Its Usually A Bit Awkward At First When Any Group Of My Characters Meet, But There Are A Few With Enough

It’s usually a bit awkward at first when any group of my characters meet, but there are a few with enough charisma to break the ice and form friendships from any group of characters. Some of my oldest OCs are well into retirement and don’t come out anymore, preferring to watch everyone else interact from a distance, coffee or tea in hand, remembering when they were the ones having adventures or guiding me through my internal work, but grateful that they finally get to rest.

I can never predict how my characters will interact. Sometimes an old one who I thought was long gone will reincarnate into a new form that I barely recognize, but there will always be some flash of their old selves, a look, detail or preference, which lets me know who they once were. These characters have become archetypes for me, splitting off and recycling themselves in endless forms for endless stories. Now if only I could write as fast as they regenerate!

How would your oldest OCs react to meeting your newer ones? Excited? Scared? Would they be friends, or would they hate each other. (Can be used as a writing/drawing prompt!)

Same.

Writing Problem

Don’t you love it when you take the time to rewrite an entire scene, only to decide the one you originally had is better?

I’ve wasted so much time…

Zartan, correcting his boss’s mistakes and averting catastrophe.

He and Destro both deserve a raise.

At least the Commander is more polite to Zartan than he is to Destro. Zartan might actually get the pay raise he deserves, providing the Dreadnoks don’t mess things up.

"Oh, sorry about that."

I never read the series until I was an adult, and the first book legitimately made me cry! Knowing Jango was going to die made it even worse. Here’s this kid who sees his dad as his entire world, and that world is ripped away from him in one instant at the start of a war he can’t possibly understand. It really makes you hate all the adults involved even more, especially people like Palpatine and Dooku, knowing that this tragedy will repeat itself many times over across the galaxy. And seeing how no one even gives a crap about this kid afterwards is especially heartbreaking.

(Mace is really cold-hearted about the whole thing in the Clone Wars series, telling Boba “You’ll just have to forgive me.” Not a sorry or anything. Granted, the kid had just tried to kill him, but damn, not an ounce of compassion or understanding. I respect him as a Jedi, but I can’t forgive his treatment of Boba. He demands understanding without showing it himself.)

i got a book about boba fett as a child at the library and it’s the worst decision i’ve ever made
