What is a Character Arc? 3 Types with Examples from Fiction

A character arc is one of the key factors that contribute to a fascinating story. It refers to a character’s change or inner journey as they progress through the story. Whether a character is a protagonist, antagonist, or supporting character, how they evolve (or do not change) throughout a story is critical to keeping the audience engaged. In this post, we will go deeply into the concept of a character arc, investigate the three primary types of character arcs, and examine examples from popular fiction to better understand how they operate.

What is a Character Arc?

A character arc is a journey of transformation that a character goes on as they progress through the events of the novel. This transformation can be emotional, moral, psychological, or social, but it always involves a transition from one condition to another. A character arc is important in most stories since it serves to develop the characters and makes the story more accessible and compelling.

Imagine a character arc as a road trip. The character begins at one spot, experiences problems along the road, learns lessons, and, by the end of the story, has arrived at a new emotional or mental state. Sometimes the change is drastic, and other times it is subtle. Regardless, the character arc is crucial to the character’s growth and frequently reflects the story’s theme....Continue reading

(mgv) pre-rut wilson sometimes getting a little bitchier and/or sinking to house's level (or lower. the fuckin weirdo /affectionate) but also if anyone tries to also mess with house, even in a joking way, wilson starts rumbling. house delights in those times, flattered by the near possessiveness and pumped to have more material to embarrass wilson with later

It's about like.

Willow fought to be seen as strong, because she is and for a very long time people not only convinced her that she wasn't, but that a lack of strength correlated to a lack of worth. And because of this past of having to prove herself and rediscover who she is and could be, Willow accidentally internalized the idea that others perception of her as strong is conditional on her always succeeding despite the obstacles, always staying in control and on top of things, always being the shoulder to cry on, etc etc.

And to an extent, she was right! Amity (unintentionally and well meaningly) refused to acknowledge willow's strength, leading to her having to prove herself, Boscha takes great pleasure in pointing out the chinks in willow's armour because Boscha feels better about herself when someone else is beneath her and she most often makes Willow that target. These are examples in which someone (correctly) paints Willow as pretending to be strong, but act like if they peeled back that facade, all you'd be left with is weak, half a witch willow. Whereas Hunter and Gus understand that even if you peel back willow's front of strength to see the more vulnerable side of her, there's still a strong foundation that takes little time in getting back into the swing of things once she's let it all out. Willow can be reliable and have debilitating anxiety. She can be whiney and needy and still be brave and powerful. Reliable people need someone to rely on too.

Willow's arc in labyrinth runners meant a lot to me because being consistently told that you are weak and need the help of people who love you but who struggle to understand you and see past their own need to protect you, by those people hit close to home and was incredibly validating to see. Somebody once compared the writing of those interactions to microaggressions, and intentional or not it resonated with me bc of that I think.

And now willow's arc in FTF completes this in a way that's very viscerally satisfying to me. Because proving your worth to people, no matter how successfully you do so, takes such a toll on your own mental well being and self perception. Bottling up your emotions so you don't drag others down is so difficult. And you deserve to cry like a big fucking baby if you've been doing this. Let it out!

For the future is an episode about being seen and heard, so to have Willow be so thoroughly seen and heard not just by the people who understand her best within the show, but also by the writers and consequently the audience is just.

It's what she deserves. And I love her very much

not that compliments are everything but idk why I constantly feel like this hideous beast when I get compliments on my appearance from strangers daily like I feel like everyone’s conspiring to pull one over on me because I simply don’t believe it internally. which is crazy and annoying and yet

[thatbuddie]

you seriously cannot make this up: you have people reblogging fic featuring a racist character as half of the main ship in the morning then trying to give morality lessons in the evening by calling others homophobic over a joke.

THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE, BABES.

Heard we’re doing hermitcitizens? Have a this guy! Nobody told them the flash was on

I figured an allay fairy godmothering itself into a guy was the kind of fun magical nonsense explanation Hermitcraft tends to go for! They won’t deliver things for you but they DO love cookies (thanks for the excuse to post sona, @ink-ghoul!)

Brain I just…I need you to give me a break. Or let me sleep at least.

Hopefully making this post will help.

