Funny story...
So I firmly believe that as you write for a character, they evolve and change without your doing. I honestly believe this and have experienced it with all of my characters.
The black hair character above is Silver, the other is Joanus. From the get-go, Joanus had unrequitted feelings for Silver who was in a relationship with a female character. But this relationship was absolutely dreadful. No matter how hard I tried to make it work I just never was happy with any outcome. It made me want to give up the story entirely. If I couldn’t even like the main couple how was I supposed to get through an entire story with them being together while I cringed the whole time?
And I soon saw the light..
Listening to overly sappy romantic Backstreet Boys love songs made me think of Joanus and his love for Silver. I kept playing scenes over and over in my head, imagining Silver and Joanus. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks..
The reason I hated my storie’s main couple is because I had the wrong couple.
Silver and Joanus were the absolute perfect match and I have never been happier. Thank the heavens that I had this realization because it saved a story I truly hold dear to my heart.
Just look at them. So cute it’s disgusting. I’m gonna vomit.
