Not Trying To Be Conceited Reblogging My Own Stuff, But This Is My Friend! She Adds Stuff To The Tags,
Not trying to be conceited reblogging my own stuff, but this is my friend! She adds stuff to the tags, which is super sweet since she's seen it already since she answered the same questions with her characters. I can't wait for her to share about them, they're all so loveable 💜
Character Question 8
How do they react to praise? How do they react to criticism?
Freddie: he will criticize you right back! He doesn't take negativity towards him well and gets very defensive, lashing out before it starts to hurt. If the criticism comes from someone he respects, he will pick apart whatever is being criticized and improve it tenfold.
He preens under praise. He will flaunt whatever was complimented for days. Don't flatter him too much - his body isn't strong enough to hold up his big head.
Zach: he will immediately try to fix whatever is criticized. He'll drop whatever he's doing and do his best to remove the flaws.
He takes compliments very lightly. He'll say thanks, but it'll take a lot for the intent and sincerity to sink in.
Bella: She will work tirelessly until she improves whatever is criticized. Sleepless nights, days shut up in her room, she won't rest until it's perfect. She'll work until burnout and then won't make anything for weeks since she's so exhausted.
She'll read very deeply into praise. She takes it better than Zach, but only after analyzing the wording, the tone, and the situation on which the praise was given.

Tumblr ate my previous post, so I'll try again
Enjoy the decent drawings of my characters!
Character Question 6
Strongest character trait? Weakest character trait?
Bella - she learns incredibly quickly. It's probably not technically a character trait, but it's something she has a lot of pride with. Not that she'd be very open about it outside of her minuscule social circle. She loves learning new things and perfecting skills.
This is somewhat of a disadvantage when it comes to more emotional parts of life. She is so used to having a practical outlook, genuine social interactions elude her. She gets along well with her family, but she spent a lot of time holed up in her room with various projects; and she was shy at school, taking a long time to come out of her shell and make friends.
Freddie - his passion is unrivaled. He loves all his projects and will devote everything he had to them. He cares deeply about the few things he has room for in his slowly warming heart.
He is SO stubborn, it's kind of ridiculous. He will not give up unless there's no other option. He has worked on experiments until he has run out of money to buy more containers and chemicals. He will argue until he is sent out of the room. It can be a little destructive. Don't pick a fight with him unless you have duct tape and rope, he won’t shut up otherwise.
Zach - he is very chivalrous. He believes strongly in standing up for what's right and sticks up to his beliefs. He is protective and defensive of things close to his heart. Just generally a softie pretending to be tough.
Unfortunately, he will put up defenses rather quickly. He has many fronts for different situations and, as previously mentioned, he will guard his heart and the things close to it with his life. Basically. He doesn't truly open up willingly or quickly.
I can't believe you've found this! Or maybe you just clicked on the link I put on Wattpad at some point.
Anyway, this is a place of bonus stuff for my book. So far it's just art, one-shots(au) and deleted scenes. Feel free to message or ask me about the characters, setting or anything else related to the book. Maybe suggest a story or scenario to stick my dysfunctional trio in! It's up to you!
In case you found the Tumblr first, here's a link to my book

I'm going to try and truly make this a dumping ground for my book. I have so many character questions answered, so I might as well start posting them.
If everything goes according to plan, new ones will come out every other day. I'll iron it out eventually.
Character Question 1
What’s their wardrobe like? How do they wear their clothes?
Freddie: His wardrobe mostly consists of polo shirts and dress shorts. He has e a bow tie and a dress shirt for special occasions. He almost always tucks his shirt in. He always wears black sneakers and white socks.
Zach: Basketball shorts and sports jerseys. That's it. He does have a too-small tuxedo from a second cousin's wedding that he was too lazy to throw out, but that's it. He has a few signed jerseys from a couple of sports games. Every day, he throws on the closest, least smelly clothes. It doesn't matter if it matches or not, since he's always in a hurry he sleeps in most days and generally doesn't care. He has a pair of purple and blue striped shorts, so it can end badly. The fluorescent pink shirt doesn't help.
Bella: Her wardrobe has a lot more variation. It's mostly different patterned t-shirts, leggings, and capris shorts. She does have a few skirts and dresses, but they're not really touched for anything but special occasions. She has a modified tool belt that she wears basically every day. It's the one thing she lets herself wear that's out of the ordinary.
Character Question 5
How do they display affection?
Zach: he shows true affection by sharing with you - being vulnerable. He's friendly with basically everyone, but he's only truly honest if he cares about you. He'll listen intently to you, trade stories, and bring you to his favorite places.
Freddie: he'll snark you if he cares - he'll debate you and use more sarcasm than usual. He'll trade playful insults and might give you a decent compliment every now and then. You need a thick skin to be his friend, but it's worth it to be friends with such a sweetheart.
Bella: She will make you stuff. She'll find out what you love and make a system for it - a mini bot or something to organize a collection. She'll make a secure way to trade little messages on a tiny box in case you don't have a phone handy. She'll share her favorite things with you and spend as much time as she can with you, talking about her passions and introducing her favorite activity. (Odds are you'll enjoy them - she has good, extensive taste)
