42 character development questions!

PHYSICAL PRESENCE AND GESTURE. 1. How do they move and carry themselves? Pace, rhythm, gestures, energy? 2. How much physical space do they use, active and at rest? 3.

How does it influence how they use their body, if it does? 5. How do they dress? What styles, colors, accessories, and other possessions do they favor? Why? 6. What are they like in motion–in different environments, and in different activities? What causes the differences between these? 7. How do they physically engage with other people, inanimate objects, and their environment? What causes the differences between these? 8. Where and when do they seem most and least at ease? Why?

How do they greet the world — what is their typical attitude towards life? How does it differ in different circumstances, or towards different subjects? Why do they take these attitudes, and why do they change? How do these tend to be expressed? 14. What do they care deeply about? What kind of loyalties, commitments, moral codes, life philosophies, passions, callings, or spirituality and faith do they have? How do these tend to be expressed? 15. What kind of inner life do they have — rich and imaginative? Calculating and practical? Full of doubts and fears? Does it find any sort of outlet in their lives? 16. Do they dream? What are those dreams like? 17. Are they more shaped by nature or nurture — who they are, or what has happened to them? How have these shaped who they’ve become as a person? 18. What kind of person could they become in the future? What are some developmental paths that they could take, (best, worst, most likely?) what would cause them to come to pass, and what consequences might they have? What paths would you especially like to see, and why? CONNECTIONS WITH OTHERS. 19. How do they behave within a group? What role(s) do they take? Does this differ if they know and trust the group, versus finding themselves in a group of strangers? Why? 20. What kind of individual relationships do they have with others, and how do they behave in them?

What do they strongly like and dislike, in any category? Why? 28. What are they likely to do if they have the opportunity, resources, and time to accomplish it? Why? 29. What kind of activities, interests, and hobbies do they have? What significance and impact do these have in their lives, both positive and negative? 30. What is their preferred level of activity and stimulation? How do they cope if they get either too little or too much? 31. Is there anything that counts as a “dealbreaker” for them, positively or negatively? What makes things go smoothly, and what spoils an activity or ruins their day? Why? 32. Do they have any “props” that are a significant part of their life, identity, activities, or self-presentation somehow? What are they, how are they used, and why are they so significant? How would these props’ absence impact them, how would they compensate, and why? THINKING AND LEARNING. 33. How do they learn about the world–what is their preferred learning style? Hands-on learning with trial and error? Research, reading, and note-taking? Observation or rote memorization? Inductive or deductive reasoning? Seeking patterns and organization?

Conversely, do they lack some kind of education considered essential in their world? What kind of impact has this addition or lack had on them? 38.

What sort of questions or thoughts recur in their lives, either specifically or as a theme? Why are these never answered, or answered permanently to their satisfaction? 40. What do they wonder about?

         IT’S  NOT  AN  EASY  TASK  TO  FIND  A  WAY  TO  PUT  THIS  GENTLY,  but  she’ll  try  her  best  for  wanderer’s  sake.  ❛  pet  is  younger  than  i  was,  maybe  she  wasn’t  particularly  healthy  before  you.  it’s  hard  to  say,  wanda.  we’re  all  different,  you  know  that.  i  won’t  tell  them  you’re  sick  for  now  because  it’s  only  a  cold,  but  if  you  get  any  worse  —  all  bets  are  off.  but,  uh,  how  are  you  planning  on  hiding  it?  i  heard  you  coughing  from  a  mile  away.  ❜  

     another   cough   emerges,  and she makes a face.          “ i know,  i know. ”          she wonders if part of it has anything to do with the  conditions  of the caves versus the clearly posh surroundings pet was used to . . . illness was readily cured,  in any case,  so no immune system strength was really required.          “ w-well   --   ”          lying isn’t exactly wanderer’s   strong suit   ,  after all,  but she’ll find a way.          “ probably by  actually  hiding. ”          no lies if he can’t find you,  right ??

          “ how come i was   never   sick when i was in you,  but pet   keeps   betraying me ?? ”          a sigh,  and an attempt at more words.          “ don’t   --   ”          she gets overwhelmed with  coughs  ,  of course,  as soon as she starts to speak,  and she sits up,  doing what she can to try and let it die down before continuing.          “ don’t tell ian.     or doc. ”

psa : august through october.

               so !!     i probably should have brought this up earlier,  but here we are.     this upcoming thursday,  august 3, i will bee leaving the united states and will not be coming back until october 27   .     this is part of this awesome program i got accepted to at school,  one that i’m only the second sophomore to be accepted on in  history  ,  so that’s pretty lit.     this program will take me studying at oxford for 6 weeks,  looking at authorian and shakespearian literature as well as art history and general european history,  before taking the rest of the time to go around europe and look at everything we’ve studied  (  including a side trip to verona,  bc i’m a ho  )  .     understandably,  this means that  for the next three months i will be on at least semi hiatus   .     school and experiencing the world comes first,  although at night i’ll probably be around to answer ims and  maybe  attempt drafts,  if i want to.     this trip means a lot to me,  and i’m really excited to be going !!     if we’re friends,  i have made a facebook page for this trip,  and you can feel free to ask for the web address !!

