Viola's backstory is such a mess that I want to get into but for the time being I wont. Because 1) it's some heavy stuff and 2) I don't think my portrayal of aforementioned heavy stuff is all that accurate or realistic.

Plus he's constantly being worked on and changed around as I figure out exactly what the hell I want this guy to be.

He's so much fun to write and plan for but that's an issue because then I write too much for him and give him too many concepts of which don't fit into the canon story, so then I create branching 'au's' for him and then I get distracted from canon and aaeuaeauea.

He's FUN and that's a PROBLEM.

At the very least the core and beginning of his backstory are pretty set in stone.

#I have five characters that exist purely because of the backstory he currently has #If I change that backstory too much I'll have to rework or get rid of those characters #But they're important to canon and play a key role so I have to keep things somewhat the same so it makes sense for them to do the things #they do.#I can't give them a different reason for things and a different relationship with Viola because the whole canon relationship they do have i #quite literally one of the important parts of all of their characters.#GRARGAAGARAH #I'm just always worried about writing characters who've been abused and or currently experiencing it because no matter how much research #I do I still feel like I'm playing it down too much or I'm not depicting it correctly or respectfully #Wawwaaa so much work to do #[Viola]#Kos speaks
