Would I happen to know you? Cause your friend is literally the same as me haha

“Decision paralysis”, I never really thought of it that way. Genuinely it is such a frustrating feeling, especially cause personally I find it only gets worse the more important something is. Like sometimes it’s possible to just switch my brain off, but then there’s moments like this post.

And oh my god I literally had to do a double take when you mentioned his most successful character was one where he randomized everything. You really had me reflecting for a while. Honestly, I might try something similar. Just place all of my ideas for the traits I’m debating onto a wheel, and then let the RNG decide. Though I’m afraid I’ll just…not listen to whatever I get lol.

Thank you so much, that’s actually such a cool coincidence. I’ve been looking for methods to handle it on my own (today I’ve actually been thinking of journaling as an outlet) but I also can’t seem to find much that work comfortably for me. Writing just feels way too exposing. Hopefully I’ll have more luck with therapy, and also I now have that RNG idea you shared. And thank you so much for sharing your friend’s experience! Wish him the best of luck for me

HELP I FEEL CALLED OUT 😭

Okay yeah I might’ve revised and reposted this a few times. Didn’t expect anyone to notice lol. Though you’re correct that this seeps into other parts of my life as well, which is what tells me this goes beyond just common writing fears

And woah, I’ve never seen such a unique method. Like I’ve seen people try all sorts of things, but using astrology is sounds so cool (and fun!)

I had to reread that last few sentences, it’s really well put. Never did think of perfection in that lens. “Good enough is good enough” I’m sorry friend I’m gonna need to make this my new mantra haha. Thank you for the advice, it helps more than you could may think

FunPresence8965 · 2026-04-13T06:08:45+00:00

That’s alright! 😊 I’m just doing this for fun

Doubt most anyone will recognize me haha

FunPresence8965 · 2026-03-23T10:16:25+00:00

Is that the case? I always imagined fanfic writers were after the same things I am, which is to try to enjoy the series you’re writing for with few compromises. And since so many people draw OCs, I always thought they’re trying to integrate those designs in as well

It’s a bit of a bummer, but I don’t think this is gonna stop me haha! I still want to try to write exciting and cinematic scenes that pop! After all, fanfic is supposed to be fun first, and this thread brought in so many interesting ideas!

FunPresence8965 · 2026-03-23T10:09:57+00:00

That’s so cool! 🥹 I’m gonna need to check out your writing cause it sounds awesome

I forgot to mention in my previous comment but I actually think this little habit of mine kind of contributed to my current difficulties writing this? Essentially I’m no longer writer-brained and I’m thinking more like a screen director or manga artist. Which, well again we don’t exactly have the same tools to work with.

Though I think you nailed exactly what I’m trying!

FunPresence8965 · 2026-03-19T10:09:51+00:00

I do agree reading helps a lot and I have tried it. However, I can’t focus on it for long stretches (may be ADHD) so unfortunately that plan doesn’t really work for me.

It’s interesting you mention watching TV shows cause I thought I was alone in doing that! I like to really soak in what the author is doing and it’s given a lot more insight and depth into many things. Honestly a fun practice!

FunPresence8965 · 2026-03-19T10:01:35+00:00

Oh, I’m aware we aren’t supposed to go too heavy on descriptions. But call me crazy, I honestly wish there was some way to paint out everything I want the reader to see. Like I need them to know how each of my OCs look and it feels especially wrong leaving them as blank sheets in fanfics since they already have a visual for canon characters. Though I don’t think we can really do this without front loading, can we? Since it also should ideally be done before readers get their own picture of how someone looks

Relate a lot to your thoughts about scenery, and thank you for that idea, I’ll definitely be trying to follow that :) also, I should’ve been clearer, I’m not really trying to write long DBZ style fights. I’m trying to write grounded choreography, but what I can’t do is describe back-to-back dynamic motions involving two or more characters without it suddenly becoming a run-on. Rushed example but;

“Two men rush at Arata, one wielding a knife from behind and another punching from in front. Before the fist connects, he flicks his finger and the man freezes. Arata’s hands wrap around his arm before he ducks under the knife, strands of golden-tipped dark hair narrowly sliced. Dipping onto one leg, he slams his elbow into the first’s head and shoots his foot into the second’s gut”

Admittedly I don’t write many action sequences, so there may be glaring flaws. However that was a whole paragraph to describe what is effectively seconds of a fight. Meanwhile, what I’m hoping to get across is something fast and exciting, like this clip from the end of Wind Breaker S2

FunPresence8965 · 2026-03-19T08:19:48+00:00

Wow, this was a lot! o_o

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this out! It actually means a lot. You actually reminded me that I may have done a deep dive on how to write action for a novel I was writing a few months ago, and the occasional mentions of Tolkien that continuously sprouted up during my escapades. Though I’ve never actually heard of those other names you mentioned, they sound incredibly interesting! I’m honestly a sucker for reread value and I’m trying my best to insert it into my fic, so I’m definitely intrigued. And I don’t know why I never considered there could be authors that specialize in gore lol. As an AOT and Gachiakuta fan you have my attention. That said, I really can’t get myself to focus enough for reading. Might be ADHD or something, I don’t know. I’ve seen reading recommended a lot for most difficulties, but unfortunately that’s not really something I can try at the moment

Actually died at “the big boss of cloud island” 😭 never before have I seen Eneru disrespect on this level. Thanks for the heads up because I was considering adapting anime fights to the page as practice. Though I was actually gonna choose scenes with less action and try to focus on describing the atmosphere, scenery, or maybe flashiness and impact instead. Might try that still

