What’s a negative thing about your character that you enjoy writing?

To be quite honest, I enjoy playing out every negative part of Bellamy. He’s not a good character. But he’s not a bad one either. That’s what I love about him - that he’s very much a gray character. My favorite thing to play out is that he tries to do right, but does wrong during that time. Like when he killed all those grounders - it wasn’t right, but he thought he was doing it for his people. And there is literally nothing he wouldn’t do if it meant helping his people. I love that Bellamy makes mistakes - sometimes really dark, deadly mistakes.
I’m one of those people who didn’t mind his s3 arc. The only problem I had with it is that his change wasn’t shown enough. I would’ve liked to see more of those three months unknown to really see where his mindset was. But I didn’t mind the arc because it’s human for people to move backwards. Yes, during s2, he’d made steps forward. But it’s okay that he’s taken steps backwards now. People are never all good or all bad - and neither is Bellamy. For s4, I’m guessing he’ll make strides forward again.
That was an answer that kind of moved from the original question but, the short answer would be: I like that Bellamy makes mistakes.
