#HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

[stillbreathing-aer]

"How is any of this fair?"

"Fair?

You've never really loved anyone, have you?

You peel the skin off your heart and it always hurts.

No matter what you do."

“Because I am lost,” she whispered onto the earth. “And I do not know the way.”

Thoughts of a newly resurrected girl

#dungeon meshi #farcille #falin touden #marcille donato #falin x marcille #welcome to my yuri mind palace ^ _ ^ #i think falin is going through it basically. i think marcille is putting her through hell #Marcille is like we are GIRL BESTIES <3 let me touch you ever so tenderly I MISSED YOU SO MUCH !!! #but let's not talk about it or anything too deeply haha. #sorry that i think marcille is repressed. sorry. but i believe with the character development she goes through during the manga #that will change #falin can fix her #my art

Can we just mention Archie for a moment? Archie who was so steeped in violence and death that she thought there was no such thing as hope, and then she heard Jim telling Pinocchio to Fang and fell in love? Archie who took exactly 1.5 seconds of badassery to jump right into Stede's crew and be embraced by them? Archie who never stopped laughing and smiling once she was on board the Revenge? Archie who fell right into her polycule with Jim and Olu and is gonna be fucking thrilled to have Zheng there too? Archie who is definitely the chaos child and adopted Stede as her dad within a few days?

I just...I really like Archie.

#ofmd #ofmd season 2 #archie ofmd #gif #our flag means death #madeleine sami #i really liked that we got more different female characters this season #and none of them are interchangeable #they're as immediately and clearly developed as the male characters #also as a fairly tattooed queer woman #i particularly enjoy seeing her onscreen

I am feeling a way about Aelwyn continually inviting Adane to hang out at her apartment even though it's a disaster area with her ten ornery cats and scattered microwave dinner trays. I know a part of that is Brennan just wanting a reason to show the audience the very funny contrast from, "I came here to fuck!" to "Nooo Hector :(" But there's also something to her being like, "I want you here with me even though it will entirely ruin any possible remaining mystique around my cool girl persona"--something she absolutely still cares about in a general sense as she tells Adaine not to tell Fabian anyone else about what her apartment is like. It's one thing to be nice, but it's another to be vulnerable, especially when you've been raised in such a way that every weakness was used as a future attack--so much so that her entire brand of magic is protecting herself and not being vulnerable.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #adaine abernant #aelwyn abernant #d20 #spoilers #not gonna apologize for all the abernant posting #bc I've been waiting for this for YEARS #this is my oscars #anyway I love it when a bit is anchored in like character development #fy aelwyn would have NEVER let adaine see her being this uncool #now she's like pleassssse visit me I miss you

so the queen gets to step back because of her mental breakdown thus putting more pressure on Wille when Wille wasn’t even allowed to properly mourn the loss of his brother and adjust to his new royal title… sounds about right

#i know she lost her son.. her firstborn and in a tragic accident #no parent should ever go through that #i sympathised with her in s1-2 #but they pushed wille away and isolated him #the one good thing was wille going to therapy #too bad that a lot of his character development seems to have stayed in season 2 #young royals #young royals season 3 #yr s3 spoilers #young royals sooilers #young royals s3 #yr season 3

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan xichen #jin guangyao #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #qin su #EDIT: Tumblr published an earlier draft with only half the notes I wrote so: late entry on my JGY thoughts. #Unlike the mystic powers of the stockmarket (what the OG meme is referring to) I think this situation calls for more active investigation. #qin su is such a deeply tragic character to me and I really wish we got a bit more from her. #Love everyone who sent me messages about her after the last time she appeared. #I think she needs a spin off of her being a transmigrator SO badly. #MDZS has so many interesting characters - but it sometimes fails to give them the proper room to really develop past a role in the plot. #That's just the consequence of writing a story like MDZS. Not every character in a book *needs* to have a rich inner life and backstory! #To do so would bog down the story and obliterate any notion of pacing. It's just not possible. #Jin Guangyao (nee Meng Yao) is unfortunately not free from this leeway rule. He is the culprit of this murder mystery plot #and thus NEEDS to encapsulate the themes of the book. And personally he's a 7 out of 10 at best on this front (in the AD). #MDZS is about rumours twisting reality and working towards truth. And about how people & situations are rarely ever black & white #JGY has his motivations. He's well written in regards to his actions making sense for his character. #What started as good traits (drive to succeed & improve his image) became twisted over time (do anything to maintain his image) #and it's a good parallel to WWX! He has the same arc (with different traits)! Bonus points for IGY in that regard. #but man....by the time we confront this guy for murder there's not a lot of grey morality. He's just...deep in the hole *he* dug. #There's a beautiful tragedy to it! More on JGY in later comics - this is getting pretty long already!

realising what I actually need from Suzanne Collins is just a multi-volume panem history book

#which INCLUDES pre-dark days/origins of panem #because i know she has it written somewhere #i want to know everything about panem #and how it came to be #lotr appendices/silmarillion but make it panem #the hunger games #thg #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #that and a character study of haymitch #because whilst katniss's major character development happended during her games #i think haymitch's happened afterwards with what happened to his family/girlfriend and mentoring

nah cause the fact that jane austen wrote a character like emma woodhouse is still insane to me. she threw all the standards out the window and was like hey, here’s this incredibly complex and nuanced character, she’s selfish, privileged, manipulative and arrogant, but she’s also really fucking kind, she would do anything for those she loves (including sacrificing a lot of her liberties), she is able to admit that she’s made a mistake and grow from it, because those things are not mutually exclusive. and i think the reason why everyone is trying to girlbossify their heroines to make them like lizzie bennet (which is an insult to her character but that’s another story) is because they’re scared to write characters like emma. which is understandable, because she’s unlikeable-ish, and they don’t want to take that risk.

honestly the way jane wrote emma is IMPECCABLE and not everyone can pull it off, but i wish female characters with actual flaws were more popular.

