![]() ![]() ![]() Once we see things play out from the other team’s perspective, we see how it all goes down. Both sides then see people seemingly heal from wounds or even return from the dead, because it hasn’t happened yet from their perspective. Then they arrive at the beginning of the battle, re-invert themselves, and inform the other half about what’s coming to make sure they can succeed. From the perspective of the inverted, they arrive at the battlefield at the end, and work their way backwards, seeing how everything plays out. Just like the film is about the past and the future colliding in the present, so do scenes involving inversion play as a video running twice, simultaneously, but one going forward and one backwards.Īt three points in the movie, we see something called a “Temporal Pincer Movement” being used, which involves a battalion inverting half its force and having them attack while inverted, while the other half fights normally. This is where the film’s title, Tenet, comes into play. The way it all works is by playing the scene in your head backwards. Throughout the film, we see more uses of “time inversion,” from vehicles seemingly moving backwards, to combatants fighting in reverse and seemingly healing from wounds. Sure, we get into weirder territory further into the story once we get into the grandfather paradox and whether the chicken came before the egg, but the general idea remains: everything that happens was decided by characters acting out of their own free will, even if they don’t fully realize it just yet. A reverse bullet hole is only “caught” (or “fired” in reverse) if the person handling the gun makes themselves catch or fire it. What about free will, you ask? As Clémence Poésy’s character explains early in the film, catching a reverse bullet only happens because you willed it. Parallel: The Companion barters with Oblivion for power, generating 50 Ultimate. We see the effect (a bullet hole in a wall), but the cause hasn’t happened yet (a gun shooting that bullet into the wall). Reverse Entropy: The Companion envelops themselves and an ally with stabilizing magic, healing over time. For us, cause is followed by effect, but for inverted objects, it’s reversed. ![]() Essentially, we are watching the inverted object on rewind (like a puddle of milk becoming ice cream) while the rest of the world moves as normal, in a linear, forward motion. a differential amount of heat passed into a thermodynamic system absolute temperature McCulloh then declares that the applications of these two laws, i.e. From your perception, you are moving as normal, while the rest of the world is moving in reverse. In Tenet, the ability to reverse entropy is what causes “time inversion.” When you are inverted, you move backwards in time. ![]()

