#weird quirks

[deathinfeathers-a]

//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.

“People sometimes misinterpret who I am as a character and I don’t like that.”

“I get it, I can be bratty and a diva sometimes, but there’s actually a lot hiding under the surface.”

“I’m protective, hard-working, dedicated, creative, musically gifted, I would absolutely walk through a hurricane for my sisters. The boys too!”

“Lately, I dunno, I’ve been feeling this weird protective big sister instinct over Alvin when he chooses to take his ADHD meds and turns into Albert-Vincent. He’s so strange and more…innocent? I don’t know how to explain it, really.”

“BUT IF ANYONE MAKES THAT BOY HAVE A ROUGH DAY, I WILL PERSONALLY PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE AND REMIND THEM TO SHUUUUT UP!”

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.

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

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.

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?”

8th annual nick valentine post! fallout 4 npcs Love sitting. they'll see a chair and ask "is anyone gonna sit here" and not wait for an answer. its like nick is on a personal quest to sit in every chair in the commonwealth. if he sees a chair its on sight

its because his joints are bad, obviously. he's like 140

melinoe hades 2 is such a good protagonist. like the writing is so.... they're not afraid to show her as both a really single-minded, callous, somewhat black and white morality person, as well as showing how she can be kind, or uncertain of herself under the pressure she's under, or a bit silly at times. she's so endearing, and you can FEEL that she's going to have such a neat arc whenever all the set up with the olympians and mortal stuff pays off

the fact that you have to have these arguments with prometheus, where she's just willfully denying that he has a point bc her entire identity is based around never questioning her mission... i love her so much, in conclusion i'm this cat
