i will start showing up more once I have a laptop again promise


but for now, a meme I kept seeing around everywhere when I came home from werk today


The "What Icon Do You Associate With Me?" meme!
• Do not look at the comments.
• Take a look at my userpics.
• Post a comment with the icon of mine you associate with me. Leave commentary if desired.
• Repost with your default icon


also this one I saw on [livejournal.com profile] caladi 's journal
 

Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.

Before I do dat, happy birthday, Shia! <3

As for Yuusei and Ryuusei:

1) Opposites attract is the norm here, even if it's supposedly proved to be psychologically wrong. :V

2) Even if I continue to portray them as extremely polarized versions, they're supposed to be part of the same person. I have to remember that.

3) A reviewer on FFNet summarized my goals for their characterization best. But I think that Ryuusei is what Yusei, in the regular anime, looks like from the outside. Cold, distant, and unfriendly. Ryuusei is supposed to be what people might expect Yuusei to act like. Yuusei is just supposed to be what he truly is at the core.

4) Trying to think up the sinful equivalents that Ryuusei replaces love and other such benevolent emotions with is quite hard. But entertaining. Contradictions are everything

5) Everything about Ryuusei is untrue in some fashion. Everything he says must be second guessed. This includes the rest of the list. Except maybe not.
