I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Stop trying to write OC x Canon. Your writing will be better if you focus on your own characters, characters you yourself have created. Derailing existing characters just to pair them with your own drags down your writing potential while also annoying people who dislike non-canon shipping.

I know I haven't been terribly polite about this in the past, but believe me when I say this advice does not come from a place of malice. It comes from a place of extensive personal experience.

Spend more time fleshing out who your characters are as themselves, rather than as a wish-fulfillment romantic partner for a canon character.

Why do they exist? What purpose do they serve in the story you want to tell, other than to hijack and overwrite the official story and change it to your liking?

You have potential, Baja, and passion for what you do. If you didn't you wouldn't still be here after all the shit we've given you over the years. But you are holding yourself back.
