Character development thing.

Plot points on this chart to represent how important these different aspects of a character’s life are to them. By doing that you can help determine what type of things your character deems to be most meaningful in their life, especially compared to others aspects.

A brief explanation of each aspect is below in case you’re confused about the meaning of any.

Physical Aspects

Strength: to have physical power and strength

Sex: to have sexual gratification and satisfaction

Possessions: to have objects and tangible things

Health: to have physical health and stability

Appearance: to have a good external appearance

Emotional Aspects

Appreciation: to be appreciated by others

Attention: to be paid attention to

Security: to feel secure emotionally

Approval: to be approved by others

Social Aspects

Respect: to be respected

Friendship: to have friends

Intimacy: to be intimate with a partner or partners

Belongingness: to feel needed and belonged

Family: to be on good terms with/have a family

Spiritual Aspects

Inner peace: to be content with themselves

Purpose: to feel as though they are fulfilling a purpose

Self-sufficiency: to feel that they are able to provide for themselves

Growth: to feel as though they are growing and changing

Acceptance: to be able to accept themselves without consequence

This is an absolutely amazing exercise and I certainly recommend doing it.

RESPONSES TO SNEEZING:

In non-English-speaking cultures, words referencing good health or a long life are often used instead of “bless you”, though some also use references to God.

In Albanian, one says Shëndet (shuhn-det), to which typical responses are Faleminderit, meaning “Thank you”, or Shëndet paç, meaning literally “May you have health”.

In American Sign Language, native Deaf users typically do not respond to sneezes, but a hearing user may use the ASL words for “BLESS YOU”.

In Amharic, ይማርሽ (yimarish) for female or ይማርህ (yimarih) for male is said, meaning “may God forgive you”. The person who sneezed then responds by saying ያኑሪሽ (yanurish) for female or ያኑርህ (yanurih) for male, meaning “may you live for long”.

In Afrikaans, “Gesondheid” ([to your] “Health”) is said after a sneeze.

In Arabic, a response is صحة (Sahha), meaning “health” The response is either thank you شكراً (Shukran) or تسلم (Tislam/Taslam) which means “may you be kept safe”. Another typical interaction (from Islam’s teachings) is for the sneezer to say Alhamdo lel lah/Alhamdulillah i.e. “All praise is for Allah (God)”, after which a responder would say, يرحمكم الله (yarhamkom Allah) (God have mercy on you) and the answer is يهديكم الله و يصلح بالكم (Yahdeekom Allah wa yousleh balakom) (God guide you and make you right).

In Armenian, one says առողջություն (aroghjootyoon), which means “health”.

In Assamese, when someone sneezes, a person says মঙ্গল হওক (môngôl hôwk) to him, which means “May good happen”.

In Azeri, sneezing is usually followed by the response Sağlam ol, which means “be healthy”. Sometimes, Afiat is used, similar to the Persian response.

In Belarusian the response is будзь здаровы / будзь здароў (Budz zdarovy / budz zdarou) directed to a male person and будзь здаровая (Budz zdarovaja) for a female. The answer is дзякуй (dziakuj, thank you)

In Bosnian, one says Nazdravlje, meaning “To your good health”. The person who sneezed usually responds with Hvala, meaning “Thank you”.

In Bulgarian, one says Наздраве (Nazdrave), which means “[to your] health” or “cheers”. The person who has sneezed can then say Благодаря (Blagodarya), which means “Thank you”.

In Catalan, one says Jesús or Salut. The person who has sneezed would then reply Gràcies for thank you.

In Cantonese, one says “大吉利事”, which literally means “a great fortunate occurrence”.

In Chechen, the response is Dukha vehil (to man) or Dukha yehil (to woman), which means “live for a long time”.

However others may frequently not comment on the sneeze; whereas the polite sneezer might want to follow up a sneeze with 不好意思 (bù hǎo yì si) (Mandarin) or 唔好意思 (Cantonese), meaning “excuse me” or “sorry”.

In Dutch, one usually says gezondheid (literally translated as “health”), to which the person who sneezed will respond with dank u (wel) (thank you, formal) or dank je (wel) (thank you, informal).

This response can be made by both sneezer and non-sneezer.

In Turkish, a sneezer is always told to Çok Yaşa, i.e. “Live Long”, which in turn receives a response of either Sen De Gör (“[and I hope that] you see it”) or Hep Beraber (“all together”). This is to indicate the sneezer’s wish that the person wishing them a long life also has a long life so they can “live long” “all together”. In more polite circles, one might say Güzel Yaşayın, i.e. “[May You] Live Beautifully”, which may be countered with a Siz de Görün (“[And may You] witness it”).

A different response if the one who sneeze is a small child is “Cơm muối”, which means “Rice and salt”.

In Yiddish, one says זײַ געזונט (pronounced zay gezunt; meaning “be healthy”) after one sneeze; after subsequent sneezes, צו געזונט (pronounced tzu gezunt) is said. Another response among Yiddish and Hebrew speaking Jews isאסותא (pronounced asuse; an Aramaic word meaning health). In another Jewish custom, a person responds to his or her own sneeze with חיים (pronounced chaim; a Hebrew word meaning life). (Pirkei D’ Reb Eliezer, an apocryphal Talmudic source)

The Rape Of Persephone by Gian Lorenzo Bernini

how the hell do you do that with marble

Bernini was great with plenty of the arts! I’ve actually seen this and it is amazing! But basically, a lot of time, dedication and polishing

I love Bernini.

This is incredible. I need to see it before I die.

This can’t be marble. It just can’t. ~~I love it.~~
