you know that post that's like "it's a good skill to recognize when your au fanfic has diverged so much from the source material that you're basically writing original fiction with ocs at this point" i have the exact opposite problem. i keep making ocs based extremely loosely on character archetypes and dynamics i like with enough degrees of separation between them that a casual observer definitely wouldn't spot a connection but i always get sniffed out in the end anyway. like if i told you about my apocalyptic eldritch horror mech pilot ocs i guarantee at least one of you would be like "wait that's fitzier". if i explain vanessa in enough detail it becomes obvious she's a season 8 hermitcraft goodtimeswithscar expy. i made annie before i read homestuck but the similarities between him and vriska are undeniable right down to the cannibalistic mommy issues survival-based morality system spider motif and blue and black colour scheme.
