Weak Trope: Having a character’s driving motivation be REVENGE up until the last second when they pull the “revenge won’t bring my wife/sister/town/three-eared dog back” and leave the bastard they’ve been hunting down alive.
Strong Trope: Hello! My Name! Is Inigo Montoya! You Killed My Father! Prepare! TO! DIE! *corners count rugen* Beg for your life *slashes cheek* Offer me anything I want in the world! *slashes other cheek* I WANT MY FATHER BACK, YOU SON OF A BITCH. *stabs count rugen to death*
alternatively, someone who doesnt actively seek revenge as their driving force but will gladly accept it should they get the opportunity
What if, like jade, jane caused the death of her grandfather and repressed it?
three yr old jane made poppop cookies from scratch to express how much she loved him. bc they had peanuts in them he died of asphyxiation in two minutes flat.
jane only uses Betty Crocker™️ Brand Cookie & Brownie Mix now
You know, I’ve tried writing material where the number of bisexual and gay characters present matches up with real-world demographics, but even that’s apparently enough to get folks passive-aggressively going “wow, is anyone in this setting straight?”, so basically my answer from now on is “no, not a single person in this setting is straight”.
…When a story has 5-10% not-straight people in it, a lot of straight people think “the gays are taking over.”
Let the gays take over
hc; jane crocker was already proficient in several form of martial arts by the time she was 8. she would sneak out of the house in disguise to sign up for underground martial art fighting and became champion until some of her political enemies found out and used it as way to do another assassination attempt.
concept: jane crocker has killed a lot of people. she’s just never been taught to look at them as people as much as adversaries, grunts on the way to the big bad. and this is her norm for years, and she doesn’t really think about it until she’s in her twenties and at the top of the corporate ladder.
unlike her friends and (technical) relatives, jane crocker doesn’t really grieve. she doesn’t process or sit down and pick apart the pieces. she just keeps taking bullets and keeps walking, blue eyes forward even when her feet are stuck with broken glass.
but when there’s nothing left to run from, jane only has herself to look to.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
