oh my GAH i'm so pissed (for no good reason)

I was just scrolling through my feed and I got the EXACT question that I have been asking myself to help develop hidden sails

and a whole like, argument/answer built upon it

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ok I think I'm not pissed. It's more like possessed by a need to get a move on. Motivation? Excitement?

The truth of the matter is irl I have a friend that I feel like I can speak the most philosophical and interesting of questions to. We don't talk often, but when we do, it's like 5+ hours of just introspective thoughts verbalized.

I hope to talk to him in order to help develop the overarching themes of Hidden Sails or really just the stories I wish to tell in general. The questions are very like, "the essence of humanity" focused or whatever and I feel he's the only person I can talk to that will understand what I'm trying to get at.

The only thing is

He's sick 💀

Birdbrain contemplating life

She was just killed by her brother who she thought was dead for years

(she's alive because she got injected by some phoenix drug juice that she's now dependent on until they find a cure or whatever)

nvm I think she's shorter she was giving shorthead energy compared to the rest of the team

anyways the birdbrain is back. Was just doing some practice and then the post turned into an actual image

ok you will not believe it but in fact I DID draw a dude like, before this piece and broke the cycle. He's another new character its just I decided not to post him. (unfortunately he is not hidden sails related... I think.)

If we could, I'd be impressed. Rn I'm ever the doubter though, so I'm thinking there's a very big difference between a collab doc and a turn-based game where there is no form of planning whatsoever and where the purpose lies in improvisation. Not that it wouldn't make everything even more funny so count me in for general embarrassment
Also I am so lost on you mentioning Skribbl.io. Are you sure you have the right game? 

Oh no it can definitely just be fun bad if we want it to be.

I mean I think skribbl.io has a game mode where someone picks up a drawing/animation from where the last person left it? If not one of those similar types of games? Just that but for writing, maybe.

Yeah this stuff is too good.

This coloring style is very fun and unique, and the hands! Amazing! I would dread doing that hand clasp.

The eyes are very nice too, it's like, a stylized eye shape, followed by the vibrant colors within. Very nice.

I've only tested FranticFanfic with Specter and Echo, and there we kinda relied on us having characters we all know. That's why it might be kinda iffy. But if anyone has a more general, alternative way to use it, I think we're all ears here lol

Honestly if it's something like pick up where the last writer left off, I presume we could just use it as a normal writing too, starting a story from scratch. Like how skribbl.io does it or something, you know?

Yeah tbh that's true

I've been bogged down by exams and all that stuff until like 2 days ago so I haven't been able to really think about this stuff

But I'm down whenever to hop on the game for the most part! Tbh I'm not to familiar with quick games like gartic or makeitmeme so I'm willing to try whatever.

Frantic Fanfic sounds fun if we're all on the same page of tone because it's writing. I've never really been a fanfic person tho.

Just as importantly, I believe I should look into crafting the antagonist's moral argument. That is something I may have to dig deep into that I just realized.

It can't be an argument that is easy to disprove, like, "Oh btw everything is all worthless and you should give up"

A moral argument requires a decision to make. I don't think if I placed such a hopeless argument against the hero's argument, it would ever give a tough decision to make, not to mention it wouldn't even put up a good fight or add much nuance.

so, I believe I need to create 2 moral arguments, however, one must be "stronger" to to just overcome the other.

Much of (good) stories is really just a battle between differing moral arguments after all. I remember hearing from one of the philosophy club board members that really a good way to start in philosophy or pick it up is legit just reading fiction. Many stories have such philosophies intertwined anyways. Idk why it took me so long to realize while it was clearly in my face, but this will be my next goal for the inter break. I'll have to ponder on this.

Ok, for like I think maybe 80% or so I'm done with the big chunk of writing character ttrpg things. I don't think I'll ever stop writing stuff for my ttrpg table, but usually whenever a I have to develop character lore it takes a lot more focus and time. Yk? For like right now as an example, I'll be probably writing up a thought experiment for fun concerning the actions that we must take this upcoming session. Mostly just for me but also to consider multiple arguments concerning the dubious morality that will happen.

Anyways, this is a hidden sails update thread, isn't it?

After a long ass while of writing other stuff, I've arrived back to hidden sails. I'll admit, I was lazy, and I wanted to cut some corners in developing the premise/ a moral choice. The truth is I need to think on it even more. Now, you may think I do a lot of thinking, but the truth is I really don't lol.

A while back I arrived at a moral choice/moral argument that I thought would suffice for The Hidden Sails, but as I've consumed some more content, I realized that it failed to do so. Not because it was a faulty argument or lackluster, but because it wasn't me. I currently am in the mindset of needing to find a moral argument that truly touches my soul. Or smth like that. That sounds cringe as hell, so let me restate it.

I need to find a moral argument that I truly believe.

I want to go think deeper on the exploration of humanity. And present an argument that really resonates with me. Something beyond the "Oh btw you should never ever give up" because that's very generic and unspecified. Maybe the moral argument that I am looking for is a more detailed version of "never give up" maybe it's something completely different. Nevertheless, we will have to see what it is.

stop don't remind me that the last time I posted here was 3 months ago 😭

I'll be real I'm currently working on a ttrpg character's lore. I've been stuck on him for a few weeks, but I should be wrapping up soon and free to circle back to Hidden Sails. Plus winter break plus me making it a habit to write every day

This was something I was always confused about. I have some irl friends that play hsr so I know many the characters and some plot points just being around them so...

why is Sunday a playable character? Wasn't he the main antagonist of the last arc?