#jane austen #emma #emma woodhouse #i’ll defend her to death #lizzie is actually really flawed too but people just write her off as a “badass sassy female character” which kinda erases her development

been thinking about the sinnohtrio lately......plus misc other stuff

also, casual ko-fi drop!! get something in this sketchy style starting at $10 woop woop

#finally decided to do a commission test run u_u #pokemon #trainer lyra #trainer kris #trainer dawn #trainer lucas #rival barry #rival silver #ayalumi #hisuian zorua #luxio #timeskip tag #rkgk #anyway it's sinnoh time !!! #still figuring out their designs and lore but this works for now #god's specialest little guys & their very normal bestfriend who they would kill/die for. up to interpretation who is killing/dying #dawn is the platinum protag who meets giratina and becomes champion #distortion world affected her way more than compared to cynthia and cyrus since she's still a developing kid. but hey cool ghost hair! #4-5 yrs later lucas gets blasted to hisui..lost his memory for the three years he's there and when arceus sends him back he's just like Man #the entire time barry is CHILLING PLAYING HAVING FUN #and forever worried abt his friends ): dawn & lucas are soo nonchalant about what happened to them it's a bit concerning to everyone else #design comments umm the only thing that matters is that they still have their og scarves 👍 #and i guesss these are spring/summer outfits. winter dawn gets leggings and big coat ok. she already has too much yin energy #btw i use the cleanse tag as the direct opposition to the spell tag even tho that's probably not a real thing LOL) #oh yea barry wears the tower master ribbon 24/7. tower tycoon in training and won't shut up about it (i love him) #character dynamics i will talk abt that in another post if i feel like it... these days i just want to go replay pla aughh

“I can fix him” Are you Nina Zenik? And is he Matthias Helvar? No? Then you can’t fix him, sorry girl

#Matthias’ character development was insane though #like Nina didn’t even fix him she had him fix himself for her #six of crows #nina zenik #matthias helvar #helnik

fond of marcille (id in alt)

#dungeon meshi #marcille donato #i love her so much… FRANKLY i knew i would like her but i didn’t think she’d be my favorite and Yet… #she has thoroughly enraptured me with how much she fails and yet continues to try and try again #her character also surprised me sooo much while i was reading dunmeshi… there’s a natural feel to how characters both develop and can #regress in dunmeshi - that push and pull made every chapter feel unexpected and enjoyable to experience… esp true with marcie’s chara imo #ruporas art

i need to talk about how much i love the pjo show's way of introducing annabeth's character's backstory, specifically through her getting used to percy's chronic loyalty

the way she attacks him with a hug both times she thought he might've been gone forever??? (the arch and after he returns to chb) this girl who doesn't hold her breath over people staying around for her, who is so so relieved everytime percy comes back to her

the way she is absolutely appalled by percy's insisent reassurance. his "i'm perfectly comfortable with that, people make mistakes" his "people who love you shouldn't treat you like that" his "you are better at this than me, you just are" this is just percy being percy, always seeing the best in people, and never once treating her like she has to prove anything to him to be treated with care

and she's so caught off guard every time!! she tells grover to tell percy to pull himself together. she tells him "i guess so" when he asks if he has to earn it with her too. she is IMMEDIATELY at a loss for words when percy tells her that she's the one meant for the quest. that she's better at this. that he's not trying to sacrifice himself for his own glory, it has nothing to do with him, he's only thinking of her

and that's so new to annabeth!! someone who isn't trying to make her prove anything! someone who from the beginning saw her worth! not someone like her mother, who would see her die because she felt embarassed by her. not someone like her father, who loved her at first and because of someone else, began to not(or at least she thought so). not like Thalia, who made her prove herself, who for all valiance, still died, still left her. not like Luke, who promised family, and then betrayed her.

she's not used to someone who stays just for her

or in her own words,

"He's not like that, he's better than that"

i love annabeth chase

#this was gonna be a short post lol #i got a little ahead of myself #the rambles #i think i made the same point like three times #for NO reason #anyways i love annabeth chase #how rick riordan(a white man)wrote such a developed and layered female character is beyond me #like who TOLD him #annabeth chase #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percabeth #percy series #pjo series #pjo tv show #pjo #original post #larn’s things #got distracted and didn't even take more time to gush over the show #i just think they did so great with her #it was all super subtle and yet SO obvious #i loved it #larn's things

complexity

#ffxiv #shadowbringers #ryne waters #oc: icarus lastname #warrior of light #wol #viera #myart #ff14 #before people jump down my throat about minfilia hate #icarus just does not care about most people #this isnt a reflection of the quality of her character #anyways #i think a lot about how much of a complex ryne develops being close to someone who cared so much about the og minfilia #but then when she tries to share those feelings w icarus who doesnt even remember who minfilia even is #it's like #different than what happens in canon obviously ehjghjejhgeg #didnt rlly illustrate the conversation in full because he just answers “whos that” and moves on tbh. #also this is very bad and sketchy but i just cannot !!!!!!!!! work on this any longer
