Moonbeam: A Timeline series companion

exposing myself

Hello. I just got off work, and decided today I feel like telling you which character my friends all say I'm the most like in the Timeline series even though I swear to god she wasn't intended to be similar to me at all... drumroll please...

Yeah it's Permafrost. You caught me. We're both ex gifted kids who were taught they're not valuable if they don't work constantly at a very young age and now have learned to work around the clock and make our lives revolve around constant productivity, with no idea how to handle other people's emotions, who go between taking themselves way too seriously and having absolutely no self-esteem. Also, we were both raised to think we're better than everyone else only to realize when we get older that other people aren't actually that terrible, and then proceeded to have a life crisis because if you're not the best in the room at any given moment, What Even Is The Point. Oh, and also, that thing where she's constantly terrified she's being impolite or coming off wrong, because she's been raised to believe she's fundamentally unlikeable and has to mask it in social pleasantries? So. Um. Yeah. Guess where she got that from?

But lots of her character is still totally fictional. I can't walk with teacups on my head and I don't have nice handwriting, rip.

(Yes I am ok lol) (Don't worry, sometimes you just gotta project your issues onto your OCs until you feel better)
