Write Characters Who Feel Dangerous (Even If They’re "Good")

╰ Make their unpredictability a feature, not a bug

A dangerous character isn’t just the guy with the gun. It’s the one you can’t quite predict. Maybe they’re chaotic-good. Maybe they’re lawful-evil. Maybe they’re smiling while they’re plotting the next five ways to ruin your day. If the reader can’t tell exactly what they’ll do next — congrats, you’ve made them dangerous.

╰ Give them a weapon that's personal

Anyone can have a sword. Yawn. Give your character a weapon that says something about them. A violin bow turned garrote. A candy tin full of arsenic. Their own charisma as a leash. The weapon isn’t just what they fight with, it’s how they are.

╰ Let them choose not to strike and make that scarier

Sometimes not acting is the biggest flex. A truly dangerous character doesn’t need to explode to be terrifying. They can sit back, cross their legs, sip their coffee, and say, “Not yet.” Instant chills.

╰ Layer their menace with something else, humor, kindness, sadness

One-note villains (or heroes!) are boring. A dangerous character should make you like them right up until you realize you shouldn’t have. Let them charm. Let them save the kitten. Let them do something that makes the eventual threat feel like betrayal.

╰ Show how other characters react to them

If every character treats them like a nuclear bomb in the room, your reader will, too. Even if your dangerous character is polite and quiet, the dog that won’t go near them or the boss who flinches when they smile will sell the danger harder than a blood-soaked axe.

╰ Make their danger internal as well as external

It’s not just what they can do to others. It’s what they’re fighting inside themselves. The anger. The boredom. The itch for chaos. Make them a little bit scary even to themselves, and suddenly they’re alive in ways pure external "baddies" never are.

╰ Don't make them immune to consequences

Even the most dangerous characters should get hit—physically, emotionally, socially. Otherwise, they turn into invincible cartoons. Let them lose sometimes. Let them bleed. It’ll make every moment they win feel twice as earned (and twice as scary).

╰ Tie their danger to what they love

Real threats aren't powered by anger; they're powered by love. Protectiveness can be feral. Loyalty can turn into violence. A character who's dangerous because they care about something? That's a nuclear reactor in a leather jacket.

╰ Remember: danger is a vibe, not a body count

Your character doesn’t have to kill anyone to be dangerous. Sometimes just a glance. A whispered rumor. A quiet, calculated decision to leave you alive — for now. Dangerous characters control the room without ever raising their voice.

Wishing you the best !!!!!!!!

hey, guys. I've held off on tagging because of the difficulty of en-masse tagging on mobile vs desktop (where i make most of my posts), but i figured it's about time to update you all

faerie's dawn is unfortunately going to have its return delayed further. on tuesday, I broke my ankle on the way to a café to work on writing. i got surgery yesterday (wednesday) and am thankfully in much less pain now though that's probably in good part due to painkillers lol.

still, i need to keep my ankle elevated to help it heal quicker. that—as well as all the pain meds i'm on, most likely—makes it next to impossible for me to write and further my progress on faerie's dawn. so, as much as i hate to break this news, i'm going to have to push back the return of faerie's dawn yet again.

if you'd like to support me, i have a gofundme where you can do so. similarly, i'm going to keep that much more updated on the progression of my recovery. not only is it much easier to update on there, but my low energy levels don't make it easy for me to update across multiple platforms.

another friend of mine, neila, has been kind enough to both help promote my gofundme and keep updates on the progress of my recovery on bluesky as well.

thank you for your patience, and i'm sorry to break this news to you all 😅

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

Headcanon that Kyra is an absolute menace when it comes to work
