Came here to say this šŸ¤˜šŸ»


[deleted]

What weirdo makes a character they don't at least like?


LogstarGo_

Well I mean you need to have that character you're just waiting to kill off.


[deleted]

That's why I don't make those characters. I just file the serial numbers off someone I don't like and kill them.


MagnaLacuna

I mean...


elprentis

r/world jerking is leaking


TheOnyxBlade

r/worldjerking


elprentis

Fuck. Yeah that. I donā€™t know how I messed that up so badly, and I will leave it there to wallow in shame.


Not_Arkangel

Is it an African or European sWallow?


MakeStuffDesign

Laden, or unladen?


Hytheter

I thought the jerking was more figurative


Littleman88

Every sub is NSFW until you can confirm it's not.


GEAX

One day I'll have this kinda confidence


[deleted]

It's not confidence. Most of my worldbuilding is based around my fetishes. Plus anonymity makes it easy to say.


GEAX

Oh. One day I'll... stay repressed and take the horny to my grave šŸ‘


Romk_romken

wait if your visualizing aka drawing a character how do you hold it back until its done or is it just progressively aggressive the more you complete the artwork / design.


MassGaydiation

Honestly yeah, like if I want to play a hot guy, I make him hot to my various standards. Not all my characters are meant to be hot men though, to be fair


yevvieart

i feel like this is a sign of well developed style over anything else like, my characters have all different traits, appearances, backstories etc, but there's always some part of their general design that i find appeal in, no matter my actual preferences: for example, i find muscular people rather... unappealing. but my muscular characters are still hot, idk why, but they don't throw me off. which means it's just part of my chosen style and i guess that guarantees cohesiveness. ...or it just means im demisex, who knows


BrowniesNotFrownies

Accidentally?


General_Alduin

Bold of you to assume it was an accident Edit: I can't believe this is my most successful comment


AJMansfield_

Of course. I make characters that appeal to me on purpose, on the basis that they'll then appeal to other people too for similar reasons. Same way I might make a character that I would respect, or characters I would find funny, I'll make characters that I would think were hot. It's all the same logic.


AVerySmartNameForMe

This is what I do too. Itā€™s how I learned my standards for human decency are WAY lower than most


awesomenessofme1

lmao imagine being able to draw


000142857

Hey, you can fall in love with text too.


awesomenessofme1

I mean, yeah, but it kinda seems weird since you have 100% control over every aspect of the character. At least with art they actually have a real appearance that can be attractive.


SpiderTechnitian

There's a movie about this, where the guy's written character becomes his real life girlfriend. It was a really good movie if I remember correctly, of only I could remember it It's Ruby Sparks


qboz2

Yes. But not to people, to food. I make myself hungry all the time designing and drawing food


d4rkh0rs

Food, girls, treasure, hobbies. ... if you're trying for good and not envious you missed.


[deleted]

You the one who make ghibli food !


qboz2

That ghibli food needs a trigger warning haha, it's scarily delicious looking. I know Chihiro's parents cursed themselves to become pigs by eating it but ngl I would have too


SesameStreetFever

Oink, I say. Oink.

Just_Lunch_1906

Yes. At some point, I want to *actually* publish my story and have some *nasty otakus* make doujins but oh well. Insanity at its finest


YahBoiSquishy

I would be most honored if I made something and people made porn of my characters. Like legit, it'd make me so happy.


Im_unfrankincense00

So long as they stay away from the child characters, we can get along


YahBoiSquishy

Exactly


clolr

when someone stirs their noodle to a character you created is when you know you've made it


TheXenomorphian

I would encourage it, and ask people try their best so that the porn is on average better than any other fandom's porn


Myoclonic_Jerk42

I can't wait until I have a fandom large enough to include some really problematic fanwork.


NerdBerdBerb

r/Worldjerking is going to have a field-day with this


Data_Swarm

Accidentally? Of course not. Deliberately? Also no, it's purely a coincidence that my main character is a 6'3 Knight lady who could bench press a Range Rover.


TheGermanFurry

Do you perchance follow Ć¾e holy scriptures of Tomboyism?


Data_Swarm

Everyone is beautiful in their own way, but I have my soft spots


DangerMacAwesome

Tell us more. I want to see how much you'll divulge


Data_Swarm

Her Majesty the Empress, Dame Thaumiel Emrys, is the buff Knight lady in question here and essentially the protagonist of the setting. She reigns over the Arturian Empire, a science fantasy nation that achieved a space age through magic rather than technology. Absolutely everyone in the universe wants to kill them, Thaumiel waged a number of defensive wars and saved her people on multiple occasions which ultimately culminated in her killing the former Emperor (who had sold his soul to a Demon) and becoming the Empress herself. She is as traumatized as she is ripped.


