this is just something I’ve had in mind for the past weeks but couldn’t put to practice since my finals were just around the corner, BUT now I’m (relatively) free and ready to share this with everyone! 🌹
• [4] language of flowers
• [3] relationships
• [4] details (items, favorite foods, trivia)
• [1] alternative scenario/genre
• [2] opposite personality
• [3] quotes
• [1] the circle of the hero/heroine’s journey that most resonates with him/her
there’s no specific time to do any of these, or even an order. Feel free to add, change or only complete the ones you’re most interested in!
When putting this together I tried to think about something that would be able to include a lot of your original characters, especially after getting to know so many beautiful creations and stories that made me realize not every character would have the same structure, and so I tried to be as general as possible - in a “maybe every character has it?” kinda thing. I really want to thank all of you for inspiring me so much every day!
now now, you’ll find here some explanations on each of the topics, and also feel free to send an ask or a message to clear any doubts??
• the language of flowers: which flower matches your character’s personality?
• relationships: make something about any kind of relationship your character has, be it a mother, sibling, lover, rival or enemy
• details: dwell on the trivias about your character: name meaning? favorite dessert? a special heirloom? does he/she has any pet? lbr fill this however you want!!
• alternative scenario: the premise here is “if it’s set in a fantasy/high fantasy world, how would it be if it was a sci-fi?” or, alternatively, “if it invokes magic, how would it be in a normal/magicless world?”
• opposite personality: basically, it begs you the question of how would your muse be if he acted completely different from what he/she is now? think of it as opposite labels or archetypes that would apply to your oc
• quotes: it could be either a quote from your character or some quote that you think 110% applies to him/her
• the circle of the hero/heroine’s journey that most resonates with him/her: oh boi this one. After reading this amazing post, the thought came to me: which part of the hero/heroine’s journey most influences your character? which trial or event was/is a decisive point in his story or personality?
if it’s not going to matter in five years why are you worrying about it now? i try to repeat this to myself whenever i’m stressing about something that’s just not that important because really life is too short to spend your life worrying it away. so as long as you are taking care of yourself, you’re going to be okay!
hestia: describe your ideal house
i mean like i could say a castle in ireland or something amazing like that but realistically i would love just a small cozy apartment over the bookstore (that i hope to own) with the person i loved. it would be big enough for me, them and pets we wanted, and of course so many books. it would have to have a great view, and i would have to have a nice kitchen, i love cooking. but really i value the people in it more than the place itself. i just want a home for once in my life tbh.
⋆ i was going to rec gone girl but then i went through your tag and it looks like you've seen it already so!! instead i'm gonna recommend watching it again because it's gone girl.
hahaha yes, i have seen it, it’s amazing :D
heavenly bodies - sun // moon // stars // shooting star // comet
i love how positive i am when the situation calls for it. i'm always the person people go to for advice and comfort and it makes me feel really good about myself because i can make them feel a little happier.
