This summer’s hot new craze is nonconsensual body modification. All the kids are kidnapping each other and turning their friends into crimes against nature.

There are many fun reasons to have a character avoid using guns, but I think "this otherwise-awesome fighter is a really terrible shot" is an underappreciated one. Yes, they're available in my setting and would work against my enemies. No, I don't have a moral code against them or a power that makes them redundant. I just can't aim for shit!

In general IMO the more badass and hypercompetent a character is, the more they're enriched by having one skill they're just absolutely hopeless at. Terrible shot, terrible liar, terrible dancer, no poker face, no sense of direction, can't drive, can't swim, can't cook, can't read, always broke, always late, always falls for a certain trick...

this is true. I figured out recently that one of my favorite questions for fleshing out a character is "What is something they can do, but not well?"

i like a trans headcanon as much as the next guy but sometimes it really boils down to “that character has not had enough agency and/or introspective freedom in their life to have transitioned by the time we meet them in their story”

friend asked me today “can you get cancelled on tumblr” and i realized that they really have never been on here

people just aren't stealing bones from graveyards or admiting to having child slaves in the family like they used to :/

Uh oh, the player character is coming this way. Quick, engage in mindless small talk which comments on recent events or location relevant details

love the word fruitless. arguing with you is like if there was no apples involved whatsoever

you're bountiless you stupid bitch

never take for granted the moments when you’re not nauseous
