I bequeath the with a writing tip!
Characters are made to resemble people. So it would be fair to say characters also have mental health issues. If you can’t handle a situation mentally then they won’t be able to either. You can tone down the effects but still make sure you can see them! If they fight a lot give them insomnia or make them extremely jumpy! If people die around them a lot give them nightmares or separation issues! This can also go the opposite way. If you characters in a good situation don’t make them completely miserable.
Tip over!
So guess who just learned that when you have a sore throat, it’s not a good idea to drink extremely acidic liquids. Guess who also learned that orange juice is especially acidic.
My throat hurts really badly now :(
Writing Tip for ya guys!
World building can be hard task, considering how there’s so much to take care of. For the more ambitious types you may consider even creating creatures. Creating animals is a difficult task as they have to seem somewhat realistic. What I recommend is taking a pre-existing animal and changing its habitat and diet.
Here, let’s change a tiger! We can change the tigers environment to a mountainous one, and we can make it an omnivore! First let’s change its size, let’s make them a little smaller then a coyote. Let’s make them thinner as well, shrinking their head and legs to be more agile. We can make their coat slicker and fur shorter. We can exchange the proud oranges and whites to more dusty browns similar to that of dirt or bark. We can make they’re teeth smaller and more dull, as well as make their ears bigger and slightly more pointed. And we’re done! We’ve changed a proud and huge predator of the forest to a small and sly omnivore of the mountains. Of course it doesn’t have to be extremely realistic but unless your creature uses a magic of some sort I would recommend not doing extremely unrealistic things.
Tip over! (This was a long one.)
Fun fact!
If someone asks you “How many bodies do you think you could bury there?” you should not start counting.
You also shouldn’t follow up by giving an exact number.
If you, somehow, were able to do both of those, you shouldn’t end with “Of course, you’d be able to fit more if you dismembered them, tell-tale heart style.”
So this is how I’m like when I’m drunk
Damn me for my hubris. For I have seen the depths of humanity and let sinners drag me down. Now, I cower in fear at my fellow man, for enticing me with such sweet words only to make me stare at the horror which is uncontrollable lust. Curiosity and anticipation are my chains and I am full of regret.

Tip for writing!
Descriptions! They don’t have to be so adjective heavy all the time! Sometimes it’s better to leave it to the imagination of the readers. (This works especially well when it’s in first person, though it can also be a tool to describe the characters feelings.)
Example: It has so horribly grotesque but to her, it was somehow beautiful. The way everything was put together so carefully and so precisely that no matter how inhuman it may have been, it was still, in a sense, beautiful.

I remember hearing the phrase “You went to the store for butter and apples, yet you came back with potatoes and cream but I can’t hear you complaining.” and honestly I feel that describes my experience with Tumblr.
I came on here for socializing and maybe some memes but I came out with more fears and cat pics.
Writing tip time!
Characters are a complex thing in general, but character relationships are even more complex. Just remember that characters don’t always have to share interests or goals to be compatible. Humans are complex and while characters aren’t as complex they’re still a reflection their fleshy creators.
Thank you all forms of media for making it so I’m always hungry for straight custard. By custard I mean the type you put in pastries and other confections. The type that is generally considered to be a base and not something you should eat by itself.
It hurts me seeing my favorite characters and/or actors making what look to be delicious and not being able to make it my self.
So I was going through my google docs on my writing account. I found this gem:
GE: JUST TRY AND CATCH ME BASTARD. GI: YOU BETTER RUN YOU WHORE! *GE is caught by GI* GE: OH woe is me~ spare the young one! Be merciful upon me! GI: LIKE FUCK I WILL BITCH! *GI bites GE and is released upon* GE: YOU FOOL! YOU BUFFOON! YOU TRIED TO CATCH A GOD! GE: WELL FUCK YOU TOO! K: What the fuck are they doing over there
I can’t find any context for this
Happy day when the Declaration of Independence was declared but not the actual day when it was signed even though that’s what the holiday was celebrating when it was created 94 years after the event.
The history of Independence Day is weird man.
Who else has an odd fear of their legs popping like Barbie doll legs? No blood, no gore, just a little non and socket. You can pop the legs back on but just the thought.
As time goes on things become more sexual or less sexual. Behold:
Grandma, talking about my flip flops: Were you comfortable walking in your thongs all day?
Me, who knows the modern use: GRANDMA NO-
I am so fucking tired but I don’t feel tired I just feel like a fucking duck and I don’t know what that means I just feel like a duck, I really don’t understand what duck feels like other than this is it, I am a duck right now
You know what everyone who asked me the question “What do you wanna be when you grow up?” I take back my answer.
My answer is no longer “I wanna be happy” or “I wanna be okay”
I want to be the person that you wanna scream when you see me but just silently smile of pure and unparalleled fear.
I had a fist fight with an ostrich. It did not go well. I ended up in the hospital with one arm missing, and my brother walked into my hospital room, slapped me in the face, and gave me an ostrich egg with a bow tied around it.
I wanted to scream “NERD” and “HORNY” and ended up mixing the two. I present you the result:

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!
And to all a good night.
Got another writing tip for whoever wants it!
Before finishing up dialogue try reading what you have out loud. Does it feel natural? Would you say this in front of someone else? If no to both it’s a good idea to re-do the dialogue.
Writing tip done.
Here’s a tip for those who are new to writing characters!
Characters who actually feel real are hard to weight without experience! Try writing characters based on the people around you first. It’s easier to write about someone you’ve talked to before!
Writing tip over.
Anybody else think rocks just look... tasty?
