[quote=Fallenreaper] I'll start backing mine up from now on...*looks guilty* [/quote] Shame on you! Tsk, tsk! :gray By the way [b]Fallen[/b], I have the next bit of the post up. Don't mind my OOC monologue at the end. I've started storing most of the posts, and I'll definitely continue to. I think I have some sort of attachment anxiety to our RP now. I'm so afraid we'll lose everything again, and I just got over mourning the old IC. This is too much stress for me. On a totally random note: I just need to take a moment to be weirdly emotional and say how I've grown to care for most of our characters. I can't read Simon's thoughts about Winifred without feeling genuine guilt knowing Winifred doesn't think the same about him. She's a part of his motivation to fight and survive - a beacon of hope, and yet she has a bunch of other people that keep her going, none of them being Simon. She doesn't know he thinks that way about her and vice-versa. That all honestly makes me feel like a right ass for not having Winifred fall in love with him from the start. Not because I want a happy ending for Winifred, but because Simon deserves one and I don't think Winifred could ever properly provide that. It makes me dislike Winifred a bit, to be honest, and I'm contemplating changing what I had planned for her because I care more about Simon than I do Win. I don't think I'd be satisfied with the type of ending where they both admit their undying love for one another and officially become Winimon (sounds like a Digimon), but at the same time, I feel sorry for Simon. I really do... even though he's not a real person. Totally not trying to discourage you, Shon. You already know how I feel about their future and I love what we discussed on it (and I'm definitely not going back on our ideas). And I definitely don't want you to change anything about it. I just wanted you to know I absolutely love Simon and how his character actually resonates with me. Keep up the thought-provoking work, you talented artist, you.
