Sorry for bothering you but, when exactly are you gonna get Monty out? He's been there for quite a bit

OOC// They're still on their way. Sorry for not updating for a while, I was busy with irl stuff.

which muse had the most impact on current writing style?

The influence and significance of my time writing my OC @borskovlegacy cannot be overstated. He was the first muse I wrote in Tumblr, and through him I have met some of the most impactful and resonant writers I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. It kicked off everything here for me, and radically changed the way I approach crafting and implementing OCs. There's a direct line of causality from him to Elias for instance, as without him I'd likely not have met Puck, and so not gotten the idea to followed her into the SW fandom and met you. There are also some elements of Elias that I first really explored writing Ivan. Ivan had existed long before I came to this site, but bringing him here marks a massive turning point in my relationship with writing as a whole.

✑ Do you prefer writing OCs or canon characters? Why?

OCs, hands down. Trying to write canons makes me really nervous about nailing their voice, and meeting not only the standards that’d be put on me by others, but the ones I myself hold the characters. It’s in large part why any of the canons I write tend to be self-crafted AU versions of themselves. I bring them from where they typically are and into a space I feel more comfy in, tweaking them enough to feel they’re different enough that those standards just don’t apply.

OCs on the other hand, channel all my creative juices into some fresh and new and wholly mine. Anyone whose known me a while can attest that I’m always just throwin’ ideas around all over the place, for characters, places, stories, etc. It’s almost too easy for me to just make up new muses on a whim, and without the constraints of canon I feel like they can flourish.

🖤 on again , off again

𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐞 !

Oh yea, I can definitely see these two as having something on again, off again. Finding a sort of kinship and solace in each other, but never being able to fully settle into it and make things work. Absolutely here for it.

munday: 4, 7, 14!

4: What’s the one thing you especially love about roleplaying your muse?

I like that Elias has like, these separate, drastically different versions of him I can play with. It's like I've got several characters in one, and as time goes on I consider more and more ways they all feed into each other; what leads him from one to the next and vice versa.

7: Last movie the mun watched.

I'm pretty sure the last movie was Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2 (I had multiple movies I stopped and started a bunch before finishing them, and I think that was the last one I got to the end on).

14: Favorite Pokemon?

Blaziken. By extension, also Torchic and Combusken, but Blaziken primarily. A fire elemental bird creature that uses martial arts: it's like 3 things I love in one.
