Thinking about "Aster Came Back Wrong" again and there's so many possible ways that it could go.
Is he a little less kind, a little less compassionate, a little more casual about harm, a little looser with ethics and morals? A little sadistic, maybe?
The demons having twisted him into some more cruel version of himself?
Is he, perhaps, more jumpy? Shying away from touch when he would have welcomed it in the past, struggling to connect to others and remember his Courage? Fearing things others cannot hear or see?
Does he struggle to re-adjust to being embodied after the time he spent as a bodiless spirit?
How wrong did he come back, "Aster but just a little to the left" or "this Thing wears his skin, but that is not Aster looking out from behind his eyes"?
You can call me Ria!! I love tales of symphonia dawn of the new world, my faves are Richter Abend, Emil Castagnier, but I also love Aster Laker and Ratatosk 🥰🥰🥰
If you are a Dawn of the new world fan, PLEASE follow me!! I’d really appreciate it since I need people who are still part of this fanbase to interact!!
one of the first conversations ive ever had with my coworker was about how cool she thinks it is how much testosterone can change bodies & how much she loves gender neutral names & etc & i really wish i had more shifts alone with her to find out what did she mean by that
I think that at least once Richter has probably had to stop Aster from licking, biting, ingesting, or otherwise putting something ill-advised in his mouth in an attempt to identify it.
Aster feels to me like the sort to lick a mystery powder and realize it's a drug or something.
