#characters must suffer

[keef-a-corn]

Remember kiddos (and writers-)

If the character comes back post self sacrifice, that’s okay!

If they come back completely recovered after a sacrifice- that’s the problem.

They cannot return as the same character they once were.

Take their limbs, take their pride, take their voice, their eyes, their brain.

They are NOT to return the same.

They are to fear something, they are to cry. They are to hold it in, and decompose because they cannot express that relentless and overwhelming vulnerability that has ripped their mind to shreads.

They are to shake when standing still, they are to sleep on their side because and any other way is too painful for their memories.

They are not to be the same.

Much less better.

#writing #remember kiddos #writing advice #storytelling #characters must suffer #I have seen arguments for why characters shouldn’t return after a sacrifice #and I need this to be understood #when sacrificing themselves #a character needs to loose something #something physical- but more importantly #something psychological #enough with the memory tropes though #I’m not kidding when I tell you it hurts more with their memories #the character #and everyone around them #know what they used to be like before the sacrifice #but they cannot return to a normal they crave? #so much more interesting

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how they think Stella would find it difficult getting pregnant or having issues with pregnancy what’s your opinion on this?

I don't think she'll struggle with having children, but I believe there will be struggle. And a lot of it.

Stella would be hyper-sensitive about her changing body, scared that Brandon wouldn't like her while she's pregnant, afraid she won't be able to lose the baby-weight ...

And then later, when she actually has kids, she'll try to be ever present in their life, to the point of being excessive. She won't want her kids to feel neglected by her, like what happened to her when she was little and sometimes her parents wouldn't talk to each other (or to her) for weeks in a row.)

So ... not a struggle with conceiving ... but with all that comes after.

when the horrors catch up and you take an evening off to batch-process

#obi-wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #ahsoka tano #maybe obi-wan just read the outline for the next wip #why do i love to torture him so #one of my fav fanfic genres has to be meta fic horror #just imagine. how deeply disturbing it must be to find out you're a fictional character #somebody has *intentionally* written all those horrors onto you #and it wasn't even the guy who created you #he did his part. but the ppl who love it most to ruin your life and see you suffer are your fans #it's not enough that there's prob a lot of jedi rpf around in the gffa already. scarred obi-wan for life #lmao drawing anakin like this gave me so many flashbacks to my old ocs where almost every male character had that hair #also i have a job interview in one hour dsdsfhjgj #my art #prahacat draws

Concept: After the one two punch of Tain’s death scene and the official augment reveal, Garak and Julian Do Not talk about it directly for a long long time, but Julian does pointedly assign Frankenstein for their homoerotic book club lunch after Dr. Bashir I Presume. Garak is…Untroubled. 

(“Monstrous fathers create monstrous sons all the time without ever resorting to anything so dramatic or crude as lightning rods and graverobbing, my dear Doctor. Why, in some families it’s practically a tradition. A family trade, honed to perfection over the span of generations.”

“Yeah?” 

“Could anything but such an iterative process explain the existence of Skrain Dukat, do you think?”

“Hah! You know what, you may have a point.”) 

It’s about. The mutual ‘We may both have been made into different kinds of monsters at the hands of our fathers and yeah I guess that kind of sucks. But at least at the end of the day neither of us is Gul Dukat’ emotional security of it all

#garashir #star trek #star trek ds9 #ds9 #julian bashir #elim garak #gul dukat #I know I made a post with a very similar joke recently but frankly I am suffering the mortifying ordeal of having to watch dukat speak #I must channel my burning hatred into dunking on him or else go mad #his one redeeming feature as a character IS that it's hilarious every time he shows up I suppose lol

The Glamrocks

Minor redesigns, but basically how the Glamrocks look for each kid for the various routes.

I wanted the Glamrocks to have a bit more of a kids-attraction vibe then they do in canon, while still keeping their asthetics/core features.

I imagine Freddy and Chica tend draw in more younger kids while Roxy and Monty tend to draw in the older groups and wanted their designs to reflect that as well.

