maybe a little corny but idrc i guess. so: maybe i'm just getting older or maybe my age/aging is totally unrelated to all this but i find that these days, now that i've grown out of being an angsty teen looking for anger and hate in every corner of the world, i find that now i am more struck by kindness, especially in fictional worlds that are harsh and demand a character let go of their kindness and inherent goodness to survive and never be taken advantage of or things like that. i like when characters are so kind that it's truly truly one of their core traits. i know it's not exactly rare, but these days... kinda feels like it. i'm always struck by characters who fight to be good and kind and still believe in fickle things like love and other people. characters whose kindness make others wary of them and draw them closer simultaneously. characters whose goodness and insanely strong (fought-for) sense of love and humanity (and i don't mean humanity like humankind as a whole; i mean a person's sense of humanity, i mean people. i mean people need people. i mean people need closeness and love and things that like that) makes others around them more likable and ... human. characters whose kindness/goodness/big big big hearts humanize everyone who gets the chance to be basked in the glow of that beauty.

#long post #i think it's ma xiuying from swbts/hwdtw yanno #hwdtw felt so ... incomplete?/wanting? because she wasn't around for so much of it and the moment she became a player again i was like Ah.#Ah this is what i needed. this is what They needed. her humanity humanizes everyone else #and it's so beautiful to see the world through the lenses of someone who is pained by others pain #and their inability to do something about it. to change it. make it better. their inability to hurt. so beautiful...#i know its not exactly rare. but i think we as a people are missing a lot of sympathy and empathy in the world today #i think thats what a lot of humankind is lacking even me sometimes without meaning to. i think its hard to be kind in a world #that fights to snuff out that goodness that i think a lot of us are born with though not all. because nothing is generally inherent i think #i think its mostly learned behavior. i think its good to know that what you want to be as a person is kind and good.#such a strong sense of ... knowing. such a rare thing to want to be these days #i cant say i want to be a good person who is kind. i think i try to be as much as possible and thats all i'll be and its okay but.#characters like that...#and moira delacroix from evocation by s. t. gibson #ah... crazy #i think even ethel cain from preacher's daughter. because even after everything she went through #she still wanted to find it in herself to forgive and let go. still believe in love and be brave enough to love and be loved.#love is good and important.#sounds corny but thats what ive learned. we need other people and we need love and we need to be kind.#ma xiuying #she who became the sun #he who drowned the world #shelley parker chan #moira delacroix #evocation #the summoner's circle #s. t. gibson #ethel cain #preacher's daughter #s4pphoiduser

some fandom disagreements are like "I see your point but I think this other aspect of the narrative is more significant," and some are like "I don't think you can read."

#and some are like #this character has traits and behaviours #that's not an error

a wandering knight, drawn to the quiet of the forest. her touch may be a blessing or a curse.

#my art #artists on tumblr #illustration #knight whose touch turns anything into plants and it can vary from subject to subject. she came to this power 'mysteriously'#the transformation is also dependent on how long contact is maintained... smiley face....#idk maybe once in a while i'll drop something like this. it's fun to think of a character while trying to banish an art block #also thanks for liking the wip of this!!!!

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

#honestly i have never read character analysis that i felt was 100% accurate #and it shouldn’t be #it’s a transformative creative work in and of itself based on the viewer’s subjective experience with the work #To Me is especially useful for less serious things #like. this random song applies to this extremely specific and emotionally fraught situation… To Me 😌😌#you know how it is

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

#I have a bit of a problem with giving everyone the same speech patterns but on god I try #Bc genuinely. This is the no. 1 most important thing while writing fanfic #If you can make a character sound like they would say that it doesn't matter if they actually would #My posts #Writing wise

nothing but respect for our troops (smut writers) but listen. i dont want to be the person to tell you this, but not every character is going to be a dom or a sub. some people. and i know this is hard to hear. but some people do have vanilla sex. and some of those people might even be The Character.

#kellan.txt #fandom #the kink fic post #editing to add the following tags:#obviously people can do whatever they want i am not the fandom police #dont like dont read. i will click out if i dont like it—you all have fun #this is mostly just an expression of a different set of priorities #where i prioritize writing/reading smut that is 'in character' per my hc/read on a character #and other people either don't have the same read or are just writing per their own preferences #no judgment is being made here im not like mad at anyone or saying anyone is doing smth wrong

I'm always entertained by people doing those "canon VS fanon" memes where both are misunderstanding characters to such a violent degree 'cause like

#sp-rambles #“Canon is when they do not cry nor have emotions whatsoever and fanon is when they sob 24/7”#Like idk buddy I think it Depends #Edit: Since this is getting moderately popular #Yes this was made about Sans but also for TF2 #You don't know the hell that is the TF2 fandom and how they treat these characters lol #Because how the hell do you misinterpret such simplistic characters who have like 2 or 3 personality traits each

we need 15-20 episode seasons again these limited series have the worst pacing in the world and none of the character decisions hold any weight

#ace txt #arcane s2 is like. fine-good. but i want it to be GREAT and i think the director vision is suffering #i feel the same about tlovm #if u can't give a characters decisions any time to prove weight what's even the point
