a truck just stopped in the middle of the road in front of the house and they turned their headlights off wtf
they got out of the car with flashlights and walked the road and one of them in in the front yard now. they didn’t hit anything what are they doing??
hold the fuck up dudes there’s some shit going down hold up
okay okay hold on one of the guys lives down the street okay I feel a lot better now bc i know him
they came to the house so i grabbed one of my dads handguns and hid it in my waistband and when i answered the door the neighbor guy was asking for my dad but its just me here and okay all 3 of them looked SHOOK and they were like “uh there was some skinny naked dude running around in the road can we use the landline to call 911” bc theres no cell service out here and what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck
they described the guy as having shoulder length bleach blonde hair and that’s what one of the neighbors across the street looks like so i tried calling them and no one answered and so i called dad and he’s on his way home
911 is going to come by and sweep the woods
the police still haven’t shown up and okay dad just got home and was like “you hit him???” and neighbor dude was like “no???????” and dad was like “your car’s been hit” and so we all went and looked and the truck they parked in the road has been PROPER fucked by something like it’s been hit by something one of the headlights is in the ditch now and it’s leaking antifreeze but that doesn’t make sense bc no one’s been down this road it’s a dirt backroad and no one’s been down it since they turned the truck off and none of us heard anything hit it??????? i am freaked the FUCK out right now i am shaking so bad we’re waiting in the house for the police
ALSO I JUST REALIZED there’d be skid marks if the truck was hit right??? there werent any. there werent any fucking skid marks oh my god
AN officer showed up and you could tell he was super apprehensive to search the woods alone after seeing the truck and hearing what happened so neighbor guy got his rifle out of his truck and dad grabbed one of his rifles and i still have the handgun and we’re preparing to search the woods because i do not want to be in the house alone and fuck my adrenaline is pumping and im worried because if it is my neighbor???? he’s a friend of the family??? and like what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck
we were out there for like 30 minutes and we found a trail of bare footprints and like broken branches and stuff like someone came stumbling through and there was one stick near the end of the trail that had broken and it had blood on the end of it and then the footprints just fucking stop. like there weren’t any trees within jumping distance or anythigng and the footprints just fuckign stopped and like every thign was dead silent the wind had stopped there weren’t any coyote noises or anythig it was just completely dead quiet and we got the fuckout of there because like it was so creepy and we went back to the house the blonde guy owns and his car wasn’t even there he’s not even home no one’s home im freakign the fuck out because who was it then
the police officer left and was like “just call if you see him again” and the neighbor and his two dudes left and its just me and dad now and its like eerily quiet in the house because honestly what the fuck… what the fucking fuck was that.., he said after he calms down a minute he’s gonna try to call our neighbor again and after that call the neighbors sister to see if she knows where he is
oh and yeah yeah they were able to start up the truck and they drove it home and they’re gonna take it in to a shop in the morning to see if anyone could figure out what the fuck happened to it
dad got ahold of his sister and he’s in fucking massachusetts visiting family for the holidays who was that in the fucking road
Okay okay when we woke up in the morning both of us has weird scratches on our arms and hands and i even had one on my nose that were like all bloody and like it couldn’t have been the woods because we wore coats and gloves????????? and neither of us have blood under our fingernails?? and we went and looked out where the truck was and there was nothing of note that we missed in the dark but when we went to find the trail again it was just gone. it hadn’t snowed or rained or anything and the stick with the blood was gone??? like someone came back and just took it?? what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck
Write a lot of one shots and try to make them different and interesting. It helped me with both plot and how to end a story, limiting how long I could go and how many words I could use.
The dragon collapsed, mortally wounded. The knight fell to his knees, unable to slow his tears. The princess watched in shock, her eyes filling with tears.
So I heard this story second-hand, many years ago, but the gist was that a friend of a friend lived in what was generally considered a bad neighborhood, because he was a super poor college student and it was what he could afford. He didn’t have any furniture, he just slept on a blanket on the floor and had a milk crate for a chair and like an old wire spool as a table. No TV, nothing in the fridge, no microwave, basically just bare walls and a roof to keep the weather off. So one day he comes home, and there’s a man in his apartment, just standing there, with this look of utter amazement and horror on his face, and he turns to the guy who’s just entered and says, “This your place? ‘cause I broke in to rob you, but shit, man, you ain’t got nothin’. Wait here, I’m’a be right back.” And the burglar left, leaving a puzzled college student alone in his empty apartment. But sure enough, the burglar came back a while later, and brought some friends, and they delivered a table, a couple of chairs, and a small TV. “I think I got you a bed, too, but that might take a couple days.”
So, the poor college student made some friends. And he didn’t ask where they got the stuff.
The Good Samaritan Burglar and his band of merry men
Lucy is actually the main character. Instead of her teaming up with Natsu instantly, Lucy spends a lot more time with the other members of the guild on a rotating character roster, giving Lucy a more emotional connection to every member of the guild, and them emotional connections to each other. Lucy being welcomed to the guild by Team Shadow Gear, or Cana. Lucy, Cana and Levy making Juvia welcome. Lucy teaming up with Lisanna, or Mira, or Loke.
Natsu goes looking for Igneel. For something that drives Natsu so much, Natsu actually looking for Igneel is something we barely see. For the most part if dragons are mentioned, Igneel is mentioned, but the search is never brought up. Have us travel Fiore alongside Natsu. Have us care about Igneel.
The team spends time on jobs.Have jobs be important plot points. Have the team travel the continent and meet new people and see new places. Have missions into dungeons that house dangerous creatures, have missions for the team to exterminate deadly monsters and dangerous wizards. Have the team actually struggle. More importantly, have them fail. See them fall down, stand back up, work hard and try again. Have the team work their way up to S class quests, 10 year quests, an 100 year quest. They have goals, and they reach them.
Gray, Ultear and Lyon working together. Ultear and Lyon teaming up to try and find Gray in the seven year timeskip. Ultear and Lyon trying to avenge Ur. Ultear and Lyon determined to defeat Zeref, for Ur’s sake, and Gray going with them ‘to make sure they don’t get into any trouble’. Gray supporting them not because he wants revenge, but because he wants to keep them safe.
Jellal dies at the end of the Tower of Heaven arc, and Mystogan gets to shine instead. Whether this means that Mystogan is still from Edolas, or it makes use of the “Jellal’s twin brother thread” instead is details, but it gives us a powerful character that uses item magic (of which we don’t see many) of a fairly unique variety, and a character without magic standing at the top of the hill. We get the Erza-Mira-Laxus-Mystogan-Gildarts all star team, which – be honest with yourself, you wanted to see at least once.
The Magic Council gets focus as the corrupt, imperfect organisation that it is. The Ten Wizard Saints are terrifying and we can see it, and a milestone for a lot of young wizards.
The next generation of Guild Masters start to phase in. It begins with Sting as Sabertooth’s guildmaster, Erza or Lucy as Fairy Tail’s. Hibiki or Jenny in Blue Pegasus, Lyon and Kagura in Lamia Scale and Mermaid Heel. The guild alliance gets closer and more ironclad. There’s a more tangible support network across the country. We spend more time with the other guilds, and we see the characters connect and grow up and make the future a better place.
Concept: me, spending time with my closest friends. We’re all in the kitchen while I’m cooking dinner, my apartment is cozy and it smells delicious. It’s raining outside and we’re all laughing, with no stress.
