Что значит comfort character

счастье это пассивная позиция которую персонаж может занимать в начале сюжета когда ничего ещё не началось и в конце сюжета когда всё уже закончилось
если же вы пишете занавесочную историю чтобы потешить свои кинки, то пишите что хотите, комфортьте персонажей как вам угодно
активные действия это и есть главный определяющий признак сильного персонажа
если трусливый параноик сумел хоть на секунду перебороть свои фобии и перебежал через дорогу, то в контексте сюжета это делает его сильным персонажем

нужно всё же разделять:
— некий персонаж которого комфортят и из-за этого он теряет «авторитет» в глазах читателя
— некий изначально слабый трусливый жалкий персонаж который изначально «авторитета» не имел, но по ходу сюжета некими активными действиями его приобретает
это совершенно разные ситуации
если же перемежать эти ситуации регулярными чаепитиями, то дофамин вымывается и азарт исчезает
хороший автор может добавлять какие-то сладкие моменты чтобы оттенить драму или лучше раскрыть персонажа или сделать промежуточный брифинг более ярким
такой персонаж вечером вернётся домой и опять будет счастлив с семьёй, а потом утром опять пойдёт на работу и опять будет несчастлив потому что найти убийцу до сих не удалось и нужно опрашивать скорбящих родственников и искать маньяка угрожающего мирным жителям

я написал «никогда» потому что меня заебали сопли ради соплей и фансервис ради фансервиса
ну и очевидно что матёрые авторы и без моих советов знают как правильно писать и какую дозу фансервиса вносить в текст
nadeys
У меня?!)))) Это забавно слышать.)
Скорее уж у вас такие представления. Я как раз вам обратные примеры привожу: что человек может быть базово счастлив, но это не отменяет любых других эмоций. Как в данных примерах.
И почему это он будет несчастий от того, что не не может найти убийцу? Это вообще иные эмоции. Злость, азарт, раздражение, интерес, да что угодно. При чем тут вообще счастье? Это другая сфера.

я никому не запрещаю в текст засунуть фразу «он был базово счастлив»
если бы Роулинг в этот момент засунула сцену умиротворённого счастья и радости, то это сломало бы всякую интригу
nadeys
В фокусе может быть что угодно. И лучше бы и то, и то.
А уж такие фразы точно писать не стоит. Разве что как сарказм.
в конце концов я ведь не модератор чтобы кому-то что-то приказывать

About
Comfort Character is a slang word used to describe a character in a television series, movie, video game or book that is designed to give either the participant or those within the chosen media comfort. A comfort character is one that is wholesome and eases the protagonist or participant, often contrasting against a darker theme in the series. Online, many characters who were not intended to be comfort characters have been labeled as such by fans, who imply a greater nurturing atmosphere than was intended by the creators.