![]() Now consider the elements you highlighted, one by one. Do the colors seem in proper balance? Are there any chapters that are significantly shorter or longer than the rest? Viewed this way, the outline looks rather like a tapestry, the various elements threading their way through it. When you’ve finished highlighting, spread the pages on the floor end-on-end. Where are the tense moments in the novel? Where, exactly, does the story torque? Are there enough torques, are they paced effectively, do they work? What do they suggest in terms of heightening these elements throughout? What do your discoveries about this and other tensions in the novel suggest in terms of heightening the tension throughout? For example, if one of the novel's tensions lies in a character's realization that his girlfriend wants to get married fear that his girlfriend is pregnant, highlight every place in the book where marriage or anything relating to it comes into play. Consider the various elements in the novel that contribute to the overall tension, and highlight for each one. Is each character given equal space? Should each be given equal space? Is each different point of view necessary? If it has multiple points of view, highlight each. If your novel moves back and forth in time, highlight each level of time with a different color to help you see if they are in the right balance. If you notice a lot of narrative passages, highlight for both narrative and scene to see if they are in good balance. Where do both colors appear on the same page? What happens between the characters on those pages? How does the accumulation of moments define-or fail to define-the relationship? In this case, highlight the second character with a different color. Perhaps it occurs to you, looking at one character, that it would be helpful to see his relationship with another character more clearly. Are there whole chapters or sections where the character is not there at all? If so, is his absence appropriate or do you need to find ways to weave him more tightly into the novel? What might those ways be? Scene? Narrative? Flashback? Jot them down, of course.īut the greatest insights will most likely come when you finish the highlighting, spread the pages on the floor, and literally see the path of the character through the novel. Insights and ideas often occur in the process, as they did when you went through the manuscript page by page. You might track a character through the book, highlighting every place that character is present, mentioned or even thought of. Work through everything on your list, using a different color or symbol for each element. Isolate one element, and go through your "outline," highlighting/marking each place it appears on the page. For example: character, emotion, description, the balance of scene and narrative, dialogue, transitions. When you get all the way to the end, consider what floated up to make a list of things you want to look at closely. Weirdly, keeping your left brain busy allows the renegade right brain to range all over the place, triggering useful ideas and observations once you get into the flow. Type the first line of the chapter, use bullet points to summarize what happens in it, then type the last line of the chapter. Go through your manuscript chapter by chapter. This exercise is guaranteed to help you assess the first (second, third, whatever) draft of your novel and set revision tasks for the next. Refreshments: store-bought Christmas cookies. We'll write, commiserate, write some more. Next year, a few days before Christmas, I am going to offer "Christmas Motel: An Afternoon of Escape from the Holiday Spirit" as a Writers' Center class. ![]() It cheered me up all through this season-though, alas, not enough to avoid the holiday plunge. This picture of the Christmas Motel, sent my pal Mary Nicolini, captures how Christmas feels to me. I don't remember anything about the poems Chris brought, just that reading them and saying something useful and encouraging was something I knew how to do. After Chris's call that day, I salvaged what I could salvage of the burnt, broken cookies, cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, and swore, Scarlett O'Hara style, As God is my witness, I will never, ever bake Christmas cookies again. I get tireder and tireder, until I can barely stay awake.Īnyway. I sink lower and lower into a bad mix of sadness, guilt, anxiety,and dread. To say the least, I don't "do" Christmas well. I think she thought I was kidding, but I was as serious as a heart attack. "And thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding me who I am. ![]() Apologetically, she said that she had received a sheaf of poems from a student and had no idea what to say to him about them. Once, while in the midst of the (I believed then) obligatory baking of Christmas cookies, my friend Chris Torke called. ![]() ![]() Music Yuffie's music was a much more unique soundtrack and style compared to remake and the rest of the cast's themes. Weiss as a super boss was also really fun, prob my favorite superboss so far as his strategy was easily more complex compared to previous ff older games so far. The side content was also just flat out better in this game, fort condor was a REALLY fun side game, and I hope they expand it in rebirth with harder content for it, as it was an easy highlight. While I still prefer controllable allies, it was still very fun to play with. Not only is yuffie's gameplay just better, but sonon's ally mechanic and synergize mechanic were really fun. ![]() There is no way she will stay this much better then the rest of the cast in rebirth, so either she gets power nerfed (which would suck), or the cast gets power buffed to her level, which is the more fun option. ![]() She is just overall much faster paced and more broken compared to the rest of the cast, but still requires attention as she has a low health pool, requiring dodging and blocking to survive encounters. ![]() Yuffie's juggle mechanic is also 100x compared to other characters, and it is just plain fun to do. One thing that makes her very unique is her perfect block, that allows you to negate damage completely by timing their attack with a block, which just adds so much without the need of the materia, which even the parry materia I feel isn't as fun as perfect blocking, but I still like the idea of dodging in the parry materia. Yuffie is the MOST fun out of any of the main characters you can play as, and I really hope some of her mechanics carry over in rebirth as universal mechanics. Gameplay Easily the highlight of yuffie's dlc. Lastly, Scarlet was the main antagonist shinra character for this story, and while she is still the typical big momma character, she was still pretty interesting to watch. All the sector 7 side characters also returned, and were still short in screen time, but for the stakes of this game, was way more interesting to talk to and not feel like I should be focusing on the stake at hand like in the remake. The short length does affect a bit for the game, but for the story it was, it was a pretty fine length all things considered. Sonon was also a very interesting character with how much they tried to pack in for his character arc all the way till the end. Following Yuffie's arc of trying to find the ultimate Materia (and not stealing it from us for now) was a less ambitious and impactful story, but was interesting all the way through. Yuffie especially I just loved her character, it felt more light toned compared to the remake, but it was a very consistent tone, with very rarely I would recoil from bad voice acting, or a weird tone. Story/Characters The story mainly follows Yuffie and Sonon, and they are very interesting characters imo. While it is a much shorter game, and has a weaker overall story, it is a much BETTER consistent story, with actual pacing that makes the story interesting instead of the stop and go pacing the remake had. A lengthy trailer from Summer Game Fest gave fans their first proper look at the game in a year and came at the end of a week's worth of sometimes insightful but more often bizarre Q&A posts from Square Enix.6h Played8.5/10 Final Fantasy VII Remake INTERmission was a bit of a surprise for me, as while I didn't think highly of remake, I REALLY enjoyed INTERmission. Part two, officially called Rebirth, is due to release this winter and fans are already noticing references to the original game in its marketing. Only time well tell exactly how these future memories, Whispers, and multiverses play out in the rest of Final Fantasy 7 Remake's story, which is now confirmed to be a trilogy. The Whispers are trying to undo and "correct" these plot changes from the original game though, as the tweet explains they sap some of Aerith's future memories every time they touch her. ![]() When Aerith calls him a mercenary, she's apparently doing so unintentionally because she subconsciously already holds this information. Even though the pair hadn't met until now, Aerith has vague memories of future events thanks to her multiverse self already knowing Cloud, Square Enix said. ![]() ![]() They are beneficial for all hair types and textures and are simple and painless to remove.

If you do manage to find something that is not a colorful silk hair tie, it's likely that it's of poor quality and will only hold up for a few weeks before losing its elasticity. Most hair ties on the market are either floral or colorful when it comes to appearance (something that men do not want). Tired of elastic hair ties promising to deliver but failing to do so?

Jenna Minnig of PennState CommMedia compared Stauber's music to Ariel Pink's as both have hypnagogic-pop styles and have similar voices, but believed it was not needed to compare the two.
