Fun fact: I made this whole chapter in one day. I was really struggling with making a script I liked for this one. I have very defined plans for Salmonpaw’s arc here, but the timing felt off, and I was struggling to figure out how to fix it. And then I remembered the power of perspective shifts. It creates the illusion of time passing faster than it actually is for the characters, which is exactly what this arc needed. Plus, I like writing Goldy a lot. I’m always happy to go on a little excursion for more him time. Goldy’s whole arc that starts here would’ve happened eventually anyway, I just shifted it to begin a little sooner. And I think the pacing is a lot better for it. Unrelated Meadow yap time, if anyone’s interested: I started working on my historical Europe novel again. Began it last year, but it was kinda a failure. My writing style for books can be a bit pretentious (shocking, considering I make my comic characters use slang and throw pinecones at each other), and that made the book feel boring to write and to read, especially with the protagonist as she is. But inspired by some reading I’ve done recently, I decided to write it with as unserious of a tone as possible, and oh my cod it’s turning out so good. It’s a blast to write, and super fun to reread. The protagonist is such a hater, and this tone highlights that perfectly. She’s honestly hilarious to me. She thinks she’s so cool and edgy. But in reality she’s just depressed and lacks some key survival instincts. Her whole character arc is learning how to be a girls girl. And in doing so, she gets way cooler. Almost like ruthlessness and willingness to self sacrifice aren’t the key components of being a girlboss. Maybe it’s more about compassion and teamwork and well calculated political sabotage <3 This story will never be shared on social medias, since I want to try to get this thing published, if I ever do finish it. Probably won’t succeed at publishing, since practically no one gets their first ever novel published, but at least it will be a good learning experience, and there’s always a chance! Being free from testing has inspired such a creative flow out of me lol. I created some new characters, including a catgirl oh wait that’s a werewolf. But like werewolf with the personality of a stereotypical anime girl. Giant wolf thing full of joy and whimsy. Idk, I think she’s silly. In a different story, I also started brainstorming some superhero concepts. Both this story and the previous one are plays on common story tropes, taking common concepts and twisting them in a new way, usually one more focused on realistic characters and development. And fixing the things I don’t like about said tropes. Idk, I just love creating. It’s so much fun. And it’s pretty cool that so many of y’all’s like my stories. Inspires me to keep trying weird stuff like this. If I ever do get published, know that it’s thanks to all of you :) (Except for that one person advertising. Stop that. I will report it. That’s not a threat, it’s a fact.)
