As a writer I can tell you that what Shayme is saying is 100% right. Characters need to grow and learn and it is important a writer take in many different perspectives in order to make the stories as believable as possible. Keep this stuff up I love your story analysis series :)

Overall, all forms of critics are really bad. Movies are praised despite being awful since they show “diversity.” Video games are penalized for being hard. And if you disagree, you’re considered a racist, sexist, a bigot or any other word
As a writer, this is a useful tool for broadening the view you have on the characters you've written. I'd love to see more stuff like this, perhaps on the use and subversion of common cliches and tropes in modern fiction?
1) Finally! A Dr Shaym upload where he doesn't sound drunk and tired. 2) As an actual writer, this video is very helpful. 3) Um....let's see a memey thing that I can include to technically make this a memey comment.... What's the similarity between feminists and a tornado? It only takes one to ruin a good town.
I don't know why but it felt unbearable to watch him drunk sounding a video while some random gameplay in the background. Glad he's back in a clear voice with some nice effort.
Character analyzing is key to a good story. For example, Stephen King is a great writer because it's the psychology of his characters that make his stories work. It is genuinely unnerving to see Jack Torrance slowly delve into madness, and the story doesn't make it clear if it was caused by ghosts or his own demons, as we do hear about his mistreatment of his family and his alcoholism is a prevalent part of the story, while with Carrie White, as horrendous as the prom was, we understand why she did it and a lot of the book shows her in a more sympathetic and human light, making the tragically relevant anti-bullying message clear. And in Misery, the story works because we get to see Paul trying to keep a cool head in his terrifying situation while also looking into the mind of Annie, the antagonist, and getting a taste of her twisted mindset and logic. Sorry this is long but if you want to make a story work, especially ones like in the horror genre, it is important to show how your characters react to their surroundings because if the audience does not care about the characters, the story fails, and you fail as a writer.
I love your point here. The books you've mentioned, I have read them, and they do deal with psychology for the characters. Stephen King is a brilliant writer for working on that for his characters. You are right in saying that the character should be shown in their surroundings and how they interact. It is important.
@@stephvandykeozzy It's not the character who should affect on the setting, it should be the setting that has the effect on the character. That rule is absolutely crucial for character development.
Man Dr shaym went from femanazi buster To philosophical genius But I love it Also Dr shaym would be 1)great lawyer 2)a clever writer 3) and the perfect president
I’m so glad you posted this video, it’s kinda felt like you’ve stopped putting in as much effort in your videos so seeing a video that has some of the same vibes as your old stuff makes me really happy. You made a lot of good points here.
Beautiful. Brought me to tears, juxtapositioning this with societal standards for entertainment. It showed me just how imperative it is that these ideals be revived.

Very good video, it is comprehensive with supporting animations and has a very well thought out structure that makes it easy to follow what u try to say and how u came to your conclusion. I kinda knew this allready but never thought about it as a whole so it was nice to see the big picture with your help Dr.shaym
This is a big part of why the good seasons of MLPFIM are so good, and why the bad seasons are such shit. New characters and gimmicks are tossed into the playset without any thought of how they change the world or the interactions of characters.
As an aspiring writer, this is a pretty good video! I didn’t expect this kind of content from you, Dr. Shaym. But now I’m hooked! I hope you can make more videos like this, it’s high quality stuff!
Oooof. When you feel bad for the red guy more than the Mary sues in Hollywood films. You can do it, Red Guy!, get some help to better yourself for you and your multicolor family.
Fighting games are some of the best examples of character webs, as these webs are defined in game mechanics, not only narrative. Skullgirls can be taken as a great example; Fillia, as a protagonist, is friends with Squigly and Painwheel.
And your character is a person shoving a possum out the window with a stick while swearing at it. ❤ it will always be my favorite funniest video of all time and thank you for making it. 😂
This is a masterpiece I never really looked at books or movies this way but now that you have explained this logic it just makes everything so much more interesting so thank you for that experience friend
Thank you for this video!! I’m currently involved giving ideas to a writer for a play!! Plus one day, I want to become a creative writer!! Once again, thx ^^
I made a character, well a side character, he was just part of tale which was being told. He was a farmer in the apocalypse. He saw dead bodies everytime he woke up, he was afraid why these bodies are appearing, believing someone has been dropping bodies where he lives. So he stays up but he falls asleep, sees dead bodies everytime. Until he got a friend. A body has appeared and he is in shock, believing it was his friend cuz who else woulda done it. But his friend tells him that it was the farmer who did it. The farmer couldn't believe this so he killed himself. He had the strength to kill but his mind couldn't handle such guilt and was filled with such grief, disbelief, and anger that he killed himself. He wanted to know who did it but he was too fragile to know the truth.
0:33 OBJECTION. The line can get very blurred, unless you count the contradiction or hidden truth as action as well, Griffith, Guts, Itachi, Petyr, Nolan's Batman are examples, and hearing about someone deepens the lore and make world feel big and old.
The funny thing about flies, you actually catch more with vinegar. Try yourself, put honey in a jar and put vinegar in another. Put a small hole in the lid, and see the insane amount of flies dead in the vinegar and nearly no flies in the other jar.
Great video. That thing about actions showing the characters nature is something that is easy to forget and go on telling the reader about the character. I mean, it serves well for comedy with an overtly unreliable narrator, but not if you want to have the reader actually understand and believe. That is another good point you make, people need to understand not to sympathize. At the same time, it is true that in the name of diversity some writers make tokenism look classy. But I do admire writers that can manage to give life to many different characters each with their own goals, flaws, and journeys. I recently found a good video about contrasting characters shown by their movement and gestures. Maybe you'd like it. ruclips.net/video/jSxYqH_IXVs/видео.html I think it is a good companion piece for this video.
The one thing I didn't agree with was at 1:57. It is not always the case where the mean guy is mean and the friendly guy is friendly. We (hopefully you've seen it) seen where the opposite is true where for some reason the mean guy is friendly and the friendly guy is mean. Also one's actions seen by others might make them assume how they are, but in fact isn't. The first that came into my head was Snape from Harry Potter. The characters and reader/watchers thought we was a bad guy of sorts when if fact he wasn't.
