Sometimes I Just Sit And Laugh Remembering That Tara Had Beef With A 10 Year Old.

Hetalian Phase Starting Again

I’ve really gotten back into my Hetalian phase and I’m about to send myself into crippling debt by buying a shit ton of Hetalia stuff online. One of the things I’m buying is a mochi France plush. I bought 11 of them like 2 years ago and I never bought France. Sorry France.

Me realising I wrote 213,000 words and 45 chapters in my twd WIP just to get to the idea that started my entire story. (I'm no where near finished)

AU where Sarah and Duck live and after saving everyone from the Delta, James stayed with the group and showed them all how to live among herds. They use this to gather food in crowded areas like some stores. But one day Sarah finds a library but finds it packed with walkers. So Duck being Duck, goes inside and stuffs a duffel bag full of random books he comes along as he slowly makes his way through the library. Sarah anxiously awaits outside, worried that she’d just killed Duck. Is happy to see that Duck successfully made it out alive with no bites and the books. Basically a headcanon where Duck will risk his life to make people happy by getting them stuff. (Sarah with books, Mitch with some matches, Tenn with some art books and paint, ect) 

Doing research instead of writing? Boring Reading instead of writing? Lame Making moodboards for characters? Time consuming Making a playlist for your story? Too much effort.

Making memes that represent parts of your story? Always.

(basically I just finished a chapter of a story I've had so much fun writing and started making memes about different parts of the story)

Total Drama Rating Part 1

Getting back into my Total Drama arc because I love the show and decided I’m going to rate every character in the show because I can. These are based on their actions and impressions based on each season they were in. 

First, Total Drama Island. 

Beth,  5/10 “I personally didn’t really like Beth in the beginning, or atleast wasn’t too invested in her character. It wasn’t until later when she stood up to Heather and started to become her own person is when I started to enjoy her character. The way she got the boot was sad, cause they believed that she cursed the team and was chosen to be booted instead of using the opportunity to vote off Heather.” Gwen, 10/10 “I honestly have too admit that I believe Island is Gwen’s best season - not to say she was bad in the rest of the seasons, but Island was definitely her best. I really enjoyed her character throughout the season and definitely believed she deserved the win. Plus her getting revenge on Heather in the end was awesome.” Dj, 6/10 “I liked Dj in this season. He was one of the guys who were actively bullying Harold and wasn’t a huge cry baby (like later seasons). I noticed that he hardly had any lines in some episodes, if any at all, which is sad. His friendship with Geoff and bunny was really nice to watch.” Lindsay, 8/10 “I love Lindsay. Even though the episodes she was in before her elimination was basically just Heather walking all over her, she had her good moments. I love that she finally stood up to Heather, even though she got the boot in the end. That episode suuucked, she did not deserve to go home like that.” Izzy, 9/10 “I absolutely love Izzy in this season. She was nuts. Her relationship with Owen was super cute to watch and her friendship with Leshawna always made me laugh. Love that she was considered a fan favourite and returned to the island.”

Harold, 5/10 “Can’t say much about Harold. I can honestly not remember a lot about him in Island. I remember him being dragged about his briefs by Duncan and the guys. As a kid I was upset with him that he got Courtney (my favourite character at the time) booted, but now that I’m older, I’m mature enough to see that Duncan got what he deserved. Plus his beat boxing in the talent show was cool.”

Bridgette, 6/10 “I liked Bridgette, she was nice. Her relationship with Geoff was nice. Still don’t understand the choice to make Bridgette cheer for Owen in the end even though she was like besties with Gwen, made zero sense. Also the votes of elimination didn’t really make sense, but I also thought that she served her time on the island.” Cody, 4/10 “His fascination with Gwen was really weird to me as a kid, and even now, I still find it weird and creepy. TBH I can’t really remember anything about Cody besides his final episode where he got the shit beat out of him by a bear and when he helped Gwen with Trent, even though he had a crush on her, so that was nice.” Courtney, 10/10 “Loved Courtney in Island. This was her nice arc. She a lot less bitchy than she is in later seasons, but I still like her. I was so sad when she got booted out, cause I loved Duncney (now I’m indifferent) and they were just starting to become a thing.”