One of my autism benefits is that I don't get social embarrassment from Public Autism Events because I simply cannot notice other people looking at me. I sat on the floor in stores until my 20s (still do actually), I rock in place, my partner will be like "I don't like going out because people there stare at me/us judgmentally because looking goth isn't common there, didn't you see that family giving us dirty looks...?" No. No I didn't. I am focused on my task (waiting in line, shopping, doing laundry) someone could be staring daggers at me and I will not notice. <3

I’ve been unfollowing any pages who published “dying for our freedom” posts about the US Veterans Day in the same way I do if pages post jingoistic crap on Armistice Day in November.

I wear a white poppy for Armistice Day every year for the victims of Imperialism and for working to end wars of Imperialism. I’ll probably pair it with a Palestine pin this year 🍉

It is genuinely important to fight the cultural drive to enforce the acceptance of imperialism. It’s not about ”respect”; it’s about normalising something that is not acceptable. It’s about drawing a veil of acceptability over young people being forced, whether legally or economically, to go and risk their lives in a country that isn’t theirs to kill kids who belong there.

What is Flash Fiction? And How to Write It

What is Flash Fiction?

Flash fiction is an extremely short story, usually under 1,000 words, that tells a complete plot with characters, conflict, and resolution. Unlike longer stories, flash fiction emphasizes brevity and making every word count. To make a lasting impression, writers must instantly capture the reader’s attention and frequently use powerful emotions or a twist ending. Flash fiction is popular because of its short, engaging nature, making it an excellent choice for readers seeking a quick, exciting story.

Flash fiction is a type of fiction that is extremely brief. Unlike novels or even short tales, flash fiction requires clarity, with no place for fluff or needless details. Writers must convey plot, character development, and emotional depth in a short amount of space.

Flash fiction is often defined as stories with fewer than 1,000 words. The word count can occasionally drop below 500 or even 100 words. Despite its briefness, it can nonetheless carry a powerful punch, frequently leaving the reader with a lasting impression.

Flash Fiction vs Short Stories

Flash fiction and short tales are both brief genres of narrative, but they differ in length and emphasis. Flash fiction is often between 100 and 1,000 words long, offering a comprehensive tale in a short span. It relies on powerful images and brief, memorable moments....Continue reading

thinking about my graphic novel series again. i have way too many thoughts about it

[sharingresourcesforpalestine]

you know, I feel like, as little money as I have, I still haven’t put into perspective how much I have that could still be of use. I’m not so poor that I can’t make a difference. I can still buy a meal if I go out. I can buy a trinket. I’m not so poor or struggling with life that I don’t have food in my stomach and a place to sleep. Donating like I have this week has me wanting to do something that I hope many others are already doing. For every cent I would have spent for myself, on groceries, deliveries, gifts, etcetera (beyond the strikes where I am not spending money on anything but Palestinian causes) I will donate equal or greater that amount to Palestine. Because if I have money for me, I should have money for others. This is not me setting myself on fire to keep others warm, I know I would be of no use long term if I destroyed myself by going entirely broke with no way to survive myself. This is considering things beyond medical bills and life expenses that I need to keep going. When I count groceries, it’s things like when I use Instacart bc I can’t go out, because even though I don’t have a means of transportation, delivery is a luxury and if I can afford to pay for that, I can afford to donate. If I buy something non-essential like some snacks or the like, I have to match it with a donation. Because if I can afford to buy that, I can afford to donate. And just due to the nature of being a reminder, every time I get my period I’m going to donate to sanitary products for Palestine, because while pads are an essential product, donating even a little bit towards helping others get even the opportunity to get the same access as I do is an important reminder. There’s $5 donations available for those, and that’s about the cost of an average subscription I would be able to afford— it won’t buy a whole kit, but it will still put money towards that goal. I may not be able to do all the good the world needs, but the world needs all the good that I can do. As much as I can spare, I will donate. I only wish I could do more.

When you make sure to always pay attention when people are talking to you, and you listen very carefully and react to what they’re saying, and then when you are talking to them you cut yourself off to see if they’re paying attention and they don’t even notice because they weren’t listening to you in the first place, is that an infp thing or
