﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌𓆩♡𓆪﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

✎ ;;

Loser! Ellie is a stoner. She has joint butts littering her car and her room. She smokes after school, before work, after work. Pray for her lungs please.

She wants to smoke with you. She low key fantasizes about getting you high for the first time, to watch your eyes turn red and your lips form around the blunt.

She made a playlist and fills it with songs that remind her of you. She's so stereotypically lesbian it hurts.

She has at least a dozen drawings of you in her journal. Sometimes she'll sit in her car, watching you talk with your friends while she doodles you. Sometimes using your social media as references. But it's so sweet the way she adored every feature of yours :((

Like I mentioned last time, she definitely whimpers and begs. I love top! Ellie, but let's be honest, she's a total bottom. She loves to think of you touching her, eating her wet cunt. She genuinely has so many perverted thoughts of you. She wants you to take control of her, make her do anything to give yourself pleasure. Use her face to masturbate, please.

Not just that, but she watches porn thinking about you. She can't help it, she's just so in love. Loves to rub her needy cunt to videos of girls scissoring and cumming, thinking of how she could try it with you.

One day you had asked her if she finished the homework. You were out and hadn't had time to do it. Poor girl could hardly speak, handing you the answers before you could even finish asking.

Your words had played in her head for three days straight. "You're a life saver, Ellie!"

Later that night you even texted her.

[Thanks again! Seriously, I owe you one.]

She stared at the message, heart racing. Come on Ellie, say something clever!!

[No problem, I'll take you up on that one day!]

Nice.

[You're cute. Goodnight, Ellie.]

She had stared at the conversation for hours. She couldn't believe you had been so grateful to her that you texted.

She was so flustered that of course she had gotten hot and bothered, touching herself through her boxers at the way you called her cute.

Shes a gamer, duh, preferring open world rpg shooters. She's tried every cringe game at least once. Fortnight, World of Warcraft, Valorant. She loves GTA and RDD. Her perfect night is just sitting in her room, smoking a joint, playing on her XBOX. (XBOX is superior idc)

She did get the Sims, making a sim of you and then a sim of her. She made you two have a dog (she didn't even know if you liked dogs). And she makes them woohoo. Alot.

Definitely plays with mods and cc. She has wicked whims and basemental. Loves looking at your Sims tits and making them get high together.

And the drawings I've mentioned before? Half of them, you're half or fully naked. She loves to sketch your boobs, your curves. Makes her mouth water. She has no shame, she masturbates to them when she's done.

Her major is defined the arts. She loves to paint and draw and sculpt. She may not seem like it, but she's such an artistic person. Sometimes you'll see her walking around with clay or paint on her hands. It's honestly adorable :(( Thinks of your body as a work of art fs.

Def shops at Spencer's and Hot Topic. She's so fucking emo and cringe. Reddit user vibes.

Gelly instead of saying we were wrong, quit acting ashamed about losing a friend because you drew them FETISH art, which is not a good idea to draw IF YOU ARE A MINOR. You and your friend should have understood drawing fetish stuff underage is WRONG. We are here to help you, and saying we say bullshit now? Ok how are we assholes by saying 'we feel bad for her being tricked into drawing fetish art' ??? Tell me that. Also READ THE INFO ON LUPISS!!! IT'S ACTUAL PROOF ON HIM!

deja vu with RDD and Talltherify 😳

I think my favorite character prompt is where a group of characters are gonna do something insanely dangerous and could likely to kill them and one character volunteers the dumbest/most unwilling person to do it like??

Muse A: Muse B will do it. Muse B: I will?!

I miss you 😿💕

[subtextread]

Okay here are my issues with it. Apologies for any lack of cohesion, I am bone-tired and sleep-deprived.

- First of all, keep in mind that this special was recorded over the course of three and a half hours.

- The first segment was strong. I thought the musical analysis of DCM was interesting and useful and each member was able to speak at length about something.

- When they are actually getting into the flow of a conversation, production cuts them off. This is kept in for some reason for viewers to see.

- The subsequent half (~15 minutes) is dominated by Kibum. The interviewer is not specifically speaking to him, but he is the one to take charge, as the member most comfortable with speaking/variety/etc. Even in closing, when all the members are asked to sum up their feelings, Onew is asked to start but because he is uncertain, Kibum volunteers instead. This is both at the end of this segment, but also at the end of the day/interview. If, by this point, the members - who have all been working professionals for over a decade - are not comfortable, not in a rapport, not conversational, that is in issue with the journalism and the atmosphere created in that environment. It might be that they are tired, but the questions posed to them are not necessarily stimulating. In this three! hour long interview, a LOT of the onus is being put on the interviewees and that is not their jobs.

- I saw people praise the sincerity/seriousness/artist-orientation of this interview, and I would like to challenge that or hear more. What did this tell us about their artistry, specifically? What did this allow for or access that we do not get from other interviews that are shorter and/or less labor-intensive? Notably, for me, is that we largely got Kibum’s perspective on very specific aspects of their work (overarching direction and visuals), because he is the member who feels most comfortable speaking, which is again an issue with the direction and journalism.

- The segment is interspersed with talking heads of each of the members individually. The question posed to each member was what their fear was. Fundamentally, I find this a really absurd angle to take on a special segment about a band’s comeback, and frankly, I think it’s inappropriate. That, on top of, however, a rather quiet group interview, just made for a really confusing tone. This is further an issue for me because they had already begun speaking to the challenges they were encountering, organically, when they were abruptly cut off.

