I felt betrayal. My expectations were set, yet the way you met them subverted them to making me change them. A quick video to make me reflect on my thinking.👍
I was doing something similar with characters, recently. Simplifying all the traits I had come up with down to a single metaphor like "the highwire dancer" or "the pirate admiral." Not literally what they are, but trying to encapsulate the tone of their personality so I can remember it more easily while writing. I don't know if it works yet, though. The ones I came up with didn't imply any change, so they don't say anything about the character arcs, for example.
Oh this is interesting! I got this idea of the 'core vision' from game design rather than writing - if you watch interviews you'll eventually stumble upon it. But, as you might imagine, character writing is quite different in games. For how long have you been using those sentences you mentioned?
@@JoriamRamos Unfortunately, not long at all! They're for a project I'm still outlining. In the last project, my characters didn't feel quite complete until late into editing, so I'm trying to get ahead of that this time. (So I can't actually recommend the strategy yet, I don't know how well it will work.) I was thinking of it sort of like giving the character a "funny hat" to distinguish them quickly, but for the benefit of the author instead of the audience.
Nice, I've been doing something similar. Simplifying the character to their core being really makes it easier to remember what they're about and avoid too big deviations when writing. Usually it's tied to a distinct physical descriptor too. Being able to "see" who they are makes them much easier to understand. I.e. "the mercenary with 'a face as weathered and brown as an old oak,'" would tell me he's a robust old man who's seen some stuff and desires to protect the ones around him. And then whatever he says and does would be rooted in that. If I had to dissect it's like breaking them down into symbols. To me: "Mercenary" implies strength and fighting spirit. "Oak" also means strength, but also protectiveness, warmth and wisdom. "Weathered" means having gone through tough times and triumphed. "Old" survived for a long time. "In the face" because the face is usually the first thing you notice about a person, implying he's upfront and courageous. Normally I don't actively think about the "symbols" in such detail, and just go for what "feels right" or makes the character "pop" in my mind. Kind of similar to using Lyra's Golden Compass, I imagine.
Great advice! I have been getting frustrated with internet writing advice lately...they all seem to be biased and too heavily structured. In other cultural traditions, it's not all about eg. the 3 act structure and character arcs. For example, in Indian aesthetics, the purpose of any art is to invoke emotion, exactly as you say, though the theory goes into far more detail about secondary and even tertiary emotions. The language of Indian writing is also influenced by this: for instance the emotional mode of peace and beauty is delivered by beautiful descriptions of nature. Sometimes, there is nothing familiar to the Western mind in Indian mythology like character arcs: the hero is good the whole time, because how to become good is not as important as feeling inspired by his righteousness. I think this is important with fantasy especially, since it is meant to be a modernization of mythology. Mythology (at least still-living mythology like in Hinduism as opposed to Greek) isn't primarily about entertainment of the stories, spectacle of magic system, or even the Greek teaching that art should be used for state propaganda. Rather art is an appreciation of human experience, such as emotions, which almost never follow strict logic progressions and templates in how they are expressed. That is what is missing from the writing and worldbuilding of fantasy and related genres for me. Glad to see this video moving past this!
i didnt even realize until now how much my story is built on curiosity of new things until this video. i kinda went with the flow and didnt really think deeper about it. but now that i have a better picture i can focus on making that experience even better for my player
Hey I'm happy to hear that! You know what could really help you out? Have a look at the MDA framework, it's a game design staple. GMTK and Extra Credits have good videos about it. If curiosity is at the heart of your world, then 'Discovery' is defo your final aesthetic ;) and you can find other games and campaigns that also used it!
I loved this video! It filled me with the childlike wonder of exploration. The feeling when you open a new box of crayons, a feeling of endless possibility. Thank you, this evoked a lot of wonder, motivation, and excitement in me.
You know, Kitlanna, I've been saying for years now that my whole life is devoted to wonder - so thank you for saying what you said :) it makes me feel I'm on the right track Also welcome to the channel!
