(ten days mourning the loss of the previous one, ten days welcoming the new one) Might change this to 8 days actually. I feel like 8 would be the ‘nice, round number’ with the base-8 counting system of most Monster World languages (rather than the base-10 that’s more widespread with us five fingered humans)
BirbMonster Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 Looking at things going on in my own story and being like 'what the hell are they being racist to the homeless teenager they found in an abandoned building' (also wow teaser) Quote - - - - - - I need to get out- they thought, scrambling up from their spot and back to the centre of the room, where sparse raindrops were falling in from the gaping hole in the ceiling. They leapt, as high as they could, but as usual, grabbing the ledge. But instead of managing to haul themselves up, their fingers happened to catch onto rain-soaked metal, slipping and hitting the ground in a painful crash. “Hey, did you hear that?” They heard one of the voices say, finally clear enough to make out each word. “I bet there’s someone else in here! Or another dirty stray critter. C’mon, let’s check it out,” They hauled themselves up, briefly struggling and trying to ignore the pain in their ankle that the fall had caused. Hearing the footsteps become even louder, they prepared themselves for another jump. “Check that out,” They whipped around with a yelp- the voices had seemed closer than they thought. The one to have spoken belonged to a Reedling, who was followed by two Drumplers and a Mammott. They all looked older than Harassment, for sure, but none could be any older than nineteen. “You talk?” One of them grunted. Then another made some sort of hollering, growling sound, and the rest burst out laughing. “What are you doing in here? Not living in some cave? Where’s your… clan? Tribe? Pack? What do you call them?” “What’s all this stuff?” Another piped up, gesturing at the heaps of papers. “Is this stolen?” “No way its not,” They remained silent- quite used to these kinds of comments, but not used to saying anything about them.

She’s still 15 today if I remember her birthday correctly) -I have this weird mix of wanting to find her again because I haven’t had any real friendships outside my family since her but also being low-key afraid to because of thinking it’ll be awkward -I don’t even know if she lives in the same town anymore. Could be on the other side of the country or further for all I know

BirbMonster Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 Trying to figure out how I can more clearly incorporate the theme of control and oppression into my OC Lucky's backstory His friends, all interdimensional travellers, had something controlling them: Toxic relationship Abusive parent Corrupt government Cult And their travel between dimensions is all about having broken free from that control. However, Lucky's life is a bit of an outlier. He's a single father with a job he hates. Perhaps the control here is simply the pressure of his everyday life, or his grief holding him back from forming meaningful relationships- but it still somehow doesn't fit in with the rest. I'm just trying to incorporate more clear themes and symbolism into these characters these days. A lot of their backstories were conceptialised in spring/summer of 2023, but I never posted about any of them. I've matured a lot since then, which is why I'm readapting their lore these days. Exploring the things their stories could be in a more serious way, not just throwing things together.
BirbMonster Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 A QUESTION: Does anyone know like. Good audios/memes I can make short clips of my OCs with (sort of like this one) Because I want to drum up some attention to my channel and I think funny shorts are a good way to do that. Capture the doomscrollers.

BirbMonster Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 LMAOOO My phone just broke spacetime Essentially I realised my phone was missing and I hadn't seen it since I got home from school a few hours ago. So I was tearing the house apart looking for it, getting other people to call it so I could follow the ringtone (couldn't hear it anywhere), naturally I was freaked out because I was starting to worry that I'd left it on the bus home But then it just suddenly turned up in the bathroom. Which was really weird because: -I NEVER take my phone into the bathroom. I'm not a toilet scroller -I had already been in there a few minutes ago and it 100% wasn't there then -It was almost out of battery when I got home from school but when I found it it was suddenly charged up I feel like it had a little adventure in the few hours I wasn't looking 2
BirbMonster Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 I want people who haven't seen the film to watch this
BirbMonstwo Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Tips on talking to people 🙏? Like how do I speak. Everyone at my school is either really annoying or just a stranger how do I like. Y’know. Find people. And talk to them.
BirbMonster Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Is there anyone you know from an old school/something else where they weren't really your friend but you wonder how they're doing today because you renember them clearly for a very specific reason? For me it's this one girl from the same school as the person I talked about a few days ago but uhh this one: -Obbsessed with Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, she had the biggest crush on him -Also liked Ed Sheeran but that might've been a different girl because her entire friend group liked Ed Sheeran -Biggest thing is that she kept continuously calling me cute and I absolutley hated her for it as a kid...no clue whether she was just babying me because I've always been the smallest person my age... or what?
