This? This is my desperate attempt to talk myself out of dropping. The following is long and rambling.

I <3 Ken and his screwed up relationships. ♥

Also, clearly Cher needs to give him massive piles of hug therapy.

Don't drop, like, ever, kthxbai.

P.S. Did you see how Australia topped Japan in the World Cup?

Ken is screwed up. Period. The only introspection he ever does is wrapped up in self-hatred, and that makes it not good for anyone. Ever. Just.. lots of not good.

I don't want to drop. But I'm not happy with the impression people are getting of Ken. I'm going to try and fix it, instead.

P.S. Yes, I was watching that game at work! Your country tops my character's.

I have watched 3 episodes of Weiss! And the download stopped 60% into the 4th episode because of my stupid internet connection.

Fixing it when you think people aren't seeing it the way you want them to - always a good idea.

OMG, such a great game! Come from behind toward the end. And all the soccer players were hot.

*resuming!*

I'll probably player emo a bit more and then be ridiculously twitchy about his interactions for awhile.

I know, I was watching it at work, I must've looked like a dork cheering silently.

Not that I haven't already told you this, but don't drop, dammit, you're awesome. XD

I like this essay; it summed up what's going on with Ken very well IMO and tallies with my own observations. Your analysis is apt and follows easily from what I know of your canon and from reasonable extrapolations thereof; I can find no flaw with it. In conclusion, <4.

...er, in conclusion, lessthan4. Because I forget HTML exists. *headdesk*

In a nutshell: I love reading Ken's threads and would be a sad vampiric revolutionary if you dropped. ^_^

If it is the right decision for you, then it is, but I know that while I hadn't quite known what to expect from Ken from what I've seen of WK and its fandom, your Ken is incredibly likeable and human, so if this is stemming from playing doubts of any kind, then I wouldn't say it's for the right reason~.

hidaka_ken June 13 2006, 03:42:29 UTC

This is stemming entirely from player emo. And my worries of the impression people are getting of Ken based on his relationship issues. Maybe essaying will make things a little clearer...

Oh, camp relationships. Good times. Given Ken's penchant for forming relationships rather quickly, I think you've been doing a great job at navigating through the maze that is Camp Relationships. (Given that one of my characters is married to his country and the other canonically keeps people at a distance because he's a bit of a power-tripper lolz, I have it rather easy.)

Your essays have been both quite interesting and helpful, though, just have to say. It's always nice to have that added dimension of canon backstory/basis, when it's available, as well as getting a glimpse into the working of a mun's mind. ^_^

The Weiss boys are all so desperately in need of love. It's a mess no matter which way you try and deal with it.

Thanks, about the essays. I'm just glad that someone's been reading them, since I try to justify his non-obvious actions through essaying. ♥

Ken doesn't deal with relationships well. People caring about him, in general, is a little on the brain-breaking-oh-shit-what-now? side. He makes Yuriko cry, and runs off in confusion a couple times.

I tend to just try and write Ken in character, but the fact is he does get himself into messes relationshipwise. If Yuriko hadn't decided to move to Australia with or without him, I'm pretty sure he'd still be spinning in circles and panicking and emoing. And this isn't coming across properly in game, so in an effort to convince myself I haven't completely destroyed him, I essay! Thank you for reading.
