Me: Omg How Are People Thristing So Much Over The Shooter?? Why Would You Crush On A Killer???

💚💙

I love when platonic love and romantic love is so blurred that it doesn’t even matter anymore. All that matters is the devotion that’s there, the unwavering devotion

I love jumping and clapping the the stands merely as a witness as the rp blogs create immaculate interactions and comedy

*sees the icon of a mutual I literally never talk to* oh look it’s my Friend

How to Write a Character

↠ Start with the basics, because obviously. Name. Age. Gender. Maybe even a birthday if you’re feeling fancy. This is step one because, well, your character needs to exist before they can be interesting. But nobody cares if they’re 27 or 37 unless it actually matters to the story.

↠ Looks aren’t everything… but also, describe them. Yes, we know their soul is more important than their hair color, but readers still need something to visualize. Do they have the kind of face that makes babies cry? Do they always look like they just rolled out of bed? Give us details, not just “tall with brown hair.

↠ Personality isn’t just “kind but tough.” For the love of storytelling, give them more than two adjectives. Are they kind, or do they just pretend to be because they hate confrontation? Are they actually tough, or are they just too emotionally repressed to cry in public? Dig deeper.

↠ Backstory = Trauma (usually). Something shaped them. Maybe it was a messy divorce, maybe they were the middle child and never got enough attention, or maybe they once got humiliated in a spelling bee and never recovered. Whatever it is, make it matter to who they are today.

↠ Give them a goal. Preferably a messy one. If your character’s only motivation is to “be happy” or “do their best,” they’re boring. They need a real goal, one that conflicts with who they are, what they believe in, or what they think they deserve. Bonus points if it wrecks them emotionally.

↠ Make them suffer. Yes, I said it. A smooth, easy journey is not a story. Give them obstacles. Rip things away from them. Make them work for what they want. Nobody wants to read about a character who just gets everything handed to them (unless it’s satire, then carry on).

↠ Relationships = Depth. Nobody exists in a vacuum. Who do they love? Who annoys the hell out of them? Who do they have that messy, can’t-live-with-you-can’t-live-without-you tension with? People shape us. So, shape your character through the people in their life.

↠ Give them a voice that actually sounds like them. If all your characters talk the same, you’ve got a problem. Some people ramble, some overthink, some are blunt to the point of being offensive. Let their voice show who they are. You should be able to tell who’s talking without dialogue tags.

↠ If they don’t grow, what’s the point? People change. They learn things, make mistakes, get their hearts broken, and (hopefully) become a little wiser. If your character starts and ends the story as the same exact person, you just wasted everyone’s time.

↠ Flaws. Give. Them. Flaws. Nobody likes a perfect character. Give them something to struggle with, maybe they’re selfish, maybe they push people away, maybe they’re addicted to the thrill of self-destruction (fun!). Make them real. Make them human.

↠ Relatability is key. Your character doesn’t have to be likable, but they do have to be understandable. Readers need to get them, even if they don’t agree with them. If your character never struggles, never doubts, and never screws up, I have bad news: they’re not a character, they’re a mannequin.

↠ You’re never actually done. Characters evolve, not just in the story, but as you write them. If something feels off, fix it. If they feel flat, dig deeper. Keep refining, rewriting, and letting them surprise you. That’s how you create someone who feels real.

Now go forth and write characters that actually make people feel something. And if you need a reminder, just ask yourself: Would I care if this person existed in real life? If the answer is meh, start over.

:D

this was funnier in my head.

THAT IS IMMACULATE WTF

Scrolling through the Dcst tag and I completely forgot there are anime-only ppl who are reacting to the new episode as the brand new material

Guys you're in for a RIDE rn hope you enjoy it

do you think he saw that plane and thought I’m not the only one it doesn’t all depend on me for the first time since he woke up 😭

I’ve thought a lot about this bc of how much I’ve analyzed the credits, so pls ignore the rant lol.

The straightforward definitions are Casanova meaning a harem man, or a man how loves/charms many women, and Posse as a group of people, typically with a similarity. This means the phrase Casanova posse generally means a group of harem men lol.

This doesn’t immediately make sense in context of the song and the arc, but I think the true meaning was lost in translation(along with much of the English lyrics). I believe the phrase is meant to refer to a group of loving/caring people.

For example, the opening song lyrics talk about changing times, freedom, determination, and creating new things. Then in the end chorus it switches to “Save me” and “I won’t let you down” and “smile and resist”. In general I believe the Casanova posse is supposed to reference the KOS and how they’re loving and caring people despite the odds they face.

(I’m getting a little deep here but bear with me)

Like the battle of Dr stone has gone from Science vs. Might to Science vs. Science. The current difference is the goals of the teams. Zeno wants to rule the masses with an iron will, and doesn’t care much for people outside of his circle. Zeno uses science for personal gain, which is one of the main motivators for invention.

By contrast, the KOS is exactly the opposite. They embody inventing to help others, science for everybody. Senkuu heals Ruri. Forgives Tsukasa, Hyoga, Moz, etc. He cares for everybody, wants to revive all of humanity.

With this in mind, the KOS is a caring group. They may be a bunch of scrappy teens, but they care for people and work together despite the obstacles. So I think the label fits pretty well, disregarding the translation lol.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk🫡

fellow stoners, silly question but what does "Casanova Posse" even mean?
