having thoughts about a particular plot point that connects two of my otherwise unrelated stories and how incredibly fucking sad it makes me/how i wish i could not have it happen without completely altering the paths of said stories.....and then going "what if i just split it into two characters and sever the connection between them"

#my original stories #i know this is so vague but #what if i just dont kill that character? what if i insert somebody else into that sacrificial spot?#it means needing to weave the new sacrifice into the beginning of story 2 a bit more so that the death still hits hard #but technically story 1 doesnt need to have that death happen in the epilogue at all #what if i say 'fuck this' and have one story that just doesnt have to get that deep #actually im gonna stop being vague. this is about danae #oc: danae moreno #danaes death serves a huge purpose in TSOFF but is so fucking hard to do after how #i built her up thru sideshow #but like...sideshow would probably work better WITHOUT being tied to any of my bigger stories in that way #in fact danaes death after everythin she survives thru in sideshow would just suck narratively #so what if i remove her from TSOFF/tashas backstory and insert a new OC to take that place #let danae be happy and not dead bc i think ive put her thru more than any other oc of mine and i no longer like that #this also means havin to rework a few other big plot points of TSOFF.....but i think that would be worth it #i think letting one of my comfort OCs no longer have to go thru THAT much hell is worth it #os: fireflies
