for me, writing is all about the melodrama and being someone else. almost all of what i enjoy writing is like, opposite of anything i am capable of doing or even experienced; good or bad (see: the ability to drive LMAO) 

but also for me, getting to be apart of other people's stories has been important for my writing process. some of my best characters, some of which i still use to this day, started out as wanted ads at one point. but i love getting to be that evil dad from your character's history. there's probably some deep psychological reason for why i enjoy playing the worst middle aged man you know, but everybody has a niche.........i guess?

anyway some of my fav tropes/plots/subjects to write about include:

• unhealthy/toxic family dynamics (specifically like, the emotionally distant father figure and their angry child. chef kiss)
• codependent and independently bad people 
• sunshine & stormcloud partners
• deeply flawed people in general tbh. some of my favorite characters are the blatant mustache twirling supervillains, but i also love a deeply flawed morally gray character. 
• "how do we handle our shared trauma together when neither of us have been perfect people?"

yeah samesies - i love getting involved of other people’s stories. Not in a nosy way but simple linking of small things… i am obsessed about small impacts the most. I learned this from fmab, you know where hawkeye grew her hair long bc of winry. A simple comment that makes a person create a choice for themselves. I love those unintentional changes the most bc of how organic and true to life they are.

Another is (and related to above): I usually have my characters recall people theyve rped with in other threads. I like the callbacks and make things feel like i’ve progresssd. And i also want to show off the fun people i’ve met, you know? I’m proud of what me and a stranger wrote and what we’ve accomplished. And i want to show that it has left an impact on my character

my passion is super angsty romance stuff
but i also like it to have a fun fantasy backdrop, like i don't want to just do angsty stuff with a boring rl background.
it's gotta have crazy magic stuff going on to make crazy magic plots

i also enjoy smutting but it doesn't seem to be looked upon very nicely by the animanga community???
but imma do me and do it anyway
