In another (happier) world, I think Muhen would've been Akechi's Sojiro. Akechi would've lived above Jazz Jin just like how Joker lived above Leblanc. Muhen would've taught him how to make the drinks and close up at night. They would've bonded over music. And Akechi would finally have an adult looking after him. Because Muhen does care about him in-canon. He's the only character in the epilogue that mentions Akechi, he notices who Akechi spends time with, and he wishes to see him again.
It's so sad that Akechi assumes nobody cares about him or wants him around and yet this random jazz club owner does. Do you ever think about Muhen seeing Akechi at the Jazz Jin sometime in December, not knowing it would be the last time he ever would
#i die inside whenever i think about how akechi will never know that Muhen cares about him. even if its really small it's still there#it means so much that joker isnt the only one that remembers akechi and still wants him around#and the fact that joker does NOT reveal to Muhen that Akechi is 'dead' is so important to me#it means the only two people that care about him in the epilogue both hope that he will return one day#“you are loved more than you will ever know” etc etc.#yeah dont mind me im just hyperfixating on a minor character with 1.5 seconds of screentime again#persona 5#persona 5 royal#my post#goro akechi#p5#p5r#p5r akechi#shuake#akira kurusu#p5r muhen

Biggest folley of Motley and why it got so difficult for me to write was because I kept getting so caught up on trying to represent every aspect of their stories all at once anytime there were on screen, when really I need to remember that they are in fact Just Little Guys
#aaah. the difficulty of writing ocs youve had since middle school#to me they are at the end of their story. but to you ..... they are just random characters by a stranger on tha internet#i need to break them down to their core essentials again ..... work backwards#first few chapters are gonna get some minor edits to the art and dialogue#but i have a clearer view of what the next few chapters will be#glad i paused for a few weeks to work on far out (which is also looking super good. i love jane and galactica. theyre so funny)#its nice to make new characters fron scratch#the first few motley chapters are gonna get punched up and future ones will be overall funnier#kept trying to make it serious but it needs to be funny. otherwise this shit is gonna get depressing real quick lol

i know i just posted it in my previous ask but i seriously cannot stop thinking about this image
not just how ptilopsis is making coffee just like she would make a chemestry substance or sussuro and perfumer showing their pets to each other, but mostly THIS
for something in the background this is the most heartwarming shit ive even seen about these two. silence getting a sleep attack from her narcolepsy and saria (this is her, white hair + orange nails + bits of her horn being shown) not helping it but taking care of silence by removing her coffee from her to avoid it being spilled. it's currently in rhodes island so silence would never allow saria near her and saria knows it, but she can't help but taking care of her regardless
saria once again showing that she still cares a lot about silence despite the events, this woman can beat the shit out of a whole man effortlessly but is unable to hurt her owl or stand seeing her being hurt
#i am once again not being normal about them#artists this is my most favorite shit in art pieces#very minor background details that can tell a LOT about a character#i love these two too much for my own good look at me analysis some pixels in a background image#arknights#saria is so loveable istg

i kind of fell off Love Sea for a few weeks so i'm only watching episode 6 right now, but halfway through i have to say that while I love everyone in this bar my favorite character has to be Connor, Sir Not Appearing In This Film.
What the fuck is his deal, he's such a weirdo. buys his pet writer friend an All Inclusive Beach Vacation that he forces him to go in which includes a Hot Beach Guy to take care of him.
and THEN, as if that wasn't enough, it turns out he ALSO had a sugarbaby that he married, and is the jealous type, and likes to stir shit. This man is a fucking menace all from over the phone. Certified Weirdo Behavior.
i am assuming that Connor and Khom are from their own MAME novel,please tell me if it's one that's already been adapted into a show because i am regrettably a Connor Stan now.
#love sea#love sea the series#also the guy that they cast to be Connor's Voice Actor has a very nice voice!#look i love an unhinged freak and Connor is giving me that in every brief glimpse of him we get#not me on my minor character bullshit yet again#this one is especially egregious

