I created this baby myself^^

But yes
I feel like i plasterd too much of my other persona,even it was supposed to be in some way. They feel so out of place with how i designed them and how they actually look in the game
Mabey they could have looked better, and given them a better story....

#tavtoqd Not appearancewise. Ruse loves being the most average looking woman in Baldur's Gate. (Very "I'm going to get a good grade in looking normal.")

I was scared of showing her because, being online since 1995 taught me that showing your Mary Sue OC will have men hunting you for sport online.

#tavtoqd Have you ever felt insecure about your own OC?

Yes, very much so. Because I realized she did a lot of sexual assaulting in her past. Sharing that part of her history made me very uncomfortable

#tavtoqd sometimes i feel like kyrus might not be very interesting or enjoyable. maybe they're even cliche in some ways. but i made kyrus for me, not for popularity. i will happily post about them in my own bubble.

Quite a few times honestly. One moment that comes to mind fairly often is when I've had her demisexuality criticized because she slept with Astarion at the Tiefling party. Having to defend her sexuality, as well as mine, was both insulting and exhausting.

#tavtoqd Insecurities.

First: Tiamat. I use the Goddess, but totally different from what D&D proposes. I gave a curse for Aelius and Dandall family, but everything is from my mind. I use Tiamat because I know about the Goddess, and I'm always afraid to share his lore because of that: Judgment!

#tavtoqd creator's insecurities for OC

1/5
Honestly, I do have insecurities about all my OCs for various reasons.

Lu and their gender, I don't touch on it heavily, but it is a big part of them. I love to explore gender through characters, and Lu is that for me. #lucifael

There's Rach, +

#tavtoqd
There's a lot of insecurity and disappointment in myself involved when it comes to D'ylân, but it's not about him. I look at him and enjoy what I see. But when posts, vp, and fics with and about him get little love, I wonder if it's because I suck so much at pulling him off as the character

#tavtoqd #ElorinPosting Have you ever felt insecure about your own OC?

Yes, for so many reasons! He was my very first actual trans OC instead of living vicariously through cis guy OCs, which worried me.

Also worry a lot somehow over BOTH him being too boring but also too special snowflake 😂

#tavtoqd #thiriann
I was insecure about a lot of things around Thiriann.
I've been told it's too boring that she's straight and in a heteronormative relationship with Astarion, that Astarion wouldn't be with a tiefling, that Astarion wouldn't be interested in a "good" partner.
(1/2)

#tavtoqd insecure

I'm a boring person, insecurities that just pile up. And those insecurities bled into my try with Everett. Afraid that Everett is boring or that I made his backstory (extremely) annoying/unnecessary.

That I'm trying too hard to make him interesting. +

#tavtoqd

Xal is something personal to me, and I have never written and will never write about him in a way that would appeal to as many people as possible. I am not worried about making him insufficiently ‘convenient’ for the majority.

Have you ever felt insecure about your own OC?

I was nervous joining the fandom at first as my DnD lore knowledge isn't great and as Fin and a Meidhreach were characters of their own lore just -squished- to fit BG3, they're not accurate but! I've learned to just embrace that and

His appearance: Alex is simple, human, with two tattoos, only face and hair moded, and he is POC. When I first shared him, I was afraid of him being too plain or too unattractive - and because the community has a problem with POC tav. His story: He is not from Faerûn, and he is a lil OP.

#Aristen #tavtoqd

I'm always afraid that the people in Aristen's story might be bothered by the fact that her main thread is her love for Astarion. That most of her story and her will to live are tied to him - such a typical "girly" story.

#tavtoqd This one is for you, who created your pretty baby:

Have you ever felt insecure about your own OC? Because of the story or appearance, or because you're afraid they could be too simple? Any kind of insecurity before showing them to the world!
