Struggling Writers’ Daily Den: rant, share, complain, ask, daily progress thing (Part 2)

Damn. What do I do with FotDT now? I have a massive lore document ready, and I actually added the ending of that in my main book.

But that second idea also sounds nice.

I hate glitter, but I’ll happily be a glitter ally.

Oh wow.
I’m also mostly aromantic, I think. And I have a very small subset of people whom I like, so it’s likely I’ll never find the correct person. Actually, I don’t feel romance because I don’t feel emotions at all (or at least very rarely).

Bad news for Avatar fans with a stick up their butt.

Which kind of Avatar? Because now I think the blue people kind got more popular.

Speaking of which, I also have an issue with the word itself. Because in Hinduism/Buddhism, reincarnation happens all the time with everyone, not just one special person. Avatar specifically means an incarnation of something, like ‘Avatar of Vishnu’ as in Vishnu himself taking the form of a human to interact with the world.

At least the blue people avatar actually does deliver on some of this. The Na’vi body is Jake’s avatar.

Nah man, people aren’t selling bootleg copies of the leaked movie of ATLA that Paramount+ wasn’t going to show in theaters.

Avatar: The World Warrior also gives me an excuse to school the creators on how nondualism actually functions. Too many people saw Star Wars and got the wrong idea about “balance” and “nonattatchment”.

Why the hate? It’s a fantastic way to make someone you hate very miserable for WEEKS :eyes:

Hmmm… do tell me more :eyes:

Haha you’re missing out blows rasperry

Jkjk. I mean whatever works for you :joy: besides, I think you dodged a bit of a bullet with that one… women are confusing. And that’s coming from someone who’s afab :sob: :rofl:

Women are confusing because they have a hard time being honest with themselves about how they actually feel.

Wait, is that no or yes? Like, is Na’vi Avatar more famous or ATLA?

Okay, now I’m interested in how exactly it’s portrayed in that, because I’ve seen the same thing in other places IRL too. Like just because desire is the root of all suffering doesn’t mean desire is bad, just that it’s something we should be aware of.

And same with dharma and adharma in Hinduism, but that’s another elephant.

:sob: why is this so true.

Also I’ve realized that I’m SUCH a man when it comes to shopping.

Me and my gf the other day were gonna hang out in the city and shop but from the beginning I was like “huh? Why do we wanna shop, we don’t need anything!”

Meanwhile she’s just flouncing around looking at pretty dresses and slowly filling up the shooing basket (that I’M holding btw) with skincare and ~glittery body mist~

:person_facepalming: :joy: it’s adorable but still amazes me

New ATLA movie got leaked online and now people are selling bootleg DVDs on Ebay.

I’ve been attacked by it. It should be a war crime.

I don’t know how to express this, but I rarely feel strong emotions. No anger, no hatred, no excitement (okay, maybe excitement but less of it).

So that’s why I write stoic characters who have an emotional partner who must translate other people’s emotions to them.

I know women are confusing, I have a mother.

And it’s not like I wouldn’t date if I had the chance to, but my specification is very specific.

Oh. I’ve heard about that, ignored that because I thought it wasn’t anything of much consequence.

Actually, I think the blue people Avatar also had the same treatment, at least here it does. But I forgot to check how many seeders it had when it released.

Hmmm… my psychology special interest has been activated :eyes:

Hmmmm. I tried to make my characters stoic. Didn’t rly work lmao

It’s more devestating if it happens in its country of origin. The person who leaked it got fired and potentially blacklisted from a major media corporation.

Worse yet is the absolute disrespect of the fans during the whole thing!

The DBS Broly movie got leaked on Pornhub but it still made money.

What the hell is wrong with these ATLA fans?

Oh, what’s that? Never heard of it lmao

Yes, my water must have water in it. Hmmm. I agree, that’s a very special request. :thinking:

No writing today, just chilling at home.

Ah, I see. My main characters are generally stoic, and I used myself as a basis. This is what they look like:

  • They rarely blink, and are generally very still and extremely stiff, almost like a statue.
  • They have minimal facial expressions.
  • Deadpan humour delivered without a grin or smile or anything.

For instance:

“I’ll stab you!” Lady Valyuk screamed, brandishing the blade.
“You won’t,” Lorian answered plainly.
Lady Valyuk’s eyes glowed palely, “you think I won’t? I’ll-”
“No, I mean, that’s a butter knife. That won’t do much,” Lorian reached for the steak knife, her voice still flat, “you should threaten me with this. This’ll look more convincing.”

That’s like a dad but female. I know they’re rare. Imagine the cruel stepmother from Cinderella but remove the step, and tone down the negativity by 60%.

Mm… sweet, sweet H2O.

I’d try dating once I’m in the EU, I’ll let you know how it went. I’ll write a blog about it.

“F the creators, I’m watching the leaked movie anyway” sort of thing.
