oh, just google around. Plenty of authors have a blog post or two about the subject. Once you feel ready to deep dive, just read a book on the subject.

googled around, and i get overwhelmed with the various unrelated results and how densely packed some of the actual posts are, when they aren't preaching universality of hero's journey (debunked) or of enneagram (not into that kind of thing, personal preference) or just of general three acts (easily debunkable once we can actually get a definition down)

but more important than that, i should address the "starting fresh" part of the original post - it was made after about 6 months of going nowhere with an attempt to overhaul a creative idea for a story from a previous version, but i didn't know what i was trying to accomplish. now, in february 2023 (and some time before then, but i;m mentioning it now), i've gone back to those original 7 chapters, realized there wasn't that much wrong with it that i couldn't tailor to my needs/wants i was just feeling insecure. now i've progressed with those seven chapters (now 8 chapters) to a point where i'm content with the original vision that i had put aside before this post and now have gone back to, and i'm making progress with that.

which means i dont know what to do with this thread. maybe leave it be and when i've got a problem with the revitalized story, post about that in a new thread?? i don't know, just wanted to mention where i've gone with it since the OP and how the OP is kind of obsolete now. sorry if this was going somewhere, but if i keep moping about "what ifs" i will never be finished, and i want to have something i can share with others once it's time to publish.

im two months late but whatever 

also before people say "oh hes not in the code" basically the tldr is people discovered a graphics glitch in early MC which interpretation metamorphosized into the herobrine shit

I'm really sorry, I wish I could help you more than that, but it's been too long. I'm not sure where to start either. Especially with TNM who is usually more into character analysis, so you get the theory but in the context of the analysis of a specific dragon ball character and maybe that's not desirable (especially since it's been such a long while that he actually changed his type of content since I last check). In your stead, I'd just pick any video that seems interesting on HelloFutureMe's channel. They are usually self contained and thus, you can't really go in the wrong order.

Of course, you should definitely read up on the basics of character arc theory before delving deeper into the topic.

Do you know where I can find the lattermost? (the basics)

have you read character arc theory? Because it sounds like you haven't really researched how to make characters and you'd really benefit from it. There are many books covering your use case. Some youtubers like TotallyNotMark and HelloFutureMe have covered some of the theories that go into world building and character building, although I must warn you are almost guaranteed to want to throw away all your previous work and start again from scratch once you understand the mechanisms and techniques properly; at least, that's what I ended up doing.

An interesting thing you could do too is read up on philosophy like Spinosa and Nietzsche, which can be used to make various and interesting characters.

this sounds kind of interesting, could you give a list of their most important videos? i do watch LocalScriptMan because he's easy to understand and I have dabbled in Hello Future Me videos from time to time but I can never decide on where to start for those larget channels. LocalScriptMan won me over because he has like a 3 minute introductiory video pinned to his channel, do HFM or TotallyNotMark have anything like that? Or if not that, something of similar summary for these concepts?
 

EDIT: I should add that in terms of plotting the thing I've got a good deal of the beginning (quarter 1/4) down and I have some ideas for the climax (in quarter 4/4) but besides a sequence in q3/4 to lead into pre-climax q4/4 I don't have much idea of a middle. I have an idea that the primary "antagonist team" stops attacking the setting directly (a decoy conflict) around halfway in so there can be more focused on threats from the inside inticed by said attacks on the setting (the actual primary conflict) in q2/4. but other than that, I don't have a large clue what to do with middles, beside very hypothetically phrased advice. (i try to avoid super-vague or prescriptionist kinds of advice) any tips for that as well?

ok so i wanted to follow up Papalon and Round Up... with something that's still somewhat in the braindance/idm camp but was notably shorter. i also wanted to showcase one of my favorite artists in Boards of Canada but the thing is, most of their tracks are long and loop-based (like round up) and the ones that change up are mainly their under 3 minute interludes. there is one major exception in their released discog though and that is Oscar See Through Red Eye. i know five might still be a bit long but i hope it's an improvement from the last two

that's over 7 minutes long but fine

first, why do songs insist on being long yet have long stretches of basically nothing.

It's neat background noise would be cool in a game or show but on its own, kinda just there, after a while I instinctively tune it out if there's not much changing especially on things without lyrics

6.5/10 the end bit I liked more than the rest of it

thanks. in actuality when i saw this post i thought of another track by someone else. it's slightly longer in length, but is significantly more varied and changes up quite a bit quite often (at least until the cooldown starts at 6:35) with basically no loops up until then (that i notice anyway) so i thought you might not mind as much as with Round Up to the Inevitable End.

sorry if the embedding doesn't work right, it isn't always doing it on my end but it doesn't seem to be a problem with anyone else on NCM

apparently i havent figured the joke out yet but whatever heres one ive been wanting to post for a while

here for the music not for the man, plus the official version is published by travis scott (as telekinesis) so i think its safe to say west doesnt get money from this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zl3A9JdDk0

for context this is a fan enhancement/mashup/whatever of a leaked track that was cut from donda and later appeared in a heavily reworked form as "telekinesis" off travis scott's album utopia. i personally enjoy this version more and since its two steps removed from "telekinesis" i dont imagine kanye gets any money from me watching this video, but you might want to hear the utopia version too just to compare

also i keep posting the link but the video's not embedded in the posting box, not sure whats going on there...

