i never intend to write myself into my characters, but i definitely do. i think i put very important/life-changing pieces of myself/my life into some characters and that is what makes me able to write their emotions so viscerally. lately i've also really been drawing from music. i forgot how inspiring fitting lyrics can be!!!!
litotes: i think lie plays the martyr sometimes and that's definitely a piece of myself i've had to look at ever since i developed it as a coping mechanism. writing him like that actually helps me face the pieces of myself i need to change. he's definitely as cutting as me when i'm hurt. he's mostly sad, though, and so am i - and boy am i good at writing a sad character.
brunhilde: she definitely has my disdain from men (maybe thats some unaddressed trauma on my end lmfao). writing trauma and anger from her is extremely cathartic, because i think my feelings regarding those two things i take out on her. but she also has this redeemable kindness about her that i find really refreshing to write. i don't know if i have that lmfao but that sweet piece of her makes her easy to write.
draco: i havent written him much but so far we clicked immediately, i think because every cruel thing i know i should not/will not say i get to say with him lmfao...............
jude: i really miss writing her :/ she has that seething, take what i want from these idiots attitude that i love. she has always been hard to write because she is almost the exact opposite of me, but i think she is actually the most satisfying to write. her inspiration i mostly get from songs. i used to have a perfectly curated playlist for her until apple music decided to delete everything on my itunes >.>
