Your Lesson On Tim

Okay, titles... yeahhh... I never know. |D

Anyways, I can't believe I never showed this to you guys!

I had my theO username on there, so I must've intended to put it up in this world... o_o
Here's where his old profile is located: [click]
And here's a (not very) brief summary of how Tim's stayed the same or changed since I first made him:

Same
*Pretty much his appearance. I just couldn't draw him that well before... xD I've been drawing his standard blue tartan shirt since WAAAAY BACK. xD (And by way back, I mean 2 years ago. -u-)
*He's still cowardly, but not in the same sense that I had originally intended. I first wanted him to be like "wimpy-cowardly" like... idk, maybe as in he couldn't handle blood-and-gore/fights/heights/etc. In that sense, he's completely different because Current Tim is a bit of a thrill seeker and loves roller coasters. :D SOMETHING YOU MAY'VE NEVER KNOWN...
But anyways, he's still cowardly in the way that he doesn't assert his own opinions, and doesn't stand up for others even if he thinks he should. I guess that's more passive, than cowardly...
*Tim is still easily persuaded by others! Yes indeedy. But it's different because I originally meant for it to be he believed in what other people told him, but now it's more like he gets talked into "believing" something even if he's not to consensus with himself on the subject. (I'm not sure if I just used the word consensus correctly or not...)

Different
*"Very Dense" and "A Moron"... HEHE... no. xD; I think Tim is one of the least dense of my characters. He's pretty sharp, and easily picks up quirks and thought processes of others. (Which is kind of hard for me to portray... xD) Also, while both Dare and Tim are pretty smart about analyzing people, I think Tim has the upper hand on Dare because Tim can usually tell when someone has a crush on him or is crushing on someone, while Dare tends to be pretty oblivious to romance. (NO ONE CARES, AKIOH... Well, I guess you have to care a little bit to be reading this. xD)
*Backstory, whoa! I think Tim is one of the few characters whose "backstory" is actually his main story. xD; Like with Rick, meeting Dare in 4th grade isn't his whole story, and his "crisis" in 9th grade isn't his whole story either. (Idk, Rick's storyline is probably going to be the most romance-oriented out of the three of them.)
But yeah. Tim's story revolves around conflicts with his mom regarding his birth, and being "popular" with Jake and Clair (Clair for a lesser amount of time because he does eventually break up with her). I'm thinking I should put most of the romantic-y things/scenes/whatever with Tim and Rick into Rick's storyline/perspective in A Life Like This. Of course, it'll be present in Tim's storyline as well; but probably more prominently in Rick's. Well, when he finds out Tim is bi, at least. Before that, I guess it's up to Tim.
/talking too long
*LAID-BACK-NESS... Uh. Well when I first made Tim, he was really kind of hyperactive like Dare. (I-I THINK THIS HAPPENS A LOT... because Rick was like this, too. xDD) Eventually, he became a pretty chill dude. :V I mean, he does get riled up often. But he tends to be very casual about things. I think I've mention before that he has a kind of dry, sarcastic sense of humor.
*I also mention in the meme that he's pretty angsty and cynical. I don't normally like angsty characters that much, but MEH... It's Tim! I think Tim has reason enough. The "angstyness" is mostly seen in moments regarding his mom or social status or if he thinks about his dad that he's never met. BY THE WAY, I'm kind of always secretly freaking about about Tim's social status because I come from a fairly affluent family... so it's really hard for me to empathize because I don't know of anyone who lives in a similar situation to Tim, nor have I witnessed such situations. I'm always scared of exaggerating things. ;3; Which I probably do.
Anyways, what was I taking about... Oh yeah, his cynicalness. The cynicalness is usually only in his thoughts, and it's usually directed toward his classmates where he mentally criticizes them for their superficiality/naivety. In that sense, Tim is a little arrogant because he thinks of himself as smarter than a lot of his classmates. But he also thinks it's really pathetic of him to degrade his classmates to make him feel better about himself.

YEAH, LOTS OF RANDOM TIM STUFF! All of this should probably be in his character profile, but it's not. xDD Oh well.

Thanks for reading this giant text of texty stuff! :M Hopefully it was interesting enough. xDD Tim is one of my favorites, but I just don't draw him often because I can't think of any good pictures for him... >u> Haha. Actually, I am working on one of him and Clair. (?!?!)
I'll finish that soon. It's looking pretty alright so far. ;o But there's no background. xD; AS USUAL...

THIS POST IS FINITE! As in, it ends. Right now.
