Trying To Look Back And Add/fix Some Writing For The Coffee Because I've Gotten Better At Characterization.

Trying to look back and add/fix some writing for The Coffee because I've gotten better at characterization.

Probably gonna fix the first chapter since it comes off as preachy and I feel like Sylvia would be more worried about Wander leaving the "happy to be single" club over him screwing up a relationship; she KNOWS those two are obsessed with each other. Also gonna dial back on the whole "Wander being downtrodden" to make him worried about the cut contact instead.

Other stuff to note about the series since I'm probably not gonna go back and rewrite old episodes (at least for a while):

- Female Watchdogs have apparently always existed on the ship, so that whole equality segment is trashed

- Hater's backstory changed a bit; the ID number name he had isn't accurate anymore since NASA chimps were named before launch. I'm keeping the whole "remembering being a chimpanzee" thing but I'm going to make it so that it's a lot blurrier for him and he just can't remember/doesn't like his old name.

- Any attempt at a play on words like a "kerson/keyson" in the first chapter is something I hope people completely disregard because it sucks... Sorry!

- Similar apologies for any preachy bullshit, I've gotta get better at the whole "show don't tell" thing

- Any future installment after The Coffee will be posted all at once instead of chapter-by-chapter because I tried that again for this installment and it's been a disaster.

Thank you for being patient with me! I'll try to get writing out as soon as I can, I've just been dealing with some sudden family deaths/depression. I'll post again soon! ;)

I've realized something as of late . . . . Whenever RW artists depict vultures, they almost always neglect to show these weird side bulbs that vultures have in front of their wings? Looking at Joar's concept art, it seems their an attachment point, and the wings protrude out from the back end of them in some way. I feel like I'm the only one who's acknowledged it, have you noticed this too?

That is interesting! I have not drawn vultures, so I didn't take a good look at them yet. I always like looking at these sketches for inspiration on design, though it's also good to remember that Joar's concept sketches aren't the be-all-end-all of creature's "true" designs. In the end, in-game sprites is where everyone is basing from, and there's freedom to re-interpret.

I working on other projects atm but I’ll be going back and cleaning this up later bc I love this scene so so much

GOOD NEWS!

The fansub project is official DONE! All 100 episodes! Including UPDATED SUBS for the original 66 episodes with improved translations!!  (*Except the 3D special but I was gonna wait til I got a better quality video…)

So you can either watch em here: https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x7bmum  (apologies if there are ads, I can’t actually control em! I hear Firefox with Ublock origin can block em)

Or download em here!

Please share this so more people can see! :D  We worked really hard on this so it’d be appreciated!

* Softsub means the subtitles aren’t ‘baked in’. This means higher quality video and you can modify the subtitles if needed. You’ll need a program like VLC or Media Player Classic to view them and they may not work on phones! Hardsubs are ‘baked in’ so you can view em, anywhere, but there is a slight reduction in video quality

Bro, I wanna talk about the implications of Kirby Mass Attack so bad... I will go down with the take that it's the darkest Kirby game of all time; a MINIMUM of 45 Kirbys end up dead and lore implications (like the cycle of matter/mitosis) make it so much worse! 😭

Imagine, as a child, having to guide/care for infant versions of yourself that can barely defend themselves and at least 45 of them end up dying.

This shit was so bad the ending had Kirby actually do some self reflection. Straight up looking out at the void of space and acknowledging that darkness had to exist IN NARRATIVE TEXT!

Kirby may not be phased by too much at his current age, but oh my god the stuff he's gonna have to reflect on when he's older...
