How to Write the Perfect Antihero

Happy Wednesday everyone! So I know I haven't been very active recently... I've been busy writing and reading and classes have started. And now I have a cold, as is usual during the first or second week of my classes. No matter what I always get sick the first or second week of a new semester. I was hoping this semester would be different, but apparently not. Anyways, this is my last semester at Ivy Tech. I have two more classes and then I'm officially finished. I'll have my General Arts degree!! And then will have to go on in the Spring to figure out the heck I'm going to do next. But for now, enjoy my painstakingly searched out gif sets for how to write the perfect antihero (because antiheroes are my favorite):

Starts out morally gray

Has a tragic past

Believes they can't be forgiven/a hero, believes their a bad guy that can't be helped

Usually meets someone and discovers the power of love (either a friendship love or a romantic love or even the power in teamwork)

Beings to question their bad choices/dark pasts

Makes some bad choices on their way to redemption because they aren't perfect and that's why we love them

But always at the end of the day, they find that one person who will stand by them no matter what. All they want is someone to love them and not give up on them. To look at them and not see the darkness, but to see the potential for light in them.

And eventually, they become the hero... or at least a better/betterish person

So there you have it! How craft the perfect antihero as told by some of my favorite antiheroes (specifically Murphy from The 100, he was the total star in the latest season of The 100 and I can't wait to see what happens in season 6!). I realized, after finding all the gifs and stuff that these are all male antiheroes and it got me thinking about what female antiheroes I know, and I actually came up with quite a few, so I might do a blog post specifically for some of my favorite female antiheroes too.

Have a great week everyone!

March-May Wrap Up!

Happy Tuesday! So I had a March/April blog post all written out and forgot to post it! So here's a March-May recap! How has the last three months gone for you? March ended up being a really good month. I turned 25 and had a really great birthday I got to hang out with friends, watch some new shows and am almost done with the Throne of Glass series. April and May have also been really good months for me. God's blessed me in so many amazing ways over the past three months. I feel bad that this blog has fallen so to the wayside for me. I used to post every week and be so excited and now I just really struggle to keep this updated. I'm starting to think it might be time to let this blog post unless I somehow get renewed motivation/inspiration for it. March-May Writing: March was a very good writing month. I just reached 65K in Immortal Circus #3, and despite a few small hiccups, it's been flowing really well. I'm enjoying getting to draft a book after spending ...

Turning 25!

Happy Thursday! At the end of February I was looking back at my wrap ups on my Instagram and on here and it almost made me start crying because of how far I've come. It made me stop and think about where I started my 20's versus where I am now. So much as changed and so much of it for the better. Just looking back at the pictures and wrap ups I've done over the past year, I feel like I'm thriving. I'm at a place I honestly didn't think I'd ever get to and maybe that was just me being dramatic or living in on and off depression for so many years, but it makes me tear up and so thankful to see how far I've come since 20. At 20 I had a best friend I thought I would still be best friends with when I turned 25. I had him and two other friends at 20 and that was it. I don't even remember what church we were at five years ago, but it wasn't the church we're at now and I know I definitely was not thriving there. I felt so behind everyone else my a...

A Goodbye to The Archive Series

Happy Friday! The final book of The Archive Series comes out next Tuesday. This has been almost three years in the making and I don't know what to say to properly say goodbye. I started this series in December 2019 with Golden Touch. The idea had been sparked by me watching The Road to El Dorado and having a desire to write a treasure hunt story for most of December. Little did I know that the story of a girl finding a boy with a Midas touch up in the mountains to help her family with their money issues would turn into a five book series and be a huge part of my life for the next few years. I also had no idea that that series would get me through one of the hardest years - 2020. Honestly, God knew what 2020 would be like and He knew I was going to need a story and characters that would make me happy, give me joy and focus on during that very hard year. And for me, that was Amaya and Darren and this whole series. I poured a lot of myself and my story into Amaya and Darr...
