This Is What Happens Constantly In My Brain And Why I Havent Posted Any More Short Stories Than The Original

This is what happens constantly in my brain and why I haven’t posted any more short stories than the original one.

Or added anything to canon/main novel.

My writer brain: Write something

Me: Which wip?

My writer brain: None of them.

Me: Do you have a new wip idea?

My writer brain: No

Me: Then what am I supposed to write?

My writer brain: Write something

Character Question 6

Strongest character trait? Weakest character trait?

Bella - she learns incredibly quickly. It's probably not technically a character trait, but it's something she has a lot of pride with. Not that she'd be very open about it outside of her minuscule social circle. She loves learning new things and perfecting skills.

This is somewhat of a disadvantage when it comes to more emotional parts of life. She is so used to having a practical outlook, genuine social interactions elude her. She gets along well with her family, but she spent a lot of time holed up in her room with various projects; and she was shy at school, taking a long time to come out of her shell and make friends.

Freddie - his passion is unrivaled. He loves all his projects and will devote everything he had to them. He cares deeply about the few things he has room for in his slowly warming heart.

He is SO stubborn, it's kind of ridiculous. He will not give up unless there's no other option. He has worked on experiments until he has run out of money to buy more containers and chemicals. He will argue until he is sent out of the room. It can be a little destructive. Don't pick a fight with him unless you have duct tape and rope, he won’t shut up otherwise.

Zach - he is very chivalrous. He believes strongly in standing up for what's right and sticks up to his beliefs. He is protective and defensive of things close to his heart. Just generally a softie pretending to be tough.

Unfortunately, he will put up defenses rather quickly. He has many fronts for different situations and, as previously mentioned, he will guard his heart and the things close to it with his life. Basically. He doesn't truly open up willingly or quickly.

Character Question 8

How do they react to praise? How do they react to criticism?

Freddie: he will criticize you right back! He doesn't take negativity towards him well and gets very defensive, lashing out before it starts to hurt. If the criticism comes from someone he respects, he will pick apart whatever is being criticized and improve it tenfold.

He preens under praise. He will flaunt whatever was complimented for days. Don't flatter him too much - his body isn't strong enough to hold up his big head.

Zach: he will immediately try to fix whatever is criticized. He'll drop whatever he's doing and do his best to remove the flaws.

He takes compliments very lightly. He'll say thanks, but it'll take a lot for the intent and sincerity to sink in. 

Bella: She will work tirelessly until she improves whatever is criticized. Sleepless nights, days shut up in her room, she won't rest until it's perfect. She'll work until burnout and then won't make anything for weeks since she's so exhausted.

She'll read very deeply into praise. She takes it better than Zach, but only after analyzing the wording, the tone, and the situation on which the praise was given.

If anyone who's liked my writing, go appreciate my friend! Briar is a phenomenal writer with incredible characters.

Hopefully we'll be able to share our many, many AUs, Where our characters create much angst and chaos.

hello! welcome to my writing blog, which will be full of my writing (of course) and the hoards of characters I have created. I am a book nerd who doesn’t get enough sleep, and I am a jumble of chaos who rarely has time to write but loves to anyway.

my story is called Crown of Flowers, which I sometimes call CoF for short. however, for fun, I mostly refer to it as my cof(fee) story because I am constantly drinking coffee. I will give a brief description of my story soon, as well as the cof(fee) characters, who I love.

my cof(fee) story is not the only story idea I have, so I will be posting about lots of different things. also! @apocalypsewriters (eve) is my friend, and she’s iconic! she has posted a lot about her characters, and you should check out her page!

anyway, if you like angst, found family, lgbtq+ characters, and if you would like to see someone having fun while developing characters and juggling so many new ideas, then I would love it if you followed!

xoxo!

Character Question 3

Do they ever put on airs?

Bella: ABSOLUTELY!! Her entire social life is faked to some degree. She is not socially competent at all, so all her charisma is learned and calculated. This unfortunately has led to some awkward mishaps when someone doesn't react according to plan, which results in a breakdown of some sort. Either she will go completely silent in the situation and/or retreat as soon as she can and/or have a minor meltdown in her room, cursing herself for not putting more days into her education before throwing herself into more research with a new fire.

Freddie: no way, no how, nuh-uh. He is not changing himself so someone of lower intelligence can deal with him more comfortably. He will act however he pleases thank you very much. He will attempt to mask his childishness at times which generally fails since he is nine.

Zach: also YES. He is a people pleaser. (forgoing details that are in the upcoming chapter which is slowly coming together. He was scarred a bit which involved his people-pleasing antics to be amped up. Everyone thinks they know him, but if they take a moment to think about it, they know nothing about his personal life. He is charismatic, he is sporty, he's got good sportsmanship, he will support you almost no matter what. But his favorite color, his address, his room decorations, details about his parents, his idols, his preferences in his friend group? A complete mystery.

I figured I'd put this as a post in case anyone wants to see it slightly bigger.

A few facts about this, for anyone interested

1. This took me almost 4 hours to do and I'm still not sold on it. I'm pretty new to digital art and don't really draw much

2. Zach is holding on to Bella's arm casually

3. Freddie is trying to get out of the headlock

4. Zach is the only white one in the group (I'm doing facts about the actual characters now cos why not)

5. Bella is half Hispanic and half Austrian

6. Freddie is half Thai, half German

7. Bella's tool belt is a permanent part of her ensemble (except of course my one other drawing of her) and is the only thing she allows herself to do that is outside what is socially expected of her in public
