One time one of my friends asked me something like "how would your character react if a small lizard were placed in her hand?" and I was like "which one?" Anyway, I had just finished making the first batch of character portraits for a character bio post over on cohost (a post I would later repurpose for the 'Characters' page on this very web site!) and I went 'wait a minute I have all these little icons ready, I can make a whole fucking chart', so I got carried away and made an entire diagram illustrating my characters' range of reactions to the holding of a small lizard.
I have no idea what it means to be placed in the center of this spectrum. I have no idea why I decided to make neutrality one of the axes. makes no sense. Anyway, most of them would respond positively to "lizard in palm of hand". And the people in the 'unhappy' corner are mostly only there for "Oh I am afraid of this thing" reasons, rather than "I genuinely dislike the lizard" reasons. Because who could hate a lizard? Come on, now.
