#'verse' wasn't sitting well when writing this so you get 'alternate' instead. harumph

[affectionate-remedy]

. . .usually I use the modern 'Sumi icons for out of character posts like this, but I'm in one hell of a headspace, so we're using the vampire's instead.

(it's the pinky-finger held up. it's silly, and why I went with it and not the usual.)

That aside, writing's felt weird. Maybe it's because I haven't done a whole lot of it recently, maybe it's because I'm running out of steam with what I've given myself to work with, and what I try to make myself work with. Maybe it's that I'm writing this at one (and now two) in the morning, and the natural post-twelve brain disfunction is kicking in, and maybe I just need to go to bed.

The rest is below the read more, for convenience sake, not for serious themes or such. If you don't feel like reading, scroll down below this post for a kitty-cat.

. . .unfortunately, I'm not going to bed quite yet. I don't need sleep; I need to get these thoughts coherent and on paper before they get jumbled up again.

With all that aside, to the main point of tonight's post; I'm likely going to shelf some alternates for 'Sumi. If not permanently, then until there's a tangible spine to the character's worldbuilding or backstory, as well as some more concise way to differentiate them from each-other besides the imagery of icons and their respective tag on each post.

The main, modern 'Sumi is sticking around, of course, however though, she isn't safe from having her foundations built on and upwards just because she's the anchor of this blog.

Vampire 'Sumi will likely see the light of day (ironically) as I've got a soft spot for her, having previously played her in a DND campaign.

Those two, listed above (modern, and fantasy) are the two that come to mind to keep, no matter what. So, there will probably be a priority on working on those two, before other alternates that I haven't really touched on or written of recently.

. . .though, I must admit, I think the thought to work on the foundations of 'Sumi as a character came from all the thoughts I've been mulling over for the very much so, probably won't be written, Persona alternate, as I wanted to do it and the respective series' frequent darker themes justice and somehow found myself wanting to do 'Sumi justice.

Anyway, that's it. That's the post. I'm going to bed.