This is framed as an in-depth look at SHINee, and it’s really not. There have been far more in-depth interviews (Stacy Nam’s, for example). In fact, while the interviewers are both fans of SHINee, they seem ill-prepared. For example, the question that spurs the half of the interview of I mentioned Kibum dominates, the interviewer brings up the album art for Sherlock and the album art for MTTM and then asks:

And after this the band members look at each other for a beat, before Kibum goes into the art direction, subcultures SHINee is inspired by, etc - but I think that is Kibum being... very generous. What do Sherlock’s and MTTM’s album art have to do with each other? What do they, specifically, have to do with the larger vision of SHINee’s work? The interviewer posed this as if to highlight that SHINee are at odds with KPop’s target demographic of teenagers and it’s a challenging question because it is phrased poorly and requires a lot of work from Kibum to draw something out of.

The interviewer also says that with Don’t Call Me, SHINee are now entering a space of art - beyond just music and performance, now incorporating fashion and a more comprehensive collaboration of artistic media. And they politely say thank you and then Kibum goes on a bit of a tangent, but SHINee have ALWAYS been mindful of various forms of art in their work. Fashion has always been absolutely critical - look at 1 of 1 and Married to the Music. Look at the music videos for The Story of Light. RDD, Lucifer had fashion far ahead of its time. Even aside from costuming and fashion, their use of visual art in regards to color and photography over the years, has always been extremely well thought out. Look at any of Taemin’s solo work, but even Never Gonna Dance Again specifically. It’s a really unfounded claim to say they have only just now entered that space, and it just comes across as the interviewer attempting to synthesize something in order to get a response with little actual accuracy in terms of the band themselves.

I need a little rest and time to pull together what I think the root of the issue fundamentally is (sorry it’s 5AM here). But at first blush it just seems like little preparation and research and direction went into this behemoth of an interview.

Fostering Safe Spaces for Diverse Groups: Spotlighting the Community Resilience Initiative

Where we learn matters. This is not new to educators, who know that research shows that safe physical meeting places for young people can be critical to enhancing positive youth  development.[1] But what does this mean in fragile or conflict-affected countries?

Safe Spaces Can Help Create Social Cohesion & Community Resilience. Creating and fostering safe physical and online spaces for diverse community members to access services and skills, meet with each other, and share their opinions can be critical for building social cohesion and community resilience. Democracy International’s (DI) Community Resilience Initiative (CRI) project in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), aimed to reduce the victimization of Venezuelan refugees and migrants and enhance direct, positive engagement between T&T nationals and Venezuelans. CRI’s locally led approach to create such spaces worked, drawing on USAID’s People to People programming approaches. In T&T, civil society organizations (CSOs) Drama Making a Difference Company (DMAD), Families in Action (FIA), Living Water Community (LWC), and Ryu Dan Dojo Empowerment Foundation (RDD) were already at work and establishing safe spaces for their communities to engage in positive social interactions and cohesion building. Together, DI and its local partner CSOs had a chance to leverage existing structures and systems as part of CRI to create targeted, meaningful change by establishing community resource centers in six target locations accessible to Venezuelan refugees and migrants and T&T nationals. During the program, the centers served as community safe spaces. More importantly, after the program has ended, they still operate as safe spaces, bringing cross-community resources to young people, refugees, and T&T nationals.

Safe Spaces Require Community Trust. Establishing safe spaces requires building trusting relationships between the center (and those who work in it) and the community from the outset. CRI local partner organizations already operated these centers, making it a more effective path to build on the established community trust and offer inclusive services to Venezuelan and T&T community members. The centers provide spaces for Venezuelans and T&T nationals to access information such as fact sheets and cards (see below); cross-community engagement flyers; information on accessing counseling, psychosocial, and hotline services; referral information; activity brochures; and more. Published in both English and Spanish, all resources were developed to be accessible to all community members.

Safe Spaces Change, Including During a Pandemic. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, CRI quickly responded and created a virtual CRI resource center to ensure critical information usually found at physical community resource centers still reached vulnerable communities. Virtually, the resource centers promoted social cohesion through cultural exchanges by bringing migrant and host communities together, particularly youth, for positive interaction while also building cross-cultural appreciation, understanding, and social skills. Even during the pandemic, CRI leaders fostered psychosocial skills and resilience, achieved through one-on-one family counseling, a 24/7 bilingual crisis hotline, women’s and LGBTQI+ support groups, a mental health psychosocial support awareness campaign, psychosocial first aid training, mental health and psychosocial support training for frontline workers in emergency settings, supporting survivors of gender-based violence, and a women’s leadership and psychosocial support skills training. CRI leaders also provided language skills for Trinidadians and Venezuelans to have meaningful interactions, achieved by English as a Second Language classes, Spanish as a Second Language classes, and conversational Spanish and English classes for children and adults. Finally, the program leveraged blended approaches to promote learning, resilience, and social cohesion, achieved by focusing on youth and offering programs such as the Amala Program, which offered diploma courses in arts and cultural expression, social entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership for Venezuelan and T&T youth; the “Dream to Succeed” Youth Leadership program; Living in Trinidad & Tobago virtual academies, which offered Venezuelan migrant adults the opportunity to learn about and adjust to life in T&T; Support, Educate, and Empower Women program, where participants gained sewing and business administration skills; and RDD’s Sports + Program.

