I have been barely RPing with her at all since I started doing PSLs with Ollie because Chaya’s normal teenagers having normal teenage angst are so much less interesting than whatever cannibalism and prostitution and shit Ollie and I have going on, and she keeps complaining that she’s bored lol

She wants to do more of the modern AU which I would have to reread to catch the thread of and also is about just completely mundane adult men getting married in Vegas and I am finding it very difficult to care

like she doesn't take the characterization into account at all?
any other name
2024-12-25T17:35:46.000Z
I mean her characters are definitely distinct

2024-12-25T23:47:25.000Z
but are they surface distinct or are they deep motivation distinct?

you probably don't want to read a couple hundred thousand words of 'reg is sorted into ravenclaw and befriends jewish halfbloods and the fics are all titled pretentiously from french and german ltierature' to make a judgment on the matter
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
2024-12-26T00:05:35.000Z
basically it's like. do they want different things? have different deep seated anxieties? bc a lot of the time I've noticed that people who are not actively grinding the skill have different characterizations but it's more surface-level, first impression stuff

I think they do yeah. like. reg has background of abuse and has overcoming that and he wants peace and he basically ignores the entire war and refuses to engage with it. max can't stand not being involved in the war and spies for the order and hies it from reg to avoid upsetting him.
