I find it kinda odd how people talk about writing “flawed” characters like the flaws are an afterthought
Like “cool cool we’ve got this perfect hero now to just sprinkle on some Irritability and Trust Issues then microwave for 6 minutes on high until Done”
But I’ve personally found it feels a lot more useful to just… think of the flaws as the Good Traits except bad this time
The protagonist is loyal? Maybe that means they have a hard time recognizing toxic relationships and are easily manipulated by those they want to trust
The hero is compassionate? Maybe they work too hard and overextend themselves trying to help people and then they refuse to ask for help when they need it themselves for fear of burdening others
They’re dedicated to their ideals? Maybe they’re also too stubborn to know when to quit and they have trouble apologizing for their mistakes
If they’re creative, they can also be flighty. If they’re confident, they can be arrogant. If they’re brave, they might be reckless. If they’re smart, they could be condescending. Protective can become controlling, and someone who’s carefree could very well also be emotionally distant
In my opinion, the best “flaws” aren’t just added on afterwards. The best flaws are baked in deep, ‘cause they’re really just virtues turned upside down

Yeah… this is abuse. The stranger with the styrofoam cup is correct.

I found the article, it’s as bad as you think it is:

“Being a psycho girlfriend is a unique kind of power that says A) you have absolute control over your happiness, even the happiness that comes from another person, and B) you’re pretty. When your boyfriend lets you get away with some next level crazy girl shit, he’s essentially saying that you’re pretty and he loves you. And sometimes you need to hear those things by any means necessary. So if you’re in a pinch, you should have some go-to fights to start, just for fun!”

hey everyone! if you so does literally any of these things, especially for the reasons listed in this ass backwards article, they are abusing you. do not stay with abusers.

The Egyptian Mau is probably the oldest breed of cat. In fact, the breed is so ancient that its name is the Egyptian word for “cat.”

#did they name it mau because thats the sound cats make!?

now I am just imagining a very early Egyptian encountering a wild cat for the first time.

human: what the fuck are you?

cat: mau

human: oh okay then

The very first pokemon.

I don’t know why I’m laughing so hard

This is oddly specific.

publicschoolstories:

we have a history teacher who is extremely secretive to the point that none of the other teachers at school really know much about him. if we ask him how his day went or what he ate for lunch he says “I don’t know”, and if we ask him if he has a dog or children or whatever he says “I don’t remember”. and whenever anyone sneezes or coughs or has the hiccups he just goes “what are you doing?!” And looks extremely offended. he also has a strict no food or drink (even water) in the classroom and keeps his own coffee cup locked up in a cabinet and steps out of the room every time he takes a sip. he also has tissue boxes locked in that cabinet and holds the box while you take a tissue and jerks it away after you get one, and there’s a paddle with his name on it also in the closet??? two entire grades at the school have a collective PowerPoint that has all the information we know about him in it. he gets defensive about George Washington and does civil war reenactments. he is a mystery but may be George Washington reincarnated

consultingwinchester:

You know what a really incredible thing about Marvel is? They start at the beginning. They don’t just do group movies, they go individual. You hear everyone’s story. You know how Steve and Bucky go back to the beginning, you know why Loki was hurting, and how Tony doesn’t actually have that high of an opinion of himself, and how Civil War affected T’Challa and his family, and how Peter Quill and the guardians are so much more than just outlaws, and how Dr. Strange has grown as a person, and how Peter Parker truly needs to help people like Tony does. You know everyone’s story. And because of that, you know everyone’s reasoning behind the choices they make, which makes it so much more painful when characters fight one another, because you can see how, for that character, they are completely in the right. People say “oh you can skip that movie it isn’t plot important” but it is. They all are. Because the MCU isn’t just one story. It’s a collection of everyone’s.
