you know the thing where a character is so full of trauma that their personality and personhood is buried deep within and it takes time, space and healing to coax it back to the surface, little by little? very good trope. i think it most often manifests as a character finding that they're kind and gentle and lovable. which is great. love a healing narrative.
anyway the thing about neil josten is that once you manage to override his instincts to flee long enough, is that he turns out to be such a bitch (affectionate). he's spent so long avoiding notice and slipping through fingers like his life depended on it (because it did), but when he's forced into the spotlight he's going to make it everyone's problem. catharsis and schadenfreude two for one deal
one of the best things about having aftg books on kindle is when it comes to writing oc lore I can just grab the kindle go to the books and quickly scan through for the information I need (I say this as I need fo get the kindle without having my mum be mad that I'm stealing it again, I also have to read ad or listen to tsc so woooo reasons) but yeah elio lore will drop with his character desgin soon probably later tonight, or later tomorrow or on Friday idk yet his lore has changed alot to what it used to be so like neil may or may not be trans and may or may not be the parent who cares at this point (its my I'm who cares so me trying to figure out a way to actively have it make sense that elio does have a legal birth certificate where his surename is wesninski)
okay so yall know how in like shows,books,movies just a lot of media's there's characters that do a bunch of fucked up stuff, and like a lot of people will get like complaints/criticism/hate ig for either writing stuff for said characters cosplaying said characters and stuff and like I'll be honest here I'm a hotd fan I'm a aegon fan like do I support the shit he has done NO I don't support it, (unless were on about after his sons death with the war and all then yeah sure I do to an extent, the same way i support team black) I find his character interesting, heck I find Nathan from aftg interesting.
are there fandoms that make different versions of characters yes there are, I'm pretty sure there's a fannon version of aegon that didn't sa anyone and I'm pretty sure people who do hotd fanfic with ocs and pair them with characters use that version heck I have aegon fanfic in the works however the character is diffrent to fit the plot of what I'm writing with said oc character I have (I just outed myself for this oh well)
but like don't send hate to actors who portray the characters because it isn't there doing there just doing their jobs
just adding to this the narrator who is called dias who is the one with the kid the kids name is milo is like unreliable in the sense that he doesn't really care at the start of what the groups going he also doesn't really give two fucks about himself so like all his energy that either isn't put into keeping milo alive or ice hockey is literally used making the teams issues harder i mean like it does get better after like the groups been dealing with it for 3 months on the 5 month someone in the team dies because of the whole crime familys thing going on in the actual world they all live in
me out here writing a oc fic thing of a college ice hockey team one of them has a kid the teams dysfunctional as fuck and they end up going to a doffrent dimension every night for 6-8 hours and there's the fucking crime family shit not to mention suicide crime family has a damn facility for these experiments on the other dimension man this team is going so much shit
so I did this quiz and uhhh
what the fuck how
like I'm being fr how the fuck did I get seth gordon don't get me wrong I do like his character and I do think he deserved to live longer but like I rlly got the character that was doomed to die from the very start

(low key based on my answers i thought i might get seth so v interesting)

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

both of theses fics made me wanna cry they are both so beautifully written.
@minyard-05 your telepathy au is making me wanna sob because now all I can think of is every damn moment in those books like the final game for example aaron just hearing Andrews thoughts while he's running to get to Neil
hey if you read & liked my fic Talk To Me, you HAVE to read this incredible addition by @sunriseabram it's amazing <33333
PREACH BAMBAM
you always be speaking the people's truth
"Andrew would've done the same as Riko if he was in Riko's position"
nobody would've done the same as Riko in Riko's position that's the fuckig point
Riko wasn't torturing people "to survive" he was just a fucking psycho like I really need y'all to think for a second
it's the best thing about having ocs tho you just get to brainstorm little silly ideas for them
having OC’s is crazy for real because no one else gives a fuck meanwhile you’ll be at the function thinking about them (guys who are not real) like
I live for twinyard angst man, it was really good to read :]
hey do you ever wonder if sometime during his degree aaron took a class about drugs and drug addictions and found out that quitting cold the way he did from the amount of drugs he was on could've killed him. do you ever wonder if andrew knew. do you ever wonder if there's a different timeline where aaron didn't survive the bathroom
