confession. i renamed my ocs in my head like 6 months ago and idk if i can continue on with reed and lacey. sorry.
theyre 3+ years old and i made them as a teen/early adult based on preexisting canon characters and i feel like theyve both outgrown everything i originally did with them. theyre supposed to be mid twenties but now that im almost 21 they just feel really sloppy lmaoo. i dont care for their designs and personalities and i think everything just needs a rehaul.
I AM NOT LEAVING THEM BEHIND. they are simply entering a cocoon and being reborn. they will forever be near and dear to my heart and i have never been so passionate about my own characters. as i enter a new stage of my life i look back at them and realize they kind of started to exist in circles. truthfully i havent been able to bring myself to do oc stuff because it has made me weirdly uncomfortable (?) to look back at them and see my Deeply Traumatizing Living Situation. we just need to grow and move on and leave this behind us
this post is so goddamn serious for no reason lmao i promise it boils down to being chill its actually exciting because i will do oc stuff again yay! but change is scary even if its a good change and i have been feeling this deeply as i basically ran away from home and now live free to do as i wish. this post is fucking crazy BYE. i just dont think i can mentally continue with reed and lacey as they are currently. they were born into a time where i wasnt allowed to learn how to drive, was told i didnt ever need to get a job, that it wasnt a priority to finish high school and go to college, which i feel like seeped into how i wrote them. there is just this sense of hopelessness and despair looming over them as characters and its depressing. i know theyre not real but i feel really horrible i ever created something so miserable. so i want it to change
i know reed and lacey and the rest have diehard fans (?THANK YOU) and im not going to be mad if anyone continues calling them their old names (havent revealed new names or anything because im still working on stuff) or old designs i appreciate every single piece of art ive ever received and the countless conversations ive had with my friends about them! its just a me thing personally. idk. why even post this. i just wanted to talk about whats been going on and this is my oc blog.
i legit have like 4 followers here LMAOOO so like again it is NOT that serious but reed and lacey are essentially a part of me and im trying to be kinder to myself so this is what i want to do. ok maybe thanks for reading idk if anyone cares BYEEEEHELPPPP
TLDR OC STUFF SOON ITS JUST GONNA BE DIFFERENT FROM HERE ON OUT. OK THX