look i'll listen to anything posted in this thread. i cannot say the same thing for my dms.

but i also reserve the right to not finish it or rate it

i will rate boards of canada remixed by slag boom van loon though. obviously good stuff to put on some dashcam footage

just a bit of a note - it's slag boom being remixed by BoC not the other way around.

anyway heres the "music to ____'s ears" shitpost video i talked about, but its length is a monster of its own. i dont actually expect you to finish it but i do want to know your thoughts on the fact that this exists

(this isn't supposed to be a prosletizing post btw, i just thought it was a good shitpost)

will we ever again in our lifetime see a triple-A game that prioritizes fun gameplay over being an interactive movie (and isn't from nintendo or valve)? possibly even incorporating the story into the gameplay like an Undertale or a Missile Command? or is indie the future of gaming (a la Pizza Tower, Rift Wizard 1, etc?)

(if you're wondering, i left out things like microtransactions and crunch because if there's one thing we can count on the suits to do, it'd be being stubborn)

ok so i'm not sure this is an own that requires an evil laugh, like, justice is one of my favorite electronic acts and the length is, like, i listen to forty-minute post-rock drones for fun sometimes -- seventeen and a half is nothing. †/10

ok funny thing is, just after posting planisphere i remembered this monster of a YT shitpost - well worthy of an opponent, i imagine, while also being a golden achievement of internet humor and all that. catch is, its not really music but the joke was going to be "tell me this isn't music to your ears" or some shit like that. in the end i decided not to post it because i didnt want to be a dick by possibly derailing the thread with something of hours-long length, so please let me ask now, is it ok if i post it here? or if not that can i DM it to you?

in the meantime heres some calmer stuff for me to offer until i know if it's okay

• No length limit

insert evil laughter

the original, for reference (loops once)

the remix i'm actually listening to

i honestly think this mashup works quite well, after this i can't help but feel the original sample in lucid dreams was a bit too angsty. only other thing i'd change if i was jarad was revise "i wont let you forget me" to "i hope you won't forget me" to something along those lines

this was pre-sellout ed and he doesnt sing in this so if you dont like it, i'm fine with that as long as you dont ad hominem me over it

ClascyJitto - Wudpecker (WayFer remix)

My thoughts (since I presume everyone active here can get the gist of the context of this album)

I see a lot of people debating this along the hip hop internet, partly in the fighting for ordering the tracks, but also whether this album is good at all or if Travis is gonna tank over it. Been seeing/hearing of haters who say things like "FE!N is the only good song/the best" or "there's no number 1 hits" like wtf?... the thing is Travis isn't exactly trying to make the next Astroworld (i mean just look at "Meltdown", regardless of how good you think it is, in terms of the song itself no way it's sicko mode 2) where every song can be a single.

Just look at "Telekinesis" which was basically given to him from when Kanye gave up on Future Sounds/Bounce (can't pin down which leak is the right one on YT) - he could have kept a lot of that material but I for one prefer the streamable mix, between Future's vulnerable deliver of his verses, and the laid back vibe of it until it explodes w/ SZA (as opposed to the more traditional buildup the kanye mix reportedly had going). Compare any tracks on Utopia to any other tracks on Utopia and the versatility of the production (because let's be honest, you listen to Travis for the vibes) shows it's not about making the next banger bonanza, he's more concerned with putting together a complete body of work (that is to say, more than the sum of its parts.)

As far as that goes I like the album the way it is. Some tracks I don't care for but I try not to tier them because that's not exactly the point. If I had to pick favorites though I'd choose "Hyaena" "My Eyes" and "Telekinesis" for personal listening pleasure. I also like that Travis is kind of standing out more on his verses, because with Astroworld it was like Travis as a rapper was largely one of the weaker parts of his own album, but here his presence is better executed - when I go to utopia, part of why I'm going is for Travis himself and what he brings to the table beyond production, and that's a nice change of pace from before.

Anyone else's thoughts on the album?

Post Corrected Update)

When I posted this post it was just me trying to bring to attention things that I was concerned about with the sister forum YCM - basically copy+pasting with a few edits, and the YCM post in turn was written shortly before leaving the screen for the day. As Yui illustrated below here, I posted ignorantly - I had no clue that Tormented was the owner of the site and that he's UK based (which defeats the whole point of my post here), I hadn't considered NCM's internet footprint even in relation to YCM, and how the law apparently would not affect people who aren't doing anything shady (which as far as I know, nobody is, or at least I would hope nobody is.) Yui's post in general is much more thought out than my own, and while I do think I can plead ignorance for not knowing the context of NCM properly, I also take responsibility for the bad posting. My apologies to Tormented and everyone else - I've no hard feelings and I hope this doesn't cause any more of them.

I don't back the original post any more for NCM so I deleted it but I kept the video for context sake.. I'm also requesting someone lock this so I can just put this behind me and keep on as usual.
