I get where you're coming from, but when I'm writing my character, I like to get into their head and explore how they're thinking and feeling, how they're reacting to the world around them and exploring the differences between what they're thinking and what they're actually saying. And in Arty's case, if people insult him or act derisively towards him, he's not going to think particularly charitable thoughts towards somebody. The entire point of his character, in a way, is that he has this anger and this vengeful attitude bubbling away inside but he never really shows it if he can avoid it. The only real way to show that is by showing how he is actually thinking and feeling in the moment.<br/><br/>I get why it might appear that way, but Arty's thoughts and feelings are his, not necessarily mine, and when he feels like he's being insulted or derided, his thoughts are going to turn dark and I'm sorry but I'm not going to apologise for that and I don't think it fair that I get criticised because Arty is feeling upset and vindictive after being insulted and whatnot.
