당신 may ask who and what is Mary Sue and a Gary Stu?

Well my follow 팬 popper a Mary Sue and Gary Stu is a written 또는 drawn mistake, lie 또는 fake.

Why are they supposedly a lie 또는 a fraud?

Silly you! They're a lie and,or a fraud because they're perfect, no flaws, no issues, and no worries. Basically everything a human isn't 또는 can't naturally have.

Mary Sue- Is a female who is beautifully, smart, sexy, strong, independent, sentimental, generous, slim but curvy at the same time,and yada yada. She's basically the perfect woman with no flaws and a sex symbol that tops over all other sex symbols. Her talents, her beauty, her smarts, her body, her everything is better than yours and everyone agrees and loves her. Anything she does 'wrong' is a misunderstanding and in the end she's still the lovely and good Mary!

Gary Stu-Is a male who's sexy, handsome, smooth,smart, sentimental, tough, bad boy,edgy,romantic, muscular, strong,has lots of money, and smooth with the ladies again because this is kinda a huge point to them. Basically he's everything a Mary Sue is but is a male. He makes your man like a dumb ugly dog. ( 개 are cute 의해 the way. Not cuter than 고양이 though) He has no real flaws. Bad boy, no because every girl 또는 guy ( there's no discrimination in this 기사 except against Mary Sues and Gary Stus) has a bit of a soft side for the dark side. ;)

These 'people' aren't real because of these facts they have no flaws 또는 problems. Especially no challenging problems that has to take a whole series 또는 book.

Harry Potter,however, is faced with challenge after challenge that the main challenge, Voldemort brings upon him with his followers to help him. Also Harry deals with personally problems and feelings that we all had, can relate too, and are very much human. Harry's challenges last each book and the main challenge lasts through the whole series and with these challenges he grows, develops, understand things, and find ways to stop the badies and all that good stuff.

Anyway, how do they become to exist?!

That's what everyone asks! Why? Because Mary Sues and Gary Stus are common in literature, television,plays, and movies. Even in popular,well written and applauded works of art.
They exist because some authors,artists, directors, writers and all them wanted to have a character who resembles themselves but are the better versions. 또는 they are what everyone should strive to be but are impossible to reach 의해 all humans because the standards are impossible to reach.But remember not every character standard can be considered impossible especially if they are a real character not a Sue 또는 Stu.

In My Little Pony Twilight Sparkle became a princess in "Magical Mystery Cure" because she understood and knew the power of friendship. She of course was then bashed for becoming a Sue. But can 당신 call her that? No because she had fears and problems. But she overcame them through out the series with the help of 프렌즈 and her own courage and bravery. This also gives her character development but we will go over that later. Her standards weren't too high and impossible. 당신 have to overcome something life changing 또는 different than anything 당신 ever experienced. No 당신 won't become a princess 또는 a prince, 당신 will however feel some accomplishment and arise up from your old way(s) and become a better you.

Are all characters we look up to and want to be like Mary Sues and Gary Stus?

Hell No!Well defined characters are 더 많이 human like. They have flaws and strengths that sometimes out weigh the other 또는 are equal.You can relate to them because of this.
Flaws if 당신 most know are faults,weakness, and imperfections within 또는 outside a person,idea,thought, 또는 thing. They can be small 또는 big depending on the way it is used and looked at. Strength however, are good 또는 beneficial qualities 또는 attributes of a person,idea,thought, 또는 thing.

How do I avoid making this character!?

Wise one!! 당신 don't what a lifeless, boring drone. So here are some steps:

First the basics:
The character name, looks, and personality.
These can change depending on the setting the character is in. It's been proven 의해 many other people that Mary Sues and Gary Stus usually have names that have a super specially meaning. But there are acceptations if 당신 ask me. For example, a baby is born during a war and the parents decide to call the baby Victory 또는 Hope, Victory to remind them of what they strive for. Hope is as basic as it can get.

Appearance can change variously depending on age,era, style and person. Now here is some limitations, she 또는 he can't possible look better than everyone in the whole room unless the story is told 의해 the person who loves our heroine 또는 hero. Why because they're opinion is going to be bias because they are in love. 또는 it could be bias if the narrator is our main heroine and she/he believes she/he's 더 많이 gorgeous/handsome than everyone else but this could be written as either a flaw 또는 a strength because she/he is either arrogant 또는 confident.

