Flora-Maya (An Oc From A Script Im Writing) Was Written As An Idealized Version Of Myself (at Least At
Flora-Maya (An oc from a script I’m writing) was written as an idealized version of myself (at least at the start). The story follows the perspective of half of the runaways but leaves some out for the purpose of letting the reader learn things about some of the characters the way we do in real life rather than understanding every character the way they view themselves. Flora-Maya is one of the characters we get to know through Missy (and another character)’s perspective rather than through herself.
Missy has always idolized FA as a strong weathered veteran to seam so unaffected by any difficulties she faced and a prodigy in the way she excels in everything they failed at. As the story progresses, and the pair begin to get in touch with other people, FA finally finds herself in a space where she’s comfortable enough to react to everything she’s dealt with and Missy is forced to face and cope with the fact that for their entire friendship/childhoods she and Flora-Maya have known each other inside out but not understood each other.
Flora-Maya faced a lot of change growing up- her parents died when she was only 3, her grandmother took over only to die 2 years later and she experienced 2 moves with her first and second foster families before she came to settle in with the Knights. Because of this, she’s very versatile and flexible but resistant to forming close bonds to anyone except Missy. To cope with a lot of the loneliness and boredom that came with these traits, Flora-Maya created large, elaborate, detailed daydreams to distract herself. She had an imaginary friend she took from her favourite book who would follow her everywhere and do the things she didn’t want to do (like chores) and speak up when she didn’t want to. When she meets Missy at 6, the daydreaming continues, but her imaginary friend is replaced by her first real one who behaves similarly to the person she made up and always listened to the stories she made up when she was bored.
Aside from being a maladaptive daydreamer, Flora-Maya is also very nihilistic. Because of the many changes in her life and her lack of control over them paired with her foster parents’ habit of blaming any misfortune that occurred around them on her, FA comes to the conclusion that very little changes regardless of what you do. This view rubs off on Missy a lot later on in their childhood and the pair of them very differently. FA grows a lack of regard for worry and judgement, she becomes a very spontaneous and inconsequential person, doing whatever she likes so long as it doesn’t harm anyone.
Resultantly, while FA is a lot more aware of social cues and expectations than Missy, she often disregards them. For example, Flora-Maya often had a disinterest in doing what she was supposed to in lessons, often bringing activities (like books and knitting equipment) to school to complete during lessons she considered irrelevant/unimportant and wasn’t afraid to do things that were abnormal like randomly sitting on the floor in public if her legs got tired. She wore brightly coloured clothes that may not look good together if they felt particularly comfortable or she was fond of them.
From Missy’s perspective of her this might come off a bit manic pixie dream girl-esque but I promise she’s a lot more complex than that and has a number of reasons for every choice she makes throughout the script- I love her so much and she’s so complex and precious and strong

Tonya is my favorite disaster lesbian, she’s the type of gay to move in on the first date, get dumped on the second and then take a year to get over her ex
She skipped town with her runaway ex-boyfriend turned best friend (Lucas Bennet) after getting outed in a really fucked up, embarrassing accident (ouch).
You know that quote that’s like “If Nana was a boy, she’d be the love of my life” that but it’s a twink and a lesbian- they are platonic soulmates.
Reblogging this because it’s so fucking funny and I want to read it again later
I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-
like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?
So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?
But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.
It's MY URL.

Hi, I hope you are doing well🌹
Can you help by sharing my story, reblog, and donating if you can, to keep hope alive for me, I'm type 1 diabetes. I am calling on your humanity and kindness to help me raise $340.
This amount will enable the approval of an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I have been approved the hardest part is the money to pay for the pump and equipment, please your contribution is important. Be blessed ♥️
