so at the time I started this LJ I was wanting to start fresh(er) with my OCs so I shelved a ton of them and their stories, but I find I miss having those stories available to think about & draw so I've been messing around with swapping my current characaters into the old stories so I can keep them around. it DOES feel good to have less OCs to keep track of so using the same characters to cast multiple stories is a fine idea to me... The old story I took was that of Jun/Eito/Kaimei (if anyone reading this... like... remembers them lol) I liked what I'd built of the story & character relationships but I had so many other bl characters lol. so they didn't ever take root as being really important. And Rose & Mia's story has been giving me trouble ever since I thought of it. It's tough to express the relationships in their story in an easy to digest way like through doodles (which is all I'm expecting of myself for the foreseeable future) it's something that really needs lots of buildup and writing to express properly I think... plus, regular interpersonal drama is somehow easier to plot than supernatural or otherwise exciting drama XP In any case, their story is hard for me to really get into, and I'm so worried they'll just fall to the wayside like many half-concieved characters like them. So at least casting them in a different, parallel story will give me another way to hold onto them, if need be. so I'll record a basic impression of the new, alternate setup (I've already forgotten so much of the original story I'm converting dffhdgdkgfd) Mia
Also a story of this nature often necessitates a mutual friend go-between. Her name is... Summer, I just decided on the fly. She's super into community participation & volunteers at school events, clubs etc. she's mia's childhood friend, & drags mia around to her events and stuff.
At one of these events is where mia meets rose, who is immediately smitten and after some conversation they both learn they share a hobby (tennis.?) and so rose is like, on the spot, asks mia on a date to play tennis and mia is like sure :3 so then at the date, mia arrives with a feeling-very-awkward summer in tow, apparently missing the point entirely and setting the tone for all 3 of them's dynamic. they all three get to be that one inseparable friend group.
At some point, mia accepts that she is not Happy with chrys but obviously is so wrapped in it that in her mind, the only options are either to be with chrys or have no one ever love her again. Summer lets slip about WHY rose is really gone, about her feelings for mia. so of course, in desperation, mia's next course of action is to go introduce rose to Mia After Dark, and seduce her lol. Mia starts using Rose as an escape from chrys, and rose totally lets her (leading to some of her own inner moral turmoil) & their relationship becomes more dry desperation than the genuine friendship they had before. Rose doesn't want to be used as a balm for the wounds chrys leaves but she is so, so pathetically into mia she can't stop herself from taking this opportunity. so it's like, bad and no one's really cool with any of this. Uh yeah, eventually chrys sniffs this plot out and starts locking down on mia, chrys and rose have a confrontation, mia explodes at both of them, summer is like X_X, etc :} That's all I could successfully translate over, I hope I can keep thinking about the story and let it develop in its own direction as well. They ought to be in college. But........... I want them to wear uniforms, so.......... it's...... a college that requires uniforms..? how about that..? ok. gah it doesn't look like I drew them college age though lmao. well I'll work on it