new Wolf thoughts just dropped
so something that occurred to me last night- in the wedding scene, after being unfrozen, Wolf offers a selfie with Lydia and Astrid and poses and everything, only to look a lil disappointed when they don't seem interested (and why would they be? Lydia was a Mario Bava stan and cop movies were probably the last thing she'd ever watch). The poster behind his desk in his office is very heavily implied to be the one from the movie he died making, based on the foreboding tagline, the suit he's wearing on it (same one he's wearing in the afterlife) and, as @one-fancy-flapjack pointed out, his pose showing the non-injured side of his face.
Going off the design style/fonts it's very likely from the 1980s, which puts his death date way before the existence of smartphones or even cell phones.
So the incredible implication I'm getting here is that 1. there wound up being in universe, a whole Frank Hardballer fandom, whether genuine or ironic, well into the 2010s, which makes sense! either people watched them on TV, were introduced to them by their parents, or had cult midnight movie sessions, 2. big enough that people coming into the Afterlife during the smartphones era ran into him with their skullphones or whatever the punny term for them there is and begged him for a selfie and 3. at some point, someone (probably Janet bless that patient woman's soul) had to explain the concept of a selfie to him for the first time.
and this old dork LOVES it and will offer one any chance he gets because he's nothing if not good to his fans. it's really sweet the fact he must have a decent ongoing fandom in the afterlife and the knowledge that even after he left the world of the living, people were enjoying his movies.
#beetlejuice#wolf jackson#headcanon#worldbuilding#meta#also it's hilarious his name is in the font that the title would usually be in and vice versa#he's got such an ego but it's adorable lord give me wolf jackson's self confidence#my man is an auteur#me: don't overthink beetlejuice canon too much it's a gag comedy#also me: writes headcanon posts based on one (1) joke#i love this old man i can't stop thinking about him#he's such a good!#and overthinking minor characters is generally my brand across fandoms#it's free real estate!#maybe this will make me start writing again#i log on i sexualize those old men i log off

Gamers this Yakuza crush is crushing! You know it's bad when I'm already trying to make an s/i
#pan rambles#it's gonna take forever for me to play his game unfortunately ;v;#I wanna see him so bad...He seems so sweet and silly and 👉👈#Since I'm nowhere near close to his game- My s/i is still a big WIP#I don't want them to be involved with any Yakuza stuff though#Also I think it'd be fun if maybe a younger s/i appeared in one of Kiryu's games-#Idk about that though. we'll see#I just think it'd be fun if minor character that showed up in a few games shows up again and ends up becoming [REDACTED's] Love interest#But yeah-agksbfjdk Much to think about but alas it'll take forever before I actually get to that point of playing his game(s)😔#I'd love to play more but some IRL stuff has been taking up my mind and it makes it impossible for me to enjoy anything lately#I just love making mistakes and feeling like I'm the biggest disgrace to my family ever <3 /s#That aside though- don't wanna focus on the bad stuff#I'm gonna focus on my f/os now! Yayyy Yippee!

today's repostober comes with a lot of words. because if i remember correctly i restrained myself from writing an essay at the time i made these. because look. all of the ut cast but especially papyrus belong in the harvest moon 64 world. i don't care if crossovers are cringe (are they? no don't answer because i really don't care). these are my two favorite video games and they go together like pb and j.
anyway first we have papyrus drinking water after water after water at the bar. this is an incredibly time consuming but free way to get unlimited energy to upgrade all your tools to the max on the first night. hypothetically. if you feel like spending. idk......20 hours or so of your life doing it......(he does) (sans does not). because not only is it free as in, costs no in game currency, time stands still inside the bar and in this game time IS MONEY. also "aren't you the healthy one?" is what the bartender says when you order the glass of water and I've only read it about one hundred million times in my life
a weird exploit exists at the horse races in which you can prepare to place an extravagant bet but withdraw it at the last moment. you pay nothing but the game considers the bet placed all the same. so you bet he will figure that out and take advantage of it!! seriously though, i just love the idea of the situation being a bit switched from the way it was in undertale. sans has a bit of a hard time finding his place in this weird surface world. (and yes i think he would stress about bills. what of it.) papyrus somehow finds his way into the hearts of every single person in the village. he is at the top of his game and everyone loves him!!!!!!!
#man i am getting myself excited about this crossover again#everything fits together perfectly. it's a beautiful puzzle and the answer is papyrus#ALL THE GIRLS HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM just like the real harvest moon#that's very important to me shhh just let me have this#all the characters and minor characters have places in this crossover i just didn't draw about them :)#oh. oh man. i am obsessed with the way papyrus can stop time by going into the bar and sans is aware of this yet can't do anything about it#HE HAS ALL THIS TIME NOW. AND H HE. ISN'T TRAPPED. WHAT'S HE GONNA DO??????#you can't just switch off that part of you that's given up due to circumstances. oohhhhhhh no you have to unlearn that helplessness.#and on the other hand all your problems don't magically disappear if suddenly everyone loves you. papyrus has a lot to figure out too.#so fun to turn in my head and put together the pieces

