Sometimes you're puzzling over why the characterization doesn't seem right, and then you realize that it's because you wrote someone having wayyyy more maturity and self-awareness than they should. Hoo boy.

Well, at least now I know how to fix this thing. :V

Speaking of writing, signups for iddyiddybangbang will be opening on July 10! This is a panfandom fest where the goal is to write a fic of at least 5k featuring whatever fulfills your desires/tickles your fancy/brings you joy. You can sign up with a WIP, too, rather than starting something totally new.

I've participated in it a few times before and always found it good fun. The July signup + September deadline + minimum wordcount has done wonders for getting me to tackle ideas longer than my usual and finish things that have languished in my WIP folder for years.

Haha, oh no! At least that's kind of a fun problem to fix. XD Throw in that melodrama!

Oooh, kind of curious which character that is. "They Would Not Be This Emotionally Intelligent" is a fun thing to troubleshoot for sure.

These characters aren't NEARLY messy enough!!

Probably just going to call for some dialogue tweaks, lucky for me.

WELL... it's Denmark. And like, I generally think he's pretty bright, but he doesn't seem like the kind to express himself in a very thought-out way, if you know what I mean? Especially if it's in the moment, regarding some of his fuckups, and he doesn't have time to think about it.

Yep, that sounds on brand for Denmark. Verbal de-escalation is not his forte. 👀Excited to see how the fic turns out!
