Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:
1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.
2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.
3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.
4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.
5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.
6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.
7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.
8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.
9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.
10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.
These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.
had a dream that I met a wizard and we fell in love and became unhealthily attached to each other so we decided to meld into one single creature together but the process was horrifically slow and painful and most of the dream was us lying in bed holding hands while lesions opened up in our skin and seeped out blue and green fluid and the wizard said "this is going to take a very very long time" and I said "that's ok"
I love this fanfic so much that I made some drawings about my favorite scene from the first chapter, interpreting the scene my way
I recommend it!
The name of the fanfic is:
the heroine is annoying, but she dies spectacularly at the end
ao3: author-siqwithaQ
Sorry for my english, I used Google translator.

Enserio amé este fanfic, esta en inglés pero su trama es muy interesante, hice unos dibujos de la escena que más me emociono del primer capítulo. Lo recomiendo totalmente! No está completo pero vale la pena esperar cada capítulo ^•^
'Gojo Satoru,' Yaga intones, but the teen doesn’t rip his eyes from Geto and Yuuji. 'Welcome to Jujutsu High. These are two of your classmates, Geto Suguru and Igarashi Yuuji. We’re still waiting on—'
'You expect me to call them classmates?' Gojo interrupts, voice dripping with— not venom. Yuuji is immune to venom. This is something worse and far more corrosive. 'They’re both more curse than human.'
Yuuji bites his tongue. He knows he just has to take this kind of thing as it comes, but then, Gojo is also talking about—
'Pardon me?' Geto says. He squares his shoulders and takes a step that puts his body half in front of Yuuji’s, and Yuuji takes a second to clock that the gesture is protective. Geto Suguru is trying to protect Yuuji from Gojo Satoru. That’s a strange thought if there ever was one. 'I think you’ll find we’re sorcerers, just like you.' "
Fanart for the crazy good fic "the heroine is annoying, but she dies spectacularly at the end" by @hockeyisforthegays! This fic has been living rent free in my head for the past three weeks. Iif you're a fan of JJK, time travel, shenanigans, and wonderfully subtle yet deep character analysis, PLEASE go read it! Seriously! I'll probably draw more stuff for it as the brainworms continue, so you'll get some added context, and again, the story is REALLY good!
AU Where Jet doesn't find out that Iroh and Zuko are FN
So uh yeah uh
A lot of people are having a heart attack this day. Zuko because of a scary and an unwise water tribe peasants. Iroh and Jet when they see the candles go WHOSH. Katara when her brother turns out to be pretty flammable and he's about to gain a matching scar. Aang because he's empathetic king. Toph because people are suddenly dying. (Kira's unhealthy laugh thunders somewhere distant.)
If you can't read the handwriting there's ALT under each photo (I hope I did it right)