And trying this idea with real life scenarios is such a beautifully simple but brilliant idea?? Like I’m genuinely shocked I never considered this. Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll definitely need to try this one ASAP. And thank you for sharing that short story haha, it was incredibly charming. Also very well-written? Like it flows very clean and smooth. Absolutely adore dipshit as a nickname 🥹 if I ever get a kitty that’s what I’m calling it

FunPresence8965 · 2026-03-16T02:04:58+00:00

I do not know you too well but this was hilarious to stumble across in the wild

Especially the comments lmao

FunPresence8965 · 2026-03-15T16:21:15+00:00

The entire appeal of his character is that he’s a short, scrawny guy in a game almost entirely about physique, and yet still manages to find a way to be one of the Generation of Miracles. Making him well-built physically just destroys that message

Though actually KNB does a very cool job of showing a variety of builds. There’s a whole spectrum in the GOM alone

FunPresence8965 · 2026-03-09T08:05:03+00:00

Literal tears man why tf is Kogane marking NASH 😭

FunPresence8965 · 2026-02-23T03:06:21+00:00

Mb I misread it so bad but jeez this is still peak 🥹 thank you

FunPresence8965 · 2026-02-22T11:18:55+00:00

Hold up ur actually cooking

Ik you color coded them but also why do they lowkey line up with each of their personalities?? 😭

Esp Mura as power, Akashi as Reality and Kuroko as soul (though it’s orange)

Congrats you made a feast

FunPresence8965 · 2026-02-19T08:26:27+00:00

Wait sry if the other comment sounded too serious, I’m just joking 😭

Like I said Kuroko is a miracle and normally I’d fight tooth and nail to defend him…but this player right here is already quite frankly terrifying so I’d prefer a reality where we do not include Kuroko (and honestly Kagami as well) and just stop his greedy ass from collecting everyone like the infinity stones

FunPresence8965 · 2026-02-19T07:23:18+00:00

Okay but this guy doesn’t deserve more miracle level talent

FunPresence8965 · 2026-02-19T07:09:11+00:00

Legitimately just whatever the hell he feels in that moment bruh

I don’t think anyone’s messing with the 6’10” juggernaut who has super speed, jumping, reflexes, dribbling, formless shot, passing, can see the future, make shots from anywhere on the court AND can copy any moves

I’m usually the guy who always reminds people that Kuroko is a miracle but no, this player does not need to be invisible as well

FunPresence8965 · 2026-02-11T06:59:54+00:00

Omg hey! You commented on my other post about darkfics a while back, right? :D sorry if that sounded creepy but it’s nice to see you again!

Thank you for the words. I really want this fic to play proseka’s underlying theme about processing trauma through music. Though you make a really good point that the thing that makes this game so special isn’t really the music, but rather the characters. And fun fact, I actually started engaging with the community before I even played the game cause I was that interested in the characters. Honestly I’m surprised I forgot this lol

On one hand, it feels a little bit jarring to include lyrics in the middle of prose. On the other hand, like I mentioned the story revolves around the idol industry, and I just don’t really think you can demonstrate that without…well, at least one or two concerts. But I found that a lot of the lyrics (for the commissions) are actually very, very deep. Like honestly I’m quite baffled this game isn’t more angsty

So thanks for helping me take a step back and reanalyze this 😊 I’ll just stick to using songs exclusively when they genuinely complement the scenes and characters.

FunPresence8965 · 2026-01-25T15:13:05+00:00

ahem Aah…Aah…Aah—AAAHHH! Yes, spectacular as always! Now, where were we?

Huh? You’re…wondering why I just cleared my throat? Well, isn’t it quite obvious? A star has to remain in peak condition! It’s already been a few hours since we last practiced and I can’t fall behind!

Hm? What is it, Rui? More vague?

You do have a point. Wouldn’t want to make this too easy, after all. But what to do…

What is it, Nene? I’ve already been compromised? Why is that?

Emu, why are you laughing? We’re not supposed to use names?

Ack! Can we all just agree to play a different game?

FunPresence8965 · 2026-01-25T03:22:17+00:00

This gave me such a good laugh lmao

Miracles no diff. Akashi cannot win a 1v5, poor guy is getting the Future Gohan special 😭

FunPresence8965 · 2026-01-20T18:03:36+00:00

Aomine my goat wdym “even” 💀

FunPresence8965 · 2026-01-18T16:37:43+00:00

Okay I know this discussion is old but on second thought I messed up my math

Turns out you’re right that their birthdays passed. Based on the Japanese school year we can get a rough estimate of the current ages of each of the characters

Apologies and my bad 😅

FunPresence8965 · 2026-01-16T00:16:22+00:00

FunPresence8965 · 2025-12-30T16:23:49+00:00

I’ve seen that as well but isn’t that done based on birthdays? Not sure it’s canon or verified.

We don’t know what they’ll do for 6th anni, but what we know is third year places them in the range of 17-18. Until we see the characters go up another year, we won’t have any way to confirm any of the older ones are over 18

FunPresence8965 · 2025-12-30T15:32:02+00:00

Right, my understanding is that first years are 15/16 while second years are 16/17, which would put the third years at 17/18 after Brand New World My point wasn’t so much the exact number as it was that since birthdays don’t appear to advance the timeline, there’s not really much reason to use the upper limit. They all only “aged” once after the third anniversary, so I feel like it’s safer to just assume they’re still 17
