#the fun thing about having ocs is folding their ooc creation and history and timelines into their actual writing

[mister13eyond]

OC talk but man it's so funny to me how my opinion of Vin has shifted from "he's a shut in" to "actually he's like a stray cat that is only partially acclimated to living indoors and will bolt for freedom as soon as possible but will inevitably come back when he gets hungry"

and I can't help but think that's because he lives with Asphodel now so he's like "ah, home is safe. home is good. home will be there when I'm done romping through dreams and other worlds and chasing whims and visiting the other demons. I can roam as far as I like because I know there's somewhere to come back TO"

which makes me so fuckin soft about these two, who were both designed as fundamentally lonely characters. both conceived of with their own backstories and reasons for isolation written in, both always designed to be exiles from "home"

and that's still part of them now but they found each other! And the more their world expands and the more they get introduced to new characters the less lonely they get and aaahhhhhh
