reading through old rps while the prazosin does its best and—
"It was the first time I'd seen you really smile, and I knew I couldn't let that disappear."
—is going to make me fucking explode actually. what the fuck do you mean someone's real smile meant so much to you that you had to draw it to preserve it. that's such a raw form of love. oh my god. I'M gonna cry over that what the fuck.

I’m always a sucker for characters who will flip off their own team and side with someone else on an issue when they feel their team is genuinely in the wrong.
Not even necessarily in some grandiose “realizing they’re on the wrong side entirely and switching over to the other team” way. Bluntly disagreeing with them over mundane shit wholly outside of whatever reason they’re allied in the first place is fantastic, too. Like, “What? You think I’m obligated to back you up when you shout at the waitress like a Karen just because I am on the same sportsball team as you? No sir lol you are being a penis. Shut up. I am so sorry ma’am.”
Just Because I Am Allied With You On One Front, Or Even If I Actually Consider You My Friend, Does Not Mean I Will Blindly Agree With You On Everything Ever All The Time. If I Catch You Being An Asswipe I WILL Object And Stop You. Etc.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.
Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

Ice king is a really good character because they intoduce him and you're like "haha what a freak what's wrong with him" and then the show goes "oh! You want to know? Let me show you :)" and you end up just sitting there like

Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:
In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.
A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.
In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.

The thing I would be most heartbroken to lose if tumblr were the close are gifsets. Nothing recommends a show to me better than a gifset. Nothing lets me appreciate a show like a gifset. The minute facial expressions, the colouring, the set design, the dialogue, the gif maker's own twists and artistic additions, I love it all so much and you just can't get it anywhere else.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.
to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:
kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him
