<Snipped quote by Piddle>

I found it is either that, an excuse to be really passive, or it's just an excuse for the character to be a cock-sleeve, excuse my language, for the other character. There's no substance. 

Perhaps worth noting that I have had good experiences with people that wrote sub characters (or, rather, I have had one) but that was an expert writer. Shy, depressed characters are the same. It needs to be done well, or not at all. :lol

Wait, for real!? Assen represent! And also Amerfoort, but that's where my apartment is, doesn't quite feel as homey as Assen :')

Cocksleeve made me giggle. But it's quite often very true. 

And same, a friend of mine can write the shy, easily intimidated sort in an amazing way (one of her characters actually gets into a lot of odd situations, simply because he's very bad at saying no and walking away).
