@jammedmuses said: I feel like Breach would use her portals to prank Rex even after she stops working for Van Kleiss and becomes his friend. I mean what friends don't fuck with one another once in a while right? Rex minding his own business when Breach dumps ice water on him or something through a portal. Sorry Rex she's your friend but she's also a prick

(( LITERALLYYY​ ALKVJLKWDCKDS I WOULD KILL FOR THAT DYNAMIC. it’s so much better than how most of the fandom makes her out to be ths like, woobified forever grateful chick to rex who kisses the ground he walks on and is like that OOH MISTER DARCY energy ... but no. breach has and always will be a gremlin, and i LOVE her for that. i’d love for them to have some prank wars or have some silly fun times together, if you’re down to thread that!! ))

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. 

The sounds of the clock in his room kept him awake, red eyes staring up at a dark ceiling. Little else illuminated the room besides the light from his television, the familiar voices of his favorite soap opera buzzing through the darkness .... and usually the hum of that alone would be enough to soothe Rex to sleep. But he’d be lying if he said he was in any way relaxed; he’s been on edge lately, and his stress hadn’t shown any sign of stopping. Ever since that sleep plague hit the world, and Rex narrowly avoided all human life coming to an abrupt stop, he’s just been ... afraid to sleep.  Not that he ever sleeps much anyways; he’s been trained to sleep as little and light as possible, so it isn’t taking as bad a toll on him as it may anyone else. But .. the signs of its tolls are still there, and he’s growing increasingly sloppy in his work.

Everyone’s noticed, and White Knight has gotten onto him for it more than once -- and while Rex usually finds it in him to care more, right now he simply can’t. How does one just recover from barely saving everyone? Why is WK acting like everything was okay when he was the very same guy who tried to KILL him just days ago? It’s stressing Rex out to the point he’s failing at his job, and ... well, he hasn’t talked to anyone about it yet. He doesn’t want to -- he doesn’t want to be seen as weak, or like a dumb baby, because he isn’t! But he knows he can be looked pretty down upon in  this place. Gloved fingers tap against his chest as he continues to stare blankly at the dimly lit ceiling, and he almost feels like tears are gonna well up in his eyes. In an instant he’s swinging himself up and furiously rubbing at them -- he doesn’t want to cry. He shouldn’t cry, that’s a weakness.  

He knows he really shouldn’t be alone right now, though, else his mental state just get worse .. but he’s never been the best with asking for comfort  when he oh so dearly needs it. Instead, a glance at the clock tells him it’s 4 am; he decides he’ll go to the room of the person he knows would be up at this hour. Carefully and quietly weaving through the dark halls of Providence, he makes his way to Six’s room -- knocking once, twice, and thrice before he takes it upon himself to peek in. There’s Six at his study, doing ... something. Rex doesn’t know what, but he doesn’t care -- he just kinda shuffles into the room uninvited despite the questioning brow sent his way. Taking a seat on Six’s bed, legs bouncing restlessly -- it’s clear something is up, but Rex doesn’t want to say what it is. Not unless he’s prompted to, of course.

“..Hey, Six. Can I chill in here a bit?”

The first time that Jenny saw Rex, it was a lowkey disaster. They’d met for the first time, and initially hadn’t gotten  along; they’d found out that they were gonna be working together a LOT from here on out ... they’d been dispatched to the bug jar, and things had gone awry. Enough so that Rex had died there -- but, just like usual, it hadn’t taken him too long to come back. What took him longer was his body healing up from that gaping hole left in his chest, the nanites trying their best to fix it fast .. but they were still pretty slow. He supposes it’s just because its’ such a big hole, but that doesn’t leave him feeling any less annoyed.. anywho, it IS healed by the time he’s back in Providence’s care, and Jenny is shooed off. That’s the last he’d even heard of his new friend(?) for awhile. It seems Providence was pissed about his less than stellar performance, though .... they said it was embarrassing that he’d died like that. Yadda yadda yaadddaaa, something something punishment ... Rex zoned out the whole time, mind wandering elsewhere. 

