15- We all project onto our characters. Where has your personality or life choices leaked onto the page the most?
oh man, i do it a loooot, itās hard to say what the mostĀ is.Ā direct scenarios?Ā my personality?Ā real people?Ā thereās little slivers and chunksĀ of me in all kinds of stuff, and stiles calls to me so much because so much of just his base character, his sense of humor, his avoidance of problems, his sarcasm, is also my natural resting state.
i remember getting a comment about what a disaster stiles is for using his dryer as a closet inĀ [hilary duff lyric redacted].Ā *raises hand* hey, hi, thatās me.Ā Ā
violet and stilesā conversations in of bananas, babies and buzzkills... some of it is taken verbatim from me and my sister.Ā Ā
stiles inĀ pick a pack of pestered puppies is probably most accurately me in his interactions.Ā insensitive but striving to still be helpful, gets along weirdly excellently with parents, showing up for your friends but not wanting to inconvenience themĀ into showing up for you, dealing with that feeling of being left out of a group, his sense of humor, etc, etc, that one i wrote really quickly and then realized i essentially just wrote meĀ as soon as it went up, lol.
iāve said before but two pants scott from seat belts & gravity is a real person i met in high school, and we did actually name him two pants scott for the exactĀ reason heās named two pants scott in the fic, down to the spider-man pjs.Ā Ā
derekās coping mechanism inĀ birds of a feather is me, me, me and exactly how i (donāt)-deal with things, not to mention the fraughtness of just havingĀ a sibling in general.Ā (which i would love to see in fic more!!!)
other fics are nothing more than inspired by the books or fics i just read, some so much so that it can put me right back into that story when i read it (instructions for dancing is the night circus by erin morgenstern, our puddle is deceptively deep is by a law divine by mirrorkill, etc. - they have nothing to do with each other except they inspired me to write).Ā Ā
sevens and eights is probably my most personal one because i donāt like to talk about my ???? sexuality because i just generally donāt like things i donāt understand and that is definitely numero uno of those things and thatās probably the most iāve ever tried to conceptualize myself in that regard, which is TERRIFYING, OKAY.