Don’t Fear, Your Comfort Character is Here
Are you stressed, overwhelmed, and lost in a sea of section sign-ups and scheduling conflicts? Fear not: your comfort character is here to help. Now, you might be asking, “What is a comfort character?” Great question, Deb. Let’s get into it! (I hope someone else agrees that “Deb” sounds like someone who would ask a lot of questions, perhaps at a PTA — or Parent Teacher Association — conference, perhaps with a hairstyle that looks suspiciously like that of Big Bird. But, I digress.).
Comfort characters! Comfort characters are those characters in your favorite TV show or movie that just, for some inexplicable reason, are so relaxing to watch. It might be a character that reminds you of someone in real life, or it can be someone you feel like you relate to and want to be friends with, or even a character that reminds you of yourself. There are a lot of different reasons why you might have a comfort character, but the bottom line is they are a fictional person that gives you such a strong sense of familiarity that you turn to them when your friend Deb just isn’t cutting it (c’mon Deb!).
So! Let me inspire you — you just must procrastinate more so that you can get out there and find your true comfort character. maybe even use this as an opportunity to spend your Wellness Day well. Perhaps I can provide a few suggestions of such characters, if nothing comes to mind. I think some of the best comfort characters are the ones in long running TV shows that you can watch grow and change as the show progresses. If you’re feeling down in the dumps about
, maybe you could turn to Leslie and Ben from Parks and Rec for a little bit of positive political spunk. If that breakout room nemesis is making you feel like you don’t really rule the (virtual) school, I’m sure that Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl can assure you otherwise. Of course, a show doesn’t have to have a million seasons to qualify! I mean, if you’re feeling like “Wow, I am always in sweats and always in my dorm and I never look even somewhat presentable,” then Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Hastings will allow you to live vicariously through their highly stylish early 19th century lives.
If you still feel like you have no idea where to look for your comfort character, please allow me to entertain myself by throwing out a **conspiracy theory**. Maybe we occasionally find comfort in characters that look and/or act like us? I’ve been told a few times that I look like Pam from The Office, and I even had someone tell me that “You’re exactly like Pam. Like, why do you look and act like her,” which I will pretend did not come across as having a slightly insulting intention. Anyway, maybe some of the best comfort characters can be the ones that kind of remind us of ourselves! So if you’ve ever had someone tell you that you look like a famous actor or actress, maybe go check them out and see what they’re up to, because one of their roles might just be your comfort character. What I am really trying to say is that I think everyone has, or should have some sort of a comfort character to turn to when you’re stressed, because watching their unrealistic, fictional lives will make you feel a little bit better about your all too real, sadly unfictional assignments that seem to just keep coming.
Comfort Characters
I’m bored so, who are your comfort character(s)?
To elaborate, characters that make you feel better or calm you down, etc.
My CC are Kenma (Haikyuu), Haru (Free), Saeyoung (MysMes), Eiji (Banana Fish), and Chanwoo (Bj Alex)
the whole gintama cast kind of but specifically shouyou, gintoki and tama.
daichi and sugaru from haikyuu. they’re like parents to the whole team im so soft.
zenitsu and tanjiro from kimetsu no yaiba!! especially zenitsu absolutely love him
I guess characters that help you calm down or feel better.
The ham-hams from Hamtaro, especially Boss/Taisho. 🙁 As a kid, I thought he was the funniest. There’s characters you want as your waifu or husbando, but like. I know he’s a hamster, I just wish he was my dad or my brother or something.
I also really like Ami from Sailor Moon. I relate the most to Mako, Luna, and consider myself a Haruka/Michiru lovechild lmfao but I like to think I’d get along with Ami.
She instantly comes to mind, one of my fav characters in anime
Kan’u Unchou is the Dillon to my Dutch.
Most versions of Link (LoZ) as long as they’re not obnoxious. Tom Tanaka (Durarara!) is pretty comforting.
Then I have a Charmander plushie who brings me a lot of joy and comfort— I’ve had it longer than I’ve known most of the people in my life. It’s just the right firmness and size for hugs. I have a Link plushie too, but it’s so small that it’s a little hard to hug. The Charmander is like legitimately high tier teddy bear for adults status though because the size really is just right. Like I imagine a body pillow I’d end up suffocating on, but like my Charmander plushie is like. mn. hugging a small or curled up medium-size dog against you. Like it’s a really good snuggling size. I feel bad since Link’s my husbando, but sometimes I just hold my Charmander plushie and have my Link plushie on the side somewhere.;; The Charmander is just so comfortable to hold though. People say it’s terrifying to look at and looks possessed though because the paint has left the eyes after so many years— I mean, I think I’ve had it since 1997, so it’s not surprising. Oh right, so of course because of my plushie, I associate the character with comfort in general.
