Look, it's a pony icon!
Kristen has come to DW! Not that I can't call her whenever I like, but exciting nonetheless!
Went over some of the summaries to prep for aforementioned project. My goodness, the summaries are SO DENSE, and I still didn't capture the entirety of what was going on. On the upside, it does mean I can re-read exact lines. Some things Dustin once said that I didn't understand at the time are more obvious on rereading-- specifically, in-character Gwenn complained once that Faure was intentionally withholding the truth about his life from her, and had lied about how he was going to answer her questions before. I had completely forgotten the scenario she meant, so Faure's response was, like mine, 'I...did? I'm sorry, I don't remember' which is in character, sure, but hilariously, I now know why I didn't have any recollection of that. Yes, he was absolutely going to answer their questions-- but in an almost comically bad series of events happening every time they were about to settle down and ask, the entire session during which he was going to respond was interrupted by other things happening, or other people pursuing conversations with the party. So, I can honestly say, he meant to tell you, Gwenn, it really just got put by the wayside and nobody remembered to ask the next day!
It's hard to decide whether to alter certain small details (or sometimes not so small details) in the adaptation. Like, Faure did mean to answer the questions. Should he? I'm a little torn, but I figure I'll get there when I get there. That's around the halfway mark and storyboarding even the beginning is going to be pretty intense work.
Gwenn has the highest ratio of adorable lines to times she opens her mouth of any character I've ever seen, so rereading the logs is totally a treat. Between her cuteness, Raven and Kiever's hilariousness, and Eberk's seriously badass lines, I can't help but grin like an idiot whenever I reread these things.