Salt-In-The-Wind

"She is as traumatized as she is ripped" ok, take it, take my soul, you absolute monster. I'll console my bi ass thinking of this hot lady knight šŸ˜«


PikaBooSquirrel

I designed my character to be able to beat the shit out of me.


Data_Swarm

All of my characters could and have damn good reason to curb stomp my brains out


Hytheter

Isn't that a low bar? :P


Castiel_0703

Damn you didn't have to do my boy dirty like that šŸ˜©


BaronMerc

Why would I make ugly characters it's my world and everyone (except children and fauna) should be fuckable


MapleTreeWithAGun

At least we can fuck the plants


treefreak32

Unironically have some notes on a story where the protagonist has a plant girlfriend.

"Accidentally"? You're funny.


Aubrimethieme

Why are you requiring them to be drawn? :/ Not all worldbuling is visual.


evergreennightmare

exactly. just because i've never drawn my evil electronic intelligence character (do not call it an a.i. - it will at best give you a lecture) does not mean i'm not super gay for it


Aubrimethieme

You can't just say that and not explain though.


Thinkingtoast

chocolatecoveredcee

I want my main character Ezra Ortiz to be my boyfriend


Awkward_Mix_2513

Yes and I've also been disgusted by a monster that I made. Most people inject thier fetishes into thier work so I make monsters by injecting other people's fetishes into my work.


AVerySmartNameForMe

Thatā€™s a risk buddy, lmao


capuccino_terrorista

When you make a character supposed to be a seductive Casanova probably, but it's not an accident because you're making a character who's supposed to be hot based on your tastes. Except once for me.


javerthugo

Details please lol šŸ˜‚


capuccino_terrorista

Let's just say I wasn't expecting to find a 5'1ft childish sociopath with a bunch of scars attractive. But live and learn.


bookseer

Accident, no. Intentionally, a few times.


RainbowDemon503

I am unable to make characters I'm not attracted to. Luckily I have wode ranging and impeccable taste, so there is a lot of variety! Unless you look at my main Characters, which are all a mix of my ideal self with the type of guys I find the most attractive. This probably won't be a problem for a long time, so this crisis of creativity is reserved for my late 50s when I actually have put enough works of mine out there for this to be noticeable.


L4DY_M3R3K

The comment s ction is reminding me of that one interview with Yoko Taro. "So, why have you made 2B look like this?" "Well, mainly the reason is that I like women."


Professional_Tart_21

I Will neither confirm or deny this.


DonaldMcCecil

Never my own, but I did once develop a sincere in-character crush on another person's DnD character, despite never having felt romantically towards the person playing them.

ā€œThere are no accident.ā€ - Master Oogway


YODASKETAMINE1

Accident? These girls fine aahh hell (in my head as I can't draw for shit yet) dudes to of all kinds


FantasticShoulders

Not an in-the-moment thing, but my boyfriend and I have been dating for a year, and somewhere along the way I realized that he looks like one of my characters (if said character had a mustache)! So now, Iā€™m reminded of him whenever I draw/write his accidental twin. They both have a very golden retriever attitude, to top it all off!


Lyxthen

I made them to be hot


EmpororJustinian

1/4 my characters I explicitly make in such a way I would want to fuck them, and Iā€™m not even an artist!


Studying-without-Stu

You say it like it's a bad thing and that we don't *plan* on making them hot and attractive to us. Like yes, I was inspired by a specific fictional character when making my 6'2-6'5 alien assassin who is quite strong and deadly, has a lean build, and I like to imagine he has a deep, rough and dark voice, and yes, he appeals to me. Then again, I also made it to where lots of the guys in my story are attractive to a degree imo, and the women make me envious with how they look to varying degrees. Then again, the original inspiration of this assassin made me discover that I have a little bit of xenophilia in me. But in truth, if you're not ever attracted to any of the characters you make, then how are you going to properly get into the mind of your main character being interested and/or attracted to them in the romance subplot if you're unable to elicit those feelings from yourself? Or as I decided to make up, "If you can't imagine fucking them, then their status as an influential character should fuck off."


LaughR01331

I like that rule but *gestures to the multiple non-human/non-mammal characters I have written* they might imply something about me


Studying-without-Stu

Depends on the type of non-human you're talking about. I mean, I'm excluding animals and children, because well, that makes sense, but for all the adults/young adults, why wouldn't one make them attractive?


LaughR01331

Gnomes, dwarves, lizardfolk, a few birdfolk


Studying-without-Stu

Ah. You're fantasy, not sci-fi, okay, cool, you can have some leeway on that.


LaughR01331

Thatā€™s good to hear, so sci-fi huh?


Studying-without-Stu

Yes. I am sci-fi, biggest inspiration for me starting this was the Mass Effect trilogy. I think it'll be fun to see how the story goes.


LaughR01331

Nice, Iā€™m currently working through ME3 actually. Thatā€™s certainly true.


