i think my favourite thing about creating mean and abhorrent characters is the kind of freedom to play around with and understand how they got to that point. not like how people will excuse it but as in psychoanalyzing these things. i love getting into their heads and knowing all their sore spots and what gets bruised when it’s just soo much fun. i love the absence of an idea of ‘good’ or ‘moral’ but the concept of cruelty hanging over the natural state of the world.

#this is kind of about gwen. shes a horrible person but i love walking through #her life and knowing what develops when. the enitre concept of her spending centuries FORMING because she's a rock and then being forced- #-to just exist forever. she is so fascinated by animals that it makes her so hateful towards them for having it so easy #she doesnt even WANT easy shes just mad they got it. she spent soo long being mad and bored with her 'family' that mimicked an animal trait #thats another of my favourite things #the idea of the gargoyles little group being a 'family'. because the gargoyles were alll formed from the same mountain/landscape so they- #-cobbled together this social structure to function because the animal societies were doing it so well and subsequently trapping themselves- #-into a constant fight for power but even bigger figh about superiority and the elders being the most important #it all builds up to this constant frustration of gwen being the youngest but the most 'popular' one in the sense that she's a public figure #so she feels so entitled to all the things everyone else has that she comes to a point of taking it by force. in the end leading up to sifa #which i should specify there WASN'T sex involved in sifas creation lol gargoyles do not have genitals they are rocks #essentially the whole reason gwen was so wrapped up in keeping josef was because he's a qursa tiefling #which means he's a wild magic TAP. hes fucking leaking that shit everywhere she felt the power from a mile away #he cannot use any of it because it would kill him probably but gwen /can/ and she spent a good while sapping his magic until eventually- #-propositioning him to 'make' sifa. wherein she would just need to cut him open to take the magic necessary to make a weird almost-clone #its fucked up either way and a violation of josefs bodily automonmy. sorry josef #and also fucked up that sifa can never feel like her own person. girl cause youre not #HUGE RANT #oc shit
