okay, my latest Lord of the Rings idea: character movies. example: here’s Boromir’s story. the second half is familiar, and we’ve already seen the climax, but not with this perspective. it’s 90 minutes long.

Perfect day for the last 1/3 of @fondalee.bsky.social’s The Last Contract of Isako. Made me think Frostpunk (as an fps) x The Continental (with samurai) x corporate intrigue. Great action and conspiracies, and all bound together by a provocative perspective on disclosure. Had a great time with it.

A view of rainy afternoon Seoul with a physical copy of “The Last Contract of Isako” by Fonda Lee. A badass cover but a little misleading in that Isako is never outside on the tundra, nor is there a moon in the sky — but I’m 100% cool with interpreting it metaphorically.

Okay, LotR re-interpretation: Hobbits as gangsters. Everything is what’s in the book — hobbit aesthetic, hobbit dialogue, hobbit shenanigans, hobbit clothes. But they’re not polite folk in an idyllic countryside, they’re crime lords who are out for blood and everybody who interacts with them knows.

I keep forgetting that character creation isn’t endgame. It’s something you can change or continue at any time (in the menu, although the timer keeps running). You can also accept quests and set goals.

I’ve been struggling with how to deal with *gestures vaguely at everything* and came to the conclusion that the answer was to write a story about a teenage orca with robot legs who goes on a violent rampage against the asshole human billionaire who killed her family. Here’s a preview!

this world is ruled by the criminally insane. if you’re in charge and this is happening, you are criminally insane and should not be in power. if you’re in charge and you’re not doing anything to stop this, right now, you’re either criminally insane or you’re not in charge.
