Help please; defining your character's personality
Was planning a new story and came upon a new feat. How do you define a character's personality? When I define them, I feel like I'm not necessarily defining their personality, but rather just who they are. Like what they do, how they react to certain things, and how they think. But I feel like that's kind of straying from the idea of a 'personality'.
So, anyone, please, can you tell me how the hell to truly define your character's personality and not stray?
And then like what are the other different things you need to know about your character to truly make them come to life? I'm sure there's more and that personality is just one of them.
Please, I need your help.

#funny talking tag#My favorite thing to do is HC characters as trans but also that they've never heard that term before and act accordingly.#My other favorite thing to do is make characters repressed.#My other other favorite thing to do is make a character go ''I feel like a(n) object/animal/thing pretending to be a man/woman''#''but I don't really care about that right now I have a job''#Anyway while this post can be about whichever characters you feel fit I made this with a certain character in mind.#(Dimentio of SPM fame) (He has something really specific going on that makes me cackle) (You can ask me about it)#(Also Morceau Oleander is a trans woman to me because she would be happier)#(and she deserves to live a life not defined by other's expectations of her)#Someone put a forbidden and ancient curse on this post so no more.

don't think I'm not still obsessing over 7-12
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 12 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 12 spoilers#sorry it's even scribblier than usual :') hopefully my chickenscratch is legible#anyway come here and join me in the corner where we go to be embarrassing about anime characters#just. between riddle and trey's dreams i've been thinking a lot about how#trey knew this kid for like two months when he was nine and then never really got over him or how their friendship ended#which. honestly. understandable given the circumstances#and then when they finally met again riddle acted like they'd never met before and neither he nor trey ever intended trey to be his vice#but every time riddle talks about his childhood post-incident it's basically#'oh yeah i constantly thought about trey and che'nya and fantasized about still being friends with them! this is fine and normal'#(there's a bit in one of his birthday cards where he talks about crossword puzzles and shit man that one got me)#idk. i can't put this into words very well#just...the implications that riddle was actively resisting trey's friendship#(presumably because it ended SUPER badly last time and he's learned that if he shows he wants something it gets taken away from him)#and trey had to work REALLY hard to just to get to the point they were at by the time canon starts#that was progress somehow#y'all can call him boring all you want but trey's defining feature really is that he keeps being like#'everything's fine :) this isn't a big deal :) i don't care that much'#(trey on the inside: THIS IS THE BIGGEST DEAL THAT I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT AND I WILL NEVER LET IT GO)#anyway i continue to be absolutely murdered by the timing of riddlepunzel directly after this#riddle's line about not wanting to keep standing in front of a door that's never going to open...#hey. hey silly gacha game about anime disney boys.#you are not actually allowed to do this to me#oh shit oh damn i'm out of tags and i haven't even talked about cater yet. NO BUT I HAVE LOTS OF FEELINGS THERE TOO --#(i am crushed under a falling safe looney tunes style)

Tim seems like the type to have a Snapchat story dedicated to his crashouts
He frequently posts videos of himself yelling about the idiots he encounters in his daily life, and people live for it.
Tim, in his car: I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF BAD DRIVERS! IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE LIKE A PRE-SCHOOLER, THEN PULL UP IN THE LITTLE TYKES COZY COUPE, MOTHERFUCKER. I AM TWO SECONDS AWAY FROM REAR-ENDING YOU! AT LEAST THEN YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO THE FUCKING SPEED LIMIT
Tim, barely visible and whisper-shouting in a dark closet: If I have to deal with Lex Motherfucking Luthor one more time I might just have to commit a felony about it. Because what do you mean you "aren't familiar" with our DEI policy outline???? We've been doing business for years????? We've had this EXACT CONVERSATION, like, TEN TIMES--
Tim, not even bothering to find an empty room: I should have stayed an only child.
Dick’s voice offscreen: Huh?
Tim, deadpan: The only good outcome of having siblings is that if they threaten to kill me, I might actually get a fucking break —— assuming they can grow a spine long enough to actually make good on their threats, that is.
Dick, in the background: C’mon, Tim you guys just quit fighting— Damian, stop- DAMIAN
Damian, now in frame, making a spirited attempt to free himself from the upside-down hold he has been wrangled into by attacking Dick’s ankles: I only wish to give him what he wants, Richard!
Dick: No, Dami, what did we say about- STOP BITING ME
Tim, staring deadpan at the camera while the others fight behind him: I have never envied Jason Todd more in my life
#he’d have two stories actually#one public and one private#the public one is well-beloved and gets reposted to other platforms relentlessly#but the private one is where it’s at#Red Robin: chat quick question— how would you define ‘waiting’?#RR: cause I can’t decide if I’m tripping and it means ‘go right now’ or if Jason should go back to the grave until he learns some patience#Jason swiping up: FUCKS SAKE TIM IF YOU PUT ME ON BLAST AGAIN ILL TAKE YOUR ASS WITH ME#batfam#batfamily#tim drake#dick grayson#damian wayne#jason todd#incorrect quotes#character headcanons

