#everyone is flawed

That clip for Ellen was really beautiful and emotional and she really has done a lot of good things for so many

Sometimes I hurt someone’s feelings because I say something snarky in front of them, but I think they won’t notice or care about anything I have to say, so my words won’t have any consequences... but they do and not only do I feel bad about that, but I can’t quite accept that they even heard me.

there are no good people and bad people, only people trying to be a better version of themselves and people who don't try at all

Flawless, perfect characters are boring as shit. 

I mean this in every possible way. Flaws are neutral things you add to a character to make them interesting. Scars and fully personality quirks are fine and all, but that’s window dressing. Without at least one major flaw that gets in their way, they may as well be a personification of the color beige. 

Flaws in and of themselves are neither good or bad, they just are. They are the very thing that makes a character compelling. To be without flaw is to be without conflict. And without conflict, there is no story. Plain and simple.

I think that people need to stop acting so surprised when their favorite celebrities' get exposed. You can't put a human on a pedestal and treat them like a god and not think that they will fall sooner or later. Even all the gods in myths and religions are fall eventually

♚ ; What’s a personality trait you have that you’re proud of?

@faegrifted Hmmm...this is tough. I don’t normally like talking about myself like this. I’d say though if I had to pick, I like how it's easy for me to connect with others. I try to be welcoming cause I know what it's like not to be allowed in spaces and feel unwanted. I don’t like people feel ousted so I try hard to help them feel included. 

I don’t always succeed, and hell there are some people I avoid like the plague cause we just don’t get along or we don’t vibe right (ya’ll probably know a toxic person or two in life like this), but I do try to reach out before giving up cause I think everyone should try to be a bit nicer to each other. Life’s already hard enough with our fucking shit.

OC Negative Traits

I was unexpectedly tagged by @gugle1980. Bold is always, italics is sometimes. (I don’t have any screen shots of my girl, so I had to scramble and quickly draw something. I’ll color and upload the full drawing another time)

Ebrisa Trevelyan

aggressive | arrogant | authoritarian | bitter | brutal | callous | cannibal | careless| cold/cold-hearted | compulsive | controlling | corrects others constantly |cowardly | critical | cruel | delusional | demanding | disillusioned | domineering | envious | emotionally stunted | greedy | grim | guarded | hard | harsh | hypocritical | impatient | impolite | intimidating | irritable | kidnapper | lazy | liar | lustful | materialistic | mean | merciless | messianic | mistrusting | murderer | narrow-minded | obsessive | opinionated | over-bearing | over-critical | over-emotional | over-thinking | patronizing | proud | remote | repressed | rigid | rules with an iron fist | ruthless | sarcastic | self-righteous | self-indulgent | serial killer | taciturn | torturer | touchy | traitorous | unsympathetic | unpredictable | uptight | vain | vengeful

This is my current/preferred version of Ebrisa, the one where she took over as first enchanter at the Gallows after the annulment (kind of a default decision, but it was official). This position, coupled with the fact that she looked after two younger apprentices during the DA2 portion of the story, more or less catapulted her into “mom mode”. As such, she takes less crap and is prone to scolding (even the commander is not safe).

I’m pretty low on the totem pole, so im not sure who I can tag beside my doppleganger, @zulefandomgaming