Edit: Here is Glamrock Bonnie and the Daycare Attendant with each of their kids and here is Glamrock Foxy with his Crew

Edit 2: hey I do commissions

im gonna write my thoughts about this in the tags

#look it makes me real nervous when actors interact with fanart i made #i feel a little less nervous when it comes to mr o'neill bc its clear he enjoys all this and shares fanart that is much hornier than this #i made and posted this drawing nearly 1.5 years ago so my man must have dug a bit to find it <33 #and of all art i made of izzy i kind of wanted him to see this one the most #bc i love this character and i see his suffering and i want him to be freeee #and this was an exploration of what that sense of freedom would look like on him #(also an excuse to draw his chest hehe) #hope mr o'neill appreciated it!@!!!!! #despite the initial shock of seeing his name pop up in my notifs #im so pleased haha #i love him1!!!! #ofmd #izzy hands #con o'neill

the "girls seeking an impossible wish trapped in a system that twists them into hollow shells of grief and resentment used by other girls to fuel their own desperate struggle" pipeline is multiversal

(ID and additional context in alt text)

#revue starlight #daiba nana #nana daiba #puella magi madoka magica #akemi homura #homura akemi #doodles #mine #alternate title: give a lesbian a timeloop and she'll achieve unprecedented levels of negative character development #for context the text on nana is the witch walpurgisnacht's desc and the text on homura is from the final scene of revstar's starlight #spec dialogue spoken by claire to her gaystie flora after flora falls from the tower and claire is trapped inside. in case u are not #in the intersection of the venn diagram #we r webweaving #YOU MUST UNDERSTAND. when i realized this i went a little insane #like banana IS walpurgisnachtcore and homura IS floracore #banana wants to create a stage where there is no pain or suffering at the cost of stagnancy. homura makes a promise that madoka #cannot remember. homura falls from the tower time and again while madoka ends her struggle by remaining at the summit and ensuring #that homura never gets her wish (to protect her. to save her) #like i'm ill about it. somebody put homura in the audience for starlight and watch her crumple like a submersible #shoujo kageki revue starlight

ONE: ok guys here’s an arc about mob, in his growth as a person, being confronted with an ideology he’s unfamiliar with, and he has to learn from it but also understand why it’s unhealthy and bad to properly grow from it and choose kindness in the end, albeit in a more nuanced way than before, and this will make mob more able to confront later problems in the season that can’t be solved with mere kindness and require a deep understanding of loneliness and solitude, something he hasn’t had much room to speak on until now. To express mob being shown this villain’s ideology we have a sequence where we see how mogami views the world and by extension how he sees mob, by putting mob in the kind of sad fucked up world he thinks exists, but mob will overcome it with the knowledge that in the real world he has people he cares about and that even the people who make the world bad sometimes can change and nobody is a static evil and kindness and courage when you’re going through hardship goes a long way. despite the darkness this is ultimately a very uplifting experience for him and a show that life is always more than its darkest moments, and also how picking yourself up instead of wallowing in your own suffering and trauma is hard but a very courageous act and what makes mob stronger than mogami

mp100 fans with tunnel vision: Oh so mob was tortured for six months and is sad? He’s literally so sad and traumatized and nobody is talking about this?

#babbles #mp100 #decided to nab an old discord message for Post Purposes #BC i love mogami arc but god the Fandom Mogami Arc™️ where it’s all just #Evil Mogami Sad Mob Whump Look How Sad Why Aren’t We Talking About This!!! #makes me SEE RED. MY GOD #fandoms when characters experience trauma and get takeaways from it that aren’t looking into the camera to go #Wow That Was So Sad I Am Traumatized And Sad Now #I Am So Sad And Must Acknowledge My Trauma By Suffering And Never Growing #and of course coming back to one of my biggest fandom pet peeves which is viewing characters exclusively as People #like mob is so so so dear to me he’s one of my top ccs i care about him so so much #but he’s not a real child being bullied who needs like. counseling. his trauma served a purpose in the story and #dwelling on it was not that purpose!

