goodnightfinn

We’re so close to a reason guys I’m not bullshitting, AP test is gone, track season ends tomorrow, my job hunt is going alright, don’t have too much work left in school. I’m getting stuff done with the story when I can, really appreciate everyone’s patience.

I’m seventeen today, gonna get on battlefront after school I’m so excited 

Kinda stinks that this has to be said at all, but I want to make it clear to make sure everyone reading my stuff is aware of this. I am strictly against generative AI. At points I thought of using it to help make progress faster, and when I did, it felt hollow. It felt hollow because it was, I had been trying to put a square peg through a round hole. Wendigoon puts the feelings I have about AI into words extremely well in his video on the Angel Engine series. Regardless of what this tool COULD do, I don't want to use it. What I'm writing is mine, for me, not a collaboration between my thoughts and a computers.

Just added on like 200 words. Chapter is coming along pretty nicely. I will say, things might come out quicker once I’ve got the foundational chapters done, because I can take more inspiration from the shows and comics (I don’t plan on following them beat for beat and just throwing Franky in them, that’s kinda lame).

How's the writing goin', champ? 

Sorry for moving at glacial speeds here everyone. Genuinely haven’t had time to write anything recently, track started up soon and this trimester I have a lot more work intensive classes. Still making time to write on the weekends, but as much as I as I love this stuff it’s still a side project. I need to focus on school, keep looking for a job, maintain my social life and stay being a chiller with my friends. Love yall and the support though, means the world to me

Characterization was something I was pretty worried about, but this next chapter is gonna finally get the majority of the X-Men introduced and I feel like I’m cooking with gasoline here. Genuinely spent a bit working on how I want each to feel, what their feelings on Francis are and how he feels about them.  

I keep getting slimed by Bucky this season bro. It's like yall are determined to negate the nerf out of sheer spite lmao

Changing Ellis’ name again because I did some reading and founding out Ellis Harper was apparently an infamous confederate guerrilla soldier, and even though it’s just coincidence I don’t want a character of mine to share the same first and last name as a confederate.

I’m fighting the urge to change his name again, first go around was because I just got sick of Warren and it was too similar to Angel but Jesse also fits guys I’m losing it
