hnnh I love writing sapphic characters.

I absolutely love writing characters falling in love, realizing their feelings whether fast and sudden or slow and building. The different ways that the heart flutters and shifts, perspectives change. Where a word might mean one thing, suddenly it means "I love you", in all the little ways it matters.

I can't really believe that I'm starting to narrow in towards the end of a story, re: press_start. I've always had my head in the clouds trying to make things, slap ideas together, and never been able to really sit down and do it. At the least, I'd always been worried about how it might be received.

After over 130,000 words I really see that people seem to like what I make, and even if it isn't ~super amazing awesome~ writing from a technical standpoint or story, I still feel good having been able to make it at all. The snippets of stories I've released and little one-shots have all helped me build momentum up to making one of my dreams and it's nice to see people giving it the time of day, let alone actually enjoying it.

I like making characters who unambiguously have something deeply wrong with them and have possibly done terrible things. I like making them relatable and blurring the line between what people think is morally "good" or "bad". I like making them kind in one moment and cruel the next. I like making characters who have depth, and could be seen as complete monsters. I like making characters who make you wonder what you would do in their situation, if you might end up making the same choices. I like making characters who need love and support and might not get it without a struggle. I like making characters who don't "fix" everything by the end, but maybe they have the spark of something new and beautiful, and that's all that matters. :3
