QUESTION MEME

[adharma]

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+!

IN SOME WAYS IT'S REALLY SIMPLE.

Mukuro in canon is a "complete part" in a way. He balances with things outside of himself. Lliiikkkeee his sense of personhood is a tray and you're putting various dishes on it. Before he was all dessert and french fries '-' and now he's got some better stuff on it as well.

Acedia is . . . an "incomplete part". The things around him change him. PUT FRIES NEXT TO THE BROCCOLI AND THEY DON'T REMAIN INDEPENDENT. YOU GET BROCCOLI FRIES! It's really more like his sense of personhood is a pot and stuff keeps getting put in it.

Part of this is because in a way Mukuro 'finished growing up' to some extent. His formative experiences were formative and harsh. Acedia's formative experiences are still going.

If you HAD to app a character from the Hunger Games who would you app :U

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HER YET but Johanna ♥ she's in the second book and she's amazing and also slaps Katniss in the face at one point.

What about you :U

I would app Peeta and then make him completely OOC by making him not a nice guy.

So, did you read all 3 books ...

[brotagonist]

I read the first two and I read the third for a chapter or two and ragequit. I only read the second one because my mom brought them home from work and I just start reading things if they're on the kitchen table in front of me when I'm eating. It's like a brainstem reflex.

At the end of the second one it's like she's going to start doing interesting things but then it turns out that going to the district that's not under the capitol's control is also The New Worst Thing and I just went ARGLEBARGLE and quit reading. Though now that I know what happens I consider myself lucky.

Rec some YA you liked to me and talk about it a little even if you think I might already know it '^'

EVERYTHING BY CHARLES DE LINT. Though technically 'Blue Girl' might be his only 'YA'. Charles de Lint is urban fantasy! And very heavy into the storytelling side and he dips into various mythologies. Also a really interesting spread of characters +A+

... tamora pierce, mercedes lackey :'D; also Meredith Anne Pierce though TROLOLOL VAMPIRE ANGEL TROLOLOL. But the story has some really interesting reaches too. I remember feeling pretty pleased at the story tho this was also years ago.

GARTH NIX ;'D;;; I like dark adventure... tho i preferred shade's children to sabriel because i was a weird kid.

LJ SMITH..... which is terrible. But I still enjoy it. IT'S VAMPIRES AND SUPERNATURAL STUFF AND ~ SOULMATES ~. And I guess LJ Smith is kind of shameless.

Graceling and Fire, though they are both... more of the hunger games variety. Though I liked them better.

... i guess that's it :|a really for YA

BOOK RECS FROM YOU???
