Fun fact: I’m autistic I’m gonna do a thing inspired by another person

I feel like your Leo would like Radiohead, thoughts?
Absolutely I feel like his favorites would be Creep, Exit music for a film, and No surprises
Radiohead is probably on his sad playlist for when he needs some music to commiserate with him
Here's a quick illustration of how he feels listening to radiohead bc idk if I can describe that very well with words
I put on a black velvet dress with a suit jacket at home purely for this post and I know the majority is so right here. Šaty ze sametu z nejtemnější noci for the win
"šaty" jako slovo nadřazené, synonymní k oblečení obecně
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.
Here's the deal, I did a dtiys for @mircsy a while ago but I tagged it wrong and even after reblogging it with the right tag it still didn't show up so I'm just posting this again

What is it, that you heart doeth truly desire? Is it a crusade, power, fortune, or mayhaps an escapade?
How would you describe an ideal form of said desire? Would it be, quirky, delicate, frightful or maybe even infuriating?
And who would you take on the quest to achieve said desire? Would it be a friend, a foe, a stranger or even an arch-nemesis?
I have thought of those questions for as long as I can recall, and I have found the answer true to my heart.
I wish for an escapade, but not an ordinary one, no no. A truly unique, bizarre even, escapade. Along I would take a member of a family originating from England, eventually residing mostly in the United States.
Some may describe it as a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
@lobrac I see you
Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up
They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together
I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles
