Big fan of when character flaws are actually. Yknow. Flaws. Being closed off and cold isn’t necessarily a bad flaw to give a character, but it’s so overdone that it doesn’t feel like a flaw anymore. And then there’s stuff like in Percy Jackson, where Percy’s fatal flaw is “loyalty”— he would do anything for his friends even if it meant the end of the world.

and um. I love the books/series more than anything but girly pop (riordan) that’s not a flaw.

give me characters that are selfish. Greedy. Cowardly. Arrogant. Lazy. Envious. This is ESPECIALLY important for main characters.

@captain-will

thoughts?

Edit: I think that character flaws should have actual, permanent consequences more often— not just in tragedies. Give me a story where everything turns out okay, but there’s one relationship that will (justifiably) never be the same because of a character’s flaws. they aren’t enemies, they are STILL allies— but that does not and will not lead to forgiveness.

#My only real criticism with PJO #Love the series I promise #Unrelated: prejudiced characters. Give me characters that are biased against X #..but do not show or even FEEL aggression towards X when face-to-face or thinking about someone they know personally #Only when “x” is a concept and easy to judge because it has no human face.#Let THAT be a source of internal conflict!! Let that be character development!! Let it be the Main character!!#That’s how prejudice works sometimes and we CAnt fight it if we don’t understand it!!

several people in my post about Hades PJO saying that they would gladly accept the juice and snacks because they love Hades and the underworld

Persephone will come home in the fall and there will be a thousand teenagers living with Hades she will be like "wtf? i only left you alone for six months"

#Who needs to be king of Olympus when you are loved by the people?#Persephone I'll keep everyone out of your garden don't worry #i can't promise we won't spoil your husband you know we will #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #pjo series #pjo tv show #pjo #hades pjo #persephone pjo

the biggest problem with tos’ episodic format is that the episode usually ends pretty quickly after the conflict resolves and then they never really talk about it again - no matter how intense or harrowing it was

which means that we don’t get to actually *see* the interpersonal fallout of bones being diagnosed with and cured from a previously-incurable terminal illness (that he didn’t even want to tell jim and spock he had), and then just four episodes later drugging them so that he can go be tortured (and likely die) instead of spock, and so jim doesn’t have to make the choice between them.

did they talk about it? beyond just a standard debrief and a “never fucking do that again bones i swear to god i mean it this time”? did they make it the captains’ quarters for the debrief, only for mccoy to be pulled into a crushing, trembling hug as soon as the door shut while jim tried to assure himself that bones was still here, was still breathing? spock hovering nearby - a hand gently coming to rest on his shoulder?

why didn’t mccoy want to tell them about the xenopolycythemia, anyways? to try and hold onto a few more normal-ish months before every time they looked at him their eyes would be filled with grief - mourning a man they hadn’t yet lost? the same reason he ran away; to spare them what he went through with his father?

only for him to immediately turn around and throw himself back to the wolves to (almost) die right in front of them anyways

i don’t really know how they handled it. whether they talked about it and attempted to soothe the hurt, or just resolutely tried to bottle it up.

but i do know this: spock eventually came back from gol because jim simply (though accidentally) called out for him in a moment of need. bones only came back because jim personally drafted him back into starfleet

"A hundred and one. Going on a hundred and two." "You're a terrible liar."

He lived,,

I'm beyond the point where I can use words to describe them anymore.

Just know that I drew this instead of working and I'll probably keep drawing them more even tho the work's piling up-

I'm not even kidding, it's terrible how much they invade my brain, like I'm always either thinking about them or drawing about them or saving pins on Pinterst about them (the board is getting pretty stuffed), everything i see is ORANGE at this point (it's my favorite color fortunately so I don't mind).

Still not done with the third book btw. I try to make it last as long as I can but I constantly want to read so the end is getting dangerously near...

Next I'll probably draw Dan and/or the other foxes, cause let's be honest they're all so cool...
