You never feel the need to paint my feathers with any particular color. When the time of flight comes, you’d like me to reflect the colors of the world as I experience it. And those colors shall be reflected back on your eyes: an ever-changing shade, a gratitude.

So why do people find their OCs from age fifteen so humiliating to contemplate then?  :/

The depressing truth is that people find their OCs from age fifteen humiliating because we’re trained to do so. We’re constantly bombarded with the idea that creating characters freely and without limits is somehow innately cringey and, in a lot of cases, people get mocked for it if not outright harassed or insulted. I look at my OCs from when I was fifteen and yeah, their designs are a little goofy, but holy shit! I was so much more creative in some ways, and willing to take risks in character design that I’m still trying to re-learn how to do now!

Fuck cringy.
