    I’ll have to make this one pretty brief!

    while Yaxkin is like… an autistic version of Severus Snape

    That’s really cool!

    Good autistic representation is really, really small in media tbh so I’m always really interested when I hear that people are writing autistic characters!

    … kinda deep note here…but Abirami’s character began as an image of how I wish I had been as a brother… or how I wish my brother had been…. (uh, yeah… both.)

    It’s interesting, I’ve found that the emotional connection to my characters and my story really grew as I started using my own life as inspiration.  Idk if you’re doing this with Abirami, but it’s such a good way to really explore painful subjects and try to work them out – maybe because it’s kind of removed in a way, since they’re characters?  So you get to look at it from a different perspective, and maybe even better understand how other people might see that same experience differently, or understand why it happened.  So for me, that character would be Val.  I think that working with her actually has helped me work through some of my experiences and look at the from a different perspective 🙂

    Also, do you like anime?  You mentioned Naruto, so I was curious XD
