Good Traits Gone Bad

Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:

1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.

2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.

3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.

4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.

5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.

6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.

7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.

8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.

9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.

10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.

These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.

Happy writing!

My current obsession is totally obvious 😩✨

Oil dem tits-

does farm fresh mean like the back of a home depot or more like the candles at white barn that are “manly👹” /srs (not really)

Nah, like fresh off the farm! Dirt clinging to the sweat you worked up under the Texan sun, motor oil and grime on the rag you used to wipe down the engine of an old pickup. That and cigarette smoke, because you smoke while you work. Later you walk into your mother's house with your muddy boots on and she gives you The Look. It's a lazy clean-up for sure. He washes his hands with cheap soap and that's all. Mostly he smells like worn leather, denim, sweat and his own natural musk (that candle might not sell... unless).

Semi-motivational quotes from Hayao Miyazaki

Fans enjoying Strikers mental deterioration and mocking him for poverty (which contributes to poor hygiene) is really messed up when you think about his backstory to get revenge against the oppressive class, even if he’s not going the right way about it. Eating his own to feel strong enough, and going after random targets haphazardly. With how he’s been constantly humiliated by unwanted sexualisation and just wants a more serious story but can’t have it? I think we’ve had the same ‘harder daddy’ joke three times? And he has to oversee a dialogue fixated entirely on sex?

Yeah I see a lot of myself in him. I can see why the critical community is attached to him. That character deserves better. And as always Edward Bosco brings characters to life beautifully

Stop acting like they butchered Striker when they made one terrible gag abt him being an egotistical prick, he was still a legitimate threat and looked like a fucking badass doing so and they kept the core of his character intact, "butchered" istg

My favorite moments of Striker from the newest episode.

[travelergarnett]

Absolutely hysterical to me that Striker can afford a whole statue of himself with a you know what but he cannot upgrade past a flip phone, and then he proceeds to do this-

amazing, i love him sm
