no really, don't
great day for annoying people like me!!!!
my favorite song from the album rn is sole starđ„č it's just so beautifully composed and written, a signature "floating through space" kind of onewe music, and i love it!
traffic love, rise again, and indelible definitely rose up to my personal onewe song ranking too LOL. and the first note of coincidence got me instantly sobbing; it's also the kind of song that you would just immediately know that it was composed and written by yonghoon lmao
TyâŠmhyk stageplayâŠ
one of my worst writing sins is abusing my power to create compound words. i cannot write the sentence "The sun shone as bright as honey that afternoon." no. that's boring. "The sun was honey-bright that afternoon" however? yes. that sentence is dope as fuck. i do not care if "honey-bright" is a word in the english dictionary. i do not care if the sentence is grammatically correct. i will not change. i will not correct my erred ways. the laws of the english language are mine.
i've been writing in english for so long but instead of the language fully consuming my insides and acting like a parasitic english-speaking colonizer worm started feeding on my brain, i just ended up fucking my english grammar and conversational skills a lot more often than usual đ
Generals and their little light
I love them very much
I think the resolution is a little bad because of some problem but i love this scene with my whole life
Flawed characters are the ones we root for, cry over, and remember long after the story ends. But creating a character whoâs both imperfect and likable can feel like a tightrope walk.Â
1. Flaws That Stem From Their Strengths
When a characterâs greatest strength is also their Achilles' heel, it creates depth.
Strength: Fiercely loyal.
Flaw: Blind to betrayal or willing to go to dangerous extremes for loved ones.
âSheâd burn the whole world down to save her sisterâeven if it killed her.â
2. Let Their Flaws Cause Problems
Flaws should have consequencesâmessy, believable ones.
Flaw: Impatience.
Result: They rush into action, ruining carefully laid plans.
âI thought I could handle it myself,â he muttered, staring at the smoking wreckage. âGuess not.â
3. Show Self-Awarenessâor Lack Thereof
Characters who know theyâre flawed (but struggle to change) are relatable. Characters who donât realize their flaws can create dramatic tension.
A self-aware flaw: âI know I talk too much. Itâs just⊠silence makes me feel like Iâm disappearing.â A blind spot: âWhat do you mean I always have to be right? Iâm just better at solving problems than most people!â
4. Give Them Redeeming Traits
A mix of good and bad keeps characters balanced.
Flaw: Theyâre manipulative.
Redeeming Trait: They use it to protect vulnerable people.
âYes, I lied to get him to trust me. But he wouldâve died otherwise.â
Readers are more forgiving of flaws when they see the bigger picture.
5. Let Them GrowâBut Slowly
Instant redemption feels cheap. Characters should stumble, fail, and backslide before they change.
Early in the story: âI donât need anyone. Iâve got this.â
Midpoint: âOkay, fine. Maybe I could use some help. But donât get used to it.â
End: âThank you. For everything.â
The gradual arc makes their growth feel earned.
6. Make Them Relatable, Not Perfect
Readers connect with characters who feel humanâmessy emotions, bad decisions, and all.
A bad decision: Skipping their best friendâs wedding because theyâre jealous of their happiness.
A messy emotion: Feeling guilty afterward but doubling down to justify their actions.
A vulnerable moment: Finally apologizing, unsure if theyâll be forgiven.
7. Use Humor as a Balancing Act
Humor softens even the most prickly characters.
Flaw: Cynicism.
Humorous side: Making snarky, self-deprecating remarks that reveal their softer side.
âLove? No thanks. Iâm allergic to heartbreakâand flowers.â
8. Avoid Overdoing the Flaws
Too many flaws can make a character feel unlikable or overburdened.
Instead of: A character whoâs selfish, cruel, cowardly, and rude.
Try: A character whoâs selfish but occasionally shows surprising generosity.
âDonât tell anyone I helped you. I have a reputation to maintain.â
9. Let Them Be Vulnerable
Vulnerability adds layers and makes flaws understandable.
Flaw: Theyâre cold and distant.
Vulnerability: Theyâve been hurt before and are terrified of getting close to anyone again.
âItâs easier this way. If I donât care about you, then you canât leave me.â
10. Make Their Flaws Integral to the Plot
When flaws directly impact the story, they feel purposeful rather than tacked on.
Flaw: Their arrogance alienates the people they need.
Plot Impact: When their plan fails, theyâre left scrambling because no one will help them.
Flawed but lovable characters are the backbone of compelling stories. They remind us that imperfection is humanâand that growth is possible.
sa tur ooo
still one of my top 5 kagehina set moments. Kageyama not quite hesitating but mulling over the idea of trying out their new quick until Hinata quells him with single look and you can see the way his brain quiets and he kind of just sets in a trance, following Hinata's lead. The way Furudate conveys silence and noise here is sooo good, like it's real quiet when we're in Kageyama's internal narration, quieter when they complete the quick and then erupts into sound after
