I'm so proud of you, Tiago! You did it! ^^ I'm happy to hear you got through them. Hoping your hard work paid off!

I must become an evil wizard.

The other thing is trying to find meaningful ways to communicate distress and frustration. But I just sort of end up pacing.

I am aware that selfie cameras distort your face significantly, and lack much of the appeal of 'existing in three dimensions,' but still...

Ridiculous creature has some measure of vanity.

Also, Naminé transitioning into twink Ansem.

They probably won't, or, at least, not intentionally. But, I mean, I also think they're tempting individuals for each other. But this requires a ramble I'm not sure I'm prepared for, and explores a lot of both manipulation and connection. And, also, genuine curiosity about their respective skills.

There's something different, but also something similar, to the intellectual curiosity and philosophical questions that Apprentice Xehanort offered to him. I also like them exploring their respective guilts in sometimes decent, sometimes terrible ways together.

The only person in the universe who enjoys imagining these two. I just love the concept of a deeply pained Ansem realizing that Naminé is becoming more like him, but also that he can't quite stop her from doing so.

For all the issues the Sora and Riku fandom have, I got lucky that we now exist in a time when they get to be somewhat fluid with their dynamics.

No, Mint, it's fine! I'm mostly reflecting on broader interaction with my work; there's no pressure [unless you need there to be so we can transform this from a fun activity you feel hang ups about into a terrible activity I pestered you to participate in, oTL].

It's funny that I completely forgot this was a thing, whoops. That makes sense, though. I really can't provide those dynamics, though. [Evil voice] I care too much about Xehanort.

It is useless information, because I am not going to change what I do, or how I write. But an intellectual curiosity is always going to exist, I suppose. Maybe it's a wondering about what makes other people tick?

The other aspect of the previously mentioned networking and community thing is that I'm not much of a reader myself, which likely contributes to me having less of a presence. Mutual interaction is a thing.

But I also think I can write things that get a bit confusing at points. This is usually deliberate, but I can see why someone might not like it.
