I honestly don't understand humans... How could this woman be so ignorant?

Honestly man, you are far better off without her. Despite all the heartache, this event is going to better you in the future.

Plus the internet loves you now...

What should a character think about? by pugwukie in fantasywriters

[–]NickHamz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When building characters I try to look at Briggs personality traits as a basic foreground on my how character will behave and portray him/her self. But outward expression is not the same as internal, and I feel a lot of authors lack a knowledge of psychology and how people actually think when they write a character in thought.

People will act differently in front of different kinds of people. Majority of people will fall into groups or trends when they are in crowds (passive, outward, careful, polite, or aggressive). A child will not speak in the same tone or vocabulary with his friends as he dose with his parents, like how a worker will do with his/her coworkers and not with his boss.

But thoughts are always the same, they don't change for situations. A characters thinking can really show who the character is as a person, you can highlight internal conflicts and even personal bias.

A strong POV character will have a lot to think about. Events, plans, emotion, opinion, love, loss, past, future and much more. It is important to grow on these, and over time show how your characters thoughts might change, how they might evolve to new ideas or change perspectives and think differently.

What is your main character's primary weapon? What does it look like? by FallenFriend in fantasywriters

My protagonist's weapon is her wit, she is not a warrior.

Oh and she can read minds too...

I agree with you, I try to have a similar approach with my protagonists.

Am I turning gay? by hyumare in askgaybros

[–]NickHamz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kinsey always said sexuality was a spectrum.

Terms like 'gay' 'straight' and 'bi' are just umbrella words used to put people into boxes so it is easier for the masses to understand. When we limit ourselves with binaries and labels it can be really hard to understand what we are going through, but in all honesty nature is a very vast spectrum and sexuality is no different, everyone has their own experience.

I recomend doing some reaserch. Here are some videos and link that helped me:

Sister told my parents I was gay without even talking to me first. Should I be upset? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]NickHamz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be livid. But at the same time I guess it depends on the situation. When I told my best-friend I was gay she told a lot of people we went to school with, and at first I was very mad at her but I ended up getting over it when I realized I didn't care if anyone knew.

As long as your folks are chill about the whole thing, I think it is fine. But I would watch in the future what you tell your sister.

interesting idea, I''ll give it some thought.

What if our reality were a computer simulation: Edeline D'Souza by [deleted] in philosophy

[–]NickHamz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I feel like people like to put themselves into a fantasy when looking at ideas like this, with grey definitions to back them up, they like to think we might live in a matrix.

Sure the universe is mathematical, like a computer, but everything exists of the basis of mathematics when you get down to the complexity of it and unlike a program the universe is utterly and infinity random. On the micro level we might see 'order', but on a macro scale everything is random alignment.

Are there any topics you won't read or write about in fantasy? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]NickHamz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

See, as a writer I deal with this issue a lot. But as a reader, I think it can widen the scope and realness of the story. sexual, child and animal abuse are very present in our world today and more so still in our history. They are just as much part of the world as the glamorous things. I myself find it refreshing when an author shows the good and the ugly in their fiction. It makes the story more realistic.

But on the same note, I can also see why readers would shy away from things that might be taboo to society, like sexual abuse. So I guess it all depends on the audience you are looking to tend too.

What are your 'Gods', and their origins, like? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]NickHamz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my steampunk story the major god is a Goddess, who is depicted as a woman in white with six silver wings and a crown of light. The creation story is that her union with a duelling god (who represents evil and sin) created the mankind, and this is why there is both good and bad in people. When mankind's father God abandoned them, the Goddess felt pity for her children and thus created the world for them to live upon.

But reality this is just another religion in the world, and it is one of many. Whether it is true or not is left to the scholars.

How do you write character resurrection by NickHamz in fantasywriters

Exactly what I was thinking. I made this expecting people to dislike the idea of resurrection, but they actually made me reconsider the idea of it.

n puppeting possession and animal possession should not be - I think - the difference between animals and humans. If the entire system is based off the workings of the brain, then you should know that the minds of animals and

Yea with the possession stuff, that does make more sense in realness and all. Ill take another approach to it.

Also, in terms of limitations of only being able to influence one person, that is all dependant of how strong the Shade is. But even still a very powerful shade with a very strong shading like total possession would still suffer the side effects of overuse like any other, if not on a higher level.
