Op is being a fucking asshole for no good reason and is butthurt at pushback.

I can say it in a way that isn’t completely intentionally hurtful to novice writers or people who write character first.

Writing stories with cohesive plot is a whole different wheelhouse from oc creation and character lore development, so it’s going to be tough to nail the storytelling you’re used to seeing from authors you admire.

If you’re going to turn your beloved OC into a story, try and think of a plot as robust as your character before you commit to writing if you want it to come out cohesive. Other folks aren’t going to know your OC or their lore as well as you, and taking that for granted is tough to get over! I would try and think of the timeline of your OC’s story in a way that may overlap with pacing similar to works you’ve enjoyed before. Or look for stories that are similar to what you’re trying to do and learn from them!

OP is a pretentious pussy that can’t handle that 1. people have different creative processes and 2. bad art is fun to create.

And what many people don’t realize is that this subculture was born as a way for young girls to express themselves in their own way. And it was also used as something against the adult life and the traditional culture, often seen as dull and boring and oppressive. By embracing cuteness, these young girls (and adult women, after a while) were showing non-conformation with the current standards.

NO OK THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!

This is also how the kawaii fashions started! Girls began dressing in cute and off beat styles for themsleves, they were criticized by adult figures telling them “you’ll never find a husband if you dress that way!” to which they began to reply “Good!”

All the Japanese subcultures and fashions that evolved out of this became a rebellion to tradition and the starch gender roles and expectations the adults were forcing on the younger generations. As early as the 70s and still to this day you’ll see an emphasis on child-like fashion and themes in more kawaii styles and the dismissal of the male gaze with styles like lolita (a lot of western people assume lolita is somehow sexual due to the name of the fashion, but ask any Japanese lolita and they will tell you that men hate the style and find it unattractive which is sometimes a large reason they gravitate towards the style - they can express their femininity and individuality while remaining independent and without the pressure to appeal to men)
