Some thoughts on
HatoFic:
1.) Sakuya is weirdly difficult for me to pin down, at least into the mood I'm trying to get him into. He's very high-strung and skittish, with a brittle arrogance that can quickly flare from ice-queen snobbery into rank-pulling snitfits. Under physical strain, he goes into wild-eyed panic mode. He's bossy and rude and I have no idea why I have this weird affection for him. The only things that bring his vulnerability near the surface are music and exhaustion, and even then he has that brittle self-protective facade. Firm confrontation can win his respect, as long as it's resolved calmly.
2.) I'm basically pigeonholing (haha) Yuuya as a calmer, saner Enishi. Whatever that means is left of Enishi after that filtering process. He is fun. It's nice to reconfirm that he survives Sakuya's extended ending.
3.) I adore Nanaki as a character, but I can't seem to envision writing him at all. I can't get much of a grip at all on Nageki. I like Anghel, but I'm just feeling automatic warning bells about trying to get anywhere near his madness place.
4.) Ryouta is sweet, but a bit bland. "Yasashii boy," the wombat-consort usually calls this type. He's just kinda there.
5.) Apparently I can project Dr. Iwamine's mindset with disturbing efficacy. I don't really get the squeeing directed *at* him... it's more of a sense that it would be unfortunately fun to *be* him.
6.) If birdified, Miles Edgeworth would totally be a fantail pigeon. I suppose Phoenix Wright would make a good blue jay. Now that I've refilled the birdfeeder out on the deck, bluejays have been objecting all over the place all day.
