This is kind of a drop meme! Spoilers: Kino, Akito, Kumar, and Michiru are totes safe.
Whiiich leaves me with Takanari and Ashe! To start off, I've gotten my finances straightened out, so I'm not too plussed about paying for accounts and so on which is great. (Pro-tip: Don't set it up so all your accounts expire at the same time.) After that, I'm also really okay with the number of characters I'm at! Eight was unreasonable, six is livable, and four is my comfort-zone. Balance is an illusion, but as long as I think I'm getting people out reasonably often enough, then I'm golden. If I don't think that, then I can do a quick-check on my numbers which always shows that I am very mistaken when I think someone hasn't gotten out. Now, for the actual trouble-makers!
Takanari
Damn, I love this kid. The canon is silly and ridiculous, and all the characters are completely amazing. I've had the best canonmates with him ever, too, so shout-outs to everyone in the past and present Shinshi cast. Really, I can't complain except for my lack of a Touya, just saying. Anyway, I've had him for awhile now! I can remember all the ups and downs, but it has been a great ride! Now, I know everyone is going, "BUT TAKANARI HAINE JUST DROPPED! CLEARLY, YOU ARE JUST REACTING TO THAT!" . . . Sorry, but I'm laughing at you. No, no, I actually started making some new icons and such once that happened. I learned very early on not to play Takanari co-dependently! And he's not a super co-dependent character, either! He loves Haine a lot, and he is bummed by her getting to leave without him. But he's also happy that she's back with everyone back home, and it's okay if he's stuck in camp for awhile longer, etc.
No, the real problem is that. . . I forgot who I play him with! I realized last week that I sort of skipped over playing out the baaaw sooob drama of Haine leaving, and, well, that's because I didn't know where to go with that. :'D Now, I say I forgot, but I have a faint inkling except I let a lot of those relationships wither on the vine and so on. I could jump-start the kid by being smacked to play him with his old buddies and get on top of making new ones! I mean, I finally paid his account because I wanted to play with Kon! So, the desire is there. . . But not the energy, it seems. Honestly, I'm not sure which way this kid is going to fall, but if anyone wants to smack me around to do stuff, then do it! I am actually pretty good at doing one-eighties when it comes to drop thoughts, and, well, I love this kid a lot, guhhh.
Ashe
Ashe, Ashe. . . Aaashe! So, I've always had my weird bouts with Ashe! She's a character after my own heart, because I have a not-so-secret love of kickass females. Always have, always will! Truly, I tend not to app those kinds of characters, because I love them too much to touch them, if that makes sense. The periods of doubt with Ashe have probably been due to my loving her a lot as a character as opposed to playing her! But I've managed to do it for over a year, so kudos to me and my stress tolerance. Admittedly, it feels like I'm in another bad time with her, because I can't help feeling off with everything I do. Her most recent post exacerbated it to an extreme. Unfortunately, a canon review isn't what's going to fix this. . . Because I just finished playing the game for over a hundred hours last month, uh! So, my love of the game is rekindled, but it didn't put me on steadier feet with Ashe.
Now, I've got a better idea of where Ashe should go and who she talks with than I do with Takanari, but it doesn't change the fact that there isn't really anything to do. Camp is too laid-back, and Ashe does her best to be actively involved in managing it to a degree. She even has an idea why she belongs in camp and is not as put-upon with having to remain there as long as time isn't flowing back home! But these things aren't going to resolve general feelings off. I feel really bad about this going on when the cast is booming with new blood, but Ashe isn't the close type and I'm usually out in left-field, anyway. So, I have exactly no clue about what to do! What I do know is that I am not giving up on her yet for fear of someone else apping her, because I realize this could easily happen right now! And my feelings at the moment on that is it can happen over my dead grave. ♥
