Good Traits Gone Bad
Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:
1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.
2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.
3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.
4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.
5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.
6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.
7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.
8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.
9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.
10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.
These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.
Happy writing!
Conformity is the expression of an individual within society. It shows others how we wish to be perceived and treated by others in our social standing. Conformity is both imperative and a drawback in humankind. We see examples of extreme conformity in the Nazis, what if each individual soldier had not conformed to what the "norm" of Germany was in 1943. How different would the war have gone? They saw no other way to be part of their culture than to follow what everyone else is doing. Conformities are not evil though. You see conformity in the way that everyone speaks and eats and dresses. What would the world look like if no one followed the rules of english, because every aspect of the things we conform to is abratry, just as the language of english. In life you need to find a balance of following the crowd and swimming upstream, because without social rules and conformity civilization is lawless.
humans are animals. on a biological level, human beings are highly evolved mammals with complex social structures and well-developed brains. we eat, we sleep, we fuck. we raise our young and form tribes and fight for scarce goods. but i think that we are interesting because we are unparalleled in our ability to cause immense ripples in the universe, to leave a mark in our worlds and the worlds’ of others. we have the ability to cause outstanding pain, to tear each other apart with our words and rip out each other’s hearts. we are animals at our cores. but i think this fact makes our small kindnesses that much more meaningful, our moments of relief and pointless morals and ardent generosity all the more special. i have seen incredible hurt in this world, and i have also seen such genuine curiosity, gentleness, and connection. maybe it’s naive of me, but i think that most people do not want to cause harm. if given the chance, most people will choose kindness — to say thank you to the waiter, to pull their legs in when you walk through an aisle, to follow traffic lights and form lines even when it would be easier to cut. i think at our core, we want to do good, to try. i think that all of the pain and anger and hurt and violence only makes our amazing capacity for kindness that much more meaningful, that much more wonderful. in a senseless, brutal world, the fact that someone is helping a stranger pick up their spilled groceries or making silly faces for a baby is something to be cherished. something real. maybe, just maybe, it isn’t all bad.
Harry Potter and the summoning of Old Wizard Grumble
Predictive text writing a weird Harry Potter story, with Botniks / @objectdreams keyboard prototype public app.
I just changed minor things so the sentences actually make some kind of sense xD Enjoy Harry Potter and the summoning of Old Wizard Grumble. Don’t forget m'boy Barty
…
Harry could hear her muttering under the desk. Professor Lupin looked aghast with his left eye and drooling angrily. Hermione defended voice echoed impressively through the darkness towards them.
“Where do vanished objects go, I barely know and tell me more about those tea leaves gentlemen!”
“I think we ought to ask the Dark Lord’s snatchers. But how come you’ve not already stolen Neville’s books?” Lupin muttered moon-eyed. “Depression,” she said quietly behind her enormous arm waving at Harry over her head. Harry spoke again: “You think it’s up to me because you’re that snappy?” The floor beside them fell into silence. Sleep caught them all, for the first time in hours. Suddenly the portrait hole opened its mouth wide with terror for some sign of interrupting. Harry’s face washed vividly and looked over the threshold with love. “Shouting menacingly obviously exhausted the department like a weapon, you know?” said Hermione with utter astonishment.
Harry looked closer — professor ’Grumble’ pointing at him from every corner. Snow reappearing suddenly as though they knew who had gone mad now.
“Don’t Harry! We can’t jump you to your beloved Lord Voldemort!”
Harry didn’t listen to Ronley; instead he started hiccupping under his nose. “Well it’s warning me to teach the department mysteries about you. Looks like they’ve wanted points for Gryffindor.”
There seemed to breathe a Figure on their backs and clambered rather frightened into their view. Ron stared up into Harry’s green eyes.
“Ghoul you harry, come here and remain present or it’s staying like this between us!” said Ron sharply face contorted with concentration.
“… afraid I can’t. Yeah, magic wishes that we never take goodness out of our hearts, only on Mondays,” he whispered again, pointing toward himself trapped inside his robes.
“Hermione, do something!” screamed Ron sharply vibrating with joy before they would all be fruitless weasels trapped in hugs of robes. Mungo’s a little straighter than usual and they contain invisibility on Harry’s dancing shamrock uncontrollably.
She screamed Madam Window into view once before but there were many slender fingers along the corridor. Too many.
She wondered… Had Voldemort ever raised eyebrows coldly — like Ron forcefully and convincing? She couldn’t unblinkingly repeat the great dislike they gravely had experienced.
“I thought we ought to ask away ideas from death eaters who’d Hagrid make grawp?”
