My peak has yet to come.

And it probably never will.

That's just not how I operate.

And of course I'm pompous so I think I'm always improving so nyeh to your pessimism.

Characters having singular, linear arcs is A Systemic Problem.

You gotta be more fluid and organic about it.

how can i do that when i have the compulsive urge to switch out characters constantly for balanced screentime but i also have to continue other arcs but then the person i'm playing with retires a character that was important to them and i have to find a NEW arc and i get to bring this all up in court and SUE YOUR ASSES

People don't have single issues that run through and define their life all on their own.

And they're not resolved as individuals when the problem passes.

Things never end and problems intertwine and fade and resurface periodically.

Reducing it down to a simple character arc removes the opportunity for added complexity.

I think I've regressed a bit since Griffin.

Griffin was my peak.

Well.

Brainstorming might be required.

In some cases.

I know I don't have to do it because I know exactly what I want to do.

I just don't do it.

that is always a problem with plotless/decentralized R Ps, since there's no central plot to keep you focused everything has to be done under your own will power and concentration. which can be a chore.
