Well, now you've got my attention. Tell me more of this, "Broken Sword" thing of yours.

i just asked for a bottle of whiskey and a pack of my favorite small cigars because im broke and want to enjoy myself on newyears

my mom said something in passing that hit deep though. we were talking about getting her surgery for her detached retina but she said she would wait because it would cost too much money before Christmas. so basically she is putting off being able to see properly and live a normal life to make sure everyone can have a good Christmas

i can already feel that this is going to be a really really hard winter unless I can shake the complete demoralization Im feeling

Honestly, anon, it's not easy. But there is a cheat code of sorts. You probably have issues that are important to you, fears and ambitions that keep you up at night or make you froth with rage or leave you restless, even if subconsciously so (in which case do some honest self-examination to find them).

One such issue for me, for example, is a struggle with integrity, and some kind of paranoid fear that I might be lying to myself in an attempt to ease my conscience. This is an abstract issue, but you can give it narrative form, to make it concrete. What's a situation that could exemplify someone lying to themselves to ease their conscience? Anything will do, so long as you give it form in term of people and action.

Once you've come up with a situation, you should then ask questions at your story and at your characters. WHY does the person feel a conflict now? WHO is this person? HOW did he get in there? WHY is this important? WHAT are his alternatives, and WHAT are the consequences of taking those? You're essentially feeding yourself leads to conduct your writing, and once it's on paper, it's much easier to rework than it is to start from scratch.

That's my process, at least, and even then I still struggle, so don't be harsh on yourself.

No, I'm approaching it purely from a eugenic perspective, but I do know of the instability of hapas. Perhaps it can be avoided somehow, perhaps there needn't be a hapa rage. Let me dream, anon, let me dream of the perfect race. Both cruel and just, strong and fair, without the weaknesses of the two individual people.

Their children will probably be put together in labs in the future, maybe they can fix the flaws of the hapa then and build the great conqueror, the next step for man, reared to rule the stars.
