How do you exactly research a character’s personality? I have trouble with that, any advice can help! Thank you ❤️

Hi there!! Thanks for asking and sorry it took me so long to get to this! I check tumblr very infrequently 😞 My best advice is to kind of let your brain pickle in the character’s VOICE first and foremost. It’s much easier for talkative characters (like Mirage haha) because you can build a sense of their personality based on what they say about a given situation in their story, but the rule applies for just about any character regardless of how much/how little they speak.

Try writing practice dialogue between your character of choice and another one, and really focus on what your chosen character is saying. What I find to be super helpful especially if I’m stuck is to rip some direct quotes from the source material and stick them into any applicable situation and then build dialogue around them! Plus it makes for some fun easter eggs for your readers.

Getting a character’s personality right is very very important to me, so I spend a lot of time on dialogue heavy scenes usually with the source material on one side of my screen and my doc on the other, and I will write dialogue as I scrub through the media! Watching clips of your character’s voice actor in interviews can even be helpful too.

I would say another big part of nailing a character’s personality is not just the content of their dialogue (the specific words they say) but also their CADENCE and DELIVERY. For example, I write Optimus and Mirage very differently. Mirage speaks quickly, casually, and usually too much. There are lots of apostrophes, extra words, vocal tidbits (“y’know”, “c’mon”, etc.). Optimus is very stately and collected, and usually says exactly what he means to say and speaks with few contractions. Again, a lot of this is picked up from multiple rewatches (or the equivalent) of whatever source material you’re using.

Body language is also good to note. Again (using Mirage as like my only example LMAO), Mirage is very bouncy and animated and uses his whole body to talk. He’s always moving, so I try to acknowledge that frequently in my writing to give the reader a physical sense of how animated he is.

These are very loose guidelines and should be taken with a grain of salt! But I hope they are helpful :-) Thank you so much for asking, best of luck with your writing endeavors!!! Feel free to ask if anything here needs clarification or expansion.

Watched the Barbie movie and it was okay I guess, tbh I don't thik it was as groundbreaking as all the fuss on here made it sound, but gotta admit Barbie just lying face down wallowing in her misery killed me.

The way he gets off on the embarrassment of it

Eating your ass one day so you can see how good it feels then a couple days later he makes you beg him for it

ILL BE SICK

BEGGING NAOYA FOR ANYTHING... REM, I WILL BE UNWELL!

the satisfaction he'd feel when you come crawling back, whining and nuzzling at his palm because you want something but you're too ashamed to admit what. him telling you spit it out, wife, tell yer man what you need. if you think it stops there, you're wrong. that's when he'd really ramp it up, have you present yourself to him like a fucking animal in heat while he sits there with his feet kicked up, admiring what's his.
