ow, my brain

[strongheartmaid]

or where I discovered that my OC for FFXII is part of a storyline that would work for a soap opera

To wit:
She's in love with Basch - and the pair possibly get married (currently in game she's engaged to him, with a promise to marry him when he returns), but then his bastard of an identical twin brother assumes his identity and kills the king, which gets Basch excuted for treason, but he's not really dead, he's really been imprisoned - so she's nominally his widow (which causes her to be confused as all hell when she finds out that no he's not dead and no he didn't kill the king, his literal evil twin did). And to make things even more insane, once the evil twin dies as per game canon, the good twin assumes the evil twin's identity since technically the good twin is dead, which means she will have to "fall in love" with the evil twin who's really the good twin in disguise.

I told my friend who plays Basch for our game and she laughed at the comparison. But yay, soaps?

They are a leading sale for popcorn.

and yay for accidental Ho Yay as well. ::sheepish:: I was messaging her in character as one of the villains (Balthier, prior to his becoming the Air Pirate) and oh man, I was not paying attention to how I was phrasing things because I tossed out this little gem:
"it's going to be so much fun getting to know you quite personally"

which got the in character response of:
"That sounds....are you hitting on me?"

so, apparently my brain was all "Balthier will hit on anything with two legs!" ::buries face in hands::

Not going to lie, that's how most of the fanfic goes as well.

I hadn't even planned on having him do that!

all I can say is thank goodness those two haven't met in the game proper yet - because I'm not sure I can keep that nut from slipping again ::really hates that muse::

I think he's one of the few muses that actually drives me batty while playing him. (And trying to remember how you spell his real name, pffffft!)

oh, and I did an even better one ::dying::
playing as Ignis, and wrote in character the following (the context is the other character is going to be adopting an orphan)
which do you prefer, being called Big Brother or Daddy? Because reasons.

(I did snark out of character: you're an idiot, Ignis. Because that so can not be taken the wrong way /sarcasm)

poor Gladio... XD
