Scratch’s Corruption Theory Megapost
A very common theory/speculation that has been going around Tgamm fandom is the possibility of Scratch becoming corrupted. It has been an idea in the fandom since the episode ¨Howlin Harriet¨ (Season 1 Episode 2-A) aired back when the series was just starting. Fans have made their own fanart of corrupted Scratch designs, fanfics involving Scratch becoming corrupted, etc. It’s a popular concept to explore in the Tgamm fandom. The question is: Could Scratch become corrupted in this show? What could lead him to become corrupted?
In this post i’m going to talk about what we know about ghost corruption so far and why Scratch has a chance to become corrupted at some point during Season 2.
"WHERE DO I WRITE MY BOOKS?"
i've gathered some resources that writers could use in writing their books. this is where you can write your books:
- Microsoft Word - you can actually format a document so it looks like a manuscript or you can use the manuscript template.
- Google Docs - if you do not have the first one, you can have google docs as a free alternative, it functions similarly as you can also format it to become a manuscript for your book. (EXPERIMENT WITH THIS, IT COULD DO EVERYTHING !!)
- Mystory.today - you can write your book in this website because it is actually meant for writers. it's an 'all in one' website since you can have your characters and chapters all in one application. it is free but it has some premium features.
- yWriter - similar to mystory.today, but i prefer this one more since it's free !!
- Dabble - similar to mystory.today, it's free but it has some premium features but still definitely worth the try !
- Pen and paper - i also love taking notes by hand and it feels satisfying to move my fingers and use my hands in writing too !
- Milanote - this is where you can build characters, settings, and timelines but it's limited so there's premium version of it.
- Manuskript - an application where you can write your books too, it's free !!
- Notion - this is a bonus, i personally use this to plan my books but i do not use it for my manuscript. it's still a helpful platform if you want to make notes about your writing and plan when you are going to write your books. it's also a great tool to create a checklist of your to-dos
i hope you guys would mainly experiment on google docs but u can always use what suits your preference. i hope this helps !!
Wishbone (his real name was Soccer) was born on May 17th, 1988
Happy birthday Wishbone!
A strong start.
Reminds me of this I found a couple days ago
So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.) Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.
If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results:
- What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)
- What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)
- What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)
- Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory)
- What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.)
- Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)
- Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)
- Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)
- What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.)
- What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)
