QUOTES : "Oh no”
MUN QUESTIONS.
Q1 : If you could write your character your way in their own movie, what would it be called, what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?
A1 : It would probably just be Mulholland Drive but everyone has rabbit ears
Q2 : What would their soundtrack/score sound like?
A2 : Dreamy and melanchol, like The Duke of Burgundy’s OST if it sounded less sinister
Q3 : Why did you start writing this character?
A3 : Because when viera came out I knew exactly what I wanted my viera to be--a physically strong, emotionally stable badass warrior lady who doesn’t afraid of anything--so naturally she became the exact opposite of that because at all times my subconscious is trying to sabotage me
Q4 : What first attracted you to this character?
A4 : My grubby little gay hands wrapping around Final Fantasy Tactics Advance in 2003 and seeing a viera for the first time. Also, my grubby little 1999 gay brain struggling to comprehend why I thought Ultimecia was so hot
Q5 : Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.
A5 : Sometimes writing her is stressful because I channel my own past experiences with depression and anxiety a little too hard I think. Also her overarching themes I want to eventually bring out via RP storylines are so ambitious and complicated that I feel entirely too stupid to write it well so I’m always at least a little bit stressed about that
Q6 : What do you have in common with your muse?
A6 : Crippling depression lmao
Q7 : How does your muse feel about you?
A7 : She’d probably not even acknowledge my existence because I’m a human and what good is that
Q8 : What characters does your muse have interesting interactions with ?
A8 : I feel like Pjel and Aja are the obvious choice so I feel a little shitty saying Pjel and Aja, but...I really love playing Lofn off both of them, I feel like they perfectly compliment different parts of her personality that I really enjoy writing (mainly her pettiness and her gayness) and I feel like Lofn also prods at both of their insecurities just by being her terrible self, and it’s fun for me to watch them squirm lol
Q9 : What gives you inspiration to write your muse ?
A9 : Um, premenstrual syndrome?? Lmao but for real if I’m struggling I’ll just go watch some Gentleman Jack (Lofn is literally Ann Walker, sorry) or listen to some FF8/FF9 music, or dick around in FF12 for a bit. Basically I identify a handful of loose inspirational touchstones for a character and fuck around with all of them until inspiration strikes
Q10 : How long did this take you to complete ?
A10 : About a week, off and on...
