  1. Hmm, I think I can see where you're coming from For me, it's kind of strange. Like, all of the typical stuff, like dates and the like, make me uncomfortable, but I'm not aroace and still feel sexual attraction. I think it's the framing of things of romantic that puts me off. Also maybe that I feel like I'm limiting my time or attention to one person. I love strongly, and that love goes towards a lot of people. Just, the idea of being in a relationship puts me off and honestly feels kind of like a shackle
  2. Ok, well My first real experience with my aromanticism (tho I didn't know it at the time) was in like early elementary school. When my friends were deciding/developing crushes, they obviously asked me who I liked. I didn't really like anyone, but I said I had a crush on this one kid that I thought was cool. Nothing real romance-y, just that I think I found him interesting and wanted to hang out/get to know him more. Kinda carries over into current, more mature life. I thought I liked one of my guy friends, but upon reflection, I think it's was just that, again, I think he's cool and I like being around him and I want to be better friends with him. Part of it also is, we don't get to see each other often and I want to be better friends with him cause we're very similar people and we get along easy. Also, when I got asked out recently, I said yes, and the entire week leading up to the date I was just in full on freak out mode. Not even my normal anxiety, like a full disgust/recoil reaction. The thought of being in a romantic relationship makes me full body cringe The emotional fulfillment most get from being in a romantic relationship, I get with my close friends. Going on dates or PDA and all the stereotypical romantic makes me extremely uncomfortable, and I would rather cuddle or go hang out with my friends
  3. Do you still want my experience? The depression/antisocial brain fog has faded a little bit and I'm open to sharing
  4. Hey all. Wanted to come on and give a quick update. I know I’ve had some people interested with some of my creative projects, and no matter what my brain says some are probably noticing my less active presence

    Full transparency, I’m not doing great right now. I’m stuck in an anxiety induced depressive spiral and I’m struggling to get out of it. I’ve come to realize that this has been going on for a while. On top of that, some mental dam broke last night, and I don’t know how to fix it. I know it’s been one day since that, but things don’t feel like they’re getting much better.

    But yeah, I’m tired mostly. Didn’t mean to vanish on everyone. If you missed me, I’m sorry.

    For anyone following any creative projects, I’m putting them on hiatus. I don’t have the mental bandwidth to actual do good creative work, and in all honesty, it feels like a chore right now

    So, good night lovelies. I don’t know how long this’ll last, but I’ll see y'all on some tomorrow

      Sameeeeee like there is nothing better

  8. Way to upset the established narrative
  9. Tis a very good prologue Intriguing and very well written Though, might I request a pronunciation guide? I was going off a very much incorrect instinct as to how names sound lol
  10. As weird as this sounds, i kinda forgot what it was like to be freshly creative

    Like, I've been locked into developing one of my worlds for so long that new ones didn't even occur to me

    Now I'm locked into developing a new magic system that I really really like and wish I started on earlier lol

      yeah

  11. Back in the stereotypical writer state of being where I've got a really cool opening/transition line but it needs a book to make sense

    (In relation to previous post about book concept/idea)

      I would advise starting with outlining the story rather than trying to write it and connect the few ideas you have that are interspersed across it.

      I gettt thatt but with dnd like I can tell u exactly how I want my campaign to end, but uh I haven’t the foggiest on how to get there

      I've been trying to start outlining today, but my brain hasn't been cooperating

      This just happens sometimes. I get the idea for a scene and how I want that to happen and I use that as motivation to actually start outlining/writing things in full

  12. Something similar in that the character initially set up to be the "savior" isn't the intended one There will be the belief that they are the hero, when in actuality they aren't. So, they won't be malicious
  13. Ah, I thought you were making a reference to something lol
  14. Yeah, that’s what I’d realistically do if I do write it, having the actual action/progression start after the switch Basically a giant fake out
  15. I want to start outlining it soon. I really like the idea and I want to see it come into existence It came to mind with two specific characters of mine, but now that I think fully on it I don’t know if they’d quite fit it properly I might take this as an opportunity to start building on another world
  16. I think it’d take away if other character povs were included before the switch I want it to be really shocking. The main idea is to give the impression that it’s a one character pov, and then switch to the support when what the readers assumed is the main character isn’t there anymore
  17. I want it to be pretty jarring I think I’d write it like the main gets seriously injured, and as the wound is inflicted the chapter ends and the pov switches It’d probably flow with the first part of the book gets the readers comfortable with what they assume to be the main character, and then they die and the side character takes over. Latter part would probably be the supporting character taking over and actually completing whatever the first main failed to do
  18. I had the writing thought of a book written in one character pov, but that “main character” dies towards the end

    The thing is, their final chapter ends before/as the readers see their death and instead the chapter pov switches to one of the “supporting characters” that were close to the main. The reader would have to discover the main’s death with the other characters

    I want to write this, but it kinda requires a whole book to work properly lol

      Bro

      That’s wild

      Great minds, right lol

  19. From what? genuinely lol
  20. I got bored and stared working again on a prologue concept I've had for a while I don't like the beginning that much lol, but I think some of the dialogues decent
  21. Closing lines of the Haunting of Hill House, my beloved

    I need to read the book in full

    (horror media discussion has gotten it back on my brain)

  22. Yeah, I know is supposed to get really good G out listened me, and she would rave to me about how insane is was getting I just need to find time to get back into it. I don't have a lot of mindless tasks to do right now, so I can't really lock into listening
  23. Yooooo Magnus Me and a friend had a phase where we listened basically everyday I think I got like 100 episodes in. I need to listen to it again I recommend watching the Haunting of Hill House It's source material it a book by the same name, by Shirley Jackson (I haven't, but want to read it) It's a really good show. Not overproduced horror at all I'm not a horror person, and I really enjoyed it for it's story. There are really good actual horror segments too, basically every episode if I remember right
