btw, how do you do that thing where it shows what someone else said? I'm kinda new at this.
You mean this?
You click the triple dot thing next to it and up will pop a menu, then just click “quote”

But if you only want to quote a small portion of a post you can just copy and paste but one one of these > before your text. It's pretty handy if the person your quoting just wrote out a wall of text.
So this

Will become this

For a new short story I'm working on:
Dima, Ness, and Lyra are outrunning assassins in a rooftop chase, and Dima gets shot in the leg, falls from the roof, and breaks his leg in the fall but all from the bullet lodged in it. Also he hits his leg on something before the ground so it gets ripped open a bit.
I wanna join the sadistic party! I've done a lot of bad things to my characters. Here's a couple I can think of.
1: I made a character watch as the love of his life was burned alive without being able to do anything, sending him into depression and the most awful state he's ever been in.
2: I killed the most innocent 6 year old. He was caught in an orphanage fire and didn't make it out. His friend who was basically his mom carried him out of the fire but he died in her arms. The girl, Meg, turned from optimistic to super protective and reserved. Her brother lost use of his legs in the fire and another character had her hands to badly scarred that she never shows them. She also has PTSD.
3: I had a character who was chemically created who, when her and her siblings tried to escape from the lab where they were made and being experimented on, she had to stay behind to keep the hanger door open. Just as she was about to join them, she was captured and had to watch her siblings escape without her even though it tore them apart inside. She had endure punishments for trying to escape.
4: One girl was caught in an earthquake which killed her family and took off one of her legs. She had to get a prosthetic.
Ok, I'm done
Damn
It's amazing how grim the human mind can be
So many awful situations
Writers have to be willing to be a bit sadistic to their characters! 😈 Lol
We would make good killers.
Great killers, but terrible parents considering all the ways we've tortured our children
Oof she's right.
I will be a better parent in the future if I get married.
We would make good killers.
Well, that's a scary thought!
Confession: I'm actually really soft and have only intentionally physically hurt one person and would never hurt anyone else.
I guess it's kind of true for a lot of us though, that we do things in writing that we would never do in real life. It's an outlet.

But true. If we could overcome our moral barriers we could be unstoppable.

Oh gosh, we could all team up as well; law enforcement wouldn't know what to do!
One of my characters, who was born in 965, watched as his parents and sister burned to death, helpless to help them. He finds out that a creature started the fire, and wants revenge. Along the way he becomes a pretty much unstoppable killer, killing demons, witches, etc. He is eventually cursed by a witch that's seeking revenge to live an unnaturally long life (to present time)…. He takes part in several wars, and watches as those that he cares about die while he stays young and youthful looking.
Another one, Jason, who has pyrokinetic abilities, accidentally kills his brother, gets kicked out of his house, becoming homeless, and is eventually framed for setting fire to a school that kills/injures several people.
Okay this one is just sorta evil.

In complete agreement compadre.
So there's Cyrus, my story's double-agent:
The worst thing I've done to my characters was creating them in the first place
Oh, I'm viscous to my characters. I've crucified them to a tree, burned them alive, made them kill the love of their life, made them choose between their husband and their child, I've killed them in order to save their child. You name the most worst thing somebody can possibly go throw and I probably did it at some point…
Why?
It makes good stories bro!!
