The moment of change in a character is not always crystal clear in a story. Very often the secret to good storytelling I think, is to understand all the structural elements in a story, and a character arc, and then to HIDE those elements so they feel realistic while they ...
Punch to the Midsection
Banes at 12:00AM, March 4, 2021
In the beginning, we set up our character
Iin the middle, we get them into trouble
In the end, we get them out of trouble.
Sounds so simple! It's tougher than that to pull off.

Star Trek Economics
Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 4, 2021
I just finished a rewatch of The Mandalorian series and one of the things I thought about was the vicious profiteering and scramble for money (or ‘credits’, or valuable metals or what have you) that indicates what kind of economy is at work in that show.

The Unlikable Good Guy
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 23, 2021
Some characters are the heroes.
Some characters are the villains.
And some characters are just punchable. But not actually bad, or even antagonists- though sometimes they can be towards specific characters rather than the general plot goals.
Every time this type of character opens their mouth to say something, our ...
Everyday Joes and the Best of the Best

Everyday Joes and the Best of the Best
Star Wars and Star Trek are long-running siblings in science fiction pop culture. I don't know if there's really a “rivalry” between the two; SW has always been more popular I think, and the two are very different.
