I'm Always Taken Aback When Someone Asks Me If I Have A Boyfriend Because I've Convinced Myself So Much

Pseudo inverse matrix 😭 sometimes I wonder if IM the one in clown college

Good morning, you have to be the thing that saves you

it’s so frustrating that every little action or thing I say could irrevocably alter my relationship with someone.

As someone that doesn’t really react or converse in a ‘conventional’ way, I’m probably often fucking up relationships in ways I’m not even aware of.

Stayed Gone

so basically Vox sang a song welcoming Alastor back? Like nobody cared/knew that he had returned Except for Vox who broadcasted the announcement which is like the equivalent of throwing a welcome parade.

Apparently my younger sibling got a 50% on math homework that I helped them with absolutely devastated im at uni for engineering

did you know that you shouldn’t yell at your kids if they did something wrong accidentally/ because of things outside their control? Revolutionary

10 Flaws to Give Your Perfect Characters to Make Them Human

If you're tired of the usual vices like arrogance or impatience, here are some unique (or at least less basic) character flaws to give your perfect characters: 

Pathological Altruism

A character so obsessed with helping others that they end up doing more harm than good. Their inability to let others grow or face consequences creates tension.

2. Moral Narcissism

A character who sees themselves as morally superior to others, constantly justifying selfish or harmful actions because they believe they have the moral high ground.

3. Chronic Self-Sabotage

A character who intentionally undermines their own success, perhaps due to deep-seated feelings of unworthiness, pushing them into frustrating, cyclical failures.

4. Emotional Numbness

Rather than feeling too much, this character feels too little. Their lack of emotional response to critical moments creates isolation and makes it difficult for them to connect with others.

5. Fixation on Legacy

This character is obsessed with how they’ll be remembered after death, often sacrificing present relationships and happiness for a future that’s uncertain.

6. Fear of Irrelevance

A character-driven by the fear that they no longer matter, constantly seeking validation or pursuing extreme measures to stay important in their social or professional circles.

7. Addiction to Novelty

Someone who needs constant newness in their life, whether it’s experiences, relationships, or goals. They may abandon projects, people, or causes once the excitement fades, leaving destruction in their wake.

8. Compulsive Truth-Telling

A character who refuses to lie, even in situations where a lie or omission would be the kinder or more pragmatic choice. This flaw causes unnecessary conflict and social alienation.

9. Over-Identification with Others' Pain

Instead of empathy, this character feels others' pain too intensely, to the point that they can’t function properly in their own life. They’re paralyzed by the suffering of others and fail to act effectively.

10. Reluctant Power

A character who fears their own strength, talent, or influence and is constantly trying to shrink themselves to avoid the responsibility or consequences of wielding it.
