As someone who uses the architect method and has trouble writing, when I see my friends using the gardener method I realize that a big benefit to their approach is that they can more readily get moving on aspects of the story they are passionate about. Knowing when to stop planning and just write is a skill, and one that I struggle with as someone who values planned out stories and characters.

I wanted Will to develop psychic powers like Eleven through the Mindflayer to bring the whole Wizard Will motif into manifest

in the first season, the Demogorgon isn't an evil villan, its a *shark*. A force of nature. An animal whose only goal is to feed itself and survive. The government fucked around and accidentally invited it into our world. The CIA literally spent millions of dollars around that time irl testing people for psychic powers. That's why I loved the first season, it made so much sense yet had so much mystery
@johnpaulcross424
Internally consistent logic is something I see disregarded in so much of modern media, it’s nice to see someone breaking down WHY it’s bad rather than just pointing at it and saying “writing bad” like every ragetuber who’s cropped up in the last few years
@RichardHall3
In season 3 I thought the Soviets were trying to use the gate as a wormhole between the US and Russia and that’s why Hopper ended up there.

As a gardener writer that just recently started working with a stricter structure: I've suffered for so long i will never stop planing now. I find that outlining the plot and gardening the more emotional scenes works great.

Everything I adore about this channel: 1. Literally the advice I really wanted to learn 2. All of the points are clear 3. There are alot of jokes for me to listen to and its put in a sarcastic way that is honestly something I would watch even if I didnt like screenwriting 4. Perfect for listening as a podcast at times 5. I have more but I forgot.

1:20 "I'm not about negativity, I not about positivity, I'm about productivity" what a dialogue! I think I'm gonna add that to my next script.

the key to writing your supernatural systems in a way that makes sense and feels convincing for the audience is to make sure you cast really attractive people. if your project is full of waifus, everything in it will work and make sense (no I do not know anything about weeb stuff and I do not care)
@eggmilk770
You explain things in such a confusing and yet understandable way, i love it
@Nicolaspereyra7
Magic is a wild beast for me. I only write short storys/novels but the philosophy is the same: magic/fantasy elements are not tools for the characters to solve problems but tools for me to create problems for the characters. For instanse one of my characters has a nightmare that crawls out of his ear and appears to be a bug with the head of a baby. That lets me confront the character with his missbeliefs about fatherhood/masculinity/trauma and only gets resolved if he is willing to grow. tldr: the characters don't use magic, the magic uses them.

-First off… my boy DRIPPED out -honestly your animated recap was pretty funny. I could listen to you cynically retell the storylines to a movie or show anytime. -Idk if it’s a Gen Z thing but your format and method to teach writing technics really works for me. -you inject opportunistic comedy into your videos and that’s my favorite kind of comedy personally. -I feel like something you have built on several times throughout your videos is having a structured skeleton to your story. Making sure everything is logical and makes sense within the world you have created. -keep making content dude

this was legit the funniest raid shadow legends sponsorship ive ever seen.
@zynfalde
I cannot understate how helpful you have been to clearing up my writing process, so glad you are finally getting compensated for you work
@jacoblertora1829
DMing a dnd game has been such a formative experience for my storytelling. Taking what the players hand me in terms of backstory and turning it over in my head and thinking "what would logically come next," throwing it at them and seeing what sticks is a process that I've developed that seems tied to what you talk about in your videos. If I'm wrong about the story beat, my players won't connect with it. If I'm right, they'll take it and run with it - doing a lot of the heavy lifting for me. Engaging in collaborative storytelling within this framework is so amazing.
@tianathegoose1691
I hadn’t heard of “gardener” and “architect” writers before, that’s really interesting! I suppose that the approach you take will work best depending on the genre. Slice of life based stories will thrive with gardeners, and intricate fantasy plots with magic systems will benefit from architects. Both methods have their merit, it just depends on where you apply them. Great video btw!
@66Roses
It's incredibly interesting to hear your perspective on fights in stories because I have heard the exact opposite perspective, and both are well-thought out and communicated.
@fell9654
I feel like a YT creator has graduated to a different level when they have a raid shadow legends sponsor
@moriahmars1462
A theory I heard is that Will's actually the one with the world duplication powers and that's why the demogorgon got him and didn't kill him. I think makes sense
