revisiting bits of godfeels and i've gotta say this is my absolute Favorite kind of scene to write. here's a robot who for the last 3000 words has seemed like a personality-less shell for gathering information for administrative purposes. then suddenly it's a mortal person who was just being professional. i love doing this. i love introducing throwaway gag characters and then refusing to throw them away
the exact same thing happened with the joke character Burning Romeo, described as "a sentient bonfire stuffed into a space suit" who only speaks in descriptions of types of flame, eventually refusing the call to adventure in fear of its own mortality
and oh man you KNOW i've got even more bullshit like this up my sleeve for the future >:)
rereading bits of 2.3 for the first time in like two years, you know i can be pretty funny sometimes
@sarahzedig DAVE: goat, you're funny all the time
@sarahzedig this mf saying "sometimes"
@sarahzedig you're funny c:
@sarahzedig dare: i absolutely respect this especially since the terms of division are meaningful, but the further we get through "chapter 8" the funnier the titles get.
@sarahzedig DAVE: jegus i forgot about that
@sarahzedig I’ll admit, I did screenshot this when I was reading through GF in a moment of “wow I am really reading a fanfic with this chapter taxonomy, huh”
@irisjaycomics all of this stems from my conviction that the entirety of chapter 8 needed to be one single unit of story because this fic needed to have a total of 8 chapters and no more, it just kept getting bigger and bigger
@sarahzedig chalk it up to A Literary Tradition
@irisjaycomics luckily my high school shakespeare teacher gave me a lifelong obsession with the five act structure, so it all worked out in the end
i'm such a bitch
