    Me coming up with ideas for a massive fanfiction series set in the post season 3 Transformers Animated universe expanding on tons of ancillary media-only characters and bringing closure to the series, making countless references and homages to the entire franchise and its enormous roster of characters and concepts along the way, spanning both rejected or otherwise unrealized episodes of the original series and entirely new stories, made up of one-shots and multi-chapter storylines all connected through an underlying plotline teasing a new faction of villains composed of various forgotten Decepticons that come attacking Cybertron in a spectacular final chapter: Also me being stuck on a single story for months, desperately trying to figure out how time travel works in a logical and non self-contradicting way and why the villains would want to use it just because I wanted to force a non-Prime Animated version of Vector Prime barely resembling the original character into an already existing storyline about travelling to a dark future:

    If a story is good, spoilers will not ruin it, if it is bad, not spoiling will not make it better, if someone wants to look as spoilers they shouldn’t feel guilty about it. However, don’t spoil stuff for people without their consent.

    You want bleak Type 1? 'The Killing Star', Charles R. Pellegrino and George Zebrowski. It is surreal and depressing. One of the things I find interesting about many modern Sci-Fi writers... They want to portray a future human race as fully integrated and homogenized. You know what happens if that happens? We die out. Our diversity is our greatest strength, and homogenization would eliminate that strength.

    While reading WoT for the first time after the end of each book I treated myself by going throueh the reddit "Memeing every chapter of Wheel of Time" archive for the corresponding book. Were some things spoiled? Yes. Do I regret it? Slightly. Was I going through a really stressful and isolating time in my life and I just really needed the feeling of community and laughs? Absolutely.

    I spoiled Santa for myself at age 5 when I recognized my mom's handwriting and I've been unbothered by spoilers since. They either help me not waste my time or confirm that my time is being well spent. I spoiled a big chunk of ASOIF and Malazan, which helped me choose which one to sink my time into (Malazan ofc).

    This truly proves that when somethings put into words, it's not the putting into words part that makes it bad... It's the struggle to translate it properly into words, and if you get past that, it's the difficulty of translating it into a story - as in, cramming in all these concepts in a manner that is... comprehensible and evident to the audience? But I still struggle with the putting shit into words part. 3:08 Yay! The big part!

    I never really got the thing with spoilers, unless there's some huge twist that totally changes and recontextualises everything that goes before it, because: If I'm not sure whether or not I want to read a book, part of the process of deciding that is to flip _straight to the end_ and see what it looks like. I even have categories for it! They are, in order of interest level, 'Disorganised and flat', 'Open-ended', 'Clear resolution', 'Clear non-resolution', 'Clearly unhinged', 'I have no idea what that was supposed to be', and 'Ooh stop reading that, this book has major twists in'. It's not even so much about knowing the specific trajectory of a story, as being reassured that it's going to _have_ a trajectory. Not that trajectory is everything; some of my favourite books are meanders, but they are more effort to follow and if you don't _love_ them... (the narration was then resumed by a side character who writes in a different style and follows up on almost none of the previous plot threads) Just spoil yourself a little, it's fine; most story structures are complex enough that it doesn't impact the experience much. (Don't do it with mysteries though.)

    As examples: - Disorganised and flat: 'But then they decided to get married anyway, and the kingdom rejoiced. Everyone was happy.' - Open-ended: 'As for what became of the Princess and the stable-boy - well, that's too much to get into here; our story is ending, but theirs was only just beginning' - Clear resolution: 'And the young Duke, having discovered his lost inheritance, stood before the Princess and asked her for her hand - and they were married in the spring; and they lived a rich and happy life, but never forgot that first meeting by the stables - and all the humble people of the realm prospered for their remembering it' - Clear non-resolution: 'And so, the Princess and the stable-boy were married in the spring - though, not to one another, as such a union would not be possible in their times (or indeed for many years to come). The stable-boy wedded sweet Anne, from the village over the hill; the rest of their tale is lost to history. The Princess - having shown in no uncertain terms that she could not be brought under another's will - assented to marry with the young Duke of Lausenbing-Burgholtz, gentle of disposition, and with personal stakes in a great many key imports for the kingdom.' - Clearly unhinged: 'The Prince-Of-Stables, having shocked the realm at the discovery of his true heritage, decided to shock the realm yet again by laying a proposal of marriage before the Princess; they were wed in the summer, and the fame and infamy of the new King and his glorious and terrible sister-wife Queen only grew and grew, shaking the very foundations of civilised society on the continent with their passion and aggression, in politics and in love.' - I have no idea: 'The delegation from the frog-people having departed a week prior, the old pirate crew took stock with each other. Was it time to return to the kingdom? Or perhaps there was some truth in that old rumour of the lost treasure of the Space Amazons... and who was better positioned to find out, with their blend of psychedelic scrying and hyper-dance-fighting' - Oops, huge twists: 'The armies of the Duke - his estranged father - stood arrayed before the erstwhile stable-boy, across the river, awaiting battle. Beside him stood his comerade-in-arms, his beauty, his love, his outlaw Prince; they'd defied greater odds than this and succeeded, so what was one more battle? Together, they drew swords. They roared for battle. And charged.'
