Everyone Has Flaws

                Flaws in characters are one of the most important parts of them. Flaws make a character interesting, give them depth, and make their job of propelling and driving the story a whole lot easier. My screenwriting prof’s biggest argument for thinking out your character’s flaw was, “why don’t they already have what they want?” It is a character’s flaw that keeps them from their goal, which creates the story of how they overcome it.

                In this way, we don’t want to think about flaws as something you kind of tack on afterwards. A flaw should be created within the base of your character, driving and determining every aspect of their internal journey.

                I’ve learned two ways to create flaws in character journey. They’re pretty similar, so I’ll try to explain simply.

Method 1: The flaw is in how they’re trying to reach their goal

                Remember that characters have both a goal (internal, what they desire), and an objective (external, what they believe will give them what they desire). Boy wants to feel secure (goal), boy believes girl will validate him (objective), boy pursues girl. In this method, his flaw is in his thinking of how to reach his goal. Essentially, his objective is wrong, and he needs to realize it by the end of his arc.

                So maybe the point of the story is that he should be finding internal security, or learn not to rely on others for his self worth. That would be his arc throughout the story.

Method 2: The flaw keeps them from their goal

                This one is a touch simpler. Character A wants to belong somewhere but pushes away people when they get close. Flaw keeps character from their goal—it’s the reason they don’t have it already, and thus the thing they need to grow from to reach their goal in the end.

                The reason they are the way they are tends to come from an event in their childhood or past. If Character A pushes people away, maybe it’s because the people who were meant to love them let them down, or they’re not used to people being genuine towards them, or they were bullied, etc. etc.

           Of course, you could always try a mixture of both methods. The important part is that your character has something holding them back from what they want, because otherwise, why wouldn’t they already have it?

I've started reading Marvel comics and I've realized I've obtained the curse of only loving obscure characters that will either die or fade away and never be mentioned again 😔

Any marvel fans on tumblr remember this guy?

A reminder from my Mum today:

Everyone has hard days

[bayleebubble]

The hardest part of learning to love yourself is learning to love your flaws also and that’s it’s okay to want to work on them also. Both of these things can be true. Wrapping my mind around that has been hard.

If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim. 🖤

In the vast landscape of my unapologetic creativity, if you find even a flicker of resemblance, rest assured it's a coincidence, darling. Don't inflate your self-importance; this isn't about you.

I never thought I’d be in the position where I’m not seen.

I don’t even get a glance.

Not even a mere comment.

I know I’m not the baddest.

I know I have many many flaws.

But so do you.

& I accept those flaws.

I love the flaws.

But my flaws are making me feel invisible.

Because you make me feel invisible.

Because I can’t even get a look.

I think it's absolutely adorable how Movie Mike and Vanny's relationship is like this

But Mike's still comfortable sleeping on her shoulder and in the palm of her hand.

I think that's sweet.

They’ve gotten to know each other better, so he feels safe to sleep around her
