Do you have any advice or specific tips to writing a low/no empathy character? Or a resource to recommend?

Hi nonny! Thanks for asking! I'm going to try my best to answer your question, but keep in mind, this is all based on my own personal experience, and that varies vastly from person to person. (if anyone else experiences low/no empathy, please feel free to add on to this post!)

So, some things to keep in mind:

Why does your character experience low/no empathy? For me, it's a symptom of my autism, but there are multiple reasons a character could have low/no empathy. The most common is probably going to be some form of disability (autism), or disorder (psychopathy), etc. (Be careful while doing research though, especially on disorders like psychopathy! You're going to run into a lot of ableist bullshit. Make sure to look for sources written by people living with these disorders/disabilities.) (If anyone has any resources on other disabilities or disorders that cause low empathy that they personally recommend, please feel free to add links!!!) Whatever the reason, it's not going to only affect their empathy. It's going to affect every part of their life. So make sure to do your research, and write respectfully. If you know someone or follow someone who has a certain condition, ask if they'd feel comfortable answering questions for you. If they aren't, that's fine. If they are, they're going to be a great resource. (I'd also recommend getting a sensitivity reader, particularly when writing about mental disorders that are already frequently stigmatized. You want to make sure you're not promoting harmful stereotypes.) I should note, however, that neurotypical people can also have low/no empathy!!! It just happens to also be a common symptom of various mental disorders.

Consider what kind of empathy does your character lack. There are two kinds of empathy! Emotional (or affective) empathy, and cognitive empathy. Affective empathy is made up of three parts: Feeling the same emotion as someone else, feeling discomfort or stress in response to someone else's suffering, and feeling compassion for or understanding another's emotions. Cognitive empathy is the ability to recognize and understand the emotions of someone else. This includes being to "stand in someone else's shoes", or take another person's perspective, and generally understand what they're feeling. This one has been called more of a "skill", in that it's something people can "learn", where as affective empathy can't be taught or learned. When people talk about having low/no empathy, they are usually referring to lacking affective empathy, but a character might struggle with both!

Not everyone experiences empathy the same. Some people lack empathy in some circumstances, but have it in others. For example, I lack empathy when it comes to human beings, but I am much more empathetic when it comes to animals. A character might only be able to empathize with very specific scenarios or people. (For example, if someone else is going through a very similar scenario to one they have experienced in the past, it may be easier for them to feel empathy. But it might not!) Some people can empathize with certain emotions better than others. (I empathize better with anger, but can't empathize at all with grief.)

Understand that a lack of empathy does not equal a lack of caring. Just because a person doesn't feel the emotions someone else is feeling doesn't mean they don't care. A person with low or no empathy can still be kind and compassionate to others. They might go about trying to cheer people up in a slightly different way (I personally tend to try and go for distractions), but they still care about their friends and loved ones. Even seemingly "uncaring" things said by those who lack empathy do not come from a place of malice. (I can't tell you how many times I've said something well-meaning and had people assume I was being cruel. I wasn't, and I genuinely had good intentions.)

Keep in mind how your character reacts to other's emotions. People with empathy tend to feel similarly to those they empathize with, which generally creates a feeling of connection. (This is part of what leads to that sense of "coming together after tragedy".) A person with low/no empathy might instead feel alienated or uncomfortable when faced with large outpourings of emotions. They might be uncertain how to act or what to do, and they may try and avoid situations with strong negative emotions because of it. (In my case, people crying makes me very uncomfortable, because I don't know how to respond. So I try and keep my distance.)

Think about how your character processes their own emotions. Just because a character doesn't feel empathy for others doesn't mean that they are incapable of feeling those emotions on their own. A character who has no empathy for a grieving friend can still grieve! But chances are they will process that emotion differently than a person with "normal" empathy. They might try to push their emotions away and bottle them up. Or one emotion might transition into one they have an easier time processing. (For me, I don't experience sadness normally. It either transitions to anger, or it is replaced by different thoughts.)

Think about how their lack of empathy influences their life. A person who lacks empathy is not going to experience life the same way as a person with "normal" empathy. They might have a hard time making friends, or they might excel at a job that requires a logical mind. They might give great advice, or their friends might know to never ask them about relationships. They might be great at organizing people, even in times of stress, because their brain compartmentalizes and thinks pragmatically. They might totally shut down when faced with an emotional situation because they don't know how to process it.

