Sapphire: "One word. Why?"
Me: "People tend to make their characters an extension or outlet for their own pain or personality. It just so happens that I decided I wanted to write and make even more people miserable."

K: You think you are the creator, do you not?
Me: I don't think, I know.
K: That's not possible. I can end everything by just thinking about it. You're not above me you fool!
Me: Whatever you say.
K: Why are you acting like this? Do you not care at all that I could end your pitiful existence in a snap?
Me: No not really.
K: leaves in defeat

Me: Cuz i was 16 when I created you and thought I was being edgy

Naomi: "You let everyone else in my last unit die, hurt and traumatized me several times over, and—just to add insult to injury—made me lose an expensive rifle and have to replace it. Sure, the replacement is better; but it's the principle of the thing. What's up with that?"
Me: "I'm genuinely sorry about that. The thing is: aside from the fact that you're to some degree a coping mechanism? You needed to be someone proud, flawed, honorable, wounded, and completely badass."

@Leshierian

Oscar: You made everything?
Me: Yeah.
Oscar: You made me?
Me: sure.
Oscar: Does that make you my dad?
Me: Whoa, okay. no.
Me: I just created your existence. You have a dad, remember.
Oscar: Yeah.. but I don't like him.
Me: How about I make it so you get to punch him in the face?
Oscar: And that prince guy too?
Me: Yeah, sure, him too.
Oscar: whispering to himself Yes.

Austin: So you made me?
Me: Yeah
Austin: You decided everything about me.
Me: Yeah
Austin: Why are you such an ass?
Me: I'm wondering the same thing.

Me, eating marshmallows:
Austin: GASP you like marshmallows?can I have some?
Me: yes, you like marshmallows because I decided it would be relatable.
Austin: is that why I'm such a bitch
Me: yeah

@your_resident_idiot_fox

Kira: "Me? I'm supposed to be you? You're just a plain old human, and I'm literally a winged fox. How is that supposed to work?"
Me: Well, I don't know how to write people. Or draw people. I really just… Don't like people. Also, foxes are cool, and you have the personality and demeanor that I desperately want to portray, so you're kinda the so-called ideal version of me. I don't want to be an actual fox, but writing myself into the position of a confident, sweet, really cool angel fox helps my brain out a lot.
Kira: Hm. Well, I mean, I can agree on the not-liking-people thing, I guess. But if how I am if how you want to be, why don't you just kinda copy the personality and actions that you write for me? Confident, and all that jazz. Try the personality on!
Me: Trust me, Kira, I would, but… It's hard. I get anxious fast, and I just can't bring myself to be confident around people. I overthink things too much, and I just kinda… Get weird? Around other people? I don't know if that makes sense.
Kira: Yeah, I get it. It's okay. Someday, you'll gather that courage, and you'll be able to be confident in what you do. I believe in you. It may not mean much coming from a being that you write, but we both know that I exist as a separate being than you. All of your characters- Pox, Goldie, Honeyblaze, Lizardheart, Featherstep- everyone. We're all a part of you, and we'll always be there for you when the real world leaves you behind. Pox is the confidence and power that you want to exude. Goldie is the responsibility and intelligence that you wish you showed more often. Honeyblaze's suffering is your way of getting revenge for your mother's actions, and Lizardheart is the child who had the courage to fight back that you've always wanted to be. Featherstep is the emotion, the vulnerability, and the suffering that you have felt all your life, and her story reflects how you've imagined that weakness pushing you to blossom into the strong, independent, truly happy individual that you long to be. I believe that these characters are not all fiction, and more yourself now as well as reflections of your future. You'll be okay, Zoe. We're all walking with you, for as long as you live.

Okay I'm a little speechless, that was… unexpected
I just wanted to write a lighthearted thing, but this meant a surprising amount to me
I am going to write more of me speaking with my characters here, I think. This helped me out, quite a bit.

I'm actually writing a story of a character that is self aware (his name is Kaiholo). I plan to make him,,,,very,,,,angry with "me", lol. It's really weird and complex, but if he met me irl i know he'd throw hands. I wanna think that he'd ask me why I made him blind, but i think he knows in the story.

jean would probably say "well, this is awkward." (he's atheist LMFAO)

actually the more i think abt it the more i realize all my characters would probably be super pissed "why'd you kill the love of my life" "why'd you make me become a demon and kill my gf" "why'd you kill my family" :/ oops

Kay: I KNEW THERE WAS SOMEONE CONTROLLING US BUT YOU GUYS DIDNT BELIEVE ME
Ghost of Sato: I never said I didn-
Kay: I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! HAHAHAHA IN YOUR FACE LIZZY! … Wait if you created everything in our world, why did you kill Sato?
Me: Character development.
Ghost of Sato: (confused ghost noises)
Kay: YOU KILLED MY BROTHER FIGURE TO DEVELOP MY CHARACTER?????
Ghost of Sato: Kay, relax.
Me: (sips black coffee)
Kay: YOU MADE ME WATCH BOTH MY PARENTS DIE
Ghost of Sato: Wait- that's not cool
Me: (chugs the rest of coffee)
Kay: PREPARE TO DIE FOR WHAT YOU PUT US THROUGH
Me: Ha, foolish mortal, you can't kill me.
Ghost of Sato: Can we try?

