Hi there, Ducks!
Recently I’ve been utterly immersed in writing this story that is building up to be a serial story taking place in the same setting as my comics. It is set up to be sort of a prequel to one of the comics, exploring and showcasing the ...

Forced Together
Banes at 12:00AM, June 6, 2024
A tried and true story trope is the “forced together”.
I think it was the director Sidney Lumet who said that he really enjoyed the tension that came from

So your villain has just made a heel-face turn and is now one of the good guys. Yay!
…not so fast!
The moment where an antagonist turns on their own side and joins that of the protagonists is extremely powerful. But unless it is part of the overall story's ...

Your shadow growing to blacken the sky
Unfilling the vaccum we rotate inside

Sealed by the heavenly ocean we´ve seen to forget

And not necessarily at opposing ends of the spectrum. The same person can be compassionate in one context and appallingly cruel in another. They may not ...
