Those idiots think they can lock up caterwauling dragons with bureaucracy and paperwork. The worst part? It's actually working.

I somehow managed to wake up at 3am last night. Normally, if I wake up early, I do it around 5am. The same night, I had a dream in which I was searching the Rain World pre-release development logs for a substitute alphabet for the game’s primary script system - and noticed it written, very small, in the top-right corner of an image.

My hunger for this kind of information is simply that strong.

FACT: The poster for the nonexistent movie The Mineral Fish Invade The TBGs was originally going to feature a forward-facing perspective of Copper Fish. I switched to a side view because Copper Fish’s mouth was open in that scene and I had trouble deciding how to draw and color the back of its mouth.

I bring this up because 1. the recent TBGs domain theft incident and 2. the fact that I have recently come up with another movie poster idea that I will not be bringing into reality, also due to a small design blunder.

However, in memory of my success, I have refurbished the poster once more.

I did some more work on the chronology, and I settled on this structure:

TPOWW -> APFP -> EFAFV
                     \
                     MWBW -> WTDGLAH -> (Future Story Arc)
                     /                              \
        [tbd] -> [tbd] -> [tbd] ----------> RHHM -> SDJD

Everything on the bottommost row is part of the second writing cluster. The [tbd] writings are plot holes to be filled in by future writings.

Out of boredom, I decided to make a roadmap for the chronology of my writings. The structure is divided into four clusters of connected writings.

The biggest chronological cluster encompasses six writings:

                       AOOCE
                          \
TPOWW -> APFP -> EFAFV -> MWBW -> WTDGLAH

The second biggest cluster has four writings:

       TMDD
         \
RHHM -> RHHM2 -> SDJD

The remaining two clusters have two writings each:

SVC -> TSOS

HLNS -> TUOS

While it isn’t very unified, it’s reassuring to see that there aren’t any detatched writings. On top of that, AOOCE, one of the writings in the first cluster, contains content similar to TMDD, meaning that I could potentially connect the two biggest clusters if I made a new writing to bridge them. I have some complaints about the writings in the second cluster, but I won’t disclose them to keep things brief here.

Yesterday, I remembered a quote, let my creativity do its thing, and ultimately ended up with these scenes:

Me (IWD): “I had this dream that resulted from two of my major brain content inputs mixing. Even if drawing the scene at the scale that I want is too much effort, I can at least try to draw the main character in that scene . . .“

For your enjoyment, I just so happen to be maintaining a note with witty summaries of all my journal entries from a certain point, titled The Lemon Curry Chronicles. Here are the most recent summaries:

* 1.10.D.2: "Stop putting disgusting stuff on food if it's going to end up on my hands!"
* 1.11.A: "Warm pills . . . Zzzzz . . ."
* 1.11.B: "Are you ever gonna open the can of worms?! Well, I'm ready whenever you are!"
* 1.11.C: "By all means, channel your inner brain dumper, Spearmaster!"
* 1.11.D: "Park your hot dog on the stapler . . ."
* 1.12.A: "Behold! My first [PERSONAL MATTER] dream!"
* 1.12.A.2: "Let's shake up the exothermic processes with some metabolic processes . . ."
* 1.12.C: "Let's just be ethical for a minute."
* 1.12.C.2: "Don't you never, ever, pull my lever . . . BECAUSE I LITERALLY EXPLODE!"

Since I don’t have much to talk about, here are some recent journal entries:

ENTRY 1.12.A

Naydra being swallowed by a Molduga over some egg

ENTRY 1.11.D

"Park your hot dog on the stapler . . ."

ENTRY 1.11.C

I had a brief scare for my schedule. As you all know, I plan to attend the next [LOCAL IRL EVENT] on February. However, the same day, my parents are planning to attend a gleaning event. Fortunately, they say that it's going to be over by 11. Game plan!

ENTRY 1.9.A

I've got a new plan for [PERSONAL MATTER]: instead of waiting 70 days for the Steam sale, I'll wait 25 days for the first Saturday of February. I've near-missed so many opportunities, it's almost suspicious . . .

2 0 0

I’m currently waiting for February 3rd. That’s 24 days/3.4 weeks/1.09xETS away. That may be far away, but it’s much closer than the March 16th (67 days/9.5 weeks/3.04xETS) objective that I was originally aiming for.

I slept. I didn’t have dreams about the fandom I’m interested in. Instead, I had a dream about a fanmade n-gon map named fishtail.

Also, somewhere in that dream, Mef showed up. I’ve been keeping score, and that’s the sixth or seventh time he’s appeared in my dreams in some form.

I did some solid research on that fandom this morning, and my ambient thoughts (which I have dubbed the “icelandic waters“) had a lot to say as I did it!

IN OTHER NEWS: I’m currently preparing to research that fandom I mentioned yesterday. I just need to wait two hours for the optimal air pressure . . .

One of the exceptions to my “don’t investigate fandoms you don’t participate in“ rule is that it’s fine if I do it by watching others talk about it. Here’s what happened when I did just that:

I noticed that, ever since I started expanding my cloud discography collection, my hunger for music has grown.

ENTRY B

- Get the original version of Close to Me

- Consider fishing up the song I'm currently listening as well

ENTRY A.2

I came up with an explanation for the [THREAD EVENT]. It has to do with . . . well, it feels a little too sensitive to let out of my brain in such a raw state. But I do have a plausible explanation, and it ties in with [POINTER]!

P.S. I came up with an idea for a musical even worse than my last one. This one is so out-of-character that I'm not letting the slightest detail out!

IN OTHER NEWS: I tried to draw that thing I mentioned on my whiteboard. This is what I made so far:

Quotes from yesterday’s journal entries:

ENTRY C

After getting the idea to draw a scene from the [THREAD] thread, I stumbled on an even worse idea: making a flat-out MUSICAL. Needless to say, this is not happening.

"My ear canal symbolizes a jar of vinegar."

ENTRY D

My day started with iterators, social difficulties and paying Slugcat a visit, and ended with O-EMS, big expansions to my cloud discographies and imagining Daybreaker singing along to We Built This City!

Just thought I'd say that real quick. I have company!
