“No one plays Mass Effect and says ‘whoa, this violence. It’s really inflaming my inner serial killer.’ No, they play Mass Effect and then they cry.”

it’s not about being a warden, it’s about being family.

So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.

My Personal Character Files: The 6 Box Method

This is for my science fiction WIP, so some things may need to be added/modified depending on your genre. I will also include a screenshot of an example at the bottom so y’all can see how I set it up in my Doc.

1. The Quick Ref

I use this as the first page of my “Character FIles” Doc.

I put all my important characters in a list, then add their height, age, and the page their complete file can be found on. This is helpful when I need to know if a character would have to crane their neck upward to look another character in the eyes. Comes up more than I’d have guessed.

2. The Individual Profile: 6 Box Method

I add and subtract stuff based on how important the character is. Without further ado…

Box One: Reference Photo

This is where I add in any actor, model, drawing, etc that I base the look on. When I don’t need one, sometimes I’ll put in a picture that represents the character’s style.

Box Two: The Introduction

I agree. That line really threw me off when I first read it.

Another unpopular opinion lmao

Tbh I hope the dub doesn’t make Kyo say disillusioned

Knowing Kyo up to that point it never sounded like something he’d say naturally and just overall doesn’t sound like a natural thing to say. Reminds me of how pretentious the teenagers in the fault in our stars spoke. No 17 year old talks like that lol

oh my god, please take 3 seconds out of your day to watch this.