Our unique approach to create/foster safe spaces is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, in the example of CRI, an adaptive approach that centers on the needs of the community and recognizes that the most influential change can come from within the community itself. Approaching the creation of safe spaces from this perspective allows for more long-term sustainability and success, as well as long-term community trust.

DI’s work to support communities to address and overcome drivers of conflict and protect vulnerable populations reinforces USAID’s own studies and resources. USAID’s Youth Center Toolkit, created by USAID’s YouthPower2 team, is a new toolkit that provides such key resources and examples of constructive youth safe spaces, and these concepts are grounded in academic  research.[2] But in short: where we learn matters.

June 6th-June 12th, 2020 Creator Babble Archive

The archive for the Creator Babble chat that occurred from June 6th, 2020 to June 12th, 2020.  The chat focused on the following question:

How do you personally decide to kill-off a character, and how do you handle it?

chalcara [Nyx+Nyssa]

I never kill a char for shock or to motivate other characters (hate, hate, HATE those tropes); but if that character's decisions result in their death, so be it. But I always double check if decisions with huge results like death make sense for that character, to avoid the "ideot ball" problem.

Mind you, I only have three character's whose death would break the story, all others are fair game.

Miranda

I have yet to kill a character. But I do have a death planned...and right now the reasoning is to show how far a character has come from being a self-preservationist ass. If I maintain that route it won’t be done lightly and the person who does it will feel the weight of their decision.

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

Any deaths in my current work happened before the story started, and... that changed nothing. They’re still characters in the story I don’t know if I could actually KILL-kill a character without knowing that their death is an important stepping-stone to the plot’s conclusion. But even then, the character can feel more like a device than a person. Maybe for a future work, I can do it... but... for this one... I’m actually banking on things worse than death

copperine (Lady Changeling)

I have a main character death planned. It's not quite the same as most deaths but explaining further would be spoilers.

That is... not a helpful contribution, but oh well.

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

It's such a battle of 'do or do not' at times with these things! You want that death to make an impact for the story, however it may lend to the narrative, and that makes planning just when and where so difficult!. When we first started writing GJS, we had SO MANY planned deaths! That was the first draft, which when we read it later as we approached those parts, made us realise that these character kill offs didnt really affect the story in a way readers would care for. (in fact, it was a chapter before that we decided to save an important one!) We later calmed down our edgy-ness, and had any such sort of death fit more cohesive with the tone of the story-- and I think that is a big part!

mariah (rainy day dreams)

I've had kind of a similar character death journey with my story. There were a lot more for more shallow reasons when I was starting out. I think that probably is also a symptom of writting most of those deaths as an edgy teenager :p But over time I've cut a lot of them or rewritten them, in the case of backstory deaths, so that they're more nuanced. Even the like three I have planned to happen as plot points may end up being changed by the time I get to actually scripting it. Honestly, if I was writing a new story I'm not sure how I would approach having death involved or if I would. Death is a really defining experience. For the backstory deaths in RDD they're included because they define some aspect of the characters they effect. Sometimes it's movtivation (though not the I Must Avenge! kind) and sometimes it's just how they view the world. I think that's the way I would continue to use death as a device, though there are all kinds of other experiences that can create the same outcome. Death isn't always the most interesting device to use for creating depth or raising the stakes.

carcarchu

In PP the eliminations are kind of the equivalent of dying. Most of them don't have a lot of emotional weight but i'm really dreading having to eliminate the more important supporting characters later. i feel like the author of Princess when she wrote in her author's notes that she couldn't stop crying when she had to kill off her main character and had to draw through the tears, that's me but like 100 chapters from now

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

I wholeheartedly agree, Mariah. I think as we grow, we find out ways to problem solve without being so absolute about our decisions in a sense

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

I have killed off characters in my story; heck, their deaths are part of of the whole problem! I chose to kill them off because they’re not just one off characters; their deaths have a major impact on my protagonist’s character development. If they have to die, then they shouldn’t be dismissed at all. Rather, it has long lasting effects of trauma and that’s something the protagonist has to move on from.

carcarchu

Oh and also in my second story which i have not drawn yet the main character dies in the first chapter but she comes back to life after winning a bet with a demon and that whole thing is an extremely important plot point that ties the entire series together

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Like @LadyLazuli (Phantomarine), most of my character deaths happened before the story even begun. Most of them were incredibly important to one character or more. Although... Since the story of Whispers of the Past is told largely through flashback, it feels like these deaths just happened. And when I wrote the prequel stories to my comic, I battled myself over a certain death that I didn't want to happen. I realized very quickly that I don't make the rules.

eliushi [a winged tale]

My kill test is: if the character dies, what sorts of impact would it have on other characters? The narrative? Readers? Could it be misinterpreted as a message I wouldn’t want to send as an author? And what happens if the character survives? I do have planned character deaths as I don’t want my characters to have plot armour. I approach this by designing the deaths/narrative and events leading up to it important and impactful. Hopefully I’ll stick the landing.

