A Conversation with Mar by Rory

A Conversation with Mar

Rory

Something short and sweet that I wrote just now. Mar is... a very special character to me, but he's more than that. It's hard to describe, but having a conversation with one of my characters was nothing short of heartwarming. Hope you enjoy.

    Even without knowing the true underpinnings of the emotion and personal connection, that was a very touching short story. Not to mention it's such wonderfully unique idea to have a chat with an alter-ego, in whichever form that may be. Hope you don't mind, but I might very well have to steal that idea to pull on my own characters sometime XD

      Wow, I'm glad that you enjoyed this Intrufox! Please, feel free to run with the idea yourself; it's definitely an experience. Mar and I have quite the history; I've been shamed for being him, I've had him outright stolen from me, I've exposed myself in edgy ways with him, and yet he's still there for me after everything. He's a character I aspire to be more like, but sometimes I have to remember that he's just a blue and white furred version of me. Mar is such a sweetheart underneath it all, and I feel so amazed to have such wonderful characters to express myself with.

    Indeed, I look forward to getting the chance to giving it a go myself! My primary character sounds like he falls within some of the same lines as Mar, an idealist creation that at my very best I aspire towards and at worst helps me get through the day...

    Penning a conversation of our actual history would be quite an introspective exercise, hopefully not so personal that I would hesitate to post it haha


    And feel free to call me Intru if you so desire, intrufox just sounds so official in my mind XD

      If you ever do, I'd be excited to see it! Sorry about that, Intru~ Amusingly enough, I'm currently in the midst of a conversation with someone new I've started speaking with on messengers, and it's funny how we both have to shake off the formal stiffness. xD It's just a thing I do, but at the very least I'm very quick to open up and be myself.

    I wish real life could be a bit like that haha.

      Me too, buddy. Me too. A hug from Mar would wash away all my worries.

        I wonder how other creatures of yours react to that last bit lol

  • Link

    Wow x3 I used to do that as a forum game waaaay back then, "talking with myself", your real self having a talk with your 'sonas or charas. But sheesh, you took it to an extra mile :3

    It's touching~ You gave all the signals that there's a lot of untold stuff in this talk. As a hobbyist writer, very well played x3 As a reader, damn you for making me curious again XD

      Aw, thank you! Been wanting to do something like this for awhile, and I chose the character that I've been through the most ups and downs with. I should take my own advice to heart, I think. x_x And like you said, people figure out pretty quickly that I'm actually a pretty big tease, so~ it's only natural that it's in my writings. There is a certain story that I'd probably like to edit and upload here, but I've stayed away from the NSFW stuff so far haha.

        I was guessing it was another sad backstory, but... DUUUUDE, that flew over my head! X#DD Really? Interspecies? >:#3

        • Link

          Nah, nothing interspecies going on. It's just, you know when you deny a part of yourself for a long time, due to both external and internal pressures? That's what I was feeling when writing this.

          • Link

            Gah, sorry, jumped the gun in there xwx;

            • Link

              You're fine, no worries. :3

    I really like this concept (though no sushi? waaaaaaah). Well executed without being cheesy, which I could see this type of piece leaning toward if not written correctly. My only critique is the first paragraph is in a different tense than the rest of the piece, which makes it read awkwardly. Well done!

    • Link

      The sushi will be for another time, though I did like the idea! Thanks, though. I think I kept it sweet and short, and somehow managed to keep any cheesiness out. You're right about the tenses, though I can't get over how much worse it'd sound if I put it in the past tense. Hm.

  • Link

    Awww. I sometimes do it too, talking to my characters. I really wish I could say something smarter because this makes me feel a lot but it's hard to put my thoughts together.

    • Link

      It's the equivalent of telling myself things will get better, I guess, heh. I enjoyed writing it, but I gotta remember to read it more often sometimes. Glad you got some feels out of it though, that gives me a smile.
