How the the happened[]
uhh so basically
yknow that one thing related to canon su that sounds somewhat like "ok so basically white made the other diamonds via grabbing parts of her own personaily (or was it emotions? idfk) and turning that shit into actual people"?
i have no damn clue if that shit's actually canon or not because i haven't touched white diamond's wiki page in 6000 years and dont plan on going there anytime soon and also ironically i didn't even watch steven universe at all in my whole life but. whatever that thing exists and its related to the defective crayon that i want to personally shatter.
(24.03.23 UPD: okay so i learned that there exists a very canon image of the diamonds just. emerging outta planet together 20000 years ago. ik the above funny theory thing whatever isnt canon now but idfc i'm going to keep the methods name the way it is, because i'm a dumb bish (+ the very canon image contradicts how diamond creation functions in my aus so i don't care about it)
and like
yknow how i make all of my sonas via grabbing one or several of my personality traits along with some random shit and developing the resulting stupidity until it functions like a proper character? oh and by the way i do that mostly because i physically cannot make sonas in the "me as an [insert whatever here]" method because for some weird reason i am physically uncapable of making anything that functions fully like me. not like i even want to because technically for someone to have a personality THAT similar to mine they'd basically have to go through the same or approximately the same life experiences which in most of my sonas' cases is, like, physically, mentally, aetherically and basically on all existent levels impossible, but yeah, i can't do that so i resorted to the thing i described in the non crossed out text but that's not the point
like yesterday or so i remembered that white diamond related thing exists and then i remembered how my sona creation method functions and just went "hold up. hold up. HOLD THE FUCK UP"
yeah i uh. realised that this whole time ive essentially been cosplaying the tall pointy offcolored wreck lmfao
and uh
i just went like. hey if im gonna describe how i make sonas anyway i might aswell give that method a name
and i did that. it's called the "White Diamond" method now. not officially but whatever idgaf its fucking funny and im gonna call it that for the rest of my stupidly short existence
How to make sonas of whatever fandom via the defective crayon method. oh and by the way while we're at it, this shit isn't sona exclusive, you can make normal characters via that crap too. its just that i most of the time only use it to make sonas, which is why i only say 'sona' everywhere in this blogpost most of the time[]
Basically, it works like this:
First of all you grab one or several of your personality traits (anything can work, from big main traits to general emotions to opinions to just little random things). it generally tends to work better if you choose several, but one trait can work too. That shit's gonna be the 'core' of the idiot's personality. Not the entire personality, just its main part (Unless you actually want your character to function like Brownie after the morphing crack). Everything else about the idiot's personality can be literally whatever that goes good with the 'core' and the general lore of the sona.
Another thing you can do is, if you grabbed a bad personality trait, you can just go the frick ahead and amplify it. a lot. (this is how i make the non uncringe diamondsonas by the way lol)
And second of all... Pretty much just do the good ol' basic character development crap. backstory, the rest of the personality, etc. That stuff.
The end result generally ends up being a perfectly adequate character who happens to be based off of one/several of your personailty trait(s).
....If you actually know how to make adequately functioning characters.
And then you can repeat the same shit with different personality trait(s). And then do it again. And again. And again. And-
okay ill stfu
but yeah, by using this method you can end up having 69420 sonas every single one of which is based off of a part of you
funny shit innit
An example of the the[]
So, y'know Cat's Eye, right?
Well, you'll probably do after reading this lol.
Anyways, let's just use that idiocy of a gemsona to explain how my stupid ahh method can function.
nevermind im too lazy to do that right now, my motivation committed Pink Diamond.
brb in 6000 years, dont go anywhere
