[ Dearlest ]feeling: exited (for a hangout)watching: charborg stream
A little context for anyone reading this, I'm talking about my two ocs Martin and Scott, who I've oddly had a special interest on for over two and a half years now.
I've been thinking about my guys, my dearest dearest OCs, and I realised that a little story reset might work wonders for their lore. I've been having all kinds of gripes with the lore or just the structure of it in general. For example, currently the characters exist in an afterstory of sorts that has no reason to exist. They just exist and age and I can't come up with interesting things to happen for each year that passes irl.
I feel that I might just prefer them only existing in their story without much else going on, yk, just simplify it a bit without needing to decide how their entire lives would go. Alongside that I'm a bit too stressed about making changes to lore, so I feel like just a biiiig reset will make that more comfortable hehe...
Now I just must come up with something new that I'll enjoy working on. I've been thinking that I might change their birth years. Rn both of them are born in 1995, but I'll change that to 1990 and push the events back a bit with that too. And I might just make it so that they were never best friends in childhood. They knew each other, but were not close due to reasons not dependent on them. I dunno, I just feel like I want to highlight the significance of newer friendships made in adulthood for whatever reason.
Also thinkin' 'bout motifs. Forget-me-nots were always a big motif, but I wanna push it's meaning a bit further, beyond just symbolic meanings. I don't really know how to. I suck at this stuff honestly hehe... #autismnation
