This is such a good point!!!

I find it kinda odd how people talk about writing “flawed” characters like the flaws are an afterthought

Like “cool cool we’ve got this perfect hero now to just sprinkle on some Irritability and Trust Issues then microwave for 6 minutes on high until Done”

But I’ve personally found it feels a lot more useful to just… think of the flaws as the Good Traits except bad this time

The protagonist is loyal? Maybe that means they have a hard time recognizing toxic relationships and are easily manipulated by those they want to trust

The hero is compassionate? Maybe they work too hard and overextend themselves trying to help people and then they refuse to ask for help when they need it themselves for fear of burdening others

They’re dedicated to their ideals? Maybe they’re also too stubborn to know when to quit and they have trouble apologizing for their mistakes

If they’re creative, they can also be flighty. If they’re confident, they can be arrogant. If they’re brave, they might be reckless. If they’re smart, they could be condescending. Protective can become controlling, and someone who’s carefree could very well also be emotionally distant

In my opinion, the best “flaws” aren’t just added on afterwards. The best flaws are baked in deep, ‘cause they’re really just virtues turned upside down

As you probably know I'm very interested in Dear Evan Hansen, so I made an animatic of For Forever on my YouTube channel, Ravenclaw Book Nerd. I also do book reviews and speed art on that channel. Hope you like it!

Ben Platt as Evan Hansen and Laura Dreyfuss as Zoe Murphy from Dear Evan Hansen. This is based on the “Only Us” scene. Made in 2 hours using mechanical pencil, a smudger and wax paper to prevent accidental smudges.

In April I was in a school production of West Side Story. Here are the Sharks - I was a Shark ensemble boy. That’s me in the black hat and brown jacket. Loved my cast. ❤❤❤