MEME     /     @atomicked     /     ian

     a  squeak  escapes her,  more pet than wanderer,  but she knows the arms about her waist,  and the chest her face is now buried into.     fragile  (  too fragile  )  hands come up,  looping as best the can around his neck and holding him close,  regardless of how she must stretch on her toes to do so.     she wants to ask about the urgency in his grasp,  to question the lack of introduction before the embrace,  but now,  she figures,  might not be the best of times.     so she chooses,  instead,  to revel in the warmth of his chest pressed against hers,  the solid comfort of his arms,  the continuous beating of his heart,  the exultant joy in the fact that in this body she could enjoy such things without unfettered responses from a certain dear sister of hers.     after a moment,  she hazards a glance up at his face.     she isn’t certain about what she finds there,  one of her hands moving to stroke gently across his cheek for some kind of answer,  an answer that she longs for.     but even as she waits she can luxuriate in his envelopment of her tiny frame,  and the sheer comfort that his presence brings her.

“It’s not about being happy, that is the thing. I’m just trying to get through each day.” | from jared

MEME     /     @atomicked     /     jared

     and part of that is her fault,  she knows   –   if melanie was here,  not some  thing  encased in melanie’s   beloved   body,  things might be  different  .     so much so that it makes it difficult to   breathe   ,  sometimes.     but any apology she might make   –   for herself,  for melanie,  for her kind,  to the humans and their home that the souls had so glibly taken   –   would probably fall on deaf ears,  and she could hardly blame him.          “ w-well. ”          she struggles out a word,  doing all she can to remain outwardly contained,          “ in that,  you’re doing   remarkably   well. ”

Angsty Bojack Horseman Sentence Starters

“The most important thing is, you got to give the people what they want, even if it kills you.”

“You know, sometimes I feel like I was born with a leak, and any goodness I started with just slowly spilled out of me.”

“Life is a series of closing doors, isn’t it?”

“Am I a good person?”

“That’s the problem with life, either you know what you want and you don’t get what you want, or you get what you want and then you don’t know what you want.“ 

“There’s nothing for you behind you. All that exists is what’s ahead.“ 

“Family is a sinkhole, and you were right to get out when you had the chance.“ 

“I don’t understand how people… live. It’s amazing to me that people wake up every morning and say: ‘Yeah, another day, let’s do it.’ How do people do it? I don’t know how.” 

“You didn’t know me and then you fell in love with me. And now you know me.” 

“Closure is a made up thing by Steven Spielberg to sell movie tickets”.

“We’re just two lonely people trying to hate ourselves a little less.” 

“I don’t think I believe in ‘deep down’. I think that all you are is just the things that you do.”

“You were born broken, that’s your birthright.”

“You know what your problem is? You want to think of yourself as the good guy.”

“you’re a selfish goddamn coward who just takes whatever he wants and doesn’t give a shit about who he hurts. That’s you.”

“You know, it’s funny… when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.”

“I’m sorry, alright? I screwed up, I- I know I screwed up.”

“You can’t keep doing shitty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay! You need to be better!”

“You are all the things that are wrong with you.”

“Fuck, man. What else is there to say?”

“We’re not doomed. In the great, grand scheme of things, we’re just tiny specks that will one day be forgotten.”

“The only thing that matters is right now, this moment, this one spectacular moment we are sharing together.”

“I don’t understand how people… live. It’s amazing to me that people wake up every morning and say: ‘Yeah, another day, let’s do it.’ How do people do it? I don’t know how.”

“He’s so stupid he doesn’t realize how miserable he should be. I envy that.”

“It’s not about being happy, that is the thing. I’m just trying to get through each day.”

“I can’t keep asking myself ‘Am I happy?’ It just makes me more miserable.”

“It takes a long time to realize how truly miserable you are and even longer to see it doesn’t have to be that way.”

“When you do bad things, you have something you can point to when people eventually leave you. It’s not you, you tell yourself. It’s that bad thing you did.”

“It’s so cruel to let people love you. All you’re doing is promising you’ll one day break their hearts.”

“One day, you’re gonna look around and you’re going to realize that everybody loves you, but nobody likes you. And that is the loneliest feeling in the world.”

“There are some people you can’t save. Cause those people will thrash and struggle, and try to take you down with them.”

“ Hey, I wanted to talk to you about… you know. I feel bad about what happened.”

“I don’t forgive you.”

“No. I’m not gonna give you closure. You don’t get that. You have to live with the shitty thing you did for the rest of your life. You have to know that it’s never, ever going to be okay!”

“You have to believe me. I did everything I could.”

“I had a good life, but what I needed then was a friend! And you abandoned me. And I will never forgive you for that.”

“Now get the fuck out of my house!”

“ Look, I’m sorry about all the stuff I said about you earlier.”

“Do you… do you think it’s too late for me? I mean, am, am, am I just doomed to be the person that I am? “

“I, I, I need you to tell me that I’m a good person.”

“I just wanted to tell you that I know. I know you want to be happy, but you won’t be… and I’m sorry.”

“ What more do you want? What else could the universe possibly owe you? “

“I want to feel good about myself. The way you do. And I don’t know how. I don’t know if I can.”

“If you ever try to contact me or my family again, I will fucking kill you.”

“ You can’t just disappear. You really hurt a lot of people.”

“In this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make.”

“It’s so sad that when you see someone as they really are, it ruins them.”

“You like being there to rescue me. Because it makes you feel good about yourself.”

“ You know that I don’t do the whole love thing. Either you end up hurting someone or they hurt you. So what’s the point?”

“ Uh…. Oh, god, I’m drowning. I feel like I’m drowning.”

“Hey, we have all done shitty stuff before. Most of us aren’t as proud of it as you seem to be.”

“It doesn’t get better and it doesn’t get easier.”

“I can’t keep lying to myself thinking I’m gonna change, I’m poison.”

“I come from poison and I have poison inside me and I destroy everything I touch. That’s my legacy.”

“I have nothing to show for the life I have lived. And I have nobody in my life who’s better off for having known me.”

“You’re gonna wanna kill yourself, and there’s going to be no one left to stop you.”
