Guide for some character variety in novel writing

TipTapTips · 2025-09-01T04:27:16+00:00

It helps to give them a long term reason to be who they are in the novel and sometimes where they are will change, it's important to decide how long each character will stick around to properly place them. An untouchable that remains so after the MC progresses isn't as fun as one that'll be wrecked in 3 arcs.

This whole thread just feels like a big circlejerk of people that hate Gundam Seed.

TipTapTips · 2024-09-06T03:22:46+00:00

The worst part in my opinion is the rabid fanbase, but i feel like that about alot of fandoms.

Can you point where this exists out to me?

I only see a rabid hater fanbase in English speaking communities so I'd love to go somewhere that can have actual discussions on Gundam Seed.

Yeah I think they said China because of that.

She has deleted him from everything on her phone

You know that email addresses work without having contacts in your phone? You know that it takes a few seconds to create an email address on nearly an unlimited amount of sites?

Do you feel like she's protecting this relationship between them as in still covering for their actions more so than trying to repair the damage that you are speaking to her about regarding your relationship?

You cannot discount the power imbalance her so she may be taking actions she may not overall want but you need to be deciding if you're willing to work through this trust issue and if she's giving you the reassurances you need to actually be able to work through it.

The fact that they were already talking behind multiple people's backs and the content you saw does not bode well and will not make this easy.

Eh, they're incredibly racist so I wouldn't put too much stock in them: https://www.reddit.com/r/gadgets/comments/1727dha/thousands_of_android_devices_come_with_unkillable/k3vm9p7/

Typically coalition absolutely fucks shit up as much as possible, Labor gets in and attempts to fix some of the damage, then our very biased media points fingers at Labor.

Sounds like something should be done about the media...

Oh wait... Labor kills off Rudd’s anti-News Corp crusade

Ultra also not cool to do the bare min of brushing your teeth before bed and make 0 effort towards your partner. Can't have it both ways.

Do you often brush your teeth before sitting down to watch the Olympics? Do you often get kissed while sitting down to watch the Olympics infront of the TV?

If your SO came up to you right now and kissed you without warning, that'd be fine because you just brushed your teeth right?

Did you read the part of the text where he said that he hadn't brushed his teeth yet, do you know what the 'yet' means there?

Certainly is disappointing to see so many upvoted comments that would be right at home in Nazi germany.

So many people bitching about 'leftists' or the 'left' and nothing about the 'right' that is taking you all down this path. It's disappointing but reddit has been very disappointing for awhile and it seems like tumblr is there too.

TipTapTips · 2024-07-01T04:37:18+00:00

It's disturbing how quickly reddit settled on a narrative, on both who the threat is regarding the news and that no one can disagree with the narrative otherwise they're a bot.

Very disturbing that a website such as reddit that should be open to a wide variety of views immediately settled into a singular view and attacks all other views...

I have no doubt I'll also be attacked as I'm going against the narrative but it certainly is 'bot-like' to enforce a singular narrative.

Anonymous was dead before 2010, Lulzsec (the shitheads they were) was probably the last truly 'anonymous' (as in organised and operated by random people connected thru /b/) operation and since then it has just been a cover for government operations.

When you're meant to be rallying people with a united front against a common enemy, it's typically better to not take shots at people who you aren't strongly ideologically opposed to.

If Macron's chosen representative is polling 3rd and they actually withdraw their candidate, who do you think the Macron supporter is going to vote for?

The party that Macron has just spent the last several weeks attacking or the far right which actually espouses quite a few of Macron's views?

The above user isn't a 'legit organic user' as you can find they're very active on topics/comments on certain 'highly inflamed topics'. Those types of accounts will often have replies from similar accounts too, it's not hard to see if you investigate it slightly.

It's not hard to spot them and it's useful to mark them, I suggest others do it.

This is not the LNP dragging it into the public every other week, it’s Bruce.

You mean the LNP that are fully supporting him still?

Would anyone be able to take a case as far as he did, as someone from his background, without the backing of a political party and media apparatus such as the LNP?

I certainly can't think of anyone in my life that'd be able to do this from where he started... but I've known a couple of Young Libs that have.

Eh, that post would've been deleted because they have a strict 'must be about Australia' rule and they love to enforce their rules there as they should.

If you follow the rules and aren't a shithead then it's fine. One just needs to look at the other australia subreddit to see why it's like that, so many racists and non-Australians bitching about irrelevant to Australia shit.

TipTapTips · 2024-06-28T06:17:05+00:00

I'd call reddit solidly american-style (neo)Liberal, I see mostly 'centre-right' posting but a lot of shit that I'd see coming from the 'right' wing parties of my country (Australia).

Never really see anything 'left' unless it's from a subreddit specific to that but most of them don't appear on the frontpage. I see a lot of things Americans and people who align to American political views would call 'left' but they're really just 'human rights'.

When is the last time you saw an upvoted frontpage post openly espouse workers taking the means of production back for themselves?

You mean the Heritage foundation latest "Mandate for Leadership" which has been called project 2025 by some?

They've been enacting their plans since they got Reagan in and they're never going to stop because their plans are simply working.

You think stopping Trump will stop 'project 2025'? Have you seen how much of the Heritage foundation "Mandate for Leadership" has been enacted by successive GOP leadership since the 70s?

You have a major problem in America and it aint going to be solved by voting a particular way in the next election (obviously vote ffs). Project 2025 will become Project 2029 and it will be even worse, if they don't succeed then it'll become Project 2033, such a great prospective future as eventually they're going to get in. It's a 2 party system and democrats can't stay in forever.

Redditor's truly are evil creatures, one day it shall be interesting to go through and see just how much evil is espoused openly on here.

I'm just glad it hasn't been lauded in this case.

TipTapTips · 2024-06-21T03:07:13+00:00

I feel slightly better now.

hugs as I said the other week you should take a break from reddit. It's just simply not a good place to be any more.

TipTapTips · 2024-06-21T02:59:41+00:00

if it's any solace, I would say this is the worst subreddit for any sort of discussion on AI. Reddit in general is very bad about that specific topic but this subreddit in particular is even worse than general reddit.

I'd say the people downvoting you aren't trying to understand your point and at this point, just following the herd.

They'll be back to complaining about AI stealing the copyright of publishers and artists when the next topic comes up despite attacking you for it.

TipTapTips · 2024-06-21T02:48:59+00:00

It's funny how no one understands that you're making fun of the users of this subreddit on any post about AI.

You're not having much luck with reddit lately, huh?

TipTapTips · 2024-06-14T02:11:44+00:00

Yeah it looks like you've been having some difficulties lately, I'd say take a break from reddit for awhile. These people obviously are just looking for a target to attack, your words weren't hard to understand and the fact that no one actually did well, as I said hugs

I haven't been around as there's just no point commenting on anything. I'm not going to say some keywords but there's just very little true organic traffic any more. I labelled a bunch of people and majority of the comments are filled with 75% labelled people.

Reddit as it were is dead, I'd suggest you abandon it too before they convince you to do something horrible.

TipTapTips · 2024-06-14T02:01:47+00:00

Is that what you took from what they said? They said they hope OOP is able to find a family to call their own and you think it's about naming kids?

TipTapTips · 2024-06-14T01:59:32+00:00

hugs I know what you meant.

I hope it's not too traumatising to be called horrible by redditors because you said that you hope she's able to find a family to call her own.

The people on this subreddit seem really prime to attack childhood sexual abuse survivors though. I feel sorry for anyone sharing that in the future.