Having no empathy can be very alienating. People expect empathy constantly. It's a big part of why people love emotional media, and it's the expected response when someone you know experiences suffering. Not having empathy can mean that you feel disconnected from your loved ones or community as a whole. It might mean biting your tongue and not saying what you think because people would read it as uncaring or cruel.

Remember: Having low or no empathy is not a bad thing. People with low/no empathy are often villainized in media, and the trait is often given to antagonists. But that's a harmful stereotype and harmful belief in general. That's not saying that your character with low empathy has to be "good", but don't use their low empathy as proof that they're a "bad person". Try thinking about situations in which having low/no empathy might be useful! I personally am reminded of the post I saw years ago where someone was saying that if not for their lack of empathy, they probably couldn't do their job. (iirc, they worked handling the bodies of organ donors, some of whom were quite young.)

Okay, that's all I can think of for now, but like I said before, anyone else who experiences low or no empathy is encouraged to reblog this post and add on to it! And if I made any mistakes here, please let me know so I can fix them!!! I tried to base this mostly off of my own experience, so take it all with a grain of salt.

[Ep. 16] The Beach Episode Spa Arc

Well… I can’t argue with the numbers. I was going to give Julesx2 the chance to stay if their relationships with each other weren’t higher than their bars with Daniel: but lo and behold, these two have been building up their relationship more than I thought!

Being in control of Dan alone has its perks, but it also means I rarely ever see the relationships the contestants are building with each other - I knew these two spent a lot of time together, but damn! By the time this happened with Daniel literally just upstairs, it seems like Julien and Julian have found their perfect match: while it isn’t with our Bachelor, I think we should be happy for them regardless! 🥹

They will be getting a proper send-off post after we see a small moment of Daniel, Alone, going to grab a coffee before the next Rose Ceremony’s planning. To @mattodore and @morrigan-sims, thank you both for these darling, darling boys! They really are very happy together 🥹

hiii joseph. If this is annoying or a bother, please tell me to stfu, but I was wondering if you have any tips for drawing blood? I know you've done it on a couple of your edits and it always looks so good, and I'm in a position now where I need to for an edit, and I have no idea where to start. Thanks!! 💖

hii im so sorry iw as like waiting for an opportunity to make this a whole tutorial but then i forgot about it RIP i'll just talk at u if thats ok. i might add actual process pictures later

so firstly when drawing blood u have to consider three things:

how much blood is there/where did the blood come from

how long has the blood been there/has it been smudged or altered in some way

what material is the blood currently on

the answer to these questions informs how the blood is going to look. a fresh arterial spray on skin and clothes is going to look a LOT different than a pool of it thats been on a hardwood floor for a few hours/days. i would recommend looking up references if u have the stomach for it but if not u can still watch like shows/movies so its not actually for real. if thats still too much then idk u dont have any business trying to make a bloody edit at all sorry SFDGHJK. google images will do u a world of good but uhhhh im gonna be real i have a login to a website that stockpiles real crime scene photos for forensic and crime (??) students which i usually head to but im not comfortable sharing that LMAO. i swear google images is still fine though

i usually just copy almost exactly what im seeing on the screen so the method varies a lot but its mostly various shades of dull red drawn on several multiply layers. erasing using a low opacity brush helps for like ?? layering?? blood doesn't dry uniformly, some parts will be darker than others etc. in a lot of lightings blood will just look straight up black. if thats the case i usually manually add a bit of solid red to act like a highlight. also u dont have to get too precise with it a bit of a suggested smudge can go a long way

i have a few examples of some of my drawings of blood here im going to just explain in the alt text what caused the blood/affected the blood so it looks the way it does

blood drawn on fabric:

blood drawn on solid surfaces:

blood drawn on skin:

i also use these blood overlays (only some of them will show over clothes rip): 1 2 3

#bloodtw #while getting example pics i realised i use blood like. a LOT. sue me if its not the sexiest bodily fluid like- #ask #reply #morrigan-sims #tutorial

Who's your favorite demon/devil in fighting games?

(that or demonically-empowered)

...I mean, aside my very obvious love for Jin and Iori, you mean?

Well, Siegfried/Nightmare is also a beloved fave. All my PCs have been named after him, currently we're at Siegfried the 3rd.

And well, Dante was in a few crossover FGs so I guess he does count? I'm very out of the loop with DMC, but my love for this middle-aged half demonic himbo is forever.

...does Morrigan counts as "demonically emporwered" since she's a succubus? If yes, add her too to the list!

Hi River! It's time for Random Asks: Editing Edition!

