I was complaining to aionwatha about how I stupidly love all my secondary characters more than my main ones. It’s frustrating having to wait 2~3 chapters before I can introduce the character I wanted to write about all along.** Told her I needed to get out of that habit and start making MCs I actually like.

She said “But then you’d want to hurt them, torture them emotionally and physically, then possibly murder them.”

I responded, “I do all that anyway. I just can’t enjoy it when I don’t like them very much.”
