//eww gilgamesh

Eyes were still dazed from sleep as she was woken in the middle of the night. Slowly, she moves to sit up, rubbing at her eyes. “Mmm...?” She says with a tug at her vocal chords. As soon as he says why he’s here, she wakes up more. She feels a bit of guilt for him seeing her in such a disheveled state, but that was quickly pushed aside.

When somebody, the songstress could not remember who it was, suggested summoning a ghost or two in the light of the holiday just for the sake of entertainment, it was met with mixed feelings. The word spread like wildfire in a matter of an hour: some found the idea amusing, while others were concerned, to say the least. Clearly, Kiran was not particularly eager to put his bravery to the test tonight by taking part in questionably harmless activities. A year ago, perhaps, she would try to reason with him, tell him that it was but a joke. But she couldn’t. Not after everything they’d gone through.

❛   YOU  WON’T  TAKE  ME  TO  SEE  HER ?  then  will  you  at  least  tell  me  this ,  kiran :  how  different  is  the  veronica  your  world  has  from  me ?   ❜

Confess???

//I like the color palette you decided on, particularly the bright red. They reall make your design stand out against the ones we get in FEH.

(Thank you! I’ve actually thought about making the outfit blue instead of red, though I wanted to use the color scheme I used last year.~ And I thought about tweaking my design a little bit compared to last year’s, but most of it is the same.)

This particular feat is made all the MORE difficult for muses like yours and mine because they technically DO exist within the aforementioned consensus, but are inherently designed to have different, but also equally viable, interpretations to them depending on who’s observing them and how they’re observing the world around them in turn. Meaning that they’re actually both canon and not canon at the same time, existing as a sort of memetic version of Schrodinger’s Cat. This leads to everyone having different opinions on who/what these characters should be ultimately, and thus causes them to view everyone else’s opinions on that character with some indifference or disdain in the worst cases.

But even with all that being said, you chose to create Megan all the same. And while that act alone is something that deserves even just a modicum of admiration for the kind of resolve it took, what deserves more admiration, what deserves true respect, is the amount of time, energry, and overall dedication it required to build her up to what she is today.

As you know, I’ve only just recently started following this myself. but what you might NOT know, is that I’ve been seeing it popping up on my dash for quite a while now. About… a year or so I believe? Maybe just above six months, I can’t exactly recall. At any rate, I’ve been seeing Megan around here and there for a large period of time. I couldn’t tell you through which blogs owing to the greater number of them that there have been, but I do know that when I finally elected to click on your username at the appearance of a new thread on my dashboard I was practically floored.

I’m honestly not sure how to adequately express to you how impressed I was with what I saw without going into finer detail, but it was so plain, even from a glance, that you put so much effort into every aspect of your blog. You had your own art, your own icons, your own edits, your pages were so detailed and tidy that I just could not even believe it! For Pete’s sake, you even had a SECOND blog about Megan that apparently expanded upon the reincarnation aspects of the Fire Emblem Avatars! I mean, I had a Robin blog and Corrin blog at one point, but I didn’t even think to take them to the kind of levels you did!

(By the way, the Megan cinematic universe is when now?)

It was just all so…overwhelming. And obviously, I’m not the only one who thinks so. There are so many other people who appreciate your work, so many respected roleplayers who are practically lining up at the corners for the chance to start a thread with you. In fact, I don’t think it would be too much of an exaggeration to say that some people prefer Megan over Corrin. And if that ALONE isn’t the mark of an excellent roleplayer then I honestly don’t know what else is. Never mind all the other positive traits I’ve already listed.

As I’m writing all of this out to you now, I would like to stress that I didn’t originally intend for it to turn out to be this big or mooshy. I just saw that little heart meme pop up on the dash, and what was essentially meant to be a short reply telling you how cool I think you and your muse are, evolved into a small essay detailing the technical points of roleplaying and how you exemplify some of the best things about them. Because, honestly, I think it HAD to.

You and Megan BOTH are inspiring. A pair of role-models for roleplaying as a whole, and a stellar example for what self-created muses are capable of when they’re expressed passionately by the ones who made them. Something that I feel even more strongly to be true, now that I’ve had the chance to reflect upon it by making this. I really look forward to seeing how you continue to grow and hope that if nothing else, that I can at least reach the levels you’re currently at myself.
