Oh, okay…

I guess… Just maybe think about it, if you ever become comfortable enough? I can’t tell you what to think about, only that we should approach everything with truth-filled eyes.

…

Yes I did, the pastry tart metaphor was.. illuminating XDXD I loved it!

@godlyfantasy12

Here’s the thing… In the Bible, you can see many places where the word evil is used interchangeably with the word sinful. The word evil can be used for different things (sometimes with a whole different meaning entirely) but it is used to describe sin.

I would say sin is profoundly immoral and wicked. After all, we should spend…[Read more]

Insecurities.

Okay, here’s the bread and butter of it when it comes to my personal opinion –

I agree with you that they can be used as a character flaw, this is more of a tangent –

I feel like they comprise ninety-percent of character arcs in modern day YA, and I… kinda want the scales to shift? 😂 Is that just me?

Like, I…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Okay, I’m so glad we straightened that out 😅😂

That is MY bad by using that word in that way, and I apologize.

So I guess what I mean is:

Active arc: Triumphing over a sin you didn’t know you had

Passive arc: Learning you didn’t have a sin you thought you had

Does that make sense?

@godlyfantasy12

You’re fine! 😉 I don’t think you went too far, it just gave me a…new perspective.

@godlyfantasy12

OH MY GOODNESS I just realized… I think we’re each using the word “flaw” differently

I’m using it to mean, “sin”

Is that what you mean?

…

Also I’m sorry for arguing this late. I shouldn’t be going to far into this, when I’m not absolutely sure if I’ll agree with my past self in the morning XD

@godlyfantasy12

LOLOLOL 😂😂😎 There ya go, do with it what you will ❤

So…

Is there some way Zolten’s death might connect with November?

(I mean, fundamentally he’s on the same path as Ara, but it would be nice if it meant something specific to him, too)

…Maybe something to do with November’s dad? Idk.

@godlyfantasy12

*Pulls back* Okay, I’ll slow down…

First off, “influenced by others” was probably not the correct choice of word.

Being influenced by others can indeed be a flaw if you take it too far, make all your decisions based on others, etc. But that’s not what I meant. I just meant any normal influence in general. For example, it’s…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

It is very like her, which is fitting just…0_o Definitely Dark and surreal. Just a little gruesome… definitely makes it YA.

Cause totally something I couldn’t do in a Middle-grade book, lol.

Also…I don’t know if I’ll ever see tarts the same. XD

@whalekeeper

So you mean that an Active arc is when a character is overcoming their flaws and a passive one is when a character describes their own worth/I-can’t-think-of-a-better-word?

In that case I might only have one Passive character.

Flaws, flaws…how much they riddle life. Well, here’s a spiel. I used to be scared to write a flaw such…[Read more]

I thought about my whole character arc thing for a little while longer (went to the pool and mulled over it in the unfortunately cold water) and found another type which might be considered an “in-between” but is really just Passive.

I should think of better names than Active and Passive, if I’m going to be so passionate about this……[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Lol yeah ❤️

So in this book, Ara and November both have a fear of the unknown, but Ara has a more specific fear relating to her responsibilities as a leader, and November just has all that extra baggage.

Sooo all we need to do is think of inciting incidents for each of them, that have to do with their individual development!

If…[Read more]

Oooh, time for some brother pranks lol. And after this I’m good with moving on.

Magic phasing rock…..

Cool.

He’d only just gotten the hang of it by the time the fight was over. Such a shame.

But at least he could use it for…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Interesting idea! Yeah, like @godlyfantasy12, I think most of my characters are a combination of those two.

@godlyfantasy12

Yeah, absolutely. As I explained to HybridLore, I still personally don’t like to use templates, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be extremely useful, and if used correctly with a good mechanic, it can speed the process up significantly. And a template that still keeps things open as you say I think would work the best.…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

So, I know I’m butting in here, but I have a quick question.

When Ara and November left A’Grend, wouldn’t of Ara’s parents have sent, like, an adult to guard and them and stuff? Or did God (idk what He’s called in your universe) decree that they were to go alone? Or did they leave without telling anyone?

Idk it was just kind of…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Oki-doki cool! Thank you ❤

So you’ve got Lyn and Nyx in order, but Ara and November need a push…

I think it would have to be something (or TWO somethings) that kick off their character development for that book.

So what ghosts are going to challenge them in this particular book? What are they each struggling with?

Then we…[Read more]

I’m the one with Fynn in the dorm room. I just haven’t done any RPs for a while. XD
