Promote Your Work! Character: Am I Wrong?

Daiesha 2024-05-16 17:17:44 UTC #1

AITA or AM I wrong with your character. Post as if it a character of yours is asking if they are wrong for a situation they are in, inside your comic or novel. Also leave the comic/novel below!

Example:

Niko: Am I wrong for planning on divorcing my after an argument with my husband? I, 27 F, left home and slept in the office downstairs after an argument with my husband, 30 M. Last night my husband was late to our anniversary dinner. Normally he is never late and I admit that we have been having trouble with our marriage. We have been on a rocky patch and this dinner was supposed to be something to show me he cared about our relationship. Last night during the argument he came late and just brushed everything off. I grabbed my jacket and left. I immediately went to the office and looked for places to move to. I was done but I can't help but wonder if I over reacted.

Update: I appreciate what everyone said. I went upstairs to talk to my husband to find blood in the penthouse. Worst of all my husband is missing.

Am I wrong for being in love again already?

My ex-boyfriend just dumped me in April, and I'm already in love with my best friend. We've known each other since Jr. High School and have practically been attached at the hip since then, like I barely went three days without seeing him. But now between the breakup, and the car accident and the paralysis, I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with me. You're not supposed to feel this way this soon after breaking up right? I'm not supposed to try to get him to love me when I'm the reason we're both in the middle of this mess, right?

So what if I admit I've been in love with him this whole time. Does that make me better, or worse?

I absolutely love thissssss ️

@Daiesha what the post? lol, thanks. I've never tried to write a post like this, so it was a fun idea/challenge. I'll probably do another from the male leads POV

Daiesha 2024-05-16 18:45:20 UTC #5

Same! I like this challenge too because it makes me think deeper into the character's thoughts and ideas. How their mind works at certain times. How they would act if they had advice or without advice.

Akala: am I wrong for getting rid of surplus males? I mean they live a miserable existence anyway and nobody wants them anyway.... So by serving as my loyal soldiers or as my food, they can be a part of something greater than themselves... And die happy. Am I wrong?

Daiesha 2024-05-16 20:11:11 UTC #7

Lol this one is good too

AM I Wrong for leaving my family to go on an adventure with someone I don't know too well?

I 16 M, through a weird series of events I have been given the opportunity to leave my home and travel to a different realm since I have a condition that makes it difficult almost impossible for me to work at my family business, the person who gave me the chance also told me I can refuse if I so wanted to, I won't be traveling alone another person 17 M is going to go with me, I help him out and is part of the series of events that brought me to this thread, he is a nice person without any friends and he is cool too, but I'm still split on the decision, on one hand, I can stay here doing the same things I do in comfort or I can take a leap of faith and see what's on the other side, what do you think I should do?

AITA for adopting my late brother's child?

I (40sF) am a professional at the top of my field with a husband and three biological children of my own. My younger brother and I come from a wealthy, well-connected family, but when my brother was in his early 20s, he fell in with the wrong crowd and eventually left home, cutting off contact with the rest of the family. What my brother did to our family is neither here nor there, but suffice it to say he eventually returned, and we found out that during his wilderness years, he fathered a child with some cheap whore (now 40sF). Before I could find out where he left this woman and her child (to make sure they were taken care of), he left again (stealing a huge amount of our savings when he did!) and soon thereafter passed away.

After his death, it took me eight long years to track down this floozy who had my brother's child (once I got around to it; I was quite busy in the meantime; my career is incredibly demanding). When I did find them—well, when my private investigators did—they were living in squalor, and she was clearly still in the throes of addiction that also afflicted my brother. I guess we'll never know how they squandered all that money my brother stole from us, but squander it they obviously did! My family is very involved in government, so I was able to gain custody of my brother's son, and since then, I've been raising him without any contact with his birth mother (though the kid kept bringing her up; what is he, ungrateful?).

Anyway, now the boy has grown up and left home just like his father and is apparently leading some kind of "peasant revolt" (he is going through a rebellious phase). My husband seems to think it's my fault for "kidnapping" him from his mother, but my husband would just as soon have smothered him as a baby so he would not be a threat to our biological children, so I don't know if he can offer objective feedback. Tbh I'm a much better mom than his mom, anyway, and I gave my nephew everything he wanted growing up, so what do you think? AITA?

sams_cartoon_shack 2024-05-16 21:48:57 UTC #10

AITA because I (40s-something female) tried gaining full custody of my 11-year-old daughter from my ex-husband (also 40s-something but on the later end) after being out of her life for years. I never meant to abandon my family, but I was so fed up with my ex leaving me with most of the housework and never having time that it was beginning to take a toll on my mental health.

