"if you can't tell your dreams from your reality, maybe this is your dream"

So, I've still got a few things that need to be wrapped up via e-mail, but otherwise I've got a couple of weeks of vacation now. And it is glorious. ...Though I didn't have a heart to tell someone who is basically my mentor/father-figure at work when he asked that I am going to celebrate getting some vacation time by trying to come up with a witty

[yo_san]

Let it be known I entered chat of my own free will, independently of seeing this comment.

But, hmm, such a radical reinterpretation of Rodyle's character as suggested before the edit is intreguing! I will have to reconsider my stance on his character.

RE: Haruhi-

1) Yes Kyon is very obviously with feelings for Haruhi he's in neigh-constant denial of. After Disappearance (book 4) especially it is almost impossible for you to deny this. A lot of people have issues with this ship and I don't see why, it's a generic and I myself don't find it terribly interesting, but alas. It's only moderately popular in fandom, but it's impossible to ICly play Haruhi without making her crush hard on Kyon, so a Kyon who wasn't cool with that would be very off-putting to me as a Suzumiya player.

Though to be fair most of his feelings for Haruhi are also in association with his feelings for the Brigade as a group of friends. He merely puts the most value on Haruhi when push comes to shove in practice

1) I'd have issues to play it out largely because I'm not sure why Kyon would like Haruhi back when I imagine his feelings started, in which I feel that Haruhi was a big jerk. ...Well, I can think of a few reasons, but they aren't things that make sense to me personally. I mean, the reasons I can think of make sense, just ones that I wouldn't find to be enough even if I can understand someone else feeling were enough. I don't really have any issues with it as something to watch, even if I'm not interested in it myself--it's just something I wouldn't be able to do convincingly. This probably ties in partially due to the fact that I don't know how convincingly I could play out romance in general

[saltprince]

1) I can see it. For one she's gorgeous and for two she's everything he ever wanted even if he denied he wanted it. She's energetic, social, outgoing (all far more so than him), makes his life interesting, motivates him (something that no one else in the series can really do, including Mikuru), and generally adds something to his life that he wouldn't otherwise have. On top of that she's cute, smart, and funny. Even the bad parts of her personality (and there are a lot of them) for the most part aren't things overtly horrible so much as just a flawed world outlook and a tad of emotional distance from people which leads to things like possessive ownership with Mikuru (which leads to said molestation that he lets slide

1) /blows off gunsmoke

Well, I agree with pretty much all of your reasons (though I'm not actually remembering anything where I'd count Haruhi as "funny" but it's probably because I haven't read it since last summer, probably). I guess I just tend to see her...I'd call it bratty, personally, way of getting her own way with not much empathy first, though it does get a lot better as time goes on. And that kind of slows me down when it comes to seeing her attractive points. Then again, I don't value the same things Kyon does and that probably slows me from seeing it in the same way.

5) Well, that's even stronger than I remembered (it's been a while). Granted, I tend to be unsure how much of what Itsuki says at face value, but I think I'd feel reasonably confident in thinking at least some of that is true.

Huh. We have a bit of weird crossover here. Weird crossover in that I'vve played Harriet, Ayame, and Arietta all at some point.

[yo_san]

Huh. I guess we have some similar tastes in RP characters, then! I think I knew about you playing Arietta and I definitely knew about Harriet, but I don't think I knew about Ayame.
