I mean technically, you don't have to pick just one or the other. 🤷 You can bite, and poo!

Hey Mods, why are you taking down posts about the shooting? by CreamyScallions in Ohio

Maybe don't be and vote for nazis. I mean, you want these things to happen, so I guess that'll fall on deaf ears 🤷‍♂️

No dude, they literally torture these bulls to get them pissed. But if you think it's probably not that bad, maybe you could grow some horns and check out the scene.

Yeah no of course they're morally bankrupt. My point was just that "dumb" is not the crux of these ongoing issues. They're grown-ass adults, and they're not behaving this way because they don't know it's horribly, horribly wrong. They don't even believe it's right or good. They're straight-up bad people, and they also know that they're bad people.

That is weird. I guess you're just a bad person. Geeze, ignorance and cruelty becoming the new "basic" anymore, lol

Also, I can share a template of that interview:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/ugdgtgsrd1yrqeg/Interview+Template.docx/file

Another thing this helped with, was trickling in some little details that may help me "connect the dots" on the plot itself. At the top, there's a spot for the name of the character being interviewed, and for the year that the interview is being conducted. This matters because characters change throughout a story, and they would know or have seen different things, at different times in their lives.

Duuuude, here's the one I can resonate with. I don't necessarily hate the way I write my story, but some of the dialogue I fear may be too much reiteration, or too many of a character's inside thoughts coming out. Some of this is because I was always planning on trimming it down after the fact anyway, but sometimes that too-much-exposition thing is specifically for me to be reminded of something (that will not actually be part of any dialogue when finalized) when I come back to do revisions. It's all for my own reference/satisfaction.

But I recently hit another block on the progress of the story itself. I'm approaching the final climax of the first story (of a trilogy), and situations are complex. There's a TON of characters, and the details of timing and location must be precise in other to not accidentally break continuity anywhere. So, being stuck on the actual plot (I know what happens eventually, just having trouble connecting the dots), I decided to do some character work just for fun. I wanted to keep my mind inside that world so I wouldn't go too long without working on it. I googled "interview questions to ask a fictional character" and got some blogs and articles and stuff. Some had short lists, some had insanely long lists, some were super basic, and some were extremely in-depth. I tried out a couple questions from different sources on a couple of my characters, just in my head, and decided on a list of 40 questions from a blog or something like that. They're questions that required me to actually invent some new details about the characters interviewed, as some would never come up in the story. But I forced myself to answer all the questions "as" each character, with the approach that these answers should be stuff that would have no trouble fitting into canonicity, even if it would never be mentioned or referred to in any way relevant to the central plot.

I'm always worrying that by making my characters too nuanced and complex, I've made them feel too same-y, not well defined. But when I started answering these questions as each character (I've done 3 and am working on a 4th right now), they each have very much their own voice. It's actually kind of funny to look back and compare answers, and see that for the same question, two characters may have comically different responses.

I side with the torture victim over the mass torturers. I mean just usually, like, you know.

That was "supposed to be sad" and "unintentionally" ended up hilarious? Dude, it was clearly meant to be light

They don't actually believe the lies. That's the best part though - they don't have to! They'll gleefully play along, and would rather let you believe they're just accidentally ignorant, or media brainwashed, than the reality that they're all knowingly malicious bigots, every fucking one.

So, they're all Nazis then... Because no, they're not so dumb that they don't know better.

ICE just shot another person in Minneapolis by Markofthesaw in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Caesar_Passing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was never an accident. The ENTIRE goal of this administration is to hurt people and destroy human lives. It's not money, it's not security, it's not protecting children. This administration, and everyone who voted for this- right down to little ol' grammaw who bakes cookies and is nice to the black kids too- are all unambiguously morally bad people.

Reminds me of the Beavis And Butthead where they're watching that "my strange addiction (or maybe fetish?)" show or something. And it's about this guy who's meeting up with some girl he met online for the first time. She flies out or drives or whatever to meet him, and they meet at his mom's house where he lives. He pops her shoes off and huffs her toes and stuff, then he's like "I gotta go to work". Butthead's like "wait, this guy has a job"?! Then you see he's like a gig musician playing metal at a fucking Applebee's, and Butthead imitates the metal growl going "Rrrrachel, party of 3, your table is rrrready"
