Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #2: πͺπ
Added 2024-07-14 12:30:03 +0000 UTCThis is how I feel while writing some of A. Corvin's more contentious remarks for the MC:
[Alternate Text: A GIF of a woman in a soccer (football, this sport:β½π₯ ) jersey covering her face with her hands due to mild nerves, except she then peeks, possibly too intrigued by what's going on.]
Because some of their banter gets intense, but it's also interesting to write that friction!
It can create a whiplash effect in me when going between the differing relationship dynamics the MC has with this character. We'll have A being excited and so eager to talk and then them dragging their feet and making snippy remarks. (To be fair, the MC tends to match that energy. π) There is one zinger, an absolute menace of a comment, during the Corvin dinner section that I'm keen on you discovering. I'll only tease it by saying A didn't need to go so low, but they're feeling things from having the MC back in their home after this long absence. π (They aren't the only one.) It's a line that I hope makes you as the reader go: ow.
(It also shows what's fueling some of that tension in the negative dynamic: A's care for J.)
I can tease a line a few of you may trigger in this month's upcoming alpha drop:
"I might actually be better off if you shoot the messenger," A darkly observes, pausing with the front tire of their bicycle ready to meet the pavement.

It's hard to intentionally go for a bad relationship with A, but may be interesting for a stoic MC

My favorite dynamic Iβve played so far is the JR poly with a strained or negative relationship with A. I imagine the βkill the messengerβ sentiment is gonna be even stronger when that particular MC AND R. Verner show up to their house for dinner. π€π

2024-07-14 16:52:53 +0000 UTCahhhh, Jam and A are slowly getting to a better relationship, not sure if I'll see the most vicious A, but I'm curious. The thought of it makes me feel bad for J too - running interference between their sibling and bestie (just like childhood). π«Ά