Even as he was forced to stay in his room for like, a week, his mind still drifted back to that girl he met. She seemed .. nice. Like a total kindred spirit to him! Both of them were basically just living weapons right? And she had so many similar powers to him! Now THAT was pretty cool. He didn’t think he’d ever meet another person like that! .... And speaking of said person, he hadn’t been expecting a visit from her today. He wasn’t exactly sure what to think when he heard the alarms blaring just outside his room, but he remembers his orders; he is not to leave the room no matter what. He’s in trouble. So he bites the leather glove covering his thumb, sighing before turning back to his drawing. He’s trying hard to not focus on that alarm, but it’s so high  pitched! He swears it’s gonna drive him crazy -- and after a solid minute or two, he steps up and decides he’s gonna protect his home... Even if it WOULD land him in a lot of trouble. Right as he slams open the door, face full of determination, he isn’t expecting to see Jenny right at the door -- it’s enough to get him jumping back in surprise with a yelp. Once he regains his cool, he spits on his glove and slicks back his hair, ambling up to the doorway and leaning against it in what could be read as a flirty pose.

“Woah! Hey, I was just thinkin bout you.” There’s a  happy lilt to his tone, grinning innocently her way. He shuffles aside awkwardly, and does a half bow. His grin seems to turn more goofy, and he motions for her to follow him. “Feel free to come in, I aint got nothin else to do.”

Here’s something I don’t see writers practicing enough: how big things can permanently change your character.

I see people putting their characters through war, abusive relationships, health disorders, and intense grief. Since popular writers often fail here, I hope you guys are also considering how these things will affect your character in the long run. I don’t mean “Oh, they have bad dreams now and are jerks to everyone, but only for a little while.” I mean has their entire outlook on life changed dramatically, and if so how? Does it show? Do they try to hide it and move on, or do they accept that this is who they are now? Does it take them a long time or a short time to realize things can never again be the way they were? How does that affect them? Do they choose to keep this new personality, or do they try to change it?

Not everyone wants to acknowledge this type of development in a character because it gets in the way of their plans or disrupts plot. Also, some characters are made of stern stuff or are just flexible enough to survive with their personality intact. Yet, major events in a story should leave a noticeable impact on a character, the more personal the event generally the bigger the personality change.

Just think about it if you haven’t already, y'know?

[tinnythicc-deactivated20221008]

The concept of ignoring the development of a character because it interferes with the plot is a completely foreign concept to me. Your character development should drive the plot as much as the opposite. Your character development is the plot.

[tonytwink-deactivated20210827]

as someone who has gone through life-altering experiences, there is no way nothing changes. it could be as small as a change in their step (ex: they walk slower, more paranoid in certain spaces) or as big as a change in their lifestyle (ex: they can’t approach crowds and public spaces like they used to, gradually developing a deep rooted case of agoraphobia).

things change even if nothing extremely drastic in life happens, time changes things. if you have an especially big time gap in your story, something will have to change. friendships change, relationships change, the colours of the fucking leaves change. everything changes. if your story doesn’t acknowledge the fact that life is full of constant change and adapt accordingly, something is missing.

Good time transition advice!

Rolling these out today!! Last call!!

I really need to be here and actually write, and i really do plan to, but .... I can't stop thinking about how bad the implications of that ben 10 crossover is. Theyre literally aging rex down to like what, 10 yrs old? And hes STILL working for Providence? My guy.. Thats taking CHILD SOLDIER to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL.

[evoheal]

OOC.

i was just vibin here, rewatching my hard knock life amv for rex, when i realized something kinda horrifying

rex ... is probably rather numb to death. he’s exposed to a LOT of it at proividence. he doesnt seem to vbe very bothered by it, too. he tries to avoid murder where he can when it comes to evos bc enough of his kind has died already but .. he doesn’t care when it comes to other things / beings unless its close to him. we see this bc providence soldiers are HEAVILY implied to die off screen, a LOT, and he never helps them. and he’s died himself before, still didnt seem t be bothered by it. m ..b jhjhmgh... but that’s bound to happen when you’re a child soldier raised to be nothing more than a weapon, huh