Amafrey: Wait…what the f–k?
Me: Oh no.
Amafrey: 'Oh no' my a–! What the heck were you thinking when you gave me literally no family?
Me: Well…there was an amazing fantasy rp and I had to flesh you out a bit, no biggie…
Amafrey: Don't forget that I saw my father die in front of me! What's with that?
Me: Ah, I can answer that. That would be called character motivation.
Amafrey: Okay, then, Miss 'Creator'-
Me: Call me (insert irl name here), formalities aren't required.
Amafrey: * Smolders * I will kill you!
Me: Oooh, but 'cha can't! * Deletes Amafrey's backstory accidentally and starts to cry *

Angel: So, I'm your self insert and protagonist?
Me: Yeah.
Corwyn: I KNEW IT! I knew there was someone looking out for us!
Angel: Really? This again?
Me: Yes, I am your creator.
Corwyn: Oh, it's so great to meet yo- wait. What is that? /picks up his character sheet/ My favorite color's orange, not green. Change it.
Me: Alright, alright fine. Just this once.
Anon: What is going on here?
Angel: Woah, woah, woah, who is this?
Me: Oh that's Anon. He's the villain and protagonist.
Angel: What? But I'm the self insert.
Me: I was wrong. I'm a devious little shit.
Anon: And you're trying to cover up that inferiority complex with a god complex!
Me: /in denial/ No!

"Why did you make me suffer?"

"Sorry boi, I love your character but . . . I'm a writer!"

Sky: gasps That’s amazing!!!! Why do I like to read?!
Me: Uh…I don’t know…cause I like to read I guess?

Mara: Why did you put me in a love….triangle? Square? Diamond? With Magna, Frost, and Nix?
Me: Well, I was originally going to put you with Frost, but then came up with Magma’s character and liked him better, but then I wanted to add a little bit of conflict into Nix’s character, so I decided that she was going to have a crush on you as well.
Mara: ….I hate you.
Me: I know.

Dani : "why? like really just why?"
character developement baybeeee. and also because i thought it would be interesting to put such a strong but disconnected character through trauma just for that representation. lets call this a social experiment hun.

Garret : "why didn't anything work out for me?"
because you suck, i hate you, and you don't deserve even basic niceties. good lord you're annoying (this is a bit sad considering he's my first main character but what is there to do)

Me: Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me? Even Though your brother Lucifer told you the secret of Creation like an exam student scrambling to finish the problems on an exam until the last moments before the chime?
Vozreal: I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer
Me: Oh ho! Then come as close as you like.
(Now this, but for all of my characters. Also, yes, this is a Jojo reference)

(Imma just- drop a scene-thingy here-)

Infano towered over me, looking threatening as hell, but I knew that he wouldn't hurt a fly. He looked deep in thought for a moment, his dark eyes looked me over quietly, and his tail shifting from right to left before stopping when he spoke: "..If you really are the person who made me..why? And have you made everyone else too?" He looked nervous and, slightly bewildered, I mean who wouldn't if they just got told that their whole life was made up by someone else. Especially when that someone else is 5'6 and looks like they haven't slept in a month.

I sigh, before taking a deep breath and looking up at him again. I could tell that he was anxiously awaiting an answer. "Because.." I tried to keep a serious tone, but what I was about to say made me inevitably smile. "Because I'm a sadist and I torture my characters sometimes, it's from character development so it's necessary. And yes, I did make everyone else in your world, go spread the news"

And with that our meeting was over, which was evident by me pressing the Post Reply button.

(I’m just going to revive this because it’s hard to resist)

This is one hell of twist that I really haven’t thought much of until seeing this. But, just for the hell of it, I’ll make a few.


Luci: Teary eyed, Why? Why the suffering, the tragedy, the never-ending torment? Why must you put me through this?
Me: You’re an agent of chaos.
Luci: I know this! Yet, why?
Me: helpless sigh, I don’t know… I truly don’t.
Luci: Collapses in tears, trying to will himself to die but failing.


Phalan: Terrified out of his wits, Who are you?
Me: The one who created you.
Phalan: He shakes his head, You’re them, aren’t you? The monarch of those creatures in my head?
Me: Confused look, No…
Phalan: Shrieks in terror, You must be! There can be no other explanation! Shrieks again, then runs away.


Tearion: You are Mercy, then?
Me: In essence, yes. I am Fate, what you call Mercy.
Tearion: Eyes narrow slightly and a low growl starts in his throat. Tell me, why let my sister suffer? Why allow those fools of my species to live instead of her?”
Me: Because her death meant your freedom.
Tearion: I care not of my own freedom! You killed my sister! Attacks.


Malcolm: So, if you’re the ’great creator’, you don’t mind if I wipe out the rest of humanity while I’m here?
Me: shrug, Nope.
Malcolm: Grins, presses a button that causes a second nuclear holocaust, then pulls out a gun and aims at me. No humans survive. Shoots the gun.


Golder: You created me, the multiverses, my victims?
Me: Yes
Golder: Hums in contemplation. Define creation. How can you create so much with so little?
Me: No idea. A talent, maybe?
Golder: Hums again. Well, since you appear aware of my nature, shall I bother asking if you need my assistance, or should I just kill you now so that I may explore your world and murder at my leisure?
Me: Helpless sigh.

Tbh, Shadow would just be like "You're an a** and I love it. Can we team up to kinda, you know, cause some pain and chaos?" just because their that kind of entity.
