An interesting twist on this was in the 80s cartoon "Inhumanoids" where by the only way to contain the most powerful of the monsters was for his jailers to literally fly circles around him for all time. This effectively meant that his jailers had to abandon their own freedom in order to keep the evil contained.

The quest for perfection is the enemy of excellence.

Kick the dog trope was a mean or evil character.

This is fantastic!! thank you!!

I cannot imagine having to deal with such stresses. Donated, I hope others will be able to help you through this hard time.

You keep getting crappy deals but you keep trying. That is very admirable.

fyi: last night I was binging your trope videos again.

While I can't imagine how difficult that was for you it is wonderful that you were able to care for her at home so she was in familiar surroundings and with her family instead of just "staff".

I will share... take care.

Your voice is so soothing

How does this vid have so few comments despite being so good?

Hey man from what movie the image of the guy holding on a book at 0:43 is ? ( Weird i know but i’m actually a character designer lol that’s why )

I’ve been thinking of how to imprison an evil wizard in his own magic mirror, chisel off a piece of the mirror, and hide it somewhere far away from where his previous battle happened. Would it count? Or would it be better to split the mirror into more than one piece and scatter them all across the world?

So relieved to see you back, I was worried what had happened to you.

Something I have thought of was subtitling alien speech and the words understood by the English speaker are in English and the rest is, well, not - this would allow for gradually more understanding as time went on and would give the viewer [or reader as the case may be] the experience that the human character has of only knowing bits of the words.

Great job putting this together

This concept is fascinating, you explain it brilliantly.Thank you so much !

THE BRITISH EMPIRE

Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you are okay.

I like plot armor, but I also want to write down to Earth stories.

so it's kind of like breaking the fourth wall?

Ah. This is Madara vs Shinobi Alliance. And Madara vs 5 Kage. I believe the answer to the conservation of ninjitsu problem is teamwork! Eventually you reach a number where eyes start to glaze over based on the scale of combinations or team-ups. If you bring 7 or 8 members of a team in, then the audience (and writer) literally cannot keep track of them all, and some of the teammates will either be taken out, or vanish from frame like in Avengers Endgame when Dr Strange got relegated to holding up some water. From my general observations, 1 or 3 or 5 is basically the same ballpark. So the question you really need to ask is “do I put more or less than 10 combatants on the same field?” Two teams of 5 clashing is going to necessitate that abilities become much more simple to compensate for scale. Or else require a scaled amount of time to digest every aspect of the abilities on display and their interactions.

Tanj, I didn't fraking learn grunky thing.

Then Infinity War came out a year later

I am sorry to hear of your situation, hopefully it will get better and you'll be where you'd like to be. Honestly I can't wait for one of your work-in-progress scripts to come out. Give them life whenever you feel comfortable doing it. Perfection is in the details, and you have my respect for that. Just don't burn your creativity out for the sake of your standards for yourself: release your workings when you feel okay with them. Cheers!

Also have you ever heard of the philosophy of Kintsugi before? That concept had really helped with my mental health in tough times and with creating art in general! As well as the 70% rule Here's some videos on them! (Also side note, you should really make an ASMR channel! Your voice is really calming and relaxing!) czcams.com/video/lT55_u8URU0/video.html czcams.com/video/fiK0L-onvks/video.html czcams.com/video/SxA69uUGEUI/video.html czcams.com/video/fqlrL7zLNak/video.html czcams.com/video/xOJr1dTPSis/video.html

The George Lucas concept is really interesting actually! That's a new perspective I never thought of before. I'm going to try that with my art! Making a piece now and reiterating it later but with a more expanded world view. I feel like that it won't even be a redo at that point, but something more/new that's simply using the old piece as a base/starting point!

Nice to know that things have improved somewhat and my sympathies to your personal and family situation. I hope things get better, nobody deserves to struggle with the problems you face. Take the time you need to get everything in order, I am not going anywhere and your work is always appreciated.

There is one fanfic written by a professional author Seth Dickenson called "Mission of Honor Retold" that nailed balancing the epic scale of interstellar conflict with the personal and philosophical conflicts and themes. He took the base conflict that transpired between the Solarian League and the Star Empire of Manticore and made both sides and their characters have nuanced, plausible, understandable and sympathetic motives and beliefs that drive them into conflict as events begin to spiral out of control. And with the Solarian's being actually very threatening in this retelling, (having shown themselves more than cannon-fodder like in canon, having killed a number of characters) that alone adds a sense of emotion and tension the later Honorverse books lacked. And when the surprise Mesan orbital relativistic attacks on Manticore and Grayson occur, the details and description of the raw power of the physics and geopolitical thought behind the attacks, combined with character POV's of witnesses and survivors lend it a horror like quality. (he did the research and math behind the destructive physics and that immersion really helps) Every characters decisions and actions and reactions affects and drives the plot, which combined with brilliantly woven in themes and concepts of international relations and power politics reminiscent of current international struggles gives it a verisimilitude that makes the epic and grand, astonishingly relatable. We see both the big picture affects reflected in the characters and can also read and sense how serious things are. An excellent video that describes something I have noted for a while now. Having also completed Halo Infinite, I must admit to being tired of lone hero faces down big, unimaginable danger of epic proportions. Yes I should not expect what I wrote about MoH Retold in a power fantasy FPS game, but from what I have read and seen else where, such big epics get old unless they are done well.

