How To Write Character Flaws

It can be hard to find that balance between a character that is too perfect for readers to love and a character that is too flawed for readers to relate to.

Something I like to remember when thinking of flaws to give characters is that very often, flaws can be positive attributes that are in excess.

(This is related to Aristotle’s Virtues and Doctrine of the Mean.)

FOR INSTANCE,

Courage is a positive trait.

But taken too far? That can lead to rashness, or recklessness, which are negative traits. And without enough courage? The character is meak, fearful and cowardly, which are also negative traits.

Here are some examples to think of for your characters of positive traits taken to the extremes.

Virtue- kindness

Excess-easily taken advantage of

Deficiency- selfishness

-

Virtue- ambition

Excess- greed/avarice

Deficiency- lazy

-

Virtue- honesty

Excess- harshness

Deficiency- secrecy/dishonesty

-

Virue- decisiveness

Excess-impulsiveness

Deficiency-indecision

-

Virtue- passionate

Excess- irritating

Deficiency- apathetic

-

Virtue- strong leadership

Excess- over-controlling

Deficiency- indifferent/passive

Hope this helps :)

Automatically thought of Louisiana when he said “TT”, lived there for many years and had 4 of my 5 kids were birthed & raised there. It was the only place I had ever heard of Aunties being called “TT” for short. My kids call their Aunt “TT”. I love the references to Sam and Anthony’s upbringing.

Fine. When I was a kid, my aunt passed away.

I'm a 100% sure that this is what you'll see before he fucks the shit out of you. You can't convince me otherwise.

so i noticed

that since that whole “no porn no more” rule of tumblr has been installed, it became very hard to find fics. Before when I used to type in “bucky x reader” I got a ton of fics, old and new. But now it’s just a dozen of posts, and I can’t find any of my faves. Luckily, I have bookmarked a lot of my favourite MCU reader insert fics. 

Also, my own fics who I moved to this new blog had hundreds of notes in days - and now they have less than ten each. I assume because they don’t have the same visibility because they have bad words that tumblr no likey.

so here’s a list of authors (fics in next post) . Let’s spread these lists and reblog each other’s fics, because if Tumblr won’t let us find porn to read - we’ll find it for each other.
