🦋: Current WIPs

Oh my gosh this list is wayyyyy too long😅😅

So, I’m writing 2 ongoing stories, AbelCode and Anatomy of a Broken Girl, as well as AoaBG’s sequel. However, for things that haven’t come out…

Ghosts (Back in Jackson after Salt Lake City, Ellie starts to hallucinate the people she met on her journey)

A Dungeon Master’s Guide to Trauma (Ellie, Jesse, Dina, and Cat play DnD)

[redacted] (hehe…)

TLOU x Hunger Games (this one is pretty self-explanatory, but I’m not sure if I’m gonna post it…)

These are the ones I’m currently working on, but I have some other ones planned as well…

✨:Newest WIP

Someone sent me a request for a modern AU foster fic, so I started on that a couple days ago. It’s called ‘Frightening Fishes’, based on the ‘Shrinking’ theme song. It’s pretty angsty, believe it or not…

Also, I have a ton more for original WIPs, but I wasn’t sure if anyone wants to hear about that haha. Drop me an ask for original WIPs if you do!

Now that this has become a topic of discussion (again) there’s something I gotta say…

Honestly? I have some problems with Ellie’s part 2 design. Not because it’s a bad design, but because of a completely different reason:

Ellie in TLOU part 2 is nineteen years old. After the time-skip she’s 21-22.

Ellie in Part 2 is a Hollywood teenager. Plain and simple. And I know people are going to hate on this because they love Ellie’s character design, and it’s not that I think it’s bad, I just think it’s important to acknowledge that it isn’t realistic.

I’ve seen so many ways people have tried to justify it, saying things like “well stress and lack-of-food make people look older”. Yeah, they do. What they don’t do is turn people into models. Stress doesn’t give them perfect cheek-bones and plush lips—it gives them wrinkles. A couple scars doesn’t make someone look realistic—especially when they’re precisely placed as to keep the sex-appeal at a maximum. Ellie in TLOU part 2 was absolutely designed to be attractive and appealing to people. The design wasn’t made to be realistic, the design was made to be marketable.

It’s absolutely fine to love the character design, what’s not fine is to expect people to look like it and be mad that they don’t.

Bella Ramsey looks like a real nineteen-year-old. Bella Ramsey looks like a human. Bella Ramsey didn’t have their appearance designed pixel-by-pixel and shown to focus groups and adjusted so they could look good to as large a range of people as possible.

People look like people. Get over it.

The difference between them normally and acting is so funny🤣 Their vibe just shifts in a 1 second!

2/2 of the videos I got on set

Overall it was really cool to see, they filmed more shots than this but I’d rather watch it than film it