A metaphor for this video, huh? I think I can do that. This video felt like putting on a new glasses prescription for the first time, and feeling everything pop into hyperclarity. You know that this experience will end however; that your vision will adjust and get used to this new lense. All you can hope is to take that and still maintain that clear-sightedness and use it far into the future.
Ooooooh, I know this feeling all too well! When you look at a tree and all the leaves come out of the previous green blob 😂 Great metaphor! Welcome to the channel :)
i opened youtube to search up world building and this was on my homepage; I haven't ever seen your channel and I hadn't searched my question yet, so this was quite ironic haha. Very satisfying, thanks so much for this! this video made me feel as satisfied as when I have the perfect amount of blocks for my Minecraft build. (or a plot hole fixes itself)
The emotion state I felt during the video: A kind of back-and-forth emotional sine-wave with the the valleys feeling like a sped-up version of Bob Ross' calm helpfulness, and the peaks feeling like micro-anxiety as if my art teacher was explaining something i should already know to me in an energetic loud voice but without outright shouting.
This video just popped into my feed, and now I must watch all your channel, that makes me feel angry because you have a lot of videos that look super good and I don't know where to start.
Thank you 😂 Can I give you some guidance? Start with the Kiki's Delivery Service one, then go for 'The luggage' one. If you wanna go real real deep, try the Piranesi or the Night Circus ones.
@@OnyxHC Hey, I've been writing mine for the past 3 years and I can... gosh! What a process. I never spent so much time and love and energy into any art project. Also never got so much insight back - and it's not even done! You should really try it :)
Slowly melting scepticism when faced with a new voice. I think you won me over in the end on that one. A lot of the emotions I ended up assigning have direct correlates in what main characters are feeling in my writing (awkwardness of having emotions, anarchic play or a sort of religious grief over the world) so I'll need to revisit that to see how much I've identified the cores of the story and how much those are just 'the emotion that drives the protagonist' but practice makes perfect.
I was held captive by my own curiosity as I imagined how to implement your words in my own way - it felt as though I was in a world of my own, surrounded by soapy thought bubbles sailing through the air and vying for attention. Each contains a world of knowledge, wonder, promises of adventures, or stories of cloudy, rainy days. All at my fingertips, but not yet in my grasp.
"The whisper of a nigh-forgotten piece of knowledge passing through my right ear and into my mind. With it, a promise of new beginning" That's my metaphor
I had that hamster thing happen. Kid hamster stuck his head in-between the spools of a wheel while mommy hamster was having a run. It dislodged at the socket like a lego piece. I don't think she ever noticed or realized. I mostly felt sadness, though maybe also anger at the world. It was an existential crisis of sorts. Only buy hamster wheels which have one entrance, so no supports go across the wheel.
Yikes, Pan, that sounds horrifying, I'm sorry to hear that. I also had some horror experiences with hamsters - honestly... so bad I won't even mention here 😬
I’ve been doing this somewhat already, so it’s nice to see it put into words shortly and sweetly. I need to remember to come back here when I’m going through my edits so I can make the emotions, strong and cohesive through the last stretch of work.
this was a super fun video! helped me step back and reevaluate how to right my own story. I'd say the vibe of this video felt like a kitten discovering it's paws. hopefully that works!
@@JoriamRamos In that it helped me discover “The Morning after Mourning” as the emotional root for the world I’m working on, it was quite productive! Thank you!
@@JoriamRamos As a game setting. It is a story set to create heroes in a time long after a great magical calamity, whose scars could still be felt in this worlds present fantasy) day
@@CBG232x5 I love that tabletop worlds have to be ready for 1000 stories - I feel it helps creators such as yourself to really flesh out what matters over there :) Writers have the advantage of hyper focus on just a series of events.
