#character flaw

[pratchettquotes]

Susan was sensible. It was, she knew, a major character flaw. It did not make you popular, or cheerful, and--this seemed to her to be the most unfair bit--it didn't even make you right.

Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

But he is not what I call loyal. He cannot keep himself from running after strange gods.

old men will have me acting unwise

[brother-fishbait]

I got overwhelmed and didn't go to something I probably should have, or at least I wanted to be there for.

I don't think it was my anxiety or depression. Just a character flaw.

I'm not sure which is easier to overcome.

I found this while checking out @nophicas-ward and I had to do it for Ishi, and I have to say this is so accurate it is eerie.

I guess I understand why Mike's Bly Manor didn't sit right with so many fans of Turn of the Screw. Peter Quint in Bly Manor was the representation of greed, of obsessive love, of selfish love and the root cause of everything Miles had to go through. Peter Quint in the books was a question. If he truly were the evil, Mrs Grose saw him as, or if he simply refused to bow down according to the norms of social class. If his sexuality and affair with Miss Jessel threatened the carefully constructed codes of conduct. If truly it was his ghost preying upon Miles or if it was simply an ill deduction by the narrator herself.

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.

“Bruce is emotionally incompetent and can’t step outside his own morality” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Dick is extremely stubborn and thinks he’s right all the time” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Jason has hypocritical tendencies” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“ Tim is entitled and doesn’t think about people when seeking results, and often acts uncaring” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Damian is rude and bratty” yeah, it’s a character flaw.

Also, some people may not even regard everything listed above as flaws.

Having negative traits allows incredible flexibility within your characters, what makes them intriguing, what makes them easy to relate to. If you want to write people, then write people. But they can’t be good and clean all the time.

If they ever make the live action version the Guru episode it’ll go like this.

The guru: so, Aang, let’s start opening up your chakras. What are you ashamed of?

Aang (who never hurt Katara): ummm…

The guru: What do you blame yourself for?

Aang (who never ran away): uuuummm…

The guru: What are the lies you tell yourself?

Aang (who never denied he’s the avatar): ummmm…

The guru: What attaches you to this world?

Aang (who isn’t in love with Katara): ummmmm…

The guru: WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?