“Obviously they don’t,” Lupin demanded suspiciously, “Harry caught them, don’t I know what this means?”
“I don’t decide which makes bagman good as if you’d get it either way.” Hermione defends, “Sent it to me and he won’t pay attention to what you were supposed to do.”
Hermione gasped sternly as they both grabbed her and pulled her wand pointing warningly. Politeness had never been their magic.
Quietly… commotion had turned still and for support she didn’t crouch or protect Harry as Luna dreamily reached into Harry’s eyes.
Slowly, nearly hiccupping slightly too, she was sure to look suspicious.
Then several lights flickered and Professor Lupin firmly said a familiar arts of wizardry candle spell. Finally, light roared into the corridor and they saw what had attacked Harry.
There on his chest they saw Hermione’s face contorted with rage!
“Tragic losses is challenge enough without Dumbledore.” Ron complaining while Ariana sings in their dormitories.
“And now look at happy Harry. He seems to have crashed there…” They all looked at Harry Potter and Luna, bodies waffling over the chamber.
Hermione began pulling shards indifferently from Harry, before they had time to attempt a low blow to her middle.
Ron was fascinated as the entrance to Gryffindor had just emerged.
This meant that Luna had probably deliberately turned hiccup into the dark arts! Harry began tearing up in time, looking at Hermione with something close to wonder.
“Are you alright, Harry?” she asked him.
“I think we should vote next time, so we dungbombs don’t get stuck again.”
“I dunno.” she questioned him, “M'boy Barty Crouch took possession of you. You would have failed even with Dumbledore’s Picnic Law Enforcement Patrol, ah.”
“The ministry has hushed; you see vengeance… I had to Dumbledore it.” Harry defended.
“Broomsticks holds him up and down whether you’ve get rid of Horcruxes or something else unworthy.”
Suddenly there were footsteps below - Ron sobbed into Harry’s fire whisky, tickling all three prisoners of magical mischief at once.
They didn’t realise Dumbledore quietly billowed free from inside Griffindors gate.
Dumbledore smiled at each witch or wizard in front of him.
“Don’t I know you?” But before he’d voice his pigwidgeon, he turned quickly to the window and hanging himself upside down, “Oh well, I don’t mean to be difficult. I just went to heaven’s lake.”
“Birdy will understand.” said Dumbledore cheerfully to the ceiling as a normal bird worked at his feet. Raven said nothing. It bounced onto Dumbledore’s tilted hat decorated with his hands.
Harry bitterly leaves all magic. The cloak falling out of invisibility, as the wizard long thought lost, stood before them once again.
There on his faces set his fingers together again holding Harry close. An image he thought was trying to get through to him. It was. He was supposed to be ice, died doing what you’re supposed to do, if you’re ministry. And now he’s sorry about what happened?
How did he know it’s people and not fawkes? What’s the matter with Dumbledore?
“Merlin’s games snapped yeh pureblood tale prophecy about Voldemort and then we’re just trying to stop his plan?”
“Suspicions have even lowered you to take this surprised moonstone and now you see Voldemort everywhere.” Dumbledore sighed.
Then Harry shouted over his shoulder at Dumbledore. The dust of a moonstone tingling in his nose.
“I’m even underage and you think it’s going awkward? No one else is that mad and hairy I reassure you.”
“In spite of everything else, Voldemort abandoned you, Harry. You see, his face been trying quick cloak magic.” Dumbledore tried to explain.
Then Hermione Granger crossing lines again by saying it’s Slughorn’s whatsoever and that’s it. They seemed dead serious on trying to stop Voldemort this year, but it wasn’t supposed to pennyfeather the end of magic!
Cruelty matters now, silly little girl she was.
What happened, yes, I think was Hermione’s guarded understanding of how to close Dumbledore’s room.
She didn’t know what’s okay anymore. Eh, I don’t blame her and that’s deathly but she can’t nonstop Harry Potter her way around.
What happened last night got something much worse form mixed ancient affairs and draw attention to the school.
“I think someone flushed lord Voldemort himself free to come forward and then, m'boy Barty perfectly capable thinks I’ll strike it down. I don’t.” she explained proudly to the old Wizard Grumble. “Because helping muggle women wear those Dementor’s socks wounds Harry's brainpower strongly.”
Dumbledore just purple from inside allowed defeat unhinged.
“Please sit down. I think we need to discuss boats.”
I found a super cool font which reminded me of some old paper ink late night journal writings. The first that came to mind, was Aidas journal and even if I don’t see her writing with such a neat handwriting xD I remade some of the pages with that font! One of the best features of the game.
