Ideas of fatal character flaws? :3
Hi :)
Fatal character flaws
Aristotle calls this ‘Hamartia’ - a tragic flaw or error. It can be anything happening to good or bad characters, even otherwise good character traits and with good intentions that ultimately lead to the character’s demise. They are often traits that don’t neccessarily lead to someone’s downfall, but can if they’re done to an extreme. So think of these otherwise normal ‘flaws’ as extremes.
ignorance - not seeking helpful knowledge
selfishness - not thinking about others
curiosity - getting involved in things they shouldn’t get involved in
impetuousness - being too passionate/ not thinking before acting
pride - not giving in/ not taking help from others 
hubris - exaggerated opinion of oneself/ thinking nothing can get to them
lack of self-control - can’t help/stop themself
indecisiveness* - not being able to make decisions
confirmation bias - only taking in information that supports one’s own belief 
arrogance -  thinking they are superior
Have fun!
- Jana
*Interesting example: Chidi from The Good Place. A morally great character who is so extreme in always trying to make the right choice and therefore not being able to make a decision until it is proven to be right, it basically lands him in hell.

Hello!
Welcome to my first retrospective post. This one should be fun, huh? We're going to go through the first chapter of my very first fan-fiction. Not word for word, mind you, but as commentary. I'll provide the link if you're interested in reading the chapter itself, but otherwise I'll be talking about where I was at as a creator when I wrote it.
Think of this as the special features! Ever wonder what the heck that creator was thinking when they made that dumb decision? Well now's your chance to find out! Or something like that.
Tumblr media
Storytelling in general was a new concept for me.
Something I've only recently opened up about publicly is that growing up, I struggled with reading books. I'd reread the same paragraph over and over again, never really absorbing anything I actually read. I could do some audio-books occasionally—which helped immensely when it came to schooling—but proper grammar, pacing, actual writing, I hadn't a clue. Turns out it was due to a fun load of disassociation. Well, I mean as much fun as swallowing a tortilla chip the wrong way at a party, which really isn't much fun at all.
This is all to say, I went into writing this story not knowing how to write a story. And you might be asking yourself, then why, oh why, did I write this story? The answer to that is because I wanted to. Go swallow a tortilla chip!
All I really knew was that I loved Kingdom Hearts and it brought me a lot of comfort when I wasn't feeling great. Those were roughly my words when my husband asked me what I wanted to write about and it's still true to this day. He also asked me what I would want to add to the story, because while I could simply novelize the games, that's already been done. What did I want to add?
That's when Hinata was born.
And I mean born. She was genuinely, just barely made up when I started True Friends. I believe I decided her name as I was in the process of writing. No pre-planning, no outline, just opened the laptop and typed away. For better or worse.
Seeing the person she is now compared to how she started is mind boggling to me. She isn't the same girl Riku pulled out of the water.
Tumblr media
I kid, I kid. This was the humble beginning. I can still feel my giddy excitement when I reread this chapter.
I also like to refer to this chapter as, Not Interesting At All Really
There was so much I wanted to get to, so many rampant ideas that I needed to thread together without the slightest idea of how I'd do it. My first goal was, let's make sure everyone knows the characters. Mention Riku's yearning for the outside world, Kairi being from another world, and Sora's general, Sora-ness. It was quick, vague, and all a bit awkward, especially since a majority of my readers would be Kingdom Hearts fans in the first place. They didn't need those needless explanations!
Reading it now, you can still feel that awkward tension. The feeling of, I just need to get this out of the way and get to the good stuff.
One detail I tried to get into on Destiny Islands was diving into Kairi's emotions about her fall and loss of memories. It's never really explored in the games, spare for Memory of Melodies, I suppose, and it was something I wanted to try and explore more.
While I do think it's an interesting concept, if I ever try and rewrite this story, I don't think this thread will carry over. It doesn't really go anywhere in the end, and I feel like it drives Kairi to act out of character in True Friends. It may be something that does eat at her, but it's not something she would act out about. She's content with her life on Destiny Islands.
Overall, it's not a horrible start! It's something that still makes me smile when I read it. A lot of heart and love went into it. And I still have to give myself a small pat on the back that Hinata did show up rather quickly. Something happened right off the bat and the story didn't drag its feet.
In the first chapter anyway... Later on. That's a different story.

I'm being a nerd and made a side blog just for posting Hinata's story and art. So if you wanna reread it on tumblr or just go over there just cause, here's your chance lol! <3
Hello!
Thank you so much for visiting my page.
This is going to be my personal page for my OC Kingdom Hearts Fanfiction! As I get more info organized, I'll try to update my Carrd with links to character bios and such. It's mostly for me to keep things all in one place, but also for anyone that's interested.
For now, I'm going to get started on scheduling posts of Hinata's chapters to go up twice a week, starting from True Friends, going all the way to where we are currently in The Forgotten Traveler. If you would like to be here for the whole journey, then welcome!
Any art for Hinata and co will also be shared and posted here, too :)
Have a wonderful day! <3

I absolutely loved working on this piece! It was outside my usual style for Fanzines, but there was something cathartic about it too. Deep diving Luxu's mind, especially during the time of Dark Road. Here is a transcription of the excerpt, along with a teensy bit extra that didn't fit in the picture:
------------------------
'Luxu remained perfectly still while the whistling wind billowed the bottom of his coat. His gaze went from one gravestone to the next, reading the freshly etched names—Hermod, Urd, Vor... Bragi. He paused at the final name and for the first time since arriving he let out a noise—a single, breathless scoff that was lost in the wailing of the storm.
With a single motion, he pushed back his hood. Rain darkened his auburn hair, sticking it to his cheeks. He leaned his head up towards the clouds, welcoming the storm and closing his eyes. Another life, there and gone again. 
“There…” he said softly. “One last time.” '     
------------------------
Preorders for this amazing Dark Road Zine end December 1st! Make sure to check it all out. So many incredible creators helped make this possible.

Calling all Luxu lovers! You're in for a special treat with @hinataoc 's fic!

Adventure Awaits...
Another environmental piece done and dusted! I wanted to focus on my OC Sam and her pet Gwythaint (dragon from Black Cauldron), Avan overlooking their upcoming adventure.

Prompt #1023
"Why do people keep saying I'm doing well considering the circumstances? I'm feeling awful!"
"Since the circumstances were you almost dying, I would say you are doing quite well being able to whine to me about it."