My story is about someone who discovers that none of the two sides of the war are good or evil and that they're just different., Maybe the emotion would be acceptance, or understanding, or openness, or forgiveness, I don't know yet.
this gave me a very nice point of view on the world im building, a lynchpin to help tie its themes together. i look forward to watching more of your vids and completely random side note, you look a great deal like cid from ff12 take that as you will
sorry 😂 I had a version of the video where I said 'metaphors and similes' in every instance, but it just sounded more dragged I chose cool over precise - what can I say? I am a fantasy writer through and through
My metaphor: I feel like a man who was given a roll of toilet paper even though I dont need it at exactly this moment. I can definitelysee the potential.
How your video made me feel: like a snack of bite sized chunks of cheeses that are tasty but I realized I threw away the wrapper and no longer know what type of cheese it is. I realized that I have no idea what the emotion is behind my newest world is. I will have to think about it more... perhaps it is making the majestic relatable? is that even an emotion? Its the closest I can feel to describing it right now
With all the talk of emotions and metaphors, I feel stranded in the middle of a calm sea on a foggy day. Although I wanted my story to feel adventurous and have a sense of wonder, I never took any consideration for the emotional aspect of it.
Give a world an emotion, I think I get it. Mysterious-A world filled with secrets and unanswered questions waiting to be answered. Sadness-A land ruled by a tyrant that spread darkness and misery that a band of misfits come together to defeat. Magical-A world like no other that shows us magic in the great design of things, but also the magic the smallest of things too.
This is really where any writer should start. This is at the crux between bad and good writting. Any writer may still struggle with executing what is at the heart of their story those that are great are great because their execution comes through to the audience. But even if you're less experienced and stumble as long as you have that emotion guiding your work it will be stronger than those who don't. When you write without that emotion you get things like Diseny's wish. A vapid experience devoid of meaning because it's been lost. You get stories that are forgotten or just meh. Go deep. Go to something that means a lot to you.
I guess I have something of a... not really an emotion - a theme? No, more like a core question my story poses. Does someone who has commited a heinous crime with full intent and comprehension of his actions, without being forced to do it and simply because the desire to reach a goal proved too strong for morality to prevent... Can such a person ever be considered good again? Was that person ever good to begin with? There are several characters with simmilar issues, but the main character is by far the most burdened.
This is good, this is good! But can you bring it to a place that makes you feel something just with a little sentence? Something in the lines of: - The impossibly heavy burden of judgement - The crumbling sensation of forgiveness - Looking back and finding you were truly evil Those start pointing you towards the emotional state of the story - that will guide narrative decisions around the intelectual idea of the story :) the same intelectual idea could be explored through different emotional lenses, so it's nice to have this cleared up.
@@JoriamRamos Well I always struggled with poetry of any kind and as much as I like your style, I really doubt I would ever be able to achieve anything simmilar. The most poetic thing I can do is to start poetically and then abruptly end a sentence with a stupid conclusion as a joke when I inevtibaly hit a wall my own metaphors created.
The wonderful and strange familiarity of something youve always known better never had the word for - that's the feeling this evoked in me :) Also not sure if you're familiar with the anime but would love to see your thoughts on Violet Evergarden
I usually like to explore the emotions that come from the concept of "family" Not only found families, but the shitty ones you're bound to when you're born Love, anger, grief... All of that hits different when it's about your siblings, your children, your parents, the child of your brother, etc. Family stimulates political views as well. Are you going to be a fascist because people told you this would protect your family? Are you going to be a leftist to fight for their rights and freedom? How will the society around you react to your choice? This ends up creating interesting characters and conflicts really fast
Upon feeling unsatisfied with what I came here for and what I got. I started feeling uncertain as the explanation went deeper and at last it got me thinking. I'm not a native English speaker how tf am I gonna metaphor my mind here... . So with this excuse I shall run like a little fox after pulling a trick. Little I know that this is a sacred place for creativity, not excuses.thus I shall leave it for creative minds. Farewell.
