Charloft - Saturday & Monday
Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.
- Twelfth Night , William Shakespeare
When you’re looking for love and find it, then it’s great. It’s like feeling a little bit of relief because you finally found someone who will care for you and love you as you deserve to be loved. Of course, if you’re looking too hard and desperately, you may end up settling for a person who, in the end, isn’t right for you and may hurt you.
However, if you aren’t looking for love and it surprises you, it’s wonderful. You were never expecting to meet the person who would be great for you, the person who would complete you, because maybe you didn’t believe in it. However, if you manage to find that anyway, that is the most precious thing in the universe.
Ok, admit it. Just how angsty ARE your characters?
For today's Munday please discuss when bad things happen to good characters. (or not so good characters) How do you feel about drama and tragedy? If you like it, why is it fun and interesting? How much is too much? Do you prefer happier folks? Does other people's angst ever annoy you?
Oh good lord. I have so many characters that I roleplay that going into them all here would possibly drive you insane. It would break your brains, I swear. I have FAR too much time.
Most of them do have some sort of angst to them, some more than others. I try to create characters that, in some way, have something that they need to complete in their lives, and it can ride them. I do have to have all of my characters to have some conflict in their lives. If everything is perfect, then they very quickly get boring.
There is a balance between characters having some angst and characters being nothing BUT angst. I do love lots of angst in my characters lives. (Some of them think of me as a vengeful god! *laughs*) However, I do get aggravated at characters when they do nothing but wallow in their misery like any real person can do from time to time if you let them. So I look to find a balance. Some do have quite a bit more in the way of issues than others.
