Would you mind sharing some advice on how to write a smug and very killable antagonist?
oh man wish i could easily articulate that but its less that i intentionally wrote that and more that it just happened dfnfdjkfd
have fun
explain, don't justify. when character makes an awful decision readers should go "hm. i see how you came to that. i just dont respect it" or "THATS WHAT I THOUGHT YOUD SAY YOU DUMB FUCKING HORSE"
making a very "extra" or "smug" type of character may make it feel like they're breaking character sometimes but in my honest opinion there is no such thing as OOC (out of character) behavior. humans are complicated and sometimes we react unusually be it putting on a show for a joke or to be intimidating or whatever. there can be however an overuse of those "OOC" moments where if it happens too often you should consider if maybe you shouldn't switch up what the basic personality of this character is supposed to be (for example before i started writing abomination magenta used to be super chaotic and not that deep of a character, to try to tell a more coherent story where the character isnt behaving too much on the nose i had to contain him a little. but as you see he is still quite a rascal, he's just gained more seriousness, he can be a smug asshole but not all the time, sometimes he forces that behavior through a serious situation to show him trying to put on a mask etc etc)
decide how realistic you want your characters to be. if they are supposed to be very realistic then they should be toned down considerably, not to be straight up boring but if a character is too over the top in a supposedly realistic setup then that can be pretty jarring. my setup is not very realistic so it gave me more space to make my characters more exaggerated, especially their cartoon world versions because it even makes sense to say they are more exaggerated versions of their real counterparts as their personalities undergo the cartoonifying process :) thats why real magenta and story magenta are quite different characters personality wise

Best ways to make money online for beginners
In today's digital age, the internet offers a plethora of opportunities for individuals to earn money from the comfort of their homes. Whether you're a student, a stay-at-home parent, or someone looking to supplement their income, the online world has something for everyone. In this guide, we'll explore some of the best and most accessible ways for beginners to make money online.
Freelancing:
One of the most straightforward ways to start making money online is by freelancing. Websites like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer connect freelancers with clients looking for services such as writing, graphic design, programming, and more. As a beginner, you can create a profile highlighting your skills and start bidding on available projects.
Online Surveys and Reviews:
Companies are always seeking feedback, and they are willing to pay for your opinions. Websites like Swagbucks, Survey Junkie, and Vindale Research offer cash or gift cards in exchange for participating in surveys, watching videos, or writing product reviews. While the payouts may be modest, they are an easy and low-effort way to start earning.
Affiliate Marketing:
Affiliate marketing involves promoting products and earning a commission for each sale made through your unique affiliate link. Beginners can start by joining affiliate programs of companies like Amazon Associates, ShareASale, or ClickBank. Create content around the products you're promoting, such as blog posts or videos, and share your affiliate links to earn a percentage of the sales.
Online Tutoring:
If you excel in a particular subject, consider becoming an online tutor. Websites like Chegg Tutors, Tutor.com, and Wyzant connect students with tutors for one-on-one sessions. As a tutor, you can set your own schedule and rates, making it a flexible option for those with expertise in various subjects.
Content Creation on YouTube:
YouTube is not just a platform for entertainment; it's also a lucrative space for content creators. Create videos around your passions or expertise, and once you've built a following, you can monetize your channel through ads, sponsorships, and merchandise. Quality content, consistency, and engagement with your audience are key to success on YouTube.
Sell Handmade Products on Etsy:
If you have a crafty side, Etsy provides a platform to sell handmade or vintage items. From jewelry and artwork to customized gifts, Etsy allows you to turn your hobbies into a profitable venture. Invest time in creating appealing product listings and providing excellent customer service to build a positive reputation.
Remote Customer Service:
Many companies hire remote customer service representatives to handle inquiries via phone, chat, or email. Websites like Remote.co and Indeed list remote customer service jobs that allow you to work from home. As long as you have good communication skills and a reliable internet connection, this can be a great entry point for beginners.
Making money online as a beginner is more achievable than ever, thanks to the diverse opportunities available. Whether you choose freelancing, affiliate marketing, content creation, or selling handmade products, the key is to start small, stay consistent, and continuously improve your skills. With dedication and effort, the online world can become a rewarding source of income for anyone willing to explore its vast possibilities.
