Badly's an adverb

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

i definitely do stuff like that too, and it's strange to look back on a lot of my own writing and spot the common threads that i'm interested in

i think only recently did i realise that a lot of my stuff has to do with people losing agency and power over themselves, and there's usually some form of obsession or dependency for another person or an idea that's also common in the characters i choose to pick up

i was also thinking something along the lines of the OPs for sayonara zetsubou sensei (the best example is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FDrjgbKayo) which are just full of things that likely hold zero significance but also things that seem very much like foreshadowing (although the question of whether it was intentional is a big one)

we are creatures of habit so i'm sure that we create themes and messages without knowing it until way later down the road, especially things that seem to have little significance. creativity is so interesting and strange that way

maybe there were some things in the opening they looked at and realized would work in the story or they had the seeds planted there and didn't know completely what it was until it grew, they sort of scattered things here and there (some with meaning and some without) and harvested it into something they could use
