BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, BLISS has two volumes scanlated. Go read my canon. Once you do that, you can come back and read this. WEAR YOUR SPOILER GOGGLES.

RANT ON FON'S ABILITIES AND CHARACTERIZATION AHEAD. BEWARE: IT'S LONG )

I DON'T KNOW THAT ALL SOUNDS PRETTY ON TO ME? I mean, you're playing in camp to explore aspects that wouldn't pop up in canon. . . Because then you would just read the canon and be done with it! If you get what I'm saying.

And he kind of terribly is a Sue in a canon full of normals, etc etc. Let us not nitpick vernacular especially when it's lolz-words at that.

Mostly, I want to say that we should threaaad. . . YES.

OBJECTIVELY, if anyone came over to me and told me "THIS IS THE PROTAGONIST OF MY NOVEL" and gave me Fon's description. I'd probably lol. I mean, I love the kid he's an awesome character, but yeah, total Sue.

And I just got all /o\ because I never really thought of explaining where I'm coming from. The anon never came back and never really stated concerns beyond "I THINK YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT" which was too general and didn't give me anything to address. THUS A GENERAL EXPLANATION WAS IN ORDER.

And yes, we should because Fon likes Ashe a lot ♥

Unless they come back with specifics? I would handwave it. It's good to get crit, but it's not good to worry too much over it. You've seem pretty solid with him from what I've seen and recall of that hasty read-over of the canon.

. . . Yeah, I'm definitely doing my full de-hiatus tomorrow. :')

I dunno, the internet description of "Mary Sue" is pretty accurate with Fon, I don't think that counts as bad characterization when it... ... well it isn't. It's not something he can help being, anyway. No point giving him flaws that aren't there.

I hope I'm not doing a bad job? I mean, I would expect people to tell me I suck if I did ;o;

I do have a lot less canon with him than I'm used to having, but I think I'm mostly getting him right. And magical unicorn skills aside, I think he's a very three-dimensional character.

I always need a better draping icon with this account, but yeah, I think you're doing a good job with him :|a I mean, i was interested enough to read his canon, so that's something?

I think the art being very pretty helped with that.

Having a fondness for Mary Sues (*coughcough*), I will have to agree that Fon does seem to meet the description, but I also think he's played in a way that makes him interesting and uses however much of canon you know so far.

I am going to watch R2 and cry forever. JUST YOU WATCH.

Thank you, he has flaws and he's a great character, but I couldn't say he's Not a Sue with a straight face.

R2 is full of PAIN and MORE PAIN. B-But if you see past the frequent moments of fail, it has some great stuff. |Db

do u liek me y/n

I MEAN--

Having read up to uhhhhh . . . chapter 12 of the series (I need to catch upppp), I can say that so far, I think you're doing an awesome job. You've got the serious and crazy and fail all nailed down pretty well.

If you can get me the raws, I could probably do some summarizing. (Hopefully there's furigana.)
