#so vash treats him like a friend. bc it's vash and he was lonely and midvalley is fun to annoy.

I think im gonna cave & tag Midvalley in my fanfiction

I still don't know just how longterm he'll be around (it'll depend on how things shake out & whether he ends up liking Vash enough to stick around) but Even Tho he's mostly been long-distance present, he's been important to the story and So It Shall Remain for at least a while.

So. Midvalley 4th most major character I guess?

#speculation nation #itnl shit #i hesitate mainly bc A: i hate it when ppl tag brief appearances of characters in longfic #bc lovers of those characters arent gonna wanna read a giant thing for one lil blip ykno? #so i only tag characters if they have a genuine solid role in my stories. brief appearances dont matter. #also B: i still feel like im kinda butchering his character hfkshfjd and im scared of actual midvalley fans judging #im growing to appreciate him more and more. but the fact remains that i never paid him much mind b4 deciding to add him #i was just like 'this sure is a role he would perfectly fill' and i reread his sections to get a feel for him #i think i did an okay job with his first appearance but im scared of reducing him to just Grumpy Not-Friend to vash #in that him and vash have been talking for years & it's ultimately the most constructive socialization they both get #during that time. #so vash treats him like a friend. bc it's vash and he was lonely and midvalley is fun to annoy. #and midvalley ends up kinda forgetting who vash sometimes. but then he remembers & it's Awful #im trying to do him justice. and i'll be able to stretch my legs more once he's physically showing up again. #i swear im thinking about it and trying to stick to a proper characterization! #worse than a minor character not showing up in a fic is a minor character showing up Wrong. #i dont wanna do that to midvalley lovers. and thus the hesitation. #but. But . i think his role is major enough that it's worth tagging. and so. i think i will. #tagging b4 meryl and milly bc i like having the tags be ordered by relevance & chronological appearance #relevance for the first few Definitely. most important characters up first. #and then latter characters by appearance. just works that way. #is midvalley more important to the story than meryl and milly? Well... kinda yeah. #in terms of having a role no one else can fulfill. which will have major effects on the overall story? Yeah. #so. i should tag him. im gonna tag him. just. Ugh. the Anxieties...
