#maybe rant?

My character was once described as an emotionally stunted immortal and I don't know why, but I feel like that reader understood completely what I was going for.

The only problem is that I'm not sure if it should be taken as a compliment or an insult.

Because she's basically a part of me /j

She's been on my mind since I was 14, so I basically grew up thinking about her.

But I feel like I might've spoken to her when I had personality issues. 🤷 I'm so glad those days are over. (Might be wrong though)

I became an author so that I could be able to discern my reality from my imagination. Otherwise, I would live in my imagination and never be able to tell it apart from reality.

But I still sometimes get them mixed up... Which is both frustrating and confusing for both me and others involved.

I will write a tragic-comedy spin-off series of a tragic series where 12 of the 13 POV characters die in their perspective books. But the question is, should I write the spin-off series at the same time to make me less sad when I have to kill off the POV characters in 11 of the 12 books of that series that I haven't finished writing yet?

Because one of the books in the tragic series is done. And I already finished the annoyingly short prequel and already started another separate spin-off with a character who is only mentioned in the tragic series, but doesn't become a part of the main cast until the tragic-comedy spin-off series. Mostly because I wanted to explain something from the tragic-comedy spin-off series that I haven't even started yet, and I loved his character way too much to not make him a main character in his own story. Because in the tragic-comedy spin-off series he's the weird uncle that moves in for some reason and causes chaos because it's fun. In the tragic series, he's mentioned a few times, but only because he is slightly plot-relevant and his story is related to the character who ties the 13 books of the tragic series together.

Yes, I love my characters and I told you the ending of most of the tragic series' books, but they all die for a reason and the 13th book will show that (when I finish writing it). The tragic-comedy spin-off series is chaos unleashed and the characters who worked their butts off to survive and thrive get to go there. Though, I should say that the amount of children and generations is confusing because one of the characters decides to make everyone immortal very early on in the spin-off series, and I just didn't want to kill off any more characters, but now I'm confused as to how to easily move from the last book of the tragic series to the spin-off series. I mean, I could change the POV character to a character that has been with the tragic series the entire time, but hasn't gotten her own story, even though there's mention of her in every single book, but only one where she's in every part of the story, just not the POV character.

So I’ve just got back into reading and I am like sooo close to just posting a massive review/rant about the book I just finished cause I have never had any piece of media hit me this hard and affect me this much. To be on brand it is gay and spicy

Maybe I need to stop trying to find other characters that remind me of my ocs and just admit I'm hyperfixated on my own little guys and I need to just buckle down and finish one of the ten fanfictions I have 1/4 done.

You know all I need is red fox ears... then I could be a feminine foxy the pirate fox.

I never made th9se ears I said I would... eh. I said a lot of things and well either was refused the ability to make it (even though I was gonna buy it with my own money at the time) or can't because I lost my momey and felt is... annoying to work with when messing up stitching!

Like it's so hard to un do the thread by cutting it as the fabric wanna go with it.

I always find it fascinating how some people will post things that ya found from a few months back like they just found it themselves. It's also slightly worrying.

Two kinds

There are two kinds in this world, believers and discoverers. The believers are easily swayed by weavers of fantasy, weavers that make their craft the profit for their own sake an imperative among their followers. they then tend to defend their belief with hate and violence, or at the least with ethnic and religious discrimination and denigration. Unbelievers to them are considered to be sinners, or at times less than human, and therefore expendable or disposable. The discoverers endeavor to investigate, learn, test, explore, taste, sample, experience, cherish. and enjoy everything in nature...and then in the joy of their findings, they endeavor to share their treasure with the world. They see even the least of their fellow humans as someone that can benefit from their acquired knowledge, even if they are unable to comprehend... and they see that everyone they might encounter will also be able to teach them something new. With this mindset, everyone, and everything living is of value, nothing is disposable, no one is categorized by the fantasy they chose, or led to chose, as to their worth.

We may not all be equals, but we are all of equal worth.

“Every person that you meet knows something you don't; learn from them.” ― H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Every day, as my grand children shuffle off to school, i chime in with "Have a great day, and learn Something!" It's voiced in jest, but has a hidden intent and meaning.Other than the humorous intent with which I vocalize it, I actually hope that they decide for their lives that learning will always trump believing.
