Today I Took Diced Green Peppers, Seasoned Them With Salt And Fresh Black Pepper And Baked It At 8000

Trick or treating idea for this year: go around and just start killing people

"Think you can keep up, Little Buddy?" "With a muzzled hound? Worry about yourself, V.IV."

The zoomed out, complete render by @mfdraws! This time featuring V.IV Rusty! Check out more of their work here and here.

I've had a scenario in my head forever of Ziyi cornering Rusty for answers because she's still not in the know, but before she can get him to talk the two are ambushed by the PCA or Balam and have to fight their way out together.

Taking a trip to Rubicon 3 for this comm of Yue Yu (and little Ziyi) from Armored Core 6! Fun change of pace to draw a game character, as I don't tend to draw a lot of fanart.

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

How To Write Trauma With Humanity

This short post is for those who think that they might be so focused on writing trauma well that they accidentally forget to write an actual character.

As someone who has an "interest" (read: deeply passionate and completely consuming dedication) for psychology and character analysis, I feel like sometimes writers don't really know how to write a character with trauma.

To quote a quote:

Don't Write A Traumatized Character, Write A Character With Trauma

I'm just trying to talk about those situations where the only interesting thing that we ever learn about this character is the fact that they have trauma and that's sad.

People tend to think that PTSD and trauma in general is just:

sit in dark, crying inconsolably about death

have nightmares

hide the fact that you have PTSD with broodiness

try to revenge

die tragically or happy ever after

Remember: Nobody has time for that

These people have obligations, responsibilities, family members, loved ones, and dreams that don't allow for this type of lifestyle.

Many people with PTSD *seem* like standard members of society. They sometimes participate in community activities. They have hobbies and vague interests that they put on their dating profile but don't really care about.

People with PTSD and trauma are interesting REGARDLESS of their trauma and trauma-related bullshit, not because.

If the only thing that's interesting about a character is what something else did to your character, it's not really interesting.

What's their dreams?

What do they like to eat in the morning?

What's their values?

Stop Trying TO ANSWER These Important Questions With:

"don't care :3 trauma will make this character complete :D"

V.IV Rusty's one of the weirdest takes on a Vergil rival character ever. What if the unbeatable lone wolf warrior who prides himself on his unparalleled skill meets his perfect match in the form of our underdog protagonist and reacts by going "that's so cool. These other assholes are all fake you're the only bitch in this house I respect. Wanna hang out and grab a beer some time buddy? Pal? Amigo? Broski?" And when circumstances conspire to make you enemies he can't stop admiring you even as you try to kill each other. When he loses he's proud for you and happy to have something new to strive for. Like dude, stop being such a dude you're making it really hard to want to kick your ass.
