You were hacked to kill a boss of a place called HEAVEN. It was clear the twist was near what changed the whole angle of view. #cyberpunk #shooter

The story is simple. You were hacked to kill a boss of a place called HEAVEN and spent the rest of the game looking for your brother after you woke up from it and got your small revenge. It was clear the twist was near what changed the whole angle of view. Ruiner is a game with an unconventional character like the developer, Devolver Digital. Personally, this was not for me, but for players that…

It´s a parody, but they forget to write it down - See how they run

Everything I wrote here sounds like a bad #detective, but only until you see it as a #parody. Makers should write it to the genres and warn every fan of #AgathaChristie. Otherwise, the movie looks like a bad joke. #Seehowtheyrun #comedy #detectivestory

SEE HOW THEY RUN appeared in cinemas like a detective story. In the background of the play The Mousetrap, a film director is killed. Right away, an old inspector is called to the scene with an inexperienced constable to tangle the plot even more. Everything I wrote here sounds like a bad detective, but only until you see it as a parody. Then everything fits, and you are welcome to laugh at the…

Smooth progress vs. jumps

I imagined what it is to #connectscenes and not just get them together like a puzzle when I worked on my third book. We are not working for a film to cut scenes. Yet, neither logic can connect #independentevents with only the main character in common.

We are not working for a film to cut scenes for a change in time and space. Yet, neither logic can connect independent events with only one common thing – the main character. I imagined what it is to connect scenes and not just get them together like a puzzle when I worked on my third book. The first time I wanted events to blend in, to be smooth without a jump, and when I needed to jump,…
