if you can get your hands on them, Char's personal notebooks / journals are probably (?) the only place where you can get the most truthful sense of who she is, what she thinks, and how she sees the world around her. even the letters and postcards she writes and sends to people have that layer of falseness to them as "Char" as we know her changes the instant she comes into contact with an Other, but her own notes, which presumably will never be seen by anyone except Char herself ( and the entity that sees through her ) might offer a clearer look at who this vessel is at her core.

#not saying that her notes / journals are some TELL ALL portal #for the most part char's note - taking and “journalling” is very practical #it'd be like reading someone's school notes or AT MOST maybe the notes a journalist or lawyer might take during an interview with a client #her “journalling” is rarely emotionally or even sentimentally driven #it's blunt and plain because she's taking down her own thoughts simply for the sake of her own reference (not reflection)#(bc her memory CAN BE so faulty... she needs to keep this shit simple)#but YEAH .. I've always loved this detail about Char tbh..#that she genuinely likes writing letters and sending postcards;#moreover that it's rooted in her studiousness #but also how it plays into written communication and archiving AS A TOOL for spreading MISINFORMATION and creating FALSE NARRATIVES HEHEH #think I've only ever included her “journalling” in one (?) maybe two (?) threads on here before? ....#have written a letter or two .... but yeah ....#don't ask her to fucking email though she doesn't have any means to do that and even then the email always gets FUCKED UP in transmission #she'd love to fax you smth tho <3 #bring back real intimacy (exchanging fax numbers)
