Different shreds of the same fabric
🕑 Added 2022-06-10 16:22:10 +0000 UTCI adore my sarcastic MCs, using words and quips like daggers and pocking the world until, eventually, the world can't help but poke back. I love my stoic ones, the ones whose real thoughts are as much a mystery as the constellations shining in the sky. They face everyone from behind a stone wall, impregnable but for a few.
I love the exact opposite too, those that can't — and don't want to — hide even a shred of who they are. The ones who frown when they see an injustice, who laugh when someone trips, who talk with their hands, whose voice has all the nuance of the human language.
And then, of course, I admire those with endless patience. The ones whose smile is genuine when they meet a stranger, whose coin purse is loose for those in need, who truly believe, deep in their soul, that the world is bleak enough and one must thrive to make it less so. To make it brighter.
I adore them all.
But sometimes, sometimes, there's nothing more cathartic than writing the ones who let absolute, white-hot, seething fury consume them. The ones who not only fight but slam against the world. The ones who see red, and taste red, and by God, they'll paint in red too.
Your burning palm be damned. Consequences be damned.
It's such a joy to write too.

Lol. I enjoy my charming sarcastic MC especially with the responses I get from Alessa afterwards. She even called me out about my quips towards the end of Book 1.

So glad you enjoy them! ❤

I ended up making an MC for each personality type and all of them are definitely deeply rewarding in their own way! I have a soft spot, personally, for the stoic MC because I can understand how difficult it is to accommodate for a silent protagonist, but some of those responses are absolute gold. (Quiet MC is so awkward, it's adorable) However, angry/violent MC? Cathartic in the best/worst way. They consistently choose to give in to their urges and I love that for them, but there is also the horrible little part of my brain that cannot wait to reap the consequences. Bring on the corruption!
