Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!

I've always believed that the content of your daydreams can give you insight into your own subconscious, especially if you have limited control over your daydreams, so I encourage people to try and analyse their own daydreams in this way :0

I already knew my daydreams included recurring character archetypes, but today I tried to write them down to dissect them:

The Innocent: Usually a young person, could be a victim of something but doesnt have to be. Could be oblivious/inexperienced/naive, or dependant/cared for. Another trait this archetype always has is honesty, especially relating to pain: this archetype is going through either pain or something new and have no reason to hide anything, so even if the original character this para might be inspired by wouldn’t normally be so direct about their suffering, if they fall under this archetype, they probably will be straightforward in needing help (Red, Taka, Anais, Joy)

The Serious: A person who's gone thru stuff in the past and tends to grow to be a bit stoic, serious and knowledgeable of important or dangerous topics. They don't use this experience to comfort, but rather to guide or help logically, and they also aren't above pushing those they're trying to help. They really take no bullshit (Lance, Kyoko, Sahar, Maeve)

The Mother: Very very strong archetype here that feels like my daydreams require it so much that if a source material doesnt already have a character that could fall under this trope, it will force someone into the role or invent an oc just for that purpose. This character will usually be the comfort to others' hurt, protective, maternal, caring, understanding and patient. But they're all quite static and one dimensional with minimal arc or change, less of a character and more of a function but still so so so essential to the wellbeing of the entire story. I also notice that all of these seem to be women or feminine (Amanda, Thea, Brandy, Leanne)

The Reckless: Usually main character, the one whos eyes I typically experience the daydream from. This person has made bad decisions in the past or at least feels to blame for something, but in the present day they come off as a carefree, funny, social and happy ish person, which is a bit of a persona to hide their pain. They are protective of others, like the Mother and Serious, but their form of helping others tends to manifest in self sacrificial ways. They want to support those who are hurt but they themselves are also hurt, which they actively ignore and deny for the benefit of those they want to protect - this just makes everything worse, and can actually lead to them hurting people even worse than anything they couldve tried to protect them from. The most dynamic. (Faith, David)

The Villain: The villain is often in a lot of control and enjoys inflicting pain on others. A bit of a businessman, can be very 2 faced, full of themselves (Solon, Magdelaine)

It's also interesting to analyse common relationship trends: the Serious and Reckless are often in conflict with each other because they can see right through each other

To summarise, I guess the key differences are victim vs free from danger, and emotionally honest vs dishonest/disconnected

And not all paras will fit into just one archetype but will often fall under multiple, so there's a lot of overlap between them

Hope this analysis of my daydream archetypes was interesting ^^ so like, if we used this to analyse my Secret Ending Three, I'd say Eri fell into the Mother, Nameless being the Innocent, Tei being the Reckless and Yuri being a little bit of a mix between the Serious and the Mother cuz I've largely planned for him to be a bit of a Mother archetype for Tei but he's not as emotionally connected to the situation as most Mother archetype characters

Reblog if you’re OK with people sending you asks about your OCs, ‘sonas or even about yourself

If any fan-artists need validation please know that one of the things keeping me motivated to finish my novel is the thought that one day some talented individual such as yourself might happen across my little book and decided it is worthy of your time and talent and create gallery worthy masterpieces or "silly little doodles" of my characters and world. Both of which I intend to enjoy with equal (overwhelming) enthusiasm! 😌

REBLOG WITH THE BIGGEST SPOILER OF YOUR WIP IN ONE SINGLE WORD

[smol-grey-tea]

Hey, I just thought something while looking at this picture..... all of them have animal ears. Jisoo has cat ears cuz he already has them in Dandelion anyway. But both Tei and Seven have rabbit ears

Why have they intentionally not given Zen any ears? Why is he specifically the only one to have his supposed ears obscured?

Don't really know what to make of Seven and Tei's ears - there's not really a reason why they should have them - but there theoretically should be a reason for Zen to have them

Also, since its 2024, why not include any Ssum characters? They did it before, why only reference past games?

Maybe there was gonna be a Ssum character, but when Seven realised this would reveal Zen's real ears, he replaced the Ssum character and gave their hat to Zen?

I should check out the other seasonal pictures like this........

¡Feliz Chuseok! 🌕

Hmm.......I'm feeling.........creative.................

I think I will be putting Secret Ending Three on hold for now :( just thinking about how many things are on my plate, I have to drop a couple things so I can handle everything ❤️ I know people aren't gonna chastise me for putting it on hiatus, but it just gives me more peace of mind to announce it officially, so it's not just hanging on the back of my mind all the time

I'm super tired these days from college, two and a half voluntary jobs and family death- Cheritz is my escape so I don't want it to become another stress as well ❤️ I'm gonna work a bit more on my videos and will be passionate to attend the Discord streams once a week 😊

I dreamt of Cheritz.... I was in a shop on holiday in which they sold games, dvds and books that were sold to them, like a charity shop

First of all, I found lots of My Sims stuff. Games but also figurines and such

Then, I found a How To Draw Anime book, but Tei was on the cover. It wasn't a book about Nameless but I just liked that it had him there

But while I was in the queue to buy the things I wanted, I saw. The Nameless Limited Edition merch.

I think in real life, this specific thing doesn't exist as merch but it was all books. Eri's diary, along with the other characters' diaries, even including a teaser for Mystic Messenger with Seven's diary too

I only read that one book in the dream but there was definitely other books too, I think one dedicated to each character?

I'm so disappointed that that's not real..

[smol-grey-tea]

What.... is Teo gonna try meet us? That's insane....

An Unforgettable Message Has Arrived.

I… I wanna know how we could meet each other.
