you're now this mythical creature, congrats!
people seem to love redemption arcs but absolutely despise a character doing something bad to earn the redemption. it’s exactly why i hate things like ‘well actually ____ didn’t deserve a redemption arc!!’ like bruh you do know someone has to do something bad before they redeem themselves right. like that’s the point of it.
Things Your Character Secretly Fears (But Won’t Admit It)
(Even if they act like they’ve got it together or especially if they do.)
Being truly known (because what if they’re not enough?)
Being truly loved (because what if they’re not enough... again?)
Being forgotten.
Letting people down, and knowing they did.
Becoming their parents.
Needing help.
Asking for it.
Getting what they want, and hating it.
Being vulnerable and not being met there.
Losing control in front of others.
Letting someone close, only to be abandoned.
Never finding their purpose.
Success (because now they have something to lose).
Hurting someone they care about.
Saying something they can’t take back.
Feeling too much, and not being able to stop.
That they peaked too early.
That they’re not the main character in their own life.
Trusting someone and getting burned for it.
That deep down, they are the villain in someone else's story.

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."
Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.
Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.
