Who even needs to use a queue? - This used to be a blog where I talked with mutuals commonly but now its just another content reblog spot. I am also incredibly unfunny. - My icon was drawn by the amazing Paraholix. Go check them out and give them a follow http://paraholix.tumblr.com My header was drawn by @Aioi_u on twitter. Their art is amazing and worth your time too! https://twitter.com/aioi_u?t=QuBdkvcBH_om8_n_1XqbWw&s=09

Skeletor has forever destroyed our ability to come up with voices for skeleton characters.

this is like saying NASA has forever destroyed our ability to wonder what it's like on the moon. like we can still use our powers of imagination if we want to but the question's pretty much fucking settled.

having more than one craft does wonders for your confidence. can't be the best painter in a room of painters, but I can be the best pia—[the prodigious painting pianist enters] oh no

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

  1. What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)
  2. What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)
  3. What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)
  4. Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 
  5. What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 
  6. Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)
  7. Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)
  8. Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)
  9. What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 
  10. What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)

the director has a quest for you! (please don’t ask her about dogs anymore)

[ID: An animated gif of a lowpoly 3d model of lucretia. She’s a dark skin woman with white short curly hair. She’d wearing a light blue and white shirt under a dark blue cape. Her head is moving slightly as well as her arms in an idle animation. At the bottom of the screen is a text box that says “No dogs are allowed on the moon, unfortunately, yeah it’s- well, here’s the problem: they just run right off the goddamn thing.” End ID]
