Okay I am falling asleep at my desk now.
I’m going to bed for the night, still lots of cleaning to do tomorrow x.x
GOODNIGHT MY LOVERLIES!

No, but I actually live in perpetual fear of all of my OCs (in terms of gaming—like my Warden and my Shepard) are super bland and Mary Sueish
And I’m having one of those self doubt nights about it.
Maybe some writing will fix that.

After I stopped giving a shit about whether or not my characters were “Mary Sues” I felt immensely better. Because a poorly written character is a poorly written character, regardless of gender. If somebody is pointing to female characters and calling them Mary Sues, to me that says they have a problem with female characters EXISTING and being IMPORTANT and WELL-WRITTEN and you know what? My shit is too good for them they can get the fuck out.
YES THIS TOO THANK YOU. <3

I have very much been there my dear. I have had every argument in the book thrown at me many times by countless numbers of people.
I used to try and not let it get to me but… eventually it did for awhile. Put me in a bit of a Dark Place.
But eventually I sat back, looked at what I was doing, and just… THOUGHT. I changed things. And changed them again. And just to be safe changed them one more time! XD
I dunno where I’m going with this, my sleep-deprived brain told me to write something. I guess my point is, write/draw/play/create something that YOU like and YOU love, and in the end? That’s really all that matters. If others share your joy, that’s amazing! If they don’t… too bad for them, YOU are happy!

Fuck it, I’m not tired enough think about sleep so let’s see what some rambling can do.
Alexiandra Cousland… you little sack of shit. Where do I even begin with you.
Lexie was not my first character, hell she wasn’t even my first Cousland. I stumbled my way through an earlier Coussie so I could see what all the queen business was about. With Lexie, I planned to do a similar situation, only better laid out because I knew what would happen and the like.
WELL APPARENTLY SHE HAD DIFFERENT IDEAS.
Growing up she was never very interested in things her mother wanted her to be interested in. She stumbled her way through her studies, doing just well enough to get decent marks, but never really caring that much. She was far more interested in things that her older brother was doing, and that mostly involved large sharp objects and slicing said objects through haystacks.
Her father told her that if she kept her marks up, he would let her do some sword training, with her mother grudgingly agreeing.
Through the beginning of DAO, Lexie was dealing with a lot of inner turmoil that she did NOT want to talk about. When she first met Duncan, she was very eager at the aspect of becoming a Warden. Thinking about it constantly only romanticized it for her, but by the time she was clutching her dying father in her arms she flat out refused to go with Duncan, hysterically threatening to cut down the entirety of Howe’s army with her own hands.
Duncan knocked her out cold and dragged her away. She was FURIOUS when she woke, and only continued on when she realized she had nothing to go home to.
She tried to do the ‘right thing’ through most of Origins, and by the end she pretty much threw up her hands and said ‘FUCK THIS SHIT I HAVE AN ARCHDEMON TO FIGHT’.
She put Anora on the throne and she and Alistair continued on to rebuild the Wardens as best she could.
Lexie has many bad habits… the worst of which is Not Listening. She is as stubborn as a mule and will argue with the clouds about the sky being green until the world gives up and explodes in order to just not DEAL with it anymore.
She also has a bad habit of diving headlong into battle in order to blindly protect someone who MAY get hurt. This his how she wound up in front of shield-bearing Alistair when an emissary was throwing a fireball at him. Her armor was melted and she has a permanent scar across most of her chest.
Her leg is another story. A very looooooong story.
I really don’t know what I was going with on this. But I wanted to fit in with the cool kids so I did it. XD
NO ALL WARDENS ARE GREAT
Shhhhh not so loud! Don’t let Lexie hear you say that. Her ego is too big already she REALLY doesn’t need a boost >.>
You can ramble all you want later <3!
I just might if I find the time and words this weekend! Freaking spring cleaning man… gettin all up in my creative shit. It’s just not fair!
But seriously I could prattle on forever about Lexie. I really could.
But I’m so exhausted that thinky thoughts hurt right now.
And most of you have heard me ramble about her for so long that I’d just be boring.
Blargh.
Oh… I missed people talking about DAO characters.
:(
I has a sad now.
*goes back to her corner*
Top floor of the house is pretty much clean. Only a couple random things left to do.
Next up… main floor.
I’m so soooooore!