How Fictional ‘Comfort Characters’ Help Me Deal With My Emotions
We are publishing a series of stories to coincide with World Mental Health Day on Saturday, Oct. 10. It raises awareness about the importance of mental health and advocates against social stigmas. These are challenging and stressful times. According to the World Health Organization, half of all mental illnesses begin by the age of 14 but most cases go undetected and untreated. Let’s make the world a kinder and happier place for all to live in.
If you’ve ever found yourself on the side of Twitter fan culture, then you may have come across the “comfort character.”
As the name suggests, that’s a fictional character people find immense comfort in, either because they can identify with them or wish that they could hang out IRL. The feelings are so real that people say even just thinking about their comfort characters has helped them calm down during panic attacks.
How Fanfiction Helped Me Come To Terms With My Queer Identity
Comfort characters aren’t anything new. The term itself has appeared as early as the heydays of Tumblr, when people would post fan art and messages to express their appreciation for these characters. But it recently blew up on Stan Twitter where people now actively discuss their love. The “comfort character” has become so popular that entire Twitter accounts have been created for posts about wholesome fanfiction of people meeting their favourites.
Fans constantly tweet about their comfort characters, posting video edits and photos.
When a fan account tweets that they’ve been going through a rough time, their friends will usually spam photos of their comfort characters in the replies.
The typical comfort character is usually protective of their loved ones and is caring and loyal. Think Harry Potter’s dopey best friend Ron Weasley, your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, or Sugawara, the “mom-friend” from the anime Haikyu.
It’s totally random.
For me, it’s Jack Pearson from the show This Is Us. Jack, played by Milo Ventimiglia, is the quintessential television dad. He’s selfless and loves his family unconditionally. He became a comfort character for me after an episode from the show’s first season.
Jack’s family had embarked on a road trip to his in-laws for Thanksgiving when one of their tires popped and they ended up staying at a shabby lodge. Though things didn’t go according to plan, Jack made it his mission to give his children a Thanksgiving to remember. With convenience store hotdogs roasted over the room’s furnace and a copy of the film Police Academy that Jack stole from the lodge’s office, the family enjoyed a nice indoor picnic.
Many would find it incredibly strange that I, a 19-year-old girl from Singapore who does not even celebrate Thanksgiving, have developed an attachment to a fictional middle-aged TV show character. But I am drawn to Jack’s love for his family, something I have, but definitely wish I had more of.
I don’t have the same heart-to-heart talks with my parents that Jack has with his children. Once, when I broke down in front of my dad because of unbearable stress from school, all he said was that this wouldn’t be happening if I just prayed more. Not the words I wanted to hear. I love my parents but sometimes, I wish I could open up to them more.
So whenever I feel overwhelmed or stressed, I put on my favourite episodes and clips from the show. This gives me a moment to breathe and provides me with a quick escape from my worries. It always feels like I’m receiving a warm embrace.
It’s the same with my friends who have their own comfort characters. Although these people only exist in made-up worlds and are not real, comfort characters have become instrumental in helping many of us Gen Zs deal with our emotions.
My friend Rebecca, 22, has anime character Sailor Moon (aka Usagi Tsukino) as her comfort character.
“Usagi has helped me in so many ways,” she told me. “Seeing her be strong in times she wants to give up inspires me to keep going because if she can do it, so can I.”
She and Sailor Moon are both Cancers, and having the same star sign is what first connected her with the character. The love only grew from there.
“I can see a lot of myself in her and I can see what I lack. For example, she’s kind of selfish but it’s made me more aware of being giving to others.”
She said Sailor Moon encourages her to embrace vulnerability.
“She’s helped me realise that showing emotion is OK and that it’s OK to take time for yourself and recharge,” she said.
“I can have a terrible day, come home, watch the show, and get so inspired to make the next day better.”
High school student Chris, 16, calls Captain Marvel her “#1 hyper-fixation,” claiming to own just about every piece of Captain Marvel merchandise.
“As someone who has diagnosed PTSD, I see a lot of my traits in her character, thus creating this sense of comfort around her,” she said. “She learns that her past doesn’t define her as a person and that it can empower her. And as someone who struggles with their past, it’s really comforting.”
I feel the same way about my comfort characters. There’s Jack, but also Logan from the show Big Time Rush and Alex from the musical Netflix show Julie and the Phantoms. They all lift my spirits when I’m not feeling my best. Setting up fan accounts for fictional characters gets a bad rap. Many think we’re nuts for latching onto people who aren’t real, but they provide us with a sense of comfort when it’s hard to get the same from people in real life.
