i'm usually highly uncomfortable with changing aspects of my ocs especially if there's a lot of art of them or they're part of a story. i dare more to change small things for aesthetic rather than greater things UNLESS i'm doing an entire change in the storyline, like reusing the oc. there are few times in which i redesign an oc with no impact on their story (like allegria and noneccie, though i only redesigned their hairstyles. but still). all of this is cuz i try to justify these changes. i always wonder if anyone's as lawful about this as me :O
anyway DESPITE THIS i have this surge of energy to redesign some ocs! idk how many and i'm sure it'll be very slight but it just feels right
my first victim is RAW and honestly this could also be titled 'hey i decided to start treating RAW's anxiety' and i'm just glad about it. one issue i have with RAW is that i can't do anything good for them on my own, but i'm starting to think of a storyline that will change them a lot
Saaaaaame honestly. I hate making changes to my characters at all, even the tiniest of aspects; it's like pulling teeth.
Though, with that being said, I'm happy for RAW!

i'm glad you can relate! it's such an inconvenience to change something about them! sometimes it just has to happen, but for this reason i'm very wary of asking for or receiving critique in character design cuz i'll have the feeling that i should change them AND that i don't want to change them at the same time :(
:D i'm happy for them too! i'm excited about their character arc, they felt too miserable for too long

YES!! It's like "You're probably right, but I don't wannaaaaaaa" For me, it even carries down into things like character personalities, backstories, etc. Even if, say, I realize it makes no sense for a certain event to happen in a story, I have a hard time getting around to changing it so that it makes sense.
Aaaaah!!! I'm rooting for them! I want RAW to be happy!!

IKR but at least when it comes to those things I think one can sit down & think about how to pull it off. at least that's what i try to do sometimes when my stories make no sense haha but that's just cuz i like how it turns out in the end- there's something special about the outcome haha
:D!! they deserve their happiness!! but we'll see how it happens, it's never easy

It's refreshing in a way to finally rework a story, I agree, but getting myself to do it, that's another thing entirely. XD
