I have a character concept I’ll ramble about.

Her name’s Maria Lovelace - she’s half-Ecuadorian, half-American. She comes off as having a diva personality at first glance, i.e. she seems to like being the center of attention and lives in her own world. The reality is that she’s a superhero at a company that’s pretty much exploiting her borderline personality disorder. They use her symptoms - her reckless behavior, her extreme reactions, the like - and touch it all up to paint her as a diva archetype. I remember a friend said she was a bit like Neely O’Hara from Valley of the Dolls, but I wouldn’t say so. Maria’s mentally ill and instead of getting the treatment she needs, her job’s exploiting her for it. Neely, on the other hand, turned from this scrappy kid into a bitchy, manipulative shell of a person because of her personal experiences with Hollywood.

She’s still a very half-baked character, though. I’m saying this because I don’t want to end up misportraying or demonizing BPD, which already gets a bad enough rep in fictional media. So if anyone has suggestions or advice on how to write her, lemme know! :)

People say that there are two sides to every story, that you need to find the gray between the black-and-white worldview. But I know that these people are wrong.

Not in the way you think, though. There’s only one story: Your own. You live through it day by day, and because that’s the only world you see it’s impossible for it to have more than one side.

I learned that there aren’t any sides to stories. There just are. We’re all living through our own. And it never goes the way we want or expect because—unfortunately—we’re taught that that’s the way life works.

It happened in New York. I knew beforehand that there’s definitely something human underneath the villains I’ve fought. There’s something not quite evil beneath a lot of them, something that makes them a little closer to us than we’d like. The thing is, though, I didn’t really understand this just with villains. I saw it in heroes, too.

And I saw it in me.

My name is Benjamin Kirby Tennyson. I am fifteen years old. And I am here to tell you about May of 2019, and how I learned that our stories overlap and that there’s more colors on the spectrum than black, white or gray.

In madder, it ends. Aah, tonight it’s all your fault My whole system is an uproar “Live with me” The voice from my memory Left the hard, stiff cover as it was, saying “Goodbye” as the morning mist concealed the two of us

I listened to Maxwell’s Silver Hammer while drawing this, time to add to my Moge-ko themed playlist.

Drew my favorite bitch-ass - Vasiliev, the grand douche-canoe himself - again.

He’s a horrible bastard with one (1) redeeming quality and that is his strong and healthy relationship with his lil’ bro who he’d die protecting from harm.

Summary under cut.

It’s the summer of 2019, and Ben Tennyson and his family and friends have decided to take a two week trip to New York City to enjoy themselves. There’s a lot they don’t know about the city - one thing they don’t know is how the hero business works. For you see, heroes and villains in New York work for companies alongside their sidekicks in order to fight and cause crime. In exchange for their efforts they receive things like exposure, financial stability - the works.

It’s after an encounter with a rogue metahuman trying to cause trouble that Ben befriends the local Team Overdrive from hero company Lunar Zero. As he continues his stay in New York, he and his friends come to realize just how much they don’t see beneath the gilded surface of these companies - and what exactly is going on within himself. Will he choose to run and hide from what’s really happening? Or will he stand and fight against what’s happening?

Not to talk John Steinbeck on main, but this all was because we had to read Of Mice and Men as part of a school assignment and the ending was just an absolute kick in the balls.

Okay but holy shit, I cannot wait to finish the Grapes of Wrath. Is it a bad book by any means? Fuck no it isn’t, but it’s just so sad that I kind of want to hurry up before I cry again.
