I think one of the main reasons I never can properly start on TDC, the main fanfiction I have always wanted to write, is probably because I am a bit unsure about how people will react on the protagonist.
I have come a long way with developing Flynn Klausch, from just being made to be a "badass" like the Sparda twins, MG Raiden and other those sort of characters.
But as I have matured and thus revised stories I have written, Flynn has more so become a reflection of how disgusted with myself I have often felt, and how I always feel I don't matter even the slightest, even if I do things that puts me in the spotlight, which I feel I never need to be in nor deserve.
Flynn is a personification of self harm and hate, but also the strength to reconcile with yourself and others, not wanting anyone to suffer unless the person themself causes their own suffering, though even then, no further harm towards needs to be done.
All in all, I will see how I actually approach writing TDC, I might honestly decide to shorten the story and write the main arc that does reflect a lot upon depression, self-harm, but also reconciliation and reminding that there is much better ways out from the lowest points in your life other than self-destruction or suicide, no matter if it doesn't feel like it or not.
