The Aetolian Confessionals

I spend 8 hours a day doing this at work.

I don't do this quite as much but when it gets slow I daydream about Aet and conversations/interactions that may or may not ever actually happen.

This isn't so much an Aetolian confession as one of my own that relates to Aetolia: I do the daydreaming about conversations/interactions thing. With every single situation ever, in real life or in Aetolia. If I'm quiet, there is likely some form of dialogue running through my mind.

Daingean is so levelheaded and careful about what he does/says - outside of specially allotted time for 'social interaction' where he blatantly tries to be 'more like the impulsive masses' - that the 'W.W.D.D.' approach to my real life has actually improved many situations. I constantly wonder what Dain would do in game situations that have yet to arise. I feel that's only fair, since he so often comes into my real life now, as a little ginger self-help guru.

I think my character is wildly opposite from me. I could probably benefit from being more like her, but I prefer being quiet and shy and neurotically introverted!

Draiman · February 2014

Every time I see a new post in the Sparring Grounds I secretly wish it blows up into 40 page rant about how OP Luminaries are.

What is this, 2005?

Cannan · February 2014

I like to think that Cannan is a lot like me if I were less of a private person and more outgoing. I refuse to use the word "introvert" to describe myself, since its often used as an excuse to not develop any social skills, but I can come off as very grave or quiet to people that don't know me. You'd never know that I swear enough in everyday conversation to make an angry sailor blush, for example. Cannan though? That's par for the course.

I really hate writing descriptions. Like, really. I have all these aspirations for becoming a crafter, to the point where I've got a folder of IDEAS of little pieces I'd like to design, but they've never come to fruition because I keep avoiding it. The one piece I HAVE written out fully has yet to be made because I lost a few lines of it and can't bring myself to rewrite it. All thanks go to Moirean for patiently waiting for me to resend it to her. One day soon, I promise.

Cannan's "crazy blind mother and/or lover" back story has been a part of almost every character I've played since beginning Aetolia. It's a combination of an uncomfortable obsession with House of Leaves and my very first character's very first love interest. It's only now, years later, that I have the writing ability and literary backing to be able to flesh it out fully. I don't like to think of it as unoriginal though. Just...archetypal. Yeah, that's it. Archetypal.

I was once a heartbeat away from taking Ezalor lifer. Didn't like some of the things going on in Bloodloch and, having fought extensively in Bloodborn and Praenomen already, I really wanted Templar class. I spent a day or two thinking about it, was on the brink of doing it (even had my news posts typed up stepping down from my House head position), but the prospect of having to leave Iosyne's order is what ultimately stopped me. In hindsight that was a great non-decision.

We would have been so over.
