Be warned: spoilers for The Hollow Boy.
The chronicle of the monk Herbert of Reichenau for the year 1021 ends âMy brother Werner was born on November 1.âÂ
1021 was not an uneventful year. The emperor began a campaign into Italy. Illustrious abbots died. There was an earthquake. But Herbert took the time to note, at the end of the year, that his brother was born.Â
Of such acts of tenderness is history made.Â
have most characters be non-minors, around the same age range. this is mostly to minimize underage nonsense.
while family relationships are important, save them as background elements, explored every now and then. focus mainly on the bonds of non-related characters and how their different backgrounds play off each other.
limit the overly edgy tone, where pain and suffering are near-romanticized. try to emphasize wholesomeness, health, and the various ways characters can have good relationships despite their differences. a lot of nintendo franchises are good examples.
avoid creating significant characters who are utterly irredeemable with harmful ethics. (for me personally, i limit elements such as abuse and discrimination for background conflicts while presenting more interesting, morally gray arguments, where either side is right/flawed) if youâre going to have a villain, either make them team rocket goofy or classic disney fun.
just. try not to have characters + relationships rely on racial tropes. if you overly rely on a tough dark-skinned / dainty light-skinned formula, youâre going to see some racist shipping. mix it up. round âem out.
same goes for gendered tropes. if a dude is downright violent and irresponsible and a level-headed girl has to put up with his flaws without him facing consequence, thatâs a downright unbalanced relationship. and do keep in mind that if two boys utterly despise each other, people will absolutely take that a certain way. again, with #3, try to play off disdain as comedic or with exception rather than constant seething hatred.
obviously these arenât hard and fast rules, and what/how you create will vary. but itâs how i generally approach my work
So about Fyodor's ability we've only ever seen him use it on people and the only info we have on it is that it can like blow their brains up (since that's all we've seen it do iirc) and that it's named Crime and Punshiment.
As we all know Fyodor has a weird type of a god complex i guess you could say?? Basically he has decided he has the power to pick who should and shouldn't existed and picked ability users as the ones that shouldn't. Except himself. (from what i can understand)
He believes he has the right to pass judgment on such a thing as someone's very existence and punishes people based on whether he perceives them to have a committed a crime or not.
You getting what i mean??
From its name and what we've seen of it so far i think Fyodor's ability works in a way similar to court except he's judge, jury and executioner.
He is the judge of whether someone's life has been a sin or not, in this case ability users, and then executes them accordingly.
So in short how i perceive Fyodor's ability is that it only works on people Fyodor sees as criminals according to his own morals and ideals. Thus he can use it on any ability user and on only those non ability users who he sees as wrong and "evil" to put it in a very very very simplified way.
It's definitely more complicated than whether he sees the person as "evil" or not but yeah basically this is what I think it is.
Which also ties into my theory that Fyodor CAN'T use his ability to break out of the water tank area thing because the walls themselves are not something Fyodor does or CAN ever perceive as criminals and thus cannot blow them up. Even if he blames Dazai or hell even the guards for losing so easily he would only be able to attack them and not the gates.
Therefore, Fyodor is gonna die.