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

(omg Kill Test Eli)

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

That’s a really good test to use, Eli. It’s good to understand what a character’s impact is on the whole story if they die. Deaths are pretty traumatic, so it would also work to see how other characters react to it.

mariah (rainy day dreams)

The "what happens if the character survives" is the big one I always consider it's the one that has saved a lot of characters because the answer has been more interesting for me to write than the death was XD(edited)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

That's fascinating to think about... Holy hell, if one particular character didn't die, it would be an entirely different story!

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Sometimes the survival of a character has even more impact than the death. Unless they come back as a ghost, which in this case, they can still actively influence the story as opposed to being inactive

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

generally when i'm writing character arcs, i start from the end and work backwards. so if at some point in an arc i get to something like "this character needs to experience death for their growth" i'll put a character earlier in their story to get killed off. or if the character arc ended with the character's death, i'll make sure to build up to it throughout. i guess my style of writing is kinda different to some others'? in the sense that i don't go "ok here are my OCs, let's see what happens to them" - rather, i go "here's what happened to my OCs, let's see how they got there". though, that does kinda result in me tipping my hand a bit, lol. like if a character gets killed by one of the protagonists, i'll generally make the killed character a big jerk. if the character is killed by an antagonist to spur on the protagonists, i'll generally make the killed character really likeable.

eliushi [a winged tale]

I also consider when you want to kill a character during an arc. An incomplete arc is more heartbreaking than one that is complete before the end

That’s totally fair snuffysam. It’s all about the perspective

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

ohh that is an interesting way to write Snuffy-- that would definitely produce interesting results and a cool way to tackle character development

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

It is a good way of thinking and also introduces a lot of possibilities. Because what if the character killed by the protagonists had legitimate grief/beef? Or that the story hints at their backstory a bit more and show them to be more human? It can set up some good questions about the moral grey area.

I like to believe that each character thinks they are their own protagonist of the story....whether it be heroic, anti heroic, villainous or in between.

eliushi [a winged tale]

Sometimes the survival of a character has even more impact than the death. Unless they come back as a ghost, which in this case, they can still actively influence the story as opposed to being inactive

It’s also interesting to think about death as a concept. If your story deals with an after death story vs death as an absolute vs reincarnation one

Death itself can mean different things to individual characters

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Death of a friend, death of a loved one....death of a personality.

Or even growing up can be seen as one, since it’s death of your childhood.

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

Because what if the character killed by the protagonists had legitimate grief/beef? Or that the story hints at their backstory a bit more and show them to be more human? It can set up some good questions about the moral grey area.

Yeah, exactly. Like, I have a character who is currently stricken with guilt over a guy he killed. And, like, the killed guy in question was a huge jerk as mentioned, but, like... he had a family. So it's a lot of figuring out what one could do to make up for that sort of thing.

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Exactly. Even if they were portrayed as jerks (or actually are jerks, like in the case of your story)...they're still people and have their own stories to tell, too.

Imagine the stories you lose out when you completely demonize or put someone on a pedestal.....not seeing them as human at all.

eliushi [a winged tale]

I definitely prefer round rather than flat characters and even if it’s one who’s only seen once in the story, I like to add some contrasting characteristics to hint at their “person” even though their roles are small. It’s the little things that will be most impactful especially when they die

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

especially when they die oh my god Eli your bloodthirst is showing

eliushi [a winged tale]

I there’s a place for characters who are designed to pass for the sake of the story’s theme/character impact/setting danger

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

hmmm there is. And the trope is called Stuffed in the Fridge, when that character is specifically slated to die for the sake of story progression, like you said.(edited)

eliushi [a winged tale]

Stuffed into the Fridge: A character is killed off in a particularly gruesome manner and left to be found just to offend or insult someone, or to cause someone serious anguish.

I think there’s a fine line between the intentions for sure

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Absolutely. Depending on how you write it, you can pull if off very, very well.

Oh! I think I meant to say the lost lenore

Usually people who have died and who end up driving the characters' motivations, my bad

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

yeah there are times that killing off a character for another character's progression can be done well like the first 15 minutes of Up are considered some of the best scenes in pixar history and that's totally lost lenore

chalcara [Nyx+Nyssa]

It all depends if the character actually was a character with their own hopes or dreams or just a thing to be smashed to make someone sad.

Did the character who died have agency? Did they have their own hopes and dreams?

Thing is, I personally only care for character‘s death if I also cared about their lifes.

It‘s hard to explain, but so many lifes only seem to matter in stories because they matter for someone more valuable; and there‘s a definite pattern which character gets to be valuable on their own and which one is only cared about because it impacts someone deemed more worthy.

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

Gurren Lagann is still my benchmark for a meaningful, impactful, heart-wrenching character death - one that propels the story forward (eventually) but also brings it to a screeching halt long enough to really delve into the emotions behind it. It's a death that doesn't feel necessary at first, but you look back and see the doors it opened to deeper conflicts.

Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho

Ohhh, character death!! I'm gonna second a lot of opinions here about death having to be relevant and affecting other characters; and I sure wanna bring the point home that even in war, violence has meaning and life and death have meaning too. Deaths of characters happen mostly for plot reasons: they happen so I can show things (about them or about the others around them). I like to think in terms of what characters represent and the way a character dies says a lot about what you personally think about the things they represent. So I have characters that from moment one I could say "Oh no this guy's gotta die and he's gonna have to die a LOT". Also gonna go there and say that yeah sure I am guilty of the killing for motivating other characters, but also to put the plot in motion. Others, I hope, also tell us something about the characters involved in their deaths...(edited)

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

(YESS CLAIRE!!! I always say the Kamina Death when we talk about that possibility in stories XD it was such a good impact)

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

I know people bring it up SO MUCH (along with one in Madoka... which was equally shocking!) but there's a reason they do!

