    Flawed Heroes

    I'm adding this in for some stuff on writing character flaws and flawed heroes. In this case, one thing I really wanted to hit on was minor versus fatal flaws and just plant that concept for some future stuff next week as it's the start of me targeting a misconception which irritates me.

    Story Theory: Heroism is Key to Great Stories

    I see you missed the part where I say I would have as well if not for others touching on similar things and me just using it as a framework for communication. It's why I don't reject things out of hand, even if it comes from sources I'm not the biggest into.

    Story Theory: Heroism is Key to Great Stories

    This is a little theory I've concluded so far, based on my research and experiences. Plus, it sets up the next series, where I'll first go into greater depth into heroism, as I detest people who claim that it is subjective/a matter of perspective.

    Tournament Arc Stock Characters

    I kept thinking about tournaments and competition stuff lately due to Blue Lock and ended up making this. Hope it can help!

    Soft Magic Systems

    Last in this specific series, finally hitting soft magic at its softest. I discuss a bit about bad magic systems in this too, as I dislike the notion that a system being flawed makes it soft or hard makes it good.

    Guided Magic Systems and Mystical Magic Systems

    So... I was tired yesterday, and I forgot to make a thread here... My bad! I'm working on the soft magic video right now to end this. I'm also going to discuss a bit about bad magic systems in it and parts of the differences between something being soft and something being bad, though I...

    I'm glad to hear that! I like doing what I can to increase people's knowledge and understanding, regardless of their position in the equation.

    Rational Magic System Overview

    ...Now, I kind of want to make a system based on radioactive powers... Fallout crossed with superhe- ...As I typed that out, I recalled how much they have those comic characters in side quests.

    The Hard to Soft Magic Spectrum

    I didn't say it was done perfectly; I just said I'd place it there with what it was going for, and you can see it when judging everything explored in the system. Issues with the execution of the magic system and what it is conceptually are two different things. Plus, what you speak of with...

    Rational Magic System Overview

    The next part in the magic system series. This time I tackle systems that aren't hard magic, but closer on the hard spectrum to it. I feel this is what many who think of it actually make or want to make.

    Hard Magic and Narrative

    This is the next part of my new series of magic system videos. After reflecting on some of my past work, I wanted to add something a bit new to the discussion again. I've had so many people ask me, "Is this magic system good?" after just dropping some description of things, and I have no way of...

    The Hard to Soft Magic Spectrum

    This is a little project I've been working on with magic systems to conceptualize them better. I have more in-depth videos coming -- this is just an overview. Regardless, I'm hoping it can help people out when working on their own magic stuff.

    Writing Do you use mbti or any other typology system for characters?

    I've dabbled around with this a bit, actually. I've used it more for marketing profiles, but did get a bit obsessed by The Explorer archetype when it comes to that stuff. I might come back around to this in the future, thank you for reminding me of it!

    How do you get better at writing stories?

    Seek someone competent who you trust and respect to work with you one-on-one.

    Writing Do you use mbti or any other typology system for characters?

    Yes, yes I do. I streamlined a whole process out of it. Others can do whatever they want. I'm not going to say my approach is the only one that works, but I will say it does work for me.

    Writing Sociopathic Characters

    I swerved into this topic a bit last minute, but it was fun getting this off my mind. Hopefully it can help those invested in stuff like this.

    Writing OP Characters

    Decided to tackle writing OP characters more now, from the perspective of "this is what I've noticed works." Hopefully it can help you out!
