(Idk where to ask this so if you cant do you know anyone that can?) Im new to creating ocs and im overwhelmed w all the resources...I have basic appearance down but i feel i dont know my characters at all. I feel picking personality traits/background will be like throwing darts at random and wont come together like theyre an authentic, real person. Any advice? Thx.

This is a common thing for writers, artists, and character designers, so no worries! You’re completely on the right track! It can take months or even years to flesh out a character! I’ve found the best method of working through this is the use of OC interviews!

What are those you ask? They’re questionnaires made specifically for your OC’s to answer! It’s one of the quickest and easiest ways to start getting to know your characters. It’s like you’re asking them the question, and they’re answering. It gives you a sense of how they may talk, form their sentences, or even respond to such a question.  

Ask yourself one simple question when working on character personalities: Why? Why do they like this specific color? Why do they behave this way? Questions like these help the characters flesh out more. You need to ask yourself these questions because your audience will be expecting answers to them. 

A few more ways to develop characters: from experience, I found that roleplaying, making AU’s (alternate universes), and writing oneshots about them are the most effective!

Just reading all of the posts on twitter on the ProudOfEthanNestor tag. You guys are so goddamn sweet. Thank you for believing in me and making my dreams come true. A lot of things are about to happen in 2018 that I’m a little scared but super excited about. You guys being here puts my mind at ease. Thank you so so much. If you’ve been here for years or just for a day, thank you for being a part of this. I know I say that kind of stuff all the time and I can get very repetitive, but I truly mean it. Thank you <3

No matter what happens, I love you. 

You were in my dreams last night, it was fucked up because you were there, we talked and it was good and it proved that I missed you more than I thought.

I want these thoughts to stop..

But at the same time I don't..
