i think ultimately the biggest type i have is just "someone who puts forward a completely unshakeable persona out of fear but they are in actuality quite fragile"

and sometimes a loser

this applies to basically all the muses at the top of my muselist + penelope, edelgard, raven, felix, deacon, near, satoko, effy, sucy, harrow, coronabeth, dahlia, maya, franziska, ianthe.

there's also this element of like. questions of an inner cruel nature vs the actions that they take.

chara, faith, aelwyn, penelope, spike, damian, bruce, harrow, raven, satoko, beyond - they all think of themselves as like, fundamentally broken at the core and have VERY DIFFERENT ways of coping with it. spike is the only one that's kind of right and wildly his approach to it is SOMEHOW one of the more emotionally mature ways to look at it

mostly because he doesn't feel guilt i think

i say broken i more mean corrupted

anyway, another summary is just this songMarina & The Diamonds - Oh No! HQ

"feel like i'm the worst, so i always act like i'm the best."

also that textpost about like "miles edgeworth is agnostic in that he doesn't believe in the concept of god or the afterlife but he is CERTAIN he's going to hell"

shakes hands in 'oh no' solidarity
