Character design thoughts (long) (the basics)
So, I was talking elsewhere to people about a character I've had for a very long time, one of my favorite character concepts yet one who I've not yet managed to really write out a world around.
Aditi, aka Aaron, is a two-bodied ferrets. He has two complete bodies, independent and not physically connected in any way. This led to some awkwardness growing up; until she was around four or five years old, her parents thought he was twins, and had been raising him as such. Multi-bodied individuals are not unheard of in this setting, but they're sufficiently uncommon that it just wasn't something Aditi's parents really considered a possibility at first.
Being raised as two people simultaneously had some effects on her mentality. For one, as he was raised simultaneously as a boy and as a girl (one of his bodies is afab, and the other amab), she manages to be genderqueer and nonbinary (bigender, specifically, both male and female at once, but emphatically not something in between or half-and-half) and yet also technically kind of cis at the same time.
This, incidentally, is why the pronouns are weird here. He uses both she/her and he/him semi-randomly intermixed. It's also why he has two names.
While she has one "male" body and one "female" body, she doesn't generally care that much about gendered presentation, and dresses both bodies from the same wardrobe. He does have an eye for fashion, making sure to look good, but she doesn't go out of his way to keep the masculine outfits on her masculine body--he can absolutely look fantastic in a dress whichever body wears it.
Aditi is technically still legally considered two people, mostly because she just can't be bothered to go through the whole process of getting that updated. It doesn't generally cause problems.
just realized how "name all the final fantasy games off the top of your head(s) without looking it up" sounds like an easy challenge considering the series just uses numbers but
then you think about the side games and X-2s and whatnot
and who would ever think to include final fantasy iv -interlude- without looking it up?
does anyone remember that before crisis -final fantasy vii- existed?
does final fantasy vii remake count as a separate game than the original or not?

you know what's *really* good? when a story has a really unexpected plot twist that makes you recontextualize *everything* that has happened up to that point
even better when you get stuff like "oh that innocent comment from five books ago takes on an entirely different light when you know that the one saying it secretly knew the truth the whole time" or whatever

is it just us or does it stress anyone else the fuck out when people say to make the most of an opportunity
because *fuck now we need to optimize every little thing* and that's way too overwhelming and then we can't actually do it and the opportunity ends up slipping by with us having made far less of it than we would have otherwise

woke up in the middle of the night with an upset stomach, didn't quite throw up but felt like we were going to, still feel a little like that... taking the day off work and probably going to see the doctor later because this happened last weekend too
