they pull the axe out your face and say "was it the boogeyman?"
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?"
