Aristotle calls this ‘Hamartia’ - a tragic flaw or error. It can be anything happening to good or bad characters, even otherwise good character traits and with good intentions that ultimately lead to the character’s demise. They are often traits that don’t neccessarily lead to someone’s downfall, but can if they’re done to an extreme. So think of these otherwise normal ‘flaws’ as extremes.
ignorance - not seeking helpful knowledge
selfishness - not thinking about others
curiosity - getting involved in things they shouldn’t get involved in
impetuousness - being too passionate/ not thinking before acting
pride - not giving in/ not taking help from others
hubris - exaggerated opinion of oneself/ thinking nothing can get to them
lack of self-control - can’t help/stop themself
indecisiveness* - not being able to make decisions
confirmation bias - only taking in information that supports one’s own belief
arrogance - thinking they are superior
Have fun!

*Interesting example: Chidi from The Good Place. A morally great character who is so extreme in always trying to make the right choice and therefore not being able to make a decision until it is proven to be right, it basically lands him in hell.
Person A is not a kiss and tell kind of person, so their friends start to think that they have been alone for way too long now and set them up with Person B. What the friends don’t know is that they both already know each other – intimately.
It was supposed to be a one night stand. Then it became a second night. A third - and suddenly they realized that they had never left.
Person A normally does not go out to clubs. They normally don't accept drinks from strangers or dance with them. And they normally do not go home with them.
Remembering every last inch on Person B's body is not a weird thing, just because they only hooked up that one time. They had just been very thorough. And now the memories are haunting them. In the best way.
Person A's last one night stand ended with a misunderstanding and a lot of awkwardness. To cheer them up again, their friends set them up with a blind date. They meant well, it’s not their fault that it’s the person they had previously slept with.
Person A's friends are obsessed with setting them up with blind dates, and A knows they mean well, but they are just not interested in dating, so they just ask their last blind date and one night stand, Person B, to fake date them, so A's friends stop setting them up.
Can you still call it a one night stand if they actually already had one years ago?
Person A had never had a one night stand before, so they don't know what the correct etiquette is. They are currently bringing breakfast to Person B, who is still in bed, because that's the polite thing to do, right?
What is the worst thing that can happen when you have someone in your bed that you just had an amazing night with? Your parents deciding to pay you a visit, who are just so excited to meet your new partner.
Person A and Person B are in a committed relationship and very happy. So happy that they decide adding a third person for just one night won't change anything.

Danny Phantom AU Clockwork's Apprentice (Animatic) - Audio ft Link Click
Watch the video first! Spoilers in the explanation!

Spoilers!
This is a rough idea of DP retold based on the Link Click anime series concept.
The Danny here is from another future alternate timeline in which he did not become Vlad's adopted son after the disaster of the death of his family and friends at Nasty Burger. In this timeline, he was instead taken in to become Clockwork's disciple to oversee the time stream and grew up under Clockwork's care.
One day, he found another alternate timeline in which Dan existed, causing the destruction of the world and killing everyone. This knowledge re-ignited his fear of seeing the death of his loved ones, and he wanted to change it. Clockwork had warned him many times never to change the time stream, else there would be consequences. Danny ignored his advice and kept returning to the alternate timeline to change the past. But every time Danny went back to save everyone, he kept seeing everyone die over and over again in different circumstances until he realized that he existed outside of the time stream. Danny's timeline had ceased to exist long ago (Similar to Dan's timeline in The Ultimate Enemy episode). No matter how much he tried fixing the past, his family and friends would never be revived in his present time. He could have become Dan if he had chosen Vlad instead of Clockwork as the father.
As for the ending, Clockwork saw the past timeline of Vlad's reported death in the news. Did Vlad died? Was his death tied to this Danny's original timeline? Who or what caused his death? Only Clockwork knew.
Happy 20th Anniversary Danny Phantom!
Most animatics start out with good art but ends with sketchy art. So, I used this style in reverse. The sketchy start is to show how time flows until the final scene in the present in color.
This is my first attempt in creating an animatic. I have no knowledge in animation, so everything I did in this is entirely new to me. A total 171 frames, taken me 2 months to create a 3 minute video. I felt relieved when I actually get this completed!
And I hope you all enjoy watching this fun creation!
One Vlad a day keeps the doctor away #9. But he will probably need a doctor after Maddie poured boiling hot tea on his privates, doesn't he?
Today's warmup sketch is a screenshot redraw. I want to see how much can I improve by just quickly sketching him everyday, as a warmup, for 365 days. Will I become a better artist? Or I will just have the biggest, most useless collection of Vlads ever?