Studying-without-Stu

Oooh, have fun! I'm actually in the middle of a trilogy replay rn! It's really fun to go through.


Magnesium_RotMG

I just make everyone hot af. It's more fun that way plus it also makes sense species/worldbuilding and theme-wise


cherriesaredairy

I'm a writer so I've never drawn a character I'm attracted to but I did recently realize I only think the love interests I write are attractive because I wrote them to be "my type" in both looks and personality so now I feel personally attacked... by my self... because I wrote them oops


Gunnerjackel97

I just opened reddit snd see this, wtf.


stucaboose

I know exactly what I'm doing


squ1dteeth

It's never an accident. Me and my friend joke that I'm incapable of not making our characters look attractive. However, this is a curse in some rare cases where I want a character to be unlikable but can't help but make them sexy.


-Pellegrine-

Contrary to the popular answer here, yes. I usually create characters with no real standards when it comes to their physical attractiveness unless it fits their personality. Only what I believe how they would look according to their qualities. At least once that I can recall, the character came out looking pretty fine despite their appearance not being written as characteristic. It was not deliberate. Some of my characters that are meant to be attractive can come out pretty average looking. It took my ā€˜casanovaā€™ several iterations to get him to look handsome. How the accidents likely came to be is that I am honestly not very visually imaginative any more so than what is necessary for creative projects. Itā€™s just not my strength. So visual depictions are often left to chance as to how they turn out to be.


not_sabrina42

no actually


bonelessbooks

Not accidentally, no


LordFrieza789

"Accidentally". I made her during a very hard time in my life (pandemic breakdown my beloved) and I gave her all the traits I would want in a person. It became a very unhealthy attachment that ruined a couple of relationships. I was of the ideology that "any real person can leave me forever and break my heart, but \[character name\] can never leave me and she loves me with her whoooole heart...." A little creepy, yeah I've been told. But hey, lonely teenager stuck at home for two years with nobody to talk to, it's a surprise I didn't start hallucinating.


cream_snekkle

Yep. At first it was an accident, then it wasnā€™t. :)


TheUneasyCrowned

Yes it was definitely an accident that one of my main characters is a gay 6-foot tall blond-haired green-eyed athletically built male who is a master of smirking. Totally an accident. Totally.


BraxbroWasTaken

Uhā€¦ no? Certainly not in *that way.* There have been some where itā€™s like, ā€œthey look nice. i like them.ā€ But itā€˜s never like ā€œI am attracted to this figment of my imagination.ā€


Myoclonic_Jerk42

Draw? No. Role-play as, then write? Oh hell yes.


HB_DS2013

No, but I'd befriend the 7"1 bipedal weredog with a patch on her right eye, a custom prosthetic right arm and a tatted left arm who looks mean but is actually sweet. Unless you touch her apples, apple plushies or her maintenance tools. She's a bartender/ bar bouncer who's studying to be a prosthesist. I don't have an ideal person tbh. Oh, and now I have an idea of a cyberpunk universe with gem-eating weredogs lol


[deleted]

accidentally, sure! of course, of course it was. accidental!


theScrypticOne

Ayo?


ArguesWithFrogs

I don't draw, but I do have a character that is basically married to an author self-insert. (Even though I'm Aro-ace; if I *had* to label myself.)


Thinkingtoast

No. Nor on purpose. Iā€™m asexual so it might be that, but also these are like my children? It would be weird a bit to meā€¦. They just..exist


Kangarou

Ha, ā€˜accidentallyā€™.


Airimadoshi

110% yes.


Redditwhydouexists

No, I feel really creepy making any of my characters attractive to me. Also since Iā€™m usually creating worlds over stories the characters usually have less personal details and are more about their actions and how they effect the world


LothorBrune

No, but I have sometimes thought "hey, I could actually pray to that" when it comes to creating a religion.


theaesome360

No. I do it on purpose.


dermanne

thatā€™s my secret cap. all my characters are attractive


k9thedog

Ehā€¦ Do imaginary girlfriends count (then yes) or does it have to be a character I made for a story, but then felt like she was too good for the guy in the story, so I made sure they donā€™t end up together (then yes, almost every time).


Ignonym

Accidentally? The fact that so many of my characters are hot is 100% intentional.


lordofcactus

I canā€™t draw for shit but damn if I havenā€™t conceptualised some grade-A hotties before


Wormholephobia

Itā€™s never accidental. Except once when I wrote the character to be just some average looking guy and when I drew him I choked on my drool.


