« there was something about being up in Skyloft that made him feel completely at peace. Was it the lack of monsters? He couldn’t be sure. »

that bit in chihayafuru where oe is like “when i was younger i used to take offence at the idea of writing love poems in a competition. i was so immature. those poets were competing to see who could best move their audience with their words”

i suppose writing is especially hard when the thing you are writing is very unlike almost everything you have read

writing is hard

hmm that post has the order of history

why would you rubber duck ephemerally when you could rubber duck somewhere lasting and create documentation

internet is a weird place

there are so many writers out there who are good and clever but privileged enough that they never had to face consequences for their writing when they were younger, who are now popular enough with a big enough audience that no matter what they do they will be surrounded by fans

masto is going through one today huh

unfair that i still have to use the microwave when dragons can just cook things in their mouths

if you are going to share a small fragment of writing devoid of any context, the only merits i can judge it on are technical

so pick a technically skillful piece of writing

amazon keeps trying to sell me on their serial fiction service by sharing small quotes from the stories but friends the quotes are bad?? it’s not working

i play pokémon because i like raising cute creatures to be strong

the more gameplay there is for raising cute creatures to be strong, the more cumbersome things are for competitive players who just want to play with their desired teams

letting you farm experience candies with max raid battles or transfer egg moves by just putting two pokémon together in the nursery in SwSh is objectively good for competitive players but also takes all the fun out of gaining experience or pokémon breeding for me

those parts of the games went from challenges in their own right to just facilitatory mechanics in preparation for the challenge of battling
