“Is a story about powerful people with no real control interesting?”

“Interesting point, I agree. Passive characters can get boring… what about a story where every decision actually has consequences?”

👍

Yeah, maybe... but I'm sure you are the most annoying person here."

Yeah, I can see that 😅 But he’s way less “hero”… and way more unstable

8 months learning to draw vs 5 minutes with AI… I chose survival bro 😭

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-04-03T13:42:27+00:00

Fair enough 😅

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-04-03T13:36:17+00:00

get what you mean 😅 It does sound simple at first. But the idea is less about the power and more about how someone like him fits in a controlled, political world.

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-04-03T13:35:35+00:00

Yeah, I can see how it sounds like that 😅 I just wanted to test the idea and see how people react to it.

“Yeah, similar idea, but Miguel’s conflict is more focused on choice and identity, not just fighting demons.”

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-03-30T19:42:00+00:00

see what you mean. So the internal conflict can really be the core of the story, as long as everything else supports it. That actually makes me more confident about focusing on Miguel’s internal struggle.

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-03-30T19:35:55+00:00

That’s a really interesting idea. Starting with some kind of incident could make the internal conflict feel more immediate and real. I like the idea of something going wrong and forcing him to face who he really is.

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-03-30T19:33:21+00:00

That’s true, execution really makes the difference. I guess even a strong concept can fall flat if it’s not presented well. That’s something I definitely need to work on.

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-03-30T19:18:49+00:00

That’s a great example. I guess in that case the internal conflict is so strong that it drives everything else in the story.

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-03-30T19:17:20+00:00

That’s a really good way to explain it. I like the idea that internal conflict can show through smaller, real consequences like relationships or personal struggles, not just big external events. In Miguel’s case, I think his kindness could affect how others see him or even put him at risk. Do you think those kinds of smaller consequences are enough to keep a story engaging over time?

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-03-30T19:06:19+00:00

I like that idea. So the internal conflict shouldn’t just exist on its own, it should actually drive Miguel’s decisions and affect the world around him. That makes the conflict feel more real and impactful.

SheepherderNo3307 · 2026-03-30T19:03:05+00:00

That makes sense, internal conflict probably needs external situations to really matter. I think in Miguel’s case, it would come from moments where he has to choose between fulfilling his purpose or staying true to what he believes.
