lmao just going through a list of attention grabbing titles and "Tom Cruise" made me giggle

So I had a question about writing. How do you usually create characters and give them their personalities? Since whenever a good scenario comes to my mind and I sit down to write, I almost immediately give up because I either create boring characters, or I just can't create any. So do you have any advice you want to give on this?

So it sounds to me like the problem might be the way you’re approaching storytelling - If you’re thinking of scenarios and then trying to come up with characters to plug into them, that implies to me that your scenarios are likely things that are *happening to* those characters instead of things that the characters are *trying to do*.

Characters who are “interesting” usually have some amount of agency in their lives - something they’re pursuing as compelling obstacles block the way. So if a story is just things happening to a character and them reacting… it makes them feel passive, and not super “interesting.”

So what I would do, is instead of thinking of scenarios first, think of the *characters* first and if they’re interesting the stories will come naturally. One of my favorites is Indiana Jones: Stuffy archeology professor with a secret double life as a globe-trotting treasure hunter. That’s a one sentence description that immediately conjures all sorts of exciting ideas.

If you want to break down why that one works so well, it’s because he’s relatable (stuffy professor; everyone’s had one of those) with an interesting twist (secret double life; always cool) and built-in story generator (globe-trotting treasure hunter; traveling the world! Finding treasure!)

I don’t know if anyone else uses that term “story generator” or if that’s a dumb one I made up - I use it to describe the quality of a character or world that, with only a few words, is SO compelling literally anyone could start to imagine stories with it. “Boarding school for wizards”, “amnesiac war robot from Mars”, “Tom Cruise”, “secret hotel for assassins”, “summer camp for psychic secret agents”, “demon who rebels against his destiny to save the world”… these are all great examples of story generators.

Hope something in there was useful!

happy valentines

i'm going to throw up he's so fucking ugly

is promoting stuff a thing people do anymore. I don't know. Anyway, I have a fangan. It's on Instagram. Isn't that cool. Here's some art from it.

Info abt the ronpa under the cut. Also, the link to the fangan

If my sister sees this post im killing myself

You wanna read it so bad, and it is definitely not a metaphor for anything. It's completely normal, and nothing in the fangan symbolizes anything. It's completely normal.

also, it's pink and purpled themed, which is already amazing.

Ok ok hi. I'm kind of bad at talking about my own things, so this'll just be a list of what I have included in the fangan. yay.

there's TWO protagonist… I only have a picture of one of them, so you have to look at the Instagram to see the other. Heh. Loser.

It's interactive, so you can kind of change the course of the story, but I'll never give you like a huge choice where one character ends up dying and stuff.

I also post a lot on my story followers respond to my dms /ref

there's like 1 mob psycho reference kind of

it's the perfect time to check it out because we just got out of the boring part of the prologue. You won't miss anything besides funny character introductions.

that's it. I honestly have no other marketing tactics.

I make everything for the fangan, so it's not like the pinnacle of quality, but I think it has a good story, so it's ok guys.

here's the link to the instagram… yay.
