First I was thinking about self-analyzing myself again, but I don't believe anyone wants to read how I (incoherently!) ramble about why I can write certain characters but not others XD and how I always put something of myself into the characters (most of the time just a really tiny thing. Just a little quirk, maybe). And don't worry, I always check if it fits the characters personality. But, as I said, no one would want to read that.

Instead I tried to stop associate the voice of the singer of Turisas with Fado because the voice just fits Fado. (And the mental picture of Fado with their face painting is just rolftastic. Add a kilt and you have Braveheart in red/black XD)

Oh, and I have Viggy angst for you (on dreamwidth). Because Viggy angst is my favourite flavour of angst. Originally that was supposed to be the meme fill of raphi´s prompt "smile", but then I thought it didn't fit and raphi probably wouldn't want Vigarde angst anyway. And Lucius had been my first idea anyway (well, then I forgot it, got inspired with Viggy angst, wrote it, and then remember Lucius and wrote that one).

And since I'm on the topic of Vigarde... You know, I don't particular care if people read my (bro) stuff. I just put it out there and people can decide if it's their cup of tea or not (and enjoy it silently or not. As long as they have fun, I don't care 8D). And still it feels kinda... weird to post all my bro stuff on ff.net. It's all very irrational and contradictory but... sometimes I wonder what people think when they see my bro stuff. Something like "that strange person writes about minor characters nobody cares about, lol". It does not exactly bug me but... AGH! I don't know. It feels weird. I'm wondering if I should even bother posting there sometimes because sometimes I believe no one cares anyway. But then I also don't really care if other people care at the same time >:/ This is such a strange weirdness and I know it's contradictory but I still feel both feelings. Aaaah, why so complicated? Oh well, feelings are rarely logical or coherent or make sense. *sigh*

Oops, now I did self-analyze without planning it XD Oh, and I'm kinda sick. Dammit. I have to hold a presentation tomorrow >:/

I figure the main thing is, write what you want.

I mean, you can't expect a huge reception to characters who aren't super well loved. It just usually doesn't happen.

But the perceptions of other people? Really, who cares? So you have favorites. That's fine. So you write about them a lot. Again, who cares? It's your time, and your life, and nobody has to look at it if they don't want to. If someone's gonna think, oh, look, it's CM with the brokings again, and look down on you for it? Let them! What does the opinion of someone who's going to look down their nose at what you like to do matter, anyway?

I mean, I'll admit - I'm not that interested in the characters you like to write. But there's nothing wrong with that. A lot of people don't care about who I like to write. Again, who cares? Maybe someone out there does like it, and might be sad not to see more of it, even if they don't review or comment or fave or whatever.

TL;DR: don't let the imagined opinions of people who don't matter get to you.

I know all that, but it's still... there sometimes. I find it highly annoying, really, but sometimes I have those strange bouts of extreme self-consciousness >:( For example, over all I couldn't care less about how people view my clothing style. But then suddenly, one day I'm extremely self-conscious and try to look really good. I dunno. It's strange.

And I certainly won't stop writing the bro kings >:)

I know the feeling, yeah.
Just, don't let it mess up what you like :33

Something like "that strange person writes about minor characters nobody cares about, lol"

I think any of us who don't write for and about the big popular characters feel that sometimes. I mean, I write for both the most obscure game and the most reviled game in the series. When a lot of people don't seem to care about anything other than Elibe or Tellius, it does feel lonely at times.

But the way I look at it-- other people have no problem filling up ffnet with what they want to read-- Tactician Stus and hybrid laguz and all the rest of it. So why shouldn't I post the things I want to read about?
