half the time we write things it's because we look at the selection of What's Available For X Thing and because it sucks ass, we go "FINE, we'll do it ourself" and that's at its core why we write for bug fables

#we mean no offense to the vast majority of bug fables writers #but we are REALLY tired of cracking open the ao3 tag and literally the first line its 'he would not fucking say that'#we do whumpy stuff bc we enjoy it! however we really really feel that our characterization needs to Work #because if it DOESN'T match the characterization then why tf are we writing for these characters #we have One Specific Work that we dislike specifically bc we feel it falls too much into the trap of like #making the whumper and whumpee basically just The Same Personalities #we are still gonna post it ofc but we dont like it that much and we're only delaying until art gets done #we are always improving! blessing and a curse in one compact package #bc it means unfortunately some stuff we make will suck #misc.#my posts #writing #bug fables #anyways if we cannot nail down mothivas personality in a satisfying enough way to make her seem In Character #when shes a whumpee in a situation where shes highly predisposed to start fawning #then we will die. and then we'll have to do it better next time bc like fuck if we're giving up #so we're gonna make her act more like an asshole in the beginning bc thats how she Acts under stress #and then have that abrupt fakey turn to fawning in presence of an authority figure #hopefully this turns out right bc if it doesnt we Will die and it Will be this that kills us #smth smth we can't just get into and make content for things that are Purely Good its got to suck a bit #so we can get off our ass enough to go 'you're a fucking idiot and im writing this myself'
