#morally grey character

[martinakl13]

My kids once asked me: So mom, are the Crows really thieves?

Me: Yes, they are.

Kids: But they are good ones, aren't they?

Me (wondering hard if my kids are old enough to understand what is a morally grey character): Yep, they are good.

If this is how people think a morally correct character should be, we will never have any interesting, nuance and complex morally correct or morally good characters. Demanding morally correct character to *always find a way to do the right thing *the right way in the moment (Like how do we define "the right way" to do sth in certain situations) will limit so many creative choices for morally good characters, especially when creating dilemmas and resolutions for morally correct character. A morally character that has zero low points and always do the right thing in the right way in every situation would slowly become more an ideal rather than a character.

Good people, or in this case, morally good characters should be allowed to have low points and commit morally questionable deeds, especially in the extreme circumstances. Human or humanized characters can act irrationally and make choices that sometimes go agaisnt their morals unconsciously in desperate moments. What make them different from those morally grey characters and villains is that after those mistakes happen, morally good characters would never make excuses for themselves, even when they lost controls, never make those terrible deeds again even if they could bring good outcomes, and willing to do everything to redeem themselves, even face the consequences that would cost them everything.

For instance, a morally grey characters after commiting a questionable deed will be like "this is for our own good. There is no other way. We would have lost if we... ", while a morally good characters will be like "Am I doing the right thing? Is this the only choice I have? Or there are better options that I haven't even bothered to find? Am I going too far? I feel regret for this deed as I believe I would have done better than this".

The point of morally correct character is not just simply "always doing the right things in every circumstance", because that is unrealistic as fuck. The point of morally correct character is aiming to do the right things while dealing with temptations and hardships that would lead them to falter from their morals and principles and make wrong choices. But in the end, the character still choose to maintain their moral standards, and continue to do the deeds that align with their morals as best as they can.

Morally correct character doesn't need to have character development to be better person to be interesting and complex. They can be static with their moral values and virtues, but it is how these characters navigate through circumstances and challenges with their moral values guiding them to make decisions and choices that results in different outcomes, both bad and good.

#morally correct character #morally grey character #Rant #Shout to the back #Morally correct character can be very complex and nuance #They are allowed to make fuck-up decisions #It depends on how they reflect back their choices and deeds aftermath #That would set them apart from morally grey characters #And yes this about WWX #And mdzs fandom in general #This is also for characters like Optimus Prime too #And Superman too #No need to make them morally grey to make them interesting #Making a morally good character into morally-grey is easy cop-out at this point #wwx

ANOTHER NEW OC??????? thats crazy omg,,

L O R E T I M E:

those little streaky things indicate her telekenesis (because how the fuck else do i show that in a still image), though she has mixed magic. he fronting magic is, of course, telekenesis, but she also has mild fire elemental magic. she cannot create flame, btu she can conftrol fire if it is already there, and she has a higher body temp than normal. the reason for the glowy tattoos is bc of the telekenesis (glows when her powers are hat work, they're just tattoos when she's not actively using them) and the reason that the other character who also has telekenesis doesnt have tattoos is because his eyes glow instead. all telekenetics have a glowy bit (official title in the works) for some people it's their hands, some have tattoos, some their eyes, some their hair, ect. ect.

Ruby For Your Thoughts? (Request)

Request: I have a request: At the end of Pure Blooded Thief, Henry brings the Romanian Ruby to Galeforce and Charles. Turns out he didn't go rouge, he just thought recovering the stolen Romanian Ruby from the Airship would be good evidence against the Toppat Clan.

I kept this one relatively simple so I hope you all don't mind that. It's just involving Henry and Galeforce's Pov since I don't see them interact enough in the fandom. 

As well, some light sprinkling of morally gray Galeforce down below if you can classify him as that here? 

Galeforce looked up and down at the ruby then over at Henry, confusion written on his aged features, "This. Uh… Why would you go through all this to just give us this?"

As the General took a final glance at the Romanian Ruby he shook his head and appeared as if a disappointed parent.  

"This will help us, yes, as evidence against the Toppat clan" Galeforce went to explain, running his hand through his long, grey beard, "Doing this was most certainly the long way around though? I must admit wouldn't it have been easier for everyone involved if you did just what was asked of you?"

Flicking his grey eyes towards the thief in question, Galeforce achingly straightened his posture thankful that nobody was here to witness the conversation between the men. 

"I. I know… I might've panicked back there. Kinda? It's hard to explain it" Henry guiltily responded, immediately looking off from the stern expression on the older man's face. 

"You panicked? That's quite hard to believe. You seemed just fine when I saw you" 

"Okay. Maybe panicked isn't the right word to describe it, alright. I saw the Romanian Ruby and I wanted it. So desperately, I couldn't help myself"

Henry rolls his head resulting in his sore joints loudly popping as he fiddles with his jacket's zipper, "I'm trying to make up for it. I didn't bring the ruby alone. I got the files you were looking for at the last moment. To make up for it" 

Guilt was eating Henry up slowly like a greedy parasite. It didn't help either that the General remained distantly cold with him, likely not trusting a single word he had to say. A topic change might help in the long run.

