This is super cheesy, but your old post about no longer feeling pressure to put your OCs through the Worst Shit has drastically changed my storytelling, so that's something I associate with you. į( į )į
thatās not cheesy at all. iām surprised i didnāt delete it, i usually chicken out when it comes to posting writing opinions. [or did i? when did i even post it? i canāt remember. oh well.]
i guess at the end of the day people have different relationships with their characters, and they may be using their charactersā stories to work through different things. plenty of people go to the other end and want escapism instead, but who knows? they might write a character with a sad backstory to process something sad in their real life.
i just donāt think anybody needs to do it for the sake of edginess being deep, thatās all. @theivorytowercrumbles has written some posts about ākilling off less characters in storiesā and ādoing character death for a reasonā that i really enjoy.
