The temptation to make a huge meta post about Caspar is insane… like I was trying to write a fanfic from his pov and I felt like I was making him too analytical (cause I’m too analytical and I project onto characters I write) so I did a little character study… and then did further character studies… and I was like… wait… why is Caspar so fucking interesting????  Like I already liked him…he’s half of my favorite ship for a reason…but like…holy shit…the development put into his character is insane…. 

Like how he’s not that close to his family but feels personal guilt over his father’s actions… or how incredibly observant he is…or how he cannot pick up on people’s emotions at all…but he’ll notice subtle changes in behavior…which makes his intuition sharp as hell…or how he acts impulsively based on what he believes to be right in the moment without considering consequences…but will reflect on consequences after the fact and take other’s advice into account when he recognizes he needs to change something…

Or how I am super certain he’s not into girls just from the lack of awareness of multiple girl’s romantic feelings towards him…and the fact that the two biggest female charmers (Hilda and Dorothea) don’t even try to charm him because they know it won’t work… or how two separate guys will travel with him to the ends of the earth post-game…

Like I’ve seen so many people call Caspar stupid…like SO many…I even thought of him as “simple”…but like…being impulsive and having straightforward values…isn’t stupidity????  They’re character traits???  I am the dumb one for thinking less of him!!!  Caspar is a fascinating character!!!  What the heck!!!

It's been over a year since my DnD group started our Zelda campaign, and I wanted to celebrate by updating all the art for the player characters (and one NPC who we dragged along for the ride). Our DM has created an entire universe worth of unique lore that draws on so many of the Zelda titles, It's been so much fun and I can't wait to see where the story goes next!

Glen Powell is not working his ass off to bring romantic tension and visible yearning back to movies only for his kissing scenes to be left on the cutting room floor!

i love when people draw all the mxtx protagonists together but i’ll be real the generic anime boy face curse is alive and well

more often than not the art itself is fantastic it just takes me like a solid minute to figure out who’s who. bonus points if lbh is robbed of his wavy hair and the only way i can tell him apart from wwx is his forehead

I want to learn how to improve ocs. Are there any tips, advices or tutorials you can give to your loyal fans like me? Have a great day

i've still got a lot of learning when it comes to improving ocs myself!

my best advice is try and pull character references from multiple sources, it helps fill out the character if you can pull ideals/traits/backstory elements/design details/etc and use them to fill the holes in your character.

and also just. love them. love them like you do your favorite character. love them in their story and love them in their mundane life. think about the little things that arent important or relevant to the world/story or even really to them like; do they have a messy or clean room? how would they do in a high school biology class? would they enjoy camping or would they be miserable out in the woods?

ask questions that would never really need an answer and just use that build a foundation for them.

you can apply this to both character writing and art by the way! because these details you think of shine through even if its just them .. standing there?

tumblr, want to be the first to know something?

I have a new YA fantasy book coming out in the next few years, and it contains my favorite three characters. I cannot wait for you all to meet Fabian (insufferable), Credence (perfect), and Euphemia (uncouth).

And then I get tired and then I get cranky and wonder where did all of that come from and then I remember why I stopped reading as much as I used to

I've found that fma blogs tend to fall into three categories: obsessed with the elrics + winry, obsessed with royai + the musgang, and obsessed with greed and/or ling

[sir-adamus]

i feel like if you think the way a character in their primary media is "constantly out of character", the problem isn't the writing and it's your perception of the character that's the problem

MUSIC TAG GAME

Thanks to @gyokujyn and @mandyyvibes for the tag! Sorry it took me a while to get to it but I'm truly living for these games, they're so fun :)

The rules are shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and list the first 10 songs that play, then tag 10 people. But since most of my spotify on repeat playlist is just songs that loop endlessly while I sleep or random shit I listened to twice two years ago (all that money going into algorithms and this is what we get), I'm gonna go the same route as @gyokujyn and post a shuffled song each from my most recently listened to playlists.

Okay, this gave me whiplash but definitely not as much as it could've? And it didn't earn the "do you think a depressed person could make this?" meme, which is something. I'm improving!

*claps hands together* Open no-pressure invite to @booksandabeer, @vostok3-ka, @village-skeptic, @buckrogers, @dharmasharks (for some reason it won't let me tag more than five people? anybody know the fix for tags that just show up as plain text?)

not trying to start an argument or anything but I saw someone at some point referring to charles (by association jayden revri) as white-passing and ??? that caught me off guard like i absolutely do not think he is. and i was surprised to hear that take, especially as an ethnically ambiguous mixed guy myself. genuinely just odd to me
