I have a lot of what I call 'traumamuffin' characters. They're not edgelords with tragic backstories, they're actually very kind, good people with tragic backstories.

👇 An excellent summary of Trump and Musk's backstories.
It’s striking how similar Trump and Elon Musk actually are. Both got money from dad & started on 3rd base, both were more ruthless than intelligent, & both had fake and manufactured reputations, one thru a TV show & the other thru spin that he was “the real Tony Stark“ when he never built anything.
