So, this is a really really old topic on an Iwaku-affiliated site that's now dead, but @WickedWitch and I were discussing it, and I was wondering what Iwaku's current crowd thinks about it.
My characters really seem to have a mind of their own. They often ruin my plans and plots bc they refuse to be anyone but themselves, and I like to joke that making a character sheet is like giving birth, because they often tell me who they are in vibes and logical leaps more than me deciding who they are myself. This does sometimes mean that characters don't "resolve" correctly. Like, y'know a grainy image resolving, and turn out very different from my original plan.
But I know some people are working on giving their characters more autonomy or think the idea of characters doing what they want is crazy. Which one are you?
