OK I BROKE 30K I AM ALLOWED.

For Acedia, Aeris and Alexiel.

I also NPC Sleeping Beauty, Cheshire Cat, Dream and Three of Three and will field questions about them as well, though I retain the right to ~ * spoilers * ~ not answer.

ASK ME THINGS. I will be picking at this for at least a week +A+!

ANY TEAM CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR APP IN THE POOL '-'?

[scalesfromeyes]

Nope. :'D I keep thinking about it but like… I think even the teams that would be "worse" for that app in terms of support would still be interesting to play with? Actually, the app I had in queue previous had more of a consideration, in that if I hadn't withdrawn I probably would have sent in a notice like "would probably end up ragequitting Iolite a la Riku, so you might not want to put him there," because he has a strong internal sense of "this is how a team should work," that Iolite's attitude would grate on. But I think c-current character in queue doesn't have as much of an internal sense of what he wants and thus could the…oretically work on any team.

But I keep thinking about it as I try to get my thoughts in more coherent order, and I will definitely swing something the way of the mod email if I come to any conclusions beyond "…nope I would still love it," or think it would drastically impact my play. oh god the sad thing is how much thought I had actually devoted to this before you asked the question. I don't actually know, though, I've never played this type of character in a team-y setting oh godddd.

If you did end up apping Laura to Aather as well, what kind of team would you like to put her on? I think you've talked about this before, but I'm curious as to whether your thoughts on the matter have changed and what considerations would go into it, etc etc.

HM. I thought TE might be good for her but I also feel like they might be too hands off and orderly. Though I am not sure any team has the brutal invasiveness she really needs tbh! She will pick up a lot of whatever team she would be on too. Or whoever threaded with her most in her early days. Laura really needs someone who would MAKE her be her own person. Like, not tell her what to do otherwise she'll just accept it pretty easily.

:9 how many words is your essay now?

[scalesfromeyes]

STILL 4700! I haven't actually added anything because I keep babbling on plurk or at Bonten instead, orz. But I might do that today after I get some holiday stuff done because ugh ugh ugh holiday stress can surely be solved by essaying.

NGL, a lot of your Laura talk fascinates me in terms of Aather and team because Ginshu had some similar problems but on a less severe scale? Like, she also has issues of being a tool and not her own person and internalizing that, and early Coral was fantastic for that but most of her push these days comes from outside the team. *_* So.

Have you talked about Alexiel in terms of personhood/how she sees herself, yet? :3c

[adharma]

:3c I LOVE YOUR GINSHU TALK REALLY for probably similar reasons. PERSONHOOD!!!

Nnnot yet. She is a bit of a puzzle really. I AM STILL FEELING HER OUT esp given LOL IDENTITY in Angel Sanctuary and how she and Lucifer are so narratively obscured in a lot of ways.

IT IS HARD BECAUSE REALLY so much of her identity is hinged on Rosiel. PRETTY SURE "I love Rosiel" while not romantically inclined is also pretty possessive in terms of self identity. In a way "I love Lucifer" is not.