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

hhh yesssss Madoka too!

Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho

those deaths are brought up for very good reasons, they are huge marking points in both narratives

chalcara [Nyx+Nyssa]

Madoka and the deaths in it always felt shallow to me. I facepalmed and went „of course“ on the first one. I knew it would happen from the moment the happy music started.

eliushi [a winged tale]

Deaths are just another plot device. Just have to make them count... or not... depending on what you want to do as the author! Imagine all the control... But to make a death impactful, that’s a harder question. For your wips, I’m curious what are your go to tips? Great points about agency, multifaceted, relationships with other characters.

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

.........Write them as a character first before their relationships with others. Or if you do write their relationships first...brainstorm why they interact with others the way they do. Did something in their life influence it?

And...never stop asking questions about your characters. Fire away them yourself or have a friend ask you constantly. Thinking fast sometimes helps you get an eureka! moment about your characters and reach a deep part you might not have realized it at first.

Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho

I started the story knowing I was gonna have to kill a character in the next one or two chapters and I wanted it to matter; if I had started the story killing him right away, it would look too much like a cheap, shock-value death, and its impact on the other characters could possibly look like an overreaction. So I had to make sure that character would have a lot of interactions with others that would show at least the points of his personality that I cared for the most.(edited)

It felt like running against the clock and everytime he was on the spotlight I was just "oh no I gotta make this count, I gotta make him matter" and I hope I could make it look like he mattered to the people around him(edited)

eliushi [a winged tale]

I really like that shizamura! Making the scene and character portrayal count as we slowly move towards their demise

I’m also curious when people realize a death flag for a character. I try not to hint at the death until it happens but I’m sure there are some things that clue the readers in

Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho

I tried using red flags by making other characters sound like they'd be the ones to die to draw attention from my target, tho I don't know to which extent that work

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

I don't think anyone actually disagrees with me, but just bringing up a counter-point: character death does not have to be surprising to be impactful!

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

agreed!

DanitheCarutor

Depends on the story, I have a couple where characters die. One is a fantasy/sci-fi/war story where death just happens, it has a mix of the overall horror of war and the desensitization to it all, but there is also a scene where it has personal significance in a good and bad way. (Super vague, I know.) I also have a cosmic horror/fantasy comic where characters die, but they don't officially go until their souls are gone, so "death" doesn't have much importance but the devourment of souls and fading away of old souls has a sobering importance, with the former having an almost taboo feeling. I will admit to really enjoying low-blow gallows humor, as a mean joke I was actually considering making a fake ending in my current comic where an important character dies, making the other have to reflect on everything alone, and it would have dropped the story into full blown Tragedy territory. Doing this solely to see how my readers would react, but that would be too mean, and I don't have the energy or time for something like that. Although in all seriousness, as desensitized as I am to death and gore, I personally try to handle death as respectfully as possible. It's a big deal, and I don't like the use of it as a cheap story device.

Deo101 [Millennium]

Death... Hm. I have very few stories in which I actually kill off Characters. For me, personally, the Characters kind of live in my head, and if I know I am going to kill them they are sort of "branded" in a sense in a way that taints them for me even while I'm working with them when they're alive. It's hard to explain, but I look at those Characters differently and it's always in the context of making the death as powerful as I can, rather than the kinds of things I enjoy working on more. So, I very rarely decide to kill Characters. I can find more uses for them when they're alive! The only time I will do it is if it's a short story, and the death is an intrinsic part of the tale, or in longer stories if it is something to establish stakes (if I want the stakes to be death, sometimes I don't!) Other than that, I really try to write around deaths, cause sometimes Character deaths feel like "and now we don't have to deal with writing them anymore!" Rather than being something very potent. I've not yet had a character die outside of story outlines and plans. So I'm not sure I can say how I approach it, yet.

Tantz Aerine (Without Moonlight)

Every character that dies in my stories hurts. Some more than others for sure, but they all hurt me I don't know if it makes sense but I try to save them. It's just that their personalities and choices tie my hands. If I can save them in a way that would be plausible for the story setting, I do. I like happy endings. Usually, the deaths in my stories leave gaping holes. In the style of 'things would have gone much better if so-and-so hadn't died.' And if I kill, I kill permanently. No fake outs.

Nutty (Court of Roses)

I rarely think about character deaths very often, myself. I know, weird, right, considering I have a murder mystery in my own comic? However, the victim, Count Bailey, was a death I was ready for and planned very carefully around. In the brief time we saw him alive, he was likeable and fair, to get readers wanting justice for his murder. He was also passionate in his beliefs, and this last bit allowed me to hit the ground running with possible motivations for the killer(s?). As time goes on, I also plan to reveal more about him as well. So, even though he's dead, he's still very much an active character. Retroactive? But, yeah, I suppose that's a bit of a different take from others, considering the genre. In general, I'm not a fan of killing off characters, unless it drives the story, and I would be hard-pressed to do it especially to a character my readers have bonded with. That feels cruel to me, and I wouldn't want to do that to other people.

