I love antagonists who mirror the protagonist instead of contrast them. They are the most extreme version of the protagonist, someone with the same dreams and beliefs who believed these things could only be achieved by the sharpest tools. The crushing weight of knowing that could be you.

love the trope of being created for some nasty high purpose - You Were Meant To Destroy Them All™ - and the character instead finds empathy and hope. good shit right there.

comedies that turn into tragedies when the fucked up stuff played for jokes suddenly gets treated with the severity and realness that it would get in real life are genuinely my weakness and hit so much harder than tragedies that start off with the sad stuff.

"Doomed by the narrative" is sexy and all but i think the narrative wanting to save a character who is utterly set on dooming themselves isnt as much of a thing and it's so good as a concept

"I can fix him" not in a "I can make him into a better person" way but in a "if he was my character I would've handled his story better" way

villains who could have been protagonists in different circumstances? I live for that shit

[elindae-writes]

Anybody else got that Evergiven sized writers block

have your characters permanently disabled at the end of their story. It's not a punishment, I promise. You don't have to imply that your hero is going to "overcome" their disability at the epilogue.

Tbh I really love the idea of, during the Orion Pax arc, Megatron just tells him "yeah you took the matrix but it completely warped you into someone else. It ruined our relationship, the other guy puppeting your body became my sworn enemy, and we've been fighting for like 4 million years". And Orion ofc remembers none of that but hates every bit of it.

And later, the autobots have to drag Orion back kicking and screaming and force the matrix back into him, because he DOES NOT WANT THAT SHIT!! That stupid old boomerang took all his memories and made him into a different person! He forgot all the love he had for his would-be mate! It made him turn his back on the oppressed people that actually needed him! It destroyed the life he and Megatronus were going to build together! No, no, NO! He's not going back and you can't make him! Fighting with all his strength to get away from them, struggling to hold his chassis closed, yelling as loud as he can for Megatronus to help him and not let them take him away a second time

stopping at an understaffed, overcrowded fast food restaurant while on a road trip and crouching over your phone with your chicken sandwich at a corner table like a weary adventurer eating a bowl of unidentifiable stew at a nameless inn, the only one for miles of moor and wood, taking in the chatter around you but speaking to none before pulling your cloak back up over your head and taking t' the road once more

Having emotions about characters that actively choose to be bubbly and upbeat despite what the world throws at them,,, 🥹
