>>1195385A bit too open-ended and telegraphed. The bigger problem is that split, because it means the main character is a traumatized mess who hardly says a word in the last season, and there is no one else to carry the show because, well, most of the interesting characters died in the season 2 finale.

Not much. I watched Thunderbolts*, but now I might abscond and continue Death Stranding. I am not feeling too good.

No.1195909
>>1195897 it's a lot to sum up. I teamed up with a group of Acolytes to take down the Dark Feather, but one of them was a little suspicious, and so it was decided that we would all undergo the Acolyte initiation so they could reaffirm their status and I could become an Acolyte. And then after the others were all done, in the middle of my initiation, it was revealed that they were all actually in service of the Dark Feather! At that point I just rolled with it and became his loyal servant. I passed another test to meet with him personally. And then I was granted dominion over one of his tickle slaves, who absolutely hated being tickled. And I offered to protect her from being tickled in exchange for her loyalty. The Dark Feather then gave us a mission to infiltrate a group of rebels seeking to overthrow him. We tracked them down and joined the group, and we were subsequently given a mission by the rebels to scout the Dark Feather's lair, but since we weren't sure if it was legit or a trap set for us by the rebels, we accepted their mission as double agents. It ended up being a little bit of both, and we discovered a portal into the Dark Feather's castle, leading specifically to the chamber of once Lady Whimsy. But the portal separated me from the tickle slave. The Dark Feather then sent me and Whimsy to close the portal and recover the slave. After closing the portal we returned to the rebels and incapacitated them, and found the slave had joined them. So we exacted diabolical punishments involving about 15 people on this disloyal slave and brought her and the subdued rebels back to the Dark Feather. DF then told me to prepare a chamber for a special guest of his, who arrived and wanted to experience the pleasure of the chamber. But during her session a powerful witch from the Order of Tickling teleported us from the chamber and seduced me to join her against the Dark Feather. And at just about every step along the way, incredibly pervy stuff was happening.

>>1195946 It really is! It loses context if I indulge in the individual scenarios for too many posts. After 6-10 posts of sexy-time, it forgets pretty much everything except the immediate circumstances. So I have to give it an "ok, that was fun, now here's the situation" post, and then it can pick up again. It's a workaround.
I had an idea that I think I might try once I play around with it a bit more. I'm pretty awful at creative writing (fiction or fan fiction type stuff), but I think I can train an AI to do the writing for me, and then just come up with the scenarios for the AI to write. and then I can post some of this stuff on the appropriate forums.
But negatives are no fun! most of the time.
That sounds nice.
Well, we went to the hospital yesterday and got her a massive supply of anti-psychotic and mood stabilizing medication. And she's got an appointment with a psychiatrist for evaluation in 2 days. which is good... but she's a mess. She threw up in the trashcan and told no one. She spilled coffee all over the counter and didn't clean it up. She blows shit up in the microwave and just leaves it. She just went to take a shower, without either something to clean herself with or a towel. She's accused Nonny of ridiculous things because she was mad at him earlier. just zero social awareness or common sense and in her own little bubble. She's got cousins in Maine we want to try to get her up to but she's not really following up. conflicting statements. she just picks things up and moves them and then forgets what she did or why. it's very frustrating. Nonny and I are trying to clean the place and she's like the tornado blowing through after us. She also costs a fortune. She spends what little money she has on dumb shit and then has to get Nonny to buy her essentials, and when I get food she eats 75% of it before I've even touched it. It's just very, very frustrating. Oh yeah and in her frantic motions, she hit her knee on the replacement ponychan server, and she got mad and kicked the server into a metal rack. Thankfully it seems to be fine.

>>1195948Coming up with the ideas is always the most difficult part. The blank page is unforgiving. It seems like you are not struggling with that, however. Would you give it the writing prompt or phrase it in the form of a writing exercise?
Negatives can engender creativity! When they tell you "no," you look for a way around it.
That sounds incredibly exhausting and frustrating. I am so sorry both of you are having to go through all of this, but at the same time it is good that you are dealing with it together rather than individually. It is a huge thing you are doing to get her help, and it is completely understandable that you feel like at your wit's end. Please make sure you're taking care of yourself, too!
I have been resting, mostly. There was a storm here last night. The noise would not allow for much peaceful sleep, and then the alarm got tripped up somehow and woke me up when I finally had managed to fall asleep. I had my nap earlier. Now I can run to the movie theater after the weekend to avoid the crowds and watch that new Superman movie.

She already has the BB gun and the mini fire pit, both of which Nonny got her. They're also part of the problem. but thankfully the woods and sandbar by the river are secluded and we're unlikely to be noticed.
I watched the Angry Joe and RedLetterMedia reviews. That's about as close as I'll personally get to it.
I've never heard of Creature Commandos.
>>1195958 We scraped the wax ff the switch where we could, and it charges. but I don't think Nonny has tested it out beyond that. I'm not sure about the paperwork. The picture is the thing Nonny was most pissed about, and it thankfully did not get damaged.

>>1195984I can do the writing if I were to focus. Mostly, I am lazy and avoid it altogether. The writing process is fun when something drives me want to tell a story, but that has not happened in a while. LLMs have been wonderful to me for other kinds of writing, like replying to emails I do not care about.
I would bring a fire extinguisher—just in case.
I know RedLetterMedia from those old Star Wars reviews. They were funny, but I am not a fan of online reviewers. It used to be that I read reviews from Roger Ebert, Janet Maslin, A.O. Scott, and a few other critics to get a sense of how a movie was received, but nowadays I watch stuff and only look at aggregators after the fact.
It might be time to make copies.