What part of your editing are you most proud of?

What part of the editing process do you enjoy the most?

tbh this was hard for me to answer bc i honestly don't really like where i'm at wrt my editing skills. but i think i have the most fun with the liquify tool! and... well, i guess i'm proud of myself for actually starting to edit this year since i've never actually done it before. plus, while i don't think my edits are really anything special, i do know that they're better now than they were at the start of the year.

like starting from the old stuff to newer things i've done...

i started with just playing with the colors and overlays, maybe using the spot healing brush and blurring things a bit. then i started learning how to make poses for echthroi posts:

then i was like okay... let me close photoshop and see what happens in procreate when idk what anything does—while also still making poses (like these are all my poses weeeee):

(that cigarette one is so sad </3 because i love those poses and they took me forever to make! the post is really colorful and pretty tbh! the problem tho is that theo looks ALL WRONG!! and i didn't know wtf i was doing with that luminosity brush lmao. i'd love to redo it someday with mattodore's updated sims and everything).

and then i went back to just using photoshop. and in sept. i wanted to experiment with blood and lighting/shadows for theo's birthday post so i did that. i think the coloring is... whatever. and it's pretty simple (or it looks that way… really this took me hours and hours of work. the original image was huge) bc ik i wasn't doing so hot at the time... but i'm really proud of the lighting and i like the poses i made for it. also the little bit of writing i did in the caption was nice. i'm a lot better at writing than editing, clearly:

and then in the last three months i think the cas edits i've been doing have been superrr gorgeous. i learned a lot from theo's birthday post and have actually been utilizing light and shadows since then:

and then the last edit i did just a few days ago... it's easily my favorite theo pic i have now :) i didn't think i'd even share this on here... like i was just going to post it to pillowfort so i only intended to fix some clipping and smooth out the edges of theo's knees, but i ended up doing waaaay more than that. i like the way i colored it a lot. the face highlights, the blur, the slight vignette, and the chromatic aberration are pretty too. i just really like it... plus theo is beyond gorgeous as always:

like... honestly my editing really isn't anything special. um... but i do think it's better now than it was before. and i like what i've done recently (like these last two months specifically lmao)! i'm nowhere near where i'd like to be, but at least mattodore are so pretty it kind of carries any edit i make for them now lmaooo

#river dipping #asks #morrigan-sims #thank you for asking even tho i took foreverrr to reply #i really want to keep getting better at editing... coloring is the thing i wanna really focus on eventually #rn i just rely on my gshade preset / this psd i made forever ago / and this other psd and overlay i've started using #i need to just start making little edits here and there again tbh #but i've been focusing more on writing than anything else lately

yessss, morrigan has one of the best DAO friendships; her VA absolutely nailed her lines about finding a friend, a sister - 10/10 heartbreaking content, almost makes me cry, would recommend. Morrigan is one of the characters I will make a point to get to max approval with. zev has the best party banter but also im never able to keep him alive in combat?? so i take leliana, my other bestie - talk about shoes and alistair in bed ahaha

Morrigan is like my blorbo in law because my good friend loves her so much so I respect her!!!! Her friendship speech with a male warden is also so great like they're her first real friend!!! It's lovely

Zevran's banter does spark so much joy....he is so special even tho he can't open any locks <3

#reply #genuinly alistair is like. always a main stay in any party who i sometimes switch out for sten but not much #leliana zevran are very interchangeable it depends on who im romancing <3 #and morrigan is just my main mage sorrh wynne you are not as much to me

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you’ll ever update your cc wrench icon mod? It’s my favorite one, but it’s been glitching out my UI really badly after the last couple updates. Thanks so much for answering! Hope you have a lovely day.

Hiya! If you check my blog, you'll notice I've answered a few questions about this already. ^^

I'm playing on the latest patch with all the EPs, and the 1.98 version (the latest version as of writing) is working just fine for me, and doesn't need updating for the newest patch (1.99). (I tried updating it, but all the resources I edit are exactly the same as previously, so even if I made an updated file it would be exactly the same as the current one).

If you're having problems, here's what I'd suggest:

Take a look and make sure you have the latest version of the package file downloaded (it should say 1.98 at the end). If you have an earlier version, delete it and replace it with the newest one. (You can only have one version in your mods folder at a time.)

If you already have the newest version in your mods folder, try downloading it again and replacing your current version with the one you just downloaded. It's possible that updating the game might have corrupted the file somehow.

