been living this throughout all my minecraft years
i be walkin around my room imagining 27738484959 fight scenes/weird scenarios
Oh yes
I havent posted anything about my avatar yet (you can see that from my profile pic), but i will probably do so someday in the future, and yeah, i have some kind of background lore prepared for them
All the time, I love my Dragon Age inquisiton character so much♡♡
😅funny thing

Back when I made my persona on games, I gave her a husbando. But as I developed the husbando and how my persona interacted, I developed my persona into a completely different character and OC.

Then I got into another game, and this ended up repeating -w-;;;

That was two instances. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.

So now I have two OC pairs who ended being expies of each other

AND my current persona and OC (meant to represent a future SO)

-w- so I got the sweet innocent ver, the angsty fantasy ver,

and the realistic meme-y + cursed persona ver
bruh i fr do this with every customizable character that i get the chance to make 😩 and then i make up their relationships with characters and like who they have grudges against and give them some -spice-
yeahh,, character i have on a game i have dressed like an emo vampire boxer or sm and they’ve got a whole personality on how they’re super egotistical and are horrible at boxing but pretend they have tons of fans,,,
All the time!!!
my persona has like a whole bizarre backstory and lore and sometimes i feel bad for having such a shameless self-insert but like 😭 i’ve gone too far i can’t just get rid of them hfhdhdhsj
honestly novus (my art mascot) was a fursona i made for fun because i wanted to make a sparkedog(cat) oc. then i was like, no you’re an art mascot at this point —
i even gave them lore like “oh they’re a trickster” and “oh they paint the stripes on their body bc they wanna be a tiger” it’s so wild how this happens

(i feel like that’ll happen to me when i play ffxiv too )
