author vs character tag

I was tagged by @talesofsorrowandofruin. Thank you very much!! This is the third time I'm doing this tag, and so it's time for me to bring out a character I haven't really gotten to talk much about on this blog: my beloved pf2e witch, Morana!

Rules: Make a Venn diagram graphic that shows what you and your character have in common and where you differ.

It didn't fit on the chart, but not only are both of us not religious, we are both named after goddesses. Of course, I'm the one who named both of us, and she exists in a fantasy world where her divine namesake doesn't exist, but still, it's a bit funny.

I should also add that we're both rather morbid and a bit nonchalant when it comes to the topic of death. But that was too long to fit on the graph.

I'm going to tag @akindofmagictoo @oh-no-another-idea @reneesbooks @dragon-swords-prophecies and @zinabug-writes. I know several of you have already done it, but I want you to do it again!! Pick a new character!! Bonus points if you pick a TTRPG character. <3

“I promised you bears, Marty! I came back to give you bears!”

Fandom: Back to the Future Rating: T (flippant discussions of violence/ illnesses, language) Genre: Meta, Parody Summary: In which I, a "seasoned" "whump" author, reunite with Marty in my infinite office building for another unhinged month of annoying albeit diabolical torment to celebrate my second year hosting June of Doom.

Me: “But—”

Arthur: “I said no!”

author vs character tag

I was tagged to do this again by @dragon-swords-prophecies. Thank you, Copper!! I've been dying to do this for more OCs, so I'm very, very glad you tagged me!

I ended up deciding to do Carrion this time.

(I was low-key tempted to put "stupid" on Carrion's column, but I ran out of space.)

Idk who has and hasn't done this, so I'm going to make this one an OPEN TAG! (If you do this, please say I tagged you. I love this tag game SO MUCH and want to see more people's OCs.)
