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.

“Believe me, I get exhausted by my own thoughts, too.”

“You’re gonna walk in there, slap on that fake smile and act like everything is okay, you hear me? No one needs to know you’re going through shit, keep it to yourself.” (This is Character A speaking to themselves in the mirror.)

“I mean, I tend to talk myself out of my irrational thoughts so at least there’s that?”

“You didn’t get enough sleep because you were all up in your head?” “Precisely. I’m fine though! That cup of coffee and Red Bull will help keep me awake and alert throughout the day. And one hour of sleep is better than three.”

“Literally do not fucking talk to me, or so God help me.”

“I’m this close to resorting to physical violence if shit continues to not work out.”

“I’m just so fucking tired of everything and need a break from it all but I can’t even get a break!”

“I miss who I was before all of this fucking bullshit I had to go through, in which I don’t think I ever deserved an ounce of.”

Character B, to Character C, about Character A: “…I think that was a cry for help?”

Just a very resigned and tired, “I don’t know what to do.”

like. ohhh my gosh when i read these i just go FERAAAAAAAAAAL 👹 and to think i’ve never even been in a relationship?? (i’m aroace loll) anyway, here you go!

cw: suggestive, sexual tension

A waking up and B’s face is so close to them, and their hand is on their forehead, and they’re just smiling in a slightly teasing way that makes A wonder if they know what they’re doing and oh gosh they feel hot all over nooow—

hand kisses with a smirk and direct eye contact and wet lips

one person grabbing the other’s chin

they don’t know the other person wears glasses and when they see them wearing them they’re just. SHOCKED. because they’re SOO PRETTY.

one person getting a new hairstyle or haircut and the other person is just thinking. woah

^^ similarly, a person who usually has it tied lets their hair down for the first time in front of another person (or vice versa) and they feel embarrassingly flustered (bonus points if they’re alone so it feels weirdly intimate)

(last appearance related one i swear) FORMAL WEAAAR, suits (pulling someone by their tie oh gosh), gowns, dresses, formalwear but with unbuttoned buttons and messy hair…

one person finds the other person begins influencing their interests and work, like they begin absentmindedly painting them, writing about characters similar to them, singing a song while suddenly thinking of them, etc. (i love it when this happens platonically, too 🥹)

sensitive spots on a person’s neck that the other discovers and won’t stop kissing and nipping at and biting—

one person making soft noises during a kiss and then blushing like crazy, and the other one notices and kisses them so much more intensely that by the end they’re pretty much the same color as a tomato

an oldie but certainly a goodie: “shut up” “make me”

^^ similarly: “ooooh you wanna kiss me so bad” , and the other person either starts angrily blushing or actually kisses them (or they angrily blush and then kiss them…)

cliché but still effective, one person trips and the other stops them from falling by holding onto their waist

“[name] kissed like they needed it to survive”

when they’re laughing together but as their laughter slowly dies down, they make direct eye contact, glance at the other’s lips, it feels like time slows down for just a minute…and then they meet in the middle

arguing and one person just shuts up the other by kissing them ; it’s just a soft, chaste one, but then the person who got kissed rushes back in

one person who’s awfully cocky keeps trying to get the other flustered by constantly firing pickup lines and saying flirty things to them, but one day they actually respond and suddenly they’re not so cocky anymore because fuck they’re hot

“pretty boy” / “pretty girl” BUT with a smirk and narrowed eyes

"Oh."

"Look at me."

"Please.

"Good boy."

"Don't follow me."

"Find me."

"I forgive you."

"Help me."

"No."

"Don't say that."

"Talk about it?"

"Forget me."

"Remember me."

"It's not over."

"Don't ignore me."

"Stay with me."

"I want to believe you."

"For you, always."

"Just... don't."

"There is no us."

"I don't need you."

"Leave me behind."

"Don't bother."

"Fear me."

"Break me."

"I don't care."

"This isn't the end."

"Please hold me."

"I'm right here."

"Wait for me."

