You ever read a book and think “this character would survive maybe five minutes in a real conversation”? Yeah. Let’s avoid that. Here’s how to make your fictional friends feel real:
Even if it’s small. Even if it’s stupid. Every character—from your MC to the one-line barista—should want something. A promotion. Revenge. A nap. World domination. That want shapes how they act.
Humans are messy. Let your characters be brave and terrified, kind but petty, loyal but deeply in denial. That tension? That’s where the magic lives.
If your character is right all the time, they’re either boring or a liar. People mess up. Let your character mess up in ways that feel true to them, not just to move the plot.
Quippy one-liners are fun, but what’s going on underneath? What are they afraid to say out loud? What thoughts would they take to the grave? That’s what makes a character feel alive.
Not everyone cries when sad. Some get mean. Some go quiet. Some rearrange their bookshelves obsessively. Find their emotional language.
You don’t need a 12-page trauma dump to make a character real. Drip in bits of their past when it matters. Let it shape them quietly.
Everyone shouldn’t sound like you. Think about how your character talks. What words do they overuse? Do they ramble? Are they blunt? What don’t they say?
tl;dr: believable characters aren’t perfect—they’re specific. They’ve got fears, flaws, favorite snacks, weird opinions, and conflicting goals. Make them messy. Make them human.
not me tryna scroll to the bottom of the blog
i think its impossible, everytime i try i end up accidentally closing out of it somehow so i will just have to guess how people begin their first interactions...
my question is why call forks and stuff utensils and they're widely known as just UTENSILS and then someone turns right around and says 'writing utensil' like how come that gets a well known specific
why isnt everything a utensil then???
electronic utensil uhh sitting utensil sleeping utensil????? walking utensil
if you're gonna do it at least do it all the way
"you need to listen to your brother talk about his interests and entertain him"
oh, but when i want to tell you guys about history or do flag trivia or show you something related to that suddenly im obnoxious about my interests and i never stop talking about them and no one wants to hear about it?
you know, have favoritism all you want, but at least pretend its not as bad. you get mad at me for having a discord server with people i dont know but at least when theyre not really sharing my interest THEY STILL GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT I SAY.
