expect updates here and there! naturally there will be spoilers attached so peruse at your own risk. I'm wondering if I should filter it to lighter spoilers, or if I should just give a heads up on how big a spoiler something is from post to post.

While I have much of the character ideas, not all of them are exact. Eventually when I have more structure established. I'll post some of her character pillars later

indeed, hopefully I have more to show soon!

Side note, peak pfp you've chosen, btw. (when specter eventually changes it, it's a fanart image of Blind Obsession Ishmael)

no, its just kinda peak 🥶

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

Don't awawawa me bruh

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.

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 💀
