I was creating GG when I was just figuring out my own labels, so naturally I projected every single one of them onto it. Currently I don’t identify as non-binary, but I was seriously considering it at the time. Everything in my life started to make sense when I found my labels. But I hadn’t told everyone about them yet, so I made this character with a wonderful, accepting support system as sort of a comfort
GG is the latest in a long line of what I like to call my “what the heck is wrong with me?” OCs, where I just dump every negative quality about myself into one character. Usually I hate those characters. Not this time. This time I gave it some good friends and a nice surrogate mom. And I realized its actions were ultimately justified it its own way. And I was able to work through my own issues like that
While GG represents everything I am, Spring represents everything I thought I should be. She was originally made to be my Sonic sona, but obviously that fell through.
She’s beautiful, loved by everyone, feminine and gentle. Insanely kind and forgiving. And, you know, attracted to people. Obviously being aroace is not a character flaw, but when I was making these characters it felt like that, I wished I could just be “normal.” So, being everyone’s (including my own) expectations for myself, do I or GG feel animosity towards her?
Not one bit. GG wants to protect her, even if it’s “protecting” her from Rocko.
I dunno. I just think it’s really wonderful and beautiful that I was able to put so much personal emotion and meaning into these characters. They really have helped me, they’re my biggest comforts.
GG was brought up in an extremely conservative family that was trans- and a- phobic. Its family forced it to become engaged with an abusive man. GG had to hide its true self to survive and swallow its repulsion to be accepted. Its parents were also a terrible couple. In this way, GG was never exposed to positive, healthy couples, and firmly believes that all love leads to ruin
Rocko was the first person to accept GG as its true self. GG feels the need to protect him at any cost and stay by his side. But when Rocko and Spring meet, sparks fly almost immediately. GG is naturally terrified, for several reasons.
1) All love leads to pain, and this relationship will inevitably end in Rocko being hurt
2) it’s worried that Rocko will forget it now that he’s paying attention to a romantic partner
3) gross, couples doing couple things in its direct line of vision
4) if Rocko finds out about GG being against the relationship, he may cut it off
At first it thinks that Spring must be a bad person or some sort of temptress. But as it learns more about Spring, it grows to want to protect her as well. However, because of the antagonistic way they started out, Spring already knows that GG is against the relationship while Rocko doesn’t. She tries to keep the couple things out of GG’s general vicinity, but that just makes it feel like they’re avoiding it or forgetting it just like it was afraid they would.
Therefore, GG’s solution is to make the two break up before they get too attached or trapped in some sort of commitment.
To be honest, I’m not sure what kind of things GG should do to try and make them break up. The only thing I’ve thought of is provoking fights between them. There’s got to be snea’ier and better tactics it could use. I’ll have to brainstorm more lol. If y’all have any ideas please let me know
