A new month a new scribes and makers since I'm late here goes the first 3 in a row and the last month is linked here: https://nerdculture.de/@AnnaSaultron/114011320400283862 1.What are your goals for the month? Writing at all, instead of 10.000 aimed words I only managed 1000 in February πŸ˜… At least no edit notes included. But I also had to take my mind of anything creative with words, otherwise I probably would have produced something similar to hate speech... and trying to draw my main space ship went above that. 2.Are you inspired by nature? Please explain. Sometimes, sometimes not at all, a lot of stuff inspires me at random points of my life, I can rarely pinpoint it exactly if it isn't a person. 3.Are you more productive during long stretches of free time, or when you have to squeeze creativity into your busy life? The later definitely. ________ The Overview toot for all prompt answers of mine for March 25 is here: https://nerdculture.de/@AnnaSaultron/114084647182816482 #ScribesAndMakers 03.03.25

01.04.25 Analyze this out of context quote from obscure influencer/author SA Poscat and tell us how you feel about it. "If I wanted to do something people liked, I would post videos of someone kicking me in the nethers. Instead, I write."

No.
Why?
Simply.
I don't know the context.
I don't know enough about the person and in which context it was said.

Out of context quotation is one of the worst things I can imagine. Who ever came up with that was an reactive troll in my opinion.
Nothing & I mean nothing like in the Void between universes has no context.

As an DND player I have yelled DIE & made elaborate plans to decapitate corrupt & not so corrupt leaders at least 250 times.

I have uttered the phrase I kill XYZ more than a million times while playing Magic The Gathering.

I have said sentences that are more than disturbing as I played evil characters.

Out of context all this sounds like an evil psychopath.

03.04.25 Would you like to form a writers/creative group?

Honestly I would love to but realistically I haven't enough spoons on my drawer for that I fear
...

So Online Tags it is for me...

04.04.2025 Can you handle praise well, or do you get embarrassed and play your achievement down?

Ich mag Preiselbeeren aber nicht ihren Preis...

(I like cranberries but not their price...)

Okay I guess no bilingual German English mistranslation joke will savee from answering this.
I know praise is good and I love praising artists I like especially if their Art resonates deeply with me like my personal Heartist dasGnomo
https://www.dasgnomo.com/
Or our very own also in this tag participating @nautilebleu
Or the beautiful Art of
@JenJen
Or the work of Stjepan Sejic
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stjepan_%C5%A0eji%C4%87

All of them have one thing in common a deep feeling of connection for me.
I try to get better in giving the same praise to Actors, writers, musicians that touch my soul (was easier as I still was on Twitter before that).

But praise for me...uff for what I'm a moving chaos that needs years to finish stuff and I think I'm not really creative in that regard.πŸ™ˆ

05.04.25 If you sell your work, how do you decide on a price? Do you offer sale prices?

Haven't reached that point for writing yet. Usually if I offer my workforce for something I stay with an equivalent to the usual minimum vage per hour. This however is only a point of reference and don't forget German Taxes also applies to this even if you help a friend out and received money or money worth equivalent goods above a certain level...

So where my story will end up who knows, I know I want to offer it as low as possible but still getting something out of it at the end but that will also depend on if I publish it myself or get a publisher if that thing ever gets written. My motto for the story atm moment is an age old phone line connection service one...

Hang in there. I'm in to it.

Day six was ask the creator day.

07.04.25 Without showing it, describe something you've made or seen that is meaningful to you.

My builds in Fallout 4 & 76 (Camp & Settlement builds).
Especially the tiny home ones that are actually still functional, you need some workbenches in the games & functional in that case means that your character can still use them.

My workarounds for some glitches or bugs in Fallout 4 & Cyberpunk. Because they actually improved the gaming experience of some people. Gaming is a hobby & should keep people happy so if my understanding of the games I play(ed) helps others to have a good time, I'm happy.

The Atomcat build in Fallout 4. 61 coffee machines equal one giant cat robot, Ok projectors & speakers where used to & an unamed amount of doormats.

My latest exploit in Fallout 4 reduced a tedious useless implemented grind of manually shoving a basketball through the basket Γ—1000+ times to a quick succession of pressing 1. button like mad to an ~ hour.

08.04.25 Share a song lyric you've written or heard that resonates with you. (Give credit if it's not your song.)

To many to count because I love music and so I skip that question because answering it would be an hour of typing, searching, rephrasing, explaining etc.
Sorry but I'm absolutely not in the mood for that.πŸ˜…

You can look onto my YouTube channel (linked in my Bio) and look for the Party Playlist IF you really want to. It's an open visible list and contains a lot of songs I like to listen to almost every week for some time now.

Or look up Skynd but that is dark stuff.

#ScribesAndMakers 09.04.25

09.04.25 Are or were you taking courses for your creative activities?

No. Simply spoken im not interested because I don't learn much of shown explanations and theories. Otherwise I would have had a better life experience learning & I'm way to antagonistic to established systems like teacher > teachey.
If one sits in front of a group of people & talks theory they better have some practice too otherwise my brains sorts it as "maybe useful advise but not applicable" & files it somewhere in my brain as a footnote...

Believe me this is encumbering & I chuck it up to my experience as an Diabetic Type one getting the knowledge hammered into me since my earliest memories...
"This is important because later in live" "You need to know this because LATER...." "In the Future..."
I'm was 4 years old can you imagine what my brain did with that?
Stored it away and never touched it again because it was way to unpleasant and people alway seem getting angry...

10.04.25 Show us a book cover you like. What makes it special?

Narrowed it down to eight... That's why I didn't wanted to answer the lyrics question...

Rolling a D8 here for non roleplaying persons that's an 8 sided dice. And I will not go into much details about the content of the book.

And the roll shows a 2.

So on spot two I placed Harleen by Stjepan Sejic. A graphic novel about Harley Quinn from the DC Comics Multiverse especially around Batman. She is probably best known as the Jokers Sidekick or from the Suicide Squad Movies. Details and what makes it special to me are in the alt Text.

Addendum June 27.06.2025 Scribes & Makers.

Okay even if I'm not participating for the moment because struggle with keeping 4 prompts alive.

I have to answer to this prompt of Scribes & Makers

What?

There is only one answer to this question and it has to be answered by Tim Curry himself.

Tim Curry is escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism.

26.08.2025 Is there a song where you enjoy the sound but hate the lyrics, or vice versa?

I just need to get this out. I have read a lot of answers about styles of music, bands, artists & what people like & don't like. As a person from the Goth subculture, I find it interesting what are mentioned. What I didn't read a single time about was pop culture love songs.
What the western society interprets as a love song, is often simply racist, sexist or downright mysogynist. But yeah it sounds good.
That is why I always research interesting songs, keep an eye out for the artists & their behavior.
A lot of artists I wouldn't support anymore today. Like Rammstein or Manson. If I had more interest in charts (which are often manipulated to eternity & back) I could name more pop music ones.
But believe me shitty ashholes exist every where.

If you want something without much meaning other than people will listen to it no matter the lyrics.

I think this is the best place to share this tiny marvel of cuteness.
Yes it's the worst content form, a short on YouTube (and we know how flawed that is) but just watch this video.
Especially if you are into pottery or like cats.
