Wow it was a pain to fix the formatting on that post so that all the quotes were properly attributed, what the heck Tumblr
my mistake was letting the quotes live orz
Nah, it was because for some reason Tumblr wouldn’t let me just reblog the post without shortening it, so I went back and copypasta’d the fic links in, but then I wanted the rest of the commentary there too (and the link to your AO3 because hey) and then Tumblr was like NOPE.

And if I could have a moment of….vanity…..
Reblogging in full because GO READ ALL THE THINGS.
So, you guys all enjoying your Pokemans? I am essay.
…On a more coherent topic, remember when the Pokemon game manuals had all sorts of art and little snippets of worldbuilding in them? Now it’s all technical information and stuff like that.
(Then again, at least this is an…
Oh yeah! I remember reading through that. Really interesting stuff.
When I think about game manuals from my childhood, the first one I think of is actually the Gold/Silver manual - I just remember it’s “welcome to the world of Pokemon”-esque first page and how much wonder it incited in me, more than anything else.
I do remember Fire Red and Leaf Green preorders came with this really nifty Pokemon Trainer’s Manual thing - about the size of the game box, though obviously not as thick, but it was this surprisingly comprehensive guide to type matchups and characteristics and it talked about the gym leaders and other cool things, and it had lots of decent-sized art in it. It was pretty cool.
But yeah, the relationship between games and their manuals seems like it’s really changed - as more can be fit in a game (I mean with literal technological limitations, not in any imaginative sense), there’s far less, if any, vital need for worldbuilding and flavor text in manuals. Whether that’s a good or bad thing is, of course, entirely subjective.
That feel when the cleaned Mother 3 version of Leder’s Gymnopedie has better audio quality than the non-Mother 3 version of Gymnopedie #1 that’s sitting on my computer.
I’ve been listening to these all week and they’re just… it’s like listening to them for the first time all over again. I love hearing the little details you can’t hear over the fuzz.
Ah, that’s exactly how I was going to describe it XD It’s like going back in time and listening to some of these tracks for the very first time.

I’LL…
I don’t mean that there’s never worldbuilding in fanfics (hell, I spend tons of time building up the world in my fics, I love how it makes everything fit together and how it helps to fuse canon and headcanons without turning things in to a giant mess). I’m talking specifically in the context of an original work.
I just…I get so few original ideas (and even less original ideas that I really like), but they’re almost always concepts or just flashes of ideas, and then I just can’t seem to be able to put these ideas together in to a cohesive original world. Somehow, when I try to do so, they either end up fitting with a derivative work and becoming magical (semi-)AU ideas, or as I try to develop the original world I’m going for a certain feel and then it suddenly becomes far too close to a pre-established work to be called anything but a knock-off, anyway.
And then I am sad.

I’LL BE SATISFIED WHEN I CAN COME WITH SOMETHING ORIGINAL
And then I realized I will never come up with something original.

Come join me in the writer’s despair corner
There’s fanfics and chips with dip and stuff, maybe we’ll watch a movie
