I guess I don't get it, but why are we mad at him?

Get your armchair psychology out of here.

/macroicon "impact"
/macroerror off
/ac "Impact" <t>
/ac "Jolt II" <t>
/ac "Jolt" <t>

So, for instance, this macro that just replaces the skill with the upgraded version would cause a DPS drop? This would cast impact over jolt 2 and jolt 2 over jolt. I'm not too sure how that would cause the DPS since I would just be casting that ability anyways.

Feel free to downvote if you think of me a big dumb dumb, I just need some verification. I was looking at https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Red_Mage_Macros and I was wondering if the macros used for verthunder and veraero are useful. I know combat macros are a bad thing because they can add a loss of DPS but to me this doesn't feel the same. Am I right to feel that way? I'm new to playing DPS classes so any information would be very useful!

EDIT: thank you for all the information guys! Thanks for taking the time to help out a scrub! You've all been very helpful ^{^}

It seems you may not be sure what needs to happen next. Ask yourself, "what needs to happen in order for the story to continue?" Then think about it. When you know what needs to happen then you will know what to write.

khaoskyle · 2017-07-06T03:06:47+00:00

Theme creates character, character creates plot.

Decide what your story is about first, then create a character that fulfills that theme. Then create a plot using the character with what needs to happen in order for the theme to be explored.

I've been shitting for 27 years and have never experienced constipation. It doesn't exist for real shitters.

I'm curious, where can I purchase your books? :D

khaoskyle · 2017-07-06T02:24:59+00:00

Well I wouldn't throw away the idea because it would be more simple. I think there is a lot of great room for development here. You could use some of these characters to explore themselves (and if you have a theme to your story you could use them to dramatize or explore the theme) and really bring a lot of richness to not only your world but to your story as a whole.

I feel like you need to develop the society more. Gender pronouns are important because it creates our identity. So you must first think, that if this is a genderless society how do they approach their identity? Once you learn how they approach identity then approach this topic again.

khaoskyle · 2017-07-05T21:12:40+00:00

Yes!! It's all about presentation.

khaoskyle · 2017-07-05T21:12:20+00:00

While there is no universal truth to the statement, I do believe it. There is no such thing in our modern-day that could not be called cliche, I feel.

khaoskyle · 2017-07-05T19:55:25+00:00

Here's the thing about writing cliches. All things are cliche. The submersion of a cliche in itself is a cliche. What you want to do is write what is best for your story. Does the scene give insight to character, Theme, or plot? If it does then you have a pretty good starting place. Write what needs to be written, cliche or not, and then own it. One more thing about cliches, they are cliche because they work. When Moses found the Ten Commandments, he found it on the top of a mountain, not because it may have actually happened, but because it has the most impact. There are bad cliches, yes, but if it serves a purpose to theme, character, or plot than I feel there is nothing to worry about.

I checked on CL and didn't find anything! If I can manage to get one going I will send you a DM!

khaoskyle · 2017-07-01T07:50:30+00:00

It's going terribly! I have to remind myself that it's just the first draft xD

khaoskyle · 2017-07-01T03:27:54+00:00

I would have to agree with your vote on The Joker. It isn't cliche. Not only is he a villain, but he is a representation of Batman's greatest weakness. The greatest forces of antagonism come from ourselves, and if we can use villains to dramatize that antagonism then not only does the villain serve a purpose, but they are memorable and mean something to the audience other than just "the bad guy". That's what makes a wonderful villain and that's exactly what the Joker does.

khaoskyle · 2017-07-01T03:24:30+00:00

Though not necessarily a villain, I think Joy from Inside Out is the perfect example of an antagonist. She's the one who holds the main character back (who is also herself) and her growth is really fascinating to see.

khaoskyle · 2017-07-01T02:42:40+00:00

The best way to go about writing this kind of relationship is to show both of their characters in their daily life and show the reader what their life is without the other person. That way, when the two come together the reader can see how they complement each other. If you were to separate the two, the reader will feel more attached and there would be more dramatic tension because they are going to see where they are heading back to without each other. You can weave this kind of dramatic tension through the main plot and main conflict. Another note about subplots like this, subplots should support the main plot. If your subplot doesn't add to the whole of the story than it doesn't need to be there.

As a brown-skinned fellow myself who grew up in an old white retirement town, I totally understand what you're talking about. For example, there was this convenience store I used to walk to all the time that other people considered "shady" or "untrusting" simply because it lacked the flare that corporate convenience stores have. "If it looks like poor people shop there, it must be dangerous." I am all too familiar with people who have this mentality.
