🍽️ حلال Connor Bible - Everyone's Favorite Molly Ringwald loving, adoption hating, aspiring writer and bellybutton fucker

[Phil Ken Sebben]

An astronaut going insane after coming back to Earth, a biomechanical mound of flesh, an unnaturally nice neighborhood, a haunted toilet, a possessive typewriter, a man shifting into alternate realities, a deranged barber, a little brat torturing miniature beings, a family heirloom with a dark history, and a teenage mother who is driven up the wall by her mutant baby.

Here's the first problem Connor. You've got so much going on that you don't know which one to work on. Try working on one of these at a time and really pour your focus into it.

The next issue is a little less productive in part because while vague, almost all these stories have been done before in one form or another.

An astronaut going insane after coming back to Earth - Twilight Zone: And the Sky Was Opened. Three astronauts went up, three came back but they start disappearing one by one and nobody remembers them except the other astronauts. There was also an Issac Asimov story where the astronauts orbit the moon only to find the dark side isn't there and they can see the internal structure that looks like a prop.
A biomechanical mound of flesh - Akira: The final scene where Tetsuo merges with Akira. The spoof Akira in South Park: Trapper Keeper. And about a dozen other sci-fi stories that I can't remember the names of at the moment
An unnaturally nice neighborhood - The Stepford Wives, Pleasantville, any story where people are being controlled by an all powerful force.
A haunted toilet - Aside from some Asian legends, can't come up with one. Unless you want to consider The Real Ghostbusters toy "Fearsome Flush". Otherwise congrats on coming up with something I can't remember actually seeing.
A possessive typewriter - Walpulski's Typewriter by Frank Darabont. A case might be made for Naked Lunch.
A man shifting into alternate realities - Job: A Comedy of Justice by Robert A Heinlein, Star Trek Next Generation: Parallels, and again too many others to mention.
A deranged barber - Sweeny Todd.
A little brat torturing miniature beings - Lots to choose from here but more from Anthology stories like the Twilight Zone and Hammer House of Horror movies. Also this Saturday morning show from the 70's with really bad green screen effects. I remember seeing bits of it on reruns when I was a kid. Something about a doctor that shrank people.
A family heirloom with a dark history - To many to list but my favorite one would be the scene with the mirror in the classic movie, "Dead of Night".
A teenage mother who is driven up the wall by her mutant baby - Eraserhead. Seriously you won't be able to convince people you didn't get this from Eraserhead.

It's good that you're trying but if you want to make your mark you're going to have to see what has been done and make sure your story is nothing like the others ones.

To be fair to Connor, coming up with a truly original idea is nigh-impossible, as evidenced by the thought that you can think of multiple sources he might be ripping off. (I know for the astronaut one, there was either a Twilight Zone episode or a short story I read about an astronaut who came back from space and a bunch of eyes opened up on his body or something.) That said, given Connor's track record with plagiarism, I'm not sure I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

@Connor Bible I have a non-kettlebell question to ask you.

When I wrote my story "Murder in the Dark" on the Inner Circle, I was compared with you.

Can you figure out why?

 

[KatsuKitty]

When I wrote my story "Murder in the Dark" on the Inner Circle, I was compared with you.

did you actually end up writing something

 

[JU 199]

@Connor Bible

Can a patriotic admin make this his PP? I'll pay you with hugs!

 

[TrippinKahlua]

did you actually end up writing something

I got a whole Pokemon fanfic out there. It's shit, and only like 600-700 words a chapter, but it was something that I had in my head since like 2000 and after years of thinking it all through, I started writing it in 2011.

Honestly, I have abandoned it but I really plan on finishing it when I get my computer back (which better be tomorrow, since my vacation is Thursday).

Truth be told however, it's not 100% my own ideas except for writing it all out in text. It's based off a D&D game but with Pokemon I played in school. Things got out of hand when one person took big advantages, mostly without the other players knowing. He formed secret alliances, created portals and he stupidly told me stuff. I did not tell any other players a thing about how he accomplished so much, but he heard a rumor that I did, and he went mad.

