dancing with a woman whose name you've never known

i drew sam when he found the elven rope because apparently i can only go a few days without drawing my favorite little guys. this was such a wakeup call to practice line art again lol.

thought the hands were fun so i drew jinx <3

tbh i dont read a lot of true crime but ive been meaning to go book shopping and wanna get something new. thanks for the rec :))

absolutely need tumblr's true crime community to read eliza clarke's penance so yall can hear just how stupid most of yall sound even after all these years

tryna figure out his look before i deface him on my apush notes :P

painting this wouldve taken all of 5 minutes but noooo i had to take hours to haphazardly embroider it even though i have no idea what im doing

I genuinely feel so bad for homophobes,, they will never understand the JOY of gay subtext and the giddiness of shipping silly guys online

drew this while i was watching season 3 a week ago :P

yes, i failed inktober. no, i dont care. i still painted some very spooky scenes even tho i wish i made more. have some doodles among my notes for school.

Hey I’ve been struggling with developing a character’s inferiority complex. Do you have any tips on ways to show not tell this?

How to write an inferiority complex

An inferiority complex can be described as a chronic low self-esteem, a consistent feeling of inadequacy.

Causes:

a low status in the social hierarchy

specific aspects about themself (physical or something else) that are looked down upon in society

being talked down on a lot

a lack of parental acceptance

failing to live up to high expectations put upon them

not reaching a goal they decided on themself

How to show a character's inferiority complex:

People act differently with this diagnosis, sometimes also depending on the situation and the person they are with. Here are some ideas.

show them focussing on negative aspects a lot

not being able to see it when something did work out well for them

talking badly about themself

withdrawing from friends and family

not being able to take a compliment or criticism

demeaning other's as a way to make other's feel as bad as they do

trying to get attention and even pity

can be shown through perfectionism

and not being able to cope well if something does not fit into the standard they have

I hope this helps you out!
