You wouldn't. This is a new journal. <3 We were together at Salkia, I believe. I played my Ciel off of your Yoite. Though I've really tried to improve my Ciel since then. You were always awesome. ;;
I've noticed that Sora has now been in Paradisa for a full year, and I'd like to address a couple of concerns I have with you. I'll say first off that I don't know the canon, and thus these aren't characterisation issues per se.
While I know that Sora is frail and has had a terribly traumatic life, I find it a little hard to believe that after a full year of tender care and good meals he is still falling over if he stands up for too long. A year is more than enough time to build muscle mass and body fat, so even if he was still timid, there should be no reason he is still frail.
I don't claim to be an expert on child psychology, far from it, especially those who have been abused so dreadfully. But I can't say that I've seen any improvement in Sora's trust or confidence, despite having a loving family and friends for a full year reaffirming his safety and affection. I don't think he should be Smiler McGee, as he has had a lot of trauma and that doesn't fade entirely, but perhaps a little improvement might be nice to see

Thanks so much for your concerns. I have the feeling this is coming from the minds of several, so thank you so much for speaking to me about it

I appreciate what you've said about stress exacerbating the conditions that he will have been left with from malnutrition. However, if after a year he has undergone so much stress as to completely cancel out the good work of Jilly, Lilith, Abel, etc. then that is far too much stress to be putting him under.
It's good that you recognise that you need to take a step back from traumatising him for the sake of his CR; and I'll probably link this crit to his immediate CR so they can be assured of that as well.
I'm not saying he's a burden or a problem, but I don't remember seeing a happy post with him at all. He's got a loving family now, and maybe it might be nice for that CR (not especially myself, as we don't interact often) to have interactions that are not all wholly heartbreaking for one reason or another.
The last three I've done have been trying to be on the mellower side of things. I put him on the silly...uh... Inception Zero-Gravity loss, he spent most of the spring festival frolicking, making daisy chains, baking and being otherwise content. But many of those are lurking in comments or hiding. Perhaps it's that he's just more vocal/me posting more often when distressing things are happening? It's still my fault either way, but I do have him post cheerful things from time to time. It's no excuse for what I've done to his family, who deserves a nobel prize reward for seeing their hard work getting somewhere with caring for him

I really want to join a game with you, but I'm terribly shy in big games;;; Yukimi would be so disappointed in me.

I adore you Yukimi like hnngh woah etc.
I'm not adverse to one-on-one RP with him if you'd like...? Through IM or summat?

Thanks for listening and taking this on board.
