Hi! I'm Para!

PAROXYSM (para) he/they/it/neos - prns card

I'm a Hungarian / British digital artist (live in Hungary for now!) who's studying coding! Also I am a system, and may occasionally use we/us or refer to my headmates; be not afraid, we are all equally autistic /silly

This is my blog for more general things - a majority reblogs of stuff I find neat!

Original posts and art over at @paroxysmdraws !!

What makes a story a story?

I have been mulling something over for a while and have decided to share. As part of my job, I read a lot of fiction that's still in development. After a while, you start to see the same errors, misunderstandings and shortcuts crop up repeatedly with different creators and it gets me thinking what is the most elegant way possible I could explain the issues to someone wanting to improve? The one that comes up the most often and is the hardest to explain is: "Why don't people care about my characters and/or story". It's always a thorny problem and I think I have a workable answer that applies in most cases: A story is a series of revelations regarding compounding, unintentional consequences to character decisions. The further you stray from this, the less people care. It translates to: 1) characters have to make decisions otherwise there is no drama 2) Those decisions have to matter otherwise there are no stakes 2) The consequences have to interact with one another. A affects or causes B affects or causes C etc. otherwise there is no progression 3) There must be some unintended consequences otherwise there is no conflict 4) The consequences have to be revealed (even at least implied) otherwise there is no conclusion This works at the micro scale in terms of dialogue: The specific word/tone/movement a character uses affects how another character reacts in an unexpected or interesting way which in turn causes another reaction and these layer onto one another until a decision is reached and a consequence implied thereby completing the scene. It also works at the macro scale in terms of plot: The decisions characters made in a scene prompts/affects the characters and context of the scene that follows (even if we don't know it at first) and by the end those layered interactions have been revealed to us and we see the unexpected or interesting result.

In my anecdotal experience, most times people don't care about a work of fiction is not because of a technical issue with the execution but because the writer has subtly misunderstood what makes a story a story. Their main character doesn't make any decisions, the decisions don't seem to matter, it feels disjointed because consequences aren't layering, there's no conflict because there are no misunderstandings etc. There countless technical aspects which affect the quality of a piece of fiction but most times when someone asks me to help them make people care about their story they first need to realise they have misunderstood what actually makes a story at a fundamental level and they need to recognise that before things can improve. I dunno if this helps anyone. I hope it does. Sorry if it doesn't. If anyone wants to use this to assess their own work let me know what you discover, I'm genuinely curious.

[jelloapocalypse]

hey guys, normally i try to keep drama off of my blog but this is really important. I just wanted to let you know that someone named WetWorkKing05 has been taking credit for MY kills over on redbloodle.com and is making money off of my hard work. When I messaged him directly he blocked me and threatened to kill ME >_> I’ve tried talking with the mods about getting his account taken down, but redbloodle has NO policy for this and they are no help at all. i don’t know what to do??

PLS signal boost if you can! And in the meantime, if you need somebody killed, do NOT hire WetWorkKing05! he is a THIEF!

so i think ive mentioned before how in my last relationship i was emotionally abused, but there are times where i will learn about another way to help identify abuse in relationships and immediately see how it was happening to me then and its really hard sometimes to grapple with how much really happened to you

[pixelprofligate]

to add a little to this, abuse is something thay can be very hard to notice when its happening. most people think of it as something loud and obvious and easy to see, but it often only gets to that point after years of being built up to, which makes it both harder to notice when youre in it, and easier to justify because youve been conditioned over time to be okay with that behavior. it often doesnt become abusive if youre not okay with some of the early behaviors or if theyre a bit more obvious. thats part of what makes it so hard to see when youre in it, its like youve had blinders put on you to help keep you from recognizing the problems.

all this to say shit just sucks sometimes i suppose

i wish more people were capable of understanding that a character’s race actually does impact things you can say about them and that’s a normal thing to take into consideration to avoid perpetuating racist stereotypes. and that if you jump on here headcanoning a black character as psychopathic and engaging in criminal behaviour when they have never canonically done so then maybe you ought to look inwardly instead of doubling down and insisting you basically forgot that the only black character of said family was black. now you look racist and stupid
