It is not any sort of insulting name you call it.
It is a baby. A young, inexperienced baby that might throw up on your shirt and cause you to lose sleep at night but you love it all the same and will patiently feed it and tuck it into bed at night with a kiss no matter what happens.
You do not call a baby stupid or awful because they are new to the world and do not have the ability or knowledge to function on their own. Instead, you nurture and teach them so they grow up smart and strong and capable.
Such it is with a first draft. A first draft is not bad because it needs care and attention. Don’t insult it because it is newly written down with ideas that are not yet fully formed. In fact, that is the reason why it is AMAZING. It’s a DRAFT! The FIRST one for the story! LOOK at it! It exists! It is ALIVE! And it is YOURS, this story you made.

Even if there is a small chance…we owe this to everyone to try. We will. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes Whatever it takes.

I think my cat has a sound kink.
So just over a year ago, i posted a dialogue capture from SWTOR of a bit of ambient dialogue on Corellia where, in the middle of a war zone, a father complains to a soldier that the animals have escaped from the zoo. This man’s neighbors are apparently dying all around him, and all he can complain about is his own inconvenience. Unexpectedly, it became my most popular post ever based on Tumblr’s “Notes”. I’ve done a hundred ambient dialogue captures since then, and i still haven’t quite replicated it. I’ve re-posted the screen-caps here, along with the actual video & audio.
I saw this again the other day, and I couldn’t help but think of Covid. There are people in the real world who are just like this father. Covid is actually contagious. Comparing it to things like heart disease - or getting hit by a car walking across the street - is a ridiculous comparison. When i first saw this over a year ago, i thought it was chiefly a reference to parents complaining about violence in video games, because it gave them something to complain about. Now i think it was trying to warn us. People are crazy.