“Everything in him recoiled. The water was cold against his legs. His body had gone numb and yet he could still feel the wet give of his brother’s rotting flesh beneath his hands. It’s shame that eats men whole. He was drowning in it. He was drowning in the Ketterdam harbor.”

#kanej #kaz brekker #illustration #six of crows #soc #leigh bardugo #shadow and bone #I love him so much #he’s a rat bastard #he’s the smartest person in the room #he won’t quit #he’s trying #the slat fight scene lives in my head rent free #it’s my favorite bit of showing his full character the ‘look no hands’ #giving ‘I’m still standing’ by Elton John #I love characters that brush the blood off their face and still get up #all that to say is my head I love to imagine him happy #but in my art he must suffer #oh also peep Jan’s stolen tie pin

Alastor 100% has Curly Hair

I saw a post of someone making fun of Alastor's undercut but it just made me think. I have curly hair, and once I brush it out it's thick and fluffy af. I have an undercut too and my hair still fluffs up away from my skull at absurd degrees!

The fact that Alastor's hair is still so fluffy even (especially) with the undercut is a point in favor of him having curls. Bro just straightens the hell out of it.

In conclusion, I need curly haired Alastor fics and fanart desperately.

a heart sketch that i don't think i'll finish , so have it !!

#chaos art #chonnys charming chaos compendium #chonny jash #cj heart #cccc heart #VERY messy and stuff #my heart design was very experimental during this sketch #and this is like a month hold sketch methinks ? #yeaah #I FORGOT HIS BACK WINGS TOO DAMNIT #it's okay not all hope is lost because this is just a sketch #rare art of heart being peaceful !! i usually see him getting absolutely wrecked or something #to be fair i don't draw him in the calmest of situations.. sooooo... #oops ! #favourite character must suffer i guess

[seriousbrat]

honestly i get whiplash bc I see takes that are like "jkr HATED SNAPE he's her least favourite character and she mistreated him" and then immediately I'll see someone else b like "jkr LOVED SNAPE he was woobified and his actions excused" . ladies calm down. he is simply complex and multifaceted. he is beautiful yet ugly. he is hateable yet lovable. he is brave yet cowardly. he is beyond our understanding and yet he lives in every one of us.

#although id say he's probably one of her faves but she did not woobify him imo lol #the CORRECT take is that he is just an interesting character to write bc he's good and bad #embrace him as i have embraced him! #severus snape #the fine line i must walk alone (with my snutuals) #(snape mutuals) putting 'sn' in front of everything to make it about snape is so funny to me. first time i saw 'snlog' i died #seriously though he did bad things but also suffered and is worthy of sympathy. that means good character to me #snuffered. snympathy. god

Give me a fic where none of our beloved characters dies. Give me Merlin telling Arthur and the rest of the knights + Gwen that he is Emrys. Give me Morgana repairing her ties with Camelot, her brother Arthur, her bestfriend (or more ?) Gwen and her magical-can-relate-to-and-be-guided-by friend Merlin. Give me Merlin regaining the trust of Aithusa. Give me Merlin realising that Kilgarama was wrong, that he shouldn't trust him. Give me Merlin recognising that he treated Mordred unfairly and try to amend for his mistakes. Give me Aithusa fighting Kilgamamea. Give me the found family trope. Sprinkle that shit with some Merlin angst.

#merlin #bbc merlin #merthur #morgwen #I can't spell Kilgharrah #doesn't matter tho lol #merlin is my fav character so he must suffer a little bit #found family trope my beloved #if you know a fic like this or similar #do let me know

oh the idea of trevor accidentally slipping into subspace with jamie’s hand in his hair… i’d imagine that’d be really scary for him??

Actually yeah that's horrifying: the one thing that would actually be comforting to him and begin to address his deepest unmet needs, and it would be a terrifying experience that would only get him more upset. Y'all I need to write this story EXTREMELY SOON.
