It's Utterly Magnetic When A Character's Rage Is Quiet And Precise. When They Don't Scream And Throw

“You are the most unlikable person with 18 Charisma I’ve ever met.”

“I can choose not to use it.  The orc has a high Strength, that doesn’t mean he HAS to be lifting things all the time.”

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

I do love when two very fucked up people are in very fucked up love with each other

I'm going to take a little break from the dash. I got some bad news on Friday that's led to a low mood that's been threatening to bleed into things a little more than I'd like in spite of my best attempts. I'll be back when I'm feeling a little more steady.

"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

( This post is starting to get some attention, so I'd appreciate it if you'd follow my art blog @katlyntheartist )

i don't care how 'cringe' or 'mary sue' you think your oc is. i think your oc is cool and i think you should talk about your oc more.

this applies to everyone

Not soulmates but it always had to be them and they weren't destined to be together but they were doomed to be but also it took everything for them to get here and also it was never supposed to happen but also it always was and had to happen this way. Hope this helps

The week's been incredibly draining for me and my brain is still making dialup noises but I miss interacting SO bad. I'm going to try to ease back into things but don't be surprised if I suddenly go quiet again.

I am actually so serious I think it really messes with a childs creativity and joy to tell them to never make a mary sue OC. Like that unbridaled form of joy where you make a self insert OC who super cool and everyone loves them and they have every superpower in the world SHOULD be something a kid makes, it nourishes their ability to create things for fun and not be stifled by "oh but what if my character is too overpowered and cringey...". whatever
