necro-romantic:

making a character is so weird because i stg they end up being this weird mashup of who you are and who you want to be, and who you’re afraid to be

and you give them your flaws, and your dreams, and let them do all the things you can’t do, the things you want to do, the things you can’t imagine doing 

it’s like taking out a piece of yourself and letting it become a whole person
