hmh, wouldn't you say all OCs are parts of one's soul? :0 i sure think of all mine as kind of like "fragments" of my existence.. but i typically attribute "sona" to whatever reflects that the strongest.. like a 60% to the others' 10%...
this is very true!! my OCs and world all feel like important parts and expressions of me. but yea theres some of them that i just rlly especially identify with a lot , a few characters feel particularly close to my heart somehow and maybe they embody some different really important stuff to me idk.
but i feel apprehension about, not wanting to conflate any of my OCs too much with, "me"?, because theyre their own existences in their own world! and i dont wanna somehow diminish what the characters may mean, either to others or just as their own selves? idk maybe its silly!! i have a lot of complicated feelings about all of this which ive been trying to work thru for awhile.. 💦
anyway i built up these like misgivings as to whether im 'allowed' to have a "sona" in the context of my art, (even the rare attempts to just purposely Make a "noncanonical" kinda sona for "myself" generally fails to resonate with me at all compared to my actual OCs, or eventually develops into being a separate character concept instead..). And i guess the current place im settled at is, "well if any of my OCs is a "sona" to me, then i guess i have like four sonas", or something. =//v//=;
dunno why i have a hard time with it! i almost didn't even let myself post the original chost at all, because of the exact feelings i mentioned above. ive also considered making a chost trying to talk about these kinda thoughts and feelings before, but it's hard to articulate myself properly in words sometimes so ive not been sure if or how to do all that!! 😹
that all makes plenty of sense, not silly at all!! i think as a creator it's not uncommon to ask those kinds of questions about your work,, the manner in which you feel your creations reflect you, and how you want to see yourself represented. i imagine they're more prominent concerns for you too, as someone who has created something with more of an eye in the public.
i think the nice part about creation as an artist is that the process, the result, and the perception of the result are all very abstract, much like we humans are; sometimes things don't fit perfectly in one box or another and that's what rules :0 i think if you best understand them all as "multiple sonas" or whathaveyou then nothing wrong with sticking to that perception. in the end you get to determine the relationship between creations and creator and NONE SHALL OBJECT!! like with all things i'd say what's most important beyond what you feel represents you or what doesn't or how you want to be represented is whether you come to terms with the truth you choose :0 but I guess even outside of art, people are always feeling around for what's "right" to them and coming to terms with it...
