Tfw you create a fictional world and a main plot for your protagonist, but then you start to unintentionally focus on a certain side character that somehow ends up with a whole bunch of out-of-text lore
And somehow said side character gets even more of a character development than your protagonist
And the side character gets more and more screentime, and a whole lot more effect on the main plot. You, the author, have no control over it when it happens... It just happens
They are somehow one of the fan-favorites now, maybe even moreso than your protagonist
And at this point, you can’t keep track of their lore. When and how did the side character get developed this much in their separate plot? How did they turn into this specific archetype of character? No clue. You only know that somehow, they did
You don’t even know where they currently are in the fictional world. They’re probably just going wild somewhere
The side character is currently creeping you out, going on about how they must “keep the wheel turning,” also they might heavily dislike you
