salutations!

salutations! tis i, the salubrious bean. yes, you read that right. i’m back, under a different username, but i am the same silly guy who was on the blr before. long story short, my blr account was found and I had to delete it (hence why i sadly cannot use the previous username). it’ll take me a hot minute to rebuild the whole shebang on here, but… i got impatient. i will not be as active as i used to be, and i also feel like i've gone through a lot of character development since i was last here so HURRAH :}

STOP INFANTILIZING CRUTCHIE I DON'T WANT BABY CRUTCHIE. GIVE ME CRUTCHIE WHO IS THE FIRST PERSON THE OTHERS TURN TO FOR ADVICE AND COMFORT. GIVE ME CRUTCHIE WHO TRIES SO HARD TO PROVE THAT HE'S ABLE TO PHYSICALLY KEEP UP WITH THE OTHERS AND FEELS A LITTLE BAD WHEN THEY HAVE TO STEP IN TO FIGHT FOR HIM. GIVE ME CRUTCHIE WHO'S CODEPENDENT WITH JACK NOT BECAUSE HE CAN'T MAKE IT ON HIS OWN, BUT BECAUSE NEITHER OF THEM CAN.

i believe that God is love.

I believe every moment ive felt love for another person or felt love FROM another person, I am seeing the purest form of God that I can witness as a mortal on this Earth. To me God is in every hug and smile and piece of joy. Love connects me to Him and to those around me. I can communicate with Him with my heart, the same way I do when I hug people, hold their hand, say I love them. He talks to me the same way. Every kind word, every letter, ever display of love thinkable. It is as much Him as it is the person on the otherside.

I believe love is in EVERYTHING. Not just relationships. Moses 3:5 talks about how all things of the Earth were created spiritually before they were placed or began to grow. While that verse is more specifically plants, to me it just feels like the whole Earth really is ALIVE. And every piece of it is a whisper of God’s love. Rain is the skys way of telling the earth “I love you.” The way domesticated bees literally create excess honey for the humans they work with says, “I love you.” The way every home grown fruit or veggie tastes a million times better than the stuff you get at the grocery store because gardeners or small farms put hours into nursing each plant and protecting them, it screams “I love you” from every side. The relationship between flowers and bees says “I love you.” Winds excessive presence in general reminds me of a clingy dog- its playful and wants to be all over you- it is its own way if saying “I love you.”

I love the idea of love. I don’t think love can ever be impure. I do seperate it from lust- but that is genuinely a different feeling. It is my greatest goal to never stop loving people and the world. Yeah things (and people) get annoying and frustrating- but I can still love everything and everyone around me.

I believe God is Love.

I think the best piece of character design advice I ever received was actually from a band leadership camp I attended in june of 2017.

the speaker there gave lots of advice for leaders—obviously, it was a leadership camp—but his saying about personality flaws struck me as useful for writers too.

he said to us all “your curses are your blessings and your blessings are your curses” and went on to explain how because he was such a great speaker, it made him a terrible listener. he could give speeches for hours on end and inspire thousands of people, but as soon as someone wanted to talk to him one on one or vent to him, he struggled with it.

he had us write down our greatest weakness and relate it to our biggest strength (mine being that I am far too emotional, but I’m gentle with others because I can understand their emotions), and the whole time people are sharing theirs, my mind was running wild with all my characters and their flaws.

previously, I had added flaws as an after thought, as in “this character seems too perfect. how can I make them not-like-that?” but that’s not how people or personalities work. for every human alive, their flaws and their strengths are directly related to each other. you can’t have one without the other.

is your character strong-willed? that can easily turn into stubbornness. is your character compassionate? maybe they give too many chances. are they loyal? then they’ll destroy the world for the people they love.

it works the other way around too: maybe your villain only hates the protagonist’s people because they love their own and just have a twisted sense of how to protect them. maybe your antagonist is arrogant, but they’ll be confident in everything they do.

tl;dr “your curses are your blessings, and your blessings are your curses” there is no such thing as a character flaw, just a strength that has been stretched too far.

This is such a fabulous flip side of what I’ve always known about villians. That their biggest weakness is that they always assume their own motivations are the motives of others.

sawyersscribbles

This is brilliant!!

ayantiel

This is actually also a great thing to keep in mind for character development as well (for yourself and for your characters)

Your greatest strength -> taken to the extreme is your biggest flaw -> to compensate look towards the opposite of your greatest strength -> taken to the extreme is probably the thing you’re most allergic to in other people -> which they can learn from by looking to your greatest strength as an example this works for all virtues and flaws really for example, say your virtue is that you are humble your square might look like this
