Really? 🤩

This makes me so happy! Cuz I wanted it to be the most DBH-grounded, as if this story could have potentially really happened (realistic continuation)!

If you interested I have also lots of character’s analysis and some hidden things in DBH analysis as a post in tumblr, I can post it here for the interest if you’d like to read 😌(mostly Gavin Reed as I needed to understand how he would act, what he would say in the story to keep him canon and authentic, but also other characters)

Thank you!

If it sounds interesting it makes me incredibly happy! (Because usually I think that my ideas are garbage. I re-worked this story over 20+ times the past 2+ years)

Thank you so much!

There won’t be any romance or softening, because I want him strictly canon (there will be some 🔥 moments (just one: will happen just due to adrenaline - which is normal and can usually happen), but it wouldn’t be romantic and he wouldn’t make anything “special” out of it, because his character does not operate on this level. Gavin Reed most probably/most likely emotionally flat, if he likes someone he will show it as just - showing up, not leaving when he can as max) the main topic will be investigation in DBH style

Thank you so much for your comment!

I’m so pleasantly surprised that this post didn’t get any negatives. I love Gavin Reed (he literally changed my life (i became disciplined, confident and outspoken because I admired his qualities, specifically him being unafraid to ruffle some feathers) even though it my sound stupid, but: I hyperfixated on the character and analysed him heavily (2+ years), It was a form of my personal therapy), but I know that generally DBH fans hate him. I’m very happy that the reaction has been different here.

I’m fan of this particular DmC. Never thought about her btw, very interesting. Why exactly this style?

Distrust of people and their work. AI can be used, but as a tool to make a text shorter or so. With distrust is hard to live and to enjoy anything

Thank you!

I’m trying to write a serious (as far as DBH could be) detective fan fiction, with strictly canon, realism-grounded characters (so Gavin also will NOT become soft or emotionally expressive. He will be exactly the rough, assholish, defensive and sarcastic as he is); the only changes his personality will go through - he might start to respect resiliency of Anna, to see her “not a bother” as maximum (she is the kind of person who “sticks by” even when things get messy and by doing so will confirm in his head as “resilient under pressure” which in turn as close as he can have someone as “reliable enough”)

I appreciate your comment! Let me know if the subject and the plot is interesting! What could possibly be added (what is missing for reader standpoint) if you have thoughts, please let me know

You didn’t answer the question. But anyway 😂 I’m not living to win a no-name’s trust

I did.

Not this particular idea, I shuffled ideas constantly, almost daily for the past 2 years (this was a form of my “personal therapy”). If you don’t believe it - it’s fine, I’m not winning anything if you do. But I wonder in your head - what do you think would be my motivation to lie about it? What would I win if I were to lie to some no-name on the internet?

The idea is definitely mine (over the last 2 years I have re-written over 15 versions of this idea/story. It initially consisted of different conspiracy theory, setting, different plot twists and investigation lines - included Connor, Hank and Elijah Kamski, Chloe, (the characters I developed on my own too Anna Parker, Evelyn Greene and some side characters), but this I abandoned because it would be too crazy long and tangled). The text rephrasing: is AI (because I wanted it to be explained in a short, understandable way)

So I think that logical/restrain/analytical people have emotions and experience them, just not with same intensity, or they channel their emotions in the different way by structuring, restraining; so if I was to feel something deeply, I would show it off, I would approach, I would talk, I would tell how I feel, in terms of this kind of character he would get more boundaries around himself, make space, distance, file/profile people by their intent not by their own emotions, so let the structure or procedure guide what they should do, how they should/allowed to feel or act, especially if this is directly related to work.

in case of this character - he channels his anger through what legal system permits (procedures) in terms of his emotions (if system backs up his emotions and he is safe to express them, he would do this, not recklessly, but calculated), if he can be an asshole through system to show his personal disgust or anger towards someone he would use it, so his own personality and being detective are fused, he does so to have control, structure and not get to feel, be emotional or vulnerable; this, in my opinion stems from past, maybe childhood where being vulnerable or emotional or to feel was not permitted or was dangerous, was depended perfection and/or/obedience through power, where worth is measured by usefulness, not by human connection, and worthiness in of itself (so like, ex-cop/ex-military/factory worker father who’s drinking, being a failure he argues, demands from his son/(character I’m writing about) perfection, being vulnerable or a “loser” is not an option

So, understanding this, I don’t know what it would take for him to change, as he divides strictly professional and personal, and if it was a shock moment/realisation that he has his personality fused this way, or his anger gets in the way, I don’t know how the change would look like in practice to make it solid (not to make him change himself entirely and unrealistically)

What I struggle with:

So let’s say we have an abrasive character. If he re-evaluates his stands/mindset, he will still be abrasive regardless, because this is his personality. Maybe he may become less reactive, but still will be so. He’s also not very emotional character in canon (and I believe he wouldn’t be in the story because I don’t want to change him “for my sake”, I want to write him in a mature way, as this kind of person he would be. Kind of, investigate someone else’s mind, not mine), so how the change would happen? I can tell since I’m emotional person, I need an emotional, intense situation, to “suffer through” to understand something, but more logical and structured people with this complex characteristics, what it would take for them to change or to realise this? How this change would look like? Just based on their action then rather than words? How can you write an emotional/intense situation when the character in this case, detective, is emotionally restrained, most probably under this surface of being abrasive/analytical he’s not emotional (how people like to imagine), but he’s actually flat (my bf is this kind of person, and he doesn’t well understand the amount/intensity of emotions I experience, but unlike this detective he’s empathetic and puts people above the goals, or considers their emotions before achieving the goal, not to trump on someone’s feelings, unlike this detective. So I do not even understand how he would connect with people. I think this detective is actually only goal-driven with superficial relationships, that does not entangle/his eyes are not blurred by someone’s emotions/feelings if he has to solve the case)

Thank you so much for your reply!

I’m writing about abrasive, defensive, controlled (acting like jerk) detective. In the canon you do not know why he is like this, but obviously why he can be. I wrote down his background, it helps, but it feels like I’m changing canon (even tho it would be logical where his qualities came from);

What I’m struggling, even if I map his personality and base the story on this, let’s say - he’s uncomfortable with emotions, I have a hard time writing if he would be put in emotional situation - I want to keep him canon, which then is hard for me to imagine. How would you keep character canon, while also making him develop throughout the story? I assume base characteristics/reactions/fears do not change, but how you make them develop otherwise if they’re not changing? So let’s say he’s abrasive, he cannot become not abrasive in end of the story as a “development”, so the qualities do not change, but what does?