I am so serious - if you have experienced a 2010 queerbait, and have a hint of game knowledge, go see the fucking Minecraft movie. Its not subtle. There's a bit every 5 minutes.
I sat in that theater- jaw SLACK watching what may be the most perfect casual not confirmed bit of old man yaoi cinema in casual movie viewing of the year. It will not be topped. This movie doesn't exist without them.
Was the movie good? No. But I had the best fucking time.
#minecraft movie#jason mamoa#jack black#i get to watch 911 tonight and somehow that was definately gayer#like#imagine a cringe fail 80s enthusiast meeting a social outcadt#i love them.#i need to save garbage man from this movie#there are other characters but even this movie forgets that#minecraft

#bg3#baldur's gate 3#shadowlach#galemance#tavstarion#halsin#durge#drizzt do'urden#guenhwyvar#idk what the 80s dnd bros would think of me looking at drizzt and saying i want to squish his cheeks and put him to bed#you can't give me a character whose defining trait is Having Empathy and expect me not to go soft for him#after i started the books i went back and watched the bg3 oneshot again where he has a lil cameo#the fact that gale almost ATE guen sent me#also i need to draw more of halsin and ashe bc their dynamic would be unhinged#it's just a very moist relationship

Caitlyn and vi both manage to do masculinity and femininity in such a uniquely lesbian way that im still in shock they were in such a huge piece of media. Like its SO rare to see masculine women that not only arent caricatures but are also still intensely feminine at the same time and vise versa. Having a very masc woman be incredibly caring and loving??? Having a very feminine woman still be dominant without ever compromising her own femininity??? What did we do to deserve this
#caitvi#arcane#caitlyn kiramman#vi arcane#i love them so much.#for the record i am not saying these things contradict each other nor define gender#im just saying to see it in mainstream media is super rare#its a very nuanced take on lesbian gender expression that i almost never see#not even within lgbt spaces#and yes it matters that theyre lesbians#and it is a vital aspect of their character without being WHAT defines them. ugh

I kidnapped ur long-nosed cat for a sec
.
#last year you said that “dude looks like he's been betrayed in all past lives and is to be betrayed in all lives to come”#and it has become one of the defining descriptions of Machete in my head#I think about it frequently#you captured him so delicately here#almost like an old oil painting#or weirdly enough the color palette also reminds me of chalk on a blackboard#and I appreciate the big angular pink-tinted goblin ears#and the smooth gradient of his snout#I like the nuance of his expression he seems calm but kind of melancholic#thank you! your rendition of him looks so classy and refined ;-;#gift art#awkwardosthe3rd#Machete#own characters#I can't paint digitally at all so whenever I see someone making it seem so natural and correct and right I'm like#floored#people are making such nice art of my goobers I have no choice but to curl on the floor like a dead bug

Captain Marvel: HURRY DO SOMETHING
Cyborg, already has twelve laptops going through codes furiously: IM TRYING
Plastic man, bursting through the room: EMERGENCY, SHE HAS BEEN HIT
Cyborg and Captain Marvel: WE KNOW
Plastic man, gripping Batman: DO SOMETHING
Captain Marvel, slapping Plasticman: GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF SOLDIER
Green Arrow: WHATS GOING ON?
Captain Marvel: AO3 IS DOWN
JL: … what?
Green Lantern (Hal & Jessica): NOOOOOOOOOOO
Wonder Woman : … the fan fiction website?
Superman: that’s it?
Cyborg, dramatic gasp: how DARE-
Captain Marvel, dramatically holding him back: No my friend, they simply don’t understand
Green lantern (Hal): How am I supposed to get through monitor duty without my dose of SI field trip fics?
Green lantern (Jessica): How am I supposed to fly through space without my Percabeth podfics???
Green lantern (Hal): Aren’t John and Kyle currently in deep space right now?
A moment of silence for thé two lanterns in space
Flash: is this what’s got you in a fuss? Damn I thought someone died
Cyborg: SIX HOURS
Four Heroes proceed to cry in unison
Bonus:
After a gruelling 6 hour meeting, the heroes found themselves with their beloved writings again
Cyborg: SHES BACK BABY
Green lantern (Jessica): NO ONE TALK TO ME FOR SIX WEEKS I NEED TO CATCH UP ON MY FIC TIME
Captain Marvel: I CAN FINALLY POST MY NEXT CHAPTER
Green lantern (Hal): You’re an author? Let me see your works
The three look at Caps account: …
Green lantern (Hal): THATS YOU???
Cyborg: howwwwwww
Green lantern (Jessica): Oh shit, I’m a big fan of your work
Bonus 2:
Batman, in the BatCave: it seems this ao3 site has a great deal of influence. I might need to investigate this.
Batman: Captain Marvels work may also give me clues as to who he is
Ten hours later
Batman, knee deep in Gray ghost, Batfam and Danny Phantom fics: … I may have made a mistake
Bonus 3:
Lex Luthor: hey Mercy. Mercy. Hey.
Mercy: WHAT
Lex: wouldn’t it be funny if after ao3 starts working again, I mess with it some more. Making it go down so soon after the 6 hours are up
Mercy: that’s sounds cruel
Mercy: I love it
Bonus 4:
Lex Luthor talking to some villains
Lex: it seems that I was right, planting a bug within the reading platform brought forth a level of villainy i hadn’t truly imagined
Sivanna “got blamed and beat up for it”: THAT WAS YOU!
Cheetah “her furry and wlw safe space” : WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
Killer Croc “same reasons above”: Oh I’m going to beat your ass
Harley Quinn, pulling out her bat and calling all the Gotham Rogues (who have been up in arms about it): IM WAY ON YA! YOURE DEAD
Lex Luthor, “just wanted to stop seeing himself get shipped with Superman”: I sense that I may have made a mistake
#in honour of the fallen (ao3)#and mix it with my boy#Billy Batson#because I enjoy giving him more reasons to crash out#what’s one more trauma on the list#there’s so many characters here that I’m not going to tag them all#mostly because I’m lazy#I just know the Lanterns are ao3 users#what tags you read define which ring you get#I also think most villains love ao3#especially the Gotham rogues#something about them gives me that vibe#yes this incident did get most of the JL really into ao3#I also know the younger heroes like the titans and YJ have been up in arms about it