Here are some body limitations if she is bone thin don't say she has curves in all the right ways, if she's chubby don't say she's fitter than every girl in school because it's kinda unrealistic for both lines. If he is bone thin don't say he's the best football player because of his natural physical strength alone. Natural strength as in no powers, no magic, no drugs, no bribes, no video games, and no dreams. But again if it's from a bias persons point of view it can be put off as an acceptation. It could be written off as being a Mary 또는 Gary when the story is told basically 의해 an unbiased 또는 outside character.

First off the character can be attractive,friendly and smart. Why? Because both woman and men can be this way without being perfect.The reason why a person could have these strengths without being a Mary 또는 a Gary is because the strengths most likely will be balanced with flaws 또는 occasionally topping over each other.There are 더 많이 strengths too 의해 the way. Such as talented, generous, open minded,creative,exciting, lovely, elegant, popular,independent,strong,healthy,athletic, brave,witty,cunning,etc.There are many flaws that are out there and could be a trait for a human as well as a character ,such as being ignorant, close minded, lazy, boring, dependent, weak, coward, arrogant, naive, bossy,ugly,mean, etc. As 당신 can see some 또는 most of the flaws is the opposite of the some 또는 most of the strengths.

Second: Back story and Goals
This is where we know the history of the character and can direct us to the character's possibly future. This is where we learn who's their family and 프렌즈 are, possibly their enemy, were there some lovers, were there some 심장 break, 또는 were there some terrible things that happened to our character. Was it death, rape, molestation, traumatizing experiences, 또는 something? The back story can example many things about the character whether why the appear this way, why do they live here, why do they 사랑 this 또는 hate that, why are this/that way? Back story is basically what were character history,present and future is.Make them at least have one personally fear because everyone has one. Give reasons why they are nervous 또는 afraid of this 또는 this happening.

Goals are basically what the character has accomplished 또는 hasn't accomplished yet and what they want to accomplish. This also help us with the back story of the character 또는 the whole story itself, This can also tell us why the character act this way, like this and dislike this, and are a certain way. Goals, back story, development and personality in my opinion is what makes a deep character. Deep characters have complicated feelings, thoughts, goals, development and personality.

Development is of course how much the character progress, learn, and better themselves and others. 당신 also will learn the rawness of the character, what they are and who? Why they do this 또는 do that? 당신 understand them and relate to them. They are slowly fixing their flaws and inspiring 당신 to do so too.

A Mary Sue and a Gary Stu does none of these things 또는 have these things. They aren't complex, they weren't hard to figure out. 당신 what is happening before it is happening and there's no real problem 또는 suspense around them. Why? Because Mary and Gary aren't meant for serious novels and 텔레비전 shows. They're little characters the author 또는 whatever put there just because.

Don't make Mary Sues and Gary Stus. Just telling it how it is!

This is what comes out me in class. When I should pay attention. ;)
Also some funny pictures.

He was crying. The tears weren’t coming fast, they were slow. So slow as a turtle.
They had only this time because when he steps out of this room he will be different, letting no 더 많이 tears fall. He looked her straight in the eyes. He was still crying but now there was 불, 화재 and ice in his eyes.

Fire so warm it could freeze every living thing.
Ice so cold that it could burn the whole world.

Watch me. 당신 will be surprised. I’m stronger and faster in many ways. And 당신 haven’t...

Chapter [#2]

Narrators POV

An old man in a 망토, 망 토 walked into the neighborhood in which Olivia lived. Everyone stared at him as he walked around.

Olivia's POV

I smiled brightly as I dived into the ocean, "wait up!!!" Oliver laughed as my five brothers ran after me with surfboards, buggy boards, buckets for picking up sea shells, and dad brought out our special maid sandcastle buckets. They were big and made the best structures ever!!! Plus our family is known for our sand castles/structures. I smiled and dived down, feeling the salty cold water against my skin, it's the best feeling ever. When...

    I walked for so long, looking for something, not knowing what that someone thing actually was. The sky bleeding with an 주황색, 오렌지 sunset as the sun moved ever so slowly below the horizon. I stopped in my tracks ans stared for a moment, than went back to searching for my mystery object. This was a great time to take in the woods which have always scared me. It wasn't bad walking through them. everything was 주황색, 오렌지 from the ending of summer. It was like walking in those stories 당신 always hear about. Just then, a soft rustle in the bushes interrupted my thoughts. Not knowing...

