Good Day!

So much death and destruction over at Infusco Bonitas! My Bellatrix is very happy to have taken out a pair of Aurors. Not to mention all the civilian casualties....

It's really, really fun playing bad guys sometimes. I love it. There's so much room to do things, in my opinion, and so many more darker character aspects to explore. Don't get me wrong, I adore my good guys (and my morally ambiguous guys) but there's this sense of being able to really let loose with the baddies. The good guys don't go in for massive, whole scale, grand spectrum carnage. And sometimes, that's just a hell of a lot of fun.

I'm sure I could be more articulate about the joys of playing evil characters, but at the moment I'm still just giddy over Death Eater slaughter. With more on the way!

Ha! No, because I'm finding that funny now, too. Forget keeping game stock, keep bums! That is awesome, in an awful way.

The trio just works so well together. They seriously do. They just click in a way I don't usually see in games. I could waz poetic for hours on how brilliantly [livejournal.com profile] rivendellrose plays Hermione.

I might like to see you try to 'waz' poetic - I have no idea what that would be! ;)

Seriously, thank you. Hermione's definitely the character I'm proudest of, in terms of trying for a very canon portrayal. And I just love her to pieces, the neurotic little twit. *Snuggles her*

Damn you and your English major ways. ;)

You play one of the most canon Hermiones I have ever seen. And you should be proud of her.

Hey, four years and untold amounts of money pushed into the university, the least I can do is use it. Even if it's just for poking fun.

It's fun trying to strike the right balance between bookish little intellectual-snob, and nice girl just trying to do her best in the world - I love keeping her human and making sure she does stupid things sometimes. ;)

*Bounces at the icon* That icon always makes me so happy.

Meh, who uses their education. ;)

But you do it well. I can imagine it would be very hard, which is why I rarely write Hermione. She's just one of those characters that doesn't come easily to me. Lucius, either.

Yes! Happy Joe icon! Because it is all about the Joe happy!

Oh. That's okay then. ^_^ Instead of Fox Hunts with the rest of the DE, have Bum Hunts! ... Yet another mental image for you there. Walden in that country gentleman hunter get up. XD

Man, do not get me started about the Trio, because then we'd be here for hours while I tell the world how much I love them. [livejournal.com profile] lennaofmiddleearth plays such a good Harry. He's got all that "lost little boy" stuff and the "I need to be the hero" stuff perfectly mixed to the point that I don't know how else he could be played.

And, yeah, the Hermione rocks. She's so bookish and bossy, but underneath she's a real person with feelings and everything. It's a wonderful balance.

I couldn't play Ron the way I do without them, and I think that's why they're good together, because we all ping off each other for everything.

....

Why do I have the feeling we've had this conversation before? Or is it just that I like the idea of the DE going muggle hunting?

[livejournal.com profile] lennaofmidearth really is a kick ass Harry. In so many ways. And he's grown so much but stayed so very true to the character despite it all. And he plays perfectly off of the rest of the Trio, and the other major characters in his life.

You guys do ping off of each other awesomely well. For the most part, the game clicks together extremely well. And there's just so much really good interpersonal stuff that isn't shippy or smutty.

Both, I think. The idea amused us then as it does now. That and we both just love the DE and all the crazy shit they do. That and Walden somehow manages to be cute despite being "RWAR I kills you all!!!!!" I just want to hug him, then I remember he'd chop me in two.

Yeah, espeically Remus and Snape. Oh god, Remus and Snape kill me. Really. First off, the most canon way that relationship would work while they're adults. I love that Remus is totally the mother hen and Snape is the dad that sits in his chair with the news paper and lets Remus-mommy handle things. XD Not to mention Snape is so... Snape. And your Remus is so fucking wonderful and perfect in the game that it's mindblowing. (Because I don't tell you nice things enough.) He keeps them all together and not just because he has to, but because he wants to. He cares about all of them and doesn't want to lose a single one. I do not want to see the day that happens.

Thank you! I love that none of them are together in a shippy way because they're more family than anything else. It's obvious that they care about each other so much, but its doesn't need to be spoken just known.

So many hugs for Walden! Or virtual hugs, for fear of the axe. I love the DE, because they're such people. They're not caricatures or cut-outs.

I love them together, and I love how they work together. And that's so it. Remus is such a mother-hen type. And yes, Snape is so damn Snape it's not even funny. And good Snapes are very, very rare. *Blushes* Thank you. I do love my Remus, so much.

Yes! It's not shippy and there's no smut for smut's sake. Which is a problem so many games have. It's not focused on pairings or any shit like that.

I think the best thing about the DE is the relationships they have with each other. There are so many levels to the DE and their relationships. The rivalries, the romantic angles, and the familial ones. Espeically the Malfoy-Black-Lestrange mass. I adore the Lucius, he's so evil but a gentleman at the same time, while Bella is just his oppisite. Then there's Bast. Oh, Bast, you're so crazy and cute. He's got to be the scariest one of them all, though.

Of course! More than welcome, my friend. ^_^ And we all know why Snape is only kind of mellow now. Regular sex. But yeah, amazing Snape. Not wangsty, or goth, or any other shit, just Snape and damn proud of it, bitch.

That is nice. I've never understood "Whooo smut yay!" because really, just go read some fic or write it if that's what you're after. I like that if we're seeing smut, there's a reason for it, otherwise it's assumed that sexually active couples are so. But yes, it's about the people, not the OMG OTP!!!1ELEVEN!!
