glances at my old self-inserts uhhhh nope never

Ahaha I knew I wasn't the only one XDD

Just realized Daniella can't write my personal essay for obvious reasons. Oh well.

Hey wait you might be on to something there

_{Anybody else ever just.....pretend to be one of your ocs to get through a rough day? Like you're tired and stressed and frustrated so you pretend you're that one edgy emo character with a tragic past who's always sad and it ironically makes you feel a bit better?}

Laughs uncomfortably

Seriously though, some of my characters' mannerisms have rubbed off on me. I've occasionally spoke weird (like, this one day I used way less contractions because one of my characters is grammar obsessed) because I was just thinking about them.

Ah yes that too!! One time I even started walking different for a day because the oc I was excited about at the time was an elderly person with a limp xDD It's kinda fun tbh

I like to act like my favourite OC, Azrael, sometimes like acting all mysterious and stuff

Nope. I'm nine, I'll say it now. I play games. All the characters in those games are my own. Not wierd.

I don't pick up my characters' mannerisms, they pick up mine.

Same.

same tbh. But sometimes when i'm having a rough day, I think to myself "okay, my mc could get through this, so could you" and it helps me out a lot lol.

Can't relate

Sometimes my characters act as role models for me, or even a moral compass once in a while lol. If I'm feeling sorta bratty or resentful about something unimportant, more often than not my good boi D'artagnan will pop into my head and look disappointed in me until I snap out of it XD And I really try to be as kind and caring as he is. It's difficult, but I think our heroes are meant to be good examples for us, y'know? They don't all have to be super flawed or "relatable" just to be liked. If that makes any sense ^^;

Is it weird that I hate making anything bad happen to my characters because they ARE my children and only friends

nah, thats how a lot of people are. Its so hard for me to make my bbs sad because i want them to be happy and live a good life. Thats why i've only ever killed off one character xD

It's not weird, nah. I felt the same way for most of my life as a writer.

_{Trust me, it'll pass. One day your fave oc will be the one with a tragic backstory, a life of eternal struggle, and a future of bittersweet-ness at best TvT}

_{Or not. Feel free to prove me wrong lol}

Yes and no

I get what you mean. They inspire me as well at times.

Also what does D'artagnan mean? Or is it a bunch of sounds?

But yeah. When I think of the pain Areni goes through when she finally breaks and thinks her husband is dead… That can really hurt. But I bring him back so…

It's the fourth musketeer.

I really should have read that.

Also what does D'artagnan mean? Or is it a bunch of sounds?

Apparently it means "From Artagnan"? But yeah, one of my characters is named after the 4th musketeer, mostly because I really liked that name when I was thirteen ^^; Most of his friends just call him Dar at this point.

I see.

I lied. I dont know how many questions i'll have so be prepared.
Is it weird to be in love with some of my OCs?

A little.

Not like super in love, but just a little bit in love

My Holden

Not like super in love, but just a little bit in love

I had a bit of a crush on a few of mine before. More than actual people Lol. Like Gaudari. Frickin love her.
