Twelve by Pies posted:Sure, but even if he's blaming poor booth sales of his book on that, he has to be looking at the comments/likes he gets on his tweets. He has to be looking at how much his Patreon is pulling in. It's obvious that there just aren't that many fans. Does he think that there's this huge group of people who like Dominic Deegan but somehow don't have a twitter and don't look at his website at all? That's the only way he could possibly think he has any large or even medium amount of interest in his comic with the amount of interaction he's getting. edit: I'm dumb but maybe he has some arbitrary "I want to be able to say I published X number of books" thing my other guess is a seeecret discord

Maxwell Lord posted:The comic has the shape and feel of a rough draft. I would almost bet money he approaches writing webcomics the way one approaches DMing a tabletop game--and I say this based on both how he writes and what he writes A DM doesn't want to make too many concrete, long-term "this is definitely what will happen later" plans because they can be derailed by the players, and even a boring plot setup can become something personal and exciting because the players get invested in their own characters, and pull threads you don't expect them to pull, and ask questions you don't have answers for so you have to make a bunch of poo poo up as you go along and it becomes its own unique thing. DMing is very much like improv storytelling and world building, with some DMs being way more elaborate in their research and prep while other DMs fly by the seat of their pants. Both can be great DMs. That's not a problem in itself--unless you're writing both the DM and the characters, and can't think of anything fun or exciting the players would do, or your characters are just as boring as your setting, or you can't think from any perspective but yours so it's like watching Mookie DM for a party of Mookies. He's waiting for some bolt of inspiration that will suddenly drive his cast and put him in the player mindset and it ain't happening. Characters can take a life of their own in a writer's head, but sometimes they don't. These ain't. what I'm saying is Mookie's writing would be better (not necessarily good, but Lunatic Sledge fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Sep 14, 2021 |

I'm mentally ill and having one of my old lovely webcomics criticized by a roving band of goons was what originally drew me to SA also one of the contributing factors to me actually improving, as both an artist and a writer Mookie refusing to hear criticism doesn't mean people are obligated to stop criticizing him

"oracle who also has ridiculous destructive power" could make sense if like, in the future he sees magic is wide spread and EVERYONE can throw around insane amounts of poo poo so he's like, stealing black magic secrets from a future post-magic-awakening society but then he has to try and secure that future so as not to magically paradox himself out of existence you could even do something cool with the reverse idea, someone who has arcane psychometry and can thus touch a faded tome in a museum and it's like he's reading the original text, gaining knowledge thought lost to time, or touch a wand and have a vision of how it was originally used so he can kind of duplicate the motions without really grasping the fundamentals or he just gets mad and explodes I guess, gently caress

a character snapping under the pressure of everyday life while also being a god of war who faces hell in their off time isn't even awful in itself, as long as you play up the fact that it's irrational or founded in the dichotomy between those two lives like, I can stand in front of a crowd and deliver a pre-written speech because that's an environment I have control in, I can do something life-threatening of my own volition and shrug it off like it's NBD, but then I get antsy standing in long lines or waiting in traffic because I have real brain problems. That's not even hyperbole, I mean I've literally had panic attacks standing in line at a convenience store but I was entirely calm when I almost broke my neck learning to do pro wrassling. But those are depths and nuances of humanity and the nature of anxiety that would need to be explored, I suspect, to make a character like that make any narrative sense. Especially if they are also a bomb classic Spider-man was kind of like that sometimes, where he could be a total smart rear end and feel invincible while fighting the Sinister Six but would turn back into an awkward dweeb when he tried to ask a girl out. Not full of rage per se, but anxious and afraid of failure. I've seen that argued as a show, part of the secret identity aspect like Superman pretending he's Clark Kent, but I really click more with the idea that Pete's more confident when he can put on a mask and literally punch all his problems away vs the "real world" where he's Peter Parker, carefully navigating the social construct, and I can definitely see a throughline from that kind of life dynamic to straight up raging against the machine. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, as someone whose own real life anger problems are rooted in that everyday anxiety, and how most of my coping mechanisms hinge on a diminishing access to escapism Or it could all be solved by like, taking a vacation I guess edit: see also soldiers who get comfortable being soldiers and then can't deal with not being soldiers. There's like a dozen angles to hit it from, if one were inclined to actually hit it and not just use it as an excuse for anime things Lunatic Sledge fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Oct 11, 2021 |

Twelve by Pies posted:Idiot protagonists work if they have other strengths, like kindness (actual kindness, not what Legacy is trying to pass off as kindness), heroism, even just pure strength. Goku isn't very smart but he puts his life on the line to defend Earth and he's strong enough to succeed at it. Another point in Goku's favor is that he's an idiot in every situation but one (and it's fighting) (in a show about fighting) dude knows the perfect training-to-relaxation ratio for max gains, dude was the only one to deliberately innovate super saiyan in multiple ways, dude can copy a technique after seeing it once; compare and contrast any number of detective type characters who are socially awful but will loving slam dunk any and every murder mystery they stumble across If Snout was dumb but pretty drat good at whatever the comic was about, it'd at least feel like he's important to the plot, but the comic's not about anything and there is no plot sooo

Medenmath posted:The whole make-it-up-as-you-go thing seems like a perfectly fine way to write the first draft of a story, but it so clearly doesn't work the way he wants it to. Like I've heard plenty of writers say they like to start with a basic premise and let the characters take the story wherever it goes, but they aren't usually releasing each page as they write it. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's also just bad at it. Like, improvising your plot is obviously never ideal compared to properly planning and writing a story, full stop, but plenty of (off the top of my head) manga artists have had to pull whole arcs and characters out of their asses with far less boring results. I've been writing by the seat of my pants for years now (over a decade, arguably) and the outcome's been mixed--sometimes confusing, often ugly, but Jesus Christ never so meandering or repetitive. I really, seriously don't know how someone gets stuck in a recap loop without just, I don't know, being entirely devoid of ideas or investment. Even just having characters idly gently caress around should have something to it if the writer has anything so say with or about those characters. Dude's not just carving the path as he goes, he's also doing it with no compass and no destination in mind so he just ends up going in circles.