If it's *still* not working, I honestly have no idea what to suggest. :( You could try a different CC Wrench mod that's confirmed working, like ClaudiaSharon's here. Also make sure other mods you might have that edit the UI are updated and cleared for this patch. The usual offenders for breaking the UI are TwistedMexi's Better Build/Buy and Weerbesu's More Columns in CAS.

I hope you're able to figure it out! <3

Hey!!! Since you said you have a lot figured out for your WIPs I'm interested in your answers!!

what natural resources does each nation have that the others don't? do they export/trade it at all? (For any WIP you wanna answer for!)

@bloodlessheirbyjacques 👀❤️‍🔥

JACQUES, I LOVE YOU!!!!!! I'll try to keep this at least somewhat brief, but be warned, you have NO idea what floodgates you have just opened. (I actually intended to make a post like this literally over a year ago, so thank you for helping me make it!!)

Get ready for:

Econ 101 - A Crash-Course in Continental Trade Policy

Before we get started, here's some things you might find helpful:

a map of the continent (see below)

an explanation of why Anvia and Oryn don't get along

under the cut because hoo boy, this is a LOT.

Anvia, the kingdom where ATQH takes place (and which Fallon rules) is primarily an agricultural society. The country's position in the middle of the continent, plus the river running through the kingdom providing fertile land, gives makes it the best-suited area for agriculture on the continent. (Side Note: It gets colder as you got west-northwest on this continent. Oryn is cold, with long winters and short summers, while Oraine is extremely hot and the land dries up quickly.)

They grow crops and raise animals not only for their own survival, but for export to the neighboring nations. Anvia also has a decent number of craftspeople living in its larger cities, who use crop byproducts (or non-food crops) and animal products to make other products, such as textiles, leather products, etc.

Thus, Anvia's main products/exports are food crops (apples, wheat, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, lettuce, cabbages, carrots, peas, hops, among other things), created food products (wine, ale, baked goods, jams, jellies, preserves) as well as animal products (largely wool, but things like eggs, cheese, and milk may also be exported), and craftsproduts (textiles and leather products, for example).

Due to the fact that most of Anvia is farmland, be it crop fields or livestock pastures, there is very little opportunity for logging. Even the areas that haven't been developed for farming are largely prairie-like areas. Also, Anvia lacks substantial access to mountains or mineral deposits for mining. So they are lacking in construction materials such as timber, stone, and metals.

Oryn, on the other hand, is ripe with construction goods. They have massive mines scattered throughout the kingdom, especially along the mountain range that borders with Anvia. (Ironkeep, the fortress to the Northeast of Westcliff, is a major stronghold built to protect Oryn's most profitable mines.) Additionally, a massive portion of the kingdom is covered in forests, so logging is another major industry.

(Side Note: Kristopher's father and the current king of Oryn, Pierre, has increased both of these industries massively. The working conditions in both tend to be hazardous, with many people being injured or killed. (Fun Fact: If you want to know how Pierre runs his kingdom, listen to Eat Your Young by Hozier.) Kristopher believes that his father is ruining Oryn, not only by ruining much of its natural land, but also by working the people so hard.)

Notably, Oryn is also home to significant number of craftspeople, specializing in blacksmithing, metalworking, and jeweling. Orynian weapons and armor are said to be stronger and more durable than any others, and jewelry made by Orynian jewelers with Orynian stones is highly prized across the continent and beyond.

Oryn's main exports are lumber, stone, metal (raw, processed, and crafted into items), and jewels (raw, processed, and made into jewelry).

However, what Oryn severely lacks is fertile farmland. Not only is most of the land covered in trees, but the soil is quite rocky -- far from ideal for large-scale farming. (The hilly, mountainous terrain doesn't help.)

So, you can probably see why Oryn and Anvia need each other. They are forced to trade with one another to ensure the survival of both kingdoms. However, as I've explained in the past, the two kingdoms have a long history of tension between them -- which actually was the result of conflict over resources to begin with. However, despite this obvious codependency, neither one has been willing to suck up their pride and open direct negotiations between the two nations. (Fallon has tried several times during her rule, but has never once received a response from Pierre.)

So, this is where Oraine steps in. Oraine has a very hot environment, and aside from a few choice crops, not much of trade value grows there. (Their main exports, aside from a few "exotic delicacies", are fancy goods, such as fine clothes, art, and fancy furniture.) However, what Oraine does have is massive amounts of accessible coastline. Because of this, they have a long history of ship-building and maritime trade. Fortuitously for Oraine, Anvia and Oryn's border is mostly treacherous mountains, which makes overland travel difficult.

