we saw your post about writing whole specifically as a character and not cj (and also fictive stuff influencing perceptions) and we are shaking your hand so so much on that. you get it. whole is just an interesting bug who is only the same person as cj if people decide to write him as such - another system with cccc fictives

just saw this but yesyes agreed! whole is special to me as a person, and the whole i know {and love hehe} is absolutely not cj so I never write the character that way! I can see how people could be uncomfortable with it for themselves, and sometimes the fandom does get a little too far into the parallels. but whole is my beautiful little bug. so

#and i do get uncomfortable when people write him that way like. i do understand whole is cj in like.. a narrative sense #but i don't see that as being cj Within the narrative if that makes sense #cccc is a metaphorical album and whole is Also a metaphor #whether it be an actual character or a concept or whatever you may believe!#so i treat whole as an abstraction as much as the rest of them are.#and yeah being a fictive i think influences how you view characters in general #because i do separate my writing of whole from my wonderful harmonia who are both separate from cj. but in different ways #character whole vs my harmonia is more loosely based while character whole vs cj are very distinct in my brain #it gives you a better understanding of separating fictional characters from real people because like. you're a fictional character and real #so you need to abstract yourself from fandom perceptions or you will experience the horrors of fandom perception #i wonder if creators like chonny or anyone else who puts themselves into work that has a fandom feels similarly #idk! it's interesting to think about though #captive audience #tridential tirade
