- MEME -

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

I saw this from larissa.

1.) Pick one of my icons in my user icons
2.) I will ramble on about it, the character involved as well as link to the song and why I used it to describe said icon.
3.) profit, maybe?!? or at the very least, be entertained by my frivolous ramblings.
4.) PLEASE DO THIS MEME IN YOUR OWN PROFILE SO I CAN RETURN THE FAVOR
5.) REALLY PLEASE, I AM SICK AND WANT ENTERTAINMENT while i am stuck in the bathroom....

Awesome, then I don't feel so bad about spoiling it! But I'll keep the spoiler text up, because I know that with the definitive edition, there are a few replaying the game.

You have good taste in characters btw!

Also, let's play is amazing-- I am doing that through a few of the Fire Emblem games; because I like the characters and stories, but I'm not a big fan of the battle system >.>

that's very considerate of you :)

thanks! i guess i have a type (or several, just like most people). ;)

i mean, i'm also just very uncoordinated with most video games, and there are series i've tried where i just can't hack the controls or difficulty (assassin's creed is unplayably bad as a pc port, and the soulsborne series is of course just very hard). i don't really want to spend what precious free time i have getting frustrated at things, so let's play watching it is for those things. :)

TYPES ARE VERY IMPORTANT!

Though occasionally, a character will come through that blows through the type and I am like "WTF matey, what are you even doing there". But Raven/Schwann-- it's like the series creators were like "Hey, what does Nia like? She likes loveable goofballs AND she likes tragic tortured souls! ALRIGHT LET US DO THIS! CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!"

For me, Let's Plays are a matter of TIME (which I have none of, with the exception of today-- with being sick, I have too much of). I have no time for most anything, so I have to pick my poisons very carefully!

this is very true.

when someone who isn't my type goes and sets up camp in the old brainmeats, these days i just shrug and go 'welp, looks like i have a new type to add to the collection', so there's that ;)
for me, raven satisfies the whole 'complex character with tragic backstory hidden behind obvious facade' twice over, and then he gets a redemption arc. also, i just relate to the whole fatalistic bitter old jerk thing, since that's pretty much what i'm like some days.

oh yeah, time is definitely a factor! i'm super guilty of blowing through video series on 1,75x speed when i can, 'cos there usually aren't enough hours in the day!

The funny thing is-- and I was pointing this out to my husband.

I have pretty much aged past ALL my favorite characters. Like 10 years ago, I was younger than Raven-- now on this current replaythrough, older. This also happened 11 years ago with Xenogears and Citan Uzuki.

I am still trying to determine how this makes me feel.

that's a thing i won't be dealing with very soon. not because i'm very young, but because my favourite characters include people like granny weatherwax... and various immortal types... ;)

Hey that's a great way! And yes, Granny Weatherwax is pretty amazing!
