","writing":"The one overarching and constant thing about the military storylines is, virtually every single combat event and the interactions and reactions they trigger, are inspired by events and conditions that I experience or cause in real life. Every day, many times throughout the day, I will either replay previously established plots, visualize a sequence of events and dialogues if a current RL consideration or event turns out a certain way, or imagine a scenario that corresponds to what has just occurred or been realized. Many times a day, I have brief mental visions of my fursona's commentary on something, or his words or reactions on the bridge, or a general operational/strategic-scale scene, or a land or naval thrust, or what I IRL would write, and on and on. Additionally, listening to music especially will conjure various action images/sequences such as infantry charging, warships opening fire, etc, and cause general mental stimulation. I am actually finding it very difficult to actually describe the process right now, as it's something that seems to resist concise and accurate explanation to others. \n\nThe overall process or phenomenon of envisioning dialogue or writing is not limited to fictional warfare. I will often rehearse or play a desired verbal or written response or commentary regarding some sort of RL development, often without any recent trigger. Maybe I'm imagining what I should say on a particular topic during my turn at an AA meeting, or what I would tell a person in a social setting about a topic or a person, or what I should say if some theoretical event or comment transpires. Every day, these innumerable sorts of mental exercises and diversions happen. There's a tremendous amount of mental activity going on during most of my waking hours, and it usually is for naught because I cannot possibly record or utilize all of my inspirations when I have them. I would never get anything done if I suspended operations or planning just to scribe something which may or may not ever be useful in any conceivable way, though the mental rehearsals might allow me to better respond if it does come to pass. \n\nWhen you read anything from one of Roketsune's diary entries to an explanation of a nation's military and industrial state and doctrine, it is almost invariably caused by one or more IRL events, beliefs, or conditions. A thing of whatever form IRL has a plausible fictional counterpart. My multiple severe defeats in one aspect of my life earlier this year (2015) were represented by Kantaria's crippling defeats on the Central Front, and my relative stability and stoicism in the aftermaths were represented by Kantaria being able to evacuate more of their troops than they thought possible. My realization I had to be proactive to minimize negative feelings were manifested in Kantaria's newest flagship being built and deployed in accordance with proactive and overwhelming offensive doctrine (armor is not as important if you're out of range of the enemy guns and you can sink them at a rapid rate: offense is in effect a form of defense). My emotional fragility is commonly represented by the enemy having superior bomber forces and technology. There are innumerable other examples. \n\nBecause the storyline and my fursona's primary version are so intertwined with my RL experiences, all of it is of great importance and relevance to me. This also reinforces my tendency to speak and think as a military strategist, though I have to be careful of what I say and how to those not very familiar with me. I have caused misunderstandings more than once, and theoretically I could be perceived as declaring war on a group I'm introducing myself to if I exercise zero restraint. I actually have an empathy for not only my fursona, but all of those under his command. I have actually lightly wept on probably 2 or 3 occasions, completely sober, when imagining this or that. I suspect also that the various things that mentally unfold also heighten my emotional reaction to a RL stimulus such as music because of that empathy for my creations. \n\nI have actually had a very active and elaborate imagination centered around warfare and leadership since I was a teenager. My imagination has developed and matured over the years just as the rest of me has, precipitated by experiences and sensorial stimuli such as pictures and music. My development has increasingly accelerated since entering recovery, and my creative proficiency is no exception. What I created in my mind before this decade was really immature and unbearable relative to the present. Like, I'd imagine myself leading the Care Bears when I was a teenager, or using the Get-Along Gang as military commanders in a theoretical game. In the 2000's I latched onto the Sonic the Hedgehog universe and envisioned various alternative storylines for the characters and planet, essentially using other creations for my own plots. Fortunately, I never wrote or drew anything about any of this (at least, I can't recall ever doing that), so I can honestly say I am in that regard not as terrible as Chris Chan.\n\nFrom the late 2000's to the turn of the decade, what I started imagining began diverging from anything Mobian and started resembling the current universe, and a great deal of it was while I was drunk. The names and details of even the planet and most of the nations didn't occur immediately. The war had a fixed duration from 1998 to 2005, and very early in that period Kantaria discovered portal technology which just so happened to link with Earth, and a rather idealized version of me IRL (all of the flair and brilliance of Roketsune with little of the anxiety IRL) was the first to make contact when he/I went through a portal. My natural abilities paired with Kantarian culture set off an extreme amount of development, and I was instrumental in uniting the planet. Then I spearheaded an invasion of Earth, because apparently it's quite logical to voluntarily invade and occupy much of a planet due to cultural hatred 6 years after an utterly exhausting 7-year world war. It was rather stupid and disorganized compared to what I have now, but it was at least mine and was slightly plausible.\n\n2012 to I think 2014 was an awkward transitional period set off by my entry into recovery. Oh, how do I explain this...? What I was imagining originally was an alternate version of that planet and its war, one detached from events I had established in my mind before and centered on my human persona. Kantaria was the underdog and it was gradually retaking territory and periodically fighting on the water. My imagination was responding to the different course my life had taken. I had intended to create a diary of my life with actual and fictional components in 2013, but I soon scrapped the idea because trying to adhere to something I wasn't inspired to do while not even understanding myself very well was worsening my anxiety. As I progressed in RL and the series of images started coalescing into a more advanced form, it seemed the RL-inspired version was better and more natural, and also gave the Strategist version of Roketsune an increasingly coherent, elaborate, and marvelous playground. So, I eventually decreed the new version was better and disregarded the old version entirely.\n\nThe new incarnation of Takomen and the four nations is a very prominent reflection of my development as a person, and a core component on a spiritual level for a lack of a better term. The nations will benefit or suffer in accordance with my experiences, and they provide a constructive way of expending literary drive and energy. Hell, maybe I'll even develop a small following as a result of my Takomenian writings! Of course, this does pose a question I'll have to resolve in the relatively near future barring an overall loss of progress: What will I do after both enemy nations surrender, since I will still have things to do and struggle with IRL? But, I guess I will only know that when the time comes. In the meantime, I'll listen to anime/Japanese songs and make updates to the world history so that I can share them with those bored or intrigued enough to read.\n\nHonestly, I didn't see this happening even 12 months ago. I did not expect to have such a high internal impetus for writing about this so much. I had expected that if much writing was done at all, it would be the planned pubescent and teenage cub erotica. That was actually an objective on my Literary Front under grand strategy, not the Takomenian world war and such. I do hope to actually have an impulse to write those at some point, but I have not thus far in the slightest. Even when I was mated I maybe once or twice had a desire and made an attempt, and even that wasn't completed. Of course, I didn't expect to have either the drive or capacity to write nearly so much at all even a short while ago, so there's no telling what will happen with the erotica. As I advance and take territory, perceptions and capabilities change.
