I think that Ricky is pretty close to me, my character Ricky but he needs a plot.

And now he’s pissed off with me, lol.

a character who’s close to you is angry at you and needs a plot. Wait. Lemme think.

What makes you angry to the point of desperately wanting to do something about it? That can make him angry, and the plot can be about him dealing with the thing that’s making him angry.

Yeah, I dunno? I guess people being annoying.

Yeah, I agree so Churro, are YOU gonna let me talk?

So idk.

Do I need to lecture you on character profiles again?

insomniac introductions



name: Mau Qwerty

pronouns: Female

likes: Banners(band), snacks, anything chocolate

dislikes: coffee(so what, sue me!)

taglist: [] yes / no

I know what Ricky is like, he doesn’t need a 10 page profile lol. I just can’t make a plot

You’re like me, your plots revolve around your characters normally. Where can you insert conflict into his life? And how can you make it worse?

His son he confuses him.

Where is the conflict with his son?

He doesn’t understand him. His son is a nerd, and strange to Ricky, whi’s the opposite.

How can that translate into a story? Is Ricky discriminative towards nerds? Thinks his son is doing nothing with his life? Does he have a differing opinion on what his son should be doing?

He has no experience with nerds.

He thinks he should be more sociable, and he should do more things and find an interest in life that’s somewhat productive. He thinks that he’s too antisocial, and spends too much time indoors.

He thinks that his son should get a job of something. He has a degree.

And how does the son feel about all this?

And what does he do to show this?

He rebels against Ricky and shows disdain. And is like you won’t tell ME what to do, Dad.

So how can you make this conflict worse? The son leaves home finally and cuts off his dad, and Ricky realizes what he’s done? Or Ricky sabotages maybe an important relationship, professional or personal, of his son’s?

Hmm, maybe yeah. Ricky would be very shocked at first that Eliel had the balls to leave home, and that he actually left him because he’s always been there. And Ricky would want him back.

On a side note: Do you ever wanna punch someone for using a pink font that’s unreadable against a light background?

how old is this son again?
and how old is ricky
