It’s exactly what I want lol

I love overly analytical videos deep diving into things that maybe weren’t meant to be taken so seriously. This was great, I’ll have to check out more of his stuff. Thanks for sharing :)

Yes japan! I’ll edit to add the link to the original site this is from

Ooo I’m glad I could introduce someone to the concept :) it’s one of those random things I’ve spent way too much time thinking about lol I find them so interesting

I thought it might be a window, but it was so dark I wasn’t sure. Still very liminal.

& i think maybe it might be creepier to someone who has been in those spaces before? Often people who find liminal spaces creepy it’s because they’re used to them in a different context than the photo. So usually the bathhouse would have people and it would probably be light outside, which isn’t the case here.

I dunno definely interesting lol

Not the person you asked, but I’m guessing it’s because it feels oddly empty and strange (notice how the back wall is a mirror that feels like a wrong and overly dark window, and the seats are odd). Essentially its a liminal space, which many people find unsettling.

Edited to add: plus the steam in the room causes the light to seem strange and overly diffuse

100% on everything except including sonic adventure 2 in your list. The chao garden was so great in that one i still go back and play it now and then. And the music to the intro stage is a straight up classic lol

Makes sense, I’ve found with bigger and more complex stories writing out a condensed outline of what I’ve already written can help click things into place. It helps me see the structure more since I tend to get lost in the details. Again best of luck, endings are so important and so challenging!

The line work on this is beautiful

I would call that a pretty productive month :) if that’s your slump I’m excited to hear about what all you can accomplish once you’re on a roll lol

Good luck with your submissions, hopefully you get some good news this month!

I’m glad the second campaign is going well and providing additional insight :)

That makes alot of sense. I also kind of discover endings as I go. Best of luck discovering the right ending, i know how hard it can be :)

Endings can be so tricky to get right. Any ideas on why this one has been eluding you? I know for me it can take a while before the story fully clicks and I know what I want the arc to be.

Yes! It is an interpritation/response to the stepford wives. Kind of extrapolated it to an extreme and definetly influenced by more modern concepts like virtual reality. Kind of asking what would happen if that tech/world continued to the present day.

I’ll definetly keep working on it. Knowing there’s someone who might give it a read definetly helps with the motivation/ inspiration :)

I’m back after missing last month. I was pretty overwhelmed with work and gutting my laundry room after I found a old leak (so much mold, yuck).

I have still been writing. Mostly notes and reviews of books I’ve read. I did get inspired after reading stepford wives to do kind of a modern interpretation of it. One thing that stuck out to me is how bored all the men were with their robot wives & how much they had isolated themselves out of their inability to engage with their families on a human level. I think there’s a deep sadness to the book that is often overlooked because of horror elements.

I wrote a short story about a future where most people are plugged into a sim & have robotic partners. The MC is a guy who wakes up one day to find he’s bored with having a partner and life he completely controls. It then follows him as he tried and fails to have a romance with a real woman, but learns the value of human relationships and a world that we cannot control.

I’ll see if I can get it typed up and edited to share, I think it’s a fun little thought experiment. Though it does get pretty dark in the middle.

Happy spring to everyone, i look forward to seeing what people have done :)

It’s totally understandable that real world job searching has been getting in the way of focusing on writing – we live in a capitalist society and need money to survive :(

I’m glad you’ve been able to still get some writing done & hope this spring brings you some luck on the job front :)

I like the pin too 💜

A well made hammock really will live forever. 30 years is so impressive!

I was pretty excited when she actually decided to get in it with me :) she gets antsy if I swing to much, but likes the view

It’s a great hammock, i got it used like 5 years ago and it’s still going strong :)
