#weird quirks

[deathinfeathers]

//I will always have a lot of respect for people who write their own original characters. It is an uphill battle in a lot of cases. Wether or not your character will get traction is largely based in who you interact with/the graphics you use/pure luck (none of which should be a factor but that is the way of the tumbls I'm afraid). I've had Ocs who crashed and burned within a couple of months and others who were cornerstones of massive verses for years and years. My only advice is to keep being creative and keep putting your characters out there. You'll find your audience if you are willing to put in the work.

A "fun" thing that happens with me is that sometimes instead of having language NOT GO, it sort of gets small blocks on some words, many of them common words, so I end up sounding like something out of a historic novel employing my full huge vacubularly ro express simple concepts. Because I cannot use ghe quick words. And while this happens, i lose focus EASILY on what i;m doing or saying, so I end up talking and talking and talking - or writing and writing and writing - and people always find it far, far too much.

It stands in ironic contrast to the times i cannot write or speak at all.

Hmm, thanks for offering that character template thing, but I actually don't need all of that extra stuff. I just wanted to associate flowers for those few important qualities rather than everything else, it's basically a description of the character in a nutshell.

Follow up to this ask:

Hi there,

thanks for getting back to us, alright then, just wanted to make sure it wasn't missed. The following plants could fit your character.

aconite (Crhistmas) - wit

ash tree - greatness, grandeur

bladder nut tree - frivolous amusement, frivolity, amusement

camellia (red) - unpretending excellence

clematis - mental beauty, artifice

fool’s parsley - silliness

goat’s rue - reason

hawkweed - quick-sightedness

kennedia - intellectual beauty

love is a mist - perplexity

mignonette - moral and intellectual beauty, your qualities surpass your loveliness/charms, “without pretension to beauty possesses qualities which command profound respect and affection”

plum (wild) - independence

ragged-robin - wit, dandy

sumach  (venice) - intellectual excellence, splendor

walnut - intellect, stratagem

This is mostly focused on his intellect because there just isn’t a somehow established floral equivalent of someone who’s Like That and we don’t want to stereotype either. Oblivious isn’t represented either, and the closest thing to weird the Victorian flower language has to offer is silly.

So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.

Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have evident correlation to either nervousness or worry to most people. One that can even be interpreted as misplaced given the situation.

Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:

What if this isn't the only emotion Dazai displays weirdly?

What if he has multiple unconventional patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?

And Chuuya is the only one who is familiar with them all?

Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"

Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."

Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"

It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.

Because Chuuya never shamed him for his quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.

Shang Qinghua, holding a present: Happy Birthday my king!

Mobei-Jun: ...what?

Shang Qinghua: Oh, once a year humans celebrate our birthdays with gifts, so I got you something!

Mobei-Jun: No I got that, I just don't know how you know it's my birthday, I don't even know when I was born

Shang Qinghua, sweating profusely: I guessed

Laois from Dungeon Meshi legit feels like someone said the generic blond main character guy in a fantasy story can never actually be an interesting character in his own right and Ryoko Kui went, “Oh, bet?”

Fourteen is up on all of the town gossip, but somehow completely oblivious to all of the gossip surrounding him. They’ll spend hours talking with the woman at the coffee shop about someone’s upcoming wedding or the hideously green new car someone got with suspicious money, but when asked why the chickens in his yard never seem to be touched by anything, he completely misses the weird looks he gets when they explain the chickens have force fields. And so do the moles.
