my dad died this monday and ive been living in an actual haze ever since. it's so weird walking around a big empty house where once lived a family of 5
i just wanna not be alone anymore...
thinking back to the rollercoaster of perception around my character's morality.
>i say i'm a lawful evil assassin monk "oh you're lawful evil? i want to raise zombies with you then."
>i say that my character is honor bound to slay any undead and corrupt officials "wait you're not evil. i guess we're a full good party then"
>five sessions in i'm arguing for slaying fleeing enemy combatants, showing leniency to the idea of torturing cultists and taking a hard line stance on killing a character with an affliction beyond her control "oh wait, you're evil. i get it now"
it's so easy to forget that in real life evil people aren't comically so. evil isn't being a serial killer. evil belongs in society. evil is taking the easy way out. it's not doing the right thing, but the thing that doesn't take effort. it's seeing the enemy as 'the bad guys'.
some people aren't ready for evil because they can't see it coming
behind every successful videogame/visual novel writer is an illustrator who single handedly changed the public perception on this person from 'nobody' to 'wait this is actually kinda good'
I have no doubt we would've never heard of spice and wolf if not for the work of ju ayakura
and i know of at least 5 more such examples off the top of my head. it's wild
like i don't even think i'm that good of a writer but it's wild how my close friends went from completely indifferent to my stories to obsessive fans because they got to experience it in a visual/interactive medium(tabletop) and now everything i post has readers
it sucks because i know for a fact that every most beloved writer's main quality is having money(or connections) to pay someone to draw readers in
it doesn't matter how much i improve. my writing will never pay the bills
sees a post labeled something very specific but it's just one word like "whale"
"what did they mean by this" i click and it's a picture of a whale
