Ya'll. That is dedication to the fandom.

Literal. Fucking. Tears.

I have never felt so seen to hear someone talk about my work like this. I fucking love this fandom, and I just wanted someone to notice and care that I did, and this stranger on BlueSky, and I'm fucking crying. 😭 💜

Aw, man. I dunno how I managed to figure out how to emotionally numb to shitty comments while also remaining THIS sensitive to positive ones, but I'm very glad for it tonight. I could not be more grateful for it. 💙

This is the article they're quoting, btw. Just cuz why not reshare? It's a reshare moment.

Life is Strange: Opening the Show with Max and Her World

The beginning of any adaptation is crucial. It sets tone, introduces characters, and signals the story audiences can expect. For Life is Strange, the original game begins with Max in her photography class, daydreaming and glimpsing a terrifying tornado flash-forward. While this moment is iconic, television demands a different approach. Audiences are passive viewers rather than players, so dropping them immediately into a surreal tornado vision risks confusion or detachment. Instead, the show […]

Life is Strange: Rethinking the Opening – Building Max’s World and Foreshadowing the Storm

The beginning of any adaptation is crucial. It sets the tone, establishes the characters, and signals the kind of story audiences can expect. In the case of Life is Strange, the opening moments of the game are iconic, with Max Caulfield in her photography class, daydreaming, and glimpsing a terrifying flash-forward of the tornado that will eventually devastate Arcadia Bay. While this sequence is effective in the interactive game, television demands a different approach. A show cannot rely […]

Origin of the coinage of the term "Inciting incident" (The idea is from Freytag, but the term isn't coined until later). And BTW, for the PoCs out there, there is nothing fun about this one. I really suspect the author is racist. There are quiet and loud red flags. #narrativestructure

I cheated an asked NYPL Ask for help on the last two puzzle pieces on story structure. My aim is to #debunk the #Antigone diagram by giving it proper attribution.

Names and faces should help correct the course.