"Kiss me."

Eleven Encouraging Words

... prompts about characters encouraging others

“You don’t have to do this alone.”

“I will always support you.”

“You are enough.”

“Never give up. You can do it.”

“You’re almost there. Keep going.”

“I believe in you and so should you.”

“Believe me. This will pass.

“This is a dream worth fighting for.”

“I’ve always admired your strength.”

“You’re worthy. Yes, you are.”

“Everything is possible when we do it together.”

Part I + Part II + Part III

"I love you! I have always loved you. It's not fair to deny my love for you now."

"You make me so angry I want to scream, and I love you so much it almost tears me apart."

"I cannot change my feelings for you, believe me I fucking tried."

"How can you not understand how much I love you?"

"I am so angry right now, I could almost forget my love for you."

"I can't do this anymore. I love you. But it's not enough."

"Don't mock me by acting so surprised. You had to know about my feelings for you."

"You make me so angry sometimes. And you make me love you all the time."

"I need to know that you're safe. Because I care about you. I love you."

"You knew how I feel about you. You have to have known."

"Can you not see that I love you? That I've always loved you?"

"I love you! Is that what you wanted to hear? Are you happy now?"

"It's not a secret that I love you. Don't act like it is."

"My love for you will truly become my downfall, I just know it."

"I fucking love you, okay?! I don't want to, but I do."

⋆ “did you miss me?”

⋆ “did you eat today?”

⋆ “did you know about it?”

⋆ “did you really think i wouldn’t be able to tell?”

⋆ “did you sleep well?”

⋆ “did you do all this?”

⋆ “did you mean it?”

⋆ “did you really say that?”

⋆ “did you ever really love me?”

⋆ “did you lie about that too?”

⋆ “did you ever stop and think about how this would make me feel?”

⋆ “did you mean for this to happen?”

⋆ “did you mean any of it?”

⋆ “did you do this just for me?”

⋆ “did you even consider that there’d be consequences to your actions?”

⋆ “did you really just call me [insert nickname/wrong name]?”

⋆ “did you come all the way over here just to say that?”

⋆ “did you realise how this would look?”

⋆ “did you know i felt this way about you?”

“We’ll always toe that fine line but never actually, like, cross it, will we?” 

“What would you say if I… Kissed you right now?” 

Those lingering hugs before you part ways that make you just… Wonder. 

“I don’t think we’ll ever be more than this.” “…And you’re sure about that?”

Those soft gazes you can feel burning into the side of your head, and when you look back at them, they’d either hold their gaze or they’d quickly look away so you don’t catch them staring at you.

The hint of jealousy in their voice and the way they act when you talk about your love interests to them. But it should be alright, because you guys are friends, no?

“Are you this touchy with your other friends?” “…No.”

“Wouldn’t it be funny if we, uh, actually got together? Not that it would ever happen, but just… You know.” 

“How far is too far?” “I honestly don’t know at this point.”

(I love this trope, especially if it has pining fhdhsjdhsh 4, 8, 10 are omg!! TAG ME:))))

"Who's the most beautiful person you've seen?" "The one that's asking the question." "What?" "What."

"You know, we could be anything." "Anything?" "Anything."

"You've been staring at Person A for ages, now. Just go tell them." "I'm not sure they like me back." "They are literally staring right back at you right now."

Person B has a shitty day of work, but they get excited the moment they see their friend, Person A, at their doorstep waiting, with a bottle of wine(or food).

"I want to be more than friends." "Best best friends?" "Stop joking for once! omg."

^^They pull them close and kiss them.

Their friends set them up on a blind date on the same day, at the same time, and at the same place. What they didn't expect was that they were each other's date.

Finishing each other's sentences(honestly, swoon over this)

"What if I said I liked you as more than a friend?" "What if I said I like you back as more than a friend, too?"

Skipping parties together, because they both hate crowded areas. And, then getting drunk and all flirty.

^^"You know you're veryyyy pretty." "You're pretty too!"
