--Whom does you most recent POV character most wish to please? Why?

Oh, Kevin wants to please his children more than anything. Both in the sense of spoiling them rotten but also in the sense of wanting then to admire and respect him. He's been known to attack people simply because his son admired them more than him. Yeah, he's not the best guy.

I had to write a LOT of nonfiction this week so fic was largely by the wayside! However, I'm about to buckle down and dedicate an hour or so to my latest story and see if I can push through. Hope your POV characters are pleasing to you and others this week! :)

If I had been writing Sanosuke, this would be an easy answer: Saitou. It's even canon that Sanosuke learned new fighting techniques to impress and prove himself to Saitou. But ah... I have been writing Saitou this week! He's tough; he's not personable. XD In a way, at least for my headcanon, Saitou wants to please his wife, to be a good father to his children. I think a lot of people that he had wanted to please are no longer alive...

I got some writing done this week! But uh. I'm not writing what I should be writing~ I can't help it that Saitou and Sanosuke are so compelling! And all the big pieces for costumes are done, it's the little accessories are left, and they aren't hard but... It's stressful seeing a fairly long list of things you want to get done in less than a week. XD

Oh my goodness, that's the saddest sentence right there. And I actually love writing characters who aren't that interested in pleasing others, it's fun to dig into what else might be motivating them...

I hope the long list of things has gotten somewhat shorter! Mind has not, but that's okay!

Isn't it so sad though??? I really like to write Saitou as a fairly sad, old soul. It's not that he is incapable of feeling happiness and warmth, it's just that he's seen too much change and loss. Loss of the culture he grew up in, loss of the people he grew so close to in the Shinsengumi.

I actually got a lot done for Comic Con but! We only went 2 days and I was okay with that. I was hurting really bad and needed a day off. XD It was also super cold, so costumes changed a bit, but it was okay. We still looked really good! =D (One day I will post my cosplay pictures, but hey, that's yet another thing that takes time. XD)