Duncan, 10/10 “Love Duncan. I love this season because Duncan really played into his stereotype (The Juvenile Delinquent). I loved his relationship with Courtney and his friendship with Owen. Too bad it kinda went down the crapper when he got booted cause of cinnamon rolls.” Eva, 4/10 “Was gonna rate her a 3, cause she got eliminated 2nd. But than I remembered that she literally walked into a box with the sasquatch and came out unscathed, wearing his fur as a hat and a pair of boots. So that was pretty sick. I like how they bought her back to cause drama, even though it didn’t make alot of sense, cause Eva wanted to get revenge on the team, even though there were other members of the former team still on the island. (Geoff, Dj)”

Ezekiel, 1/10 “Sexist.”

Geoff, 10/10 “I love Geoff in this season. I gotta say, it’s his best one. I choose not to acknowledge TRR, but I know he wins in that one so that’s cool. I like Gidgette, but I would’ve preferred the OG Gweoff. I really liked their episode together, even though he got booted. Kinda sad that he didn’t root for her to win in the end, but I know he’s the party guy and Owen promised a party.”

Heather, 10/10 “The Queen Bee. She ruled this season. She managed to manipulate her way into the top 3. Definitely got what she deserved though.”

Doing the rest soon, later, probably. :)

I’m re-watching TWDG final season, y’know, watching other lets players choices and reactions. In episode 1 where Louis, Violet, Aj and Clementine go to the train station to get the food from the floorboards, how does Abel get past Violet? Cause Violet waits outside whilst Aj and Clem get the food. 

The only logical idea I had was that Abel threatens Violet with his gun into letting him into the train station. But if you don’t attack Abel and let him take the food, Violet runs in and says they’re running out of time and that they need to leave but trails off when she sees Abel, meaning she did NOT see him before. 

It’s possible that some walkers got bored of watching Louis and wondered off and whilst Violet was dealing with them, Abel snuck past her. I don’t know.

Watching S10 EP4 of TWD and I love the small interaction between Eugene and Luke at like 33:10. They’re with a small group discussing about the whisperers and that Rachel had called for some backup. And Eugene normally references shit that no one actually knows or pays attention to his extended responses. So I absolutely loved Eugene’s reaction to Luke acknowledging his reference to the “illustrious cockroach family.”

Comparing my two TWD fics featuring Ben Paul as a main character

Basically, I've written 2 fanfictions that feature Ben Paul from twdg as the main protagonist. Both are 100k+ words and I only really consider one complete.

(None of these have been published btw)

Story 1 is about Ben surviving in TWD Game. He survives season 1 and becomes the guardian of Clementine & Duck. It was written in 2021 and has not been touched since. Currently, the last chapter is at the ski lodge cabin w/ Kenny in season 2.

Story 2 is about Ben surviving in TWD Show. He joins Rick going to Atlanta and joins the main group. Several characters fates have been changed. It was started in mid-2023 and I'm still currently writing it to this day. Seasons 1-5 have been written, season 6 has just begun.

Below are comparisons I've noticed while rereading story 1.

First person vs third person

Story 1 is written entirely in 1st person. Older me feels physically sick and confused with younger me because why? I cannot name a single one of my WIPs that are written in first person. Story 2 is written entirely in third-person omniscient, which I find a lot easier to read/write.

2. Ben is OOC for the most part

In both stories Ben is more capable as a survivour and is more confident in his abilities and expressing himself. Both stories show Ben learning how to fight walkers early on, however TWDG Ben is more nervous compared to my TWD Ben. TWD Ben is more confident and humorous compared to TWDG Ben.

3. Skipping scenes?

In story 1, I never skip any scenes from the game. Everything has been written exactly how it plays out in the game besides changing certain things like character fates and such. In story 2 however, I skip a lot of scenes because the scene either;

A. Doesn't have Ben in it nor does it make sense to write him into the scene.

OR

B. I did not feel like writing it so I skipped it entirely.

4. Ben's relationships with other survivours

In story 2, I flesh out a lot of the relationships with Ben and the other survivours. I put a lot more detail and effort into developing relationships, but in story 1, I hardly do that. I would say Ben is the closest with Doug in story 1, besides Clementine and Duck.

5. Quantity and Quality

Both stories currently have a word count of over 100k. Story 2 (TWD) has beaten story 1 (TWDG) in the word count, with 150k words. By comparing both of my stories, it's clear that I've put a lot more effort into story 2. There's a lot more detail dedicated to describing locations and characters compared to story 1.

I'm thinking of rewriting story 1 at some point, by putting more detail and changing it from first person to third-person omniscient.

Do you want more details of my stories?

The first time I played twdg season 1, I cried because I accidentally let Ben go.
