showing my 8 year old sisters the basic commands is so fun because I'll spawn like 6 trillion ender dragons and they'll just fucking explode

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!

I can't wait to make fanart of my own characters

my friend said something and I had to make it reality

MAKOTOOOOOOOOOOOO . DO YOU UDNDERSTAMD THAT ONLY A FRESH CORPSE CAN EVER TRULY BECOME A SYMBOL OF TRUE, PURE, ULTIMATE HOPE. MAKOTOOOOOO. MAKOTOOOOO IT ISNT DYING FOR OUR SINS ITS SUICIDE. MAKOTO NAEGI DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR PAIN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A WAY OUT AND THOSE WHO, TOO, ATTEMPTED TO LIVE UP TO THE TITLE OF ULTIMATE HOPE WERE ABLE TO FIGHT THEIR WAY OUT OF IT IN THE FACE OF DEATH. MAKOTO DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE HOLDING THE KEY. YOUR KEY IS YOUR HUMANITY. YOU MUST ALLOW YOURSELF TO GRIEVE TO LOVE TO LAUGHTO CRY OTHERWISE YOUR OBSESSION WITH YOUR ULTIMATE HOPE STATUS WILL DRIVE YOU TO A SLOW AND PAINFULDEATJ YOU WILL BECOME THE LOBOTOMY AND YOU WILL BECOME THE POISON GAS IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO STAY IN TJISCAGE
