Soooo, recently I've gotten interested in Wolverine, because of course my hyperfixation would land on him, and so I've been devouring all sorts of media. As a result, I'm writing a few fics about him, one of which is already published on AO3. I'll leave a link to that below, but just know that, if I do come back to Tumblr more often, expect a lot of Logan/Wolverine stuff to pop up.

Here you go:

glad that im not popular enough to have an evil shadow version of my blog that exists just to make contradictions on my posts

quite fun to imagine fairy circles less as "trickster gods kidnapping humans from the human realm" and more as "fae scientists capture-tag-and-releasing humans back into the wild, hoping to one day understand the behavior of this bizarre feral gremlin species that keeps getting lost and wandering into the Fae's backyard"

writing characters with trust issues

trust issues need a legitimate source

trust issues can come from trauma and other experiences that might make them hesitant with trusting in the future. these experiences don’t have to be extremely severe, as all kinds of things can affect a person, but at least have the source and the trust issues correlate a bit so that the trust issues are believable and realistic.

emotions are valid

make your character struggle with it. allow them moments to feel frustrated with themselves, as well as moments where the character is forced to confront the trust issues. make the reader feel these emotions. characters with trust issues won’t annoy readers if they can feel those same emotions.

variation

people do not always react to their trust issues the same way every time it comes up. having your character constantly repeating the same words or actions in a situation where they are forced to confront their trust issues will become redundant and annoying to the reader.

understand how it affects the character

understand how their experiences shaped their trust issues. why do they react that way? the character’s past will help you know what their reactions will be to certain situations. get to the root of their trust issues in other to write them well.

trust issues are a defense mechanism

do some research on the psychology behind trust issues. you don’t have to explain it in the story, but the tone of your writing will change once you have a better understanding on how trust issues really work. readers can tell whether or not you know what you're talking about!

trust issues should not be the character’s entire personality

as with any disorder/character trait/etc, trust issues do not define a character! it is a part of them, maybe even an important part of them, but they are their own person before anything else. develop them to be as realistic as you can.
