Thought more about eichi's war timeloop. Natsume, Rei and Wataru know about the loop, Kanata and Shu dont. Keito, the rest of akatsuki, and ex fine dont know either
GODS THATD BE SO MUCH ....... i dont know how wataru would react because im still analyzing him to an extent but i can see rei waiting and waiting and waiting to see how eichi changes and reacts to each reset and just
" how much longer are we going to let this happen . when are we going to stop it "
because i feel like eichi is the type to , once it sets in that hes in a loop , try to fix things himself . weve seen that he has regrets about the war and i think hed be the kind of person to say everything was his fault , even if people started acting on their own , because it was his hand that pushed them . meanwhile rei , while still being a bit of a lone wolf , would be a bit more willing to rely on others once he realizes that he cant do everything alone even if he wants to
i just really want a big dramatic fight about how to fix this loop to occur between these two . i think its good for the bitter divorcée energy they have

I could start a conversation on how a good deal of personality disorders seem to arise from a child being unable to grow out of their childish worldview due to an unsafe environment, but I'm not sure if Tumblr is ready for that

reblogs off bc i dont want to start Conversations based on other peoples posts but re the whole "who is in control you or the character" question, i find it SO interesting because it's by letting myself discovery write that I (for me personally disclaimer) found the perfect balance between intuition and intention. which to preface "intution" is the easiest way to describe how the inside of my writers brain feels bc often i just get vivid characters/stories/images/scenes with little control at first and i have to figure out what they mean. anyway discovery writing is what works for my brain to make intentional decisions because i need to be amidst a draft to get the Story Cogs working, whenever i try to outline before a draft it's always been just throwing things at a wall bc it feels too far away, but because im also using the discovery element to do that it's like. that's where i think the whole i feel like my characters reveal themselves to me comes from. because im always discovering small bits about them even if i've written them for years just but because discovery writing is also what prompts me to be intentional about writing as i write something it's like both are happening at the same time. so the whole "who's in control" it's like...i don't think control is the right word for me at all because its not Me or the Character it's me trying to understand the character to understand + then write my intentions. like neither me or the character are in the drivers seat because there's no car we are in the middle of the story forest and at first i won't know what it means at all except that it is a Story. and my character will start going one way and sometimes i'll follow and pay attention to where they're taking me to figure out if this is the right path/where to go next. and sometimes i'll figure out how to read the compass first and realise i need to drag their ass in another direction

the way people talk about ageing is so weird…..someone going gray is not a tragedy it is just a thing that happens. you will probably go gray too depending on how long you live. visible signs of ageing are fine and also hot

Actually really pissed that discourse around stereotyping and bad writing in media turned into "does this character have X,Y,Z traits? Is this character an admirable human being? Are they the good guy?" instead of promoting actual good writing and what that entails.
It's not about the presence of individual traits! It's about if the minority character is treated as a complex human being with believable motivations and who is looked at with an empathetic eye by the story!
If you personally don't like certain traits to be present in a character that has your identity, you have a right to do that, but it's not criticism, it's your opinion. You know what your dislike doesn't do? Make that character a stereotype! Because a stereotype isn't a character with traits commonly assigned to them, it's a character who isn't written as a fully fleshed human being save for those traits. The character isn't treated with dignity by the author because the author does not give them a character.
If they are fully fleshed out and complex with understandable motivations then? They aren't a stereotype. Because people like that exist in real life, and you viewing them as a stereotype says more about you than it does about them.
