Re: The Thornton-Curry Saloon (OOC Thread)
I admit I'm laughing but I apologize if Double Kay's latest diatribe is too much, I always try to think of the worst possible things to say and then wonder if I've gone too far this time.
I don't mean for it to be gratuitous, KK isn't meant to be edgy and offensive, she's meant to be somebody who at a deep level is fundamentally hurt and has learned to cope with that hurt in the worst ways possible: through violence and abusing others in kind. I try not to get too far into why she's like this because 1) it's boring and 2) for fear of implying something I shouldn't. I strive to make it over the top deliberately to make it clear this is simply a character.
However I would not be honest if I didn't admit I don't laugh at some of the horrible things I come up with, and while I think it's okay to laugh at them because they are so gross and ridiculous, I also want to be clear the motivation is ultimately to show that even with her past mistakes, personal problems and character flaws, our outlaw is a much better person than she thinks she is.