Do you have a life experience to write about Connor?

 

[Stalin]

You know, I would've thought Connor would be dead/gone by now.

1. Connor naked
2. Connor doing a striptease
3. Connor jacking off in a strip club
4. 2Connors1cup

Well, now that's just rude.

I just looked up some photos of Molly Ringwald in 2010. If that's what Connor considers "portly," then every fat joke in this thread has been completely justified.

That "mmm, aspie. . ." bit kills me every fucking time. Connor, no one will ever look at you & think that.

@Connor Bible wants to talk shit about someone looking portly?

So, are we ignoring "my dad doing a striptease," line?

 

[DrChristianTroy]

You make an excellent point. How the hell do you get in a situation where that happens???

(I know for the astronaut one, there was either a Twilight Zone episode or a short story I read about an astronaut who came back from space and a bunch of eyes opened up on his body or something.)

At the risk of derailing the thread, that's actually an excellent short story by Stephen King called "I am the Doorway" from his short story collection, Night Shift. You can read it online here.

Connor, pay attention.

 

[EI 903]

@Hellblazer @Nullita @KatsuKitty pretty please?

Admins can change profile pics, but all us greenfolk can do is delete avatars. We can't replace them with anything.

This is probably for the best, given how I would abuse that.

To be fair to Connor, coming up with a truly original idea is nigh-impossible, as evidenced by the thought that you can think of multiple sources he might be ripping off.

To be honest, when you get down to it, everything is derivative of something or another. It's how you carry it off that makes a difference. In the right hands a story of a young mother that goes nuts from dealing with her mutant baby could have no real connection to Eraserhead. It all depends on how it's written and how it's presented.

That said, given Connor's track record with plagiarism, I'm not sure I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Short story from the book "Night Shift" by Stephen King called "I am the Doorway". You should check it out because it's got a lot of his shorter works that were later translated into much worse movies that don't do the subject matter any justice.

EDIT: Dammit. Ninjaed by @Cosmos. (shakes tiny fist)

I bet Molly doesn't have crotch rot.

To be honest, when you get down to it, everything is derivative of something or another.

Not only that, but like I've said before, and at least outside of an academic or journalistic context, it's not plagiarism unless there's deliberate fraud in passing off content or concept as an original creation (at least as I see it). It's alarming how often harmless copying is called "stealing" and "plagiarism" nowadays.

Still, like you said, even without plagiarism, you have to present something that's been done before the right way to make it truly original.

All of that said, if Redesigning Eva is presented to us using more or less the exact plot of a specific 80s movie (probably with Molly Ringwald in it), or more or less the exact plot of a specific anime episode, and it's clear it's not in the context of fanfiction, parody, or a shoutout, that's probably plagiarism and not just a "trope."

 

[autisticdragonkin]

I always thought Redesigning Eva was an evangelion fanfic, is it its own work

 

[NobleGreyHorse]

There's a lot of Silence of the Lambs in it too, except Hannibal Lecter is turned into a boy genius called "Klaus Krieger" and Connor made the black orderly, who, in the book (and I think movie?) is the one guy Lecter doesn't hate, into a gorilla. That's not racist AT ALL. And the dialogue in the scene is nearly verbatim from the original.

Why do you want to make this thread about you so badly

Do you want a thread

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Wasn't the climax of Redesigning Eva a terrorist attack occuring during a game at a stadium, like in this one book?

Redesigning Eva seems to suffer from a fallacy others and myself have described that I'm now calling the "Pooh's Adventures Fallacy."

Spoiler: The Pooh's Adventure Fallacy

"Cool thing plus cool thing always makes a 'WAY PAST COOL' thing."

Actually, the terrorist attack climax is for my WIP, Alphaboy.

Don't you need to write these stories before you worry about climaxes? Speaking of climaxes how many writing hours did you waste jacking off?