I want to make clear that I'm definitely not judging others for doing that! It's just not the kind of writing I could do myself.

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

Yeah that's exactly my thinking too. Like sometimes a character (or multiple) needs to die to move the story forward, but I can't imagine writing something Game of Thrones-like where every week you tune in to see who's gonna die. Like, I just can't imagine writing character arcs in that sort of environment, unless I was writing some experimental story about characters dealing with their own mortality in different ways. Like a more philosophical Final Destination. Not to knock anyone who does, but I just can't write like that.

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

This might be splitting hairs or something, but I feel like while I am not at all against "character deaths," I don't like to "kill off characters." Probably an approach/mindset difference (and different approaches are all valid!) rather than a difference in the results.

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

It's kinda the same for me. Because I don't really "kill off characters," they just... die, and I'm basically just a witness.

sierrabravo (Hans Vogel is Dead)

I killed my protagonist in the first chapter

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Well, I mean, with a title like Hans Vogel is Dead...

sierrabravo (Hans Vogel is Dead)

but also there's a difference between killing a character and necessarily removing them from the narrative altogether: I used to be SUPER into killing ALL THE CHARACTERS!11! when I was younger and have since moved away from it (a lot in part because of how turned off I was from GoT) and have been trying other ways of getting rid of characters

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Honestly, why can't more characters leave because they left on a journey or something?

sierrabravo (Hans Vogel is Dead)

yeah!

or like, opened a bookstore or something

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Yeah!

sierrabravo (Hans Vogel is Dead)

or if they're bad there's a lot worse things (dramatic music)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

ooof

I mean

I don't know if I'd like to see anything too gruesome, even for villains

(Doesn't help that my villain is my favorite)

sierrabravo (Hans Vogel is Dead)

oh no, I'm a baby lmao I can't do gore and that kinda stuff :''"D

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

I mean, or mental torture

nah thanks

I'd rather just let 'em die at that rate

sierrabravo (Hans Vogel is Dead)

I'm a big fan of The Good Place theory of letting them punish themselves

there's a lot of options out there for sure

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

^^^

eliushi [a winged tale]

I’d like to think a character killed on screen give some sort of impact and meaning to other characters and the readers, that can’t be achieved in other ways (leaving for a journey, survived but different, losing memory etc).

sierrabravo (Hans Vogel is Dead)

that's definitely true! it depends on what you want the reader to get out of the character being taken out of the narrative

sssfrs (JOE IS DEAD)

I haven't committed to killing off any characters yet and I'm not sure how I'm going to go about it when I do. Only one character has really died so far (Joe) and that was just the premise for the whole thing so it wasn't a difficult decision. I don't know whether I'm going to kill other characters at this point

chalcara [Nyx+Nyssa]

If I need to get rid of a character, my favourite way is to give them exactly what they want. Since I write adventure stories, that usually leads to their retirement - or with them having to deal with the consequences of the fullfillment, which means they are interesting to write and read about again.

AntiBunny

It really varies depending on what the story calls for, and the character arc. In the case of Nailbat http://nailbat.AntiBunny.net/ the main character's death was already a foregone conclusion from the very beginning. It was the premise of the entire story. Everything built up to that moment.

A character just died in http://AntiBunny.net/ as well. In this case it was more to make a statement. There wasn't a place for this villain's story to go other than prison or death, and I chose to kill him off because he lived inflicting violence on others, and his last moment is one of shock that he'd meet his end at that very same violence. It's a human moment for an otherwise monstrous character as he reaches out, perhaps asking for help, but it's too late.

Erin Ptah (BICP | Leif & Thorn)

My comics don't kill a lot of characters mid-story, but now that I'm thinking about it...there's a whole pattern of "characters whose arcs include managing the fallout of pre-canon deaths."

Erin Ptah (BICP | Leif & Thorn)

Leif & Thorn stars a team of knights that was twice as big before a flubbed dragonslaying mission, so I had to come up with a pack of character designs that I only ever draw when the main cast are reminiscing. https://leifandthorn.com/comic/watching-over-me-629/

eliushi [a winged tale]

Pre-canon deaths I’m also interested in yours or anyone’s approaches to deaths that happen before the story started. What made you decide that? How do you keep the readers interested and care for those who’ve already passed on?

DaeofthePast

i imagine there'd be some flashbacks? :0

Erin Ptah (BICP | Leif & Thorn)

Well, in this case, the readers don't really need to care for the passed-on knights...the important part is you can tell the survivors cared about them. And the survivors are the main cast. So if they're sad about something, you care based on your attachment to them, not based on having a personal attachment to the ex-knights.

🌈ERROR404 🌈

I think that it really depends on the genre for sure. The generic death of the father in a tragic accident can turn into an action protagonist's reason to start their adventure, and never appear again and still work for the genre/ Meanwhile, for something that's noir or mystery styled, the death of the father before the story starts affect very specifically the characters more than the audience. It's important to understand the genre when working with death post mortem

Erin Ptah (BICP | Leif & Thorn)

Occasionally there's a flashback that brings someone out in more detail, but it's for the sake of "let's explore a specific way that character's death is affecting one of the survivors."

boogeymadam

catching up to this for the first time and there's a lot of great advice in here "KILL TEST" ASDFG but like its so wise so i can't make too much fun of it :')

Erin Ptah (BICP | Leif & Thorn)

The reason I decided to have so many of them was that Thorn is "the only survivor of meeting the dragon face-to-face", and I want readers to appreciate how big a deal that was! A looming pile of non-survivors makes the point pretty well.

boogeymadam

something already mentioned way up there earlier: killing characters to motivate others has been treated kinda taboo lately (and i imagine a lot of pre-canon deaths fall into that category,??) but its a perfectly valid thing to do as long as the characters would be multidimensional regardless of the death. i think. it can definitely depend on the voice the story is trying to have~ Or a readers Knowing The Stakes type death like Erin just mentioned those are fun!

