#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebHonestly my fav is probably the Jocelyn and Nyx one and the Corvina and Ara Joker one XD
but the two about the Cirquians and me allowing my charries to get nearly murdered crack me up too.

#ProtectSebGirl your charries are so consistently a mood
#ProtectAdolinKholin
@whalekeeper why thank you XD
and that is to be expected considering all of them represent at least one aspect of…well…
me.
XD
mostly anyway.
so they are definitely, always A mood.
which?
Who knows. XD

#ProtectSebSeriously tho…I love these babies so much…and I relate to them so much…or I guess they relate to me?? XD it’s very strange when they each have a part of you.
it’s legit like they’re standing in line and your just like “HERE YA GO!” And then you give them a piece of your heart and soul, and with it they each get a part of your personality. Who you are. Or maybe someone you know. You take inspiration from what you know.
or for me that’s what it’s like.
Me getting all sentimental 🥲
I’m not sure which I connect with the most…since it changes depending on how I feel…
But honestly…it’s probably November, Jocelyn and Arabella. And Corvina, in those darker times.
Those main four I think probably hold the most of Me in them, though they all have a piece.
That was kinda random…I just felt like typing that XD

@godlyfantasy12 the memesssss 😂😂😂😂😂😂
and yessss, girl…I feel you XXD My characters all have a piece of me in them (Riker is way more like me than I ever really try to admit, heh 😅), even some of the most faithful followers of God or even the most broken of them…idk, they all have a piece of me, y’know?
(I can even see how Hans does, oddly enough…🤔😅)
I mean it’s true, that’s often the best way to make your character feel human. And something important to remember is characters are simplifications or exaggerations of reality. You don’t have to necessarily put all of yourself into a character – instead, you put in a sliver, and magnify it by a thousand percent. Yeah?
I’m not going to psychoanalyze your characters… because by extension I’d be analyzing you XD (You can conduct that examination on yourself)
But like, Sebastian isn’t an exact replica of me, by any means XD
Instead, he represents how I felt my first year of highschool. I didn’t want to keep my mouth shut when people acted like I didn’t exist, and I didn’t want to care.
Who cares if people think I’m the shy, awkward kid? Pff, not me. Nuh-uh. No way.
And that was how Seb was born – because if I couldn’t scrape up the courage to say my snarky quips out loud, I might as well say them in my head. (Of course now I don’t need him, because I am now known as the quiet yet chaotic student XD)
But yeah, I’m guessing it’s the same thing for you. But here’s a question… do your characters change over time because you change over time? Or do they remain a frozen artifact from a certain era of your personal growth…?
But also, can you conceivably create a character with a backstory you can’t relate to, but an aftermath personality you can? Vice-versa?
#ProtectAdolinKholin
Oh yea! My characters change/have changed as I’ve changed! That’s the whole point of their story after all! Growth!! That’s the whole point of a character arc. A theme.
A character must grow. I’m growing. My characters are growing with me.
I want to give a message to the world with the struggles I’ve gone through and overcome and am still trying to overcome. I want other to be able to read this series and, no matter who they are, they’re background, saved or no, be able to grab hold of at least ONE of my multiple MCs and say “I relate to this person…” in some way. Some form.
Thats my goal. My desire. To show them Jesus through this, and through that personal relation of this character and themselves.
Fiction can be so much more then JUST fiction, ya know?
Why not make it work for the good of the Lord? And His creation?
Also, yes, my characters have many backgrounds that I have never gone through, will never go through, don’t know people who have gone through it (exactly) etc. Especially being in a fantasy setting lol. But yea, I can relate to most personalities, because while you can’t relate to all backstories, you can relate to all personalities.
Not in the essence that YOU have that personality, but in the essence that you know someone who does.
This doesn’t mean you like the way this character portrays it, because this character may be toxic, etc. but personality wise? Yea, you understand it.
And it does help being an empathetic person (which I consider myself to be) and thus even if I’ve never been in your situation, I can very much be open about it and try to see things from everyone’s perspectives and feel what you feel.
Even if you’re a villain, if you give me the backstory, I usually relate and depending on what’s going on, it actually makes me question my judgement sometimes (and that sometimes scares me XD) but the truth is, it’s just because I’m a person who likes to be able to see both sides of the coin. I like to be as unbiased as I can when it comes to people (and no I’m not unbiased about everything at all. I do have bias about things lol) but there are some things I try to be very open about and empathetic with.
but basically to answer ur questions: Yes, my charries change over time, and yes, I can create those kinds of characters 😊