Absolutely. Not necessarily in a shipp-y way (Unless?) But god do I love seeing necrons bicker apparently#Cawl and Bile?

What can I fucking say?!#Guy Haley should be awarded a prize for bringing back emotion and weight into what is surely one of the top 5 most overused words in 40k#Cawl and Qvo? Never before have I so thoroughly understood shippers of something that I don't personally ship.#I (barely) write a different type of fanfiction but somewhere in here there is a potential for the most wonderfully fucked up family#Primus and Porter?

Holy shit! Maka & CRONA'S VAs??!!!
#my ramblings#I mean I know it's kinda expected that Maka & Soul's VAs return to voice a promo for this 20th anniversary exhibition thing-#-but I never really expected Crona's VA to come back and take part on this promo thing. it's such a treat! I was maybe expecting Kid's VA-#-cuz afaik Mamoru(Kid's VA) is still active in the voice acting career plus Kid is part of the main cast#don't get me wrong. I TOTALLY LOVE hearing Crona's voice again and it was such a pleasant surprise. it's just... idk well unexpected for a-#-minor character (later 'villain') to be the 1st one to make a come back voice alongside with the protagonist instead of one of the main-#-party Maka teamed up with like Kid or Black Star#what does this mean#well.. maybeee?? Kid along with the Thompson sisters and Black Star along with Tsubaki will have their own part in promoting this later on#assuming their VAs would also make a come back#so lack for a better reason they partnered up Maka & Crona for this promo taking account of what happened in the manga and how meaningful-#-their bond is to the story. sooo... safe to assume CROMAKA CANON!!!#lmao my brain is so fried im sorry#this doesn't makes sense. I'm literally just rambling#tho I wish I knew what they were saying...I heard Crona's VA saying 'big chance of (something) is going to be held'#and Maka saying 'Ohkubo-sensei (something something) special video' lol that's as far as my limited JP can understand#I wish there was a transcript or a translation of they said (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

