Character Growth and Change: Crafting Dynamic Protagonists

Characters aren’t static entities frozen in time; they are living, breathing entities that evolve, learn, and change. As I embark on the journey of exploring character growth and change, my thoughts meander through the profound responsibility a writer bears in crafting protagonists that resonate not just at the beginning, but throughout the entire narrative. The Seed of…

I just want to make it clear that I will be in the trenches for Amy Rose and I am begging Paramount to give her an explosive personality.

She is not the mother of the group who scolds the boys, if anything she's the one who makes the plans with Tails to make sure they don't get caught. She has spars with Knuckles. She is the little gremilin who is just as sarcastic as Sonic and causes trouble on purpose just like him. I want Amy to have agency in the narrative and for her to have a story beyond any male character, something that belongs solely to her while she's feminine and lovable and has a crush on Sonic because why not, we have evolved enough to know that a female character can be strong and feminine.

And most importantly... I want Amy to be crazy. Totally insane. I want her to be traumatized and flawed and kind and complex and temperamental and multifaceted just like the boys are. I want to see a wild and deep teenage girl on screen and I won't tolerate any hate if she is because fandons in general don't know how to deal with them.

I wanna a real girl on the movies and I refuse to settle for anything less.

The funny part is that I will always find someone in the fandom that denies the sibling dynamic because B doesn't think of the caretaker as a parent. Buddy, B doesn't need to.

sukugo is a crack ship TO YOU. to me it's a perfectly legitimate ship, held back within the canon universe principally due to adherence to classic genre structures and not by lack of character compatibility

So while everyone is trying to get any discourse that isn't Apple related going, would this be a good time to mention I think Faybelle/Apple and Briar/Raven have more parallels than Apple/Briar and Faybelle/Raven? Or talk about the realtionship between Raven and Briar at all? Anybody here?

I keep forgetting to post this kinda kickass lego pic I did as a comm for a relative last year. pretty different from my usual schtick but I'm still super proud of it!

Absolutely in love with the idea of movie shadow , and movie sonic mirroring each other in almost every way, instead of contrasting the other. Shadow being the most extreme version of Sonic, someone who once had the same dreams and beliefs, but lost everything, and lost the ability to keep his hopes and dreams alive. Sonic being the most light version of shadow, someone who kept his dreams and hopes alive , despite the loses, he still has everything. I hope in Sonic 3, Sonic and shadow have to fight the crushing weight knowing the they could’ve been each other.

Throwing this out there because it is only a half-coherent thought but one that I fully can not shake.

A Darklina AU for Steter would be spectacular. Mostly because the parallels between Aleksander and Peter hit me so damn hard all the time, I am truly rotating these two in my head so much together.

Peter as the ruthless general whose people have been hunted and killed simply for existing and being different from "normal" humans?

The Argents as the royal bloodline of Ravka, the oppressors, the killers, the enslavers.

Peter, who lost everything to them, including his kindness and gentleness. Who is willing to become the monster they want him to be.

Centuries on his own, plotting his revenge.

And then he finally finds the Sun Summoner. The Spark. And they're just... nothing like what Peter had anticipated. Fierce, passionate, cheeky. Perfect.

And for the first time, there is something he wants as much as his revenge. He wants this power and he wants that power at his side.

Someone said "if you can't do gay shit with your friends, are they really your friends?"

And I couldn't agree more

First fanart for Kingdom Hearts (*^▽^*) I've been into this for well over a year and finally I have something to post :D I wanted to see a roleswap of KH1 where the roles change like Sora -> Riku -> Kairi -> Sora, so I decided to draw that cool scene from the KH1/2 opening

Do you know what it is you truly seek?

back to what happens after this, i have a order these things actually happen to my protag

pt 1/2

i think my favourite thing about aom is that you can tell everyone (except maybe alice) fucking hates each other but they're also trying to be so calm and polite about it. the breakfast scene where orpheus infodumps about mary is the best example of it. his pointed comments so clearly digging into sore spots for both melly and frederick, melly's seething tone of voice when orpheus addresses her about loyalty before immediately throwing the heat onto frederick, frederick just setting down his drink, dismissing the whole thing, and then immediately fucking off but not without one last pointed glance at orpheus, it's so good. like i am just waiting for these people to rip each other apart. alice is on her own quest and getting dragged into these people's beef by virtue of just existing near them and being way too nosy for her own good, it's the fucking best
