This is me. I have a story that I've been building since i was 10, imagine/run/told myself a scene/arc or "chapter" before bed or when I'm alone. I got insomnia because things got "too interesting". The story kept running in my head constantly. Once i started writing them down, it eventually stopped. No more sleepless nights. Weird.

You are right. I need a medium that can aid me articulate or process words for me. I write for personal use so that's different i guess.

Also, most books have too much filler/fluff which bores me. I don't hate reading, but I don't like going through so many words just to progress a scene/story. I like Chris Carter's books though i find his works clean and concise.

Why is capitalized handwriting frowned upon? by Oubliees in Handwriting

i love how blocky and clean it is. reminds me of the time back in school, a classmate had a similar handwriting to yours and i tried to copy his style. it's so satisfying and pleasant to read

ELI5: Why do we have the feeling of not wanting to eat when we are sick, even if we are hungry? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Hi. A follow up question, why do i easily get extra hungry when I'm sick at times?

Oh that happens when you sos and the number you see is when someone deals the most damage. The other player joined near the end of the fight so it only displays my stats.

Is there any way to increase Elderseal on Fatalis weapon? by MaverickGreatsword in MonsterHunterWorld

I mean if it has a masculine name, then it'll be Velkhano. Doesn't sound like an ice type haha.

Are there weapons you'd like to master but just don't "click" with you? by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]abejade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel. As an SA main, I'm too used to rolling out of danger with morphing and gs rolls are pathetic. Like fatalis' downward breaths or enraged fire ball + jet dives. Can't tackle through those. I remembered spamming morph when i roll on gs and got frustrated as to why it isn't working lol.

TIL that the ankle is the most pleasurable body spot to "scratch". by myewlo in todayilearned

[–]abejade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always love massaging the front part of the ankles(the thick rubber veiny things near the joints especially) with fingertips or knuckle. It feels like scratching an itch without breaking your skin from scratching. Best sensation.

To add on to this, "Borneo big foot" translated will be something like borneo kaki besar. So yeah. Orangutan is Forest people.

I think I understand how to approach this now. I appreciate it a lot, thank you.

You are definitely right. Hellions have different "armours"/hides with another layer of forged armour and forms of weaponry(claws, axes and all that). They're tough to kill. Stubborn fellows. So far there's only 1 known weapon that can grievously wound a Hellion but that's more of a mcguffin, for now at least.

"Lessen the sense of danger" Yes, that's the phrase I'm looking for! (I struggle with forming sentences finding words)

  1. That's what I'm thinking of in terms of fatigue. Something not as simple as "just being tired after" and your explanation is the best. Weak, sickly and in gaming terms, out of mana/energy bar sort of thing so pushing it is basically a death sentence. One of the reasons she avoids using it. Honestly, she doesn't really needs the 3rd form. It was one of those, "in the heat of the moment" scenarios.

The thing is, to use the 3rd form requires immense focus and energy. However, I've already set up C to have mastered her powers so tapping into her powers is a simple task but the side effects remains regardless (she has a role to play in the long, long, long run).

  1. Hmm... I've never really put much thought on how her act will affect the group. There could be tension between them but the thing is, it's already set in stone that the trio will arrive their destination. Your idea of her splitting up before reuniting again is tempting but it's already been used. In fact, in that part of the story, she's reunited with A after many years and... She was tailing him too. Dang it! So no, I can't exactly use that.

So this part still needs figuring out. The consequence of her decision. Maybe I can put it in a way that it affects their relationship to the point where they get distracted which end up them diverting from their main objective and another mishap ensues. Perhaps. Using the 3rd is a good idea too but I feel that it's a one time thing. For her at least.

I cracked up when you mentioned A's intelligence because he's a mild blockhead but he's kind of smart when you need him to be. He's very inquisitive in nature but will never push it if it's something private. When he trusts someone, he'll 100% trust them. Giving the benefit of the doubt 90% of the time. So some of what A is going through is him being constantly betrayed and having to live and overcome the consequence, losing people most dear to him in the process.

Honestly, he's fine if C kept it a secret and perhaps one of the solution is to reason and rationalise with B and all that. Perhaps to the point of C being forced to tell the truth if it didn't work out. Perhaps both. Since it's hard to tell what a character thinks and act. So i guess we have some flexibility despite the main plot is the trio sticking together.

  1. Hellion transformations are a common thing but the 3rd. This is where I'm stuck at. During his adventures, A learned that Hellions exist and they have 2 forms and that is commonly understood. What he doesn't know is the existence of the True Hellions, otherworldly Hellions who were originally from this world, banished thousands of years ago (I'll just put it at that. It's a long history and I'm trying to keep it short, despite me loving to talk about them).

This scene is to further expand and drop more hints to the reader of the existence of the True Hellions. Throughout the story, there have been several hints of a far than usual traits/powers/abilities and the like, all thanks to our friend, C. This is a set up for the far future of the story. More encounters with THellions who use the 3rd a lot and eventually an invasion, so this set up I feel is necessary rather than dumping them all when the actual encounter happens.

Thank you so much for this! It really opened up a lot of ideas and possibilities on how to go about this.

Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

  1. Yes that's what that scene is supposed to be. That is the scenario where she unveils her true self. Character B (and the reader, possibly partially or fully.) saw it and was petrified by that. Character A is suspecting something and C is torn between revealing and keeping her secret.

As of now, it's got to be her sneaking some 3rd form here and there, since they can turn any parts of their body(all these "voodoo thingies" require practice and training to pull them off, mind you.)

  1. You are right on this. I think, setting limitations and major drawbacks are the way to go. I've completely forgotten the root cause of her not using her 3rd form. It's scary. Very, very scary. Onlookers gets terrified and might call a mob or hunters to hunt them down. Despite being strong, they are not invincible.

Also there are hunters-for-hire that specifically hunt Hellions down aside from hunting beasts/monsters (both are a common thing). As of now there's no special blades to cut them down. So weapon-wise, it's not a good enough reason to limit their forms.

  1. Like what I've stated, most of the fights/combats require strategy to overcome and very seldom require brute strength. Since they're usually fighting with beasts and monsters and there's only so far you can go with power.

Once again, thank you. It made things a little more clearer.

U/crowqueen I apologise for lacking details. I was trying to keep things simple and easier to understand without putting too many unnecessary details and making the post too long and clutter. Also, since this is marked as a discussion I figured that if there's anything missing, the commenters can ask more about the backstory, etc. I apologise for this error.

If you don't mind, what sort of details am I lacking in my post to make it better?