Hey I just wanted to ask a writer question. I really admire your writing and the amount of work and dedication you put into your stories and characters. You are one of my favourite authors ever. I have been wanting to get into writing and I was wondering how you flesh out your characters? For example you have a character that you’ve thought out, do you have a template that you fill in? Or just write a whole bunch of points about the character in a Google doc? I know that question might not make the most sense but I have a few characters that I’ve given quirks and backstories in my mind but I have no idea how to transfer them onto paper? Like Jane from TRT, is there just a big template or doc where you randomly put points into or some other type of organization? I know it’s not an easy thing to answer on text or even something you might not want to answer but even one sentence of advice is much appreciated :) Thank you so much for everything! I appreciate you. I will also put this into the ask thingy if you want to answer on there instead of PM 😁
I've managed to hammer this out in bits and pieces over the moments I've been more coherent so I think I'll make sense. First, thank you so, so, so much! I honestly love these characters so I'm always happy to hear someone likes it, even if I enjoy the work! 😭
Second - I do in fact have a template in doc form that I use to keep things organized! It's one I've been using since I took a novel writing course years ago by a published author, and in one particular class we went over character development, which is where I learned the template. The way I was taught (and the way I develop major characters) - first, even before filling in the template, I figure out their archetype(s). What story role are they filling? Who will they be a foil for? I like to think of those as your foundation, because every character is an archetype of some kind, and you can use that to build them up. To use Jane as an example, she's an antihero archetype, yes, but I've also pulled elements from: the Unscrupulous Hero, the Sympathetic Murderer, the Combat Pragmatist, and the Ineffectual Loner. Compared to Matt's hero archetype, she's the Lancer. Archetypes can help you if you're struggling to build up from the bottom.
Once I have the archetype, I start filling in the Major Character/Hero template, which roughly looks like this (if you don't fill it all right away, that's fine, because there's a step after this to fill it in the rest of the way). I like this one because I feel like it covers VERY important things that a lot of online character profiles skip, and has much less of a focus on looks (which I find way less important from a writing perspective):
Name: Age: Family History: Career: Physical Description: (include things like scars, notable or unusual features) Preferred Style of Clothing: (instead of listing brands, try to instead describe their style of clothing as it relates to their character - ex: Jane wears upper-end pantsuits in muted colors when meeting clients, because they carry a strong emphasis on professionalism; when hunting things down, she wears what is practical over anything to do with aesthetic) Goal: (every character should have one; what are they trying to do?) Motivation: (WHY do they want that goal?) Big Secret: (if it were Jane, it'd be what happened in Los Angeles; so what are they hiding? Keeping to themselves?) Self-image: (How do they see themselves? Are they confident and secure? Insecure and depressed?) Internal Conflict: (what are they struggling with?) Game: (What's some little game they enjoy?) Pet: (if applicable) Temptation: (what's aaaalways going to lure them in?) Vehicle: (if applicable; alternatively, how do they prefer to get around?) What makes them unique: (our fake post-apocalyptic character we made as a class had his teeth sharpened into points to scare people; Jane is often fidgeting with threads; just anything that stands out) How do they speak: (do they speak very precisely? Use lots of slang? Do they have an accent?) Quote: (What quote sums them up, or what quote do they relate to most? I have an entire folder of these for Jane tbh, and some for Ciro as well) Lesson Learned: (All characters should grow in some way, rather than stagnating. So how do they grow? What do they learn through the story?)
Now, this is something I was encouraged to do after the template, and also something I was already doing on my own. Once you have the template as finished as you feel comfortable with, you might feel like you need to develop the character a little further to fill in the rest, or solidify what you already have. The way you can do that? Write something short with this character. It doesn't have to be anything you need to post; it can be based on a short scene, based on a prompt, things like that. I like dumping them into: humorous scenarios, angsty scenarios, and Action Oriented (TM) scenes. Those really help you get into the meat of the character (aka: how they react to teasing/flirting/jokes; how they react to strong emotion; how they react in situations that might cause panic). Basically, it's your way of introducing yourself to them and becoming more comfortable writing them, because often a character might act a certain way in a cold, rigid template, but behave entirely differently once you drop them into a scene. Alternatively, you might get to writing and realize you need to make an adjustment so that they have better chemistry with the other characters. Writing a new character's a dance, and you're both going to step on each other's toes in the beginning, but once you learn how they move, it gets easier. And it helps them develop and grow as you learn about them!
#writing advice#writing#character templates#this is the template i've used for most of my major characters and i love it tbh#i've tried some other ones and they just don't work for me#i feel like they focus WAY too much on appearance which is fairly minor in the scheme of writing#and not enough on things like goals and motivations and who the character *is*#because that's our job as authors#we're here to show you who these characters are at their base level so you can watch them grow#we are here to dissect them so readers can see their squishy insides#or as the author who led the class said: 'your job as a writer is to cause pain and suffering'#and you can't DO that if you don't know the inner workings#so i've used her template constantly since then because it makes that easier#it also emphasises growth which is something i LOVE#because i hate when everyone just stays the same in a story#ok i think that's everything#been writing this up in bits and pieces over the past two week and was finally coherent for long enough to clean it up a bit#now to keep seeing if i can start write writing again

