#

anyway umm with how i like to write main characters, i would never mention anything regarding their backstory but make their characteristics in certian situations simular to how they were in the past or smth. and in certian situations it would get better or become worse

Uh oddly bright colored clothes in the closet that never get used and contrast against the other dark clothes, and subtle mentions of growing up more mature? I dont know i really need flashbacks

#

For the question, I’d just show that the characters way of thinking and acting as the story progresses changes due to others interacting. I don’t know if that makes sense

stuck sorrel

#

Aries from epic

summer relic

#

Since when was Aries blue?

alpine pier

I would probably have other characters just mention that the mc has changed using statements like "their smile has just not been the same as when they were a child" or "they weren't always like this" etc

And to answer your question Astra, How about they have memory lost? Cause the story I'm making starts with them burning down their own orphanageDekuReee

okay then

interesting

I ate 4 bananas today

pine walrus
#

Through body language or words

"Wow, you've grown so much" or "you're more vocal than you used to be, huh?"

minor shuttle
#

My best idea would be to just have them tell the story themselves. I usually enjoy "show, don't tell" more, but if my hands are tied and I can't show it, I gotta tell it somehow, so...I have them tell it.

#

A person knowing the old them

#

the other characters would slowly figure out their true self

pale vault
#

Show it via other characters making remarks or taking action about it
Have someone like their friends or their family members talk about it to someone new the MC just met

The eyes and actions, and a picture comparing the two of them being completely different people.

Aside from using dreams (I personally don't count dreams as flashbacks, I think we all dream about memories sometimes lol), I would just do what I do in real life and casually allude to my past in certain situations. Like at my current job, when things get crazy, I'll be like 'aw man, I would have totally lost my marbles over this rush when I was in high school' and stuff like that. Then if someone, or another character, asks what I mean, I would then explain that I was an absolute bloody wreck as a teenager lol.

Answer to QOTD: By other ppls reactions to them or the characters internal thoughts

#

Maybe have the mc meet a character from the first ep or season and that character perceive them totally differently from who they are now, but it's actually how the mc used to be

round hemlock
#

Through ✨songs✨

sour plank
#

I would make the main character (along with the side characters) always say little bits of their backstory without it all together throughout the whole show

#

For example,
Person: why do you flinch so much?
Character: Because my uncle used to abuse me until my mom killed him
(Crazy ik i js came up with it on spot)

bright olive
#

Have him comment about things.
*
Exapmle: They see a bunch of young punks outside a bar, he stares at them a bit longer then he should before commenting in their mind "I can't belive that's what I looked like.. what a waste of talent that was.."

stiff socket
#

pockets of unnatural dark anger. Like they'd be doing normal stuff but rage at the tiniest things and be like "NO...no...we don't do that anymore." And everytime they refer to themselves they think "we". I prolly keep that throughout the book until the end lmao

Ooo, maybe there was a scribe who wrote everything down about the mc, and recites it. Idk lol

#

Foreshadowing?

#

Idk 😭😭

vestal garnet
#

Bring up old friends who don't recognize the person the mc has become

jaunty thunder
#

I would say sometimes make them slip up nd act different than normal

proper cedar
#

maybe like

#

hmm

#

have my other characters talk abt how they sused to be different

#

miss the old them

#

that kinda stuff

#

or the hcaracter can have an old diary and they read from it

glossy token
#

Flashbacks are important tho!!

#

Idk maybe he's perceived by the villain as what he used to be, but I think it might confuse the readers

exotic jasper
#

mc looking through old stuff that they would never use now. maybe they stumble upon a photo that shows them from long ago

vivid owl
#

Seeing an old picture of them in their old house? Idk, I never thought about it.

ivory monolith
#

Having characters interact with them and by the end show that with the characters being different towards the main character from the start it shows how much the main character had changed

oak yoke
#

They’d see and old friend and they’d hide meanwhile the other person js sees them as a stranger not even recognizing them

silk plover
#

they slip back into their old personality sometimes, and whenever someone points it out they freeze but laugh and brush it off

delicate dew
#

What's the extent of a flashback

snow fossil
#

Maybe through places they been or people that they once knew. Even pictures that they have that showed who they were before.

quasi delta
#

Like uh uh uh show them pictures

livid geode
#

By I guess tell don’t show

pseudo bison
#

By slowly regaining lost memories. This actually happens to the MC in another personal tale I'm writing.

rain shard
#

I'd probably made him/her or even myself not a people pleaser

inland flower
#

Making them meet an old friend who barely recognises them because that's just how much their personality has changed

crystal cove
#

I change them

dusky lake
#

the character says "i used to be different, y'know, heh... 😏"

exotic aspen
#

probably through other characters talking abt it, or old mementos like pictures

fallen viper
#

Ye

merry smelt
#

Through other characters and pictures. It'd also be cool if the reader/viewer could use its own imagination to make up the events without there being that much context
