When you're fleshing out a morally gray character, get into their head. Explore what makes them tick—their backstory, beliefs, and what gets them out of bed in the morning. These characters aren't black and white; they're a swirling mix of shades of gray. Show the tug-of-war they feel inside when faced with tough decisions. It's like watching someone juggle their principles and desires right in front of you—it's what makes them feel real.
Throw your character into situations where the right path isn't crystal clear. Life's full of those messy, uncertain moments, and your character should reflect that. It keeps readers guessing and rooting for them to figure it out.
your character grow over time. Maybe their moral compass shifts as they learn from their mistakes or adapt to changing circumstances. People change, and so should your characters—it keeps the story fresh and unpredictable.
Give your character a unique flavor. Avoid the tired old stereotypes personas. Mix it up with quirks, a distinct background, or motivations that aren't what you'd expect.
Even if your character's choices aren't always squeaky clean, make sure readers can see their humanity. Share their doubts, vulnerabilities, and reasons behind their actions. It's about making them relatable, even when they're making questionable calls.
Every action has a reaction, right? Show how your character's decisions ripple out and affect not just them, but everyone around them.
Remember, morally gray doesn't mean they're totally without a conscience. Your character might have their own code or justify their actions based on their unique perspective. It's all about that gray area where things get interesting.
Decide where your character's moral rollercoaster is headed. Will they evolve into a better version of themselves, slide back into old habits, or stay forever stuck in that gray zone?

Ok thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Feeling a bit ender kingy
feeling very frustrated about the ways people are talking about hurricane Milton. lots of needless, borderline fear mongering language with very little actual helpful information.
information about Milton that might ACTUALLY be helpful:
there is also a code for free Ubers to evacuate effected counties, as well as shuttles from evacuating counties to nearby storm shelters
Please for the love of God stop preying on people's fears and causing panic. Know what resources are available to you and how to access them. If you approach this hurricane carefully YOU WILL BE OKAY!!!!! YOUR LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE RUINED!!!
Please link other resources you find or think other people might find useful!
Hi there! 😊 I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share something very personal and close to my heart.

Mohamed has started a GoFundMe campaign called "Help Mohamed Rebuild His Dream and Family." Any support – whether through donations or simply sharing the campaign – would mean the world to us. 🙏✨

Home sick and did a little doodle of my fav trio!! I’m gonna color it later :]
No sources because I'm typing this on my phone from where I'm sitting on the bathroom floor, but tldr there are three major things that need to happen for Maduro to step down:
The election results are so overwhelmingly in favor of the opposition that Maduro can't smudge the numbers, and it's obvious to the world that the election was unfair. This is done! Venezuelans came out in force to vote, and Edmundo may have won as much as 70% of the vote! The Venezuelans have given Maduro a mandate that is impossible to deny.
The opposition and neighboring countries give Maduro a path out with amnesty. This one is the peak of injustice, but it's extremely unlikely Maduro will step down if he knows he'll be immediately arrested and sent to the Hague. This is likely why Brazil, Colombia, and the US have had such tepid, slow reactions so far- they're going to want to plan together at OAS how negotiations will happen before acting too rashly.
The military has to abandon Maduro. In all countries, the military is the ultimate arbitrator of elections. Venezuela's military has stood by Maduro so far, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll continue to back him if it becomes clear that he can't continue to pay them the money they're used to. In addition, though it's less likely, even if the generals back Maduro, the rank-and-file troops may not- a lot of them are sick of Maduro as well, and they may choose to essentially go on strike.
The Venezuelan people have done their part and are still doing it. Now everyone else just needs to support them.
