EXACTLY! See, I think it’s good to show that side of humanity – I think a lot of people who turn to evil do have trauma or a lot of hurt in their past, and choosing to follow these desires give them a sense of control over their lives. It’s interesting to think about how if circumstances had been slightly di…[Read more]

“Thanks Snake-Punk but apparently I’m good on your coin.” Was that blind guy laughing at him? He was, wasn’t he? He seemed to scratch the scars under his blindfold when he was nervous. Oh well.
“Of course. I’m incredibly generous.” Nathair smirked as if he’d totally planned that. He took a sip of his drink and it burned all down his throat – th…[Read more]

Before mentally unstable group one could blow each other up, Arsene threw flash powder between them. “Hey now, break it up you three beacons of chaotic energy!”
White flash powder lit up in the air, catching everyone off guard. When the micro-explosion settled, Arsene grinned at them. “There, now that I have you attention, I would like someone to…[Read more]

@calidris I pretty much agree with everything that you just said there. Especially about how moral issues are being sanitised and that people like to make the assassin character ‘cool’ but not the drug dealer. On example is an anime I watched recently vinland saga, it has a character who is considered to be the fan favourite because he’s morally…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown I have a few opinions on this!
So, I think I should start this off by saying that in general, people often seem to use the term “morally gray character” to refer to a likeable character with bad morals. You could have two characters – say, an assassin or master thief – and depending on the way they are written, they…[Read more]

(btw I love how Leana flopped on the bed like Alessio lol @kimlikesart X)
Alessio tensed the moment something hooked along Sir Scary’s ankles and yanked him down – tugging Alessio with it. He sprang with the pull and dropped in a crouch on the other side of Sir Scary.
“What’s going on boys?”
“He started it.” Alessio accused with exaggera…[Read more]

“Hey Ax-Punk. Which of these coins will buy me whatever Snake-Punk’s having?”
I get two responses – namely: “I’ll share mine if you ask nicely.” And Ax-Punk jabbering with the bartender over my coins.
“Don’t look at me like that. I ain’t gotta clue. That last fellow left something odd as well.”
Well, they’re stamped with the images of the consu…[Read more]

He was seriously standing over him. Is this guy honest?
Granted, Alessio falling on him didn’t feel great, but that didn’t hinder him. Pulling the trigger on his sheath, Hades launched the Muramasa into the man. The pommel hit him in the groin, but didn’t do enough damage. The armor absorbed it. But Hades followed this attack with a kick in the…[Read more]

Hi so I wanted to get opinions on the morally grey character archetype. Its a pretty big deal in the fantasy genre, particularly in YA – which isn’t exactly a good thing in my opinion? Let me explain.
I have no problem with morally grey characters in general. In fact I’m all for them. I think its important to portray the human psyche and the eff…[Read more]

But the woman only said, voice tight, “Don’t feel. It will only hurt in the end.” Leana’s smile faded a bit.

Something warm enfolded Leana. Thick. Nice. She sniffled and glanced up to see a face above her. Almost frightened with uncertainty.
Silence stretched, but Leana tried to smile at her in thanks, meeting the woman’s eyes.
But the woman only said, voice tight, “Don’t feel. It will only hurt in the end.”
Leana’s smile faded a bit. True. Memor…[Read more]
