What if you’re a terrible hybrid of both “my OCs suffer so I can vent but I also love to give them a loving support group and caring friends”
mood tbh, theyve been thru a lot bc uve been thru a lot. i feel that absolutely, i can write really heavy shit into my characters’ stories but i don’t want them to be completely miserable gotta let them have nice things too, the great thing abt having ocs who go thru the same shit u do as catharsis is u can take that and continue it and write them into growing and healing from it, even in ways u feel like u haven’t quite reached urself yet. my character johnny and i both want to accomplish all the same aspects of personal growth/healing, and he’s not even quite there yet and neither am i, but he’s further along than i am and i have more faith in him than in myself to achieve those things and... somehow it feels good
