too smart vs too stupid

luna_rainbowCan I just say that....
Sometimes it's annoying writing a character who's clever? =______=;;;;;;
I know, I know, I stopped writing Rowan's story because I found him too dumb. Am I going to stop writing Vivant's story because I'm finding him too smart? Orz
I'm nearly done with the part just before they reach Averron. What was originally meant to be Terethise-centric turned so Rossaer-centric I had to rename the file ==;;;;
Thanks to Vivant's smartassness, there was at least one major change and many minor changes to what I originally envisioned.
I was originally going to have Vivant kill Rossaer's beast because he thought Rossaer went and blabbermouthed something to some people, but nooooooooo, he had to realise Rossaer didn't do it, and so I had to make up some other reason for him killing Rossaer's beast! ** (Hey, don't talk about it as though you didn't write him that way ==;) (**Actually, that reason always existed so it wasn't that I had to pull something out of my ass, so to speak ==;)
Arrrgh, now Vivant's and Rossaer's relationship has totally walked into the "It's Complicated" territory. I mean it's all very well with Rowan and Sigmund in their own complicated way, but at least that was in third person. I suspect Vivant doesn't even know how he feels about Rossaer half the time, although I could say the same for how Vivant feels about any other character at that particular point in the plot. It was a time of turmoil and change =v=
In fact, Rossaer is starting to remind me of Sigmund, which is...I don't know how that happened considering they started off so far apart (but now, come to think of it, they do have similarities in their upbringing --;;;; argh). Fortunately, Vivant is not reminding me of Rowan, but I haven't written the first bit of their time together and I suspect Vivant is much more Rowan-like-submissive in the beginning, out of requirement ==;
Rossaer's nowhere near as vulnerable as Sigmund, even though I think he's been through worse than what Sigmund has (yes...). I think the difference is he's partially at fault and he's invited much of what happened to him. Though he's in the perfect position to say "but I had no choice", he doesn't, because he knows he had made a choice to live, whatever the means. He's also not cold and tsundere like Sigmund...instead of keeping his emotions bottled up, he's more of the unsympathetic kind who cares very little for others, even at his best. I don't think he ever comes to see Vivant like Sigmund does Rowan, as an obligation or as someone he needs to protect.
