It is incredibly unfair that Chono has to stare at spreadsheets all day while Six is off having Mad Max style adventures on the frontier planets.

I love pretending to be normal in social settings bc it’s like how long will it take until they find out a screw is absolutely loose. how long can I keep this going for

"you only like her because shes a woman" yup "you let female characters get away with too much" yes "if a man did this you would hate him for it" indeed

i DO believe that a good writer can make mischaracterization work. oh there's a character who doesn't normally cry? figure it out!! disect the character. make the situation cryable for them. make that character cry ugly tears even if it goes against their very nature. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!

A great piece of advice I've seen is "Don't fixate about what the character would never do. Think about the circumstances that would drive them to do this, even if they wouldn't normally."

Best advice ever!

character will get 10x hotter with the addition of blood btw. bonus points for disheveled hair, untucked clothing, and glazed, feverish eyes.

Write that one-shot. Those 3 chapters will be the best 10 chapters you ever wrote

Harrowhark Nonagesimus would be soo good with computers if they were widespread in Dominicus. I will not hear out any "but she would be tech illiterate..." arguments. She is powered by spite and her imaginary corpse friend, she would learn C++ in two days if it meant being better than those who won't. She would love to ban Gideon off the tlt universe internet with a single fucking click, and she is willing to learn 10 programming languages just to do it in increasingly surreal and comical means. She would enjoy making the machine do exactly what she wants because she needs that extra bit of control, she would invent malware that summons skeletons in your room to spread the ninth house vibes across dominicus.

cleric chono haunted by both the absence and presence of six. chono with her small artisan-made chest hiding six’s letters like secrets tucked neatly beneath her chest. chono, always seemingly one step behind the ghost of her childhood best friend, forever chasing after them. cleric chono, steady and levelheaded chono, coming back together with six like the passing seasons.

"what if they fucked" WRONG. what if they ruined each other's lives irreparably. what if there was nothing left but a smoldering heap. what if everything that brought them together twisted and corroded and ripped them apart. and then they fucked.

I don't want a cast of healthy characters I want them all to be varying degrees of suicidal

is anyone else their father’s female son

it gets to a point that is just weirder if they didn't fuck

you did all this and it was not even because you wanted to bang him? weirdo

do you ever think about chono whose identity and purpose is devotion to the six gods to righteousness to justice and then six walks in and becomes the object of that same devotion just redirected because chono is using the same mechanism of worship but pointed to a new altar and how even separated by light years they’ll still find each other: but to go. and to come back…. because i think about it all the time

#i have still not recovered #i probably never will #six and chono my beloveds