"Um. How's uh, Charlie doing? Whatever his name was… He seemed like a cool guy?" 

Or to make it worse, Henry was openly cringing when forced to witness the elder stiffening, tight-lipped frown deepen and seemingly gritting his teeth. 

"Charles Calvin. He's doing fine" Galeforce murmured in a low deadpan. "Now let's get back to the topic at hand, Stickmin. You came crawling back expecting us. Me or anyone else to take you back in without question? I do sincerely hope you know that I'm not going to give you a pardon so easily this time" 

Sliding down in his seat slightly, the thief nodded in understanding since he wasn't expecting much. He was simply surprised they didn't shoot him down at first sight and that General Galeforce would allow him to even speak.

"I get it. I really do. I don't enjoy what I do. Only asking for you to give me another chance. I'll prove it to you in any way I can" 

"Good. I'm usually not a very forgiving man on these sorts of things. More when it comes with criminals like yourself. You're cunning and likely to backstab to get what you desire. I wouldn't want that to happen again. Horrible and tragic things tend to happen then. Unless, Stickmin, you would like to face those consequences head on, wouldn't you? It's what you do best in?" 

Planting a hand on Henry's slumped shoulder, the man in question didn't bother to argue back as Galeforce patted it a few times after his mild threat, "Nobody would ever suspect a thing? You can disappear without a trace. I can make it happen with a snap of my fingers" 

"... I'm sorry…" 

"Don't worry. No apology is necessary. You can make it up to us. With a little hard work and groveling, we may be gracious enough to give you that pardon, after all"

"Thank you, sir" 

Afterwards stepping back to his desk, Galeforce shooed the man out from his tent giving him the privacy he wanted all before the other's sudden arrival had sidetracked everything. When he was alone with his muddled thoughts among the incriminating paperwork needing to be looked through now, the General shook the minuscule bits of pity that were rarely shown for the thief. It will take hell freezing over for him to ever completely trust Henry but he's willing to at least try for everyone's sake, Charles' in particular.

"wyll's too nice i'd like him more if he were a little meaner and angrier" you guys couldn't handle vivienne de fer having a complicated relationship with the oppressive system she was raised in. you couldn't handle liam costa making a minor but well-intentioned mistake. you couldn't handle preston garvey having a recurring fetch quest.

you couldn't even handle early access wyll who was angrier and grappled with moral quandaries more. and you can't handle wyll as he is now when he playfully teases astarion.

modern media literacy is so cooked like what do you mean you gave saltburn a .5 star rating because it wasn’t the class consciousness film you wanted that’s not what the fucking movie is about… ‘they made it hard to keep rooting for him and identifying with him’ idk maybe don’t project onto every character in media you come across & then get scared when they act in a way you wouldn’t

#like not everything is superhero vs villian #not everything is defined as a good vs evil #morally grey characters exist and you guys just keep proving you cant handle them #like for the love of GOD!!!!!!! #watch the movie as it is and stop fucking trying to make everything something you want it to be #i could go on and on but #saltburn #rambles #random #movies

[doomed-era]

not "they did nothing wrong" or "they are a horrible bastard" but a secret third thing: they did things wrong and I like that about them but everyone over-exaggerates their negative impact on the story

#this is about rhoam botw #but a lot of characters i like fit this #like technically ganondorf is this for me...and rose quartz and homura and probably half a dozen other characters #gman does lean a bit further on the bastard scale but. yeesh #like yeah they obviously did stuff wrong but the fandom will just give them additional crimes For Funsies. um shut upp #cant like a morally grey or evil character these days #glider rambles

DPXDC Watch Out, He Bites

Danny did his best to be the best big brother possible, he helped his little brother learn and train to be the best, even if he knew what it meant. He protected Damian through thick and thin, and as he stared down at the corpse of his grandfather's enforcer in the sand he knew he'd just signed his own death warrant.

Danny had seen it coming for a while, even as the oldest son he'd never been what grandfather had expected of him, too soft and moral. He suspected that was why mother had Damian in the first place, to replace him as heir- and he never held it against his little brother. But stepping in the way of Grandfather's punishment for Damian would not go unnoticed, this would be the last way he would protect his little brother for a very long time.

Daniel turned to Damian, tears coming to his eyes as he wipes the blood and viscera off his hands and out from under his nails. "I can't stay." He saw his little brother's hands ball up as he started to shake. "I'm sorry, if you ever need a place to hide, then come find me."

-

Years later, Damian struggles to find purpose after the death of his father, and rather than be Robin to Dick's Batman he goes on a cross country road trip to find his big brother who would do anything to protect him.

But when Bruce comes back from being stuck in the time stream, Damian introduces him to his eldest son. They get along fine at first, but then some goon tries to kidnap Damian Wayne for the ransom money, and Danny gets there first.

Kaz Brekker is such an anomaly. Is he a well-written, well-rounded character? Yes. Did he learn his lesson in the end? No. Did he become either better or worse? No. Did he grow as a person? You could say that. Do we have even a remote understanding what he will do next? Absolutely not.

“But House MD is unrealistic because of all the medical malpractice!!”

WRONG

House MD is unrealistic because he gives the proper diagnosis more often than not
