[Blatant Lie Answer]

- How much do you love your writing?

Honestly, I feel like there’s nothing that I can really do to get better at writing at this point? It’s so easy and actually kind of boring by now, I sit down and the words just flow!

- Thoughts on Bystander Effect?

Kind of over it by now. It’s been a fun two years but I want to move on and write other things. The main character falls kind of flat nowadays and most of the things I had planned for it don’t really spark much joy anymore.

Undertale/Deltarune opinion?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Eh. They’re nothing special.

[Actual Honesty answer because I went to bed like right after posting the Anti-Honesty Hour post and I’m also actually really emotional about all of these questions]

- How much do you love your writing?

I have… so many emotions about my writing in general. It’s a form of anxiety release when it works, and I’m always trying to figure out new ways to get better and to incorporate more things that I’m learning into my writing. I wish I could say it’s easy – I’ve actually been going through a pretty severe case of seasonal apathy, where even though I know what I want to write next, I just can’t seem to make myself sit down and actually write it. I’ve been trying to combat this by doing more planning-oriented things, but it’s a slow going process. =n=

- Thoughts on Bystander Effect?

I am so frustrated that I can’t get myself to just sit down and work on this monstrosity lately. I’ve poured so much of myself into this gosh darned fic that not finishing it is just not an option anymore, to the point where most of the overall themes are pinned down and the big major events for  the climax are figured out almost to a T. I know exactly how I want to tackle Hotland, the Core, New Home, side missions and relationship building moments I want to pin down, special events and character building, especially for Ellie’s character arc – but I’m just. I dunno, man, I open the doc and sit there for like five minutes just feeling absolutely no desire to actually work on it? While conversely yelling at myself how much I want to work on it. It’s frustrating!

- Undertale/Deltarune opinion?

[Insert long happy screaming into a pillow here]

Undertale was the game that became my obsession three and a half years ago – it got me through the first several months of my current job, back when I was still fighting down the work-related anxiety of “what if I fail as badly as I did at the last one”, and I wouldn’t be myself today if it didn’t exist. I owe a lot of emotions and comfort to the characters.

Deltarune gave me possibly even more emotions – that sort of emotional surge you get from finding a really good AU fanfic and get to dive in with all of your favorite characters all over again, and get to see all the ways that the environment around them changes their character while it stays the same. I love Kris, Ralsei, and Susie as the main protagonists, Lancer makes an adorable enemy-to-friend, and I really look forward to where Toby goes with it in the future.
