WHY DON'T YOU FOLLOW MY RULES??

Every now and then a character I've cultivated will take on such a well-developed personality that they essentially become their own people and are no longer under my control. Like raising children: eventually they just mature to where they want to do things their own way. It happens mostly with characters I've written for years but occasionally a relatively recent one does it. Naomi is only a few years old but has more personality than most of the others. She won't do anything she doesn't want and it's slightly insulting to be writing a scene and hear this voice in my head going, 'I'm not doing that, go fuck yourself!'

Stop disobeying my rules, goddammit, you're making me look bad!

Very, very occasionally this will also happen with characters who are not only comparatively recent additions but are also minor peripheral characters. Bex and York, for example, are a set of twins who have featured in bit parts for years but never played a major role. Nonetheless, they developed into their own people.

And, like sometimes happens, they started doing shit I not only never intended them to do but that I also find extremely objectionable.

For some reason, Bex and York decided they were going to have a creepily inappropriate close bond. Not normal twin behaviour but behaviour that suggests there is something very squicky and very wrong going on when I'm not in the room. Possibly because of a mental block on my end and possibly because they're being sneaky about it, I don't actually know whether or not anything is or ever has been going on between them but that doesn't make the clear indications of 'twincest' any less creepy. Or less obvious.

They even hold hands in their first official picture.

I'm not completely sure I even want to know what's going on just as long as I don't ever have to look at it.

Bonus writer!fail: I don't even know who is who. They're freakishly identical. Their ears are cut because they had a very sadistic governess as children who got fed up with confusing them and their place-swapping pranks, who did it so she could visibly determine who was who. But I don't know. York might be the one in the dress.
