....while they're on their quest, they should all end up somehow seeing the Jack Frost movie, with the Guardians and all, after which Adara can tease Jack about it totally being them
see, i know that i picked the name on accident but knowing jack i would not be surprised if they picked it on purpose just to see the look on people's faces when they realize
I have OCs I swear have been planning stuff without me knowing about it. Like, I'll just throw in some random thing in stuff I write, and I look back at it a while later and go "... Oh".
that would be even better though Adara: "That was you" Jack: "Yep" Adara: "....you picked that name on purpose??" I FEEL THIS
i have a character who became a literal god without telling me. i got to that part of the story and i was like ".....shit....shit....what did i do to deserve this..." i've actually been rewriting their story (kinda) and it actually works really well. angst on a cosmic level, anyone?
yeah, I started writing a character who was originally going to be immortal and then suddenly just went "no, I'm a god who lost their soul" and flounced off and I was like "????????????????????? now I have to revise your whole backstory wtf"
Dom just kinda poked me in the back and went "Hey, dude. I'm trans." and I spent months finding a way to make it happen. And Sol is heavily hinting that they're my author in-universe, which is confusing.
As I said in the Tumblr.txt thread: "The circle of stupidity and punching authors in the face will be complete."
I have four seperate characters that went "hey, I'm trans, this is a thing." similarly, EVERYONE IS BI even people I WANTED to have be straight.
stares intently at my characters ......where'd that one straight one go, fuckgoddammit, I can't find her in the multitude of queer characters (and the straight character is also trans, so....I don't have any cis and het characters)
Oh, I do have a bunch of cis ones. ... Wait. Spoiler: OC stuff Bast is millions of cats, both male and female-bodied, and goes by "she" pronouns. Dom is a trans guy. The other Dom is AMAB nonbinary. Morgan is girl-shaped and goes by "she" in human languages, but never particularly cared, and might not have even bothered to check until a while ago. Sol is ANoneOfYourBusinessAB and nonbinary. The Hoodie is a hoodie. Still-Unnamed-Ship-AI's gender is either watercooling or basic human ethics. They put too much of the budget into, you know, useful stuff, to give it a gender. Even the sparklewolf is totally in denial about genderweird feelings. ... That leaves Stealthlock. ... Okay, my only cis OC is the asshole straight guy. Oh well.
lemme think Alania's trans (agender) as-yet-unnamed mage girl is trans (bigender) Kadey is cis but not straight uhhhh the other characters whose names I forget are mostly trans and not straight and then there's that one girl who's trans but not straight so yeah no cis and straight characters, but I've got like...three cis characters
The comic @peripheral and I are doing has...mostly queer characters, but the character who's arguably the main character (but only arguably) is a cishet guy
