And a second version. The terrible trio after having fun:

So I was randomly searching through the web and found this. Eizan with bangs is absolutely beautiful

haven’t seen anyone post about this yet but my family friend was murdered last week - she was a 24 year old trans woman.

her name was Natalia Smüt Lopez - she was a drag performer and a force to be reckoned with on the bay area scene.

she has left behind a family struggling to pay for funeral costs and many expenses.

ways you can help:

gofundme organized by her family

donate directly to her sister:

please share if you can’t donate!!

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.) 

No doodles today bc I lost my pen for my tablet AGAIN 😵

我笔呢？！怎么又不见了？！

Eh so some music...not before sleep, unless you are me who get anxious if the good-night song is too gentle.

Vocalo-Colosseum. This song for Gaia v.s Sikorsky, Prisoners arc. The fateful encounter LOL.

虽然可能已经说过了，但是请代死囚篇二人初见。

hey, pssst. ride the cyclone fans.

you totally shouldn’t click on this link because it totally won’t take you to a google drive folder which totally doesn’t have a full copy of the 2016 production of Ride The Cyclone which definitely isn’t accessible to anyone with the link

because that would just be terrible
