mmm, ripping

I've finished writing the bit before Vivant gets to Averron...at least the bits that involve Rossaer. There's actually two other important chunks I haven't written, one is with Fuukou and the other with Kordaan, and I won't get to that until, most likely, when I actually write up to that bit.

I must say...the Rossaer-centric bits were immensely satisfying =D I am so sick of writing submissive characters, wahahahaha! To have Vivant get his claws out and really tear into people is............so immensely satisfying =D

Rossaer is actually becoming extremely like what Sigmund was to Rowan ==;;; He really needles Vivant to the edge and back. No one else drags Vivant out from behind his mask as Rossaer does, and I think he really brings out the nastiest side of Vivant...which is not to say that Sigmund brings out the nastiest side in Rowan, although he does push Rowan to the edge and he does make Rowan come out of his shell.

On the other hand, Sigmund was very different to Rowan, and very protective...or dutiful in protecting Rowan. I think...I think Rossaer and Vivant are very similar to each other ||||||Orz Oh, Rossaer's nowhere near as good-natured as Vivant, but I think the two of them are matched in intellect and cynicism. But this is coming on the heels of Vivant and Neillan being rather similar to each other and...oh well ==; I don't think Rossaer's anything like Neillan, so there must be some degree of separation somewhere.

I actually have no idea now how to finish off Rossaer's story. I would rather not kill him, but at the same time I can't imagine him living on to a ripe old age =0=;;;;;; For the record, I can imagine Kamaeh at a ripe old age, so hah! (I can also imagine Giras at a ripe old age, but let's not dwell on that...)

Rossaer was meant to go bravely to his death at some point, but now...his existence is like Sigmund ==; Vivant would be so much harder to develop without him. I think, also, that I'm feeling way too sorry for Vivant and so I'm adding all these characters who would make his life.......better. I wonder if I should stop ==;; But then all these characters who stay on are so........cool XDDDD

It's terrible when an author has favourites, because then one can't resist giving that character more time, and it shouldn't work that way ==;

But I kind of wish that Vivant and Rossaer could have had more time with each other. They're such a fun pair to write, in the "oh, there they go trying to kill each other again" way XDDDDDDD