Erin Ptah (BICP | Leif & Thorn)

Honestly, I don't think pre-canon deaths work the same way there. The worst part is when a new character gets introduced and you start to get invested in them, to care about their feelings and think about where their storyline is going, and then it turns out they were just a plot device whose only purpose was to get killed off.

If the character's already gone by the time the story starts, there's none of that bait-and-switch feeling.

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

I think one of the big issues with "killing characters to motivate others" was sexism; like, far too often it's female characters being killed to motivate the male lead. It's extra questionable when the female character is supposedly equally (or even more so) good at surviving/ fighting as the dude.

But like any trope, it's not inherently bad; there's just been Weird trends with people using them thoughtlessly.

Erin Ptah (BICP | Leif & Thorn)

Oh, definitely. If part of the reason you're excited about the new character is "finally, another woman in this dude-heavy series"! (or "finally, a same-sex couple!" or "finally, a black person at all!"...) then it hits doubly hard.

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

Yeeeeeah...

Erin Ptah (BICP | Leif & Thorn)

Because it's not just "the writer(s) got me invested in this female character and suddenly they offed her", it's also "the writer(s) gave the impression that they were going to include and develop more characters from this underrepresented group, and suddenly it turns out, nope, they didn't care about that at all."

And honestly, that's super easy to offset, if you just put in more variety of characters from the beginning.

DaeofthePast

^^^ I get flashbacks to basically every zombie apocalypse story I've watched.

eliushi [a winged tale]

The bait and switch feeling can be tricky to navigate for sure. I find that act 2 deaths can sometimes feel that way. Act 1 deaths tend to motivate the protagonists/be the inciting incident and act 3 deaths kind of form the finale.

chalcara [Nyx+Nyssa]

Nyx+Nyssa deals with the pre-story death of Nyssa's mother, but her actions and decisions she made before she dies reverbrate through the whole story. She's more a post-mortem character than offed-and-gone. Dead ten years and STILL causing trouble.

... Another reason I don't like death-to-motivate-main-character thing is that it can so, so easily feel cheap and generic, too. "Yay. Another dead romantic interest/younger sibling" way - as if the writer couldn't think of something more interesting or more fitting to the story/setting.

It's like... So many stories use it as the character-motivation equivalent of the "As you know, Bob..." style exposition.

Can it be used well? Yup! Everything can! But it so, so, so often isn't.

AntiBunny

In the case of Pre-canon deaths I do have the mother of the 4 Rabbintlov sisters. In this case while one male character has been chasing revenge all these years, it's more been about how these 4 sisters interact and grow up, without her. The youngest never knowing her mother, the middle two being most traumatized and it becoming a source of strife, while the oldest is wracked with the responsibility of having to be both sister and mother to her younger siblings.

I think deaths that happen before the story tend to be less about the character who died, and how the characters in the story deal with loss, and have to go on without them.

copperine (Lady Changeling)

(I am lurking here because any comments about character death in my own comic are spoilers and I don't have any to mention in the ones I read yet)

DaeofthePast

I haven’t killed anyone off (yet) but I do plan to. This specific character was created for a purpose and once that purpose is done, then I’ll probably kill them off. Unless I think of something else they can do, otherwise there’s no point in keeping them.

Idk how much I want to say without spoiling, uh, I tend to think of character by what role/job I’m having them do in the story. Like, “I need a character can teach the protagonist this life lesson” and then if there’s no existing character that can fill that role, then I create a new character.

So this character that’s going to die has a very important role in the beginning to get the ball rolling. I could possibly keep them, but I’ll be introducing some other characters later on and I might have too many characters to juggle and keep track of by that point So that’s my decision making process for killing them off.

DanitheCarutor

Pre-canon deaths I’m also interested in yours or anyone’s approaches to deaths that happen before the story started. What made you decide that? How do you keep the readers interested and care for those who’ve already passed on?

FFFF I didn't even think about this! I actually have a pre-canon death, from a reader perspective it's supposed to be seen as a third party learning about the death of someone's relative, you see how it affects the characters and memories of them tend to be more romanticized. In all honesty I don't really care if readers are interested in or care about him? I just want them to know he existed at one point, and he that he played a large roll in the MCs lives, holding much greater importance to Julian than Apollo. A lot of brainstorming went into his removal from the main plot, if he stayed my comic wouldn't even be a thing. I considered at one point just having him disappear, but that would honestly be too cruel for the characters, (like when a loved one disappears, leaving the family wondering what happened or if they're still alive. Not having that closure can be devastating for many people.), and the main story is already bleak enough. Lol Presentation wise, I use flashbacks and character discussion, although not a whole lot. Just enough to get an idea of what he meant to them, and what his role was. I want to leave it vague for the audience to speculate. The most recurring approach is the use of photos, or a single photo specifically, since it's the only tangible proof of his existence.

