Alyx/Atlas

all i have to do is be around a person for a couple hours and i can pretty accurately make their character’s dialogue plausible. a few years and you get me finishing their sentences before they can think about what they were going to say. it’s my own superpower i guess.

going bowling with hax was an experience but to tell you the truth it didn’t change anything about his character bc all he did was reinforce what i already knew about him lol. (which is that he’s a lovely dude who is absolutely winning the idgaf war)

it’s awesome to hear from the hackingnoises enjoyers that i did him justice. i kept having to stop myself and go “would he say that? maybe he would say it but in a different way.”

uhh tl;dr understanding people is the why & how of my reasons for writing. i’ve made other posts about this and finding a middle ground between character and person. i write to understand. so i put a lot of effort into communicating that.

not in the story, no. couri doesn’t drink and i don’t think he’d like me writing him drunk lol. it was just a silly doodle. i could ask him but i don’t drink (much) either so i wouldn’t even know how to write that :,D

hello!! welcome to my glorified piece of scratch paper. i love asks & i love talking about my fics :D thank you for asking!!

i’m not quite sure what you mean, but the recurring theme between fein and couri in my work is something like this:

best friends that also despise each other and delight in getting on each other’s nerves. they also hold a kind of immense respect for one another that is frustratingly unique to their relationship and cannot be replicated with any other person in their lives, so they’re always cosmically drawn to each other because fate has a twisted sense of humor and thinks it’s hilarious to give them problems they need the other to help them solve.

they make each other worse and then, gradually, they make each other better.

Meta-phore — Chapter One: A Decision

“You died?” Rocky screeched. The computer translated it with much less urgency than Rocky’s native language. “Grace died? But Grace right here. Humans only die once. Grace said that.”

“Rocky!” Grace’s voice echoed in the small atmosphere. “Rock, calm down. I didn’t mean it literally. It’s a meta-phore.”

hax can’t even be serious when revealing his career-ending secret to a stranger

it’s still you.
