big fan of when a character is dead and the narrative frames them in a very angelic, soft, gentle manner but then it turns out not only are they still alive (plot twist) but theyre alive in the most gruesome and horrific way. your loving kind mentor who motivates you to fight in their memory came back wrong and theres blood and dirt under their fingernails from clawing they way out of the grave.

one of my favorite things to do in limited perspective is write sentences about the things someone doesn't do. he doesn't open his eyes. he doesn't reach out. i LOVE sentences like that. if it's describing the narrator, it's a reflection of their desires, something they're holding themselves back from. there's a tension between urge and action. it makes you ask why they wanted or felt compelled to do that, and also why they ultimately didn't. and if it's describing someone else, it tells you about the narrator's expectations. how they perceive that other person or their relationship. what they thought the other person was going to do, or thought the other person should have done, but failed to. negative action sentences are everything.

affirmations for oc artists:

* im allowed to change my ocs design

* nobody will kill me if i change my ocs design

* compliments are not threats

* just because somebody said they like my ocs design that does not mean they will hunt me down and kill me if i change my ocs design

* my ocs are mine and i can design them how i want

* im very brave and i can change my ocs design if i want to

much appreciation for people who create ocs that are clearly derivative of The Character because even if the inspiration is clear, they had the self awareness that their headcanons had snowballed so far past character analysis into pure self indulgence that there was very little of source material left. and that’s beautiful. sometimes when you’re preoccupied playing touys it’s hard to take a step back and realize you’ve actually created something wonderful and new

[sabertoothwalrus]

which is another reason why “this reminds me of The Character!” comments can be annoying because!! ok yes maybe there’s a connection, but appreciate what makes the oc unique!! don’t flatten the creator’s achievement to break away and explore on their own!!

You know what I fucking eat up every time? The thing where one character is an optimist and the other is a pessimist, and something happens that just, snuffs the hope right out of the optimist, and the pessimist has to desperately try to do what the other has always done for them, cheer them up. I live for that shit omg.

Profiles V - Medea

The first medium to rise to prominence, Medea Astor paved the way for those in the field, taking over the Society's new research department (later the separate Society of Visionaries) two years after its founding.

She was well-known as an associate of Felix Albrecht, and it goes without saying that the two families remain close.

Origins of her parentage are murky, if only because her mother died young and her father could scarcely bear the loss, but the Astor estate was rebuilt and renovated the year she inherited it, and remains standing to this day.

“how do you get people online to care about your ocs” you have to be soooooooo annoying like really annoying

in love with characters whose past selves are dead. love it when this is actually true (the ghost of who they used to be haunts them and everyone else) and when it isn't (refusing to face the truth that you haven't changed at all). either way peak trope

[cyeayt]

Shout out to Characters who are shells of their former selves! You died and you’re not coming back! You don’t recognize yourself and neither does anyone else, and it’s anyone’s guess what the fuck you’re supposed to be now!

[redstonedust]

love characters who are like "this is how the world works. this is how it has to be (because if i'm wrong i have to face what i've done // if i'm wrong i have to face whats been done to me) "

Profiles III - Nina (II)

The doctor's assistant, Nina Macken, is not quite what you'd expect. Rough around the edges and decidedly not from the village, she's altogether a little odd. She's as likely to hand out sweets to the children as she is to ignore you entirely in favour of some other aspect of her job, should you not be the doctor's main concern.

She doesn't talk about her background, though many know her as the girl from the next village, the orphan, but she has a love of high places and precarious positions. She sits hanging half out of the window every now and then, jotting things down or simply observing the people on the streets below.

She's good at what she does, of course. Steady fingers, a no-nonsense attitude and an ability to turn the doctor's sour remarks into something kinder, less abrasive. Loves him like family, when all's said and done. She makes no secret of the fact.

Age: Seventeen, give or take.

Profiles IV - The Doctor (Addendum)

Not many realise that Dr Meyer has ties to the Society.

He was the Lady's first assistant on record, and after his resignation from the organisation simply disappeared from high society as a whole. He was never going to truly fit in, of course, but he'd managed it for a good few years.

Society records are patchy after this. It's evident the Lady funded his education, and he seems to have attended university alongside her own son, who (to his mother's chagrin) opted to study literature rather than medicine.

He became unreachable after he left London.

Profiles IV - The Lady (Addendum)

Now this was certainly a surprise.

Lady Amber ought not to display such wanton weakness. A woman of her calibre, and a man as bitter and repressed as him? Someone is bound to come to harm.

Pride makes monsters of men, but what does it make of monsters?

The doctor knows how to play her hand. Her little tricks no longer work. How does it feel to be so powerless?

It is safe to assume that, when the Society begins to crack and fracture at the seams, she will be among the first to fall.