Moral_Gutpunch

I cheated at first. The one who died is a ghost, but talking about him turns into talking about others who died, be they legendary, a death that has political effect or personal effect

Feather J. Fern

I always plan deaths of characters, anyone can die. The favourite, the villian, the best friend, the main character, someone's coffee, anything is free game for my writing.

Is it a casket? A couch? 🤔🤔🤔

Hdhfjfbh in the drawing of kibum? In the ref pic i used (its in the photobook for rdd) it looks like it was a piece of audio equipment? Like either a speaker or a case of some sort. But the image was rather dark and i couldnt make it out very well. so i changed the colour and assumed it was a speaker tilted on its side judging by its shape.

Recounting RedDragonDraws (My Personal Experience + Evidence)

Hello there! U mightve seen my name pop up on this blog b4! My name is Ringo, n I have spoken thru the ask feature on this blog b4.

I have delt w/ a lot of awful thingz from RedDragonDraws, n as he and his friends have continued 2 harass me n my friends n say many gross things about us. Before I start, I’d like 2 thank this blog.

Ur posts n archives of RDD’s actions has helped me show proof n help the mutuals of mine n server members who were gaslit, lied 2, n frightened in2 not speaking up against RDD’s actions towards me n others. I cannot thank you enough. And w/ this, I have decided 2 contribute 2 this blog myself.

RDD + CO’s hatred started when they claimed I “defended” Zinzo’s actions between hyr n another person on discord. However, I never did. What I actually did wuz call them out on the fact they were all callin Zinzo, a minor, sexually degrading terms (ie: whore, slut, hoe, etc), callin Zinzo a rapist when what they did- although wrong- Wuz nowhere close 2 rape, n i said comparin Zinzo 2 their groomer wuz disgustin. Im currently gonna work on gettin a better set of screenshots of this situation.

Attached in the Google drive r many screenshots of evidence against RDD n his friends: - William - Lily/Noah - Galaxy - Mittenpea (B4 I link the drive, I apologize that sum scs r censored, sum r not. I didn’t have time 2 censor all of these so I apologize 4 inconsistencies) Contained in the drive: - Two screenshots of a whiteboard by Zinzo that RDD + Co vandalized - Screenshots involving me being misgendered and sexualized by Mittenpea, one of RDD’s friends, only 2 have his other friends also misgender me, insult me, and side w/ the transphobic remarks. - RDD’s racism towards Vietnamese ppl - Lily/Noah’s DeviantArt post lyin about me + my debunkin of said post - Screenshots of when RDD went 2 my deviantart after I blocked him on discord, all 2 basically beg 4 pity on one of my own vent artworks. (I will also link+archive the DeviantArt posts where this occurred in the description) he even favorited my pieces, which really freaked me out - Them supporting someone saying I have the rights of “a toaster” bc I am nonbinary, along w/ deadnamin me - Mittenpea and Galaxy making fun of a girl speaking about her experience of being sexually assaulted, with Galaxy saying she needs to, and I quote, “Get over it.” - Mittenpea sending a very transphobic meme to a server, making fun of the usual transphobe talking point of the suicide rate amongst trans youth (despite transphobes like Mittenpea being the reason that the trans youth suicide rate is so high). - An image submitted by my friend Mikan, who wuz briefly kinda-sorta datin RDD. RDD would make many gross sexual remarks about her, because according to him, in a past life, she wuz a “Vietnamese sex worker” who he apparently “hooked up w/ in [his] past life”. Mikan herself is actually Vietnamese. I shouldn’t rly have 2 even further elaborate on how disgustin this behavior is.

RDD also sent her drawings he made of Vietnamese ppl burning in bushes…knownin that she is Vietnamese.

Him Commenting + Seeking Pity ON MY VENT ART

Archive: https://archive.ph/HrD9I

RDD also drew something, mocking the fact I have struggled w/ alcohol addiction, callin me n my friend (4 some reason???) a “ragin drunkard” I am much better now and I rly don’t drink often, however after the misgenderin incident I ended up drinking a little in order 2 avoid hurtin myself in any other way bc I felt cornered n hurt n so many other thingz all at once. When I did drink i wuznt even angry or in a rage, it mellowed me out so i rly dont know why he keeps callin me “raging drunkard”.

It’s esp disgustin bc RDD is aware that I have PTSD n struggle w/ a lot of other mental illnesses. Seein as hes so obsessed w/ Vietnam n seems 2 have a weird obsession w/ PTSD, u think he’d understand how common it is 4 ppl w/ PTSD 2 form addictions??? Esp at a young age.

Thread Where I Discussed His Drawin Mockin Me

Sorry if this post seems very scatterbrained, I have rly bad ADHD n sumtimes its rly hard 4 me 2 sit down n write a bunch of stuff out like this, esp somethin I’ve had 2 explain 2 ppl several times in my personal life. I hope this can provide more insight on2 his current actions n the situationz involving me. If any further contact is needed, since I dont have a tumblr, u can reach me on my twt n da, which r both shown in the links I sent. Thx 4 ur time, ~ Ringo

Mod note: just one correction, the one image where it’s a red bg saying “Charlie” over and over is regarding his Walten Files AU and not actual racism. one more thing, please do NOT witch hunt the discord users!
