StanXeno Are Gen's Parents AU But There's A Problem With Sengen:

💚💙

I love when platonic love and romantic love is so blurred that it doesn’t even matter anymore. All that matters is the devotion that’s there, the unwavering devotion

Them having the same VA makes me giggle

Hfmsdh Short shit bakugou (Happy birthday you awesome bastard)

GIF of Gen from season 4 ending. Making a few more of these of my fav scenes, so stay tuned :3

Also he’s so bbg the entire credits. Thought that needed to be said

LMAOOOO THATS SO FUNNY I CANT

Stanley’s face is making me cry lmao it’s so disappointed/concerned. He’s so concerned. Zeno the children need you. Come home stop talking to children on the internet.

My cursed friend’s takeaway after we watched Senku’s and Xeno’s flashbacks in s4 ep7

How to Write a Character

↠ Start with the basics, because obviously. Name. Age. Gender. Maybe even a birthday if you’re feeling fancy. This is step one because, well, your character needs to exist before they can be interesting. But nobody cares if they’re 27 or 37 unless it actually matters to the story.

↠ Looks aren’t everything… but also, describe them. Yes, we know their soul is more important than their hair color, but readers still need something to visualize. Do they have the kind of face that makes babies cry? Do they always look like they just rolled out of bed? Give us details, not just “tall with brown hair.

↠ Personality isn’t just “kind but tough.” For the love of storytelling, give them more than two adjectives. Are they kind, or do they just pretend to be because they hate confrontation? Are they actually tough, or are they just too emotionally repressed to cry in public? Dig deeper.

↠ Backstory = Trauma (usually). Something shaped them. Maybe it was a messy divorce, maybe they were the middle child and never got enough attention, or maybe they once got humiliated in a spelling bee and never recovered. Whatever it is, make it matter to who they are today.

↠ Give them a goal. Preferably a messy one. If your character’s only motivation is to “be happy” or “do their best,” they’re boring. They need a real goal, one that conflicts with who they are, what they believe in, or what they think they deserve. Bonus points if it wrecks them emotionally.

↠ Make them suffer. Yes, I said it. A smooth, easy journey is not a story. Give them obstacles. Rip things away from them. Make them work for what they want. Nobody wants to read about a character who just gets everything handed to them (unless it’s satire, then carry on).

↠ Relationships = Depth. Nobody exists in a vacuum. Who do they love? Who annoys the hell out of them? Who do they have that messy, can’t-live-with-you-can’t-live-without-you tension with? People shape us. So, shape your character through the people in their life.

↠ Give them a voice that actually sounds like them. If all your characters talk the same, you’ve got a problem. Some people ramble, some overthink, some are blunt to the point of being offensive. Let their voice show who they are. You should be able to tell who’s talking without dialogue tags.

↠ If they don’t grow, what’s the point? People change. They learn things, make mistakes, get their hearts broken, and (hopefully) become a little wiser. If your character starts and ends the story as the same exact person, you just wasted everyone’s time.

↠ Flaws. Give. Them. Flaws. Nobody likes a perfect character. Give them something to struggle with, maybe they’re selfish, maybe they push people away, maybe they’re addicted to the thrill of self-destruction (fun!). Make them real. Make them human.

↠ Relatability is key. Your character doesn’t have to be likable, but they do have to be understandable. Readers need to get them, even if they don’t agree with them. If your character never struggles, never doubts, and never screws up, I have bad news: they’re not a character, they’re a mannequin.

↠ You’re never actually done. Characters evolve, not just in the story, but as you write them. If something feels off, fix it. If they feel flat, dig deeper. Keep refining, rewriting, and letting them surprise you. That’s how you create someone who feels real.

Now go forth and write characters that actually make people feel something. And if you need a reminder, just ask yourself: Would I care if this person existed in real life? If the answer is meh, start over.

i dont like dwelling on this exchange much bc its a magnet for people trying to "prove" god's silliest sonboy gon freecss is actually a manipulative sociopath 😒... but it does stand out to me whenever i skim the manga again & i do think its pretty interesting?

like i think its a bigger indicator of killua's issues with communication than it is gon knowingly taking advantage of him or whatever losers who are wrong say. which falls in line with a lot of the holes killua digs himself during this arc in general, which is just that hes avoiding having tough conversations bc hes terrified/convinced gon will respond poorly—a fear that comes far more from his own poor self-esteem and history with abuse than anything gon's intentionally done

and i guess another reason im interested is bc this along with the brief argument he has with killua in the same forest feel like theyre establishing that gon is aware that killua has a pattern of being very indulgent with him, to the extent that he can trust this habit will avoid unnecessary conflict w meleoron, and that seeing killua being actually, seriously stern makes him worried. bc gon is very emotionally intelligent and picks up on peoples behavior. & as much as i really loathe to be in the vicinity of losers who are wrong i do think what gon's picked up from killua is that killua doesn't mind if gon is stubborn at him and that doing it will work on him. bc killuas never told or shown him otherwise shrug

also meleoron being consistently on the periphery of gon and killuas insane 13 year old gay shit is rlly funny to me btw. guy signed up for regicide not whatever this is

It’s prob bc your women look like real people lmao

Recently I was told that I “fucked up” all the woman characters I’ve posted from my “kingdom of science members” and I really want to know if I actually did or if the person who told me is a little biased about the change of art style since he doesn’t even watch dcst and might not recognise characters for their features outside of the art style, especially since the art style used for women is WHACK.

Example: men

Example: women

how i be feelin the last 5 years

Luna my favorite gal❤️❤️❤️

Luna is such a way more complex character than people give her credit for aurghhh

She is so idealized and has so many expectations placed on her by society that she feels like she needs to find a partner that is equally or more smart than her so the pressure isn't fully on her, she's constantly forcing herself to do things so she lives up to people's expectations and she still is able to be genuinely kind to those around her. AND FANS STILL HATE HER!!

She is, objectively, a great person. She's smart, she's kind and she's beautiful. Of course she's a little selfish and has a big ego, after all who doesn't? But she still forces herself to live her life according to what other people think she should live. People expect her to still be awake after being petrified for 3700, so she does. People expect her to be resourceful and help Stanley, so she does. The moment she decided to help Senku wasn't just the narrative twisting the gears so the story would work, it's the moment she's true to herself and goes against what she's expected to do and helps Senku. Not because she wants him to date her, no. She would do it regardless of him accepting her conditions or not, if he wanted her to wait she would too. She was doing it because she wanted to, not because she was expected to.

I will NEVER forgive these fake stoners for hating on our girl just because she gets in the way of gay ships, she's a STAR and you're NOT ready for her.
