this reblog is baffling to me. what do you mean by this? 😭
something about writing fiction makes me feel so humiliated and stupid like ohhh hahar look at me i create a fake world and fake characters that engage in complex conflicts and love each other but SYKE its actually all me. its all just me. someone with no actual life whatsoever
also trying to explain worldbuilding to people without looking deranged “oh yeah this is the Snoopum where the Smorgasums go every Sormomorm” and then you get that blank stare + awkward grimace smile from people 😀
and it’s even worse if it’s closer to reality “this is Bob Nanders and he lives in a share house in Attard Malta and he feels this way about inflation” like im going to throw up who the fuck is Bob Nanders. go die

could u explain ur ocs and ur uviverse? theyre pretty cool but idek what their names are💗
DW I GOT YOU! I know my posts aren’t very organized so I’ll try to make this sort of an overall guide.
GUIDE TO MY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS:
1. You Ate My Heart 🎀
This was an idea for a graphic novel I started in high school. The premise was a bit ridiculous (involved love spells, multiple dimensions and very abstract existential ideas) but I still am very fond of the characters and the themes of friendship, romance and depression, so I might eventually make something with them :)
Characters:
Kitty Chau/Zhou 🐈
She is the protagonist. She’s a Malaysian-Chinese student who immigrates to the USA in order to live up to her own academic expectations. She is honestly kind of a depressed and irrational person, but she also feels a lot of empathy from others. The premise begins because in a lapse of judgement she eats two hearts and ends up casting love spells on two others.
Winghead 🪽
He is one of the most popular guys at Kitty’s school. He is absolutely normal aside from the fact that he has wings on his head and no one knows his real name except for his family. He is well liked for being nice and chill to everyone. He used to date a girl named Inez (shown below) but they broke up at the end of Junior Year, and he still seems torn up about it. He is one of the people Kitty casts a spell on, and because he knows everyone in town, pretty much everyone knows when he starts acting awry.
Veel Abigail Drake 👹
She is a demon princess lol?? Kitty is jealous of her ability to express herself unflinchingly. She has some magical abilities like breathing ice and fire. She comes from another dimension (that is well known in the world, it’s just treated as like another country) and has a belligerent and extreme temper. She has a strong moral code that doesn’t really apply well in delicate situations. She is another person who Kitty spells, and bc she’s a princess, it messes up generations of politics LOL
The story seems SO serious but to be honest 90% of the time I draw these guys, it’s for the shits and giggles
2. Driver OCS 🏎️
I got really into motorsports this year (NASCAR, Le Mans, F1) so I started working on a story just to enjoy researching and writing a realistic + fun character within the world of racing!
Characters:
Santana Marsh 💥
He is half-Spanish one-quarter-Catalan and one-quarter-Irish. He was born in Louisiana but moved to North Carolina as a kid. He is 27 years old and I have written an entire backstory starting from when he began go-karting at age 8. He’s pretty much been driving his whole life. He’s competed in the Allison Legacy Series, Xfinity Series, Nascar Cup Series, and the WEC/Le Mans, and in 2024 he was signed onto the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One Team.
He’s very calm, jokey, and drives like no one else. However he also doesn't like to examine his own emotions due to his difficult relationship with his father after the death of his mother, which is something he needs to work on.
So if I were make a comic or something about him, it would be about his 2024 season, where he meets my other F1 driver characters, etc.
Logan Abujhaad 🌊
He is a rookie - two years into his F1 Career on the Mercedes Petronas team. He is 23 years old and Franco-Marocain. He has had a much less lucrative career than Santana and has a wealthy background - he grew up in Marseille. He competed in Formula Renault, Three, and Two with the support of his family.
He is polite and charming and has a lot of female fans. He’s ruthless on the circuit, and is quite promising as a rookie from his determination alone. His story follows his rivalry with his teammate and his friendship with Santana, as well as his personal struggles with his nervousness and regrets.
I also have other Formula One characters but these are the main two. You can see my other characters in this post.
I think my dream outcome for this project is to make an animated film. Who knows!!
If u have other questions or just want to add a comment feel free to send an ask!

just rambling but why is storytelling SO HARD. i've been working on an animated film script as well as writing a short novella, and every day i lose the will to live
biggest obstacles
needs to NOT be wish-fulfilling bs. this usually means including characters with different values than mine that still do good things and characters with the same values as I that still do bad things.
needs to be researched properly so i don't end up creating a critical plothole
needs to have stakes and real consequences, can't just b rainbows and sunshine
i can't get distracted and bored of the story like i did last time, and last time, and last ti
