(I May Still Be A Bit Not-very-active On Here For Now Because I’m... Still Trying To Figure Out The

I - Inventor - How creative is their thinking? Do they seek out the opinions of others or rely on their own ideas? What’s their problem solving approach?

Sena is creative in specific ways, but I don't think he's creative in general - he might think outside the box during a fight as a survival / practical thing, but wouldn't have the patience for an art project or an elaborate strategy.

For the opinions of others, he actually puts a lot of stock into the opinions of the handful of people he trusts; in a lot of ways he sees himself as existing in relation to them, rather than by himself, and that extends to his antagonist arc where he's alone, lost, and lashing out. But he won't listen to like, strangers' advice without someone he trusts vouching for that stranger.

Problem-solving for him falls into either pragmatism (though not utilitarianism since he really only cares about his friends) or "I can fight it", to varying results. He's actually pretty observant and is quick to notice when things are off - though he could probably point them out a bit more tactfully.

As a bonus, since he curses a lot - most of his more creative curses are stolen from characters like SIdurgu or Estinien, because he has trouble coming up with his own.

If terror is the feeling of dread and apprehension at the possibility of something frightening and horror is the shock and repulsion of seeing the frightening thing, name a time your character has been terrified and a time they were horrified. How did they deal with these emotions? Was the terror, for example, unfounded, or the horror too much?

A time your character was terrified

I make a lot of "Sena's dead boyfriend" jokes, but the moments leading up to that were pretty much exclusively this. He doesn't know where his friend went, anticipates the worst, and then something he's been scared of up to that point actually happens.

For things that happen in-story, he has a few of these, but being left alone in Ultima Thule really freaks him out.

A time they were horrified

THIS ONE WAS ACTUALLY SUPER HARD TO ANSWER.

I want to say the massacre early in ARR, which got to him pretty bad; he starts to come out of being an "I only care about this one person" type edgelord, he starts getting along more with people, and then those people die and he goes right back to that.

Also slightly unusual one, but the combination of dragoon and having issues with his scales makes the conversation with Vrtra deeply unpleasant for him in a way that isn't quite horror, but comes close.

How did they deal with these emotions? Was the terror, for example, unfounded, or the horror too much?

Sena tends to deal with his negative emotions in general by covering them with anger and then not actually dealing with them, but even moreso when he's scared. Him wanting to be strong is an extension of this; he wants to protect his friends, but also, if he can fight it, he has agency in the situation.

Complete silence stops him in his tracks, though.

hollow knight is 50% off on steam right now. about $7.50 USD. for seven dollars you can irreversibly rewire your brain to have hollow knight disease, which is where instead of a brain there is hollow knight

No nuance

Yeahhh I’m taking down my Project Moon stuff, it sucks because it got some traction (!!!) but I don’t really want to be attached to it right now - sorry!

do you read dungeon meshi. have you read dungeon meshi. will you read dungeon meshi. when will you read dungeon meshi

tell me how Sena would react if a friend came to him needing a shoulder to cry on, sobbing!

Depends on how much he likes them! He isn't that good at offering words of support (he tends to be pretty coarse and has his own issues), but can offer a literal shoulder to cry on. He would 100% let someone he cared about cling to him, and offer awkward hugs and headpats.

He would also offer violence against whoever made them feel that way, which is ... not the healthiest outlet, but he would (I can't find the post, but it's along the lines of "kill him" "no!" "then i will kill him for you").

(bonus: the reason he lets people cling to him is because he also wants physical affection when he's upset, though this is still proportional to how much he likes and whether he feels safe around the other person to start with).

it's end of year art summary season again and I would just like to extend my love to all the artists who can't make a standard flashy "one big piece per month" review. if you've got months where you only did small pieces, or didnt finish anything, or didn't draw at all, or didnt draw "good enough". everyone whos left feeling a bit lackluster after comparing their "year of art" to those around them...this one's for YOU! we rule!