Chapter One

My alarm went off at 7:00 on the morning February 8th, 2017. I reluctantly sat up on the edge of my 침대 and yawned.

"Morning." I heard a voice say. My eyes were still closed.

"Luna?" I mumble. "That you?"

"Yep." I open my eyes to see Luna Middleton standing three feet diagonal from me.

I shared a room with her, her twin sister Kyla, and my brother Jacob. That's how everyone does here. 당신 live with your twin and your SIDA partner.

"So, sleepy head." she smirked. "You gonna get up 또는 what? If not, I'll eat your breakfast for you."

I don't reply and shake my head.

"Oh, come on!" Luna...

Prologue
The wind was howling like 늑대 in the night, and Will sat shivering in his post. The 터릿, 터렛 on which he sat overlooked a tall rock ledge that sloped into the ocean.
“Why do I get this bloody post.” he said to himself. The air was so cold up there that it sank right into your bones. Even though Will had dressed as warmly as he could with a thick woolen cloak, he could still feel the icy fingers creeping up his back. The 불, 화재 in the brazier barely helped either.
“Nothing as always.” he said as he looked out to the edge of the sea. He had taken to talking to himself when he...

I pull into the driveway of the cafe. I look into my rear view mirror. I look good. (Laugh) I get out of the car then fix my clothes. I'm ready. Just be yourself. Ok. I'm walking in. Don't fall. Don't fall .. He sees me. Just walk up to him.

Chapter Five

Mason met Olivia at his 가장 좋아하는 restaurant. It was a perfect 일 for a 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 date. The sun was shinny, the clouds were extra white, and the 잔디 seemed greener then ever. If only she knew that this was a 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 date. He signed the last autograph for today as Olivia sat across from him at their round table. Her hair was curly and in a ponytail. Then she wore a red dress with a thick, black 벨트 in the middle. His 초 impression of her was still the same, gorgeous. This 날짜 was going pretty well but Cassidy dresses better. Mainly because Cassidy is rich but he didn't want to...

Remembering is just an invention of the mind,
So 당신 need not try to remember something,
당신 remember it automatically.
Which is the best thing that 당신 could have.

The good times that we had...
It is placed in a portion of your mind.
The bad times that we had...
It is placed in the other part of your mind.

당신 try to forget all of the bad things that happened,
But it is not possible.
It is stuck in you.
The bad things are painted in ink on your heart.

The good things, 당신 try to remember.
And they stay.
They never go.
Never leave you.

Remembering is just an invention of the mind.
And, well...I guess I'm happy for that.
So I can remember every friend I've had,
Every boyfriend,
And all the good times.
Every memory will never leave my heart.
They will never be forsaken.
Never.

*Poem I wrote for a class project on the holocaust.
DON'T COPY*
Different in ways they couldn't control
Killed for reasons we do not know
Ranging from ages young to old
The innocent people were taken from homes
Soulless people did not care
That the Jewish were in despair
Concentration camps ending their screams
Breaking apart their families
Not once did they do anything wrong
They opened their mouths and sang a sad song
Years went 의해 and 더 많이 pain came
Until on one very special day
As one we all saved
The survivors of the Holocaust
Stan, the young donkey, was wandering sadly around the barn. He seemed hopeless and wounded and had no desire to speak to any of his fellow donkeys; even talking to his father was not appealing to him that exact moment. In fact, he was feeling ashamed of having a donkey father. He was ashamed of being a donkey altogether.
As the moon and stars scattered across the dark, blue sky, Stan decided he no longer to wander. He needed some solution, he needed reassurance, and only his grandfather seemed appropriate for that particular job.
Grandpa Roger was sleeping peacefully in the barn. He had become...

Bane’s POV

I laid in the grass, watching the clouds. I was beginning to dose off, right before sleep took me, a body pounced on me. I groaned, and looked up. A shaggy haired boy was sitting on my chest, giggling. My best friend, Christian.
    “Get off!” I yelled rolling over. He slid off me.
    “Party pooper,” Christian stuck his tongue out at me. He was so childlike, but that was something I had always loved about him. That’s also why we got along so well. He was hyperactive and loud, while I was cynical and quite.

Mr. Form droned on and on about chemicals 또는 something. Jason didn’t listen. He just sat at his 책상, 데스크 and drew on some paper. He was a very good drawer.