Check it out. It’s called Ascension by Rinmaru-Games
Font is called Saucy Jack
Imagine just being in your own distopian world, with no people, youre walking through the supermarket to hoard any food still left.
You think about what it would be you would take with you from the supermarket, while nature outside reclaims back the land.
The animals of the zoo now free, a lion meeting your eyes on the other side of the street, because he no longer remembers what humans looked like.
You both go your own way. You saddle your bike and manouver it around the remains of cars and all the cracks in the street.
The golden rays of the sun warm your skin, the water of a small river flowing fast and strong next to you. You always stop to pick up a flower on your path, because you can. You have the time. No one judging you for it, no one questioning you. Just you and the world.
You pick up anything you find on your path that catches your eye.
After awhile you stop. The once crowded and cold city now a green distant memory on the horizon.
You take everything you gathered from your bike and leave your rusty steed behind as you walk into the forest up the hill.
The air was fresh and the greenery crunched under your feet, still wet from the morning dew. You held onto your things, as a small meadow came into view.
It was wild. Left alone for years it had finally the strength to grow anything that dared to make an appearance, no one judging it by it's beauty nor it's purpose. It had Strawberries sharing a place with Dandelions and Thistle with Poppies.
You walked past it just a little further, only to stop at the top of the small hill.
Taking a deep breath you lay down all you had gathered before you, the items from the supermarket reminding you of your old life and those from the road wild and random reminding you of what you are searching for in this new world.
Taking a deep breath you lay it on the stone before you in the grass. Spreading it out carefully.
You look over the weathered stone and you had to wipe away some dirt to see the words carved into it.
The first letter still visible to you. R. The following one thin and long could easily mistaken for a crack in the stone if it weren't followed by a P.
However, it was the name underneath it that made your movements soften.
----
Long one hehe.
I do wonder, what did anyone else gather while reading this, what did you imagine be written on the stone?
Hope you ok op!
why must people exist 😔
Sing my heart
A somewhat long lyric, poem thingy about a kind-hearted mermaid that saves a drowning sailor, only to realise that once he lures her out of the ocean, she can never return to it without drowning herself. He might have been beyond saving anyways.
-
Alarm will sound
I keep looking at the surface now
The water it only drowns somehow
How could I make that change?
-
A voice screams out
Ocean will take what is not allowed
Watching them all sinking deeper down
Death will take them all.
-
Sing my heart
I can see clearly how to break it down
I don’t know what would keep me now
I cannot return.
-
Another start
I tell you I leave the water now
There was a time I would talk about
What it would do to me
Today it was differently
You say I am what makes you complete
That was all I need.
-
Even tomorrows dawn
Can’t help forget all the sorrows drowned
I want to be wiser now
But I still feel the same.
-
A taste of you
It can’t be another dream
Watching the sky is reality
Me and you wanting to touch water now
We were so close and look at us now
Oh how have we fared?
-
Water is still
No way to know for certain now
Everything is turned upside down
No way to return anyhow
I don’t see the end.
-
Touch of skin
I feel like thousand of sunshines warm
Brightly and buzzing it keeps me in
Everything will be alright
-
Darkness comes
I suddenly see it all around
Is that mirror even allowed
To show me how wrong I was.
-
Clouds go about
Their daily routine in the sky above,
See how they fade deeper now
You laugh at me.
-
Light shines out
I can feel there is hope around
There is another day about
I was looking for this.
-
Even if you drown
I will go to the bottom now,
Turn away the oceans crown,
I know you want me to.
-
Scars go deep
I hurt in ways I should have not allowed
There is no hope that this plays out,
Yet I will stand the same.
-
Turn around
Look there goes my heart out loud
Screaming the words just to get them out:
“I should have left you in the sea to drown
I should have left you there.”
-
See me now
Trust is so easily broken down
Watch you tear down yet another vow
How could I have been so blind.
-
Drag me out
Carelessly left to the sea out now
No way to return in one piece I say
You do not listen to me.
-
I fell down
Looking towards the dark surface now
Used to be calm and complete somehow
Now you took all that I had anyhow
There is nothing left.
-
Voice shuts down
As I go sinking deeper now
I feel the water around me now
There is no way I could keep this crown
And darkness will take me down
Deeper and deeper I hear no sound.
This is the end.
Maybe I will revisit this at some point to make the rhymes a little better xD

“Selfish?”She gave a small grin hiding even more behind sharp teeth.“I have not stolen this body to end my voidless life, nor am I hiding my true self. Not all Spirits are deceitful.”Her orange eyes snatched over, fixed like a predator on it’s pray, “No, my dear, it was given to me willingly by someone very dear to me. That’s why I would fight you for it and I always intent to win.”
