Perscitia is not really very good with people. Or interpersonal communication in general. So when he flatters her she is entirely willing to take it as completely honest because it doesn't even occur to her that it would be otherwise! So she likes him because of that, but it is the kind of liking where she still has no real interest in him as a person. XD He is hers, though, which is an important concept to dragons, and she feels like he is a valuable and competent teammate, so she is going to be defensive of him! And he is closer to her than the rest of the team because he saw (...metaphorically saw) her not at her best. SHE IS REALLY SENSITIVE ABOUT BEING SCARED OF THINGS AND HE DIDN'T KNOCK HER AT ALL FOR IT, SO.
I figured that was why Break was happy to defeat Iolite, but I actually know almost nothing about Pandora Hearts, so give me the five-second summary of Break and Vincent?
Vincent poisoned Sharon to get something from Break in canon once :|b And Sharon is one of the most important things to Break everrrrrrrrrrr he would give up a lot for her.
Vincent was also around when Break was in the Abyss -- which was a terrible experience and he sort of has Issues with everything related to that time in his life \:D/
HE IS A LOT DIFFERENT sob I really need to write an extensive essay especially given his most recent memories but:
In summary, canon Raven is basically a huge bundle of lies and defense mechanisms and multiple personas! Schwann is the hard-working and honorable knight captain, Raven is the lazy, womanizing guild reconnaissance agent. Except really both of those are lies! But he doesn't really have a core self under that anymore, since he has been basically dead inside for ten years as he performed those roles, and everyone who knew him before that is dead. At the end of canon Raven ends up embracing being Raven and renouncing Schwann, since he's a lot more comfortable with the anarchic setup that guilds have than the responsibility of the knights, and because Schwann is connected to a lot of terrible things he did as well as the man who manipulated him for ten years, whereas he knows the party as Raven and he loves them. In sidequests people try to convince him that Schwann wasn't all bad, and that he doesn't have to reject that part of himself completely, but he doesn't get very far along that road by the end of the game.
Whereas in aather, he built up some sort of self before he even really knew much about "Raven" or "Schwann"! And he still doesn't really know much about Schwann. And he still hasn't remembered his death, or anything of Alexei manipulating him directly, so the glimpses he's gotten into his depression/emotional deadness worry him but don't really connect. Not to mention that he doesn't have to lie to people here. So he's a lot more honest and less sketchy since he's not leaning so heavily on his Raven defense mechanisms, and more dedicated because he hasn't been so heavily jaded. BASICALLY he is actually managing to merge Raven/Schwann attributes way better then he would ever manage after canon.
Tell me some Amethyst thingssss. Idk what. Things.
• Amethyst is not a teamy-team so much as individuals that work together under the heading of team! A lot of us have important off team CR -- both Break and Sugata have Most Important People on other teams. Ryner too -- i think? Misato has Eva castmates, Yuuki's two other sides of the love triangle are knights, etc etc.
• WE ARE NOT A STRONG GAME TEAM :'D;;; Not decisive enough for most choice games, or humorous enough for humor games! Or ruthless enough for choice games . . . when we win it seems to be a fluke though we have good luck with skill games.
• We've gelled a lot more recently though so these facts may be defunct!
• Sugata used to babysit a lot but now he doesn't. Break used to refer to Sugata as 'lord' but now he doesn't.
• MISATO IS A DRUNK AND BREAK HAS AN ORAL FIXATION THAT MANIFESTS AS CANDY EATING USUALLY.
Raven ships Ryner and Ferris a lot, so I'd say yes on that one. XD
Perscitia helped win a decisive battle against Napoleon by lighting alcohol-soaked ropes on fire and dropping them on the enemy! Except then the Duke of Wellington got mad at her because she used up all the alcohol and the troops had nothing to drink after their victory. BUT WHATEVER, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE WON WITHOUT HER. ...Also she didn't actually do any of the dropping or fire-lighting, just the alcohol-soaking, because only Iskierka can breathe fire, and dropping them herself would have brought her in range of gunfire, which is dangerous :|. Also I guess technically she probably ordered her militiamen to do the actual soaking. BUT SHE'S THE BEST STRATEGIST OKAY!! (She acquires a group of militiamen and such that she bribes/employs to do stuff for her like manage artillery and write letters.)
Also at the end of the book she is in they ship Temeraire away to Australia for treason to prevent dragon revolt in England, but Perscitia stays behind and appears to be doing a pretty good job of messing up the status quo herself by completely screwing up the economy with her dragon shipping company and not listening to anything people in charge say. :'D
Do you have any exciting plans for your characters!! Or is it just see how things go.
IDK. Probably a sadistic toppy woman, I am missing that. Someone like Medusa, except I am not sure she would be a good fit for aather because we still don't know much about her history/motivations. Maybe Balalaika, who I actually have most of an app written for already except that then Temeraire apped so I apped Perscitia instead. :|b I am really pretty certain I don't have the time or energy for a third as things stand now though.
THAT SAID do you have any sadistic toppy woman recs for me. :|a
Hmmmmmmm. I wonder if the novels of Trinity Blood have been translated enough :|a But Monica Argento or Caterina are both really toppy. Monica is/can be sadistic and Caterina isn't really sadistic but she is an Iron Woman so to speak.
What series are you into right now/ARE JUST GREAT SERIES!!
...Well I love Homestuck... and I am replaying Vesperia and in love with it again. Also I am watching the Naruto anime but I wouldn't actually call that great. I am also getting back into Soul Eater, and Soul Eater Not! which is enjoyable even though so far it is only adorable antics and lesbians. OTHER THAN THAT I haven't really been getting into new things lately. Theoretically I am watching Doctor Who but I haven't actually been making much progress.
I AM GOING TO HAVE A SHOWER AND DO STUFF NOW so I think I am out of questions.
