he's my tried and true

a good bean (he's frightening actually)

TeaMergency: Him? Nooooo

I do miss him actually, haven't taken him up as a muse since back when El Nysa was a thing. maybe I'll pick him back up sometime

or, sorry, Erku. gosh all the smut games of uester year are bluring together for me

Him? Naaaaah, couldn't beeee

TeaMergency: he is the kindest boi

he doesn't look terrifying at all 8D

my type will always be nerdy awkward boys with menacing aura can kill you

team's murder mom

<-- my favorite type of character

oh right, and make sure they're domestic as fuck and will do anything for the one they care about

also a super powered alternate self

.... this is a very specific trope. and yet a trope it is

...I'm not sure how I feel about the half a pair of glasses.

oh right, forgot about this one. he doesn't have a secret side but the fact that he was born so strong that he just locks himself in his house his entire life until he's forced to leave because he's afraid of inadvertantly hurting people

I do appreciate Loyal, Sweet, and Kinda Terrifying as a character type tho. ...honestly, regardless of which side is outward-facing, both ways are really good.

Exacerangutan: excuse you that is his monocle! how else is he supposed to hide the fact that he has a fake magitech eye

I do enjoy a well-thought-out World of Cardboard too *nod

but right?! I love over powerful sweet beans who are scarry when they want to be but just because they're trying to protect the one they love!

but also the divide in that they have a hard time accepting that more powerful side to themselves that omit just overall makes them very socially awkward about it

*they

Alric is in large part a study in the World of Cardboard trope, so I definitely get that. Exploring dualities and complicated layers of identity etc is characters is a big part of what I like about RP and writing.

yess! plus it leaves so much potential for growth and character development through RP! I love placing them in situations and around people who can open them up and get them to accept the parts of themselves they would much rather represe

*represe

*nodnod

i get you