A g l i m p s e o f t r u t h
–
“It is not that I see myself as the chosen one, there has never been one to chose me, not until…” Her eyes tired but true for the first time, meet yours.
“The mighty ones have to endure, so that they can protect the underneath. But I have feathers in my mouth, tingling all the way down to my stomach-”
Her words don’t make any sense. "Is that what you think you do? Protect them?!"
All you see is uncertainty, for the first time she seemed conflicted in her belief and it scares you. Her eyes were pleading, searching. You wish you had answers for her.
“If I don’t, no one else will.”
*the main character of a book has a minor inconvenience*
Me: I would rather die
every time i start a new writing project i forget how much finding character names sucks smh
“realistic” anal
so @carpedm87 and i were laughing about tumblr sex ed and…
imma help you guys out a little bc tumblr has obviously scared half of y’all into thinking that anal is difficult and fanfiction porn is too clean and that if you use less than a whole cup of lube, you will die
cleaning:
have a nice, solid poop ahead of time
that’s it. you’re done
probably not something anyone cares to read about in a fanfic. ok to skip
your rectum is empty most of the time anyway
umm…. enemas sound like overkill to me personally, but i guess if you want to?
lubing:
use some, i guess. probably don’t use none
some people prefer more? some prefer less?
stretching:
idk never heard of her
condoms:
wear them irl
up to you whether you include them in fic? im not your moral compass
inserting:
relax and think about wanting the dick inside you
your body does the rest
literally, relax. if you’ve pooped poops the size of the dick, and you’ve used some lube, it’ll fit
the ol’ “one-two-dick”:
all the fingering stuff is just foreplay that feels good. pleasure helps you relax
if you don’t need it and you’re psyched about dick without it, ok to skip
you don’t have to skip it if you like it
i personally think it’s boring to read 80% of the time. other people will get squicked out if it’s skipped. write what you want
after:
sometimes your butt is sore?
sometimes it’s not?
idk, depends. neither is unrealistic
irl, wash things that went in your butt with soap and warm water
in fic, do you want to write about clean up? is it part of the story? if not, laugh at anyone that tries to shame you into including this
that’s it. that’s literally it. go write porn
Quesiton: when you’re reading original fiction, how much description of a character’s physical appearance do you expect/want?

Guess who's completely obsessed over KNY and is now writing a swap au?
Anyhow, this cane up to me, when I thought abt Kagaya as the demon king, and bein all like, platonic yandere father figure an shit
But, ig Kanao's still demon slayer, cus I can't see my girl as a demon, weirdly enough. Either that, or she's like Yushiro (minus the falling in love for Kocho, who is Tamayo now) I haven't decided yet
Gawd I just went back like five times to add more words to what was supposed to be a short intro scene. And now I wanna add more to it. Fml I'm closing my laptop for a bit.
so I was inspired by @lactoseintolerentswag to do a characterization sheet for my OC Dawn to help with my Sky AU (and for my TMNT and Sky COTL crossover)
I do have other OCs but I wanted to do her first since she is the most developed of them all
Dawn Reference sheet
Dawn’s Powers Reference sheet
Dawn’s Characteristics
STRONG SENSE OF JUSTICE AND DUTY: Dawn feels that due to her power it is her duty to protect others, and to carry out justice against evil. When she feels a sense of injustice, she will do what she can to bring justice
STUBBORN: Once Dawn has her mind set on something whether it be a small task or big mission from her sensei, she will what she can to complete the task. In the words of her brother Lloyd “once Dawn has her mind set on a task, it will be nearly impossible to stop her. You would have better luck petting a dragon and coming back alive than stoping my sister.”
FEELS ASHAMED OF HER SCAR: Dawn has a scar on her right forehead that she hides with her mask because she feels it’s a reminder of her worst memories and past experiences she does not remember. She rarely ever shows her scar to anyone but she only shows it to people she is close with, whether it be family, or friends. But occasionally when she meets someone young with a scar who feels sad about their scar, she may show hers to show that we all have scars
MAY MAKE JOKES TO COPE: Occasionally Dawn may make jokes to help her or others cope or to bond with others, these joke may range from bad dad jokes to jokes about her trauma “hahaha yah I was asleep in a crypt for who knows how long no biggy”
HAS A SMALL ANGER PROBLEM: while it can be hard to make Dawn anger, one thing that will make her rage is harm coming on to people she is close with, friends, or family. To the point where she may go after the culprit alone and fight them.
