More Memeage!

[awanderingbard]

The best days are when new character development memes arrive! Stolen from joonscribble

Toss me some numbers and a character (OCs and AU versions welcome) and I'll answer the questions. Multiple characters welcome as well:

1. What is one thing others might find intolerable about them?
2. Do they have any annoying quirks? If so, what are they?
3. Name one or more of their bad habits.
4. Any addictions? (Food, sex, drugs/alcohol, shopping, power/control, etc.)
5. What is one thing they do that can negatively affect their relationship with friends?
6. Their romantic relationships?
7. What is the biggest mistake they’ve ever made?
8. What mistake(s) do they continue to make/have not learned from?
9. Name some of their major physical shortcomings.
10. Some of their emotional shortcomings?
11. What are their intellectual shortcomings?
12. At least one thing that they tend to overreact to.
13. In what ways might they be overly negative and/or pessimistic?
14. Is there anything they are too optimistic about?
15. How might they be ignorant or prejudiced?
16. Do they have any behaviors and/or beliefs that cannot be adequately justified?
17. When would they be too judgmental of someone or something?
18. Are they ever a pushover about something? If so, how?
19. Is there anything they refuse to budge on? What are they stubborn about?
20. What is a self-inflicted misery of theirs? (i.e. something they perpetuate themselves)

I think people tend to forget the amount of crap Steve's had to go through because he's not constantly angsting about it in the ways we're used to seeing male characters angst

And we don't see any much of him before the transformation, when he was really struggling. We see more of him after the serum, when everything comes easily to him.


Maybe she's an interior decorator at heart. Like, the minute she enters a room she's like, "These dolls look better on the floor. Really draws the eye. I'll just arrange them here."

Hehe! 'Yes, this earplug is a nice green, I think I'll put it next to the wall in the front hall and they're realize they really should change that paint colour'. :-D

I"m off for a nap. Laters!

Well, sort of. It's like he got all the tools but crappy things continued to happen regardless. Poor Steve. He barely had time to enjoy being able to run without dying before serious shit went down.

Have a good nap!

I meant more in a physical sense. He becomes the hero right away, there's no conflict there. Tony had to build his suit out of scraps, and he had to work out all the kinks, and still was conflicted about it. Thor has to learn humility and die before he can become the hero. Steve, once he has the serum, just is Captain America. Bad things happen and continue to happen, but the becoming the hero arc is very short for him, because he's already a hero before he starts. His movie is not about him becoming the hero, it's about him getting to the point where he crashes into the water. Both Thor and Iron Man's first movies end with them taking the responsibility of being the hero, Captain America's movie ends with everyone else becoming better and working harder to live up to the hero that Steve was.
