Discussion Prompt #3

[meganehaven]

What motivates your OC towards their goals?
Are they doing it all for someone they love? If they're seeking revenge, why does it matter so much to them? Or on a less dramatic scale, if their goal is career-focused, why did they choose this career path and continue on it? Maybe they want a quiet life, but why?

comment below your thoughts! <3

(also im a little later in the day posting this, ive been pretty sick with a stomach bug or something?? i keep passing out, but ill be ok! just wanted to explain why it took a bit for me to post (: )

Wow, this is a hard one.

Going by my College AU verse, Kiyoshi's goal is to form a polycule, get married, and establish a family. Related, he wants to be a house husband and take care of the people he loves. The motivation behind his goal is that he didn't have that kind of "normal" family life (bc of divorced parents). He thinks achieving such a goal would make him happy.

As for Keima, he's a chill dude who cannot think long-term to save his life so with his job as a coach in his former middle school and spending time with his partner Kiyoshi, he thinks his life is pretty cozy and fun.

Hope you get well soon!

Kiyoshi is so real for wanting to be a house husband, plus it makes sense given his immediate family situation! maybe his goals could help keima with a longterm plan (: as long as its fun to him ofc!

ty for sharing! and for the well wishes, im starting to recover as far as i can tell (:

[arimamary]

Thank you! Kiyoshi tends to be self-critical and beat himself up for wanting certain things because he's keenly aware of his biases. But everyone around him knows he would be a great homemaker!

Keima is going along with Kiyoshi's plan and being hands off about it until something that changes their dynamic actually happens. He does enjoy how Kiyoshi brings him new experiences.

Happy to hear you're getting better! Take care!

Using my My Time at Sandrock OC, Celeste, for this prompt!

In terms of goals... she's naturally helpful and self-driven; you almost have to be in her universe where the world is technologically set back *and* forward in different ways, and being a Builder is the most rewarding thing in her life. She wants to be part of a definite change for the better for the desolate town she's determined to help (which no spoilers, but regarding in-game canon, this does happen!), and that motivates her to strive to be the very best she can be, along with pushing herself to her limits.

Her other goal is to have a good life with her husband ❤️ ergo, her husband who's continuing to work hard to redeem himself to the townsfolk again after being exposed being part of a plan to destroy the town, essentially. Even though she did nothing wrong, public perception is a hell of a thing (like "why is she staying with someone like that, she's as bad as him") so power of love applies too.

She's not letting it bring her down though! (ง •̀_•́)ง

// also, feel better! I definitely think a sort of sickness is going around lately and it being the holidays with people travelling around and the weather just exacerbates it!

[meganehaven]

power of love pulls through!! i imagine how Celeste helps the town def aids her husband in redeeming himself over time. gotta slowly rebuild trust and whatnot (:

also ty! starting to recover i think, i get bored laying down all the time lol. my roommates daughter is in 1st grade tho, so its only natural she brings back whatever sickness is going around.

but that aside, thank you for sharing as well! :D
