[some of you may have seen this relatively new number replying to other posts for a bit (and if you have you've seen how weird the owner is) but most of you probably haven't. either way Nyah's making a post now as if she's always been here, no introduction or other newbie-related stuff included. she figures it's not really important to the narrative if she's doing some information scouting]

important question
how many of you are reincarnated lovers?
if you could specify if you were also tragic and to what degree in your past life thatd be super helpful
im trying to figure out which genres this whole thing isnt trying to play with and romance is a big fat question mark right now
if it does end up being relevant then im going to wash my hands of this whole thing from a creative perspective i swear
what a clunky thing to have to deal with



also
unrelated to the first question, but
throw some mythologies that feature malevolent entities with major canine characteristics at me?
im looking to expand my horizons on that front

if u consider tricksters malevolent theres coyote

[clawkind]

tricksters are super fun are you crazy
i love coyote

[wonk]

y r u lookin 4 dog villains anyway

[clawkind]

just curious, mostly
i like to be able to identify themes and symbolism so i have a vague idea of where things are going
it makes stuff more fun
and i need to get out of my mythology comfort zone anyway

[wonk]

u have an entire mytgholgy comfort zone?

*mythology

[clawkind]

of course
doesnt everyone?

[wonk]

shit ur right its christianity

holy fuck i cant beleive i didnt realize

[clawkind]

thats ok
most people dont really see that perspective for whatever reason
i guess theyre not as interested in thematics

[wonk]

im gonna be ttly honest

the only reason i realized is bc im hella tired of every religuious reference bein to christianty

like savior figure?

jesus

its always jesus

like jesus was a cool guy but he gets p boring after the 50th fuckin time u kno

[clawkind]

biblical symbolism is super common because of that whole write what you know thing
and instead of going out of their way to know new and interesting things most authors just dive straight for the bible
which isnt necessarily a bad thing on its own
its just that you need to be stupid creative to make it work these day

[wonk]

its the marianne kurosawa problem

shitty ass preachy romance novels where the girl fucks up and the guy suffers bc ADAM AND EVE U KNO and then they have 2 fix it and it always ends up suckin ass

[clawkind]

uuuuuugh
that is probably one of the best examples of why i really am not big on the romance genre at all
is there a really obvious snake analogy stuck in there somewhere too?

[wonk]

fuck if i can even remember i havent read any of her books in ages

she keeps sendin em 2 me tho

[clawkind]

id say send them my way and ill flip through them but honestly ive got waaay too many classics to get through first to really think about stuff thatd probably just make me mad
so we can probably just assume the answer is yes

[wonk]

dammit i need 2 go chekc now






fuck

there is

omg im laughin so hard in this 1 its literally a drug dealre

[clawkind]

nooooooo
i bet the drugs called 'poison apple' or something too
i can see it in my head its awful

[wonk]

its even worse its called snakes venom

god im laughin so hard

[clawkind]

oh nooooo
sometimes i forget that all the bad stuff i talk about existing in storytelling can actually get rolled up into one book
aaaugh

[wonk]

she can go fuck herself tbh

shes a shitty fuckin writer i hate her so much

[clawkind]

id only bother hating if she actually popular
it drives me crazy that all the uncreative authors get the biggest fanfare
like really? this is what you guys think is cool?

[wonk]

she is thats the worst part shes super fuckin rich

[clawkind]

bleeegh
well theres always the refuge in that people like that have no staying power
once the fad blows over sales will drop
and no one will think about naming any of the books as new modern classics
so at least theres that

[wonk]

@ least

i hope it fades soon man im hella tired of this trend

[clawkind]

youre preaching to the choir here
some real creative talent getting the spotlight is long overdue
i know youre supposed to like be the change and all that but im kind of busy
professional writing isnt really a big priority of mine you know?
so i just get mad at fads in the meantime
