What if... - Notepad for custom ideas, thoughts on specific modules and cores

As soon as Love Bomb drops, I’ll upgrade A.

A. V2

Primal Core
Love Bomb Core
Song of Joy
The Flow
Instant Spark
Joie de Vivre
Polyglot
Temptation
King’s Radiance
Current Invoker

Edge of Danger for me doesn’t really mix with Love Bomb. (was only included for a specific aspect of a performance)

The Flow and Current Invoker are a great combination for acting/performance.

Even though A. is just meant for a project,
I like it a lot.
Klicks better
than a lot of other customs
did before.

Maybe this approach is working
better for me.

The meticulously planned customs were very much
a conscious endeavour. Setting a goal
(e. g. finance/building the company)
assessing every module,
how it would relate to the goal
how it could synergize with the others.
Then whittling down to 20 modules.

A. was maybe more comparable to
writing fairytales or free form short stories.
(Just a blank page
no idea or frame to start with,
starting to write without thought
so the subconscious can freely show
what’s going on.)
Choosing the archetype
that felt right
and choosing the modules
I felt drawn to
with a bit consolidating in the end.

Probably will end up with a mix.
But one freeform custom in the stack
feels about right.

- CLUSTERS -

Some modules and cores just go well together. (This list will be updated.)

Khan Black + Dopaminergic Revival (Energy)

Current Invoker + The Flow (Acting/Entertaining)

Temptation + Entranced

Need to be tried:

Renaissance Man: Ultimate Writer X + Polyglot + Current Invoker

One of my favourite writing techniques is the “Clogged Faucet”.

Before you get to the good stuff, you have to go through all the bad. Flat characters, cliches, the most obvious, tired ideas and plot hooks. All these come up first. It’s important not to hold them back. If you do, they come back and again creeping in as the (too) obvious solution for a narrative. I write them down in a separate junk document to release them. Liberating.

Now that’s an excellent solution to the fear of going down the boring writing path.

Helped a lot.

When it comes to too flat, straight, boring writing a friend of mine uses, what he calls the “…and a werewolf” method.

When he is stuck with this kind of story and doesn’t really know how to expand and complicate (in a good way), he sets it aside, starts to write a completely new one, new characters, different world. After establishing the basic premise, he brings both together and handles them as if they are part of the same story, just needing some editing. Often it works baffingly well. It’s very playful, good training. (His first add-on story was a werewolf story.)

I prefer the lite version, just building one unrelated aspect (often a character) and chuck it into the mix.

Current Invoker, The Flow and Primal (for understanding and writing social dynamics) are an incredibly combination for story and scene set-up.

Was just lying two hours in the bathtup, imagining different set-ups, how people would react to what, the timing etc. It was very easy to immerse into the aimed for atmosphere and actually feel the scene.

Looking forward to throwing the new ME into the mix.

Ordered

The Gentle Opening of an Oyster v2

I. A Stark Black Reality Core
II. Free Pass
III. Treasure Finder
IV. AI Whisperer
V. Kronos Key
VI. Joie de Vivre
VII. The Flow
VIII. DEUS
IX. Pragya
X. Tyrant
XI. Jupiter

XIV. Polygot
XV. Renaissance Man: Ultimate Writer X Core

Polyglot works well for me.
It will probably go into every stack from now on.

RM:UWX in combination with ASBR makes the custom quite heavy, on the other hand: Everything I want to develop is in large parts written.

Not quite sure how the next stack will look like. Still 8 days to think about it.

A. v2

Primal Core
Love Bomb Core
Song of Joy
The Flow
Instant Spark
Joie de Vivre
Polyglot
Temptation
King’s Radiance
Current Invoker

is working exceptionally well.

Got a lot of positive feedback and compliments after rehearsal.
Two other performers noted a specific moment during the performance
they “will never forget” and a very special glow.
(King’s Radiance+LB?)

If you often get into contact with new people
Instant Spark, King’s Radiance, new Love Bomb
(+The Flow and Current Invoker)
is an extraordinary combination. Really love it.

I’ll keep A. v2 as my foundational social sub.
New LB took a bit of time to take off.
Might exchange Primal later for the new Daredevil,
but right now it is still doing important grounding work.

Maybe add Dragon Tongue, Voice Master and Entranced in A. v3,
but not sure yet.


New and old Love Bomb are like night and day.

Really enjoyed the presents, the light, sometimes childish atmosphere with oLB. It was always a bit fleeting.

The new Love Bomb is so profound. The aura is slowly coming back, but in a different way, permanent, strong, unshakable.

Building self-love is damn hard work for the soul.

Some loose thoughts on better results.

A custom tailormade for a project you will be working on for a couple of months is a great way to get results. It’s taking action in overdrive. Very focused, with every step you take, with every bit of time you invest, you also work on/with the sub.

Probably best to find a project you really would like to work on, which aligns with you goals.

Notes on the stack:

  • Microloop new subs to get a feel.
  • Build, try clusters in small customs.
  • rearrange, tinker til a cluster “clicks”.
  • Build up clusters towards a defined goal into (slightly) bigger customs.
  • Only use what clicks and is actually needed. Cut everything else.
  • Build and tinker with existing customs to progress and to minimize recon.

Really looking forward to Daredevil. I of course don’t know exactly what’s in it, but the main vibe feels like a good progression from PRIMAL: First learn to not give a f*** and how social structure and dynamics work, then dive in, head first.

This could be what the next iteration of A. look like:

A. V3

Daredevil Core
Love Bomb Core
Instant Spark

The Flow
Current Invoker

Temptation
Entranced

Song of Joy
Dragon Tongue

Polyglot

Daredevil covers a lot of ground (like Voice Master, Current Invoker, The Flow).

With Song of Joy, DD and RM:UWX, I guess comedy is pretty much covered.

Daredevil with NSE is such an elegant concept. It is flexible and open and always skillswise expanding, with the NSE you just train the direction you want: Comedy or sales or bungeejumping - I suspect you probably won’t need (m)any module add-ons.

Less than 10 modules (including up to 2 cores) seems to be my sweet spot when it comes to customs.

Will try to resist in the future to put every module in that kinda drifts into the right direction.

The Gentle Opening of an Oyster still needs a bit of whittling down with 15 modules and 2 heavy cores.

Which are you going to try?

3 cores in one custom looks kinda heavy. Never tried it yet. (Except for the NSE cores.)
