Wanting to draw more of a specific oc or share literally anything about him but to do so would spoil a plot point

[cruisectrlll]

I love making a problematic oc and then people get mad because they're problematic. Buddy someone's gotta make the problems for the story to happen, might as well make the Problem Maker interesting.

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

just found out rael has the same name as some niche random lore exclusive jedi from star wars. Wdymmm I thought I made his name up 😒

Ship dynamics are always like Sunshine and Sunshine protector~ Cinnamon roll and their grumpy one 🤗 Well what about 2 cunts. They're both cunts and that's the dynamic. cunt4cunt.

developing your ocs is 50% waiting for bursts of divine inspiration like an oracle sleeping next the vapours seeping from fissures in the temple floor and 50% stalking them in your mind relentlessly like a persistence predator until they tire out enough for you to get close and scamper away with the bloody scraps of "eye colour: brown" and "dislikes: people who think they're funny" clutched in your mouth like a hunting trophy

[cruisectrlll]

Being obsessed with your own ocs is so so good for you i seriously can't recommend it enough

How I feel after editing my about post for the morbillionth time and not even looking at the 73927394801 conflicting details and timeline issues with cruise ctrl I've been ignoring

[cruisectrlll]

one must imagine their handwriting

ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are

[cruisectrlll]

what I've learned from trying to write cruise ctrl is that no amount of shitty relationship experience could prepare me for coming up with the details of a mutually mentally ill bi4bi situationship

[cruisectrlll]

see this is why I never get anywhere with cruise ctrl I'm too neurotic to just give the reader a basic cyberpunk background and go

[cruisectrlll]

Making your characters hella realistic is all fun and games until you realize if you were stuck in a room with them you'd be shifting awkwardly towards the door

shitting myself why does ilya lowkey look like young putin

[cruisectrlll]

NOT ONE person voted...

time to play my tiny sad violin and post about all of it anyways

Mostly got my shit sorted for all of these things on a base level so:

I feel I've shared the absolute bare minimum on what the cruise ctrl universe looks like and it's time to fix that o7

3 components of worldbuilding:

1. The author’s kinks

2. The author’s power fantasy

3. The author’s political agenda

Plot and logic optional