Psychoborg: Am I wrong to not want to kill my archenemy outside of battle? Sure, it would be the easiest victory ever and s---, but... f---, I couldn't bring myself to do it. It FELT wrong. She was unarmed, not out to pick a fight and it was kind of her a-hole boyfriend's fault she was in danger to begin with. If I'm going to kill Astra, I want to be in battle which dignifies us both not during our time off in cold blood while she's unarmed. Someone please tell me because I'm seriously losing my s--- over this. Thank you.

Prometheus: Am I wrong to feel compelled to help a patient of mine who is clearly being abused at home? I will not disclose his name out of patient confidentiality so let's just call him "Boy" for now. When I first met him to treat a broken arm, he seemed very apprehensive about letting me take a look at it. When I finally did, I can tell as a doctor that he had several other bruises clearly caused by fists and even scars from being whipped. When I asked "Boy" how this happened, he said he had an accident without looking at me in the eye and was practically begging me to not tell anyone about what I saw. When I asked about his home life casually, he would not give me straight answers. I've treated many abuse victims before and they all act like this, and I know that when nothing gets done, they could wind up dead or worse. So I feel compelled to help him. Am I overstepping my boundaries or am I just practicing my moral duty to another person in need?

Am I wrong for running after an electrical cord and starting inter dimensional problems?

So I finally had found a nice owners, but out of no where this bizzare guy named hold-the-phone showed up and kidnapped me through a TV. He took me to this weird place called Vacuuma. I was supposed to meet his friend, but I got distracted by an electrical cord trailing through the street. Can you blame me? Im a cat. Anyways next thing I Know I’m in this big building and this crazy vacuum cop is shooting his gun off everywhere and we are being chased down by this weird suit guys. They threw me in prison where I met this cat who is absolutely pissed saying, “your actions broke down negotiations between the central agency of travel and could have catastrophic consequences” ???? How is this my fault?

Here's the thing. My younger brother is bulimic, and he's wasted away to the point where it's honestly terrifying, but I'm the only person who knows what's going on in his head and he made me promise not to tell. The thing is if I don't make him eat, he's not going to feed himself, but the only way I can get him to do that is by blackmailing him, and telling him I'll tell our parents if he doesn't.

I've kept my promises, nobody else knows, and he's eating again, even if it's minimal, but I feel like a monster. Am I an angel or a devil?

Yami from "Lyra's Magnum Opus": "AITA? I have been best friends with Sana since we were in high school. I love him, as a friend. Sana has been sick since I knew him in high school and getting worse since. I am protective of him, because I worry he will attract a guy who will take advantage or treat him badly when he is not able to defend himself. He is not able to eat many different kinds of foods due to his condition, and for example, I worry some asshole will make him feel bad for it, or worse, pressure him into eating something that could kill him. I also hope to uplift Sana by treating him as a regular person when many want to baby him for his illness and consequent appearance. This is often misinterpreted as my being mean to him myself, but others are simply babying him. Sana recently met someone he's loved as a celebrity crush since we were in high school. We're all in the music industry, so it's not weird to have met him. I will treat this celebrity just the same as a regular person too, because that's what he is. I've long known he is not the sharpest crayon in the box due hearing about him from Sana over the years, so how in the world is he supposed to take care of Sana with no mistakes? I believe it is simply not possible, so I put pressure on him to get it right. As a consequence, everyone thinks I'm an asshole when I'm looking out for Sana as only I can."

This reasoning has made Yami the undisputed villain of the book and everyone calls him an asshole. He is the ultimate AITA. My friends who have read the book want to end him, lol. He's a nice guy. Really...

Dominic:

Am I wrong for hitting on the woman who came into my family's convenience store?

No seriously like, I know there are probably some etiquette or work-place rules, but you've gotta cut me some slack, she was just so beautiful I had to ask for her number. I'm just glad I didn't scare away a customer. She did give me her number, but that probably wasn't the best way to try to get it, right?
