55 Times People Completely Reinvented Themselves And Everyone Noticed (New Pics)
Some of the greatest movies and books are based on gripping character arcs. Someone stumbles, struggles, learns a lesson and gets back up to conquer the world. The writing is well thought-out, creative, and captivating. Think The Godfather, Schindler's List, Gone Girl, and even Toy Story.
But character arcs aren't only reserved for entertainment. They're playing out every day, all around us, in real life, too. Unlike fictional characters, real human beings don't get the luxury of a well-scripted story. Some endings are victorious, others are messy, and a few are absolutely tragic.
There's an online community that showcases "character arcs in a photo." The page is a wall of screenshots that perfectly encapsulate what it means to be human, how each of us has our own unique story to tell, and how our opinions or attitudes can change over time. Bored Panda has put together a list of some of the best posts from r/characterarcs for you to scroll through while you contemplate your own personal development.

Was Looking At Comments For That “Please Don’t Go To School” Song And Found This Gem

From Reddit: "Answer: according to the wikitubia article on him: In August 2022, a group of Dave's ex-partners accused him of hebephilia, grooming, sexual coercion, emotional abuse, mental abuse, and physical a***e among other allegations, as well as claiming that he was a drug abuser in a post to his subreddit."

Red does not need to go back to school, but blue might benefit from it. Using "lesbian" as an adjective for two different things in two consecutive sentences IS confusing.

Same here! Still very much a beginner but I love seeing the progress and seeing something that I MADE instead of typing a prompt. 10/10 would recommend. (My art in reply)

I once saw a beautiful exchange on Reddit. I forgot the usernames, but one was identifiably male, let's call him Michael. The question was something along the lines of "Would you do this for your boyfriend?" Michael: "[something something] I could see myself do that." Redditor: "But then you'd be dating a guy." Michael: "Some people are gay, Steve." Redditor: "Oh." I don't know why, but that made me laugh SO hard! Just "oh". I love it.
