Few more of Vlad's powers

Sometimes he throws these kinds of ectoplasm discs

This bubble where he traps the trio (might be a type of ectoplasm construct)

I discovered a gif set recently, made up of some of RA character deaths, some of whom were Lucas North, John Porter, Sir Guy, and Thorin. 😭😭😭

WHYYY 😭😭😭 that hurt to run into!! (I haven’t ever watched Spooks, nor Strike Back’s second season, nor RH’s last season, but ouch💔💔)

At least they survive in fanfiction.

I think I’ve come across that GIF set, too! And it’s heartbreaking. So many amazing characters are in there. 😞😞😞😞

But, you’re right, we have fanfiction that can right the wrongs of the canon world.

😉😉😉

Here are some GIFs of our beautiful men.

And, not forgetting……..

♥️♥️♥️

Either your main character changes or they change the people around them.

Either way, change.

I need everyone’s best character advice. STAT.

Jayce and Viktor

Studying Arcane has wildly improved my artistic abilities and I have no idea how

But here are the boys in all their glory. I cried whilst drawing both of them but am somehow mostly happy with the final products

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

You’re stuck in a room with the last character in your gallery. How safe are you?

[helpful-writing-tips]

When writing emotionally reserved characters:

Show your character's struggles with holding in emotions. Just because your character won't let themself go in public, doesn't mean they don't struggle holding everything in.

Find a motive. Pride and/or consideration for those around them can make emotionally reserved people hold back more than would be considered good for them. There are other reasons too, perhaps the initial cause and the reason now are different, but try to give them a reason.

Show side-effects. Everything you bottled up shows itself in another way, whether it's physical or mental. This can be long- and short-term, depending on the severity of the emotions.

Give them coping mechanisms. Everyone who wishes not to show certain emotions has a trick or two to keep themselves in check. Taking a sip of water, not looking people in the eyes, clenching their fists, breathing just a bit too deeply.

Write subconscious signs that they give off, which close friends or family might pick on. Just because these characters want to keep their emotions to themselves, doesn't mean they don't give off signs. Some manage to keep said signs well hidden from those closest to them, but it's more common for environment to pick up on something at the very least.