I genuinely don't understand why the exact same people who are obsessed with how Maria and Malenia are badass strong female warriors ignore Gratia and Nepheli @ I genuinely don't understand why the exact same people who are obsessed with how Maria and Malenia are masculine ignore Henriett and Dolores.
It feels like some people that fixate on a trope/vibe/whatever only care for as long as it is the popular, "poster girl" character representing it? Just proves my point that they try to make a statement to stick it to the hypothetical opponents rather than genuinely liking this type? "We really need Fromsoft to give us more characters like this" they did, you just didn't find minor characters to be powerful enough to be used in your interaction-bait posts, and it probably didn't help you that those minor characters attract less (none, actually) debates.
#fandomry rambles#soulsborne#i am once again asking for you to be consistent#there is exactly one artist that cares about those respective minor characters but like#the fact that popular artist is still not enough to start the trend is very telling#gratia uses chunk of iron to battle people and basically a she-hulk#she is everything you claim to love about Maria but x5#sorry for negativity I think Tail's saltiness rubbed onto me vfjghj /pos#I won't make a habit of salty posts of this nature I promise#just don't get the inconsistency

#psyching myself up to try and watch the new series of heartstopper#I don't make a lot of personal posts these days and it feels easier to talk about this in the tags for some reason now - like I'm whisperin#but series 2 absolutely wrecked me in a way that is not entirely healthy#isaac's storyline is just a bit too close to home for me and I became a bawling mess every single time he was on screen#and not in a cathartic way. in a like I am dredging up the trauma of growing up aroace without having fully come to terms with it yet way.#I've come such a long way with slowly starting to feel pride in being aroace even in just the last few months#that I wondered if I'd actually be fine with it this time. I even considered rewatching s2 in preparation. turns out I'm not fine.#I watched a recap of s2 to try and remember what happened and uhhhh that clip of isaac rejecting that love interest in the bookshop#(with the novel loveless blurry in the background) has already brought up emotions.#then I thought I'd scroll some spoilers in his character tag just to prepare myself for what would happen with him this season#and just reading posts (mild spoilers here) about him being proudly aroace have sent me into paroxysms of sobbing yet again so....#I've honestly come such a long way in the last few years and the last few months. I'm even talking about it on tumblr now.#but I guess most of my work on that front has been accepting the present and the future of not having or wanting a partner.#whereas there's still a lifetime of trauma from the way it made me feel in the past#both growing up feeling alienated and having no idea what was different about me and the extent to which I tried to make it not be true#for years after first having an inkling of it being a possibility. I would have done anything to make myself alloromantic.#(the realisation of asexuality came later and was more of a 'huh I guess that makes sense' thing lol)#and even though I no longer want to change this fact about who I am#I guess I'm more traumatised by it all than I consciously realised. genuinely thought I'd be fine at this point.#anyway ramble over. I'm actually not sure if I should watch the new season or not. will it be helpful to work through the emotions?#or just re-traumatise me? felt more like the latter last time so hmmm.#guess I'm going to have to think about it.#it feels ridiculous that such a fluffy show - in which the character in question is pretty minor - should provoke such a reaction#but there you go#mine#tag chat#personal

For research purposes can we get Max in one of those 80s coach outfits? (Red short shorts and very tight white tee)
-🧶
This is what I’ve become. (/lh)
Nah but really I love 80s mens outfits. Glenn in Nightmare on Elm was my first foray into it and I hate that today’s culture will have to change a lot until we can truly bring it back into the mainstream.
#asks#🧶 anon#j is talking again#also i know this is from the character blogs because my mutual is the richie account#its fun :)#also related to my mention about horror i think max would be one of the cast to die in the middle of a horror movie#hes too cliche jock to die anywhere but there unless its intentionally a parody#or a different subgenre of horror#the first deaths are minorities the last deaths are loved characters#middle deaths are characters basically marked for death because theyre mean or otherwise to the main cast#and youve got your final girls (neutral) for the survivors#infodump over#not enough people talk to me about horror so im sorry for coopting your ask 🧶#i hope you dont mind
