you see, the problem with writing my oc backstories while listening to epic the musical is that i start instinctively changing details to match the lyrics of the current song playing.
and then i have to examine whatever "brilliant new backstory detail" i just thought of, and go:
(in the voice of someone trying to see what's in their dog's mouth) is that your oc's backstory? is it? yeah, um- no. no, it's not. that's odysseus of ithaca. put him back. no, i don't care if "ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves", your oc is ten years old and she does not have the ability nor the time to somehow get a crew of soldiers killed. move her along to the assassin plotline and put the sad greek man back where he came from.
#epic the musical#oc creation#oc writing#this happens every time i listen to a narrative song while writing.#same issue with lydia the bard's villain songs; i listen to them while writing and suddenly i'm writing ooc villain AUs for my ocs.#and then i have to go:#''are you writing a compelling alternate version of your oc as a villain?#or are you literally just stealing lydia the bard's villain AU version of anna from frozen?''#and the answer is usually. the latter. so i have to start over.#''but why not just listen to other music'' because i must satisfy the brain's craving for Story Music. <3#(and also i've been hyperfixated on epic for months and looping the songs is the only way i'm able to do anything else)
