heeeee. i like this meme, it gives me an excuse to babble for far too long about characters i like. :D thanks.
a. it is yamino! what is there not to like? *_* ahahaha, um. his grim expression in reaction to freyr's news in the final malora volume may have had something to do with it. yamino spends a lot of time being comic relief, so that was a strong moment. for my actual first-yamino-fic it was partly the miki shinichirou drabble effort and partly the general sense that there needed to be yamino fic, and if i was going to have to write it myself, so be it...! or something.
b. his devotion to loki? ._. i am fond enough of creepy!yamino fic and i wish i were capable of writing it, but secretly i just want lots of sappy yamino fluff and am unable to write anything except vague loki-related angst. ._.c. he spends a lot of time being comic relief? um -- i haven't actually given much thought to this idea (yet), and i should probably take a look at canon first, but i think that perhaps he's not capable of much general compassion,
( ... )
thank you for such detailed and thoughtful answers!
if i was going to have to write it myself,so be it
which your readers are profoundly grateful for :D
he spends a lot of time being comic relief?
i can't recall much of the manga, though those parts were prolly cut from the anime due to time constraints. in the latter he comes across as being mostly benign (not harmless! but then the anime doesn't give him a chance to display that that little aspect of his personality known as the *World Serpent* :p)
he's not capable of much general compassion, outside his devotion for loki.
spot-on. but then again, he *is* supposed to be a snake, as you say.
i have a rather superficial interpretation of him
i respectfully beg to differ! besides, yamino *is* mostly about his devotion to loki - in canon, anyway.
i still have a maloki fic to write for the alphabet thingy
*awaits* but why are you semi-retiring from fandom in general?
comic relief -- more of a general impression than with reference to specific events, i guess? he comes across as mostly benign in the manga, too.
besides, yamino *is* mostly about his devotion to loki - in canon, anyway. i still wish i could write creepy yamino, though. D: my yamino is all about the loki polite bland niceness
( ... )
thank you for the fic! it feels exactly right for the prompt, and your characterisation is spot-on, as always.
polite-by-default!yamino (as opposed to nice!yamino) is somehow more unsettling.
Yamino's facility with subtleties extends only to the physical senses -- it is one thing to hear or see, and quite another to understand. the comparison to snakes is perfect, of course.
i'm not sure i have much left to say for any of my series. same here. but in my case, i'd be a reader rather than a writer even if i got into any new fandom at all, which is highly unlikely at this point. it's been a productive (and, i hope, good) two years of fic-writing, but i feel all written out, except for prompts/requests.
polite-by-default!yamino i personally wouldn't choose a mix of keigo and polite form as my own default, but i suppose it makes sense for him. :D;;
but in my case, i'd be a reader rather than a writer even if i got into any new fandom at all, which is highly unlikely at this point. ! so you are not likely to be writing much unprompted fic in the future, then? alas. ;_; but i sympathise with the all-written-out feeling. you've certainly been very prolific (and good, yes!) fic-wise, these two years. gosh, has it been that long...
(yes, the latter word is also the prompt)