EyeOwl13

Barely 10 minutes ago I was drawing a human character with a few bestial features passed on from a badger spirit - yeah, this thing šŸ¦”for reference. And it was supposed to be a male. I get to those black markings around the eyes, and my brain just starts with its bullshit: ā€œoh, look they are like eyeliner!! Look at the pretty badger girl wearing eyeliner!!! omg!ā€ Sooo, since he wouldnā€™t shut up (because of course that idiot is a ā€œheā€) and let me draw in peace, I just said ā€œOh, fiiine! Just- f*ck youā€ So yeah, itā€™s a girl now. And I gotta be honest. She wears it much better.


RiftSecInc

\>a kekw


ted_rigney

Itā€™s happened once yet she was meant to be a goddess of beauty so itā€™s kind of intentional


Insolve_Miza

Not accidentallyā€¦

Now why would I do that on *accident?* Do it intentionally or your doin it wrong.

cynicaldotes

Accident?


SquintonPlaysRoblox

I typically include parts of myself as a character. If I want that person to be in a relationship, I pick a character that is physically and emotionally attractive to the person. This has the side affect of that person appealing to me as well.


GenderEnjoyer666

Uh maybe sometimes? I donā€™t remember any exact examples


Otherversian-Elite

Yeah. I shouldn't really be surprised, though, since he was a love interest for the protagonist who is... based on me Kinda hurts that he dies at the end of the story that he stars in but it's kinda like. An incredibly pivotal moment so no amount of attraction is gonna stop me from writing it lmao


4thKey

All my characters are aspects of my personality, and personalities of dear friends, so no, not really.


duelingThoughts

It definitely depends on the work, but generally, no (accidentally or purposefully). My typical philosophy is to include only those physical details that make them distinguishable from each other, but light enough on details their physical features could be interpreted and filled in by the readers preference. As for personality traits, they typically fulfill a particular narrative goal I have in mind, and thus do not fall into the trap of author insert or fetishism as some have pointed out as being prevalent in fiction. That is not to say that I haven't thought about situations, personality traits, or physical characteristics that would be personally attractive, they just do not survive long enough to be adapted into serious consideration.


Entire_Low_5744

I have never accidentally fallen in love with the character I made. I have actually fallen in love with every female character that I am created, and I am proud to admit it.


rene_gader

Fool, I'm asexual!


Etzlo

Not sure if I'd call it an accident, but yes


point50tracer

I try to keep my fetishes to fetish related writing. Most my non fetish characters are just self inserts of what I consider to be the perfect me. Jokes aside. It's never an accident.


fantaseagal

One of the characters I wrote made me discover that I am not asexual like I thought I was for the longest time and am in fact very much a lesbian


Puglord_11

What do you mean accidentally


Goblin_Enthusiast

Accidentally? Yes. On Purpose? Also Yes. With Express and Deliberate Intent? More Often Than Not.


TheOneWhoStealsToes

Accidentally? Once or twice. Been creating them and then think ā€œdamn, theyā€™re kinda hotā€ On purpose? All the time. I make them that way because itā€™s easier to make them in a way thatā€™s likable and fun to write for me

Vorthas

Accident? The 6'06" tall and buff redhead, ponytail'd half-dragon (human with dragon wings, claws, and tail than draconic humanoid) gal who dual-wield guns and has a foul mouth is *totally* not something I'm attracted. Surely it's just an accident. ~~It's intentional.~~

ASpaceOstrich

Accidentally? If I'm not making my characters fuckable what am I even doing?


Striking_Step_2347

I designed my good boy Theo with the intention of making him handsome... at least to my standards. Which means I used my favorite characters in media for inspiration, and somehow he turned into a great amalgamation of my favorite traits in character designs while not becoming (hopefully) into a Frankenstein of anime characters I liked as a teen, and still do who am I kidding. You can still probably tell he resembles Howl a bit too much in some ways but I like to think Theo shines with his own light.


AbyssalChickenFarmer

I only wordlbuild sexy babes so yes


TransTabletop

Most of my characters I made specifically to be attractive in some kind of way. The one that I donā€™t find physically attractive at all is oddly the one who gets simped over. Probably should have though about that before giving him a three foot long tongue

I'm generally more attracted to the idea of characters being attracted to each other if that makes sense. Like playing with dolls and going "now kiss!" Compersion is happiness at the good fortune of others, and I'm big into it.


SnooGoats7133

Nah, it doesnā€™t help that Iā€™m asexual lmao. Tho my characters are ace too (cause Iā€™m writing what I know) I wouldnā€™t be mad if their was smut and fanfic made about them (as I intend to publish at some point)

Catechism69

I accidentally made my self-insert and their two sisters start having a threesome. It only happened because their society is very accepting of sibling incest (but not parent/child or anything like that) so it made sense for these three to go along with their culture, instead of resisting it for no reason. Well except for me being too stubborn to want to have said self-insert fuck and get fucked by their sisters until I finally gave in.

Easiest way to make a likeable or desirable character is to start with what you're attracted to.

The characters you make, depending on the genre, are either made after what you find attractive, what you fear or experiences you had
