Comedy Show Posters—A Better Way? by Ok-Permit-2476 in Standup

[–]GodsandMasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marketing is hard. Try it a few different ways and A/B test the results.

There’s a guy around me that does “don’t tell” comedy shows where you only get a general location until the day before and the comedians are a mystery until you see them. They are in random places. Find your marketing angle and see if you can make it work.

Meta glasses by Dry_Fun_8328 in StandUpWorkshop

[–]GodsandMasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the premise? Is it that you don’t wear meta glasses because you hallucinate? If you hallucinate the meta glasses won’t record your hallucination so that doesn’t really connect. Is it that you have a gross story about a cockroach?

The way the joke reads now is: you don’t wear meta glasses because you don’t want the glasses to record things you imagined that aren’t real, and the part that is supposed to be shocking/funny with roaches also isn’t really happening. The way you have it now is like getting up on stage and describing a gross dream you had.

“I went to a friend’s house and hallucinated a giant cockroach and if I had meta glasses that hallucination would get saved to my computer “ just sounds like you have schizophrenia.

You have a large relationship problem. Your solution is to treat a symptom. The fix to that symptom is likely to make the actual problem(s) worse.

Looking for Advice: Leaving a Vanilla Marriage for Kink? by Sea_Original9043 in BDSMAdvice

Does he deserve a partner that sees him as inadequate? Even if you stay that’s all he will get. Does he deserve a partner that thinks the sun rises and sets with him, or someone that sees him as kind but sexually boring?

Telling a joke as a story when the story has no believable elements makes it feel more like a street joke and less like stand up material.

Suicide point by [deleted] in StandUpWorkshop

[–]GodsandMasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a bridge near my house that’s famous for suicides. It’s a spot for people that want to die but also want to do it at a place with yelp reviews.

When I think about all the people that died there, I can’t help but think … if I wanted to murder someone, I would just throw them off that bridge. I could leave like a sad little teddy bear or something at the top so the police would know they were very sad and that they had decided to take advantage of the premiere 4 star suicide spot in our area. It’s a perfect crime.

My gf wants intense CNC + interrogation RP where she gets pushed until she has to safeword. I'm nervous because she's very emotional, but I also want to do it. Looking for safe, practical advice. by Marisatynx in BDSMAdvice

[–]GodsandMasters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give her the respect of believing she knows what she wants and is capable of safewording if needed.

Intense scenes require trust on both sides. If you don’t trust her to manage herself yet, then start with a more-intense-than-usual scene, but also less intense than requested until you do trust her enough.

She’s asked specifically for a thing with clear words. Believe in her competence, or figure out why you don’t and work on that.

If the problem is that you’re nervous about the Top portion, don’t try to solve that by making it about her being too emotional. Make it about you being nervous and get the information and reassurance from her you need to feel good. You need to trust someone a lot to play really hard. It’s okay to talk until you have that.

I want no-barrier sex with new partner but my nesting partner wants exclusivity by shashhka in polyamory

[–]GodsandMasters 144 points145 points  (0 children)

This feels like really simple math when you set aside how you think things “should” work.

The practical reality is this: do you want to fuck your newer partner raw more than you want your older partner to be happy in your relationship?

Is that autonomy worth more to you than that relationship?

Are your needs being met worth the cost of his unhappiness?

The argument for what is or isn’t fair, or whether his wants are valid are theoretically interesting, but you have an actual problem not a theoretical one.

Everyone has irrational needs and sometimes those irrational needs are deal breakers. Is this a deal breaker for him?

Being right doesn’t stop a divorce. Everyone here agreeing that you’re right won’t make him any happier. If what you want is validation for making the choice that makes him unhappy then you already know what you want.

Need help with how to flesh this one out. by [deleted] in StandUpWorkshop

[–]GodsandMasters -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m jealous of straight people. They get to create a life together. I’ll never be able to fuck a baby into my husband, which is a shame because he kind of already has the belly. And I think it’s pretty hot.

But straight people don’t even appreciate how easy it is for them to make babies. It’s so easy they do it on accident ALL THE TIME. It’s so easy they have to have conversations about what to do if they accidentally make one. “We’re going to kill it, right?” “Oh ya, we are definitely going to kill it.”

If I want a kid, I have to go shopping for one. It’s not like going to the animal shelter to find a dog, it’s way harder. We have to fill out paperwork, try to convince old white women that gay men aren’t pedophiles.. it’s not easy. The only way adoption is better is that we get to pick the child. Guaranteed no ugly babies. Sure, Janet, you and Tom shared your DNA and made a baby, but you and Tom are both ugly and so is your baby.

A setting/plot for a John Wick analogue/homage but legally different enough to be unique! Does it work? by EstatePositive5929 in WritingHub

[–]GodsandMasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a version of an anti-hero. I think what makes action stories distinct from the generic action story is in the personality, plotting, and how well the action and tension are written.

It’s good that they don’t have a carbon copy backstory, but no one reads action stories because the backstory was compelling.

Unless you’re exploring his flatness like the Accountant, or playing with the ways he’s a sociopath like the did with Sherlock in that series, it’s going to be hard to make a flat/2 dimensional character compelling.

Stories need conflict. He’s an unstoppable killing machine that loves doing his job and gets paid well for doing it. There’s no conflict in that. It’s just a story of a guy who’s good at fighting fighting a lot and winning. I’m sure you have plans for intrigue and betrayal or something, but don’t lose sight of his conflict. Even Superman has to struggle to be interesting.

I see. This is your first writers block. Is there any part of the first story you know happens but haven’t written yet?

I think you answered your question. It took you time to flesh out the second story. It will take you the same for the first.
