hey checkov, of the character youve written and released so far, whos been the most fun to write and whos been the most difficult?
I’ll bite, because this is a fun question.
The easiest to write have been Rose and Amethyst, because I feel like Amethyst’s motivations are easy to understand and Rose I’ve been thinking about so long that I am just incapable of NOT channeling her.
The hardest has been, weirdly enough, Steven, but not for the reason you might think.
I have a good grasp of Steven and his motivations but he has a LOT of conflicting things about him. There’s layers to his trauma, and layers to his trust issues, and layers to his urge to Do His Best and Be A Good Person.
And because I’ve already developed this story quite a ways beyond the current plot, I have to constantly do mental gymnastics back and forth between the Steven NOW and how he will be in the future while simultaneously making it all make sense for the current situation, AND allowing him enough time to grow and react to things in a more natural way.
