CHARACTER + PLANET DIRECTORY (WIP)

delilah means the world to me she's the first non-fandom oc i made and consistently gave a fuck about after years and years and years of not having the confidence to do that (and also being too depressed). she's such a love letter to all the annoying know it all girl characters i loved as a kid, but above all she's also a love letter to myself, having been the annoying know it all girl character in my own real life lol. she represents my aspirations as well as my regrets/insecurities. she started out as me saying "what kind of person would result from me if i had been strong enough to follow the path i expected to take without wavering or stumbling." i thought she would always remain an image of who i thought i'd grow into when i was little but failed to. but over the years as i've developed inside my life, i've become more and more like her again. i feel like she's the first time i consciously took inspiration from myself while also managing to not make a complete 1:1 self insert with the colors swapped. she's been almost like a friend to me in the years since i made her: all, what... like eight of them??? and while she's been heavily shaped by how i've put her into collaborative stories, just as i've been shaped by the relationships surrounding those stories, she started as something wholly my own, we started this rebirth with just the two of us. we met so many people along the way and we are both richer for it, but if those relationships fail someday (may it never happen!) we will still have each other...
