From Osohe Castle and on to the Death Desert, we resume the story of Mother 3! We’ll be starting at 8 Central!
I might be a tad late but i’ll be there!
Oh man, I dunno if I’ll be able to make it D: You guys all have fun, though!
Ugh I hate it when I can’t draw anything
And I was gonna draw the twins in sweaters, too ;__; Here’s hoping I can get to that before the fad completely blows over.
I swear I’ll draw the twins in oversized sweaters later
I feel so out of the loop
Um
UM
Thanks, Anon! : D

Thank you! : D
SENPAI HAS NOTICED YOU TODAY, SHY ANON

JUST GUESS
Oh boy.

I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM
Wow I feel like an asshole for that post I wrote yesterday and promptly deleted. Sorry for being a jerk, everybody!
…Anyway, let’s not stay up until 5 am like last…night? That was a bad idea. (Stupid internet with your fanfics and your hours of random content.) I can tell when I’ve been up far too late when I start riffing on the fanfic I’m reading even more than usual.
So, it’s been a while, and I owe everybody an explanation.
But first and foremost, before putting the rest of this under a spoiler tag, NO, I HAVE NOT ABANDONED SAB. Just getting that out of the way right now.
Explanation and information after the “Read More”:
DO IT, YOU’D LOVE IT.
It’s not that I don’t like the idea XD In fact, I think it’s all the better for how it ended up. I’ve just noticed that this is a thing that I do repeatedly : P
Man, this fic, though. I have this terrible habit of starting with generally innocent ideas and then somehow ending up with a heartrendingly tragic story by the time the plot’s outlined.
Curi, your attention to detail and the clever, organic manner that you write character interaction are talents I can only hope to do as well some day. Nona, not only is your art stunning and beautiful, but your fics are wonderful too. “Island” still gives me chills; it is seriously the best Tanetane Island fic I’ve read and among the best in the fandom. I would love to read that fic you outlined. Don’t doubt yourselves; you two have taught and inspired me more than you’ll ever know. :’)
So far all I know is that I’m really good at characterization, world building and setting…but I never like how I describe things. You’ll see my most recent example when I complete this fic for Ems.
Well, I’m looking forward to it~
Ugh, I have so many story ideas that my writing style (e.g. ultra-concise) just isn’t suited for XD Makes it a pain when I have to write longer pieces for classes - they want three thousand words when most of the time I can easily get to the point in one to two XP
I don’t even know what my writing style is. I just…do it now days haha. Though I do wish I knew what it was…
I guess the easiest way to figure that out is to look at your writing as if it wasn’t your own? Analyze it as if you were reading somebody else’s work and build a description of it from there. The only reason I know about the concise thing on my end is because I noticed I have to force myself to write exposition and purple prose even when it’s really important and necessary. X3
That feel when I finally expand and formally outline the first ever Mother 3 fanfic idea that I had right after I beat the game for the first time
And it involves the pulling of the final needle
And then I reread Kuruk’s fic and (beyond a few similarities that I can only put down…

Not that three thousand is a lot of words by any means, but it’s just as an example?

And then I reread Kuruk’s fic and (beyond a few similarities that I can only put down to collective subconscious because they’re mostly thematic) feel like I probably can’t pull off my idea with the same finesse and grandeur
Ah.
I’ll probably still write it anyway, though
T-thank you! :,D
nonakani replied to your chat: Excerpt from Saturday’s conversations…
To be fair, I’m also enjoying seeing all you guys on my dash~
I feel the same way whenever I see your art and posts on my dash! :3
Late :,D is :,D
So, JesuOtaku’s review of Madoka Magica was really really good? Not because she liked it (though she did), but because of her defining of “drama” and “tragedy” (“drama” actually being “comedy,” but being simplified as “drama” in this case for the sake of those who don’t know their Classical terms - and the fact that she defined the terms she decided to use in great detail is amazing yes good). She basically described exactly what I’ve been trying to say about story structure (and endings) for literally years, and which I’ve known exactly what I meant on the inside, but have been unable to put in to words. It was great.
Oh, it’s no problem! And YAY TIME TO PLUG MY FICS.
I only have a few Mother fics, admittedly, and only two are completed. I’m linking to AO3 because they’re the most recent versions, but my ff.net account is the under my usual username and these are on dA (though I need to update their warnings and stuff) as well:
Island - Duster + Tanetane = Darkfic. Not for the weak of heart!
The Pursuit - Six months after Fassad visits Tazmily, Abbey deals with existential angst while the entire village is in an uproar about the recent rash of lightning storms and dangerous Drago encounters. And then darkfic happens (I seem to have that problem). Also not for the weak of heart.
Hinawa Story - A multichapter fic I’m working on (available in all the usual places, including Starmen - I coundl’t post the other two fics there for obvious reasons), though only the first chapter is completed right now. Flint awakens to find Hinawa gone without a trace, and in trying to rescue her, he will do anything and go anywhere, even defying the logic that holds his world together. Surprisingly not darkfic, though it’s gonna be a crazy ride! …A slightly-dark-but-not-as-dark-as-the-other-two ride.
…And then there’s Impact but that’s obviously not Mother fic? I just like the strict 500-word chapter thing - it fits my writing style perfectly, since I tend to be so concise ( not that you can tell from SaB XD ) that I have to really struggle to write longer works.
No stop sob
CAN’T STOP ME
NEVER GONNA STOP

Wow I’m being excitable tonight
draw or write me clauslucas and ill give you a pop tart
SO I WAS TOLD YOU READ SuS this makes my task potentially easier.
That’s because EVERYBODY READS SUS
EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO DON’T READ SUS READ SUS
THIS IS BY NO MEANS A BAD THING
draw or write me clauslucas and ill give you a pop tart
It’s not clauslucas, but you inspired me.
Probably still Hinawa, I think? I mean, nobody’s personalities got switched around with their genders, and the loss of Hinawa’s specific personality, I think, is part of the reason that things in Mother 3 turned out the way they did.
(Not that nothing would have happened if Flint had died instead, but I doubt Hinawa would have gone on a rampage of any sort, which means she wouldn’t be in jail overnight and during the funeral and be unable to comfort the twins, and then she might have been able to dissuade Claus - or, in this case, Colette, from doing something stupid, etc.)
It looks like I’m going to play Mother 3! Wonder if I’ll kick out Boney for Flint, though… Also going to reboot my fanfic series.
Oooh, awesome! : D I’m really looking forward to it~
Also, I’m thinking that I’ll name Male Hinawa Tanega -shortened from Tanegashima, another name for a Japanese matchlock gun (you know, like Hinawajuu)
Either that or just leave the name as Hinawa? The name itself isn’t gendered like Lucas or Claus, and it’s so deeply associated with the character that it admittedly feels weird changing it. ( Haha, if that name doesn’t change, then does Flint just stay as Flint? XD )
Or maybe if Hinawa’s name does change Flint can be called Mique or something since it’s another gun term looselely related to flintlocks and stuff? XP Or Boyer just for the lulz
