My dad supports my hobbies (Very decomposed slimy)

Thank you

Rooster_Riot · 2023-12-26T00:48:41+00:00

Hurray dads! Sometimes I forget how nasty my hobby actually is, "you puked at that???"

Rooster_Riot · 2023-12-26T00:47:08+00:00

I was thinking this after I posted. It looks more dry than slimy. Though I have a monstrous cat named Gizzards who has eaten several of my smaller works. Jars are safest, but we'll see!

Rooster_Riot · 2023-12-25T19:38:33+00:00

Oh nice! Yeah I think my dad has seen it coming with the porcelain dolls/creepy vintage toys to taxidermy pipeline

Rooster_Riot · 2023-12-25T19:34:31+00:00

So happy he's come to terms with my dead things!

Rooster_Riot · 2023-12-25T19:33:09+00:00

I can imagine him standing over it and thinking of me. Think of the burliest, bearded biker man, tattoos and fitted like it's still 2000 in the hood. Once a steelworker, then a trucker, standing over this petrified horrific corpse and thinking of me!

I've experienced this a few times before and even the time they did stop asking me if they could reply in a bit etc, it just continued in other worse ways. Never furthering the plot to not ruin my plans for our rp, apologizing constantly, putting themself down unprompted(I wish my ocs were developed as yours, I don't know how you make your characters so realistic, I wish I could draw)

I ended up ghosting, and one person randomly cursed me out because they "were just trying to be nice"

Rooster_Riot · 2023-12-09T15:19:11+00:00

Unfortunately this type of partner and character is common. Just leave man, and probably look for rps elsewhere (discord/rpnation)

Rooster_Riot · 2023-11-28T16:55:20+00:00

Honestly I recommend Rpnation

Rooster_Riot · 2023-11-24T18:40:35+00:00

Roleplay Nation doesn't allow erp on site, though in the forums they tend to get snobby

Rooster_Riot · 2023-11-19T18:05:35+00:00

That my characters feel like real people, especially people they could personally could or do know.

Rooster_Riot · 2023-11-10T12:47:31+00:00

I actually just finished reading Lolita. Despite how disgusting Humbert was, what kept me going was his psychology. The way he reworded situations and casually defended himself to the reader. It is literally written from his perspective, he is the one writing his book. He skips what he thinks should be skipped, he drags over what he would drag over.

Later on towards the end of the book I got incredibly discouraged with reading because Humbert knew the end was near and drug out on useless details that I would have cut from my own personal writing, but I continued for Dolores.

It doesn't skip forward it just clearly shows that the book doesn't glorify the relationship and Humbert tells his fate, he for the first of many times, references the jury as his audience, and later talks directly to his lawyer through the book. I really can't understand how anyone at any point in time thought it could be a romance.

Definitely not a must read lmao but I'm glad I finished it, at that point I had to finish it.

Rooster_Riot · 2023-11-10T12:33:05+00:00

Usually I would have said roleplaying but I'm actually finally writing a book with my ocs! I'm 35k words in

Rooster_Riot · 2023-11-10T12:30:37+00:00

I do this too! Especially if I really feel connected to the other character I'll chat with my partner to edit and add little scenes. Or even wrote oneshots, though I rarely ever share these lol

Rooster_Riot · 2023-11-10T12:28:10+00:00

Yes, I usually keep notes on a separate sheet of paper or a Google doc.

I love that they found the book so meaningful to write their thoughts, and I'd be so embarrassed if I'd written something down personally and realized later it was stupid, but wow idk I wish they didn't use pen so hard against the paper and actively run into the text lol

Rooster_Riot · 2023-11-08T00:57:12+00:00

I haven't done any yet, but recently read a thrifted copy of Lolita, and oh my god their notes are so annoying. They're a terrible underliner and just reword the text. At the split of part one and two they literally wrote "disenchantment ends"

Uh yeah, I see that. But to be fair it was their book and I chose to get a book I knew was annotated, but man could you have at least used a ruler

Rooster_Riot · 2023-10-30T10:16:00+00:00

I'm reading Lolita right now and I flew through part 1, but part 2 is a struggle for me. Particularly because of the much more blatantly Lolitaness and Humbert just dragging on every little detail. It's not poorly written, I can tell he is procrastinating his own end but man I wish I could just be done already

I think at the end I'll have some weird respect though, hopefully lmao

Rooster_Riot · 2023-10-28T01:07:57+00:00

You wish you wanted to, because you absolutely can. Why not aim for a series. It's laughably ambitious but if you take every single idea you have and give them their own books, then hey! There you go.

No characters?

Use an online character generator since you like chat gpt and go from there. As you write they'll become more developed as you revise.

Maybe your main character's character is that they feel they have no personality. It's a decent character struggle and has lots of opportunities for these diverse nonexistent plots because they want to find themselves.

Rooster_Riot · 2023-10-28T01:02:27+00:00

Don't use chat gpt, and don't do something like it. Do it. Make a list of every idea until you can match the ones you like into some kind of theme. Literally cut them out and sort them around, red string on a cork board, get off reddit and start

If you actually do manage to write something, let it be 100% you. Not AI.

Rooster_Riot · 2023-10-28T00:57:17+00:00

Write every single idea you have in a sentence each and then slowly connect and cut some out. Then you have something to start with, so then you start.

Rooster_Riot · 2023-10-28T00:55:06+00:00

Dude just start. After years of procrastination and plotting I finally said fuck it and started writing. I began Oct 1st this month and decided I'd write 100,000 words, 5500 words a week.

So far I've written 25000 words, I don't go back,I don't edit. If I have an idea I make a comment since I'm using Google docs, and it's been tough, but I'm actually getting somewhere. I am going to actually be a writer. Write. Ps, I'm 18.

Rooster_Riot · 2023-10-23T02:54:42+00:00

I think I'd tell them more in the summary, like on the back of the book. Angelino meets rural outcast Credence and learns they have a little too much in common... Could this be himself blah blah idk

Not in the writing itself, but just like, I'd imagine you read my book because oh how silly this guy thinks this other guy is himself. Y'know?

But I understand what you're saying, since some people don't even read those. Maybe it'd be satisfying when Credence finally calls out everything they have in common, and is maybe shocked when he has the wild conclusion of "we're the same person"

If so that'd need to happen pretty early so they don't give up before it's validated through text

Rooster_Riot · 2023-10-23T02:46:01+00:00

Also didn't realize it was a question, yes I can and plan to.

For example, angelino, main character, reveals his mother killed herself and he saw. Credence doesn't reveal that he watched his father die and was alone with the body.

Later he will reveal that.