I look forward to your future videos but you need to take care of yourself first. We'll be here whenever you get another one together.

After my fiance died I could not afford the house alone. Ended up homeless for several months. My 2 cats and myself sleeping in my work truck which was mostly full of my tools.

Glad to hear you're okay (more or less). Hope you find good doctors there and get the help you need.

Loving your unedited videos!

so cool thanks

People can't comprehend the climate crisis as altering weather across the entire planet. They can't be bothered to recycled because that is a personal inconvenience.

I remember trying to explain to someone the problem of understanding the social psychology of people regarding the world and the internet. The short of it is, "People are stupid!" The problem stems from not understanding scale. So I attempted to elucidate the scale issue. Home - for a very large part of your life, this is the entirety of the world. This is the summation of our comprehension. Right and wrong only matters in-so-much as your actions don't offend the gawds reigning from on high, their names be mom and dad. Neighborhood - this is not necessarily just your neighbors; the grocery store, the school, the church, etc can be included. These sectors have been pulled into your world for some reason or other, it doesn't matter, these are now things that you comprehend as existing. Town - for the vast majority of your life, this is the world, all of it. Beyond your town are places you visit for some odd reason, they kind of exist, but you have to think on it for a bit. Your country - it's part of your town... you think... but it's out there... somewhere. You're patriotic in that your country's name is on your money, so if you have to take sides, that's the side you choose. The world - it's in a laptop... in your home... and you can dictate to it your demonstrably objective morals and truth, and you can turn it off at night. People are stupid!

In the book empire of the sands the bad guy thought he could use the protagonists ability to rule the world. And he almost succeeded because she became bound to serve him. That's where the outer stakes lie to see if she eventually gives in. However the inner stakes is that when she does its on her terms and in her own way that destroys his kingdom.

From my novel: "You're not going to tell me I'm 'the chosen one' are you?" "I chose you. Does that count?"

Now I need to hear your colorful backstory.

A rude awakening I got when I self-published my first book was the limitations of ebooks. They don't allow nearly the same freedom with formatting that print books do. As much as I love what Pratchett did in Jingo, it simply isn't replicable in an ebook outside of dry and static PDF documents. I wouldn't recommend copying Jingo unless you never plan to publish an ebook version.

Thank you, I'm really appreciating your type of videos

I think a good exemple of a pretty good "chosen one" is miles Morales from spidervers because it pretty much says that there isn't a chosen one everyone could be the chosen one!!! And on the other end I think Harry Potter is not awful but still a bad use of the trope

You mentioned early that you write fantasy and had no basis for diabetes narrative. Your diabetes trope, is not as non-existent as you think. It's just not talked about. czcams.com/video/i9RDaf8j2Yg/video.html

This was very educational!! I never knew just how crazy Type 1 really is! I knew it was bad but not like this! I also really liked your analogy with art and chance btw! I keep forgetting that life is chaotic and that variables will always exist in every situation. This lowkey gave me a bit of paradigm shift!

This is a video that I made months ago before the move to California and shortly before I created the Type One Writer secondary series. Life got in the way so I was not able to upload it at the time, but while I was working on a new trope video I came across this in my Learning the Tropes folder, and even though it now feels like it maybe should be a Type One Writer video, I remembered how proud I was of how it came out and I knew that I needed to finally put it on the channel. Thank you for baring with the difficulties and the lack of content, hopefully I can do more videos out now that I at least have a half decent place to record again.

Life has been busy on my end so I have rather slowly been going through your videos, they can be a bit rambly but they are informative. My heart and sympathies go out for you, such stories are sadly all too common these days. I hope things turn around in good time.

Wow! Sorry things have been so horrible for you. I get part of it. After my fiance died I ended up homeless for three months. I was sleeping in the garage of a empty house where I had been working on the property so I had the garage door code but did not have keys to the house.

Absolutely my heart goes out to you dude. Praying for ya, and if you launch a go fund me I’ll happily donate. Your videos are so charming and informative because of how sincere and optimist you portrayed yourself, so please keep that spirit up as best you can. Take care my guy.

thank you❤️

I have started looking for help to improve my writing skills and found your channel today.. Thanks man for your videos..💜 really helpful to me.. You're an awesome man..🔥
