If You Had To Recommend An Exercise Or Other Sort Of “thing An Aspiring Writer Should Do”s What Would

i had three fic ideas.  wrote one.  i still have three fic ideas.  this is not how math is supposed to work.

I don't like that Daemon Princes get a new true name after they ascend

Like the true name being the groaning whine of a Locust plague or the click-clack of rounds being chambered is all well and good for the Neverborn but Daemon Princes should still have that tie to their former life

After you become a daemon, the first order of business should be destroying any traces of your existence prior to daemonhood. Picking up an alias, slaughtering friends and family, orbital bombarding records, etc.

Imagine an Inquisitor throwing everything from table salt to nukes at an ultra powerful Daemon prince but in the end, its undoing was the elderly mother that it was never able to track down

so there will be two kinds of daemons

if i was sisyphus id eat a bit of dirt off the slope every time on my way up until the slope is no longer steep enough for the boulder to roll down. it would be end of suffering in 47 days

I don't get conservatives I'd love for a transgirl to shove her agenda down my throat

do you think wizards have spelling bees

The pit

Based on a clip from the @comicaurora OSPodcast special episode.

I always find it funny when a singular Warhammer 40k fan makes like, this enormous ultra-quality animation or series or something.

Not because they made it

But because the reaction is always "ONE PERSON MADE THIS!?"

And I'm like "Bro, do you know what 40k is? Do you know what 40k players do? Do you know what being a 40k fan is? It's PATIENCE, and NEVER CEASING FOCUS and A COMPLETELY IMMORTAL DEDICATION TO YOUR HOBBY."

Like my guy, a 40k player will spend 600 days in a row painting miniatures to make them all matching army colors just so he can go join a game that's gonna last 16 weeks and span the entirety of the game shop every time they set that shit up.

And y'all are somehow amazed when a singular 40k fan spends 3 years making a 40k fan-series that looks higher quality than a Blizzard cinematic?

the worst thing about writing or any kind of craft is having an idea you're really excited to make a reality but then you sit down and realize how much work it's going to take to get to that point and suddenly you feel like those two little gay guys in the mountain in the lord of the rings
