Revolutionary heroes ranging from John Brown to Kim Il-Sung are isekai'd to a fantasy world that parodies shows like 'the rising of the shield hero' to break the chains of slavery in all forms once more and liberate the fantasy workers and the peasants from the yoke of feudal oppression while hunting down so-called "heroes" summoned by the feudal lords who intend to use them as tools to preserve their power and the economic base of their feudalistic slave economy.
Show me Stalin riding a chocobo or some shit leading a calvary charge against slaver caravans!
Show me Marx, Engels, and Lenin working together in the cities inspiring the proto-proletariate to take up arms against the feudal robber-barons and their land-leechs that bleed them dry
Show me Mao, Tito, and bonus character Jan Žižka, on a rural bro-venture with the three in a competitive rivalry to see who can organize the greatest peasant rebellion between the three!
It helps that I'm mostly motivated by spite, and often have confidence issues with my writing, so when I see something awful and generic as the "alternative" to what I am going to write, it really helps inspire me to keep going. I used to just look up bad writing in general, but AI has streamlined the process of finding terrible writing to compare my own too quite a bit. It helps stop me from getting into the cycle of nonstop revision as well, because I'm comparing my work to something worse, not some hypothetical perfect version in my head. It mainly works for me because I have deadlines to meet and do need to get stuff done even when I'm just not feeling it at all.
Sometimes just putting aside time for a quick idea can work really well for people! It is a little hit or miss for me, but it has helped me with writer's block in the past. Just writing something you want to, with no rules, no audience in mind, just trying to create something to get back into the habit can be really effective. Creativity is a skill like any other, and like any other skill, it needs practice and discipline for you to keep going with it.
Well heres to us and anyone else dealing with the block to get over the hump one way or another!
also I can't believe we don't have a toasting emoji.
I kinda want to share some of my writing ideas in the literature comm sometime just for the hell of jt
I should probably share more stuff in the art com too, it would probably get me more motivated to do stuff outside of just work.
We should both go for it, it'll be rough at first I think, but it'll be better for both of us longer term!
(This is the only other vaguely "toast" themed emoji I could find)
