 If I were to make it a comic:

Pros

- Easier to produce

- Fun to color

Cons

- Can be tedious

- Oversaturation can happen

If I were to make it a animation:

Pros

- fluent

- it's easier to understand the characters

- leaves room for a lot of interesting storytelling

Cons

- idk if i'll have the energy to animate something consistent and satisfactory 

It may be an animation, then. I can't wait to script it.

Production order:

Script writing -> Audio recording + adding sound effects -> animation -> add BGM

what's holding me back from creating animations?

• easily feeling overwhelmed, most likely due to the surface of the workspace
• easily discouraged (thanks to my mom always underestimating me what i can do in art)
• worried how people will perceive it (i'm always willing to improve but it's hard to take criticism if i'm absolutely sastified with my work)
• old habits of rushing (i really want to take my time for now on)
• fear of experimenting (it comes with patience)

I'll steadily tackle all of these things at once fairly shortly

basic structure of the story (overall, NOT a episode)

1. Exposition: ✅ 

• Xiu-Ying starts her blog✅
• She tries to get ad revenue, but can't, so she lets it go and realizes it would be better if she just writes for herself and any other curious soul who wants to pop in✅

2. Conflict:

• There is someone out there in Shenai who seems to be copying everything that Xiu-Ying is doing, action-by-action and word-for-word, even getting sick a couple of times as she tries her best to replicate her actions. Her name is Shermaine. This person believes that Xiu-Ying's life is incredibly easy, so she tries to copy her way of living the best way possible and tries to depict her imitation of Xiu-Ying as a ultimate perfect life, which insults Xiu-Ying a lot, and leads to a confrontation. Later on, Xiu-Ying discovers the age of the Shenainese girl and she discovers she is a bit younger than her, but she eventually learns a lesson to not copy people. Xiu-Ying can finally relax after this.✅
• Xiu-Ying challenges herself to go outside in one of her elaborate, precious coordinates. She remembers the polite mannerism lessons she learnt in Weasel Scouts and uses those skills intelligently to prevent any stains on her clothes. After a lone photoshoot, she hears someone applauding her from the sidelines. It turns out that it's a reader of her works..!✅
• There is a blind hater on every one of Xiu-Ying's post that spawned around the time that Xiu-Ying was feeling absolutely apathetic. The challenge is that her mother recommends her to delete her website entirely, or confront the idiots who are trying to tear Xiu-Ying's happy place down. At first, she chooses to ignore it but the blind insults hurled at her become so overwhelming she falls down into a deep depression. She remembers in Weasel Scouts, a lesson about standing up for herself, so she tries, but the haters are still persisting. She ends up crying and takes a short break from it, while writing ideas for future entries on her phone. Timia encourages her to not give up on her dream as she consoles her physically by rubbing her back. Even though Timia tells her that it's one of the traits of being popular, she shouldn't let this tragedy drown out her desire to feel like she is part of something bigger than what she is - part of the world itself.

3. Rising Action:

• Xiu-Ying and Timia become good friends, which gives her a lot of ideas to blog about. Since Timia knows a fair amount about Xiu-Ying on her blog/public diary, she agrees to invite Xiu-Ying to her college dorm, where Xiu-Ying discovers that Timia is a proud lesbian and a otaku, which surprises her a lot, to the point where her legs collapse, but not in a negative sense.
• Xiu-Ying and Timia grow closer to each other, and Xiu-Ying chooses to take a break over the weekend to stay over Timia's place. (Yes, they happen to sleep in the same bed, that's a bunk bed, don't worry.. and her dorm room mate was in the moment of being switched, that's why the bed is free.)

4. Climax:

• Xiu-Ying surpasses her goal of 100 followers, with over 50,000 followers, and over 500k general views on her blog, after one of her posts going out with Timia goes viral. This is because Ranka was going on a public outrage full of envy that Xiu-Ying has friends to go out with, and that they manage to be interested in more fashion subgenres than Jirai Kei, leading in more of a variety of posts than her.
• Timia goes to confront Ranka about this, because the controversy gives Xiu-Ying a bad headache and she chooses to sleep in a bit more before writing a whole post acknowledging that.
• Ranka tries to kidnap Timia to force her to hang out with her, and when Timia tells her that it'll basically never happens, she traps Timia in a abandoned well. Xiu-Ying saves the day by releasing her container full of live mice at Ranka when she sees her livestreaming without a care in a world and interrogates her to tell her where Timia is. Ranka is cancelled online, and she cannot blog anymore because she's in jail, forever.

5. Falling Action:

• Now that Xiu-Ying had eliminated the competition through logic and complete accident at times, she could finally enjoy her fame with Timia. 
• Xiu-Ying feels exhausted trying to catch up on all the new releases from Cinnaheaven, the fashion brand to keep up with the trends to be an active blog. Timia realizes that she doesn't want to lose the passion of her writing, and Timia has a hobby of sewing from her high school days, so they decide to create a small bouquet to sew original clothing together.
• Eventually, school and their sewing project becomes the main priority, and even though the blog is really precious to Xiu-Ying, she cannot update it anymore.

6. Resolution:

• Xiu-Ying feels like she has outgrown blogging about her life a bit, but will forever remember the memories that were made thanks to her idea of starting a blog. She feels comfortable enough to write entries privately.
• The show ends with her deleting the blog, while having a photo album of her memories next to her as she clicks the button. Also, this makes it easier to watch the series on repeat.

Possible ideas

- Xiu-Ying had a problem with total population elimination when she was a weasel scout. it's a known fact that weasels have a tendency to kill more than they eat, and they rely on those leftovers, but xiu-ying often went the most overboard in her childhood.