MDZS x Firefly AU: A ragtag crew.
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#mdzs au#firefly#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#lan wangji#jiang yanli#Wen Ning#Wen Qing#nie huaisang#xue yang#A-qing#That's right! this month's flavour of MDZS AU is Space Western!#I recently rewatched the show and forgot that the lore essentially made everyone bilingual in Mandarin and English.#It's fun to hear characters talk in mandarin and now understand a little bit of what they're saying!#A Firefly AU fits them so well and I need to talk about it.#I have strong thoughts about my placement for all of these characters. Let's start with the most likely to be contraversial:#I think a less thought-out AU would pitch Wei Wuxian as the Captain or a Companion.#But there are a several reasons why that would simply not be the case:#Wei Wuxian is smart! He's good at what he finds a passion and interest in! Piloting is a complex skill that grants him a freedom to explore#He wants to kick back and chill! He would hate the responsibility of being the captain! That's JC's job!#In my heart he's also second in command - which does make WWX essentially Zoe and Wash smashed together.#Companions are also persons of high rank in this universe. Something WWX is very...not defined as.#Someone beautiful of higher social rank...someone who yearns for someone they want to explode in their mind...It was no contest.#I think there are a lot if really interesting things to explore with LWJ as a companion. Functionally they are similar to Courtesans -#But it isn't always about the sex - A Lan Wangji who sees himself only through the wants and needs of others -#is a really interesting angle I have been pondering a lot about.#Final thought to close up this long ramble: Yes. It is so essential that every space crew have a 'Weird Teen (girl optional) on board'.#Will I post more of this? Maybe! If people want to see more!

epsilons
#astro boy#tetsuwan atom#astro boy 2003#pluto anime#pluto manga#epsilon#art tag#I'm going to say something controversial. normally I would be all for gender-flipping characters in a mostly male cast-#-but I think making epsilon a woman in the 2003 anime was a major coward move.#like oh ok the character you choose to make female is the slightly cowardly pacifist defined by his nurturing heart and love of children#you dont say. how interesting#(not that 2003 epsilon even has those qualities besides the pacifism but its not like they replaced it with anything else compelling either#(as far as I know. I'm not done watching it but I only have like 8 eps left so I doubt they'll establish anything in that time)#(ok ok shut up leo)#thats not why I drew all that though I got the idea cuz they gave epsilon he pronouns again by accident in omega factor lmao#rock on gnc king

stan spending their childhood trying to make ford's polydactyly something positive in ford's life and genuinely believing its super cool....
#(that stan quote being from the extra dvd commentary)#but also stan loving comics and being like 'yeah ford's character is a superhero!' and then basically making himself charlie brown#stan's abaconings story basically being him blaming ford's smarts as the reason why they became estranged...#the contrast of bill telling ford 'nah it's your brains that makes you special and your hands makes you a freak!!!'#gravity falls#ford pines#stanford pines#stan pines#stanley pines#but also mabel causing high fives to be invented earlier#cos irl it was invented in 70s apparently#always uwu at paradoxes bringing this family together+closer#it's basically an intrinsic part of them!!!#oddities brought together by contradictions!!!#soos being brought to stan by the kids but the kids only doing so cos soos is part of their family!!!#(part of why same coin is so fun to me is cos it adds another layer of paradox to them)#but stan being insecure about his hands being smaller was not something i was expecting in 2024#(i thought he'd be more jealous that ford seems to have more dexterity especially considering stan's the one who pickpockets lol)#stan being defined by his love for his family arghhhhhhhhh
