I don't have the actual word fuzzy, but I can offer this rather fuzzy chase scene.

Day 9

Most cynical character in both DG & TP is Nelson’s pianist father, both the 1990s and 1970s versions. He’s reasonably skeptical/jealous of Local Boy’s dangerous folk rock appeal and questionably cynical of everything else.

9. Most cynical character

Drahl is a tall, slender human in his 30s who's seen too much of the world and trusts almost no one. He lives in the literal underground beneath the capital and makes a living in crime, preferring the kind that screws over the wealthy elite.

Ralpho the aid to the bounty-hunter antagonist. A dour Puritan who has nothing but contempt for mankind & his sinful ways, but hypocritically fixates on women's bodies while comparing them to animals.

#TimeTravelAuthors Probably either Det. Joyce (basically a fugitive from a noir novel) or Tara.
Although Lock himself is pretty cynical.

#TimeTravelAuthors D9 Cynical character is Major Alexis Kolokof, spy chief for Russia in Vancouver BC, the blessed posting. He is fond of the time traveller Diplomat and watches out for him. A recent rescue has him fuming, after cooking breakfast for everyone.

#TheDragonblood: The most cynical character might be Sabrina. She's seen a lot, watching both mortals and her fellow gods over eons. And she's tried to make things better and had limited success.

@jack-hollings.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 4:47 PM

Bright, my poor boy. A medic forced to see his friends die time and time again, and cursed with remembering. In an infinite loop, what's the point of saving lives? what's the point of guiding them?
even so, should he not try?

D9 Most Cynical Character
Many think Shadz of Odini is the most cynical, but really he is a stoic
Huntsman Yuri of Adamos is 100% the most cynical. Almost everyone he trusted betrayed him in the last war. He trusts no one, not even himself, and has barely any hope

@ellisrosales.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 4:11 PM

#TimeTravelAuthors Most cynical character? I don't think I can point to any of them, be that in #AndinoAndina or #TimeShift The cynic used to be me, the author, in the past. Grief is giving me a beating and I don;'t know who I'll be going forward.

@juliebihn.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:47 PM

Most cynical character? Oh, Sahar. I love her, but her hatred of Historytown, her thoughts that history is terrible (which maybe she has a point), even her takes on true love… (Then again, she's a paramedic, and I think that would make anyone cynical. Never mind her past.)

#TimeTravelAuthors D9

Most cynical character? Definitely Sam.
But, as someone who has experienced the murder of her father, the death of her brother, an uncaring mother, abuse at home, and the horrors of time travel, you can't blame her for not having the most optimistic view of the world.

#TimeTravelAuthors Oct 9: Most cynical.

That's really hard for me as in my story, only two of the characters haven't had the hope beaten out of them by life. I'd vote the most cynical is Dave's brother because he actively tries to read into people to prove they don't have the best intentions.

@rammwriter.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 9:14 AM

D9. The MC is probably the most cynical - though most people would probably be cynical when presented with time travel as fact rather than fantasy. Unless you're a quantum scientist or a bent politician in my story, you're going to doubt what the powers that be are telling you.

I suppose Alba, leader of a nomadic scavenger culture, is cynical. She doesn't believe outsider help is worthwhile, that her people can only stand alone. Circumstances in her community push her to even consider violence against outsiders before asking for help.

#WIPSnips 8 October I don't have lizard so you get bumblebee. #TimeShift #specfic #TimeTravelAuthors

 In the fading autumn light, I can see the last bright splashes of colour of the Nasturtiums. There are other evergreens and even a Japanese Maple tree outside what I think must be Gillian's office window. In the corner is a Buddha statue with a water feature tinkling away. I tiptoe around in my already wet and dirty socks, with an unfamiliar sense of reverence. As I look closer, there is a sleepy bumblebee curled up in one of the fiery blossoms.

There's nothing remotely like a lizard in my story. The absolute best I can manage is a bluebottle.
