Just post whatever comes to mind.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.
If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.
Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Hey there! Having fun?
I'm having so much trouble with giving my main character an interesting personality. Right now, he's just introverted. Nothing else.

Give him a deep, philosophical love for pie.
literary masochist
Make stuff up. Does he act introverted or not? Does he like to try new things, or stick with what he's familiar with? Does he wax philosophical, or take things at face value? If you can't decide, flip a coin.
Changing details that are already there tends to be easier than staring at a blank sheet wondering what should be on it.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Yep, he acts it. Which drives the plot of the story, because he's the king of a war-torn continent, which is not an ideal position for someone of his age and personality type.
He's generally averse to change and tries to accept whatever's thrown at him, though ultimately failing. My biggest problem with him, though, is that he likes to be alone... which wound up being so much of a personality tumor that it makes him seem like a Dirty Coward whenever he has official business to tend to. Either that, or a brooding emo. Both would be bad.
I know you're joking, but I'm going to try to work with that.

I really wish it was easier to see plays and musicals that are no longer actively performed (or even ones that are). I'm sure there'd be a decent amount of money to be made by simply recording the opening night, or any night, and releasing it on DVD.

I found a British Name generator, entered my real name and was dubbed Margaret Thatcher. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

Like an American name generator, but without 'Hank', 'Waldo' or 'Elmer'?

Wait maybe I got the wrong one.
We talking about the Anglo Saxon or the Celtic generators?
Wait, wait, didn't notice the one you were talking about.
Silly me.

Yeah, it was the Very British Name Generator.
I became Rupert Watson. I don't know about you, but to me it sounds like Harry Potter actor shipping.
