@21308 Like I said, to see my sister, it's worth it. Thanks for trying to cheer me up, Spinna. I'm usually not a pessimistic person but I was focusing quite a bit on the negatives just because of how much I hate simply being in cars, nevermind overnight, and though the journey matters more than the destination, I don't like where we're going, either. But I do get to see my sister, and that's enough for me. It's a little silly to feel this way over it, I guess. Thank you. ' w '

@21308 Just my sister. And I've seen less of her than ever this year. I want to say that I've managed well without her when for a long time she was the only person I ever really trusted and felt close to and truly safe around and loved, and I really think I did, but I really wish sometimes that she hadn't moved. I know it was better for her and it was her choice and I respect that, but I just wish she'd have been there with me longer. Or at least moved somewhere close enough so that we wouldn't be in a car overnight to have to see her Nonetheless, I'm happy to see her, but road trips make me feel as if I'm possessed by the devil or something, I begin to become unaware of what I'm saying around the four-five hour mark and zone out and if someone talks to me it's never good. And then when I'm aware I realise I've made people try and suddenly I'm crying too and there's migraines and the fact that I have to sit still for so long and the loudness of the large cities and my parent's reluctance to plan ahead or research where the hell to go just...I don't look forward to them. To see me sister though, it's worth it.

@21308 Being dragged off so that mother can support animal abuse while I wander around the busy tourist filled streets of a place even louder than where I currently live with my sister (who I'll finally be seeing again after forever) and hopefully my brother since they care enough to not go, wondering if my bird is doing alright while I'm gone and wishing I could sit down and draw something without being trampled by people or having curious eyes peer.

@Akayaofthemoon And that's another thing about characters. Like people, they grow. I like doing personality sheets because that way I sort of have a 'this is where I start and seeing this in front of me I know I put a significant amount of thought beforehand' but I always intend for characters to deviate.

@Raijinslayer I hope I don't mean to sound impatient because I'm not trying to press you to do this, especially since I probably won't be able to reply anytime soon anyways, but I just wanted to let you know that Eve's post is up, so if you want to edit and can do so without school getting in the way to fit according, you can do that. Doesn't have to be now or anytime soon, as I mentioned. ' v ' "

Also, I'm sorry that I'll be stalling my end for possibly three days. Orz

@Akayaofthemoon What Raijin said. We feel can empathy, sympathy, apathy even antipathy towards characters just as we do real people, and once you begin to dedicate yourself towards them they begin to do things that surprise you or you didn't intend, as if they had their own free will that you cannot control. In a way, they are their own people. That's one of the reasons why writing a good character is so powerful, why we'll read something that's crap as long as there's one character we care for. They're someone above being simple tools like a plot, even if we do view them that way from a technical sense. I really do think that, in a strange way, they are their own people.

@Raijinslayer Bwah, I almost forgot. > . < I was aware of that but it slipped my mind.

@Akayaofthemoon They really need a light, fluffy break eventually.