HER KINDNESS AND EMPATHY: Dawn tries her best to put herself in others shoes and see their point of view. And she also tries to lift others up emotionally and help them feel happy, she will do things like give compliments, listen to them, or give them small gifts.
LOOKS UP TO HER BROTHER: Dawn looks up to her brother Lloyd and sees him as a great leader, when on missions with him she will let him lead the missions as she feels that her leadership skills are nothing compared to her brother’s. Lloyd was also the one who taught her how to use a sword and trained her.
LOW SELF CONFIDENCE: despite having her powers and great skills as a ninja, she feels that the accomplishments she has done are nothing compared to what she has seen other people have achieved, and feels that she doesn’t have what it takes to be a great leader like her brother and sensei.
PRESSURE AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS FROM OTHERS: ever since she unlocked her powers, people have put a lot of pressure on Dawn. From total strangers to fellow Ninja Corp members, people have high expectations of her, some of it is simple stuff like hoping she does great things in the future, others seem to take it a bit far excepting her to preform almost impossible miracles to believing her to be a god of some kind. It has lead to Dawn having run ins with people trying to get her to help them or even invading her personal space. This has lead to Dawn having a fear of failure and big crowds, she feels that if she does not meet the expectations of others she will disappointed them and that she is nothing without her powers.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
• Dawn is 18 years old and is 5.5 feet tall
• unlocked her powers when she was 15 years old
• was found in a mysterious crypt 4 years ago with amnesia by researchers on an expedition near Eden, they believe Dawn may have been in there for many years but have never been able to fully estimate exactly how long. They even had to guess Dawn’s physical age based on her appearance (they guessed her to be 14 years old when she was put in the crypt
• her sensei before adopting her was old friends with the reachers who found her, so he offered to take care of her as he saw great potential in her
• while her sensei was the one who adopted her, she doesn’t really see him as a father figure due to him being quite absent because of his duties of being the leader of the Ninja Corps
• Dawn has a fear of needles
• Dawn and her sister Lilac like to read books together, her favorite genres are comedy, action, and mystery
• her nickname is Sunny, her brother and sister gave it to her when they first met Dawn
• she can be a bit of a dummy sometimes, if she’s off duty and relaxed, there is a chance she may get into some shenanigans, especially if she is around other dummies
• if in a tense situation and she can’t calm down she will freeze up and possibly have a panic attack
• has a bit of separation anxiety
•says sorry a lot
•has canonical beheaded a guy for kidnapping her siblings
• can cook some basic foods
• has dated a couple guys in the past, but the relationships ended quickly for each one after learning that they only wanted to date her due to her status and reputation, with the last one ending pretty badly to the point that she doesn’t want to date another person (until she mets a certain guy in the forest when she was 17)
ok I just want to write this down before I forgot
something I want to do for my Sky COTL and TMNT crossover is that once Dawn makes her way to the 2012 universe she helps the turtles deal with Don Vizioso, who before the events of Dawn meeting them somehow got out of prison because with him being a mafia boss he probably would have some way of pulling a few strings to get out. With him being sort of a main villain for them to deal with for a bit. Especially since honestly the whole anti mutant gas and weapons was such a interesting concept for the show, so maybe when Dawn gets to the 2012 dimension she wants to help the turtles with the issue since the whole reason she came here was to stop one of her enemies but they escaped, so she and the 2012 turtles make a deal, Dawn will help them defeat and bring justice to Don Vizioso if the turtles agree to help Dawn catch her enemy
Now after the defeat of Don Vizioso, the gang soon discovered that Dawn’s enemy is now working for Tiger Claw, who has now created a new evil clan
now things are bound to change but I really wanted to share this concept idea I have for my story, please let me know if you guys have any suggestions.
just a short thing I wrote
It was unobtainable. A simple goal. With it so close to my grasp I inch closer. When I reach my goal, it ends the chase. I'm left with everything I want, and yet now nothing.
I have no idea what this is but I found it ages ago and it's from the perspective of one of my characters (forgot which one).
Fall upon your reasons of life like clouds, And let them unscramble your muddled view. Never the angels nor the devils are here for you. Grasp those reasons with such force they create tears in your hands, As you gaze unto your future with a hazy glare. Call out the names of those you trust like a parrot chained up in an attic. In the end there's no crackers nor seeds they'll be able to spare. Command all of them to heaven and damn yourself to hell. Your eyes broken like the soul you possess. Do you fear the answer to the questions you so passionately scream into the soft light of dusk? The warmth gripping you like a hug. Cling to those reasons with all your forceful delusion, And know deep down suffering has been forced onto you.
