#setting:ruali

revamping ocs youve had since you were young is great I love knowing that I started with "just a normal girl having highschool adventures :)" and am now at "ok so this is the point where she realizes that their friendship has been enabling her unhealthy thought patterns. and she starts seeing their ghost which is not really helping"

having ocs that age with you is really awesome. when I made the previous iteration of my rualians in middle school I put them in some, like, vaguely defined school (maybe middle school, maybe high school, just wherever all the other Relatable Teen Protagonists were going). then when I started their current iteration in high school I put them more firmly in high school, then a couple years later decided college would fit them better. and now Im also in college

vivi is the kinda person to have characterized itself as a Feral Chaos Gremlin on tumblr circa 2017 and I dont think it ever fully grew out of that mindset

I think kal should actually have really shit emotional regulation but its just hidden under so much repression/dissociation that they dont even Know yet
