I've only seen one episode of Dandy.
What did you like most about Bebop?

Met this chick, doesn't smoke, fine whatever. Doesn't drink, ok, yeah, not doing yourself any favours there but again whatever. Refuses to 'curse'. Right, that's fucking odd whatever way you frame it.

The fuck are you supposed to do for fun with a person like this? Fuck me.
Trick them into getting out of their comfort zone? That almost sounds rapey though :/
Have you asked them what they like doing for fun?

Studio Ghibli films
I forgot these in my previous response.
I love Ghibli films (generally, Tales of Earthsea is a thing after all).

Ghibli films are food for the best part of the soul.

I actually wanted to see that movie, but most of the reviews said it's one of the worst films put out by Studio Ghibli. What's your opinion of it?
Honestly, I didn't mind it that much. I watched it with a friend and we made dinner so that enhanced the experience. The animation was beautiful and it was refreshing seeing scenery a little out of the ordinary for Ghibli films. However, the characters were lackluster. I don't have strong impressions of any characters and the villain is far from intimidating or engaging. It's like a painting with an impressionist background contrasted against a cubist foreground.

Miyazaki's son directed the film and after his father saw it he told him to stop making films. I'm glad he didn't listen though, because he went on to make From Up on Poppy Hill (with his father as co-writer) and I really enjoyed that.
Miyazaki's a harsh critic of anime and I think that depreciates Earthsea's value as an animated film. Anything with a Ghibli moniker has an expectation of excellence, and since Earthsea wasn't it was penalized harshly, perhaps more than it deserves. If you like seeing other worlds it's not a bad choice, though something like Children Who Chase Lost voices has much similar appeal with better execution.

The Flood / Planning Methods (Writing)
« on: October 13, 2015, 02:05:44 PM »
How do you plan writing, writers?

I need a comprehensive plan to do anything, otherwise I'll spend hours making a few text lines and toying around with more and more abstract/nebulous concepts. I'll get nowhere.

So what do you start with first?
 I came up with my general planning process (from working on a book idea):
Themes -> Characters and World -> Plot -> Scenes

Without this approach I was always lost confusing myself with how I'd order story aspects.
Though it's better than before, the thematic process is the most difficult and important job of planning.
For the story I want to write I'll be making arguments, and to fit all the things I want to ultimately discuss I've decided personal essays are the best way to elucidate my ideas and adapt them to fit into the story.

Does anyone use different methods of planning?
Is my method convoluted where simplicity would suffice? If so, where?

"And I knew that it was better to live out one's own absurdity than to die for that of others"
-Invisible Man

Funny. I was just thinking of that old novel. Halloween's a fun season.
It's my favorite novel, and Halloween is my favorite Holiday! I'm thinking about rereading it, but I'm already involved with a lot of horror fiction for the season.

Good to see you still knocking around here by the way. You went quiet on us for a while there.
Thanks! And yes, I have a tendency to take long breaks. I've actually been doing my homework early lately.
We'll see how that changes now.

The Flood / NSFW Things You've Learned From Dreams (also a question about consent)
« on: October 13, 2015, 01:05:16 PM »
I'm apparently willing to do strange things for money. I distinctly recall one gentleman by the name of Mr. Swift desiring anal from me. While I wasn't keen of performing such an act he had a lot of money, so I endeavored to expand my discomfort zone (if you catch my meaning).

We were on a train, but at the last minute he pulls out a bag of thick, knobby sausages  and wanted me to masturbate with them. I'm very uncomfortable, but not wanting to forgo the money I accepted one of the greasy schlongs and prepared to penetrate my pooper. Mr. Swift leered over me, staring into my chasm. I, starting to feel palpable distress, actually woke myself up from sheer terror.

I was never so glad to wake up as I did then. The dream made me feel disturbed and filthy, but I also considered my consent in the situation. Though I consented verbally, personally I was uncomfortable, to the point whether I questioned if it was really consent after all. After all, people can use things to leverage sex (like money or status).

What do you think?
What did you learn in dream land?
Has anyone been raped in a dream?

I wrote this in middle school, truly one of the finer examples of writing in the English language.
Spoiler
Through everyday, every morning, and every night,
I wake up without a fright.

I see in the sky that holy orange ball,
Rise up, up, up and then fall.

The day of a test, I curse that morning ball,
And when my mom comes in my room, I wish she’d fall.

As I watch the sun fall tonight,
I think only this… I have more lines to write.

That’s so not right!

My head aches; I am beginning to hate orange balls,
Why did I choose this topic? My grade is sure to fall.

Oh, glorious orange ball, you have blinded me so,
I don’t want to get up and to school go.

Still other times I don’t want to go to bed, when you fade to orange.
In the summer, you’re more fun to watch, so open stays my bedroom door hinge.

In the summer you are my friend, Mr. Orange.
I (thankfully) repurposed Penny Men from this Junior year "gem" (Sorry, I can't spoiler this because of ipod restrictions):

"I fancy myself as bleak currency
Spent, tossed, forgotten to myself
I'm no more than a ragtag militia of pennies rolling foolishly about as uncertainly as a coin flipped.
I'm a 50/50, any day I'll be head up, head down, eyes up, eyes down to the floor
It's where I watch the pennies of my life roll like cheap plastic toys gilded with copper

Where is my substance? My gold center? Where can I gain some real self worth and stop being so cheap, like a crap piece of plastic
Shiny exterior, synthetic interior"

I didn't want the professor to feel obligated to bring band-aids when we met to discuss my poems.

« on: October 13, 2015, 12:07:39 PM »
Which do you prefer?

I like cold and uncooked things. If I could eat meat raw I'd go at my steaks like a wolf.
It's one reason I like sushi.

Although throughout a multi-meal course I like temperature fluctuation between dishes. Is that weird?

Other poem
Penny Men
I fancy myself the dying asset
I'm the penny falling
certainly as a coin-flip
I'm the 50/50
heads-up heads-down
Eyes up, eyes down on the floor
where you'll see me
a debt-mason in zinc clothing

I'm around to spite poor men on rainy days
I'm like the humans
who surely know the worth of their ways and wonder
"What am I to the dollar?"
Pennies are like insects
There's always more
Even when you don't need them.
I'd be happy enough in a pocket
waiting to be wasted on a horse ride in
King Soopers

Post things you're working on currently.
Do what you want (critique, comment, compare, etc.)

I'm working on a couple of poems for one of my classes
Pig's Jade
Their skulls shine like jade in pig troughs.
The day prior, those pigs priced the heads prior,
fire in green pea-eyed want burned through jade teeth
and feast on a back-wall sign, "Pig's Jade!"
Staid pig teeth showed a jaded pig face.

On the pig lot, shops in packed heat
feat their pig feet, hooves of fine white
Writhe under "Jade's" green sheets.
Worms felt the dead shine from twelve feet
while all the pigs see is Jade,
Jade chain-links in green sheets

They're wry-things in self need.
Greed, the mulch-man's fire, a green
sheen in skulls light the shelves,
themselves in death only through jade seen
Keen they might if they would hear their own screams.