So, at some point in the past few centuries, some clever Orainian had an idea, and Orain graciously stepped in, offering to conduct trade between the two kingdoms -- for a fee, of course. Eager to continue their mutual cold-shoulder treatment, Anvia and Oryn were quick to accept the proposal. It was agreed upon that both Anvia and Oryn would be able to use Orainian ships to send their goods to each other, to Oraine, and beyond.

There are multiple companies (each owned by wealthy merchant families) that offer these services, both within the continent and beyond, and each is free to set their own price and negotiate their own service contracts with individuals, companies, or the nations themselves. However, they are charge a hefty tax that goes directly to the pockets of the ruler (currently Empress Adrienne) of Oraine.

Not only that, but Orainian merchants are well aware of how necessary their services are to both Anvia and Oryn. As such, their fees are often ridiculously overpriced. And Anvia and Oryn pay them, because they don't have any other choice. (Well, they could choose to talk to each other and begin their own trading initiatives instead of settling for Oraine's horrid prices, but why would they ever do that?)

To tie all this back to the messy international politics of the continent, the Empress of Oraine has her own fleet of trading ships that carry out trades on her behalf. It is these ships that the rulers of Anvia and Oryn are required to use when they wish to send something more between them for political purposes. Orainian leaders have long claimed this is to "supervise" and "prevent increased hostility", but in reality it's just another way to line the ruler's pockets.

The rulers of both kingdoms have signed contracts with the Empire, including a rate of charge for the service. The Empress continually pushes to raise said rate, with the monarchs attempt to negotiate a lower price -- or at least keep the same one they had before. But it's a precarious slope, because if they push too hard, the Empress could retract her offer altogether, which would be disastrous (at least in the short term) for the two kingdoms, until they were able to communicate in a civil manner and establish their own trade barriers. (Of course, the Empress has no intention of actually rescinding her offer -- it's far too profitable -- but the monarchs don't know that...)

And that's all, folks!! To anyone who read all 1,092 words of this, I am hugging you (if you accept), and buying you your favorite meal. Hopefully this isn't too boring of a read...

What are your thoughts on these 4chan “leaks”? Personally I don’t believe them as the ME4 leaks have already been debunked by their project director, DA Reorigins picture uses a fan art model of Morrigan, Bioware Ambassadors are for the Gear store only and it’s just highly unlikely for a game tester to know this much information when they let go of all the game testers back in August 2023! Not to mention all the Dreadwolf plot leaks are taken from previously released concept art, theories we’ve all had for years and the leak we had of gameplay last February!

hi seph! I hope you're doing well! I have a question. How do you get the lighting in your edits to be so damn good? I mean, before you edit them. I always want to take in-game pics for edits, but the lighting is always so abysmal. Do you have any tips or tricks for getting a good lighting set up? Thanks for answering!!

(P.S. - I think you were sick at the time, so idk if you saw it, but I did your telephone cas challenge a bit ago. If you haven't seen it.)

HI sorry that this has been sitting in my ask box for like two months i just never had the opportunity/memory to actually address it fghjk but ok here goes it's really simple imo?

im presuming we're talking about plain background edits for this, although the general uh method for this is the same regardless of having a "set" or not. firstly i use these backgrounds, i've used them in most of my ingame edits here here and here, combined with the lights in this set which i use in all my ingame edits pretty much

make a big empty room, and line the walls that will be in the direction of the camera with the backdrops. i usually use only one or two of the lights (and shrink them down so the mesh itself is less intrusive) to light the scene because underexposed images are wayyy easier to edit then over exposed images. less is more- in this case i literally only used the one. not too close to the sim either or you're liable to wash them out entirely

i think an important thing to keep in mind is where the angle of light is coming from? straight on can make your images look flat, from directly behind and you can't see a thing. i usually do one to the side of the sim and (if i want more light) one slightly behind but sort of far away. u can change the colours of the lights themselves too to make it more expressive i tend to stay away from greens and oranges because i find those more difficult to edit

i went hunting in my screenshots folder for examples of this general idea, sorry you really can't see the lighting i used but its pretty much what i just said hgjkl again its better underexposed then overexposed. also zoom in the camera by the scrollwheel and use the keys to back away from the shot to make them look nicer too

i really didn't know how to explain this adequately sorry FDGHJKl ur welcome to keep sending me more specific questions if you have any more
